Italian Carlo Ancelotti was named Everton's new manager an hour before kickoff while Mikel Arteta, who has swapped being Guardiola's number two at the Etihad to return to former club Arsenal as the boss, sat close by. Neither will have been encouraged by what they saw. Arsenal, in 11th spot, again failed to spark under interim manager Freddie Ljungberg who will make way for Arteta, having won only one of his six games in temporary charge.

However, the Saints’ home form has been a real problem this season, epitomised by their 9-0 humiliation at the hands of Leicester in October. They have won just two Premier League home games, and these both came against teams struggling at the bottom of the table (Norwich and Watford). They may be improving, but they still couldn’t stop 17th placed West Ham taking three points off them in their last home match.
English Football League chairman Rick Parry has said the current season needs to be concluded before 31 July and that clubs face a "£200m hole" by September. The former Liverpool chief executive admitted the EFL needed a "proper reset post-Covid", with clubs currently "stacking up creditors". Parry said it was "difficult to answer" how many might go out of business. He was giving evidence to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee about the impact of coronavirus.
The Coppa Italia semi-final second leg at Napoli on Thursday is their latest match to have been called off. Closing doors but continuing matches is the right thing to do," Zhang told BBC Sport. Serie A games may be played behind closed doors - Italy's sports ministerCoronavirus: How the virus has impacted sporting events - timelineZhang, 29, was born in Nanjing, a city of over eight million people in eastern China, and has seen how his native country has gone about trying to tackle the coronavirus.
This can be considered also as a bet against Nurnberg, they played well at St. Pauli till their keeper got sent-off and received late the only goal of the game to lose 1-0. Second game a few days ago at home with Aue which has just 1 win all season long on the road, they were 1-0 down, and only lucky that an Aue player scored an own goal to draw 1-1 in the end., So really modest results from them and cannot be proud that in their two games so far their only goal was actually an own goal.
But if you want to go in the direction of the numbers, Harry and Sonny score the majority of goals that Tottenham score. So yes, not for me, or my achievement, but collectively, this group of boys, if they manage to finish in fourth without Harry and Sonny it would be incredible. Based on a Premier League form table since Mourinho took over, only Liverpool and Manchester City have collected more points than Tottenham in the last 14 games.
Read the full story Uproar over coronavirus pay-cuts Premier League players are set to revolt over proposed wage cuts, according to the Daily Mirror. While footballers are committed to philanthropic efforts during the coronavirus crisis, they would prefer to make direct contributions to charity themselves but feel that clubs are trying to force them into signing contracts that radically reduce their wages indefinitely, rather than for the duration of the crisis.
Today is my sixth Ballon d'Or. It's a completely different moment, lived with my family and my children," Messi said. As my wife said, you must never stop dreaming but always work to improve and continue to enjoy. I am very lucky, I am blessed. I hope to continue for a long time. I realise that I am very lucky, even if, one day, retirement will ring. It will be difficult. But I still have beautiful years ahead of me.
The Premier League season is set to restart on 17 June with Aston Villa v Sheffield United and Manchester City v Arsenal, the BBC has learned. The matches are the two games in hand. A full fixture list would then be played on the weekend of 19-21 June. Clubs are still discussing the idea at a meeting on Thursday, but it is understood all have agreed in principle at this stage. There are 92 fixtures still to play.
We have done great to qualify after four games and it gives us an opportunity to give game time to experienced lads who need it," Solskjaer continued. Axel (Tuanzebe), Luke (Shaw), Jesse (Lingard). It's a great chance to give (36-year-old goalkeeper) Lee Grant his first start for the club. It's hard to give young kids games against men.
Unlike basketball or football players, tennis players aren't covered by fixed annual salaries. They're independent contractors," he said. They're paying for their travels. They're paying fixed salaries to their coaching staffs, while their own salaries depend on the number of matches they win.

