And it certainly doesn’t sit well when you consider how this scheme was initially designed to help small businesses who are at risk of going bankrupt, not cash-rich football clubs who are constantly announcing record profits. SO IS THIS THE PLAYERS’ FAULT? Not really. Most of them have done some pretty amazing stuff during this time.
What now? With the suspension of the season and nearly 100 days since his last appearance the relationship between Pogba and United seems instead to become a story that was always destined to end badly. His flexibility and inability to take a mediocre group to the top table appears to be the spark that lit the fuse.
I prefer him there. That's why he plays. City's central defence appears to be a clear area of weakness - they failed to buy a replacement for skipper Vincent Kompany in the summer, lost Aymeric Laporte to injury and have opted not to play Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones together in any game since September. It will not prompt Guardiola to strengthen his squad in the transfer window, though. Instead he intends to stick with 34-year-old Fernandinho as his first-choice centre-half.
As much as PSG were slightly taken aback in the 3-3 draw on Sunday, they are a quality, quality side and should not be underestimated as they look for revenge here. Prior to the draw they had won each of their last eight matches with a whopping 34 goals scored and just four conceded in the process. Therefore this shows how well Monaco played in the previous match.
Werner is mainly a centre-forward, but he has the ability to play in a wider role due to his pace and playing style. Read the full story Chelsea to beat rivals to Kepa replacement Chelsea are set to beat the likes of Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham Hotspur to the signing of Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana, according to the Sun.
They have managed just one win in their last 15 matches, with three clean sheets only in the 15 matches. Amiens defensive discipline came to question in their last match; after taking the lead early, they succumbed to two late goals in the final five minutes and fell to Monaco at home. Here they have another home game but against a much superior opponent.
Vendsyssel will host Viborg for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Viborg is the best teams in this campaign. They are currently on the 2nd place with 33 points. Visitors have 4 victories in their last 5 matches. In last game Viborg is won 2-1 against weak Naestved. Also, we have Vendsyssel who's is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 6th place with 22 points. In last game Vendsyssel lost 3-0 against F. Amager. So, the hosts lost on the previous game and do not wish to make the same mistake this time as well. I expect, they will pay attention on their defense. Also, Vendsyssel will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch.
I remember very good last official match of this two rivals when Shakhtar Soligorsk is last year also played match at home and won in that duel even 5-1. I think that Slavya, who is playing pretty good this season so far, will be very motivated to beat them this time, even that will not be easy to do. Shakhtar is in any case favorite, but this season they are not playing too good and probably they will have some problems in defense. Slavya, at least I think so, surely will score here at least one goal, so over is ok.
This time we are going to Portugal for the return of the championship. Where Vitoria Guimaraes and Sporting CP meet. It will be a great match, both teams are good this season, Sporting probably better, but Guimaraes is good at home, 6 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses.

