Melbourne City’s title challenge has fallen in recent weeks, a lot like their Premier League counterparts. City have lost four of their last six games after a nearly perfect start, with that run leaving them nine points shy of the leaders in the A-League. Can the hosts start to claw that back with a victory over Western United this week?
I don't know when I'm going to find a match. The second transplant will be quicker [to recover from]. The first one, I was in hospital for a week - it took me about four to six months to get back to football. The second one, I know what I'm doing so I will get back quicker. I need a transplant as soon as possible. When it drops down to 15% [functionality] that's when you really need one. A few months back I was quite ill and that's when it dropped below 15% and that's when the NHS said I needed one.
Everyone in football will lose out if that happens," he told reporters in a conference call. I don't think it's responsible to make that consideration at the moment. If we have any chance of finishing the season, we have to do so because the impact for players and everyone else in the game will be great if we don't.

When we found out they had only drawn 1-1, our bench erupted. Our game was still going on and we were losing 2-1 but our players were celebrating on the pitch. We were champions. Jack Walker celebrates Blackburn's title triumph with Alan Shearer, who finished the season with 34 top-flight goals'My mum and dad were on MOTD'Walker's dream comes true. Despite defeat at Liverpool, Blackburn are champions of England after finishing ahead of Manchester United.
The player returning from abroadKallum Higginbotham has returned after an eventful season in the Indian I-League with David Robertson's Real Kashmir. The 30-year-old former Falkirk, Partick Thistle and Dunfermline Athletic forward's time in the war-torn region ended with almost 50 days in quarantine at his hotel. If I was in this situation in the past, I would have been a hell of a lot more worried than I am now.
There is no doubt that there is an excellent player in there and he could look to other Premier League imports who took a season to find their feet, but should Barca come calling, it would be hard to turn down the lure of Camp Nou, the guarantee of Champions League football and the chance to challenge for the league title, none of which Tottenham can offer.
They were absolutely brilliant," he wrote. As a nation, we are all very fortunate to have them and I wish them all well as they work tirelessly to help the country through this pandemic. People may think my name got me the best of care but every patient in the NHS gets the best of care. Dalglish will continue his recuperation at home in self-isolation.
Varnsdorf and Prostejov will face each other in the upcoming match in the Division 2. Varnsdorf this season have the following results: 5W, 6D and 10L. Meanwhile Prostejov have 6W, 8D and 7L.

Barcelona captain Lionel Messi says "things have to change" at the club as they lost their La Liga title on the night their 30-game unbeaten home run in the league came to an end. Even a win would not have been enough for Barca, as Real Madrid beat Villarreal 2-1 to win the title. Jose Arnaiz put Osasuna ahead before Messi levelled with a free-kick. The visitors had Enric Gallego sent off for elbowing Clement Lenglet before Roberto Torres' close-range winner.
Naftan started this season with a clash against Gomel where they were underdogs. They played pretty solid in the defensive and they got one point after a draw. Naftan still looks good and at home, they should show their real skills. The home advantage is very important for them and I expect them to win this match. Lida failed to win the first match against Orsha where they were favorites. They conceded three goals and scored two. I don't think that after a bad match they will improve much and win against Nafta. My pick here is Naftan to pick three points
Will there be fan parks?

United could only truly relax, with a cushion of at least three goals, for 67 minutes out of 43 hours. They had to go to the well again and again and again, and that was just in January and February. It was the fighting spirit that won us the Treble,” said Gary Neville. It wouldn’t have been half the story if we’d thrashed Bayern 3-0.

The procedure is carried out in the car park of Wolves' training ground and takes less than a minute. It is part of a £4m agreement between the Premier League and Hong Kong-based genetic testing company Prenetics.

