Only six points separate the top seven teams, surprise leaders Sivasspor out in front by one point at the top. This match focuses on one of the chasing pack. Three points behind in fifth place, Galatasary play host to Yeni Malatyaspor, a midtable side currently tenth. Galatasaray are one of the form teams in the league at the minute, winning five games on the trot.
There were no such doubts when they eventually did take the lead, as defender James Tomkins headed Luka Milivojevic's precise freekick in off the underside of the crossbar five minutes into the second half. Southampton were thrown a lifeline when Palace defender Martin Kelly under-hit a back pass to Tomkins, and Ings pounced to fire a simple equaliser.
The German’s best save came from Mario Hermoso who must have thought he was set to score only for Ter Stegen to deny him from close range. There was also a wonderful save to deny Morata. He was the scourge of Atleti’s attack. PLAYER RATINGS Atletico Madrid - Oblak 6, Trippier 6, Felipe 6, Hermoso 5, Saul 5, Herrera 7, Thomas 5, Koke 5, Felix 6, Correa 6, Morata 7.
But it turns out, the Manchester United board are sticking by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rather than booting him out. As well they might. Solskjaer might be a poor manager, and many United fans may have come to accept that he isn’t going to be the saviour they needed, but if the Glazers think the atmosphere has become poisonous now, just wait to see what happens if they ditch a genuine legend of the club before they ditch Ed Woodward, a man almost universally loathed by the fan base.
Platini was banned from football for eight years by the world soccer's governing body along with former FIFA president Sepp Blatter. Both men denied wrongdoing. The ban was over a payment of 2 million Swiss francs ($2. Frenchman by FIFA in 2011 with Blatter’s approval for work done a decade earlier. Platini's ban was reduced to four years on appeal by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Reaction to all of Wednesday's Premier League actionLawro's predictions v DJ & Aston Villa fan Nathan DaweArsenal show true grit to defy champions Arsenal's defensive frailties have continued to plague their latest manager, Arteta, and they were demonstrated again in the north London derby defeat at Tottenham on Sunday. Here, however, Arsenal dug deep to survive a second-half siege from Liverpool in which they existed almost entirely in their own half.
Ultimately, anything but a comfortable Preston win would be a huge surprise. They are a stronger side than Luton on paper and that is more than reflected in the 11 points that separate the two on the table.
If Aston Villa can get past Leicester City on Tuesday, they will reach the Carabao Cup final for the first time since 2010. Villa fans will not remember that occasion fondly of course, as they were beaten 2-1 by Manchester United. But a lot has happened since then. They have been relegated from, then promoted back to, the Premier League while the Red Devils have gone from serial title winners to top-four hopefuls, and the EFL Cup has been rebranded three times.

Barca have not been that impressive despite sitting top of La Liga. They came from behind to win 2-1 at Leganes on Saturday. Here at Barcelona, it is required to win, to make a soccer lesson in every game," boss Ernesto Valverde said. Sometimes it is complicated. The good thing about football is that when you talk a lot and there is a lot of football, there is always a game after which you can win, play well and make people happy.
But he was starved of the ball - Villa only had 30% of possession - and when he did get on it, he found himself in areas where he could not hurt City. When his side are almost constantly on the back foot, Grealish is never going to be able to play the game he wants to. He had cramped up by the end, because he had spent so much time chasing the ballI am afraid that is just the way it is for him in situations like this, but not every game Villa play between now and the end of the season will be as one-sided as this one was.
Don't underestimate the role played in their fine defensive record by the man who patrols the area in front of them, Wilfred Ndidi. The Nigeria player has made more tackles (62) and interceptions (37) than any other midfielder in the division this season. They couldn't, could they?"We're happy, we're not shying away from anything, but I just think there are only 13 games gone. That was what Rodgers said when asked about his side's title credentials after Saturday's win.
The court case is expected to start on 5 May. In a statement on Wednesday, Cordeiro said: "I sincerely apologise for the offence and pain caused by language in this week's court filing, which did not reflect the values of our federation. I have made it clear to our legal team that even as we debate facts and figures in the course of this case, we must do so with the utmost respect. Ballon d'Or winner Rapinoe, who scored the opening goal against Japan, said after the game: "That [statement] wasn't for us.
He emerged with top marks after a 2-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur strengthened Chelsea's hold on fourth place. After a run of four defeats in five league games, Lampard tweaked his system to 5-2-3 from his usual 4-3-3 and Chelsea dominated their London rivals from start to finish. It was a significant moment for Lampard as he got the better of a manager renowned for tactical acumen.
Liverpool fielded a weakened side in the game and with a pile up of fixtures, they will want to end this game in regular time so we expect to see top players this time. Liverpool head to this game straight from a 4-0 win over Southampton and are unbeaten in 12 matches, having drawn just one. The only time they have not won in the last 12 matches was in the 2-2 draw with Shrewsbury; they have scored at least two goals in their last five matches and have nine clean sheets in 11 matches.
