West Bromwich Albion have not had a very rosy time in the past few matches, and as a result have dropped to second on the standings, though on goal difference. They are without a win in their last four league matches and really need a boost. Charlton on the other hand, are really struggling to cope in the Championship. The fact that they have been dominated by West Brom in earlier matches will not help their situation. They have a poor run at home and face a side with a fairly good run away from home. One positive though is that Charlton have scored pretty regularly in the last 15 matches at home while West Brom do not keep many clean sheets. Based on the two sides’ defensive and attacking returns, we expect both to score but we will go for a West Brom win. We are backing them to dominate this clash and thus we will go for them to win in both halves.
Following a full and thorough investigation, the police have now confirmed they will take no further action. In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said: "A man arrested on Sunday, 17 May following an allegation of rape has been released with no further action. The incident is therefore no longer being investigated by police. Chelsea have declined to comment. Hudson-Odoi, who has three England caps and in September signed a new five-year contract with Chelsea, was the first Premier League player to test positive for coronavirus.
Under these circumstances, we must now do everything in our power to protect fans, players, coaches, and everyone else involved in our beautiful game. Most importantly, the football authorities must take all necessary measures to prevent the virus spreading to the wider community," he said. Most football leagues in Europe and many around the world have suspended play due to the spread of the virus and European governing body UEFA are meeting on Tuesday to discuss a possible postponement of Euro 2020.

I think the VAR should change their name because Video Assistant Referee is not true. It should be VR - Video Referee - because they are the referees. You see the refs on pitch and they not the refs, they are the assistants. The other guys in the office are the ones who make the big decisions. What I know is the Dele Alli penalty was a penalty and the VAR didn't interfere.
Juventus have scored 12 goals in the last five matches. Internazionale have two wins in nine away matches in Coppa Italia. Internazionale have two clean sheets in the last five away matches. Juventus have six straight wins ahead of this game. Juventus have lost just once in the last eight Coppa Italia games.
Bournemouth remain in the relegation fight in 16th place, and manager Eddie Howe will rue the failure to convert some clear chances to win the game. TALKING POINT Can Sheffield United claim a top-four spot? Sheffield United’s best ever season in the top division was a sixth-placed finish in 1974-75. They have never played in any of the major European competitions, yet with just under a third of this season to go Wilder’s freshly promoted side are zoning in on something unprecedented at Bramall Lane.

The matchday experience at Birmingham isn't great, I don't like it," said White. I drag my parents, who are in their 80s, to Birmingham and we go because it's been a family tradition to go to football since 1968. But it's not the same as watching us in Coventry. St Andrew's is an away ground. It's not our home. There are not enough people there. White fears Coventry will miss out on a new generation of fans if the team is not back playing in the city soon.
Torpedo has the most 0-0 games in the league, and Gorodeja played all their games with under 2.5 goals and never lost by more than one goal difference, in fact they are 2-1-1 on the road, but really not as great a club as their results show as their tactics are very defensive minded, they look to score mostly from set pieces or a lucky rebound in the box and look to defend the lead or the draw like in games like this one against tough opponents from start to finish.
Raith Rovers against Forfar Athletic in match Scotland League 1. My prediction this match could be won for Raith Rovers with margin score is 2 goals. Raith Rovers have great result on last 5 match due to Raith Rovers have won in 3 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Forfar Athletic have not good result on last 5 match due to Forfar Athletic always lose. Therefore my prediction that Raith Rovers can defeat Forfar Athletic due to Raith Rovers have yet lose in every home match. Surely Raith Rovers have more chance to win on this match.
Hodgson never came to terms with the job, albeit a difficult one at the time. Liverpool were dumped out the Carling Cup by League Two Northampton Town at Anfield in September and The Kop was calling for their idol Kenny Dalglish during a home defeat by newly promoted Blackpool in October. Hodgson was sacked by new owners Fenway Sports Group in January with Liverpool 12th and having won only seven of 20 league games.
However in January last year, Vitoria was sacked after Benfica suffered their third league defeat and exited the Champions League at the groups stages. Bringing in Bruno Lage paid off for the Portuguese giants, who won 18 of their following 19 league games, drawing the other, to reclaim the title. But for Fernandes, the opportunities dried up.
The South Korea international suddenly looked impressive again especially on the counter attack. His goal was beautifully taken but sadly I fear his return to form might be too late to get Spurs a Champions League spot. The very thought of Thursday night Europa League football in the best stadium in the world doesn't seem right. Spurs fans were told Jose Mourinho would fix this. Did you know? Son both scored and assisted a goal for the first time ever in a Premier League north London derby.

