Cesar Azpilicueta celebrated his 100th start as Chelsea captain by putting Chelsea in front, guiding the ball home from close range in the 10th minute. The visitors held on to that lead until the 84th minute, when Iranian Jahanbakhsh came off the bench to spectacularly earn his side a point, firing home an incredible overhead kick.
Players from Brazilian club Gremio took to the field wearing masks on Sunday in protest at having to play a football match as fears over coronavirus grow in the South American nation. The players, led by boss Renato Portaluppi, walked out of the tunnel and lined up before the game against Sao Luiz wearing the masks. This protest by the players makes implicit our support for the championship to be halted - life must take precedence," said Paulo Luz, Gremio's director of football.
Blau-Weiss Linz will host FC Juniors for this fixture of the league. I think, the hosts have a very difficult task. Linz is one of the worst teams in this campaign. Linz are in danger of getting relegated. Also, the hosts have fallen into a poor show. They have three consecutive losses. Also, we have FC Juniors who's is very average team in this season. In my opinion, the visitors are in solid shape. They are undefeated in their last 5 matches. In last game FC Juniors is won 1-0 against Grazer. I think, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory.

On top of playing 40 Championship games for Blues this season - of which 31 have been starts - Bellingham has been studying A-level sociology and attended educational workshops surrounding mental health. The boy has got an incredible emotional intelligence and maturity for someone of his age," Kristjaan Speakman, Birmingham's academy manager, told BBC Sport in March. Jude has done a fantastic job'Bellingham has been linked with some of Europe's biggest clubs since becoming Birmingham's youngest player, aged 16 years and 38 days, last August.
From my view, and this is not to talk ourselves down, because we're six points clear in fourth, now we become probably the underdogs and the outsiders to some point. Manchester United are six points behind the Blues in the Premier League in fifth place and secured the signature of Bruno Fernandes for an initial £47m from Sporting Lisbon. Lampard said: "If I'm looking at it with my business head on and looking around us in the table, Manchester United obviously have signed a big, world-class player in my opinion.
Midweek wasn't good for either of these clubs. Bayer Leverkusen's good run came to an end when losing to Wolfsburg. Freiburg saw their hopes of Europa League football next season reduced after giving away that lead at Frankfurt. Leverkusen are strong on their travels and with Freiburg's defence looking shaky at present, an away win is the tip for this game.
The 2019-20 season must be completed because too many managers have lost their jobs for it not to matter, says Grimsby boss Ian Holloway. Since the campaign began in August, 34 managers and head coaches in the top four divisions of English football have lost jobs or left by mutual consent. Elite football in England is suspended until 30 April but the season will run “indefinitely” until it is finished.
Fifa is set to discuss whether to prevent domestic league games being played in another country. A Stakeholders' Committee, meeting in Zurich on Thursday, will debate whether to recommend making an amendment to the rules of football's world governing body. The idea of a '39th Game' was first mentioned by Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore in 2008 but was eventually shelved due to widespread opposition within the game.
They see them as champions, or remember them that way, and kind of dislike them a bit because they won so much once. I am like 'well, I haven't seen it yet!' I see them as a hardworking underdog, and I love that about my team. I think there is a lot of hope that we can win something under Carlo Ancelotti, I still feel like it is a coup that we got him - he is an awesome manager and just as a person he seems like a brilliant, nice guy.

With the team he assembled, we thought it would happen in his tenure," Wright added. He's three years in with a team that has played at a really high intensity and City have not been able to stay up with a Liverpool side that have kicked on. City return to league action on Sunday against 18th-placed West Ham United.
Maccabi Nazareth is only six points from the relegation zone, so I hope they will do their best today in this match and I think they have the potential to register a positive result. So I think it's a good choice to take draw.

