Fiorentina return to cup action on Tuesday with plenty of hope. They are hoping for another run at winning this competition after their semi-final exit earlier this year. However, the hosts are also looking towards Tuesday’s meeting with lower-tier opposition as they try to change a dreadful run of form. La Viola are in a slump, but is this their chance to change things?
If] you take one, two, three, four, five touches, fanny about and score a goal… there’s no point. Do it as if it’s a game. Do things at match pace. Do it as if it’s the last minute of the European Cup final. When United beat Ipswich 4-0 in September 2001, Solskjaer sliced a cross into the net from a tight angle.
Arsenal to target Nuno? Good morning and welcome to rolling coverage of today's football news. We begin with the report from The Daily Mail that Arsenal are considering Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo as a potential replacement for Unai Emery. Emery's position is being considered game by game reportedly and Nuno is one of the top candidates for the job if they decide to dispense with the Spaniard's services.
It was a weird atmosphere and the boys were so focused and created their own atmosphere and I think the camaraderie and the team spirit was there to see," Solskjaer told BT Sport. It's not to recommend (football behind closed doors) but I have to praise the boys because they did fantastic. Olympiakos, who knocked out Arsenal in the previous round, had centre back Ruben Semedo sent off in the 28th minute for a last-man foul but Youssef El Arabi fired them ahead in the 54th with a close-range finish.
Only a couple of players went over to congratulate the Mexican and the rest went straight back to the centre circle. Former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri was spotted in the stands at San Siro on Saturday, leading to the inevitable speculation that he is being lined up for the Napoli job should they lose to Liverpool.
When we first went into it back in 2016, VAR wanted to get involved in all sorts of things. We've tempered that enthusiasm. Things of a violent nature might have a slightly different threshold to more subjective penalty situations. It was such reluctance to overturn all but obvious errors that led to Ibrahimovic, then with the Los Angeles Galaxy, excoriating VAR after it failed to overturn a penalty call in a game last season.
Stoke have won four of their last six Championship matches. Wayne Rooney has scored six goals and created three assists in 11 matches against Stoke. Derby have the third-best home record in the Championship this season. Two teams on good runs of form meet in the Championship this Friday when Derby County host Stoke City.
Guadalajara have started the season okay with 1 win and 1 draw from the first two league matches. They have managed to score 2 goals and conceded none in those 2 games with the 2 goals scored at home. At home they have won the last 4 games scoring at least 2 goals

Barcelona have completed the controversial emergency signing of Danish striker Martin Braithwaite from Leganes for 18m euros (£15m). La Liga gave Barcelona permission to make a signing outside the transfer window after Ousmane Dembele was ruled out for six months with an injury. La Liga rules allow clubs to apply to make new signings if a player is ruled out for more than five months. Braithwaite's contract will run until the end of June 2024.

They were caught out in stoppage time when Goncalo Paciencia got away on the left and laid the ball off for Kostic to tap in the second. Moenchengladbach fell behind at home to Mainz to a 12th minute Robin Quaison goal but the Foals turned the game around with two goals from Alassane Plea before Florian Neuhaus added a third.
Scotland winger Ryan Fraser admits he has not "played for the team" in the first half of troubled Bournemouth's Premier League season. The 25-year-old also said he apologised to team-mates after being affected by links with Arsenal last summer. Bournemouth sit 18th in the table, with Fraser contributing just one goal and three assists. I felt bad about it - this last month I've been trying to put it right," he told BBC Radio Solent.
She still has club ambitions - winning the Champions League is a clear goal and that has been shown by Chelsea's ambitious business in the transfer window recently. Manchester United's Casey Stoney made over 100 appearances for England as a player - a number of those as captain - and was on Neville's coaching staff after retiring in 2018. But Stoney signed a contract in November committing her to United until 2022, so would promoting the Lionesses' assistant head coach Bev Priestman be a viable option to oversee England in the meantime?The luxury of having these major tournaments delayed is that the FA have time to recruit smartly but they must use it wisely.

