Chelsea are in good form and I can see them just winning this. Lawro's prediction: 2-1Sonny's prediction: 3-1 Liverpool v BrightonIt will be interesting to see whether Brighton will be as open and play from the back as they have been when they face Liverpool. The Seagulls have an attacking threat but Liverpool are of the mindset they can blow sides away. They may be without Fabinho for this one and he is a huge loss - he has been one of the players of the season - but I can't see his absence having an impact on the outcome of this game.
However, Premier League sources are equally adamant nothing will be agreed that places any unnecessary strain on medical resources at a time of national crisis. Even in a sterile environment it is acknowledged how bad it would look for the game if a player needed hospital treatment for a broken leg at a time when significant numbers of the general population were dying of coronavirus. So, alternative options are being discussed, in England and across Europe.
UEFA, who is yet to confirm the decision, has proposed that the June 12-July 12 tournament to be held in 12 countries be put back to June 11-July 11 next year to give the suspended domestic leagues time to be completed. The proposal was agreed during a video conference with all 55 of its affiliated national football federations and representatives of clubs, leagues and players.
Relive all of Saturday's Premier League actionReport: Man City 2-2 Crystal PalaceReport: Norwich City 1-0 BournemouthWolves fought back from two goals down at half-time for a superb 3-2 win at Southampton, with one goal from Pedro Neto and two from Raul Jimenez moving them up into sixth place.

Bayern Munich and Dusseldorf will face each other in the upcoming match in the German Bundesliga. Bayern Munich this season have the following results: 19W, 4D and 4L. Meanwhile Dusseldorf have 5W, 9D and 13L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Home side is newly promoted team in the top tier, and they still does not have experience of playing in the best league of the country. They have lost first two games, without to score and having a lot of goals conceded. Squad could have issues in this one, since visitor made good begin of the competition and are in well shape in front of this visit.
Preston's Stockley among positives in latest EFL testingThe EFL - which has been contacted by the BBC for a response - said the 20 June date was "provisional" and "subject to the strict proviso that all safety requirements and government guidance is met". There are 108 matches remaining, plus the play-off semi-finals and final. The players haven't even returned to full-contact training at this moment and yet they are now expected to be in a position to play at a competitive level in just three weeks' time," Hoos said.
Alaves were holding their own in mid-table earlier in the campaign thanks to some decent results at home, but they have now picked up just one win from their last five outings at Mendizorroza after notching ten points from their first five games.
Wigan have won just once in their last 32 away games at this level, while their 2-1 loss at Luton in their last trip has left them with eight losses from 11 away matches so far. Unlike last season, their home record isn’t propping them up. They come here with 12 losses in 22 games.
Would the team miss him if he was sold?I can't really explain it, no. The expectation was United would trigger the option on his contract and then sell. I am still surprised they didn't. Anything else? Manchester United have celebrated little success since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013Anonymous: How can such a globally successful football club continue to decline? Surely the sponsors will leave.
Odd are almost equal for the home or away win a bit higher on Minsk to win but going down since they appear and reason is very good one, Gorodeja is very defensive minded type of team and not really all that dominant even in home games, and their last 4 home games with Minsk which is very good counter-attacking side on the road ended 3 times with Minsk winning with the same score 2-1 and once a 1-1 draw. But this season Gorodeja played 3 games at home in the league, losing easy with Soligorsk and BATE with 2-0 in the end, and winning with a lot of luck or better said thanks to fantastic saves from their keeper with Dinamo Minsk 1-0.

After a shaky start to the campaign, Getafe have now lost just two of their last 14 in La Liga and one from their last six away, so they look well priced to get something here despite the possibility that they'll have one eye on Thursday's crunch Europa League game at home to Krasnodar – a winner takes all scenario for a place in the Last 32.
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.
Countless Brazil fans, young and old, were reduced to tears inside the stadium. The final score was 7-1, Brazil's first competitive home defeat in 39 years. It was a night that will never be forgotten by anyone who witnessed it and I wrote about it in greater detail here. Media playback is not supported on this device Leicester 3-1 Everton: Foxes lift the Premier League trophy Leicester City 3 Everton 1 - The King Power Stadium, 7 May 2016Not the game but the occasion.
Sheikh Mansour knows he has left a lasting legacy here. And low down, either side of the West Ham fans who occupied the corner of the South Stand, were the City hard core. The ones who pay their money to follow the team through what used to be bad times and now, thanks to an investment from the Gulf state that is nudging up towards £2bn, are generally very, very good times. Those fans are not into PR spin.
In terms of the correct score tip, the change in manager should see some sort of bounce occur at some point for the hosts and we think that they should have enough to edge it. The visitors have conceded two or more in their last two away matches and, as we have already discussed, a clean sheet is unlikely for the hosts. With this in mind, we are backing a 2-1 home win.
