The Premier League would likely also aim to for such a completion, allowing them to resolve the issues of promotion and relegation and European qualification without any wrangles. It would also ensure they provided their broadcast partners, domestically and internationally, with a full and complete season in line with their contracts.

Being a Championship side, the Robins will fancy themselves to make amends on Tuesday, but their efforts in the initial game weren't overly encouraging. They failed to dominate League 1 opponents, who narrowly had the better of the game in terms of both possession and shots and who, at the very least, were equal in terms of attacking threat.
That’s piled pressure onto West Brom, a side who are fresh from dropping points to Brentford. The Baggies remain comfortably top of the table, but they head into this one in need of a result. Will they break Barnsley’s resolve, or will the visitors’ issues continue?
A very interesting match, I think the game will end in a draw. Lechia after a good previous round and currently undefeated in several games. The team will play at home so it has the advantage. Lechia had the restart of the season with 4 points, but lost 2 of the last 4 home games. The team is currently in 7th place with 42 points. Cracovia continued where they left off before the break: with defeats. There are now a total of 6, but there was also a lot of bad luck with narrow defeats. Overall, the team is still not so bad, with 6th place and the same number of points, the team even stands by the hosts and at some point the team will come back in form. Maybe already here.
In Germany, Freiburg and Borussia M'gladbach are expected to meet today for a Bundesliga match which will be held at Schwarzwald Stadion, Freiburg city.

They have won it three times in the six seasons prior to this, the latest coming in 2017. In a campaign that has seen Mikel Arteta only just begin to pick up the pieces of Unai Emery's faltered regime, the world's oldest cup competition is again their last shot at glory. It also offers the Gunners' most likely route back into Europe, after just one win from their three league games since the restart left them ninth in the Premier League and struggling to cling to the coattails of some of the in-form sides above them.
Manager David Moyes, Vice Chairman Karren Brady and Chief Financial Officer Andy Mollett will take a 30% pay cut. Joint-Chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold and fellow shareholders will also inject 30 million pounds ($37 million) cash into the east London club to deal with the challenges. There is still a long and difficult road ahead but we remain committed to doing everything we can to support those most in need, and together we will come through it stronger," Brady said in the statement.
I would like to thank the Academy for giving me this recognition," Messi said in a video message as he was not able to attend the ceremony. This is a very important and special award. For me it is a huge delight to be part of this award and the first team player to receive it. Of course I would like to thank my team-mates, my family and the fans who support me.
Ibrahimovic helped AC Milan win their last major trophy, the Serie A title in 2010-11, before leaving to join Paris St Germain the following year in a move that he said on Friday was against his will. He has been a free agent since leaving Los Angeles Galaxy in November. At 38, I have received more offers than at 28," he told reporters.
The focus will now turn to how we get football up and running again safely as soon as possible," he said. Nobody should be under any illusion as to how complicated and difficult a challenge it will be to return Scottish football to normality. The decision was taken by the SPFL board after a controversial April vote - backed by 81% of clubs - granted them the power to do so should they deem the 49 outstanding games unplayable.
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is unsure whether injured forward Eden Hazard will play again this season. Hazard, 29, who joined Real from Chelsea in June in an initial deal worth £89m, suffered a fractured ankle during his side's 1-0 La Liga loss to Levante on Saturday. The Belgian was only playing his second game back after a similar injury. I don't know if his season is over, I don't know but I hope not," said Zidane.
It's not cool," he said. Balo can leave Brescia Italian striker Mario Balotelli can leave Brescia on a free transfer in January as his game is not suited to a relegation scrap, the Serie A club's president Massimo Cellino has said. The former Manchester City and Liverpool forward has struggled to find form since joining Brescia in August, scoring two goals in eight league appearances.
Both teams scored in six of Southend's last eight league matches and three of Bolton’s last five league matches. They both sit at the bottom of the table in terms of the League One’s best defences and although neither are particularly prolific in front of goal, the strength of the hosts on home soil and the fact Southend perform better on the road suggests that backing both teams to score is the way to go.
We'll look at the best Premier League reaction from last night's matches in due course. But could this be the day Everton dismiss Marco Silva? A 5-2 defeat at Liverpool has left them in the bottom three. An eighth defeat in 11 games. BBC Sport claims he faces the sack, with Sky Sports News adding that David Moyes is in line for a Goodison Park return.