Derby County players and staff have agreed to take wage deferrals amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Championship side has not revealed how big a percentage of wages are being deferred but said it was "considerably more than has been reported". Last week a spokesman for captain Wayne Rooney denied the former England skipper was leading a player rebellion over wage deferral talks. A Rams statement "specifically" thanked Rooney for his "help and support".
Celtic's record-equalling ninth title in a row would not be a lesser achievement if the season is called early, says captain Scott Brown. Neil Lennon's side were on track for the Scottish Premiership crown when football was halted by coronavirus. The SPFL's successful resolution gives it the power to call the top flight. Asked if Celtic glory would feel "diminished", Brown said: "No. We're 13 points clear with a great goal difference and eight games to play.
But after producing a mock-up video using old missing children cases and pointing out Roma's 16 million social media followers, they were "blown way" by his idea. He says: "One of the things they said which struck me was, 'most brands try to distance themselves from something like this because missing children is a very sensitive subject and maybe you don't want to be associated with it'. We said we wanted to help 100%.
HAT TIP Some games postponed. Others going ahead. Some behind closed doors; some in front of fans. Soldiers standing around in masks. If you’re a little confused as to how exactly Italian football is coping with the spread of the coronavirus, well, you’re not the only one. James Horncastle pokes through the chaos for The Athletic.
The Eagles could consider themselves lucky to end the match with 11 players with Tomkins narrowly avoiding a red card after a late challenge on Gabriel Martinelli, in what was a feisty first London derby of 2020. Arsenal manager Arteta - who was not even born when Palace boss Roy Hodgson started his managerial career - remains without an away win in the league since taking over as manager on 20 December.
The surprise was Portuguese clubs did not look at him seriously until Jorge Jesus, the current Flamengo boss decided to sign him," said Portuguese football writer Jose Delgado. In the media we were asking why Benfica, Sporting or Porto were not going for Fernandes because you could see he was a fantastic player. He was a sure bet and it has proved a great success. The numbers back that up. Since the start of the 2017-18 season, Fernandes has topped the Portuguese Primeira Liga rankings for the most goal involvements (67), most goals outside the penalty area (9), most chances created (239), most shots (271) and most shots on target (114).
Everton are undeniably talented, and a manager of Ancelotti’s stature should be able to bring that potential out in a relatively short period of time. Burnley, while successful, have been shown to struggle against teams of a higher standard than themselves. The Clarets have conceded 1.78 goals per game and scored 1.11 goals per game in return away from home, so a 2-1 win for the hosts looks like a good correct score prediction.
Four of the clubs deeply involved in the scrap to stay up are in action with Brighton and Hove Albion and Watford facing each other at the Amex Stadium on Saturday in a 'six pointer'. Brighton are in 15th place having won just one of their last 10 Premier League games and are just two points above the drop-zone while Watford's mini-revival under Nigel Pearson has stuttered and they find themselves back in 19th place, with only bottom club Norwich City below them.
Hungerford and Braintree will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League South. Hungerford this season have the following results: 6W, 4D and 20L. Meanwhile Braintree have 9W, 5D and 17L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Serie A has been suspended since March 9 because of the coronavirus pandemic which has claimed 15,887 lives in Italy, almost a quarter of the global death total. Several club presidents have suggested that the season should be called off. The only serious way to handle a serious emergency of this kind is to complete the 2019-2020 season competitions this year," FIGC president Gabriele Gravina told state broadcaster RAI's Domenica Sportiva programme.
Remi Allen Like Baunach, Remi Allen stole the headlines with a late, late show as her Reading side snatched a point from the jaws of defeat on a frosty Friday night in Brighton. The hosts were 2-1 up and cruising towards a third WSL win of the season, but for chaos to ensue in a classic goalmouth scramble.
All things considered, we feel that backing a Nantes win is the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we're more than happy to do. Angers have lost 6 of their last 9 away matches and with Nantes so strong as hosts, we fancy them to run out 1-0 winners in this one; a scoreline by which 5 of their last 6 Ligue 1 home wins have come by.
We’re confident that Port Vale will win this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. The hosts head into the game as the form favourites but both teams are playing well at this moment in time and we don’t believe there will be much between the pair at the final whistle.
Sevilla were very productive in the last league matches before the league was stopped scoring 10 goals in the last 4. However, they also conceded 2 goals in 3 of the last 4 matches and have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of the last 6 matches at home.
Peter Etebo joined Getafe on loan from Stoke in JanuaryHe told us how sad and how lonely he was feeling, especially because he is a young man who hasn't mastered the language yet. I also felt a bit guilty in his case because just before the lockdown he asked me if he could go back to Nigeria and I told him he couldn't. The club had informed me that everyone should stay where they were and that no-one could leave because no-one knew when we would have to return.