Arsenal's Vivianne Miedema, who helped the Netherlands reach the final, is also on the 20-woman shortlist. Norway's Ada Hegerberg became the inaugural winner of the award in 2018, although her World Cup absence could count against her this time. Tobin Heath, Rose Lavelle, Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe are flying the flag for the United States, who lifted the World Cup in France. Rapinoe won both the Golden Boot for top scorer and Golden Ball for best player at the tournament and also collected the Best Fifa Women's Player award in Milan in September.
Saturday's Brazilian Serie A action sees Ceara doing battle with Athletico PR at the Estu00e1dio Castelu00e3o. An open and exciting game is expected to be in order as both sides fight for the 3 points on offer.
Sammy Ameobi saw a shot from 25 yards deflected narrowly wide shortly before half-time as Forest sought a way back into the game. And although the home side dominated possession and territory after the break, the closest they came was when half-time substitute John Bostock twice had long-range shots pushed away by Bialkowski. Forest appealed for a penalty when Carvalho appeared to be hauled down by Shaun Hutchinson as he shaped to shoot but referee Geoff Eltringham dismissed their claims and Millwall held on in relative comfort.
The Norwegian has brought in or promoted twelve staff to roles in coaching, sports science, strength and conditioning, recruitment, youth and data and analysis departments, as he bids to get the club back in shape to challenge Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the league. Martyn Pert, a coach who also has a Masters in Sports Science, joined the coaching staff in September, where he has teamed-up with another Solskjaer appointment, Mark Dempsey, who had worked with the manager at Molde in Norway, having also managed in Sweden.
We are heartbroken. Our love goes out to his wife Amanda, their young son and family. As a professional footballer - as a Bluebird - he excelled with talent, ease, grace and humility. Nobody did it better. Whittingham, a youth product of Aston Villa and an England youth international, spent five seasons with the Premier League club before moving to Cardiff where he spent the majority of his career, helping the club reach the FA Cup final in 2008.

It would not even be a shock if they took all three points against the second-best United as things stand. Man City must-win? It’s another case of an inconveniently tricky match as defending champions Manchester City host Chelsea two weeks after their defeat at Liverpool. Chelsea are currently flying high under Frank Lampard and defying expectations, meaning Saturday evening’s tie will feel like somewhat of a free shot against City, who find themselves fourth behind the Blues and Leicester in their bid to track down Liverpool.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1Aitch's prediction: 2-0 Norwich v Everton (18:00 BST)I watched Norwich's defeat by Southampton on Friday and you could have driven a horse and cart through some of the spaces in the Canaries' defence and midfield. Saints won 3-0 at Carrow Road but it could have been by a lot more. That didn't seem to be through lack of fitness or application by Norwich. Yes, they are missing a lot of defensive players, but they were just so open.

Bradford City will host Grimsby Town for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this game. True, Bradford have a poor results in the last matches. However, Bradford are more ambitious team in this season. They have a chance to reach for one of the top seven places in the table. Also, we have Grimsby who's is very average team in this league. The visitors have highly variable results. Also, Grimsby is not very good team away from home. I expect, Bradford to dominate in this game. They tend to score a goal. My pick - Bradford to win.
Liverpool have one clean sheet in four away league matches. Arsenal are unbeaten in seven home league matches. Liverpool have one win in six away matches. Liverpool are unbeaten in the last seven meetings with Arsenal Arsenal have scored in six of the last seven meetings with Liverpool. After their loss in the North London derby, Arsenal will be back at home to host Liverpool as the Premier League enters the 36th round of matches.
Wigan could have been in front much earlier but Gavin Massey's diving header hit the post, while Albion keeper Sam Johnstone denied Morsy, Joe Williams and Gary Roberts. Filip Krovinovic twice went close for an otherwise below-par Baggies, who have Leeds United, comfortable winners at Hull earlier on Saturday, breathing down their necks in the race for the title.
Player contracts, some of which end in June, could be an issue although world governing body FIFA has said it is looking into possible 'dispensations'. The problems facing Premier League clubs, who are among the rich elite of the world game, are minor compared to those facing lower league teams. They now face cash-flow problems with no ticket revenue.
Footballers are global role models, and our staff and players have been working to support the incredible efforts of the National Health Service and other key workers in fighting the effects of the COVID-19 coronavirus, in any way we can.

He became in August the first defender to win UEFA's Men's Player of the Year and was runner-up in September, to Messi again, in the FIFA Men's Player award.

