Paper Round’s view: It is always tempting to make huge changes at the time of trouble, but this Chelsea side is one that is on course for Champions League qualification despite the transfer ban of the summer and the transfer failure of the January transfer window. Selling talented players for one season of underperformance - if that - seems an overreaction.

England manager] Gareth Southgate was here watching today - maybe put him into the squad, because holding midfield is the biggest problem for England at the moment," he said. What Choudhury gives you is that he can sniff out danger, he destroys it and can make a tackle, but he's also really good on the ball. Why not give him a game?"If you don't look at these players, you won't know if they're good enough for international football.
And when it is delivered we bring a camera along to film it being dropped off to make sure it is all transparent. As a footballer, Blackstock spent 14 years scoring goals up and down the country, featuring for eight clubs including Southampton, QPR, Nottingham Forest, Leeds and Rotherham before retiring in 2017. At international level, he won England Under-21 caps before going on to play for Antigua and Barbuda.
Montrose is in the mid of the league, but more to the good schedule, and lack of the well play from some other teams that should be favorites in the competition. They have their quality, and this is not an easy rival for other, but visitors which is among the promotion teams from the start of the season, should not be underdog in this ground.
When he takes charge for the Boxing Day fixture at Bournemouth, he will become Arsenal's youngest manager since Terry Neill, who was 34 when he led the Gunners in 1976. Arsenal won the FA Cup in the season after Arteta departed but the 2016-17 campaign saw them finish outside the Premier League's top four for the first time since 1996. Asked if the club had lost its way in recent seasons Arteta replied: "That's what I am sensing from the outside.
Porto have only lost one away league game this season. Braga have lost their last two home games against Porto. Braga have earned just one point from their last two league matches. Porto have maximum points from their last six league games. Porto have already won the Primeira League title. They go into this final game at fourth placed Braga with an eight-point lead at the top of the table.
Bristol City have won their last four league games. Bristol City have kept four straight clean sheets. Birmingham City have only won two of their last 11 away league matches with no clean sheets. Bristol City are in top form at present and have moved up to sixth place in the Championship. They look to make it five straight league wins when hosting Birmingham City who are 17th in the table but also in decent form.
The Premier League hopes for a return to action on 12 June, with matches played behind closed doors. On Thursday, the UK government said it is "opening the door" for the return of professional football in England in June. Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said a meeting with the Football Association, Premier League and English Football League had "progressed plans". But where will matches be played? And do the players support the plans? We answer some of the key questions about 'Project Restart'.
They may have tasted defeat when last in league action at this venue, but overall, Ipswich have been solid at home this term, losing only one out of six. They've only won three of the other five, which doesn't exactly suggest that they're unplayable, but Lambert's men have delivered strong performances, which if maintained will likely seem them up there with the very best home performers come the end of the campaign.
Brighton will be at home in the 18th round of matches in the Premier League this weekend to host Sheffield United. The hosts go to the game placed 13th and with 20 points while Sheffield United are seventh on the standings, with 25 points. Brighton have beaten Arsenal and Tottenham this season and they have drawn with Wolverhampton Wanderers, and they will be keen to add another top side to the list.
Newcastle v Aston Villa (18:00 BST)I've said before that I think Newcastle boss Steve Bruce has done a really good job and his side know how to play his system. That's why they are safe already. Sunday's win over Sheffield United essentially secured the Magpies' survival - they are 13th, 11 points above the bottom three with eight games to go. Villa, meanwhile, are still in deep trouble. They have had a bit of a nightmare in their first two games back, and I think they will have to wait a little bit longer for their first win since January.
