Managua is probably the most powerful team in the Nicaraguan league this season because they performed well during the regular season ranking first in the standings, however Walter Ferretti finished the regular season with four consecutive victories Managua needs to win this game.

England international Jill Scott says the potential postponement of the 2021 European Championship is "probably a little bit worrying for the older players" but is "an exciting opportunity" for women's football. Scott, 33, is hoping to appear in her fourth Euros and joked she would "have to try and hold on for another year". The tournament is set to be moved to the summer of 2022. It was originally scheduled to take place between 7 July and 1 August 2021.
The relative decline of Arsenal is a direct result of not participating in the competition for a second consecutive season, a fate that may also befall Manchester United. Spurs rule LondonThe Premier League makes the biggest contribution to the top 20 of the Money League, with eight teams featured. Tottenham achieved its highest-ever position of eighth by increasing revenue 21% to £459.
Bayer Leverkusen have lost just one of their last 10 Bundesliga home games. Although they haven't been in the best of form at home this season, currently sitting in ninth place in the Bundesliga's home form table, they have been tough to beat despite only earning two wins from their seven Bundesliga home games this season.
Middlesbrough is in Jonathan Woodgate's heart and soul. It is his hometown, the club he supported as a boy and where he wore the red shirt for 112 of his career appearances. So, when he was appointed head coach of the Championship club little more than a year ago, it seemed the perfect fit. Yet, the journey is already over, following chairman Steve Gibson's decision to replace the 40-year-old with veteran boss Neil Warnock, as the Teessiders' battle against relegation for the final eight games of the season.
It's not down to ability, it's in the brain. Mentally can they handle it?" Lisbon Lions captain Billy McNeill is commemorated in a statue outside Celtic ParkHow do the current players view it?As soon as Celtic were crowned champions of last season's curtailed Premiership in May, manager Neil Lennon's thoughts turned towards the next campaign. Its significance is clear to the former captain, who was in charge for the first three titles of Celtic's current streak and has delivered the last two since returning to replace Brendan Rodgers.

Burnley have already found out the hard way how playing in the Europa League can disrupt your domestic campaign, when they made such a poor start to the Premier League in 2018-19. Given their squad size and wage structure, I think it could have the same effect on the Blades if they were in Europe - although I would understand why they would welcome that problem. Lawro's prediction: 2-1Simon's prediction: Both of these teams are tough to beat but I am going with Burnley at Turf Moor - even though it will be empty of course.
Inter were also without goalkeeper and captain Samir Handanovic so they gave a rare outing to Daniele Padelli. Udinese created enough chances to have had a first-half lead. Seko Fofana fired into the side netting while Ashley Young did well to block Jens Stryger-Larsen’s shot and Rodrigo De Paul had a chance in first-half stoppage time but shot straight at defender Alessandro Bastoni.
Circumstances are unprecedented, but we hope to start playing again in June and finish our season this summer,” he said. Real Madrid, second to Barcelona, with 11 rounds of games remaining, plan to restart individual training on Monday and their captain, Sergio Ramos, says he "can't wait to get playing and competing. I think it is time for those of us who are involved in football to take a step forward,” added Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic.
It is different. Being here, you can see how close everyone is, the staff with the players. Even the groundsman and security give you big hugs when you come in. Sometimes in England, I don't think you have that. For the players who are not playing, you don't see anyone disappointed here. In England, sometimes if a player is not playing, they can be angry - everyone wants to get picked - but here, it just shows how good the man-management is as everyone is laughing and joking and you don't see anyone disappointed.
The substitute curled the ball brilliantly into the top corner to bring the Madrid minnows, 18th, level on points with Real Mallorca, one place above them. I knew it would be dangerous but it came off in the best way, it was like the ending of a film," said Leganes coach Aguirre, pun most likely unintended.

Leicester need to get back in winning form and travel to West Ham and Newcastle in the next few days. Their title challenge looks over, it's now a battle for second place or failing that, ensuring they get into the Champions League. Their away form is good unless up against top sides. West Ham are in poor form and a managerial change could well be on the way. Their home form is terrible and far too many goals are being conceded. This looks ideal for Leicester to get an away win.

The industry has changed a lot since I first started, there are more female sports broadcasters, and playing competitive sport is a more sustainable career pathway for women. Seeing women in these positions is important, because it makes it normal. But diversity shouldn't be a box-ticking exercise, which I know for so many it still is. A fixation with numbers and percentages of women in the industry has now taken over as the measurement of success, but what about supporting progression and elevating women once they are in these positions, rather than giving them a hard time for being there.