It was the injury to 22-year-old Dembele that forced Barcelona's hand to look for reinforcements upfront. Under La Liga rules, if a player is out for more than five months, then clubs can apply to sign one player from another La Liga club or bring in any out-of-contract players in Spain. Barcelona, second in the table and three points behind leaders Real Madrid, have sent a medical report to the Spanish top-flight, whose medical commission will review Dembele's injury and decide whether to authorise the club's request for an emergency transfer.
It's obvious that we need a player to come in and that they would help us out. Video - Hot-shot striker Lautaro Martinez attracts interest from a Premier League club - Euro Papers01:18 Reports in the Spanish media say they are looking at bringing in either Real Sociedad forward Willian Jose or Getafe's Angel Rodriguez.
I knew the angle was tight so I got enough on it to dink it over him. I thought it might be offside - I joked with my dad last night about what if I scored and it was ruled out!"Southampton forward Michael Obafemi: "It was good to get the goal but in the end it didn't mean anything. The boys just have to come together again. We had a good run, we'll try to pick it back up again and hopefully we do.
He was confident Liverpool could still be caught. Nine points in November is not impossible to bring back. We've got a tougher challenge on our hands but we like a challenge," he said. We just need to focus on ourselves and make sure we win our games. And come May, we'll see. Klopp has in the past hailed his City counterpart Guardiola as the best manager in the world and Richards said he would have wanted to be a part of the Spaniard's team.
And yet Arteta can lift spirits and make the biggest statement of his reign when Arsenal face Manchester City - where he was assistant to Pep Guardiola - in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday (kick-off 19:45 BST). So how is Arteta settling into his role before the game that can shape Arsenal's season?Arteta attempting to instil fighting spiritArteta was understandably all smiles after Arsenal came from behind to beat Liverpool 2-1 but he was also realistic as he said: "The gap between the two teams today is enormous but the accountability, the fight, is now equal and I'm very proud of that.
All things considered, we see good value in backing the hosts and doing so with a -1 handicap in place. Dundee United are scoring goals for fun, aren't conceding often and given the manner in which they've beaten Dundee twice already, we fancy them to win by more than a single goal via a 2-0 margin of victory.
On 55 minutes, Daichi Kamada bent home a lovely equaliser, and then on 64 he scored again when no one bothered to close him down after a corner. Arsenal had plenty of time to resolve matters, but created little, the players absolutely gone. Very soon, the manager might be too. TALKING POINT When will someone do something? Unai Emery is a Europa League manager, and contrived to not the league at PSG.

It seemed rather harsh as the young Celtic wing-back seemed to have lost control of the ball. Unsurprisingly, the third goal arrived. An incisive move down the left released Ryan Christie to the bye-line and he pulled the ball across for Griffiths to tap home. Brilliant play looked to have created a fourth but Griffiths's strike was ruled offside, before he was then superbly denied by Branescu as time ticked on.
The cynic in The Warm-Up suggests this is the perfect PR storm for Jose to cook up in order to win over a sceptical fan base. But for now let’s just enjoy this for the wholesome content it is. HEROES AND ZEROES Hero: Vivianne Miedema Vivianne Miedema of Arsenal celebrates with Lisa Evans of Arsenal after scoring her sides fifth goal during the Barclays FA Women's Super League match between Arsenal and Bristol CityGetty Images The Arsenal striker is one hell of a player and submitted more proof of her greatness on Sunday with a starring role in the 11-1 win over Bristol City on Sunday, which was the biggest victory in WSL history.
Where have they all gone?"So it has been a real up and down few years but they are still my team and I have got a lot of affection for our players, past and present. I guess I was the same as a kid - I grew up watching college basketball which is huge where I am from in North Carolina. I would see my favourite players go to the NBA and try to follow their career, and I do the same with Everton players now.
Arsenal dominated throughout, but had to wait until the 54th minute before Australia forward Foord made it 1-0. Van de Donk tapped home late on to add gloss to the scoreline and set up a last-eight tie with rivals Tottenham. Championship side Lewes, who allocate equal budgets to their men's and women's squads, rarely threatened.