Catching Liverpool 'not realistic'Rodgers happy to be left out of title chat"[Manchester] United have the quality to defend and the quality to attack on the counter-attack and you have to accept that," he added. That is the level we face against Liverpool, Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus. They are the teams we have to face and the reality is maybe we are not able now to compete with them.
We've been close to getting points. Results may have been bad but our form has not. Palace forward Wilfried Zaha opened his account this season with a goal against Liverpool and Hodgson hoped the goal would give the Ivory Coast international confidence to push on. I was very pleased to see Wilf play so well against Liverpool, even though he's already been training and playing well," Hodgson added.
Another match from Faroe Islands, elite league for tonight - my third match for today from this league, where I will not complicate anything and I will just bet on goals, what is for me very very real. So, Skala is interesting team who is in last official match against this rival played 2-0 and won, but if we see their form this time, than it is pretty clear that this time will be more efficient. In last two rounds, this team is played with even 15 goals, believe it or not, 6-2 and 5-2. Yes, this match is ideal for over 3.
Now down to 11th and 3 points short of the top 6, Swansea need to regain their form sharply if they want to be part of the play-off picture going into the New Year. Saturday's game against a visiting outfit that hasn't covered themselves in glory certainly represents a good chance to do exactly that but confidence can't be too high in home ranks going into, given just 1 of their last 8 outings at the Liberty Stadium have ended in victory.
Fovu Club will host PWD for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the visitors have better team than their opponent. PWD is one of the best teams in this campaign. They are currently on the 2nd place with 28 points. PWD are in solid shape. They are undefeated in their last 5 matches. They have three consecutive victories. Yeah, the visitors have the potential to pick up another one win. However, I think, this will not be an easy task. Fovu are undefeated in their last 4 matches. They will try to pick up at least one point. My pick - Fovu Club to win.

Beitar Jerusalem is currently playing in a good form. The home team has 49 points and ranks 3rd in the rankings. They only brought 2 wins and 1 loss in the last 3 matches. With their current performance, they had to set their sights high on this battle. Home advantage is what they need to promote.
Away from home, Rotherham have been very good this term. They've claimed 19 points from ten travelling matches, which can only be bettered by Ipswich. Had they made New York Stadium more of a fortress, we'd be talking about title contenders. As it is, we're not. Quite simply, Rotherham have been very so-so on their own patch, where they've won three, drawn two and lost three.

Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup: Newport County 2-1 Leicester City highlights Last season Leicester suffered a shock exit in round three at the hands of Newport County after making a load of changes but that was under Claude Puel. Things are very different with Brendan Rodgers in charge, as we saw when he rested lots of people over Christmas and his side still beat West Ham. Wigan got their first league away win of the season when they beat Birmingham this week, but while they will make life difficult for the Foxes, I don't see them beating them.
Non-European players travelling far for international matches racked up most air miles, with Brazil's Marquinhos (110,787 km) and Roberto Firmino (97,907 km) and South Korea's Son Heung-min (88,289 km) the top three, his research showed.

Another very interesting match from Tajikistan elite league, where new season is just begin. So, of course, like a lot of people, I also just "learning" this teams or it is better to say, the way how they are playing. In first round. Istaravshan is lost 2-1, but for me is more interesting the fact that they are in last six matches, played even five times with three or more goals, if we count and friendly duels. Kuktosh is played very strange in last two matches, 0-0 and before that one, even 5-3. Over is ok here and I will try.
As the Premier League contemplates a return to competitive football, there have been discussions about introducing some new rules - including more substitutes and scrapping VAR. So it got us thinking, if you could bring any of your favourite playground or five-a-side football "rules" into the professional game, what would they be? Read our suggestions and rank them below. Rush goalie It was rare anybody actually volunteered to be the keeper so this was a collective effort from everyone involved.
In contrast, West Brom have been excellent this term and have had no problem at all in getting their noses in front. Only Leeds have won more league games than The Baggies, who've won 13 out of 21 in the Championship this term.
Benfica can't afford to drop points in this game as they try to stop Porto winning the title. They weren't in good form before the league was suspended, so will hope to put that behind them. Their opponents were also in poor form and have 34 points less than Benfica. They struggle for goals and have lost four of their last five away matches. Go for a home win with Benfica ahead at half and full time.
I would back striker Callum Wilson to go on a little run of scoring now after he ended his long wait for a goal in that game, and he is not the only Cherries player who will have enjoyed a confidence boost.