VAR, VAR", the home fans chanted as the final whistle sounded, with West Ham condemned to their eighth defeat in 11 Premier League games and their first under new manager David Moyes. The result means the Hammers remain two points above the relegation zone and could drop into the bottom three if results go against them this weekend. Sheff Utd boss Wilder extends contract until 2024The methods behind 'ruthless' WilderReaction to Sheffield United v West HamWilder celebrates new deal with winSheffield United boss Chris Wilder signed a new four-and-a-half-year deal before the game and one media colleague said the photograph released by the club to announce the contract was the first time he had ever seen the lifelong Blades fan wear a tie.
Even so, Roma pulled one back four minutes later with a Jordan Veretout penalty after Jeremie Boga naively handled a cross. However, the French-born Ivorian forward immediately made amends by breaking clear to curl in Sassuolo's fourth goal one minute later. Roma, with 39 points, will lose their top four place if Atalanta, who are one point behind, beat lowly Genoa on Sunday.
Since 2013 these two team have met 18 times in all competitions and away team has never won even a single one of the fixtures. The best they have done is come up with only 1 draw in their 2017 league cup fixture. Despite such history, the away team is indeed in good form winning eight of their last 10 games in all competitions, drawing one which is their recent game and losing one. It's important to note that the game they lost was against the home team. While the home teams form may also be good with 7 wins in 10 games in all competitions, it's not better than the always team. But what has made me go for the home team win is surely there is something that drives the home team to win this fixture no matter what.
Schalke are set to host the Bundesliga's worst away side this Sunday, as they face Eintracht Frankfurt. Eintracht currently sit at the bottom of the Bundesliga's away form table. They have won just one of their six Bundesliga away games this season, losing five.
Their current run isn’t likely to last that long, with the visitors favourites for the points in this one. On top of that, Luton’s four-game losing run points to a change. Leeds kicked off their campaign in red hot away form, so they are capable of fixing things.
Bordeaux have been a team in form as of late but so were Monaco, so to see them lose this crucial clash that could have seen them climb eight places up to 6th was extremely disappointing. They continue to wallow in 14th with the second most goals conceded in Ligue 1 so a match against PSG would’ve probably been pretty far down their wish list for this week.
Macclesfield’s home games produce an average of 1.78 goals and Crewe’s away games produce an average of 2.78 goals, which is why we have backed a final scoreline of 2-0 as it meets the middle of both teams average goals scored ratio heading into Saturday’s clash.

City desperately need Aguero to be back fit if they are to go all the way in the Champions League this season, because there is just no comparison between him and Jesus when it comes to guile and finishing. I don't think it will matter too much against Newcastle, mind. City will create a lot of chances, like they did against Saints and I don't see Steve Bruce's side keeping them out. Lawro's prediction: 3-0Joel's prediction: 4-1 Sheff Utd v Wolves (18:00 BST)This should be a good game because both of these teams have a very similar style.

We were very confident, we were a good side and we always thought we would win," recalled Lee. It was raining very hard and there were puddles on the pitch but we knocked it about well and we created several chances. The guy who was marking me was called Jerzy Gorgon, and he was as big as Desperate Dan, but I still did pretty well against him. We were 2-0 up by half-time but it could have been three or four by then.
We can finish Premier League by June It may be seen in the future as something of a 'done by Christmas' moment, but Martin Semmens has told the BBC the Premier League are planning to finish the season by June if possible. More here. How the league could be extended by two more months The Telegraph newspaper reports that there is a way in which the Premier League could buy more time to complete the season.
Maccabi Netanya is going to face Bnei Yehuda. The hosts of this clash are favorite and I expect them to pick up victory against Yehuda. The hosts won 6 of 14 games at home in this season and lost only one match in the last five played. Their opponents are the best team on away as they won 7 of 13 games and got five victories in a row. I expect a tough match for both sides as they play well in the defensive. I think we will not see many goals here that's why I pick under 2.5 goals as my bet
It's going to be difficult, I know, and for now it's a moment to wait and we'll see what happens. It's a moment of recovery, to think about yourself a little bit, and to be ready because in football always something can happen and you need to be ready. I'm ready and waiting for a new challenge. I have the belief and confidence that the next challenge will be fantastic.
Blues were charged again in January with breaching rules in relation to a business plan imposed by the EFL last season, which they deny. The outcome of the disciplinary process is expected to be confirmed soon. Derby are also under scrutiny regarding an alleged breach of spending regulations, while Wednesday's charge relates to the sale of Hillsborough to owner Dejphon Chansiri. Both clubs deny the charges.
With nine games remaining in the season, Bayern Munich lead the table, four points ahead of Borussia Dortmund, with Leverkusen in fifth and chasing a Champions League spot. We’re also in the semi-finals of the Cup, and we’re still in the Europa League," said Rolfes who insisted his players are not fearful of contracting Covid-19 when football does return. On Friday, fellow Bundesliga side Cologne said three people at the club had tested positive for coronavirus, but that training will "continue as planned".