Like Ferguson before him, Klopp has to deal with accusations of luck, but it is a factor the German welcomes, aware that fortune in a stadium on a Saturday is improved by what is done on the training ground through the week. And he has an ally on this front in Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, who has more reason than most to be irked by Liverpool's repeated late interventions. My son and my daughter, all the time when they [Liverpool] win in the last minutes, ask me how lucky, how lucky they are," said the Spaniard recently.
Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti will find out by Wednesday whether he will be punished for being sent off after Sunday's draw with Manchester United. The Football Association (FA) will assess the referee's report before deciding on any action, which could be a warning, a fine, or even a ban. The Italian approached Chris Kavanagh at full-time after Dominic Calvert-Lewin's late goal had been disallowed.
Porto claimed a 2-1 win in Switzerland against Young Boys on Thursday night and now turn their attention back to the Primeira Liga where they will be expecting a win at home to newly-promoted Pacos Fereira.

Yet Setien said he was relaxed about his relationship with the Barca squad. We are delighted with the dressing room we have found here. There are no problems. I thought it would be more difficult than it is. The players accept everything with an extraordinary attitude," he added. Setien's side were dealt another setback on Friday with the news midfielder Arthur Melo had injured his ankle, joining Ousmane Dembele, Luis Suarez and Sergi Roberto in missing the game with Sociedad.
Odds are way better than expected for the over 2.5 goals bet in this one and I say this because Leicester is really open type of team with holes in their defense having lost recently in the League Cup 2-1 at Aston Villa or a 2-2 draw at home with Chelsea conceding two goals from set pieces but creating a bunch of scoring chances of their own in that one and getting a draw although it could have been more for them. Attack is very strong for Leicester as they have an excellent passing game, while defense is not that solid at this moment.
Sandra, Merseyside: What an utter, utter VARce!! The 'rule' is ridiculous and needs to be changed. Hardly a clear, deliberate handball! You just can't celebrate a goal any more. Lewis, Leicester: You know the games gone when Dean Henderson is celebrating VAR on his Twitter. Football is currently coming second after VAR. Our sport is a joke at the minute. I seriously would rather watch the Championship than the Premier League, where football is football and nothing else.
The Croatian midfielder headed in from close range midway through the first half before adding his second after the break with a neat backheel flick. Josip Ilicic's strike then wrapped up a comfortable victory in stoppage time at the Stadio Mario Rigamonti to leave Brescia in further trouble at the bottom of the league.
Chances went begging at either end before Fabian Schar volleyed in a 59th-minute equaliser, firing past Jordan Pickford after Andy Carroll had headed a Jetro Willems free kick into the defender's path. Everton, whose lightning breaks kept carving open the home team's defence all afternoon, struck again five minutes later when Calvert-Lewin bundled in Richarlison's perfect low cross from the right.
TV comes in and they can earn good money doing that. But it is great to see those four working and doing so well. Rooney says his own management aspirations will be on hold during his 18-month stint at Championship side Derby, even 'though he is officially a player-coach in support of manager Phillip Cocu. He started to think about his post-playing career when he was at Manchester United and feels his role at Pride Park will indulge his passion for discussing the game.
After taking one point from the first six available to him, Arteta has guided the Gunners to victories over Manchester United in the Premier League and Leeds United in the FA Cup.

This is so important for us as we move forward as a club," said Arsenal technical director Edu.
MANCHESTER, England, March 8 (Reuters) - There was no shortage of reasons for Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to be smiling after Sunday's 2-0 derby win over Manchester City at Old Trafford -- and smile he did. The victory over the champions completed United's first home and away Premier League double over City in a decade, moved Solskjaer's side up to fifth and extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 10 games.
The Foxes scored exactly two goals in six of their last seven Premier League victories, and were backing them to hit two more against a Newcastle side that shipped more than two goals just once in their last 13 matches.
The Blades’ long standing unbeaten record away from home came to an end on Sunday as they lost 2-0 at Manchester City, but once again it was far from a disastrous display from the newly promoted underdogs.

Ancelotti was left infuriated after a decision by the Video Assistant Referee to disallow a late Everton winner and received his marching orders from referee Chris Kavanagh for protesting after the final whistle.