Struggling West Ham, Southampton and Burnley all left the Amex Stadium with Premier League points already this term, and we're backing Leicester to leave the southcoast with three of their own on Saturday.
Subs - Vazquez 5, Valverde 5, Vinicius 5. KEY MOMENTS 13’ What a chance for Benzema! That perhaps should have been the opening goal! Benzema tried to side-foot an effort inside the far post, but the Frenchman's shot was far too close to Aitor in the Levante goal! 18’ CASEMIRO. Another glorious opportunity for Real Madrid to find the back of the net with Aitor punching a ball high into the air.
Position wise, Sandhausen don't look like much; they're in a modest 8th position and are seven points shy of the coveted top three. However, they're fast becoming one of the teams to beat in 2. Bundesliga.

They have enough quality in the team not to get relegated but where have we heard that before?Did you know? Snodgrass scored twice and provided one assist against Brighton - the last West Ham player to score at least twice while providing at least one assist in the same Premier League game was Andy Carroll against Swansea over six years ago. Forwards - Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Roberto Firmino (Liverpool), Son Heung-min (Tottenham) Mohamed Salah: It looks like Mohamed Salah has got that golden scoring touch back.
Nantes have picked up some form over the last few games but haven't been at the scoring level of Bordeaux or Lyon who recently put Nîmes to the sword. Therefore we're backing the visitors to get the win but not by the same margin that Nîmes have been suffering recently. We think this will end 1-0 to the visitors.

I feel in my time at Liverpool I've always looked to do the right thing for the team, the manager and the club in every decision I've made. I think this one fits into that category as well, so I'm buzzing to be seeing out this campaign and hopefully get to celebrate something memorable with an amazing group of people. Liverpool are 25 points clear at the top of the Premier League and are on the verge of claiming their first league title in 30 years.
The spread of the virus could see the government cancel all sporting events for two months, which could, the report states, result in an incomplete Premier League season. Tokyo has no 'Plan B' for Games despite coronavirus Swiss league matches called off after government bans large events UAE Tour cancelled due to coronavirus, what happens next? There is “no specific regulation in place” should the full 38-game season not be completed, and, were such a situation to occur, crisis talks would be required to decide whether the campaign would be voided.
QPR chief executive Lee Hoos says the club is "appalled by" and "vehemently opposed to" the English Football League's plans for the Championship to return on 20 June. Hoos says there was "absolutely no consultation" on the matter, claiming clubs learned of the news just before it came out at 21:00 BST on Sunday. I am absolutely stunned by this announcement," he added. No Championship fixtures have been played since 8 March.
Gareth Bale broke the deadlock with a deflected effort in the 18th minute on his return from illness which kept him out of the Spanish Super Cup and James Rodriguez hit the bar later in the first half at Las Pistas. Alvaro Romero brilliantly levelled in the 57th minute to delight home fans. However, their joy was short-lived as Brahim Diaz struck five minutes later.
With seven subs - or a matchday squad of 18 - clubs are effectively able to offer players that are not a guaranteed start, but could be worth serious money, say £40m upwards, the guarantee of a spot in their matchday 18. Take for example Bernardo Silva, he was bought for £40 plus million in 2017, yet was not guaranteed a start for City – in his first season he started just 15 games, playing the full 90 in just three, despite being fully fit for the whole season.
Smolevichy is a team that got promoted from the 2nd division. So far, the home team in this match, Smolevichy have won only 1 points, ranked 15th place in the league. Their opponent is very strong team, Shakhtyor Soligorsk, who is competing for the title for the last couple of seasons.
I am sure they will be and providing that happens, we will be OK financially. Other clubs will be in a worse position than us. Obviously I don’t agree with what has happened. And you never know what the ramifications might be. We have spent this money but we can’t get promoted and the restructuring of the league has been delayed. You never know, we might not be in this position again. Dave King has stepped down as Rangers chairman, with Douglas Park placed in interim charge of the board.
The highlight is tea, coffee and biscuits at 4pm and then we will have some dinner, but after that I am back in my room, watching Netflix or going to sleep. The main road in and out of Srinagar, which connects Kashmir with the rest of India, is closed, so it has been difficult to get food into the hotel. We were having chicken curry and rice for lunch and dinner every day, but now I am only eating when I feel like it, so it could be toast, boiled eggs or a club sandwich.

Sao Paulo need a win from this game to kick-start their Copa Libertadores campaign. They lost their first group match but will be confident of getting a win back on home soil. LDU Quito got their group off to a great start with a 3-0 home win over River Plate. Their away form is poor though and the tip here is for the Brazilian side to get the win.