These teams have been the worst ones of this League in the first 2 rounds of this season, considering that they have both lost their 2 games, however Gorodeya has been certainly worse than Belshina: the visitors have been the only team to have scored no goal at all yet, conceding 3 total goals in their matches vs Vitebsk and Soligorsk. Belshina has conceded one goal more than them, but they have at least scored once so far, so I think they could be favorite in this home clash. Belshina has won a friendly game vs Gorodeya few weeks ago, so I will bet on them today.
They have confirmed they will contest the European governing body's decision. I repeat, it's not finished," Guardiola told BBC Sport. It's not over, we appeal and see what happens. Guardiola confirmed after Wednesday's Premier League victory against West Ham that he would remain at the club regardless of the outcome of the appeal and that the "truth will prevail". The 49-year-old Spaniard joined City in 2016 after winning seven trophies in three years at Bayern Munich and to date has captured successive Premier League titles, plus the FA Cup and the League Cup twice, with the chance to complete a hat-trick in next month's final against Aston Villa.
Players should follow the news, it adds, but not too much. Avoid reading everything on COVID-19 in the news or on social media because this can unnecessarily amplify stress or worry," it says. Some national players' unions, meanwhile, have set up hotlines to help their members. Baer-Hoffman said women players might struggle more as their living conditions were often inferior to those of male players.
“Arsenal” for some reason flew out of the Europa League, although this was their only chance to break into European competition for the next season. Now Artist will have to throw all her strength into the English Premier League so as not to completely fail the second part of the season. But with Mikel, Londoners have already forgotten what defeats are in the domestic arena, so we can say that everything at the “Gunners” is normal. Though not as fast as the fans would like.
They were fortunate to beat Chelsea 2-1 last week and before the international break struggled past a Southampton side crushed 9-0 at home by Leicester City. The zip has gone out of their passing and despite having 77 percent of possession and 24 attempts at goal against Newcastle on Saturday, they were bogged down for long periods with Riyad Mahrez and Gabriel Jesus, who were both substituted, ineffective.

Yet things turned sour as results declined and Mourinho was shown the door last December. The 56-year-old former Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid manager re-surfaced two weeks ago when he took over at Tottenham in the wake of Mauricio Pochettino's sacking. After three successive wins he takes the Londoners to Old Trafford in buoyant mood.
Immelman: November masters presents different challenges Former Masters champion Trevor Immelman believes the famous Augusta Court would present a different set of challenges should the event be played in a mooted rescheduled slot in November. If you look at the golf course in a bubble, I think the course itself won't play all that differently.

As replays were watched the picture developed, but it wasn't until after the game when I learned that an "outside agent" on the field didn't have to be a person. Another weird one was Graham Poll failing to send off Croatia's Josip Simunic until showing him a THIRD yellow card against Australia at the 2006 World Cup. As he showed the second without a red to follow, I knew something was amiss, but desperate looks for agreement from those around me drew only shrugged shoulders.
I have a feeling this might be the last football match that takes place in the country for a good while," he said. Sinclair said his wife had decided against coming to the game due to concerns about catching the virus but said he had practiced 'social distancing' at the match. I’ve read the government advice so I have tried to put myself with empty seats around me and I moved once," he said.
I think that is where the challenge will lie. There could be certain things that are prohibitive. That's probably more specifically with regards to testing. Everything else can be arranged or can be reviewed if time is on the side of the clubs, but if testing becomes an issue to be done however frequently and it can't be matched across all the clubs then yes there could be a difference. But again the EFL chairman and medical adviser have stressed that it has to be agreed by the clubs and so I don't think they will impose anything on us without us at least having a say in that matter.
When Mohamed Salah wrapped up Liverpool's 2-0 win against Manchester United on Sunday, the first team-mate to congratulate him was Alisson. The goalkeeper sprinted from one end of the ground to the other before sliding in front of Salah, celebrating his part in the decisive second goal. That's because it was from Alisson's assist that Salah scored. A goalkeeper assist is a rare thing at Liverpool, with this one the first in the Premier League since March 2010, when Pepe Reina assisted against Sunderland.
Zidane courts Mbappe ahead of PSG meeting Zinedine Zidane has re-stoked rumours Real Madrid will make a move for Kylian Mbappe ahead of Paris Saint Germain's trip to the Bernabeu in the Champions League. The La Liga side have long been linked with a move for the France World Cup-winner, and the manager was tickled into declaring his on-going affection for the player by reporters in the build-up to Tuesday's game.
In England, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace are expected to face each other in a Premier League match which will be held at Vitality stadium, Bournemouth city. In the table, Palace takes position 11 with 39 points after playing 29 matches while Bournemouth takes position 18 with 27 points after playing 29 matches.
Neither of these two teams have been particularly solid at the back this season. Werder Bremen have failed to keep a single clean sheet in the Bundesliga this season. They have conceded 29 goals in their 14 games. We don't fancy their chances of earning a first clean sheet at the Allianz Arena.

