How phenomenal Real Madrid were in the last round when they beat Barcelona in El Clasico. Even Lionel Messi could not help his team at the “Santiago Bernabeu”. Now the “creamy” leaders in the standings and now is not the best time to lose points. Perhaps they have to fly out in the Champions League from Manchester City, so that all hopes will remain only on Example.
Kamil Grosicki replaces Matheus Pereira. SubstitutionSubstitution, Queens Park Rangers. Todd Kane replaces Bright Samuel. Post updateOsman Kakay (Queens Park Rangers) wins a free kick in the defensive half. Nottingham Forest's season imploded against Stoke City with a dramatic defeat that cost them a place in the Championship play-offs. A five-game winless run heading into the last round of fixtures left Forest needing at least a draw against the Potters to guarantee they finished in the top six.
Meanwhile, Rodgers, has confirmed the club is in talks over new contracts with two integral members of the title-winning team of 2015-16 - veteran defenders Christian Fuchs, 33, and Wes Morgan, 36. Both players have been immense for me," said Rodgers. It's not just on the pitch, it's their qualities off the pitch that are very important. Negotiations with them are ongoing and we'll see where it takes us.
It was a comfortable evening for us. When you have two players in those advanced midfield positions against Watford, you have to get players behind their midfield. Mason Mount's pass is wrapped through the front line [in the build-up to first goal]. I like working with that position because it's where I played and it's important we have quality in that area to unlock the door. Watford manager Nigel Pearson told Sky Sports: "I thought we played with discipline.
But a second successive win was built upon a rock solid defensive display and the ruthlessness to seize on a big chance when it came. Captain Mee has stood tall for his side both on and off the pitch since the restart. It was he who came out to passionately and eloquently condemn the banner flown by Clarets fans at the Etihad and he who stuck his head in where it hurts to score his side's winner at Selhurst Park.
They have been consistently scoring with eight goals in their last five outings while keeping it relatively solid at the back with just three leaked in that time.

THURSDAY’S BIG STORIES All square in the Carabao Cup You know what that was, at the King Power Stadium last night? That was a pretty good cup tie. Villa, as is entirely understandable when playing away against a team 24 points ahead in the league, turned up to defend in numbers and see if they could burgle something.
Two teams are near each other at the league table, and they had a tight clash in the first match which finished as 1:1 draw outcome. There is not much difference between two rivals, and host should have a lot of job to do, how to reach the final.
Mallorca's position in the lower reaches of the table was perhaps expected following their promotion via the Segunda Play-offs last term; however Betis would have hoped for better at this stage of the season after the appointment of Rubi and a busy summer in the transfer market.
I think the right thing is to wait and see. With all industries and businesses, the urge is to get the economy back on track and going again, and of course I understand why it is the same with the Premier League - but you cannot put that ahead of people's lives, and you cannot give football special treatment either. Ruud Gullit: Football is not as important as the well-being of people in general, and it is not more important than people who have other kind of businesses and are in huge kind of trouble.
Even without coronavirus, I think he [Haaland] wouldn't leave," says Mueller. His father and him know he's a brand already.

Then goals deference will decide who take over the 3rd position.

It was a really difficult game," Saint-Maximin told Sky Sports. The team played great against West Brom in the FA Cup (in midweek) and we have followed that up against Southampton.

PAOK go to this game, with not only the better run of form but also the fact that they do not lose a plenty of matches against Aris. PAOK also have a great run in the Super League 1 and they will be facing a side that has not been very comfortable in the recent matches. Aris have one win in their last five matches and we can’t say they have been particularly comfortable in these matches. PAOK are unbeaten in 11 matches against Aris, though eight of these have ended in draws. PAOK are also unbeaten in their last eight away matches and have eight wins in 10 Super League 1 matches. They have four clean sheets in the last five away matches and based on this, we are going for an away win here.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has urged his side to get "the job done" against Shakhtar Donetsk to secure qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League. City are top of Group C and will qualify with a game to spare if they draw at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday. The position we have is good. We have 10 points but we are not qualified," said Guardiola. I know Shakhtar and Dinamo Zagreb can win both games and we will be out.
Hajji’s departure after less than a year in the job was confirmed by CAF, who said he was quitting for personal reasons. He leaves amid much turbulence in the African game.

Rumours of angered players forced to arrange high-intensity, secret training sessions behind Ancelotti's back spread like wildfire. Supposed quotes from players criticising the Italian's relaxed methods were vehemently denied but, according to what club president Uli Hoeness told Radio FFH after sacking the manager, Ancelotti had turned five important players against him. As Ancelotti explained in an interview with Kicker: "I'm not a coach, who kills his players in training.

Difficult for league to continue' - Devlin'Wage cuts not inevitable' - CormackAberdeen pandemic insurance to stop"The club has worked diligently to minimise the impact on its lower-paid employees," said Cormack, who urged fans to reach a target of 10,000 season-ticket sales for next season and 7,000 AberDNA members by 31 July. Our investor group, including myself, who invested an additional £5m last December, has committed £2m more to the cause," the chairman added.
The question that does arise from those numbers is that if it requires these lavishly-paid players to take a 70% cut AND make contributions in order to keep the lights on, then this is not a football club being run in a very sensible manner. But that’s a problem for them. What was also interesting is that, as ever with Barcelona, there can be no day when politics are not involved, so tacked onto Messi’s statement was the following ‘verbal broadside’ against his club’s suits.
They finished on five, but this could have been double figures. There was a fluidity to the Catalans’ attacking play which has been missing in a number of performances.

Brutal reality was dawning. Brazil were 5-0 down at home in a World Cup semi-final. There had been a lingering suspicion throughout the tournament that Scolari's defence was suspect - and, robbed of suspended captain Thiago Silva, so it proved. It was then, as the second half started, that emotion was overtaken by raw anger and the Brazil team became the target. Ironically, in a reference to previous World Cup triumphs, Brazil's team bus had been decorated with the slogan: "Brace yourself - the sixth is coming.

Cambridge United have shown glimpses this season of what they can achieve, with the goals of Sam Smith catching the eye in particular, but they haven’t had any consistency to their game at all, picking up consecutive wins just twice. This has kept them from mounting a playoff push but they sit just eight points off of the top seven, a total that they could overcome if they were able to find the results needed in the second half of the season.

The Venezuela forward enjoyed a fine campaign with Newcastle last season, scoring 11 Premier League goals as they avoided relegation. He followed departing manager Rafael Benitez to Chinese Super League side Dalian Yifang and reports suggest he could be a late target for Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
