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.
The approach taken by Fifa to this case has been deeply unsatisfactory. Fifa accused Chelsea of breaching rules on the signing of 27 under-18 players. However, the Blues claimed that in 16 of those cases, the players were registered in line with advice that the game's global governing body had given the Football Association in 2009. Chelsea argued that the alleged rules breaches in the remaining 11 cases were either "procedural" or there was no case to answer because of precedents set in Cas' ruling on Spanish side Real Madrid's transfer ban in 2016.

With a semi final berth on offer, Solskjaer is unlikely to make wholesale changes to the team that was held to a 1-1 draw by Everton on Sunday, though youngsters Axel Tuanzebe and Brandon Williams could be given another chance to shine.
But once Derby settled into the game they began to take control and could have have more goals to show for their efforts by the break than teenage midfielder Sibley's shot into the top corner and Martin's opportunistic effort. Walton twice made fine saves to deny the Rams, first pushing Martin's curling shot around the post before denying Martyn Waghorn, who also hit the post from a tight angle, with his legs.

There was early use of the review when Bournemouth had a Josh King effort in the 22th minute chalked off after VAR ruled that the ball had struck Philip Billing's arm in the approach. Burnley grabbed the lead in the 53rd minute with Czech striker Vydra claiming his second goal in as many games with a cool finish after being slipped through by McNeil.
Highly improbable that the story ends here'BBC Scotland chief sports writer Tom EnglishAnd so the spin begins. Twenty-seven votes against having an independent inquiry and 13 votes for; 64% of clubs against the investigation into the SPFL's corporate governance and 31% went in favour. If you're Neil Doncaster and the SPFL board you're saying that enough clubs have spoken and this should be the end of the most divisive chapter in the history of the organisation.
We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Sunday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 0-0. Both teams have been struggling for consistency of late and while Guimaraes have outplayed their hosts so far this season, Setubal are yet to lose or even concede a goal in their own backyard, and that makes the most likely result a 0-0 draw this weekend.
His contract at Spurs had been set to expire this summer. By the time Inter boss Antonio Conte offered an exit route, Eriksen says he had grown tired of the speculation about his future and weary of the finger-pointing from the stands. In an exclusive interview with BBC Sport, Eriksen outlined his frustrations. In addition, he explained why he feels the treatment he received came because he wanted to be honest, the excitement he feels at joining Inter and Sunday's derby with AC Milan at the San Siro.
Mahrez has a French admirer - Euro Papers Garay one of five Valencia personnel to test positive for coronavirus The players, led by manager Renato Portaluppi, walked out of the tunnel to play Sao Luiz and lined up before the game wearing white masks over their faces. This protest by the players to take the field wearing masks makes implicit our support for the championship to be halted," Paulo Luz, Gremio's director of football, said in quotes reported by Brazilian website UOL.
Considering Los Che are unbeaten at Mestalla in the league this season with four wins and four draws posted from eight, it's clear that they are struggling to put their best foot forward on their travels.
Busan I'Park have suffered a 2:0 defeat by Pohang Steelers in the first round. They were one goal down after 24 minutes as Iljutcenko scored for Pohang. The match was decided in the 72nd minute when Palocevic converted a penalty shot to set the final result. Busan lost, but now they play at home. One player is rated as doubtful - Lee Sang Jun suffered injury against Pohang last week. Jeonbuk Motors started the season with a narrow victory over Suwon Bluewings. Last weekend they won 1:0 thanks to the goal scored by Lee Dong Gook. The guests are big favorites here, but I believe Busan could remain unbeaten thanks to the home advantage.
While thousands of fans have decided against travelling to Birmingham this season, this weekend's FA Cup tie has attracted an "incredible demand for tickets", according to Coventry. A crowd of about 20,000 is expected - including 9,260 Birmingham supporters - after the two clubs agreed a near 50-50 ticket split. Coventry have a club shop at a shopping centre close to the Ricoh Arena while they operate a portable merchandise store on match days at St Andrew's'We want to be back in Coventry'Are Coventry close to returning to the Ricoh Arena, where they have not played since 28 April 2019?"We want to go back to Coventry as soon as we possibly can," Sky Blues chief executive Dave Boddy told BBC Sport.
