Aston Villa on the other hand seem to be suffering from a Carabao Cup semi-final victory hangover. It took them far too long to get going. The Villans had better understand quickly that EFL Cup success is not a solution to Premier League survival. Did you know? Since Ake joined Bournemouth for his first spell there in the summer of 2016, he has scored 11 Premier League goals - the most of any centre-back.
Discussions will include Euro 2020 which is due to take place in 12 European countries, including Italy, from June 12 to July 12. Gravina said he hoped that Serie A could finish by June 30, although he did not rule out extending it for another month. He also suggested that Italian clubs should not train for the time being.

There were things we could have done better today, but my support is with the team. I thought we were very harshly treated. Burnley are now up to eighth - a position that could result in a Europa League spot should Manchester City's ban from Champions League football be upheld. Clarets continue upward trajectory Media playback is not supported on this device Burnley boss Sean Dyche believes VAR is 'a work in progress' after controversial calls Burnley's recent turnaround in form has been stunning.
Sean Dyche's team have won their last two away matches, those being at Old Trafford and St. Mary's respectively. Their last meeting with Newcastle was as recently as December, the reverse fixture in Burnley. That was a 1-0 victory for the home side, a scrappy match that we anticipate a repeat of this weekend.

The Warm-Up needs to be honest with you all for a moment. It didn’t watch the football last night. Any of it. This is a football column and, admittedly, this could be a problem. But sometimes it’s hard to focus on sport, even one as glorious as football. When you are literally having WhatsApp conversations with ageing relatives designed to try and improve their chances of avoiding a premature death; when the Prime Minister is telling the nation that, “many more families are going to lose loved ones before their time”; when you are keeping a mental note of how many packs of pasta you have left in your cupboard because the local supermarkets have totally sold out; when Iran is alleged to be digging mass graves to house coronavirus victims; the fact that Odion Ighalo has just scored for Manchester United becomes background noise.
A major characteristic of Leicester's excellent performances this season has been their robust defensive displays. Only runaway leaders Liverpool have conceded fewer Premier League goals than the Foxes in 2019/20, though Leicester are out on their own in the clean sheets stakes having kept their opponents off the scoresheet eight times already since August.
It is not so much their results that are the problem, it is the fact that when they do get beaten, they are usually absolutely woeful. It is a fact of life in football that when the other team are playing well and you're not, you have to stop them. And United just cannot do that.

Players would accept that. One player might say, 'I can afford a 30%'; another might say, 'I can only afford 5%'. Personally, I'd have no problem with some of us paying more. I don't think that would cause any dressing room problems. Whatever way you look at it, we're easy targets. What gets lost is that half our wages get taken by the taxman. Money that goes to the government, money that is helping the NHS.

HEROES AND ZEROS HERO - Jose Mourinho The Jose Mourinho charm offensive bandwagon rolled through the Burnley game on Saturday, where Jose Mourinho's Tottenham shoed the Clarets 5-0.

Playing at home has been a problem for La Viola, who've won none of their last three Stadio Artemio Franchi, two of which they've lost, and who've won only two out of seven on their own patch this term. They've scored a reasonable eight goals in seven home games, which is perhaps the biggest problem. A total of nine against isn't too bad, though it looks worse next to only eight scored.
Croatia 1. HNL, Round 31. Varazdin had a very difficult schedule in the last 3 rounds. In that period, they played against Rijeka and Hajduk, which are at the top of Croatian football. In those 3 matches, Varazdin won 7 points. Such a team deserves to stay in the first league. They are playing today against the last team on the table and I expect Varazdin to win easily.
English Premier league. Team Wolverhampton Wanderers will play at home stadium with team Norwich City. Hosts did 2 draws in league at last matches. Now they are coming after a victory in Europa League. Norwich City have the last place in the table. They didn't score at last 2 matches played. It is time to do it. They still keep chance to stay in Premier league for next season . So, they have a big motivation to get points today. My bet will be on Norwich City with AH +0.5. Hosts played midweek match in Europe League. They are not so fresh .
Referee Martin Atkinson gave the object - thrown from the Wolves end behind keeper Rui Patricio's goal - to fourth official Andre Marriner, who informed security. The incident happened after City had taken a 1-0 lead in an action-packed first half. Manchester City keeper Ederson was sent off and Sterling then had a penalty saved twice - a retake having been ordered after the video assistant referee punished encroachment from Wolves captain Conor Coady - but the City forward scored from the rebound on the second spot-kick.
Chelsea’s forward thinking Jadon Sancho and Wilfried Zaha are among the attacking options Chelsea are looking into as Frank Lampard looks to start spending his £150m transfer budget, the Telegraph reports. After their transfer ban was lifted, Chelsea are free to bring players in during the mid-season window next month, and while Borussia Dortmund do not want to sell Sancho in January, the Blues could move for Bayer Leverkusen’s Leon Bailey or Villarreal’s Samuel Chukwueze.
We got more into the game in the second half but that is not good enough for us. Barca midfielder Sergio Busquets said the team grew into the match and there were reasons to be positive in spite of the defeat. We attacked a lot more in the second half but we couldn't take our chances. We need to try and adapt to the ideas of the new coaching staff," he said.
Last-minute goals happen, unfortunately. We lacked some cunning. Many players are young, Boga for example left the field too quickly, he must learn to slow down," said De Zerbi. He denied trying to instil a bad attitude. That's football, it's like that," he said.

