FIFA will try to ensure, where possible, an overall level of co-ordination and will also bear in mind the need to protect the regularity, integrity and proper functioning of competitions, so that the sporting results of any competition are not unfairly disrupted," it said. On the issue of pay cuts for players and coaches -- a major controversy in England, Italy and Portugal -- FIFA said the parties had to find "fair and equitable solutions" with a view to protecting jobs and achieving "a reasonable balance of interests between players and clubs.
The new exam done on coach Jorge Jesus has come back negative for COVID-19," the Rio de Janeiro club said in a statement. Jesus posted an Instagram message on Tuesday declaring he had tested positive for the virus. The club said at the time the result was “weak positive or inconclusive” and a second test was required.
World-class performers in every area of the pitch under the management of Jurgen Klopp. No-one to touch them in the league. Pre-season prediction: 2ndWhat I said in August: "This season the Premier League will be firmly in the sights of manager Jurgen Klopp and his players. Manchester City - 2ndGlorious on the eye and had a world-class performer in Kevin de Bruyne but paid for not replacing Vincent Kompany as obvious defensive frailties hurt them.
At the club they are optimistic that they can get him. Football will dictate if a new manager is needed and that might mean forgetting old foes and trying to approach Xavi again. Victor Font, a candidate to be club president in the upcoming elections in 2021, has made no secret of the fact the first thing he would do if elected is install Xavi as coach, whoever happens to be in charge at the time. Xavi would almost certainly prefer to take the job with him at the helm, but football being football, never say never.
And now that they're not in Italy, they feel maybe relief they can play in this game. We have to be ready for that," Klopp told reporters. Napoli gave us a proper fight at Anfield last season (in a 1-0 win). We expect them to be strong. Whatever has happened, I don't have a real idea. But if I was a player, I'd be trying to bring the group together and fight the things from outside.
The surest path to victory is by playing well, it's important to remember that," Setien added. I have very clear ideas, I listen to everyone but it's difficult to convince me to change my ways. I am my team's biggest defender and I'll die with my ideas. Setien got his first top-flight job with Las Palmas in 2015 but rose to prominence in a two-year spell with Real Betis which included masterminding a 4-3 victory away to Barca.
Arsenal surprised champions Liverpool to further their own Europa League ambitions, although they remain behind Tottenham after their north London rivals won 3-1 at Newcastle. Aston Villa's bid for survival was knocked by a 1-1 draw at Everton but relegation rivals Bournemouth lost at Manchester City. Wolves were pegged back in the 96th minute by Burnley and Southampton also shared the spoils with Brighton.
And in July they brought Giovanni Reyna, son of former Manchester City and USA midfielder Claudio, over from the United States. He made his senior debut in January despite only celebrating his 17th birthday in November. We developed them to become superstars'Dortmund's philosophy emerged from the financial crisis that brought the club to its knees in 2004, seven years after Ricken scored on the greatest night in the club's history, as they won the European Cup for the first - and so far, only - time.
Ondrej Duda replaces Teemu Pukki. Goal!Posted at 79' Goal! Norwich City 0, Southampton 3. Nathan Redmond (Southampton) left footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner. Assisted by Michael Obafemi. Posted at 77' Attempt missed. Ryan Bertrand (Southampton) left footed shot from outside the box is high and wide to the left following a corner.
Watford come into this game in better form, but, as the old adage goes, form goes out the window in the FA Cup. While Pearson would like to advance, he won't play a team that he needs for Premier League survival. This will give Tranmere an opportunity to upset and we believe that they have a solid chance of taking that chance. We recommend a double chance bet on the League One outfit.
Reaction from Goodison Park plus Wolves' win at TottenhamHenderson's relish as keepers struggle David de Gea has made seven errors leading directly to an opposition goal in the Premier League since the start of last seasonCalvert-Lewin's goal was his eighth in 10 Premier League games, but few have been as easy or fortunate as the game's opener after only three minutes. De Gea had plenty of time to clear following Harry Maguire's careful backpass, but he dithered and the Everton forward's willingness to press from the front would have impressed the watching England manager Gareth Southgate, who will pick his squad to play Italy and Denmark later this month.

London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea go head to head on Sunday looking to boost their European ambitions. But who has got the better players?We want to know who you would pick in a combined XI. Tammy Abraham or Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang? Kepa Arrizabalaga or Bernd Leno? Jorginho or Matteo Guendouzi? There are likely to be plenty of changes since we asked you this in January 2019 - with the departure of Eden Hazard and several new English youngsters in the Chelsea team.
Pogba sets up coronavirus fundraiser and pledges financial support"I count on the generosity of my colleagues, of all professional athletes and of those who want to make a small or large donation according to their possibilities, to kick this virus away. Together we can really help hospitals and doctors and nurses who selflessly work every day to save our lives. Because today we are the ones cheering for them!"Let's together kick the coronavirus away and win this match!"An hour after Ibrahimovic's post, the fund had raised 109,652 euros (£100,999).
We’re confident that both teams will score in Sunday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Both teams have drawn the majority of their last six matches in all competitions and on each occasion those stalemates have ended 1-1. Neither side have kept many clean sheets on late, just one in the pairs lat twelve matches combined, but both teams are unbeaten in their last three matches in all competitions and should prove difficult to beat this weekend.

Fulham’s home record should worry Derby, who come here with a poor record behind them. While the Rams are flying at home, they’re coming off three straight defeats on the road. Derby have won none of their last seven trips in the Championship, while their defensive record on their travels is woeful. Having conceded twice in six of their last eight on the road, Derby are too open at the back.
