Playing the remaining Premier League fixtures at neutral venues has the "potential to have a material effect on the integrity of the competition", says Brighton's chief executive Paul Barber. On Friday, top-flight clubs were told on a video conference call that neutral venues will be the only way to complete the season. Up to 10 stadiums" would be used to resume the 2019-20 campaign. But Barber says his club are "not in favour" of the proposal.
Not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined this. I have to thank the club. I'm excited about this challenge and this project. He added: "Yesterday, I was walking around my home town with cows around me and now I'm here at Barcelona managing the best players in the world. Guillem Balague column: Why Quique Setien was appointed and why Xavi said noAfter managing lower-league sides, Setien led Las Palmas to 11th in La Liga - their best finish for 40 years - and enjoyed further success at Betis, where in his first season he led them to sixth place and qualification for the Europa League.
The EFL passed the change in ownership, a point that is likely to be used as a central component of Wigan's appeal against their points deduction. Au Yeung Wai Kay, who heads Wigan's new owner Next Leader Fund, claims it had "invested more than £40m" in the club and blamed the coronavirus pandemic for the decision to put them into administration. The petition states: "The recent news that Wigan Athletic was being put into administration just weeks after new owners were approved by the EFL must lead to a review of the effectiveness of the owners' and directors' test and its use by the EFL.

But are they on course for the best season by a newly-promoted team?And who is the most-fouled player in the Premier League and what unwanted statistic do Newcastle own? BBC Sport examines the key stats of the weekend. De Bruyne to deliver best yet?"Not since I saw Zinedine Zidane dominate the European Championship final in 2000 have I seen such a complete performance. BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks summed it up - De Bruyne put in a brilliant display at Emirates Stadium on Sunday as he almost single-handedly destroyed the Gunners.
The Spaniard, who has never managed a club for more than four years, denied reports earlier this month that his contract until 2021 contained a 'break clause' that could allow him to leave at the end of the season. City's hopes of a third successive league title look slim with Guardiola's side trailing Liverpool by 11 points and the 48-year-old said his future at the club was not entirely down to him.
This is today's edition of Corriere dello Sport. The newspaper could not immediately be reached for comment. Italian football has been plagued by racism and Lukaku himself was a victim when the Belgium forward was insulted with monkey chants when he went to take a penalty for Inter Milan during a Serie A match at Cagliari.

FK Jablonec plays against Fastav Zlin in the Czech 1st League. The side of the house is in third place and Zlin is in the second half table. Jablonec needs a victory to reach the group of champions. I guess the home eleven will win by at least 2 goals. In the last 5 recent comparisons of the two, Jablonec has won every game with at least that difference.

If we can get through Christmas and the chairman can give me four or five players to strengthen the squad, then we'll do extremely well," Hodgson said. We've talked about it for a long time so maybe this is the transfer window we'll get them. Palace next travel to Southampton on Saturday and their busy festive period ends with a game at struggling Norwich City four days later.
Video - 'The title race is over, it's done' - Guardiola00:59 09:10 - Sinclair apologises for Liverpool ‘bin dippers’ jibe Former Manchester City player Trevor Sinclair has apologised for his ‘bin dipper’ tweet aimed at Liverpool. City closed the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to eight points on Tuesday with a 4-1 win at Burnley.
In no way condones’? Good lord. It does no good to say ‘we do not agree’ – you have to expressly condemn it, promise to investigate and announce you’ll ban for life anyone found engaging in a hate crime. Because that’s what this is. It should be noted that the statement doesn’t appear on West Ham’s Twitter feed or even their website, when a strong message could have been sent to anyone even thinking about engaging in homophobia at football again.
Today in Germany, the final match of the Champions League group stage of Group F. Borussia Dortmund will host Slavia Prague. The hosts will definitely be the favorite at this meeting. They currently have 7 points, the same as Inter Milan and take 3rd place. If they want to advance to the next round of the Champions League, they need not only win but also get as many goals as possible to have a more favorable goal balance than Inter. Slavia Praga is ranked last in the group with 2 points and has no chance to play in European cup. In the first match in Prague they lost to Borussia 0-2. I think the hosts will have a great opportunity to win, because Slavia has no motivation to fight for something in this match.
Hadera did not manage to get up in the playoff group, in order to fight for at least place in Europe, or avoid relegation challenge. They left out with few points less, and now will get into the clash for the relegation. Nes Tziona was promoted in the previous season, and they are now second from below in the league. However, this team was made to avoid relegation again, and they should be able to rise in the next matches.
Bale held a fan's Welsh flag emblazoned with the message 'Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order' after victory over Hungary on Tuesday night which became the talk of the Spanish press in the following days. The forward was left on the bench by Zinedine Zidane and the crowd whistled when his name was announced before the game, then again when he entered the field of play in the 67th minute.