Durmus scored four league goals - three winners and one equaliser. Obika has become a cult hero and it was he who got that critical goal against Hearts. The big fella is immortal in Paisley now. Ross County, in 10th, conceded 60 goals and will breathe a sigh of relief because they were in freefall, winning only two of their last 13 games. Hamilton Academical were two points behind in 11th but had at least had found form, beating Rangers and Kilmarnock in their final two games.
However, now Steve Bruce’s attentions turn back to the Premier League, where they have found their grip on mid-table comfort slipping in recent weeks. The Magpies are without a win in four league matches, dropping them to 13th in the table and leaving them five points above the drop zone.
Bournemouth keeper Aaron Ramsdale pulled off a string of fine saves to maintain his side's advantage but there was nothing he could do to keep out Aaron Mooy's 81st-minute pile-driver. The win moves Bournemouth to 23 points from 24 games while Brighton are two points ahead of them in 15th position in the standings.
Euro 2020 postponed until 2021Mini-tournament could decide Champions League and Europa League The English Football League board are due to meet on Wednesday to discuss the way forward, while Premier League clubs will hold a conference on Thursday. Fulham, Brentford, Nottingham Forest and Preston North End currently occupy the Championship play-off places, with Charlton Athletic, Luton Town and Barnsley are in the relegation zone.
Forward Robert Lewandowski set the Bavarians on their way by scoring his 21st league goal of the season in the sixth minute and, after they had two goals disallowed for offside, Thomas Mueller added the second just before halftime. Leon Goretzka scored a brilliantly improvised third in the 50th minute before Thiago and Serge Gnabry added two more as Bayern completed their fifth successive league win.
Their most realistic route back to the Champions League lies in Europe’s second-tier competition and by signing a solid centre-back and a dominant centre-midfielder, they could go all the way. However, it just seems like they will bring in a new Kim Kallstrom or Denis Suarez… so good luck to Mikel Arteta.
BATE won the title in the previous season, while Smolevichi is new team in the league, because of the promotion of their senior squad. BATE is now among the worst teams in the league, but they should get better, through the season at least to move at the mid of the table.
Some were prepared and OK with it; they could handle it. Brazilian left-back Maxwell was an example of that - someone who he played with at Ajax, Inter, Barcelona and PSG. When Zlatan had a go at Maxwell about something in a game or in training, he would just tell him where to go. Some other players were like shrinking violets and I felt for them. They were shaking in their boots when Zlatan had a go at them.
They have won two and drawn one in their last three matches and the momentum is there, though with Real Madrid’s ambitions, they know this is going to be tough. Granada started well when the league resumed, beating Getafe, but thereafter went on a four match winless run and their current run of three unbeaten matches should give them the needed motivation for the remaining three games.
I remembered that I had a series of as many as 17 consecutively losing bets on draws. Let's see if it lasts after the break. In real life I took Nulfora Eintracht, but here I still want to catch a draw.
Joe Gomez Gomez has done really well this season but every time he does well it is next to Virgil Van Dijk. When he's played in England games before you haven't looked at him and thought, 'He's brought his club form into international form. Can he do well next to Maguire and feel assured? Joe GomezGetty Images Harry Maguire You've got to throw Maguire in there even though I'm not a great fan.
VAR will be used in qualifying play-offs for the European Championship next year and is set to be introduced in qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup. Video assistant referees were trialled at the 2017 Confederations Cup before being used at the World Cup in Russia. However, VAR was not present during Euro 2020 qualifying matches. Uefa, European football's governing body, agreed on Wednesday to introduce it for March's play-offs but Fifa needs to approve it for World Cup qualifiers.

