The football industry could "turn ugly quickly" as it struggles to come to terms with the coronavirus impact, said Jonas Baer-Hoffman, general secretary of world players' union Fifpro. Hoffman was on the first of today's three conference calls that resulted in Euro 2020 being moved back a year. Fifpro welcomed the move, saying it gave a chance to complete the club season, which is an economic priority.
Huddersfield come into this one unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches in the league, having drawn 1-1 in their last two matches. We expect them to pull off a similar result against a Bristol City side who have drawn four and lost none of their last seven at home. Following back to back draws at Ashton Gate, a 1-1 draw is our correct score pick.

Leicester City have lost two of their last five league games and were knocked out of the EFL Cup on Tuesday. Not the consistent form they were showing earlier in the season but a Champions League place is still looking more than likely. They take on a Chelsea side that can also be inconsistent but have had seven away league wins this season. A bet on both teams to score in this game looks a good one to make.

Britain's Health Minister Matt Hancock sparked a debate last week when he said Premier League players must "play their part" and take a pay cut while the league is suspended so that the clubs' non-playing staff are not furloughed. Former England captain Wayne Rooney said it was a "desperate" attempt to divert attention from the government's handling of the pandemic and Professional Footballers' Association chief Gordon Taylor has defended the players.

Nicolson referred to the "Football Association's fit and proper person test", but the relevant test is the Premier League's owners and directors test. It is understood that the Premier League is currently carrying out the necessary paperwork with regards to this test and the proposed takeover. Speculating that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which is behind the proposed takeover, were to pass that test, Nicolson asked: "In that eventuality would you be able to intervene and would you consider doing so?"Dowden replied: "I think it is a matter for them to carry out.

Gillingham haven't done brilliantly at home in League 1 this term, but they've not been too bad. Moreover, they've made a habit of beating teams that lack forward power on their travels, as wins over Wycombe, Bolton, Southend and Lincoln suggest. Such wins bode well ahead of a game against a Sunderland side that struggled to make an offensive impact when playing away from the comforts of home.

Jason Knight's first goals in professional football were enough to give 10-man Derby a much-needed win over Charlton. The hosts took an early lead when teenager Knight bundled home at the back post but soon found themselves reduced to 10 men when Krystian Bielik was sent off for a poor challenge on Conor Gallagher. Knight looked to have made the points safe for the Rams, who went into the game on the back of seven matches without a victory, with a composed finish from Max Bird's cross.
Instead, Alex Neil's men saw their unbeaten home record ended and they remain sixth, just inside the play-off places but 11 points behind the table-topping Baggies. Relive West Brom's win at PrestonPreston's depleted defence had performed well to limit West Brom, the Championship's top scorers and now unbeaten in nine matches, to efforts from distance for much of the game. Rudd denied Nathan Ferguson and Matt Phillips from distance in a one-sided first half while Kyle Bartley spurned West Brom's only real clear-cut chance, side-footing a Phillips free-kick wide from close range.
The visitors also have history against them when they head to Celtic Park. Rennes have lost both of their previous away games against Scottish opponents, going down 0-1 against Rangers in 1971 (Cup Winners' Cup) and 1-3 against Celtic in 2011 (Europa League). The Bhoys have built on that with their draw in the away meeting, adding to the visitors’ struggles in this competition.
After three wonderful years in Manchester, I have taken the difficult decision to leave at the end of this season and accept an offer from Wolfsburg for a new challenge in my career. I believe the time is now right for the next chapter in my football journey and I am looking forward to the challenge of playing in the German Bundesliga. The former Lyon forward has previously played in her home country with Turbine Potsdam.