Following Bayern's 2-0 win at home to VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday, CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic agreed that continuing with Flick is "explicitly a viable option". Under him as head coach, the on-field development has been outstanding, both in terms of the quality of our play and the results achieved," Rummenigge said in a statement.
Maardu is one of the better opponents in this league, and they may challenge for the promotion in this season. Nomme are new team here, and they will try to avoid relegation in the second league. This match could be tight in the first part, but Maardu is having more prepared squad, which is able to make high tempo in the second half, in order to break the host and get to the win.
Forward Odion Ighalo has extended his loan deal at Manchester United until January 2021. Ighalo, 30, joined United in January from Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua, initially until 31 May. There is no option for the Premier League club to buy the Nigeria international. It's been a dream for him and hopefully he can finish what he started and win a trophy with us," said United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Manchester City registered a thumping win over Liverpool in their last match and will look to extend the same to Southampton. A poor run at home is the biggest issue facing Southampton here and it coincides with an impressive away run in the league for City. Only three of City’s last 15 matches have seen both sides score and City have scored two or more in four of their last five matches. Southampton have lost four of their last five home games and we don’t see them recovering here, looking at the opponent they face and generally their home run. We will go with a 3-0 win for Manchester City on this.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he will 100% stay at the club and believes the "truth will prevail", after City's ban from European competition. Premier League champions City have been given a two-year Champions League ban and fined 30m euros (£25m) by Uefa. City say they will launch an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. We appeal. When someone believes they are right they have to fight," Guardiola told Match of the Day.
That figure has come under scrutiny despite the PFA’s leadership causing internal strife, the investigation by the Charity Commission, and an independent review by Sport Resolutions. Paper Round’s view: Unless and until Taylor has been found to have done something that deserves punishment, then of course he should be paid for his work.
In fact, Ancelotti's breakthrough as a manager, came when he turned an under-achieving Milan side into European champions without a massive overhaul, but by applying sound coaching and tactical principles, getting more out of the team than his predecessor. Just as Turkish coach Fatih Terim had failed to turn Milan into an effective unit, so Portugal's Marco Silva had been unable to craft the individuals at Goodison Park into a side that could compete in the top eight.
If not, they have clearly and completely snaked and sharked Poch - looking at you Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Christian Eriksen. Sharkin' 'ell. Snakes. The Warm-Up will tell you who definitely sent a fawning message and that was one Harry Kane. In other news, Harry Edward Kane covered the most ground in Jose Mourinho's first game as Tottenham boss in a 3-2 win at West Ham.
Dinamo Brest fc come in to this game from an away win to Belshina fc where they beat them with three goals to nil so they are in good form that a straight win is expected, this game is when they will lock their horns with Dinamo Minsk fc.

AZ are yet to lose in Group L and a point against Partizan on Thursday would prove enough to seal second place with one game still to play. The visitors arrive knowing a win is a must but having lost their last two group games confidence is bound to be low and even three points on Thursday would only take them to within a point of AZ meaning they would need another win and another AZ defeat to progress any further in this competition.
Aigle Noir have won their previous match at the season, and should be favorite in this one too. Host is only two points behind, but looking at the recent performances of both and goals scored, it should be clear that Aigle Noir is favorite in the moment.
The Hammers saw both teams score in five of their last eight in the league, and the clean sheet West Ham secured in their surprise 1-0 win at Chelsea on Saturday was just their 3rd shutout on the road in 18 attempts in the Premier League.
One point separates the sides going into this encounter with Hertha making a winning return on Saturday. A subject of derision for much of the season, Hertha looked like a side transformed under new boss Bruno Labbadia when they travelled to Hoffenheim last weekend. A slick performance led to a 3-0 victory for the away side with goals from Ibisevic and Cunha following an own-goal early in the second half.
Meanwhile, River Plate find themselves back where they were last year; on the cusp of lifting the Libertadores title. Los Millonarios saw off arch rivals Boca Juniors to win the trophy last season and travel to Peru desperate to retain it and win the competition for a third time under boss Marcelo Gallardo, who would put the cherry on the cake of his eternal legacy at the club with victory.

We’re confident that over 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of AZ. The hosts have won 78% of their home games this season and concede an average of under 1 goal per home game but score an average of 2 goals. Willem II are in decent form and have performed very well this season and certainly carry a goal threat away from home, which is why we believe this game will be close and competitive throughout.
But their problems at left-back continued. Alex Sandro is injured, and Mattia de Sciglio pulled up during the game holding his hamstring. He was replaced by Danilo, who will now be suspended after picking up two yellow cards. Juventus had played twice since the Italian season restarted following the coronavirus pandemic without scoring. They drew 0-0 with AC Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-final before winning on penalties - and then lost the final to Napoli on spot-kicks after another goalless draw.
Club matches with 60,000 fans were not uncommon whereas today the most popular team, Ferencvaros, averages 7,600. Demolished in 2015, the People’s Stadium concrete was recycled in the new stands and the centre circle was preserved in the exact same location. Although the stadium's hefty price tag drew heavy criticism – especially as early plans for a multi-functional arena hosting facilities for several sports were abandoned to create a football-only pitch – the government has defended it as necessary, along with all other spending on the sport.
Neymar heads home to self-isolate Another Brazilian reportedly on the move is Neymar…. THAT dreaded ‘c’ word again!!! The 28-year-old forward has fled Paris and headed to Brazil to self-isolate due to the coronavirus outbreak, according to ESPN and French newspaper Le Parisien. Neymar is said to have returned to his homeland and "exiled himself" alongside Paris Saint-Germain teammate and fellow Brazilian international Thiago Silva.