Espanyol are at the bottom of the table with 15 points, three away from the safe zone. The actual form is mixed, one win, one draw and one defeat on the last three league matches. They beat Villarreal, lost to Granada and shared the points with Athletic Bilbao. Corchia is out injured, while Espinosa and Victor Campuzano are rated as doubtful.
Rudiger was involved in an incident in which Tottenham's Son Heung-min was shown a red card and indicated shortly afterwards that he had been the victim of a monkey gesture from the home section of the crowd. However, Spurs and the Metropolitan Police said they had found no evidence of racial abuse. Racism has won.
If anything, it has increased my ambition," Taylor tells BBC Sport. I take things head on. Just go for it. Don't be scared. Man Utd's Taylor gets first senior call-up following chemotherapy Max Taylor played for Manchester United Under-23s against Sunderland at Old Trafford on 22 NovemberTaylor's world was turned upside down in June 2018, five months after he had signed his first professional contract.
What is a bad idea is making decisions now that may feel wrong three or four weeks down the line depending on where the pandemic goes from here. If we are fortunate, then in the next three or four weeks, the health service will be in a much better position and we will have more information about the situation, having worked through it. There are a variety of possibilities about what happens to the Premier League season but they are all completely and utterly dependent on timescale - if and when restrictions are lifted, and to what level.
We’re confident that Ajax will score over 3.5 team goals in Sunday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 4-0. Ajax have a great overall record against Sparta Rotterdam and have won the pairs’ last six meetings, the three most recent encounters have seen Ajax score at least four goals on each occasion. Sparta arrive in poor form, despite that win over AZ, and we’re expecting another tough ninety minutes for the visitors on Sunday.
Newcastle United can still act now and provide much needed support and relief for their fans that are in financial difficulty due to this global emergency. It is understood the supporters affected were warned in advance that payment would be taken, and that it was the usual payment schedule for those who are on the long-term, price-freeze package. However some Premier League clubs including Brighton, have offered "payment holidays" for season ticket holders in order to ease the financial burden on their fans.
Victory would see Liverpool extend their lead at the top to 11 points over Leicester, who host Norwich at 3pm on Saturday, Three points would also take Liverpool a staggering 17 points above third-placed Manchester City, with the defending champions heading to Arsenal on Sunday. There are no guarantees in the Premier League, but Liverpool will be heavy favourites to dispatch Watford, while City will know they are coming up against an Arsenal side desperate to climb back up the table.
But for Fernandes, the opportunities dried up. He did not start any of those 19 games, coming off the bench 10 times and remaining an unused substitute the other nine occasions. This season, Fernandes has been used in a wide variety of positions, but he has failed to hold down a starting spot with Lage not featuring the 20-year-old in the league or Europe since November.
The Italian giants had a strong enough squad to take their Champions League push down to the final day of the group. They will expect to negotiate the early rounds of the Coppa, having won 14 of their 19 Serie A games this term. They’ve already claimed a win at Cagliari, with the visitors losing each of their three league clashes with the top three.
Granada's status as favourites for this Matchday 17 contest is obvious for the reasons outlined, but we think the bookies are dangling a real carrot by offering up Diego Martinez' side at a touch of odds-against.
A journalist added a comment to the letter, saying that Inter have "thrown away the Champions League and maybe the rest too" by loaning striker Mauro Icardi to French side Paris St-Germain. The journalist added: "No Icardi, No Party". Earlier this month, Roma, along with Inter's rivals AC Milan, announced they would not work with Corriere dello Sport until January in response to the paper using the headline 'Black Friday' accompanied by images of Romelu Lukaku and Chris Smalling.
It was one-way traffic though and soon Chelsea were seriously up against it when captain John Terry saw red for a knee in the back of Sanchez. Centre-half partner Gary Cahill had already gone off injured. Makeshift stuff. Messi then teed up Andres Iniesta to make it 2-1 on aggregate and Chelsea needed a goal. Ramires was the unlikely man to find it, a superb finish to lob Victor Valdes - all of this before half time.
We apologise to our player, the other players and the supporters for this lamentable act. Atletico were also criticised last month when six players from the women's team worked as ball girls during a men's match. The club said it had offered the players the same opportunity as it gave to members of the under-20 team.
Of course in this match it is clear which team is enormous favorite for the win and the only question is how many goals ajax Will score and I think the answer on that is at least 4 because Sparta is very good opponent for them and in head to head matches they scored 4 or more goals a lot of times in last couple of years and 4 goals could be enough for them to win with 4 goals difference but I even expect from ajax to score 5 goals and to secure this handicap which I surely recommend
But fans of Bournemouth, Watford and Aston Villa are preparing for a nerve-shredding day as their clubs look to avoid joining Norwich in the Championship. After a long slog of a season, three teams separated by three points, with almost identical goal difference, are left to battle for one Premier League place. Villa, who start the day outside of the bottom three on goal difference, visit a West Ham side who are now safe, 18th-placed Watford go to FA Cup finalists Arsenal, while 19th-placed Bournemouth are at mid-table Everton.
Campos was previously Mourinho’s assistant at Real Madrid. Not that Galtier appears concerned about losing him. Luis is 200% invested in the project and I don't see a 1000th of a wish to look elsewhere,” GaltIer said. We're close and looking forward. Unless, of course, he was being sarcastic. IN OTHER NEWS Before leaving Tottenham for one final time, and before seeing his legacy eradicated by Mourinho, Mauricio Pochettino found one last moment to write a farewell message to players and staff.