Actually, ‘a starring role’ rather undersells the scale of the feat Miedema achieved, as the Dutch star scored SIX and assisted FOUR more in one of the most astonishing individual performances seen in football. Just look at the pass here: Zero: This guy COMING UP The Ballon d’Or is awarded tonight and there are rumours that Lionel Messi might have edged it ahead of Virgil van Dijk, who has had an objectively better 2019 but, well, isn’t the greatest player of all time.
Ntcham dallied needlessly outside his own area, the ball was fed to N'Doye and from around 10 yards, on an angle, his finish was true off the inside of Forster's right-hand post. Suddenly the home side were level and totally re-energised. Callum McGregor then blasted over from just outside the box when he had Christie to his right and Edouard to his left, Copenhagen's cover stretched to the limit. Had his decision making been better, Celtic's lead would surely have been restored.
Winning the Champions League in June has elevated them to a new level - and they are showing it was just the start. We first saw the mentality of these players from the way they reacted to losing the 2018 Champions League final. You only have to look at what has happened to Tottenham so far this season to see how tough that is to take. Liverpool then had to deal with coming so close to winning the Premier League just a couple weeks before their second successive European final - again, there was no hangover, and obviously this time they won.
Chairman Ed Woodward approached captain Harry Maguire with the idea, according to the Daily Mail, and it was given full backing by the players. United are continuing to pay all matchday staff during the crisis and have not sought to use the government's furlough scheme to help struggling companies protect jobs.
Three consecutive defeats before the break put Frankfurt boss Adi Hutter under pressure to turn things around. However, there weren't any signs of an improvement upon their return to the pitch when they were battered in a 3-1 defeat to Gladbach. That scoreline isn't a true reflection on how dominant Gladbach were in that fixture, a late Andre Silva consolation arriving long after the game had been sewn up.
BBC Sport has contacted the Saudi wealth fund and representatives of the consortium asking for a response to Amnesty's letter. The Premier League and Newcastle have also been approached for comment. Newcastle United takeover Q&AAmnesty - a non-governmental organisation which focuses on human rights - has long criticised Saudi Arabia's human rights record, pointing to long-standing issues including women's rights, the treatment of the LGBT community and the restriction of free speech.
Even if the race for the top four is of a shocking standard, it could get very interesting between now and the end of the season. IN OTHER NEWS Remember Andre-Pierre Gignac? Yesterday he did this: HEROES AND ZEROES Heroes: Watford In case you missed it on Saturday (unlikely given the sounds of celebration emanating from a certain corner of north London), Liverpool lost their unbeaten run when being battered 3-0 by Watford.
Dalian Yifang FC and Beijing Renhe will face each other in the upcoming match in the Super League in China. Dalian Yifang FC this season have the following results: 9W, 8D and 12L.

The big thing for him is his ankle is okay. It's a freak one, it's a difficult one but he has to stay strong mentally and he will. Bruce was given a boost with forwards Dwight Gayle and Yoshinori Muto back from thigh and pelvic injuries respectively, but Ciaran Clark is sidelined with an ankle injury with the defender set to see a specialist this week.

