In a season which was supposed to be AC Milan’s grand return to the top of Serie A, the Rossoneri come into this clash with Bologna rivalling the hosts for a spot in midtable. There’s only a point between the 11th placed visitors and the hosts in 12th. Now the pair go head to head, on a surprisingly level playing field.
Progress in the fight against racism will only come in football when more black players become managers, England and Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling says. Thousands of people have taken part in anti-racism marches in the UK, following the death of American George Floyd on 25 May in Minneapolis. The protest is a great starting point, to make your voice be heard," he said. But just protesting alone is not going to make a change in this country.

Posted at 89' Corner, Tottenham Hotspur. Conceded by Christoph Zimmermann. Posted at 89' Attempt missed. Dele Alli (Tottenham Hotspur) right footed shot from outside the box misses to the left. Posted at 87' Offside, Tottenham Hotspur. Hugo Lloris tries a through ball, but Lucas Moura is caught offside.
Despite his frustration, Neville said he had "100% confidence in my own abilities as a manager" when asked if he remained the right man to take the team forward. I know 100% that I've got the backing and trust of the players," said the 43-year-old former England international. We've got no games in April, no games in June - which is frustrating, because what the players gauge their success off is winning games of football and we're not going to have that until September.
Southampton's surge hit the buffers as they surrendered a 2-0 lead at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers to lose 3-2. Mexican striker Raul Jimenez struck twice after the break for Wolves who moved into sixth spot. RELEGATION DOGFIGHT David Moyes's West Ham United drew 1-1 at home to his old club Everton to remain in the thick of the relegation dogfight while Aston Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion drew 1-1 with Jack Grealish equalising for Villa who stay third from bottom.
The Bosnians are at home to Northern Ireland in their playoff tie on March 26 and should they win, they will host either Ireland or Slovakia for a berth in the 24-nation tournament to be staged in 12 European cities. Bosnia finished fourth in qualifying Group J, behind Italy and Finland who gained automatic places and third-placed Greece, who will miss out on the Euros.
VAR AWARDS A PENALTY TO CITY! Praet is penalised for handball. Aguero steps up and his pen is saved brilliantly by Schmeichel! 63 ' TOP SAVE! Mahrez finds Aguero in the box whose low shot is saved again by Schmeichel's foot. CLOSE! Crunching challenge from Walker to tackle Chilwell, the City man has had the better of that battle today.
Paper Round's view: Sancho needs to take things one step at a time. He needs to remember that Borussia Dortmund are the club that put their faith in him and he has to respect that while he's still there. The English forward was given a new contract and wage rise earlier this season, which has driven up his value for when the German club wish to sell - but the rumoured transfer agreement was supposed to be next summer.
He performed impressively in the early months of the season, blooding youngsters such as Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount while Chelsea operated under a transfer embargo. But in recent weeks, with a barren January transfer window clearly causing consternation as Chelsea failed to bring in a striker, the gloss has faded somewhat. Lampard had every right to criticise VAR on Monday after Manchester United's Harry Maguire was not sent off for kicking out at Michy Batshuayi and what would have been a Kurt Zouma equaliser was arguably harshly ruled out - but the current Chelsea malaise cannot be disguised.

The hosts know that they need to inspire a run of form following O’Neill’s arrival. Not all of the fans are happy with the move, while his decision for job share for the next four months is also a concern. On the bright side, Wigan look perfectly set for a defeat here.
We will have the eyes of the world on us but the level of planning and preparation that has gone in makes me extremely confident that it will be a great success. Speaking to BBC sports editor Dan Roan, Purslow added: "It [the Premier League's return] now feels about right. I am not sure I felt that when we first confirmed but I think events have caught up with football and it now feels absolutely the right thing and there is a palpable sense of excitement.
Because Mlada lost right after the break 1-0 at home to strong Slavia Prague and after got demolished with 7-1 away from home at Plzen while their next two games they only drew 1-1 at home with Zlin two fast goals in that one and also last game they proved me wrong and came close to winning away at 3rd placed Liberec where they had the lead 2-1 but only drew 2-2 in the end still ruining my home win bet, will skip the 1X2 market as they are really unpredictable and will take the over lines.