We have to be in Baku five days before so… it's about preparing physically and mentally, working on things in training. You don't often get that time but it's a time to work on certain things. Media playback is not supported on this device Goal Highlights: Arjen Robben nets winner as Dutch beat WalesAfter playing the Swiss, Wales will also face Turkey and Italy at Euro 2020 while Ronald Koeman's Netherlands have also qualified.
At the minute, I have not got a clue what I am going to turn up and see - I probably couldn't name four players that I know for a fact are going to start in the team. Jose is always chopping and changing. I know he has the injury situation at the top end of the pitch but he just can't - or won't - pick players and rely on them. The system he won't stick with. How he is behaving now is a little bit how Mauricio Pochettino was behaving at the end of his tenure as Tottenham manager, where he was trying everything to get it right.
All things considered, backing a Nice win has to be the way to play here and is something we're happy to do with maximum confidence. Toulouse just cannot find a way to plug their porous defence and taking into account the average rate at which they've conceded in recent months, in addition to Nice's attacking prowess as hosts, we believe a 2-0 home win could well be on the cards.
Scottish football should not expect to hold matches in front of fans "any time soon", says Nicola Sturgeon. Scotland's First Minister said at her daily briefing she could not put a timescale on when the sport might resume. No games have been played in Scotland since 13 March and the SPFL have since ended the lower-league seasons. Ms Sturgeon also said the idea of playing behind closed doors needed to be "very carefully considered".
Southampton said that players, coaches and the board of directors deferring their salary will "help protect the future of the club, the staff that work within it and the community we serve". Over the past few weeks, there has been considerable pressure on Premier League players, including from leading politicians, to take pay cuts. But Ward-Prowse, who has two England caps, said: "It was never about doing it quickly or facing any pressure, it was about making sure we made the right decision for the people and the community and we definitely have done that.
Basaksehir manage to qualify after a dramatic game against Sporting. They manage to overcome the deficit of two goals and push the game in extra time. The 3-1 goal was scored by Visca in the last minutes and they scored again in extra time. At home Basaksehir is a strong team with a great crowd support. Copenhaga had a bit of luck in the away game against Celtic and manage to win with 1-3 after some big mistakes in defense of Celtic. I think that the home team has enough power the win this match and take the first option for qualification.
We needed to sit back a little bit to wait for the opportunity. We did a good job, I think, for the fans and with the result we’re very happy for the boys. The game at Johor's recently-opened Sultan Ibrahim Stadium was the only one played in the Asian Champions League on Tuesday after matches across the continent were postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.
The home side will take down the away side with more goals in this game. The home side has a good winning streak in their previous matches they played. With not taking many losses, they playing at home gives them more comfort to take down their opponent, the away side. There will be more than 2.5 goals in this match with the home side scoring most of the goals in this match. The away side will also do their best to score to make the game level up thereby creating an opportunity for the home side to be able to score more goals.
It looks to me that FC Lorient will most probably have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals. In contrast, Le Mans FC are also probably going to find it difficult to get shooting opportunities but I do think that it’s more than likely that they will be hitting back at some stage. Therefore, I am anticipating a pretty comfortable 3-1 victory for FC Lorient by the time that the referee blows the final whistle
This fixture features no. 17 vs no. 14 in the league, Aston villa vs Newcastle United. The hosts coming from a 2 - 1 loss yo Wolverhampton wanderers ( no. 6 in the league) and their last home game a 1 - 2 loss to Liverpool FC. The visitors coming from a 2 - 1 win over AFC Bournemouth ( no. 11 in the league ) and their last away game a 2 - 3 win over West Ham united. The hosts should win this game as their last 2 games where to team higher than the visitors but scored one goal and conceded multiple goals to lose both matches facing a team coming from winning their last 2 matches to teams above the visitors means they too will seek goals and want a win so an over 2.5 is best to tip here.
Lyon is fighting alongside Benfica for the 1st place in this group stage as it would make them skip a round in the next stage if they manage to take it. They won their opening 3 games including a very easy 4-2 win at home against Zenit U19 on opening group game, they won both away games at Leipzig and Benfica with 3-1 and 2-1, this while Zenit has just one point and is already eliminated.
I do not understand why the club from Germany, Wolfsburg is such a big favorite to win this match. They do not play good football, all they do is defend and counter attack. On the other side, Shakhtar Donetsk is a team that competed in the Champions League, got very good results vs Manchester City and Atlanta. If they can play on a same level with such teams, than they can play even better vs teams like Wolfsburg. I will take risk and bet on Shakhtar Donetsk A +1 . I think they are better team and can win this match.
I will analyze the meeting of the championship of Turkmenistan, the two leaders of the championship will meet, Akhal vs Asyr, here you can see the prognosis is a draw, both teams are scored but the bookmakers make it clear that both Akhal and Asyr will be happy with a draw, the main thing is that everyone will have their own, Asyr played this season four away matches, two of them Asyr played in a draw, Akhal looks confident at home and while the team has not lost points on the home field, Akhal will also not believe in losing, but where there will be a misfire, especially since the day comes for a visit reigning champion, I predict a draw.
While their Championship hosts have endured a tough time of late, The Shrews have done OK. In typical Shrewsbury fashion they've not set the world alight but continue to be tough to beat, losing just one of their last five, and even then, they only lost narrowly against one of the best teams in the division.