Van Persie won the Premier League title with Manchester United after joining the club from Arsenal in 2012. He made 86 appearances for the club, scoring 48 goals, before moving to Turkish side Fenerbahce in 2015. Solskjaer scored 91 goals in 235 appearances for the Reds between 1996 and 2007. Yeah Robin, he took my [shirt] number 20 and that's probably all he's going to take from me as well," Solskjaer said.
But we've lost just three league games all season. The players and staff have been magnificent. They're the best I've managed," added the 50-year-old former Manchester United striker, who was also in charge at Rotherham United, Barnsley, Huddersfield Town and Scunthorpe United before returning to Coventry for his second spell as boss in March 2017. Promotion all the sweeter' - CEO Dave Boddy Mark Robins has been in charge for 201 games in his two spells with Coventry"The achievement is all the sweeter, considering the adversity we've been dealt with over the last few years," added chief executive Dave Boddy.
Four of RB Leipzig's past five Champions League goals have been penalties, including each of the past three. Only one team has ever scored more than four penalties in a single Champions League campaign - Barcelona in 2011-12 (five). All three of Spurs' Champions League defeats this season have been against German teams (two against Bayern Munich, one against RB Leipzig). Only one team has ever lost more than three in a single campaign all against teams of the same nation, with Leeds United falling to all five of their defeats in 2000-01 against Spanish opponents.
The Brazilian was introduced as a first-half substitute when Chelsea were trailing 1-0 to a Pierre-Emerick Aubamenyang header and was booked 10 minutes into the second period.

Atletico Olympic and Bujumbura will face each other in the upcoming match in the Primus League in Burundi. Atletico Olympic this season have the following results: 9W, 8D and 10L. Meanwhile Bujumbura have 10W, 7D and 10L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Juventus, for instance, always have a full house at the Allianz Stadium, which brought them 74m euros (£62m) in revenue during the 2018-19 season - 53m (£45m) of which came from matchdays. Clubs have not been forced to play behind closed doors, with other options available. Clubs could have also suspended games and postpone them, but there are scheduling issues," said the Italian minister of sports Vincenzo Spadafora.
With five of their remaining games being away, could this help them in their quest for European qualification? Equally, could it harm Brighton in their quest to stay up? Having claimed four important home wins this season, five of the Seagulls' remaining nine games are at the Amex, including a run that sees them face Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City - matches in which they could really have done with a partisan support behind them.
Fernandes, who can also operate as a forward, was a member of the Benfica squad last season that won the Portuguese Primeira Liga title. The 21-year-old has also played twice for the Portugal senior team after making his debut in 2018 and has made more than 60 appearances for various age group teams, winning the Under-17 Euros in 2016.
They may only need three points by the time they play Liverpool if some of their rivals drop points this week. Chances of top four (from football statisticians Gracenote, A Nielsen Company): 87%4. Leicester CitySheff Utd (h, 16 July), Spurs (a, 19 July), Man Utd (h, 26 July)Leicester City are in the fourth Champions League spot, but only above Manchester United - their final-day opponents - on goal difference.

