Turkey's Trabzonspor have been given a one-season ban from European football over Financial Fair Play breaches. Uefa said the Super Lig leaders had failed to meet an agreement reached in 2016, when the club were found to have breached the rules. The ban will apply if they qualify for Europe next season or in 2021-22, but will not be implemented after that. The FFP rules were introduced in 2011, designed to stop teams spending more money than they generate themselves.
In the 'Correct Score' market, a 1-0 home win appeals. Blackpool have failed to score in each of their last two, both of which they lost by a goal to nil, while they've also been shut out in two of their last four on the road. The hosts have notched exactly once in three of their last four at home.
Western United is among the top teams in the league at this moment and they are in quite fine form after a bit of a slump in form which saw them lose 3 games in a row they now have 2 wins in a row and saw them being really solid last round while they beat Brisbane Roar with 2-0 away from home, and away from home so far this season they have 3 wins and just one loss.
Busan I'Park have suffered a 2:0 defeat by Pohang Steelers in the first round. They were one goal down after 24 minutes as Iljutcenko scored for Pohang. The match was decided in the 72nd minute when Palocevic converted a penalty shot to set the final result. Busan lost, but now they play at home. One player is rated as doubtful - Lee Sang Jun suffered injury against Pohang last week. Jeonbuk Motors started the season with a narrow victory over Suwon Bluewings. Last weekend they won 1:0 thanks to the goal scored by Lee Dong Gook. The guests are big favorites here, but I believe Busan could remain unbeaten thanks to the home advantage.
Kane was injured scoring a goal that was disallowed for offside, the decision confirmed by VAR. Southampton have collected 10 points from 12 in their last four games to climb out of the relegation zone and up to the relative safety of 12th with 25 points. Tottenham remain in sixth place, six points behind Chelsea who occupy fourth spot.
It is anticipated further discussions will take place over the issues, although it could be another two or three weeks before any greater clarity is achieved. However, the EFL, which declined to comment when approached by BBC Sport, is in a tricky position. It has so far aligned itself closely with the Premier League, which is committed to ending the season if it is practical. The letter makes no mention of how complex issues such as promotion and relegation would be decided.

Now people take us seriously. The distances involved has been a blessing in disguise, forcing the squad to make the journey a week in advance to avoid jet lag and prepare for the fixtures on the mainland. We stay in the hotel together, we prepare for a week before the game but it's not easy as it's quite far," Grandin adds. It's not easy to come every two weeks to play but we appreciate the time we spend in France.
Hamburger SV have ended their last year in poor form, but second-placed Hamburg made a good start to new year with a 4-1 win at home to Nurnberg on their last match. In contrast Bochum got most of their points and goals in their home ground. The most notable thing is that, they have managed to score at least two goals in all but one of their home league matches and now they will face the highest goal scorers in the league who scored 4 goals in their last match, so I expect this to be a high scoring affair.

The coach of Real Sociedad's women team has warned that no one can compete with Barcelona after the "humiliation" of a 10-1 Spanish Super Cup final defeat. Gonzalo Arconada has questioned whether Barca's superiority is good for the Spanish women's game. Marta Torrejon scored four, Alexia Putellas and Asisat Oshoala two each and Caroline Hansen one as Sociedad were thrashed in Salamanca. Every team feels we cannot compete with this Barca side," Arconada said.
But the key stat ahead of Saturday's game though is Eibar's away form – Los Armeros have won just one from seven on their travels this season and just three from their last 27 La Liga outings on the road. With such a dismal away record and obvious problems at the back, there's nothing to recommend Eibar this weekend and we're backing Sociedad to return to winning ways.
This list is going to be tough to compile, isn't it?Harry Kane is waiting for his first trophy with Tottenham but he is top of one list - with 10 Premier League goals in north London derbies, he's ahead of the rest and one to watch this weekend. Only Jimmy Greaves and Bobby Smith are ahead of Kane on the all-time Spurs scoring chart. Could he break the record? He's still only 26. Robbie Keane (Tottenham 2002-08, 2009-11) Another forward who had two spells with Spurs, Robbie Keane was prolific worldwide during his fine career.
The Foxes won the Premier League title the next season. Perhaps the most comprehensive comeback at this stage came in 2017-18. Swansea were in 13th place and Crystal Palace were 18th after 29 games - albeit only separated by three points. Palace ended up finishing 11th, 11 points above the relegation zone, as Swansea went down. Those turnarounds would give plenty of hope to Bournemouth and Aston Villa, who are only in the bottom three on goal difference and by two points respectively.