We want to maintain that form going into the New Year and keep Anfield a fortress," Lallana told the club's website https://www. We can't take our foot off the gas. Most pundits already regard Liverpool as champions-in-waiting, while Manchester City's Sergio Aguero said this week it would be too hard to claw back the deficit.
They head to this game having secured a place in the Champions League quarter finals after a 2-0 win over Dortmund, which will give them great confidence. They have scored at least two goals in their last four matches but have just two clean sheets in their last nine matches. In Ligue 1, PSG have not lost any of their last 15 matches, winning 13.
We think both teams to score is the best option, while we’re going for back to back 2-2 draws for Charlton. The Rs have seen exactly four goals in 55% of their home matches this season, while they’ve drawn three of five home clashes with sides below them. The Rs have scored at least twice in four of those five, so we’re backing a sixth 2-2 draw of the season for Charlton.
Posted at 64' Foul by Nemanja Matic (Manchester United). Callum Hudson-Odoi scored his first Premier League goal as Chelsea returned to winning ways at Stamford Bridge with a comfortable victory over struggling Burnley. The England winger showed a nice bit of opportunism, stealing in to the box to finish off Cesar Azpilicueta's chipped ball, to net his side's third and seal the win shortly after half-time.
Further encouraging news came when it emerged that Leicester's Sid Bishop, the England captain, had fallen ill overnight. England made to appear utterly inferior'By the time the King and Queen of Afghanistan took their seats at Wembley, along with the 10 surviving members of the Scotland team that had beaten England 4-1 in 1900, there was a quiet confidence among the visitors. That assurance was not shaken by England striking a post after three minutes, the Scots instead responding by scampering upfield and cleaving open their hosts with a goal of beautiful simplicity.
That's why he plays. Have you seen the games? " Two shots on target (against Newcastle) and we conceded. We will improve. City enjoyed 77 percent of possession against Newcastle and had 24 goal attempts but were not clinical -- a theme that has developed this season, allowing Liverpool to pull clear.
Any suspicions they would be lacking motivation after Friday's jaw-dropping announcement were quickly put to bed, however, as Rodri broke the deadlock on the half-hour mark with his first goal in front of the City faithful, after Gabriel Jesus had spurned two gilt-edged opportunities in a dominant first half display.

There comes a point in the lives of most young footballers when they think they're not going to make it. A lot don't. But, for Shrewsbury Town striker Daniel Udoh, that dark moment came six years ago when he was down in the ninth tier of English football in Hertfordshire at non-league Hoddesdon Town. This Sunday, he could be lining up against reigning European and world club champions Liverpool. And, whether or not the Premier League leaders will be anywhere near full strength for the FA Cup fourth-round tie, 23-year-old Udoh "needs no motivation".
Furthermore, in the build-up you had players drinking mudslingers with Rod Stewart, hanging out of stretch limos on Sunset Boulevard, appearing on Grandstand drunk and - apparently - heckling John McEnroe at the Australian Open. David Coleman, sunstroke & cheerio KennyThe latter two incidents took place in Melbourne, scene of the qualification play-off second leg with Australia. Scotland had set up that tie on a wretched night in Cardiff, their joy stolen by the death of Jock Stein in the immediate aftermath of a 1-1 draw.

It’s not the success that’s truly special, but the glory,” he says. Astounding, varied games, featuring kickings, robberies, comebacks and thrillers, amazing goals, exceptional competition, absurd characters, elephantine testicles and staggering plot twists. Or, put another way, it encompassed so much of what makes United, sport and life so compelling.
You’ll know the one we’re talking about, so there’s no real need to repeat it here. But during their defeat to West Ham at the weekend, the chant reached new heights of offensiveness, sung so loud and so often that it could not be ignored by the authorities. And thankfully, it hasn’t: the Metropolitan Police are investigating the chant after several complaints were made, although alas we’re not entirely sure what they can do about it, unless individuals can be picked out and made an example of.
City's back line has been ravaged by injury, with Guardiola fielding defensive midfielder Fernando in central defence in recent games. The reality is we are 14 points behind for the mistakes we have done, for the quality of our opponents and especially, as well, the things we cannot control," he said.
Released by Sheffield Wednesday at 16, Vardy was forced to wear an electronic tag after being convicted of assault and was substituted early while playing for non-league side Stocksbridge Park Steels to avoid breaking his curfew. If the away games were too far, I could only play an hour and they’d have to take me off,” Vardy said. It was a case of hope we were winning, jump over the fence and straight in my parents’ car to make sure I was home in time.
in the first leg, we witnessed a great match which ended in an overwhelming victory for Schalke 3-2 and for this second leg we will have another great game. Schalke wants to make up for it after losing by 4-0 face in Dortmund last week will do everything to get there but opposite the team of 2 who also experienced a 1-2 defeat against Wolfsburg and for their displacement it will be complicated for them because the Schalke team rarely loses at home so my dear friends I invite you all to bet on this option. Good luck to everyone

