Garbine Muguruza has won two Grand Slams so knows how to cope with the pressure of a big match. Her form was disappointing last year but she has shown some good signs of a major revival here. The last round saw her beat the fifth seed with only three games lost. Now she takes on ninth seeded Kiki Bertens who has had a smooth journey to the last sixteen. The Brisbane tourament wasn't too easy for her and she'll probably have to up her game here. Go for Garbine Muguruza to get the win here.

Back-to-back defeats by Southampton and Burnley had cast some doubt over their top-four credentials but goals by Harvey Barnes and Ricardo Pereira before halftime put them in control. The only surprise was it took Brendan Rodgers's side 24 minutes to go ahead, with Barnes applying the finishing touch after combining well with Ricardo.
Match preview Aston Villa v Manchester City (Carabao Cup final, 16:30 GMT)Aston Villa got blasted by their manager Dean Smith last week. I don't know if some of their players had one eye on this game, but they were very poor in their defeat by Southampton. I would expect a much-improved performance from Villa at Wembley, but I still think City will end up as convincing winners. Pep Guardiola's side won 6-1 at Villa Park in January and the way they move the ball around will make things very difficult for Villa, who are quite open defensively.

The UK government has described the virus as a "serious and imminent threat" to public health. The video posted by Alli showed him wearing a face mask in an airport lounge, before moving the camera to show a man of Asian appearance, and then zooming in on a bottle of antiseptic hand wash.

Bale was jeered by supporters when his name was announced before kick-off on Saturday. The 30-year-old received a similar response when introduced from the bench after 67 minutes for his first Real appearance since 5 October, though by full-time Bale appeared to have earned back some support. He was applauded for the part he played in Modric's third goal and also for his defensive efforts as Real closed out the game.

He added: “Right now, we need to complete all the discussions to ensure that if we do reach that stage, we’ll do so in the utmost safety and security. We are passionate about sport and don’t want our athletes to get sick. I'm passionate for football. Like many Italians, I initially found it strange that the championship could be interrupted or suspended but I think that even the most ardent fan understands that there wasn't an alternative.
So keep the best players is obviously part of that plan. Paper Round’s view: Mourinho would likely be devastated if he had to lose perhaps the best striker of his kind in the world. Even receiving £150 million for Kane would offer no guarantee that a decent replacement could be secured, and the striker is invaluable for being able to lead by example, and because of his relentless supply of goals in all kinds of games.
Cucurella released a statement on Twitter in response to reports he had used the word "mico", Spanish for monkey, during an altercation with the Brazilian defender, saying he had used the word "pico", Spanish slang for mouth. The Spaniard, 21, wrote: "I would like clarify that at no point did I insult or belittle Militao.

The Gunners have now gone six games without a win at Emirates Stadium, their longest run without a home victory since 1995. Arsenal are seven points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, after five victories in 17 matches this season. Former midfielder Arteta, who made 150 appearances for the Gunners between 2011 and 2016 and captained the side, was linked with replacing Arsene Wenger at the Emirates in 2018 before the club appointed Emery.
Both Spurs and Southampton have struggled a bit in the past few matches but we believe Spurs will be more confident going to this clash after their win over Manchester City. One factor about this game is the plenty of goals the two sides have been scoring. With the rise Southampton have had lately, disregarding the 4-0 loss to Liverpool, we expect them to push Spurs but with the hosts holding home advantage and straight from a crucial win, we expect the home side to win this. We believe we will see quite some goals here, judging by the returns in attack these sides have had. We will thus go for over 2.5 goals.
Everton, however, would be a significant step down and it would not be surprising to see him take a different tack and opt for a money-spinning move to China or a similar league. As for James, it has never quite worked out for him in Spain but he proved during his loan spell at Bayern Munich that he is a player of quality.
Liaoning have dropped down to China's second tier and now stand on the cusp of closure as financial issues start to affect the game outside the Chinese Super League, the top flight of the country's professional pyramid. Headline-grabbing transfer fees and mammoth salaries have lured some of the sport's biggest names to China in recent seasons, even as authorities have sought to curb extravagance.