Both teams could do with a win from this game. Brighton haven’t won all year and although draws earn points, some three-pointers will do their survival hopes the power of good. Home form isn’t as good as it was in the early part of the season and they fall behind too many times. Palace had a much needed win last weekend and will want to build on that. Away form isn’t great though and the tip here is for this game to end in a draw with both teams getting on the scoresheet.
Ultimately, we're expecting this to be a competitive game and separating the two appears a tough task. Newport have been struggling in recent months but Rodney Parade is typically a tough venue to visit and with the visitors in the midst of a blip, the hosts should certainly be able to give them a run for their money; despite the 8 point gap between the two in the standings.
The hosts are fighting for a top 6 finish at the end of the normal season and are quite close to those places at this moment plus they face here the weakest opponent in the league they could possibly face as the guests are bottom of the league team with a bit more than 10 points won so far, just 2 wins all season long in the league and even lost at home 1-0 to same Kilmarnock side while their last two away games they lost 2-0 and 4-0 in the end and opponents were neither Celtic or Rangers but weak St. Mirren and Motherwell.

Only Norwich have scored fewer than West Ham's 10 away goals in the top flight this season. West Ham have dropped a league-high 19 points from winning positions this season, failing to win eight of the 14 games in which they scored first this season. David Moyes has lost five of his six fixtures as a manager versus Pep Guardiola, only avoiding defeat in Manchester United's 1-1 home draw against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-final first leg in April 2014.
Newcastle are favorites here, but I think Rochdale could stay unbeaten in the regular time. The key reason for my pick is connect with Newcastle. The Magpies had a busy festive schedule, like every other club in England. But they lost all three matches. Newcastle suffered a 4:1 defeat to Manchester United, 2:1 to Everton and 3:0 to Leicester City. On the top of that, four players suffered injuries. They are all important - Jonjo Shelvey, Javier Manquillo, Fabian Schar and Jetro Willems. Their absence will be a huge problem in the next period. I am sure manager Steve Bruce will rotate the remaining players to avoid some additional injury. Virtually, he will play with lot of youngsters. In this situation the FA Cup is not important for Newcastle. Rochdale could take advantage from this situation.
I thought here about away win at first glance since Khimki start this season in style winning all games so far. Still, home side Aldo have ambitions for next round and since this Khimki series must come to the end somewhere, I still pick up here bet on goals. As I said up in text, Khimki manage to score 15 goals at last 3 games and Against Torpedo Moscow scored 5 goals, against Tambov 7-0 and Tom Tomsk 3-0. So they are really on fire. If they win they will score 3 goals as well. So over 2.5 goals look like safer option for me.
Cruyff had an aura about him. He was a very serious guy and he was still playing in training, and even at 41 he was still a great player," says Dick. I liked the arm around the shoulder, being given a bit of confidence, but I didn't get that from him. I was maybe 21 or 22 at the time; if I had been a slightly different character I would have approached him more. I kick myself now because when you get that chance… but it just wasn't me.
TALKING POINT Can West Ham cope without Fabianski? The visitors will leave Bramall Lane frustrated by their disallowed goal in injury time but may have a bigger headache at the other end of the pitch. Fabianski returned from injury recently and has kept two clean sheets in a row for his new manager. After hobbling off in the first half tonight, his replacement gifted the winning goal to Sheffield United.
Only Tottenham (17) and Bayern Munich (21) have scored more goals than Salzburg (16) this season. Since 2003-04, the most goals scored by a side in the group stage to be eliminated is 16 scored by Chelsea in the 2012-13 campaign - they went on to win the Europa League. LiverpoolLiverpool have won five of their seven games against Austrian sides in all European competitions (drew one, lost one), losing only to Grazer AK in a Champions League qualifier in August 2004.

There would be players getting more exposure to real football, and I think that would help us in the long run. We need to be giving kids the opportunity to play against men," McCann added. The classic example is [Liverpool and Scotland defender] Andy Robertson, who left Celtic but is now captain of our country. He's captain because he got real football at a good level, and afterwards a brave manager took him to Dundee United - then he went on to flourish.