Additionally, we've collectively agreed that the professional game in England will be further postponed until no earlier than Thursday 30 April. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? It sounds as if, at least for the time being, the FA is fully committed to finishing this season and therefore the idea of voiding this season is not in their thinking.
Dejan is an outstanding centre-half. You tell me one player on Saturday night who played his normal level and I would be really surprised. It's not because two players didn't play the week before. The loss to Watford was Liverpool's first league defeat of the season, scratching their chances of an undefeated campaign, but they still hold a 22-point lead over Manchester City and need 12 points to secure a first league title since 1990.
We believe that there are some things that are more important than football, and that the good health of our pack (staff) and the general public is one of them," Wolves said. Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Olympiakos as well as English Championship (second-tier) club Nottingham Forest, said on Tuesday he had contracted the coronavirus.
One way or another, whether the stadiums stay empty or the season is suspended for a few weeks, it is just a matter of time before Liverpool win the title. Everyone is asking 'how will they celebrate?' if they cannot get into the ground where and when the title is won but, after waiting 30 years to see it happen, I am sure Liverpool supporters will not mind waiting a few extra weeks for the party. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
I'm sure I'll never change. We don't have the players that other teams have got but we have boys who want to track back, put a tackle in and stop a cross. You're in a bubble and you're just working for the next game. I'm still making the same journey to the training ground, seeing the same boys and going home to watch the TV. Nothing really changes. I'm still at the local boozer on a Saturday afternoon if we've not got a game to go to.
They looked deadly together once more, yet neither was needed to score in the 5-0 thumping. Neil Lennon spoke post-match about his entire side looking ruthless and hungry in the second-half - and that's what will (most likely) be the key difference. Celtic go 10 points clear with ruthless win over Hearts Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: Celtic 5-0 Hearts Time to criticise Gerrard?Rangers' title hopes are now hanging by a thread after defeat by Kilmarnock left them 10 points behind Celtic, even though they have played a game fewer than their rivals.
There's definitely a problem - there isn't enough help for players," he said. I am fortunate. I had offers to go straight into TV. But even then, I had no training or anything. All of a sudden I'm sitting there and someone gave me an earpiece and an autocue. I didn't have a clue what I was about to do. Nobody had ever put anything in my ear other than a cotton bud. I miss the day to day of football.
Visitors had one drop in the begin of this part, when went down for the defeat in Bochum. However, they went back fast, and won home match 4:0. Team is going to Hamburg to face squad of Sankt Pauli, which did not good in the previous game. Host file to win against rival that is not from the league upper part, and now is again far from the fight to the upper half squad.
The Holte hostelry, tucked in a corner near the stadium's famous Holte End, was locked and silent, just a few lights on inside. Instead of the usual hubbub there was calm, although that was shattered by a huge thunder and lightning storm just after the Sheffield United team coach pulled into the car park behind the Witton Lane Stand. The car parks at Villa Park, usually rammed on matchdays, were largely desertedAs Villa Park's floodlights took full effect, it provided a spectacular backdrop to the big relaunch, as the media went through high security checks, including hi-tech temperature testing before being allowed in.
For Jose Mourinho, praise doesn't get much higher. Sonaldo. Sonaldo Nazario," said the Tottenham manager when asked for his reaction to Son Heung-min's extraordinary 70-metre solo run and finish in the 5-0 win over Burnley. It was a play on Ronaldo Nazario, the original and, for Mourinho at least, best Ronaldo. Mourinho was a member of Sir Bobby Robson's backroom staff during the Brazilian's solitary, but stellar, season at the Nou Camp.
He wasn't even born when Everton last won at Anfield in September 1999. He was just 20 months old when Rooney ended Arsenal's 30-game unbeaten streak with a last-minute curling effort that beat David Seaman before crashing in off the underside of the crossbar in 2002. Rooney came off the bench to score his first goal in the top flight against Arsenal in October 2002Rooney is still playing, and to good effect according to his new manager, but Jones is the new kid on the block on Merseyside, sending Jurgen Klopp's men into Monday's fourth-round draw with a curling effort that left England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford flapping at thin air.