Premier League games to all be streamed With coronavirus causing havoc across the world, and with almost all sport suspended, the Sun reports that the Premier League are making plans to return to action when possible. In order to facilitate the end of the season, the league is considering broadcasting every one of the remaining 92 games left on television, and playing them at neutral grounds.
No chance, surely? Unai Emery may be under pressure, and Pochettino may be an upgrade, but it is difficult to see the Argentine crossing that north London battle line. Manchester United remains a good bet, but their results are as difficult to predict as the views of their hierarchy, who have kept faith with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer despite there being no improvement from predecessor Jose Mourinho’s time at the club.
Their most recent victory made it seven league wins on the bounce for Leicester, including their record-equalling 9-0 demolition of Southampton in October. Away from home they have failed to win three of their seven games, but it’s important to remember that these failures came against Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool. Leicester have won all four of their away days against teams outside the current top six.
At the 32nd round of the Spanish national championship, at the Wanda Metropolitano, Atletico Madrid players will welcome Deportivo Alaves. The current form of the home team is very high, while the guests are constantly losing in recent rounds. The 1-0 victory over the Levante players also at home last weekend was the third consecutive victory of teachers and coaches Diego Simeone. It is also the 9th round in a row unbeaten of the home team. Over 31 rounds, the home team got 55 points after 14 victories, 13 draws and 4 losses, ranking 3rd in the table. Just having to face Alaves in the next round, the chances of getting the 3 points of the home team will be huge as the last 8 confrontations they have won 5 victories and have never lost to the opponent.
The Gunners have kept just one clean sheet in their last 16 matches. Jefferson Lerma has picked up 20 bookings since he came to the Premier League - more than anyone else in that timespan. Bournemouth are winless in five Boxing Day games in the top flight. The Cherries have only one win in 11 games versus Arsenal.
If he [Wood] flails his arms and goes flying across the floor, I bet he gives it. Dyche added: "We are in dangerous territory here because if a player doesn't dramatically play act for a penalty, he doesn't get it. Chris did the right thing and stayed on his feet. The Clarets took a deserved first-half lead when Wood tapped home the rebound after Hugo Lloris had spilled Jay Rodriguez's long-range shot.
Even if we suspect that the coronavirus cannot, in fact, be kicked into submission. Even by a lion. RETRO CORNER On this day in 1924, Joe Gaetjens was born in Haiti. USA, he scored the only goal in one of the World Cup’s greatest shocks, as America’s amateurs toppled the mighty England 1-0 at the 1950 World Cup.
As the holders, Liverpool would’ve been hoping to breeze through the groups, especially as they only just scraped through last season. Unfortunately, they’ve done no such thing. Thanks to a few lacklustre efforts, Jurgen Klopp’s men come into match-day six needing a point, which on the face of it, seems highly likely, but they’re away against a strong side, so a point isn’t guaranteed.

The final Champions League spot is only six points away from the Eagles so what would be the shock of the campaign is still possible. Neither club has a cushy run-in (with both set to face at least three of the teams currently in the Champions League places) and each will look at this fixture as one they can win.
BATE Borisov have won their last six league games. BATE Borisov have 11 points more than their opponents. Vitebsk have only won one of their five home league fixtures this season.

More Roma goals seem likely, with the hosts averaging 2.2 goals per game here this term. However, they’ve also seen both teams score in 75% of their home games. Given that Torino come into this one having scored seven times in their last four matches, we see them threatening the hosts in this clash. Torino have scored in 11 of their last 14 away trips, while 59% of their total Serie A goals this term have come on the road.
Having previously owned National League North side Southport, Hodgkinson has experience of the hand-to-mouth existence of many lower-league clubs. If we don't come to an agreement there will be no football pyramid. There are clubs I know of that are only still trading because they are deferring wages and [tax] and other creditors. They will need paying at some point," Hodgkinson said. There is an absolutely real, stark probability that if something isn't agreed now within football to ensure all clubs can pay their bills and get through to the point where income is resumed, you will be looking at 50 or 60 clubs ceasing to exist.
He is one of those rare players who appears to score the difficult ones and misses the sitters. On Thursday night he missed from five yards. There is no excuse for an elite-level player to miss that. Bundesliga by every measure the best league The Bundesliga is not generally awash with generous benefactors (they're never generous, by the way, they always have ulterior motives) and it is the most balanced and competitive league in Europe, despite Bayern's relative supremacy domestically.

