Aston Villa will host Newcastle United for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this league. True, Newcastle Utd have better position in the table. They are currently on the 13th place with 15 points. Yeah, the visitors have two consecutive victories. However, Newcastle is modest team on the road. Also, Newcastle have less potential in attack. Aston Villa are currently on the 17th place with 11 points. Hosts have three consecutive losses. In any case, they will try to make a positive result because they are constantly getting close to the relegation zone.

Around 1,400 players across the EFL are out of contract at the end of June and there is an ever-growing possibility that fans will not be allowed to attend matches until next year - starving clubs of, what is for many, their main income source. I can't see clubs offering contracts in that period," said Alex Rodman, midfielder at League One side Bristol Rovers. He told BBC Radio 5 Live: "A lot [of the 1,400 players] could be lost to the game, which would be a massive shame.
The hosts came into the contest having won just once in their last four league games, but Isaac Hayden's dramatic stoppage time header snatched all three points for Steve Bruce's side. Chelsea missed several chances, especially in the second half, to break the deadlock, having controlled much of the match, enjoying 70% possession in the 90 minutes.
This won't be easy for the home side but West Ham have finally found some form. They have four points from their last two league games and been scoring plenty of goals at home. Burnley still have an outside chance of European qualification but their lack of goals is a worry failing to score more than once in each of their last six league fixtures. Go for West Ham to take a massive step towards survival with a home win.

Slutsk will against Ynergetyk-BDU in match Belarus Premier League. My prediction this match could be the win for Slutsk with margin score is 1 goal. Slutsk have good result on last 3 match in league due to Slutsk have won for the all match. Meanwhile, Ynergetyk-BDU have not good result on last 3 match in league due to Energetyk-BDU only have won in 1 match and 2 match is lose. Therefore, I think that Slutsk can beat Ynergetyk-BDU on this match due to Slutsk more strong and only have 1 lose from 7 match in competition. Surely Slutsk have more chance to win on this match.

In addition, it has lost all revenue from hospitality - about £35m per year - at Wembley, which it anticipates "will probably take years to recover". Proposing redundancies is the toughest cost-saving measure that any organisation can consider implementing, but we believe that we must now adapt and future-proof the organisation to ensure our cost base reflects a future with significantly lower revenues," said Bullingham.

Gareth Bale "is not ecstatic" at Real Madrid but there's "no guarantee" he will leave the Spanish club in January, says his agent Jonathan Barnett. Wales forward Bale, 30, has won the Champions League four times in six years with Real but nearly joined China's Jiangsu Suning in the summer. He has never asked to leave," said Barnett on the Euro Leagues Podcast. He has a contract with Real Madrid and as long as they want him, there's not much anyone can do about it.
Their form on the road is a bit of a worry and will certainly have to improve if Monday's hosts are to cement themselves as a top-two team, but fortunately, their efforts at home have been very good. Stuttgart have won six out of eight at Mercedes-Benz Arena, including each of their last two, both of which saw them net three goals. A repeat of either of their last two attacking performances at this venue would surely be enough to see off a Nurnberg side that has leaked plenty of goals on the road.
Augsburg are unbeaten in 10 matches against Koln. Koln have conceded at least two goals in eight of their last 10 matches. Augsburg have won eight games this season, five of those at home.

The German Bundesliga enters Round 30 this weekend with one of the matches seeing Augsburg host Koln with both sides keen on collecting three points.
The greatest pass I have ever seen'David is probably best known for being a silky number 10, sitting directly behind the strikers, but he also played on the left and right of midfield without it seeming to bother him in the slightest, and it is the same now he is in a deeper role. Anyone can play anywhere, but the difference with David is that he always affects the game. Some of my best games at right-back for City were with him in front of me, threading balls through for me to run on to all day long, easy as you like.
Liverpool moved 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League after claiming a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Tottenham.

Jurgen Klopp is confident his Liverpool side can pick up where they left off before the suspension of the Premier League but stresses that football is "not like riding a bike". The Reds were enjoying one of the best campaigns in Premier League history when the league was halted in March. They go into Sunday's Merseyside derby at Everton 22 points clear at the top and two wins away from the title. I expect us to be in a good shape," said Klopp.
The togetherness and leadership they showed today, this is what I wanted to see," Arteta, whose side are level on 30 points with Newcastle, Everton and Crystal Palace said. Chelsea are six points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United but a win for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side at home to Burnley on Wednesday would cut that advantage in half.
Ebbsfleet has good results in their recent away games winning 3 away games in a row before their most recent away game at Stockport which ended in just a 1-1 draw in the end, but they won here with no less than 3-0 last season on their last visit here at Barnet, so it is understandable why odds of 3.60 for the away win are dropping at this moment just that the guests have drawn many games lately so I prefer to take double chance on them here.

West Brom had a terrible run of form that almost wiped out the lead they had over third place. February has seen them turn everything around and they are again hot favourites to win promotion. Preston still have a good chance of promotion, perhaps even getting second place. Their away form has been a problem but the last three have been won. Those were against relegation candidates though and this is a much sterner test. Go for a West Brom home victory.

Almost every footballer out there has their own book these days. You know the drill - the obligatory autobiography telling of great victories and what makes them tick on and off the field. However, plenty of footballers have also ventured deeper into the literary world. On World Book Day, we take a look at a handful of those players and managers - and one wordsmith in particular - who put pen to paper on something other than a contract or the standard tell-all tale.
The Hornets were buzzing minutes later when a clever pass from Deeney sent Sarr through on goal to loft the ball over Alisson for his second. And the hosts were in dreamland when Sarr capitalised on a poor backpass from Trent Alexander-Arnold and unselfishly set up Deeney to score his side's third. The result means Liverpool still need more 12 points to clinch their first title since 1990 while Watford climb to 17th position.