But the virus has sparked a financial crisis for the DFB, president Fritz Keller told a news conference with 20 invited reporters connected remotely, with 250,000 jobs under threat. At the moment there are few solutions. The only way is to persevere and to get through this safely together," Keller said.
He added: "The majority of the time, we face teams set up like this. We want to be dominant, but we have to protect ourselves against this situation. Attacking football only works if you use the full width of the pitch in the attacking half and that makes it dangerous when you lose the ball. This game is asking us for perfection. You lose the ball in the wrong moment and the train starts going. We respect them totally.
Dani Carvajal sent Real Madrid to the top of La Liga with an untidy winner in a 2-1 away victory over Alaves in testing conditions. Zinedine Zidane handed Gareth Bale his first start since the controversy surrounding the flag displayed while on international duty with Wales, with Alphonse Areola and Eder Militao also coming into the Real Madrid lineup.
Winning the FA Cup the season before gave us confidence as a team to go on and claim that title win. If someone wrote a film and put that ending in, you'd walk out and say 'nonsense, that would never happen'. That was incredible. To win the league like that will be remembered for a long, long time. We'd have played better if we hadn't scored early'Milner won his first major honour at Liverpool last season when he helped Klopp's side beat Tottenham 2-0 in the Champions League final after Mohamed Salah's second-minute penalty set them on their way.
West Ham is in poor form despite pulling out a great result away at Chelsea recently where they even won the game with 1-0 in the end but Chelsea has been poor this season in home games just 4-2-4 record for them at home, so not that big of a surprise in my eyes, but West Ham is not really playing at their own stadium but at the Olympic Stadium in London, and here they lost 4 games in a row right now.

I believe that we will see surely at least four goals in this match from Belorusian Reserve league and that is pretty clear and very real to expect, but we will see what will happen. Slutsk was just brilliant in last period with goals and this team is in last four matches in a row, played every time duels with even four or more goals. In that period, it was 4-2, 3-3, 4-0 and 5-1. Rival is playing on same level, so over is very real option in this duel. Of course, I will try that and I will bet on goals.
Arsenal were ninth in the standings before the coronavirus pandemic suspended the football season in England. The north London club have not qualified for the Champions League since 2015-16 and have lost two finals since Aubameyang's arrival - the League Cup in 2018 and the Europa League last season.
Solskjaer's cause has been helped by what appears to be two particularly smart pieces of recruitment, the lack of which has been the failing at the heart of so many of Manchester United's problems since Ferguson's departure. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, at £45m, looks a superb investment for now and the future. He is another example of England's riches at right-back alongside Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold and Reece James at Chelsea.
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.
It came two days after Sheffield Wednesday’s Paolo di Canio had been sent off for Sheffield Wednesday and shoved over referee Paul Alcock. Wright pretended to show Ruddock a red card and the defender shoved him over, with Wright even mimicking Alcock’s fall. Funnily enough Di Canio joined West Ham three months later. Fowler sniffs the lineOne of the more controversial celebrations on this list. Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler had been getting abuse from Everton fans - unfounded taunts of taking drugs - during the Merseyside derby in April 1999.
That's not the type of sermon that Daniel Levy pays Mourinho to give yet that hasn't stopped the manager before. Without a handful of key players, Spurs have been on a rotten run of form in all competitions. They have lost their last four matches in all competitions (counting the FA Cup shoot-out defeat).
Novak Djokovic has been in dominant form during this tournament. He faces one of his greatest rivals in this semi-final but one that he has dominated in recent years. Federer has strugglef to get to the last four and that might have taken something out of him fitness wise. Go for Djokovic to win this match in straight sets.
He was at his peak at 26, figuring in a side with a more ruthless edge under manager Bill Nicholson and alongside players of the calibre of Pat Jennings, Mike England, Mullery, Martin Chivers, Steve Perryman and Alan Gilzean. Peters was able to add his elegant flourishes and natural eye for a goal to these talents and he went on to further success at White Hart Lane. He scored on his debut in a 2-1 win against Coventry City and finally won domestic honours when Spurs beat Aston Villa 2-0 in the 1971 League Cup final at Wembley.