Of course the start was the worst possible one and you might start to think, 'He we go again' especially after they had a chance just after (the opening goal) which David (de Gea) shoud have let go because it was two yards offside. How he didn't see that, the linesman, I dont know. And if they'd scored on that corner after I would have been on the pitch.
Hello everyone from this perfect game. I want to give you prediction about this very interesting game from Italy Seria A between two teams from Milano and they are Milan and Inter. Inter have good position to attack the title this year and they have three points less from Juventus. That's they must to take this game but Milan now is not like before and they have five wins last games. Milan the same need points because they are not good position and if they want to play this year in Europe they need points. That's why I think here this two teams will take a draw.
MATE WHAT THE F*** WAS THAT DRIVING??? YOU’VE DINGED MY MOTOR AND THAT WORK ISN’T GOING TO BE CHEAP. GIVE ME YOUR INSUR…. Ah wow, loved that goal you scored against Leverkusen that time. Can I get a pic?” IN THE CHANNELS Viasport have landed an exclusive interview with Erling Haaland, who seemed keen to address those suggestions that he and his camp were “greedy” in their negotiations with Manchester United.
Diogo Jota scored a hat-trick for the second consecutive game in the competition, and Ruben Neves found the net with a long-range volley in a dominant first-leg performance at Molineux Stadium. Nuno's Wolves are now fifth favourites with the bookmakers to win the Europa League. When asked if fans are right to believe the club could go all the way, Nuno said: "They know me, now we have to recover, rest because we play on Sunday.
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.
It was not disclosed whether Jans had directed his comments toward a player, a group of players or in another context. Multiple reports said the word was part of the lyrics to a song Jans was singing in the team's locker room. Racial and cultural diversity is a major part of what makes the game of soccer so special, and we place the highest priority on respecting every person involved in our game," said Berding.
But it was Welsh's 61st-minute free-kick that took the Highlanders through. Twenty years on from their historic cup win away to Celtic, John Robertson's team now go in to Sunday's quarter-final draw, which takes place after the Clyde-Celtic match. Reaction & as it happenedHosts master conditionsIn blustery, wet conditions, the first chance fell to the visitors but Steve Lawson pulled his shot wide from the edge of the area.
Manchester United started the season poorly but seem to have turned the bend. They have managed to string up a five match unbeaten run and meeting the weakest side in the league is sure to boost their confidence. The last five matches must have built United’s resolve and wins over Manchester City and Tottenham are testament to their capability. While they have scoring a plenty, Watford have been conceding a lot and Watford’s form at home should work for United. In the last 10 matches, United have scored twice or more in eight, on the flipside, Watford have conceded two or more goals in six of their last eight. Watford have also failed to score in six of their last 10 matches and scored in just one of the last five league matches at home. Based on this, Manchester United are outright favorites, and we are backing them for a 2-0 win.
Gael Monfils can make it two titles in as many weeks. After his success in France last week, he can win in Rotterdam but again hasn't had to beat any top seeds. He takes on Felix Auger-Aliassime who has had a good week but like his opponent been facing unseeded players. Monfils has the experience to win this match.

There was no way back, especially after Wolfsburg scored a fourth seven minutes later. The loss has hit their hopes of qualifying for the Chanpions League as they slipped down to fifth place. They are level on points with Borussia Monchengladbach, who are now in fourth and will want to get back into winning ways this weekend.
And given his penchant for scoring goals, it has led to invariable comparisons with Frank Lampard, Chelsea's record goalscorer. He is a player who scores lots of goals and in terms of his attributes he is very good from 25 yards out," added Delgado. He finds space better with a classic number six working next to him and is more of a Lampard than say Paul Scholes type of player. He plays in the same box-to box position, I would not say he is as physically as strong as Lampard was but Fernandes will be ready to play immediately.
