That hands another advantage to Barnsley, who come here seeing this as a free hit. They’re clearly the undercard in Rooney night at Pride Park, while the hosts are likely to be under enormous pressure to hit the ground running with the ageing forward. How he’ll fare after his time in MLS is still up in the air, while his side have won just once in their last eight games.
The home side come into this game having won both of their last two league games. They had been in the play-off positions towards the end of 2019 but then earned just three points (all from draws) in five games. Home form is the best in the division with ten wins from 15 games. The trouble is they have the 16th best away record so need to improve that to have a chance of promotion and are only seven points adrift of the final automatic promotion spot.

These are two top teams from Saudi Arabia and if I remember right the guests even won the cup competition in Saudi Arabia last season in a final with Al Ittihad so will be playing in the Asian Champions League alongside Al Nassr who won the title in this country last season, and both have some really good players for this league level, the hosts have 3 wins in a row at home the guests have 3 wins in a row on the road and both are scoring goals with ease lately.
Paper Round’s view: Manchester United need to rebuild immediately, so any spending on Bellingham should not be diverted away from their first team plans. However, he is supposed to be an exceptional talent for a player so young, and in the long term it may save United money in order to splash out on him if he does become a first team regular in the coming seasons.

The 33-year-old former Real Madrid player has also been fined £60,000 for his transgression. Paper Round’s view: If the Mirror’s report is accurate, then there can be no surprise that Casilla has received such a hefty ban, and he may even be fortunate to not have been punished further.

Suarez’s diveAnother diving celebration.

Aguero - Manchester CityGetty Images TALKING POINT Another day of VAR controversy Brendan Rodgers will be aggrieved that VAR did not judge De Bruyne's handball from Maddison's free-kick to be a penalty in the first half, only for Praet to be penalised for a similar incident in the second half. Where is the consistency? On a day when Stockley Park admitted fault over its decision not to send Giovanni Lo Celso off in the Spurs-Chelsea game.
Hunting with tribes, playing beach soccer, managing a boarding school and playing in the Club World Cup - that is the life of Hienghene Sport captain Bertrand Kai. His story is indicative of a club who play in a 1,800-capacity stadium and were only formed in 1997 in the Pacific Island French territory of New Caledonia - around 900 miles off the east coast of Australia - with a population of fewer than 300,000.

Relive Real Betis' victory over Real MadridThe Betis substitute broke clear and coolly slide the ball past goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois as the hosts picked up only their eighth victory of the season to move up to 12th, eight points clear of the relegation zone. Rubi's team looked far from a side struggling at the wrong end of the table, causing Real Madrid all sorts of problems as Marc Bartra somehow headed over from six yards out with the whole goal to aim at.
Leeds levelled after the break through Patrick Bamford's tap-in on the rebound from substitute Eddie Nketiah's strike. Josh Onomah smashed in the winner - his first goal of the season - after the ball fell kindly for him from a corner, moving Fulham nine points behind the second-placed visitors.

In 2011, the Scot returned to the club in a coaching role with the academy before working his way up to the first team where he has been part of the backroom staff under several managers. Osman, an old team-mate of Ferguson, says even though he does not expect the 47-year-old former striker to be given the job permanently, a good performance against Chelsea could give the Toffees hierarchy some breathing space as they consider their next move.

It won't be possible to do sport in covered areas, nor practice team or contact sports," said France's Prime Minister Edouard Philippe on Tuesday. Events gathering more than 5,000 participants cannot be staged until September. And so were skewered the French Football League's (LFP) hopes of professional football returning on 17 June, a full month after France is supposed to ease the lockdown restrictions that for six weeks have suffocated but not stamped out coronavirus.
The list of participants will be announced soon, according to ATP. Close of play Thanks for reading throughout the day, but that's the end of the coverage for Monday.

Two minutes later, Bayern sliced open the Cologne defence with incisive passing and Coman placed his shot under Horn. It got worse for the hosts when a corner flew over the Cologne area and landed at the feet of Gnabry, who took it past a defender and drilled his shot into the bottom corner. Bayern, who were sixth in early December, had 18 shots on goal in the first half and could easily have doubled their tally as Gnabry and Joshua Kimmich hit the Cologne woodwork and Thomas Mueller scooped another effort over the crossbar.
On their way to winning the Copa Libertadores earlier this year, Flamengo supporters broke into a familiar chant. Roughly translated, it goes something like this: "In December 1981 we ran circles around the Englishmen/3-0 over Liverpool/It left a mark in history. Ok, so pedants will note Bob Paisley's famous European Cup-winning side was reinforced with numerous talented Scots, an Irishman and a Zimbabwean, but the bare facts are that Liverpool and Flamengo have history.
Initially it’s a free-kick and a red card for Courtois, but the contact was actually inside the box so everyone expects a penalty to be awarded and Courtois’ punishment reduced to a yellow. However, the referee has actually spotted a slight push by Gueye in the build-up so instead Madrid are awarded a free-kick and Courtois survives! 46’- GREAT SAVE! New half, same old Navas making smart saves.
I never heard a player doubt 'can we play like this, or should we play like this?'"They are all so convinced as he does not leave one drop of a doubt what needs to be done. Arsenal are currently ninth in the league but can move to two points behind Manchester United in fifth if they secure their first win at City since 2015. Defending champions City, who are 25 points adrift of leaders Liverpool, were beaten 2-0 by Manchester United in the derby on Sunday.
I don’t think there is a goalkeeping situation (at United)," Schmeichel, one of greatest keepers of all time, told Reuters. It’s ridiculous to talk about that. He (De Gea) made a mistake against Everton, he made one against Watford," added the 56-year-old. I worked this game against Everton (as a pundit) and we were clutching at straws trying to find mistakes that he’s made and we came up with seven over two seasons," added the Dane, whose son Kasper keeps for Premier League Leicester City.