FC PORTO VS ARSENAL: "This Could Be Our Year In Europe" 41:05On this edition of TCOAG, we preview Arsenal's trip to FC Porto in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16! We'll discuss our miserable record ...
No-one will like our performance today," Setien told a news conference after the game, in which his side had 74% of possession. Valencia were committed, they closed us down and we have a lot of things to correct. As in their 1-0 win over Granada last week in Setien's first game in charge and the 2-1 victory over Ibiza in the Copa del Rey, Barca monopolised control of the ball but made hard work of opening up their opponents.
However, Antonio Conte's Inter Milan are also interested in bringing in the 32-year-old, but only on a loan deal. Paper Round's view: United's midfield is clearly lacking something at the moment. It's not creative enough and there's not enough drive or passion in the middle of the park for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
It is hard to believe that Sheffield united has 4 points more than arsenal on the league table right now and I think arsenal is going to beat them today despite they have a lot of problems with their squad they are simply better tram and Arteta is going to motivated them to play like it is champions league final and on the other side it is hard to believe that Sheffield could stay this high on the table so I Will bet a lot againsnt them especylay on the games they are playing on the road starting with this one

Fremad Amager will against Naestved in match Denmark First Division. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 2 goals due to Fremad Amager on last 2 match in league can make total score is 3 goals. Likewise Naestved on last 2 match in league they can make total score is 2 goals. Therefore, I think this match can be the end score is over 2 goals. Moreover Fremad Amager always to make score in every match on this season. Beside that Fremad Amager more strong and have better rank in league. Surely this match have chance the end score is over 2 goals.
There are those among the players who are happy to continue, others who express their concerns. There are many foreign players too and it's obvious their families will be worried watching what's happening in Italy. Four other Serie A matches are due to take place on Sunday, including Juventus versus Inter Milan (19:45 GMT), while Sassuolo's match against Brescia on Monday (17:30 GMT) is also due to go ahead.
They were never given a moment's peace by a St Mirren side full of endeavour but the gulf of quality proved telling. The Paisley club have gone just shy of a decade since their last league win over Celtic, and even a goal had proved beyond them in the sides' last five meetings until MacPherson's deflected free-kick sailed past Fraser Forster to end that trend.
Palace are tenth in the table and looking to bounce back from a heavy loss against newly-crowned champions Liverpool. Burnley are 11th in the table, behind Palace only on goal difference after a 1-0 win over Watford in midweek. Both teams will be looking over their shoulders at Everton and Newcastle, one and three points behind respectively.
People say it was me and Wes, and naturally we are going to take a bit more credit as we are black and naturally have an emotional attachment, but [Manchester City's] Kevin de Bruyne was massive in the chat, [Everton's] Seamus Coleman was massive in the chat, [Liverpool's] Jordan Henderson was massive in the chat," added Deeney. People were having our back and saying: 'No, we want to do this. We want to help; we want to step up.
New Zealand showed why they are ranked second in the ICC Test Rankings with a dominating display in the first test. They scored over 600 runs and were still able to declare and bowled England out twice. England again have batting problems and struggle to score 400 in their first innings which will always make winning matches difficult. Joe Root is struggling for form and the returning Pope and debutant Sibley are yet to make big scores. Go for New Zealand to get another win.

This should be a thoroughly entertaining game of football in south African league. SuperSport United are a formidable outfit and sit third in the league, but Maritzburg United are particularly tough to break down at home. A 1-1 draw is therefore the most likely result. Judas Moseamedi proved key for Maritzburg at Mbombela Stadium with a match-winning brace. Maritzburg could have scored even more goals were it not for a solid performance from Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma.

As many a team has found out in this competition over the last few years, New Meadow is a very tough place to go. The Shrews may not be the most exciting team in the world, but they're experts at putting home advantage to good use, especially in this competition. Shrewsbury have lost none of their last 11 FA Cup matches at home, a run that stretches back to 2016. Three of those 11 matches have been against sides from one of the top two divisions. In 2018, Tuesday's hosts drew at home to both West Ham and Stoke, while they also held Wolves to a draw at this venue in 2019.
All things considered, backing Both Teams to Score looks the best option here, and we’re expecting a Spurs win too. The hosts have looked very strong against the less capable teams since Mourinho’s arrival, and throughout this season they have averaged 2.11 goals per game and conceded just 1.0 goal per game at home. Brighton, meanwhile, have scored 1.0 goal per game on the road and conceded 1.67 at the other end, making a 2-1 correct score prediction attractive.