They will be hoping for a repeat of how that tie progressed. Internacional drew the away leg 0-0 and then clinched the tie with a 2-0 home victory with a goal in each half. They currently top the Gaucho 1 league table by two points and have only lost one of their last ten games. That just happened to be a home loss to Gremio, who they would meet in the group stages.
We won more or less all statistics but the one that matters is goals. I can't accuse the players too much. If you always feel unlucky it's not luck, it's a bit of quality missing. We're the underdog each game, even before the season started we were favourites for position 20. We have seven academy products, we're the only self-funding club in this division so we can't spend money.
Mourinho will be looking to end Tottenham's run of 12 league away matches without victory when they visit the London Stadium in his first match. Tanguy Ndombele and Jan Vertonghen have recovered from injury and will be assessed ahead of the weekend's match against 16th-placed West Ham, who are looking for their first win in seven league matches.
MLS side want Modric DC United are hoping to make Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric their next marquee signing after Wayne Rooney’s departure, the Daily Mail reports. Rooney left the MLS club at the end of last season – having returned to England with Derby – and now DC United had set their sights on 30-year-old Modric, who is also said to be a target for David Beckham’s new franchise Inter Miami.
Former boss Steven Pressley had just 10 months in charge of the League Two club and he leaves the Cumbrians in 19th position in the fourth tier, although the sacking may have come as a bit of a surprise given that he had led his side to two wins in their past three games in all competitions.The 46-year-old left after the 3-1 Leasing.com Trophy loss at Morecambe, having beaten non-league Dulwich Hamlet in the FA Cup and Macclesfield Town the week before.
Koln spent most of this season inside the relegation zone as 3 rounds ago they had just 8 points won all season but since then they won their last 3 games in the league in the ending of last year and they were not really easy games either defeating Leverkusen at home, Frankfurt on the road and Werder Bremen at home as well, while Wolfsburg is indeed a first hal of the league table team, but really do not have some world class players at their disposal and I will favor the hosts here.

One of the most important things – touching my heart – is that I am from Africa. There aren’t many African managers in the top leagues in England or Europe. I am used to having to come from a long way because there are no idols and no role models to look up to. That is why I am doing my badges. Some of my friends who have been playing maybe haven’t thought of that.
On that occasion Leicester were still bottom in March but won seven and drew one of their last nine games to escape the drop, only for Pearson, who took them up in 2013-14, to be sacked a few weeks later and replaced with Claudio Ranieri who took the Foxes to the title in the following season. The speed of the Watford revival has been more spectacular as they had won only one of their first 17 league games and appeared to be hurtling towards relegation.
He would also ask that they are given the space to do their jobs during what is an extremely challenging time for them and that his own family's privacy is respected. Dalglish, who also played for Celtic, is a revered figure at Anfield, having won six English league titles and three European Cups as a player.
The midfielder and captain is a presence on both appearance and goals list, and has also contributed the most assists of any Liverpool player in the past 30 years (70). He was the driving force behind two of the major trophies the club have lifted since 1990 - the 2004-05 Champions League and 2005-06 FA Cup. Both thrilling 3-3 draws, both won on penalties, both with Gerrard as the game's key man. It is also impossible to think about a Liverpool title challenge without it evoking two images of the Merseyside-born England international - the first of him in in the middle of a huddle of Reds players, demanding that they "don't let it slip" and the second of him looking absolutely devastated at Anfield having done just that against Chelsea.
One result never dictates your season - but a group of results does. Asked about his position, Howe told BBC Sport: "You're always looking at whether you are doing well enough and whether ultimately you're helping the team. That's something I'll have to reflect on. It's not a season-changing result but it was an important one' - Watford move out of relegation zoneFootball Daily podcast: Desperate times for Villa and BournemouthBournemouth started a game in the relegation zone for the first time in more than two years, after being as high as seventh when they beat Manchester United at the start of November.
Amazing finish. Conor K, Burnley: Typical Salah, misses 47 easy chances and then puts away the most difficult of them all. You can almost guarantee when he has a poor game he's going to score anyway. Harrison Short: What a goal from Salah, but nothing on that Roberto Carlos goal vs Tenerife in 1998 that was practically off the pitch. Leeds United moved top of the Championship as two goals in the last 20 minutes saw them edge past Hull City for a seventh straight league victory.
Jonny Evans celebrates his goal against Aston Villa - it was the 32-year-old's first of the season, and the second time he has found the net for Leicester since his £3. West Brom in the summer of 2018You don't see anything flash from Jonny, because he will sense any danger before it happens and find a solution long before a last-ditch tackle is needed. As I pointed out on MOTD2, he often does things that do not count towards his defensive statistics as a tackle or block, but still solve the problem.
The video was captioned with: “Corona whatttttt, please listen with volume” then subsequently: “This virus gunna have to be quicker than that to catch me. File under ‘not ideal’. In his favour, Alli did at least fairly swiftly realise the not idealness of his post and apologised, although hats off to you if you’re uncynical enough to think he realised this on his own without prompting from someone else.
Odd and Tromso will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eliteserien in Norway. Odd this season have the following results: 14W, 7D and 7L. Meanwhile Tromso have 8W, 5D and 15L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Hearts had a few moments in pursuit of a goal that might have made a contest of it, but Clare pushed a shot wide and Fraser Forster denied Michael Smith. All the time there was a threat from the champions, though. Callum McGregor had a goal disallowed, correctly. Edouard probably should have done better with a header. McGregor should have scored but Pereira denied him. In a way, both teams got what they were looking for.
The Foxes have emerged as top-four contenders this season, following on from a brilliant end to the 2018-19 campaign after he took over in February. With Arsenal managerless following the sacking of Unai Emery the former Celtic and Liverpool boss was touted with the Emirates job but he has now ended the speculation.
They have four wins in the last five matches and go to this game with four clean sheets in the last 10 matches. They have scored in each of the last 14 matches and in seven of the last 10 they have scored two or more goals. This is their fourth appearance at the Club World Cup and will be looking to do better than in the previous three.
What's more important is once the epidemic is over, we'll see each other at the baseball pitch!" she wrote. No fans were allowed in the 20,000-seater stadium to watch the Lions win 4-1, with health concerns limiting attendees to a total of 200 players, coaches, umpires, cheerleaders and journalists, local media reported.
Brendan Rodgers succeeded the sacked Dalglish in summer 2012 - appointed by the latest owners, Boston-based Fenway Sports Group - and promising early work came to a peak in the second half of the 2013-14 season. Rodgers was denied the sort of legendary status reserved for the club's title-winning managers by an infamous slip from one of Liverpool's greatest players. Liverpool were fifth at the turn of the year but there was a feeling of huge confidence around the club based on the brilliance of Luis Suarez, the goalscoring gifts of Daniel Sturridge and the teenage tyro Raheem Sterling.