But the Italian football federation (FIGC) has now set a precedent by accepting Serie A might not finish as planned and suggesting a playoff system might be used instead to determine the champions and relegated teams once games can go ahead again. As more governments impose travel restrictions and it becomes more and more difficult to organise games, other competition organisers may also see that as a solution.
While the Rossoneri saw the benefits of a lesser schedule, they seem worse off for the lack of action. New manager Stefano Pioli isn’t getting much time on the pitch to turn their form around, while they are fading from view with other sides getting a platform from European clashes. Combine that with their midtable position and there’s little to this Milan side other than their name.
Nottingham Forest have five straight losses in the FA Cup away from home. Chelsea have failed to score in just one of their last 47 home matches in FA Cup. Nottingham Forest have conceded two or more in six of their last eight FA Cup away matches. Chelsea have 12 wins in their last 14 FA Cup matches at home.
Only one team can qualify from each of the four groups in the Taca da Liga and even with a weakened starting eleven, you would fancy Porto to do enough to ensure they progressed through to the knockout stage. Chaves have only lost twice at home this season and ar eyet to suffer defeat in Group D while Porto have only lost once on the road in the league and also have a 100% record in the Taca da Liga this season.

Chinandega will face Esteli at home on match day sixteen of the league. Chinandega have won four of their seven games and only lost two by a goal margin against diriangen and monagua. They will face Esteli who are currently facing deep in form after failing to win in their last three games. On the road Esteli have won once of their last six away games.
I wanted a fresh challenge. What that league brings is travel, heat, humidity, elevation - it's going to be so far away from what I've experienced. I'm the most 'English player' I think there is. I love to play in the rain, wet. I'd take wind over sun. But at key tournaments, weather is one of those things that zaps your energy, and it'll be quite nice to test myself in probably the worst place for heat and humidity going.
At one point, as he munificently accepted more applause for his very existence, Stam turned to Johnsen. I’m going to hit the arrogant w****r if he carries on,” he said. Before Johnsen could respond, Stam heard somebody else shout, “You’d have to get in line. He didn’t specify whether the comment came from a United or Bayern player.
Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup third round draw highlights Then there was the time when I was at Aston Villa and we were held to a draw by League Two side Wycombe in 2016. That was one of the low points of a very difficult season at Villa, but by then our supporters had just lost belief in us. There were certain fans just coming to the games so they could have a go at us because they did not think we were trying, which was not the case.
Former winners Coventry City, who have fallen on hard times, beat Bristol Rovers 3-0 in their replay to set up a 'home' tie with Birmingham City at Birmingham's St Andrews ground where they are currently tenants. Second tier Reading won 2-0 at Blackpool, whilst Tranmere Rovers' replay at home to top-flight Watford was postponed after heavy rain left the pitch waterlogged.
I remember Ray Parlour telling me, 'You could go on and win a record' and you never believe it or take anything for granted but it came true in the end. Whether he operated in the centre with Patrick Vieira, or giving energy on the right side, Ray was a big part of it (Arsenal's success). Not just on the field but a great character off it, keeping people on their toes. But that team had every ingredient you want to fight for titles and win competitions.
Holstein Kiel games guaranteed the both teams to score, the matches finished btts 11x out of their last 12 clashes. Nurnberg won 6-0 2 weeks ago at away, but lost by 6 goals vs Stuttgart at home ground. The high score is the biggest value in this match.
What are Premier League clubs doing on pay?Liverpool had become the fifth Premier League team to furlough non-playing staff with the season suspended indefinitely because of the coronavirus pandemic. Staff affected were to receive 80% of their salary through the scheme and the club would make up the difference, despite making a profit of more than £40m last year. The decision was criticised by former Liverpool players Jamie Carragher and Stan Collymore.
Shakhtyor's grip on the Belarus Cup is slipping and they have to score at least twice in this game. Anything less will see Dinamo Brest make their way into another cup final. The visitors have a healthy 2-0 lead from the first leg and probably won't be that adventurous on Wednesday. Just keep it nice and tight and a place in the final will be achieved. Go for under 2.5 goals in this game from two teams that are struggling to score one a game in the Premier League.
Victory would see Liverpool extend their lead at the top to 11 points over Leicester, who host Norwich at 3pm on Saturday, Three points would also take Liverpool a staggering 17 points above third-placed Manchester City, with the defending champions heading to Arsenal on Sunday. There are no guarantees in the Premier League, but Liverpool will be heavy favourites to dispatch Watford, while City will know they are coming up against an Arsenal side desperate to climb back up the table.