Still, Napoli took until the 82nd minute to add a second when Giovanni Di Lorenzo turned in a Dries Mertens cross at the back post. Simone Edera pulled one back in stoppage time from a rare Torino attack. The match was one of five Serie A matches at the weekend to be unaffected by the coronavirus outbreak which caused five others to be called off including the meeting between Juventus and Inter Milan on Sunday.
Shearer: "No-one has ever scored a goal like that and I don't think anyone will ever score it again. He absolutely meant it, the touch, the technique and the finish was exceptional. Wright: "The pass was behind him and he has to improvise, and because he was such a great technician, he scored one of the greatest goals I have ever seen. If he had a bad touch in training, everybody noticed, because he was so good.
The home side dominated from the start, creating plenty of chances and hitting the woodwork twice, but it was the visitors who took the lead against the run of play through Caroline Weir's superb volley on the hour mark. City's rearguard, which had only conceded once all season, was finally breached when England headed home from close range in the 79th minute, with Mjelde bundling the ball over the line for the winner two minutes later.
KEY MOMENTS 15’ - Oh my days! Ederson comes charging out of his goal to cut out a long ball for Tete . Tete carries the ball into the box but, when the time comes to act, who ignores the man alongside him then restricts his own shooting angle and hits a low one, which the sliding Fernandinho sticks behind for a corner.
Roma, along with Inter's rivals AC Milan, announced later on Thursday they will not work with Corriere dello Sport until January. A joint statement released at the same time by Roma and AC Milan said: "We have decided to ban Corriere dello Sport from our training facilities for the rest of the year and our players will not carry out any media activities with the newspaper during this period. Both clubs are aware the actual newspaper article associated with the 'Black Friday' headline did portray an anti-racist message and for this reason we have only banned Corriere dello Sport until January.
The Club World Cup trophy has gone to Europe in each of the past six years, with Real Madrid winning the past three finals. The holders do not automatically qualify, so Real cannot defend their title. The only European team to fail to win in the past 12 years was Chelsea in 2012. Manchester United won the tournament in 2008. Three players have scored hat-tricks in Fifa Club World Cup games - Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez and Gareth Bale (last year against Kashima Antlers)Dress rehearsal for the World CupThe (actual) World Cup will be in Qatar three years from now - also in December.
We've worked really hard on Espanyol to find the details that we think our players need to do a good game and compete well. TEAM NEWSWolves have no new injury worries. Wing-back Ruben Vinagre remains sidelined with a hamstring problem he suffered in the FA Cup defeat by Manchester United on 15 January. He is out, but he is really close to returning and joining the group again," said Nuno. Espanyol will be without January signing Raul de Tomas, who has scored five goals in five games for them.
The Tottenham who emerged under Pochettino had a midfield that defined them; Christian Eriksen pulling the creative strings, Moussa Dembele running the game, and either Eric Dier or Victor Wanyama anchoring it. All top teams have that sort of strong core. Even Liverpool, whose one clear weakness is a lack of creativity in those central areas, cannot be accused of lacking strength in the team’s core.
Moyes has been justifiably accused of conservatism throughout his career - in 11 seasons at Everton he never won a league game at Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or, until he managed them, Manchester United. It has long been his Achilles heel and a rich source of material for his critics. He has never quite been able to let his teams off the leash. David Moyes has yet to win a league match at AnfieldMoyes could not be accused of this here.
I am having a lot of difficult in getting across the idea of moving the ball quickly to this team," said an exasperated Sarri. In training, the ball moves around at 200 kilometres an hour but the strange thing is that doesn't happen in matches. In training, we work twice as fast as we did tonight," he added after the 1-0 defeat in the round of 16 first leg.
The result means Real Madrid can establish a three-point lead at the top of La Liga with a win over Real Valladolid on Sunday night. Setien will now face some questions over the poor performance of his team. TALKING POINT - Maybe Ernesto Valverde wasn’t Barcelona’s problem after all? Three games into the Setien era at Barcelona and concerns are already starting to grow.
How much has been spent so far?Premier League spending in January is expected to fall for the second year in a row. Top-flight clubs have spent £116. Manchester United also set to spend an initial £47m on Bruno Fernandes. Last January clubs spent £180m. However, Premier League spending for the season so far is over £1. What are the biggest deals of this window so far? There have not been many big Premier League signings this month.
Levante dropped a place to 11th on Matchday 15, but they go into this Saturday's fixture just three points behind their cross-city rivals. With four wins and two draws posted from seven outings at Ciudad de Valencia so far this term, they will be confident about getting a result here against Los Che, who they haven't lost to in the last six meeting between the teams at this venue.