Watford, West Ham and Brighton - all within two points of the relegation zone - would breathe a huge sigh of relief if this table ends up being the final version. BBC Radio 5 Live's senior football reporter Ian Dennis did some of the research on this one. How about the teams promoted into the Premier League?In the past decade there has been a remarkable lack of difference at the top between the 37th game in the Championship - where we are now - and the final table.
The idea is the same from day one to today, it doesn’t matter who you play, the difference is the quality, but the idea is completely the same," said Guardiola. We try to put the players where they feel comfortable, but it doesn’t matter if we play one striker, two strikers or without a striker. Last game we scored three without strikers and created a lot of chances.
Liverpool need just two more victories to guarantee a first top-flight title triumph since 1990. But when is the earliest that Jurgen Klopp's side can be crowned Premier League champions for the first time?Sunday 21 JuneEverton v Liverpool (19:00 BST) Liverpool will definitely not win the title on this day. Manchester City's 3-0 victory over Arsenal on Wednesday meant Pep Guardiola's side held on to the trophy for a few more days and Everton breathed a sigh of relief as they avoided the possibility of seeing city rivals Liverpool winning the title at Goodison Park.
A spokesman for Newcastle United declined to comment on Saturday, while Saudi's Public Investment Fund was not immediately available for comment. The tentative deal could still break down, the WSJ added. Newcastle United has been up for sale a number of times and was last year rumoured to be on the brink of being bought by Abu Dhabi billionaire Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan, but that deal did not go ahead.
The performance of the day was surely Everton's comeback at Vicarage Road where two first-half stoppage time goals from defender Yerry Mina saw them claw back Watford's advantage. Even after Everton midfielder Fabian Delph was dismissed for a second yellow card foul after 70 minutes, Theo Walcott earned a 90th minute-winner on the counter-attack.
The Telegraph report that the Hornets are "desperate for Flores to turn the situation around", but it might be too much of an ask with upcoming fixtures against Leicester, Liverpool and Manchester United before Christmas. The report doesn't name any potential replacements, but it states that the club has no interest in bringing in a "firefighter" manager, like Sam Allardyce or Tony Pulis to offer a short-term fix.
In terms of our correct score tip, we have to look at the hosts average of scoring 1.5 goals per game on home soil and, given what we said about their mindset, it is likely that they will approach the game knowing that they have to score plenty. With the visitors in such a rich vein of form at the moment and averaging 1.25 goals per game, we think that backing a 2-1 home win is the way to go.
Ansu was offside when the pass was played by Messi and the final whistle blows moments later. KEY STATS Lionel Messi is now the all-time top-scorer in the top five European leagues (438 goals in 474 appearances), surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 437 goals in 540 appearances. Messi was booked for the third successive game for the first time in his Barcelona career.
Fifa has established a working group to tackle the issues facing football as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The group will look at the international fixture calendar, and issues around player contracts. Most deals expire on 30 June but, if restarted, many leagues could continue beyond that date in an attempt to finish their current campaigns. The group will also look at whether more funding is required to help clubs, players and governing bodies impacted.
The German also missed the FA Cup replay against Shrewsbury with his first-team squad "respecting" the inaugural Premier League break. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has also been highly critical of the fixture congestion saying "a year of 400 days" was needed to fulfil all the games. The Spaniard has suggested removing FA Cup replays or scrapping the Carabao Cup entirely. Wolves' goalless draw against Leicester City on Friday night was their 42nd game of the season and they will play at least 56 matches and a maximum of 63 depending on their progress in the Europa League.
Mikel Arteta remains without an away win since taking charge in December yet his side played better with 10 men, and their gutsy second-half performance will have encouraged the Spaniard. Luiz, who has given away three penalties in the Premier League this season - more than any other player - was left with little choice after Mustafi's under-hit pass let in Abraham who looked certain to score after going around Leno.