It wasn't all us, but the only thing missing was a better quality finish at the end. Brentford head coach Thomas Frank told BBC Radio London his side came to take on the league leaders looking to "go for the win". I am so proud of the boys, coming here with a big personality, wanting to dominate the game on our terms," added. That frustrated West Brom and I think for 43 minutes they didn't have a shot on target.
The player left out - Former Liverpool full-back Stephen Warnock Around 750,000 people turned out to see Liverpool parade the Champions League trophy around the city in 2005, but not all of their players made the busWhen I hear it described as being one of Liverpool's greatest ever nights, it leaves a very sour taste. It still hurts now, actually - the way it was handled was absolutely shocking. I was in the original squad when the team sheet up was put up at the training ground a few days before the game, and I was absolutely ecstatic.
The Argentine influence is not new but has gathered strength in recent years as the domestic game in Argentina declined. Mohamed is a classic example of someone who came as a player and built a career in Mexico. After catching the eye as a teenager at Huracan, he was signed by Fiorentina but never made the grade in Italy and left in 1996 to join Toros Neza, a little-known team from one of Mexico City's biggest and most working-class suburbs.
I said I probably regretted the way the message [came over]. By praising others for certain attributes, there was criticism for Chris. It was my fault and it was unfair on him. I think he's done well in Italy. We're watching everybody because we've got to make sure we make the right decision. I spoke to him when I left him out the squad and explained what I explained to everybody.
It added that no other matches were in immediate danger of being postponed.

To come back so late in that game tells you all about the belief they have got. Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: Burnley 1-1 Wolves For me, the story of the Clarets' season is almost as good as Sheffield United's has been, and they are built on similar foundations. What's different about the Blades under Chris Wilder, of course, is that this is their first year back in the Premier League, but Burnley boss Sean Dyche deserves lots of credit for doing it time and time again.
AIK face Norrkoping at Friends Arena and it is expected to be one of the most exciting matches of this day. AIK breakthrough in the new season with a 2-0 win over Orebro where their new signing Jasir Asani found the back of the net. He will be full of confidence ahead of the match against Norrkoping.

My words were 'Shut your mouth'. I wish to apologise if anyone felt offended by that. These are the only declarations I have made or will make on this matter. Militao, who joined Real from Porto last year for a reported 40 million euros, did not make any comment on the incident. Real declined to comment.
However it is looking as if time may nearly be up for the Argentinian in the Spanish capital. The side appear to have forgotten how to score goals and another meek display at home against second-bottom Leganes means Atleti have now drawn nine of their 21 La Liga matches this season, slipping out of the top four behind Sevilla and Getafe.
Originally scheduled for 26 March, it was this week postponed "until further notice" because of the coronavirus pandemic, having earlier been pushed back to June. Uefa's announcement on the further postponement of the play-offs encouraged the FAI to revise its plan to have Kenny succeed McCarthy after Euro 2020. Difficult situation for the association'Gary Owens, the FAI interim chief executive, said: "This has been a difficult situation for the association - and for Mick and Stephen in particular - in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and the effect it has had on the football calendar.
Wolfsburg not only achieved an important victory by 1-0 in Bremen, they also remained without conceding in few matches. With 6th place, the team is on an EL spot with 2 points ahead of Hoffenheim. Freiburg is in eighth has 4 points less and could also play for the EL places. Most recently the SC won again after a 0-2-2 series against Gladbach. It should a tight affair. In the first game of the season between the two, the winner was Freiburg and today as a visitor they have a chance to add, I see a close game and they are one of the teams that have tied the most this season.
The hosts are on the final Europa League place at this moment, that means 3rd place, but there is a problem, that is the fact that they are equal on points with 4th placed Puskas Academy and need to keep on winning games, they did win last round with 2-1 at home against 2nd placed MOL Fehervar but lately they have not been really able to keep a clean sheet in their games.
But at the end of the day football is defined by results. We wish that you succeed in turning the corner. For that you have all the support we can offer. Title hopefuls Dortmund are sixth on 20 points, five off the top. TIGHT RACE Borussia Moenchengladbach's shock loss at promoted Union Berlin was just their second in their last nine matches but it cut their lead at the top to just one point.
But rather than try slide the ball past the onrushing Davies, the midfielder attempted to find Grabban with a pass in the box, allowing Bruno Martins Indi to backtrack and clear. Grabban had an effort deflected onto the roof of the net and Yates had a shot clear off the line in a tense start to the second-half, but Figueiredo's eventually got the deserved equaliser they desperately needed. After that, however, the Reds' season capitulated as McClean tapped home to put Stoke back in front before Gregory slid in at the far post to make it 3-1.

That was a long time ago, but mud sticks. What joy, then, to hear the happy news that Pellie has, er, changed sex and is getting married. Kinda. On 29 February 29 - leap day - while dressed in Pellie's costume, Dumbarton fan Jen McKee proposed to her slightly stunned boyfriend, Bob Cowie, before kick-off in a game against Raith Rovers. Thankfully, Bob said yes and vowed to make an honest elephant of her.