This is one of two matches who will be played today in Bahrain elite league and it will be very very interesting to follow this match. Al Hidd is in this moment better team and they are in last official duel against this rival won 3-1, so I believe that they are favorites and this time. Both rivals are currently playing efficient. Al Shabab Manama is played 1-2, 3-1, 5-0 and 3-1 in last four matches and rival is playing on same level, also in last few weeks. Yes, over is ok here and I will bet on that, it is clear.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk admits he would be "gutted" if the coronavirus crisis prevents fans from watching them win a league title for the first time in 30 years. The Reds lead the Premier League by 25 points but football across the country is suspended until 3 April. The prospect of playing matches without fans has been raised as one of a number of ways to complete the fixture list. No one wants to play games without the fans," said Van Dijk, 28.

Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup: Oxford United 2-3 Newcastle United highlights Now they get the chance to push for promotion once more when during the shutdown, it was uncertain whether the season would resume. Boss Karl Robinson wants to pick up where they left off when they face Portsmouth on Friday, having won five games in a row before the season was halted. We're hoping to try and achieve something that was a distant dream for all of us and that's been a constant message to the players in the few weeks we've been back together," he told BBC Radio Oxford.
I'll be forever thankful to you for helping me achieve my dreams. We've had some amazing moments in the last five-and-a-half years that I will never forget. You were my manager but my friend as well and I thank you for that relationship. Good luck with your next chapter!"Some 89% of Kane's career goals at club level have come under the Argentine (169 out of 190). Kane will want to win major trophies during his career - he has not won any yet - so the temptation to leave could grow with his friend no longer in charge of the club.
With VAR in place, these golden moments may never be the same again, purely because the lingering doubt that the goal could be ruled out will hover over any celebration, no matter how certain it may initially appear. It has been the case in tennis’ closing Grand Slam moments, with players dropping to the ground only to see the final point challenged by their opponent.
We had to wait 13 weeks, it was 13 long weeks with uncertainty but a lot of our fans had to wait 30 years so it was a short time compared to what they've had," Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson said.

City threatened by Premier League investigation There’s plenty of talk about Manchester City’s Champions League ban, and it is becoming clearer that this is potentially a punishment with long-term ramifications.

In the Premier League, that run extends back to 2017 across 50 matches.

A club statement said Suarez, 32, had an operation to treat an injury to the lateral meniscus in his right knee and would be out of action for about four months. The Uruguayan is the third top scorer in La Liga with 11 goals this season and the club's second leading marksman behind Lionel Messi. Barca have no natural replacement for Suarez at centre-forward, and France forward Antoine Griezmann may have to play in the role unless the team decide to sign a striker before the transfer window closes on Feb.

Genoa spent Christmas bottom of Serie A, with serious issues facing them in the New Year. The club are hoping that Davide Nicola can inspire a quick turnaround. His part in one of the greatest survival stories in recent Serie A memory has played a big part in his hire. However, given how the boss slowly raised Crotone, he may take time to adjust.
Milan deserve a lot more points than they currently have,” Conte told a media conference on Saturday. They are a great team and have added a champion like Ibrahimovic, who brings confidence and experience. He has played for both clubs, so it will be emotional for him. The derby always has hidden dangers and the extra difficulties are intensified, because there is this desire to be on top in the city.

He had little to worry about. The match drifted along with little goalmouth incident, although the buzzing atmosphere made the game feel more exciting than it was. Blomqvist missed United’s first good chance in the 56th minute, scooping over the bar from six yards after stretching to beat Babbel to a speculative cross from the right by Giggs.
Goztepe, eighth in the table, are in a sort of league-table limbo, the relegation zone and the European spots being equally distant. The visitors, Rizespor, are fighting to stay in the top flight. They are currently 15th, one place above and two points clear of the drop.

Another match at the Italian cup where I don't expect to see many goals. The first match Napoli won 1-0 so the pressure and the burden it's going to be on Inter side.It's been a long time since both teams had their last matches and only had like few trainings so I don't expect them to force too much. Inter is going to attack more because they have to because of the results but I expect Napoli to defend themselves very well and to try their chances from some counter-attack or something. Most certainly I don't expect too many goals and chances here.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson taking the unusual step of making a goalkeeping substitution and putting Carroll on for the last six minutes is perhaps a sign of how close his keeper selection call ahead of the match was. Fast forward a year and it was Carroll who this time got the nod to start as United faced Arsenal in the final, again in the Welsh capital, but he was unable to prevent the Gunners winning on penalties.

Werner looks likely to leave Leipzig at the end of the season and Jurgen Klopp has identified him as a potential transfer target. Liverpool have also thought about the idea of bringing in Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho - but the England international would cost over £120 million.