The Nigeria international, 32, was targeted on social media after a 2-1 victory that moved Trabzonspor above their opponents into third place. The club say they have filed "criminal complaints" against those responsible. Racism is a shelter for [the] helpless and ignorant," Trabzonspor said in a statement on Twitter.
The rapid spread of coronavirus has raised fears of a pandemic, with eight countries reporting their first cases and the World Health Organization raising its global spread and impact risk alert to "very high". The AFC will hold its second emergency meeting on Monday at its Kuala Lumpur headquarters to discuss contingency plans for holding World Cup and Olympic qualifiers as well as the Asian Champions League games.
It left them dangerously exposed to counter-attacks, but Ferguson was always of the view that you may as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb. We could never have started with that line-up; it would have been brave going on suicidal,” said Gary Neville in his autobiography, Red. A final twenty minutes of desperation was another matter.

Lysandrou, a lawyer by profession, said the league was operating on two levels, combining information from the work done on European soccer with national health data. We have our eyes on two levels. One is the European and the efforts there, this is the sporting level, and then on the national level with the government measures.
France's highest administrative court has confirmed the Ligue 1 season will end early as planned - but suspended the relegation of Amiens and Toulouse. The league was cancelled in April on a points-per-game basis, with Paris St-Germain named champions and Ligue 2 sides Lorient and Lens promoted. However, Amiens and Toulouse - the French top-flight's bottom two clubs - could still be demoted because the State Council ruled that the French Football League (LFP) must re-examine its structure of the top two divisions.

It begins a hectic week for the Gunners, who then travel to Standard Liege with Europa League progress still in the balance before hosting Manchester City at the weekend. Elsewhere, there is a full round of European fixtures in midweek, while there will undoubtedly be more fall-out from City's loss to Man United in the Manchester derby on Saturday, not least given the abhorrent allegations of racial abuse suffered by Fred.
That led to Ashley dishing out 10,000 free half-season tickets in December in order to keep the stadium full. Ashley will point to record signings in consecutive transfer windows (£20m for Miguel Almiron in January 2019 and £40m signing Joelinton last summer) and the fact manager Steve Bruce almost spent a reported £35m on Lille's Boubakary Soumare two weeks ago before the midfielder changed his mind.
Here I’m risking betting on total. With mobile. it’s impossible to set up express trains because the office doesn’t give you a lot of marathons and it’s a bunch of matches. I’ll get back to the bid. Managua now has a lot of goals. 11 goals for 3 games. Motivation 120%. Since the match will be a fight for top places in the league. In turn, the jalapa is strong at home, although against the grassroots teams and the motivation is also 120%. I think both should open the defense to each other. I will think they will have a meat grinder for the top places. Since if they lose, they can both end up far below and 2 teams from the bottom support
The home side are not in good shape right now. They have suffered 3 defeats in their last 5 matches they are coming into this math after a draw against Enfield town by 2-2.

The Tottenham striker has been absent since New Year's Day with a torn hamstring sustained in his club's defeat to Southampton and there had been fears that he may not feature again this season. However, he believes that he will be fit enough for the tournament this summer barring "something pretty drastic" occurring in the meantime.
Their white shirts, soaked by the evening's relentless rain, hung heavy and loose as they celebrated in front of Elland Road's Don Revie stand. The torrential downpour had aided Leeds United's winning goal, with Lee Bowyer's 88th-minute shot from 30 yards slipping out of Dida's grasp, between the AC Milan goalkeeper's legs and across the goal line as he stumbled into the post. It was a fortunate climax to a dark and dreary Champions League night in September 2000, but it was a hard-earned and well-deserved victory for David O'Leary's vibrant young side.
Osha have scored 3 and have allowed 4 goals in two preseason games played. Lida also had some high scoring matches in the preseason like a 4-2 win in the match against Gomel. Also in the latest game they have scored 10 goals against Zelva.