Diriangen have won four of their six home league games. Diriangen have kept five straight clean sheets at home. Ferretti have lost their last two away league games conceding six goals. Diriangen are fourth in the Nicaraguan Premier Division but have failed to win either of their last two games. They look to get back in winning ways with a home victory over fourth placed Ferretti.
The away team does not win often in matches, they have rarely been able to win in away matches. They have not won in their past 5 matches at this teams home ground either, also failed to score here the past 2 times. There is not much hope for the away team as they have not won here for 5 matches either. They have a lot of problems in this match being able to find any way of getting a draw or win. Home team have played to well to be slipping up in the match later in the week.

Ranger will against Atl Madrid in match UEFA Champion Youth. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals. Ranger have great result on last 4 match in UEFA Champion Youth due to Ranger always can make score minimal is 2 goals. Likewise Atl Madrid on last 5 match in UEFA Champion Youth also always can make score minimal is 1 goal. Therefore, my prediction this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals due to Ranger and Atl Madrid have average score is 2 goals in every match. Surely both team will make much score on this match.
On a more positive note, The Addicks were successful when last at this venue, while they avoided defeat prior to that too. However, their overall efforts at home this term haven't been great. Charlton have only won five out of 13 at The Valley, where they've conceded only two less than they've scored.
Video - Could isolation camps help finish Premier League season?05:41 And, according to Adam Crafton and David Ornstein, one of the solutions is apparently to finish the season in China. Yes, one Premier League club apparently expects that having successfully flatted their curve after containing their own outbreak, China would apparently welcome with open arms planes full of people from a country which, sadly, is nowhere near that scenario.

But, somewhat against the run of play, South Korean Son nodded home from point-blank range in the 79th minute to earn Tottenham a first victory in five league games. It was enough to push Jose Mourinho's stuttering side up to sixth place with 34 points from 24 games, six behind fourth-placed Chelsea who themselves have suffered a loss of form.
He later acknowledged a third meeting in 2017 after media reports of the encounter emerged. Lauber had his pay cut for a year after a watchdog found last month he repeatedly told falsehoods and broke a prosecutors' code of conduct in handling the probe. A fraud trial of three former senior German soccer officials and one Swiss over a suspect payment linked to the 2006 World Cup hosted by Germany has already started, but looks on the verge of collapse amid a coronavirus-mandated trial halt as a statute of limitation looms.

As yet, there is no confirmation from UEFA on new dates for the Champions League and Europa League finals but reports state that they will be played on June 27 and June 24 respectively. The virus has infected almost 180,000 people and killed more than 7,000 worldwide. The European championship is usually held in one or two host nations, but was spread around the continent this time in what organisers said was a romantic one-off event.
In a derby it is about adrenalin and atmosphere," added the Norwegian. The Old Trafford club trail City by 13 points in the league but did win 2-1 at Etihad Stadium in December, producing one of the best performances of Solskjaer's time as manager. City have finished above their neighbours - who are 13-time Premier League champions - in the table every season since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as United boss in 2013, winning the title three times - including the past two years under Guardiola.