Arsenal overcame David Luiz's dismissal against his old club to twice come from behind against Chelsea in an eventful London derby. The Gunners looked beaten when Jorginho fired Chelsea ahead from the penalty spot after Luiz was shown a straight red card for bundling over Tammy Abraham. The Chelsea forward had pounced on a terrible backpass by Shkodran Mustafi and rounded keeper Bernd Leno when he was shoved over by Brazil defender Luiz.
However, a Spurs statement on Monday said the club have now "exhausted all avenues of investigation". Antonio RüdigerGetty Images "The police have notified us today that, having reviewed and investigated, they have closed the crime report as they can find no evidence to support the allegation of racial abuse," Spurs added.
Paper Round’s view: A handful of clubs including Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have arranged their own deals with players in order to make sure staff are paid and to make sure their finances are not tipped into chaos, but unless an organised move is made across the league, other clubs could find themselves in desperate trouble and at risk of being stripped by more financially secure clubs.
And the credits were rolling once they had lost 3-0 at home to Burnley on 23 November. It was a dismal, damaging result and performance for Watford and Sanchez Flores - only confirmed by the sight of both manager and chief executive Duxbury shaking their heads in disbelief once Southampton had overturned a one-goal deficit at St Mary's on Saturday. Sanchez Flores has been unfortunate to be without injured talisman Troy Deeney, an inspiration, leader and spearhead on the pitch who has played only 34 minutes under the manager since having knee surgery in August.

Prognosis in seventh place with a record of 11 wins, 8 draws and 8 losses. While the Cracovia is in fifth place in the league with a record of 12 wins 3 draws and 11 losses. Neither team was able to end their negative run of form in the first game after the break. Szczecin got a 0-3 home defeat against Lubin. They are now in 6th place and has been winless for 6 games (0-3-3) and has only gained one point (0-1-2) and won only one win in the last 3 home games. In the last 7 games (1-3-3), Cracovia lost at home to Bialystok 0-1 last time out. The team is still fourth and made it to the semi-finals before the break in the cup, but the Bialystok game was their 5th consecutive loss. They performed better than before and a draw should come.
Amiens will also be boosted by their return to the Stade de la Licorne. While the recent losses are still unforgivable due to the margin of defeat, three of them came away from home where they have been consistently awful. At home it has been a different story with three wins in their last four games and seven goals along the way so Dijon will need to be careful in this one.
A break from the Covid-19 epidemic helped the Villarreal players regain their spirits after a poor performance in February and March. In the first match when La Liga restarted, and the "Yellow Submarine" did not betray the NHM when winning 1-0 at a trip on the pitch of Celta Vigo.
Valenciennes will be playing with the away team. Guingamp and this two team looking g at they last games they have not given an over of 3.5 total goals in their last 4 meeting and so this makes us to predict on this game with that market