Wearing replicas of the first Bayern shirts 120 years ago, to mark the club's birthday, they laboured to add another in the second half with Augsburg keeper Andreas Luthe stopping a point-blank Philippe Coutinho shot and Serge Gnabry scuffing a handful of golden chances. Augsburg wasted their best opportunities late in the game when Florian Niederlechner's shot was blocked by Manuel Neuer and Alfred Finnbogason headed wide in the 81st.
Anything that was coming in, I would just go in for. Alisson Since the start of last season, Alisson has conceded a goal on average every 156 minutes (33 goals conceded in 5155 minutes) - the best ratio among keepers to have played more than one game in the competition during this periodPremier League appearances: 58Clean sheets: 31Lineker: "He has been unbelievably good for Liverpool, has made a massive difference to their team and transformed things for the team.
Predicting the result is a little more tricky with Central Coast showing last weekend that they’ve got plenty of resolve. This game could well be a little beyond them with just one win away from home for The Mariners this season and we’re backing Western United to come away with all three points in a 2-1 win.
Sassuolo, eighth in the table, have no chance of reaching seventh place as that's 11 points away. A top-ten finish is still a moderately good season for the club though and it would be their first since 2016. They will be desperate to hang on to what they have and know that a slip-up could lead to one, if not all, of the three clubs that are two points behind them leapfrogging.
Despite coming from an horrible streak of 5 losses in a row which have increased their gap to the top of the table, Cracovia seems to be favorite in this match vs Lechia: Cracovia can still count on one of the best defenses of the whole League and their attack has also been quite good, having scored an average of more than a goal per match. Cracovia comes from 3 wins in a row vs Lechia Gdansk and in the last 2 Lechia hasn't even been able to score any goal. Considering the good defense shown by Cracovia so far, Lechia should score no goal this time too and the visitors could win.
Braga are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions, following their midweek draw with Wolves in the Europa League, and will be looking to leapfrog their guests on Monday night with a win. Rio Ave have enjoyed a bright start to the season and head into Monday’s clash on the back of 1-0 wins on league and cup, so we’re expecting a close and competitive ninety minutes between the pair.

Arsenal have spoken to all their players after Alexandre Lacazette, David Luiz, Nicolas Pepe and Granit Xhaka were pictured breaking social distancing guidelines. Lacazette was too close to someone valeting his car, while Luiz and Xhaka were having a kickabout in a park. Pepe was seen playing football with some friends. The quartet, along with the rest of the Gunners squad, have been reminded of their responsibilities.

Kabel Novi Sad is the best team in this league. They are penalized by deducting 10 points but are still competing for a higher ranking. They are one of the teams that has not lost at home. Radnicki Pirot almost finished the season because they are in the middle of the table so they have no real motives. In the first part of the season, Kabel won 1-0 away. I expect an easier victory today. I don't think the guests will play in the best lineup in this game because some players boycotted because they didn't have a regular income during the pandemic.
Deportivo Alaves II will play against Real Valladolid II in the Spanish Segunda Division B group II. My tip for this game between Alaves B vs Real Valladolid B is a draw. The home team have drawn two of their last five home matches. They have been playing good lately and can get at least a point here. The away team, on the other hand, have drawn 4 of their last 5 away matches and they are one of the most draw prone teams of the league.. Based on these statistics, I bet on a draw here in this match
Neman Grodno have won their last two league games. Slavia Mozyr have only won one of their five home league fixtures. Slavia Mozyr won their last game but struggled to beat bottom-of-the-table Belshina. Both of these sides had a good win in their last Belarus Premier League fixture. Slavia Mozyr are eighth in the table, a point and two places above Neman Grodno but their opponents have a game in hand on them.
I've been in love with Mbappé for a long time," said Zidane. I've been seeing him for a long time, when he came here [to Real Madrid] for trials. Spurs lineup Ake transfer Tottenham are keeping a close eye on Bournemouth defender Nathan Aké as they look to bolster their defence, having kept just one clean sheet this season, the lowest of any side in the Premier League.
Both these sides have not had much going their way but Sheffield Wednesday will be glad to have notched a late win in the run up to this match. The last two meetings between these two sides ended in 1-1 draws, which left Derby unbeaten against Sheffield in three matches. Going to this match, it has not been easy for Sheffield at home; they have failed to score in four of the last five, while they have managed just five wins in the last 15 home matches. Derby on the other hand, will bank heavily on their goal scoring run here, especially away from home. They have scored two or more in four of the last six away matches and we are backing them to score here too. Based on their scoring form away from home, and Sheffield's at home, we are backing Derby for a win.
The FA is set to launch new coaching guidelines that will restrict the amount of heading by under-18 players in training. The new guidelines, first reported in the Times, have yet to be finalised but will not entirely ban heading. Last month, BBC Scotland revealed the Scottish FA was set to ban under-12s heading the ball in training. A study in October found the first links between playing professionally and dying from dementia.