Altyn Asyr easily won the title in Turkmenistan last season more than 10 points ahead of 2nd placed Ahal, but right now they are only on 2nd place in the league because they have already 3 draws in 6 games played this season all those draws were with 1-1 in the end, but have beaten the league leaders from Ahal with 2-1 at home coming from 1-0 behind two rounds ago while in their last game their best so far this season they had the lead 3-0 by half-time of the game against FC Ashgabat and went on to win the game with 4-1 in the end.
Slask Wroclaw have had an excellent season so far and today they can secure the 3th place in the regular season with a win. At home they have been strong with a 5-3-1 record in the last 9 league games. The only defeat was against league leaders Legia Warsaw.
Serie A's disciplinary tribunal said in a statement that further investigations were taking place to identify exactly where among the visiting Lazio fans the chanting came from and that Lazio had been asked to help the police identify those responsible. Lazio won 2-1 after Balotelli, who has been subjected to discrimination throughout his career, had opened the scoring for hosts Brescia.
The reigning champions of Serie A are enduring a testing title battle in this campaign with both Lazio and Inter Milan on their tails. The incredible form of Cristiano Ronaldo keeps them one step ahead of their chasers. Ronaldo was among the scorers as Juventus beat SPAL 2-1 on Saturday. It was a landmark occasion for the Portuguese goal addict, the 11th successive Serie A match in which he scored, equalling a record held by Gabriel Batistuta and Fabio Quagliarella.

This here is a local city derby in Turkmenistan first league level and both are quite decent in this start of the season but lately the hosts are really good at scoring goals with 7 goals scored in their last two games and even though they were games against the bottom two in the league table for example at the start of this season on round 1 they only drew 0-0 at home with Energetik while last round had 4-0 the lead at half-time against same opponent even on the road and ended up winning the game with 4-2. So 6 goals scored there.
We can see this being quite a tight affair with neither side really being able to dominate but both creating chances as they try and gain the advantage going into matchweek six. Both teams to score looks like a good bet and we'd expect an open game without a huge amount of goals. 4/7 seems a fair price though and we're confident that both teams will find the net during the game.
But we won't take them from the USA or England or Spain just to make our under-17 or under-19 team a little better. We want to find the special one. We were quite successful with Pulisic, Gio Reyna and Jacob Bruun Larsen. Larsen is a Dane, who arrived at Dortmund as a 16-year-old in 2015 and was sold to Hoffenheim in January for £7m. Of their current crop of youngsters, Switzerland forward Bradley Fink - who is English qualified and attracting the attention of the FA - plus Dutch midfielder Immanuel Pherai and Cameroon forward Youssoufa Moukoko, who both played against Derby, are the current youth team stars.
That is more important than any game of football he could play. Solskjaer has watched with pride at the way 22-year-old England forward Rashford has kept pushing the agenda, unafraid to recount his own experiences of using breakfast clubs and free school meals at times when his mother was unable to earn enough money to feed her children adequately. It has been fantastic to follow Marcus throughout the lockdown period," he said.
Blackburn Rovers will be at home against FC Brentford. The host are 17th in the league with 21 points from 17 games, scoring 23 goals against 26, winning in all 6 matches, 3 draws and 8 games lost, winning 2 games from the past 5 league games played so far while the visitors are 8th in the league eager to join the qualification group of the Championship at the end of the season, they are presently with 2 straight wins, 8 wins in all with 3 draws and 6 lost games, 3 from last 5 games ended in over 2.5 goals, while 4 from the last 5 league games from Blackburn's has ended over 2.5 goals.

Both teams struggled to create chances in a physical mid-table clash played under heavy showers, with Bournemouth dominating possession. Yet Burnley scored with their only attempt on target as forward Rodriguez nodded home a cross from Ashley Westwood in the 89th minute. The match was disrupted by 34 fouls, with referee Martin Atkinson producing six yellow cards -- four being shown to the visitors.
Fans of Exeter City have seen it all before as for the last few seasons they have been in and around the promotion picture but have not quite had enough to get over the line. The Grecians are once again challenging towards the top of the division this season and they know that if they are to go one step further this time around, then a strong record on home soil is essential to their chances.
Posted at 48' Hand ball by Aaron Connolly (Brighton and Hove Albion). Tottenham striker Harry Kane is aiming to become only the third player to reach 200 Premier League goals after scoring in Tuesday's 2-0 victory over West Ham. The England captain netted his 137th league goal for Spurs in his 200th appearance for the club. Only Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney have reached 200 Premier League goals. I'm still only 26 so hopefully I can get to that 200 mark sooner rather than later and go from there," said Kane.
We’re confident that a double chance bet on Famailcao will payout this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. The visitors have outperformed their hosts so far this season and head into the game as the form favourites but Boavista have drawn half of their home games which is why we have backed the double chance bet rather than an outright win for the visitors.
Alex Neil is pushing his side to get over their latest defeat, but there are concerns that standards could slip. This season so far can only be seen as a success for the visitors, but they are punching firmly above their weight. The last two seasons have seen Preston fail to make the top six, while their lack of summer signings this year suggests that the squad isn’t hugely improved.