The first-round matches kick off on 22 July in Tokyo but Neville cannot focus fully on that yet, as he is busy preparing the England squad for the defence of their SheBelieves Cup title in March. He said last September he had already notified players "from all countries" that the "longlist has been selected" for Team GB and that will be whittled down to 18 in the summer. We're a Team GB team. We are not England, Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland," he added.

But, like the team itself, Atalanta's fans are now using their collective strength to help Bergamo find a way through the crisis. How did Atalanta get there?While Bergamo lies in the shadow of the Alps, Atalanta have spent much of their existence in the shadows of AC and Inter Milan. La Dea, as they are also known, have only won one major trophy and their best Serie A finish was sixth - until Gian Piero Gasperini took charge in 2016.

There is no doubt that there is an excellent player in there and he could look to other Premier League imports who took a season to find their feet, but should Barca come calling, it would be hard to turn down the lure of Camp Nou, the guarantee of Champions League football and the chance to challenge for the league title, none of which Tottenham can offer.
This independent audit has not been made available to the parliamentary committee amid the Gardai's ongoing enquiries.

The Football Association remains determined to complete the Women's Super League season - but wants the campaign concluded by early August. BBC Sport understands voiding the 2019-20 season was one of several options discussed over a conference call with club representatives on Friday.

Liverpool have won all ten of their home league games this season. Liverpool have led at half and full time in nine of those ten wins.

Zidane will come up against Guardiola for the first time as a manager when their sides meet in a blockbuster tie in the Champions League last-16 in February.

Ghassimu Sow signed a three-year professional deal with Crystal Palace aged 17 in 2012Sow drifted into non-league but he made such an impression at Palace that they offered him a role as a player liaison officer and head coach of their under-nines side. He combines that with playing for part-time Kingstonian, who beat League Two Macclesfield in the last round and now face AFC Fylde in the only all-non-league tie of the second round.
Paper Round’s view: If Traore continues to improve then it is not inconceivable that he might squeeze into Spain’s squad for Euro 2020. If that happened then bigger clubs might decide to take a look at him and see if he could be prised away from Wolves, especially if they could offer him Champions League football.
I've let so many people down including my partner, my family, the club as a whole and individuals such as Uffie (coach Ufuk Talay), who has given me a chance this season.

Aberdeen's last game at Pittodrie ended as a 2-2 draw with Rangers and the hosts come into this game with the intention of extending their unbeaten home run against a weakened Hamilton side that's yet to pick up three points on the road. We're going to back over 1.5 team goals for Aberdeen, as McInnes' side has scored at least twice in their last trio of fixtures, whilst Hamilton has also conceded at least twice in four of their previous five matches on the road. We're also going for a final score of 2-1 to the hosts, as they continue struggling to keep a clean sheet at Pittodrie- doing so twice all season- while their visitors have scored at least once in three of their last four outings.
Neither of those will be able to play in the remaining league games so the remainder of the campaign will be an opportunity for current Chelsea players to establish their importance to the team. Tammy Abraham impressed in the first half of the campaign but injuries coupled with a loss of form meant that only one of his 13 league goals were scored in 2020.
It in effect means Rodrigo Ely, who scored against Betis, will not be available for the Barcelona match but with survival secured, his absence may not be felt. The win was their second in the 10 matches that have come after lockdown and Alaves will hope getting to play at home in the final game delivers three more points.

Guadalupe is more fat than the bookies say, anyway, this low AH 0.5 to Guadalupe is a safe bet, last two results at home against Limon where 1 x 1 and 3 x 1 the last one is the more recent result. Limon comes from a big win against Herediano away, a much strong side, no doubt and an outstanding result. On the other side, Guadalupe also comes from an away win in the 15 round against Municipal Grecia 2 x 3 and now playing at home they will want to slow Limon down and so far only conceded 3 goals in the last 7 home matches. We will set goals in this match but most likely a home win.
The hosts took a 2-0 first half lead through Jan Bednarek and Shane Long, only for Wolves to respond early in the second as Pedro Neto scored from a drilled cross from Adama Traore.
