Freddie Ljungberg will take the reins again on Sunday, and it’s safe to say that this hasn’t been the most successful of interim appointments so far. They did manage to beat West Ham on Monday, but after their draw with Standard Liege on Thursday he has now won one, drawn two, and lost one of his four games in charge.
Many communities could lose the clubs at their heart with little chance of resurrection. In the face of this unprecedented adversity, all the stakeholders within the game from players, fans, clubs, owners and administrators need to step up and share the pain to keep the game alive. Taylor donates £500k Professional Footballers' Association chief Gordon Taylor has donated £500,000 pounds to the Premier League players' fund for the NHS.
Peterborough’s league games away from home average 3.2 goals per game with 3 of the last five featuring over 2.5 goals. Burnley have lost four of their last five matches at home. The Posh have one clean sheet away from home in 11 matches. Burnley welcome Peterborough to Turf Moor hoping for a run in the FA Cup after three straight Premier League defeats including the last two at this venue versus Manchester United and Aston Villa.
The manager had a fragile relationship with mercurial midfielder Xabi Alonso, the supply line for Gerrard and Fernando Torres, and it led Liverpool to sell him to Real Madrid in the summer of 2009. In another ill-judged move, Benitez replaced his compatriot with the easily breakable and mostly redundant or injured Italian Alberto Aquilani. I recall the sight of a concerned Benitez trying to reassure fans outside Anfield after an early-season home defeat by Aston Villa.
On Saturday, France striker Kylian Mbappe showed his frustration when he was replaced in the 70th minute of a 5-0 win against nine-man Montpellier. On Neymar's birthday, Tuchel added: "It gives the impression that we are not 100% focused and professional. But things are not either black or white. They become important when we talk about them a lot.

But, it's an obvious problem that you play a tournament in the middle of the season, although it makes more sense for Africa to play it in our winter when the weather is better for them - I get that. But we have absolutely no power - so if we did say 'We don't let him go', the player is suspended. If a player is injured and cannot play for us we have to send him to Africa and they have a look and in one or two weeks they are back.
The only other players to score 20 Bundesliga goals while still a teenager are Bayer Leverkusen forward Kai Havertz (24) - who is now 20 - and the long-retired Horst Koppel (24) and Olaf Thon (20). Dortmund - who were wearing a special black shirt to celebrate their 110th anniversary - moved up to third in the table, two points ahead of sixth-placed champions Bayern Munich, while Fortuna Dusseldorf dropped into the relegation play-off spot.

Just 253 people attended, compared to last year when Neman's games drew crowds of around 1,500 people. The league has proved an unlikely draw for fans overseas who are starved of matches in their own countries. In choosing to stay open, it took its cue from President Alexander Lukashenko, who has resisted imposing strict lockdown measures.
BANGKOK, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Head coach Graham Arnold believes Australia's qualification for Tokyo 2020 can lead to a resurgence in the country's football fortunes after his unfancied side overcame the odds to end a 12-year Olympic absence. A 1-0 win over Uzbekistan on Saturday, courtesy of a 47th minute goal from Nick D'Agostino, earned Australia a third place finish at the Asian Under-23 Championship and one of three spots available at the Games in Japan later this year.
With a record of one win, four draws and four defeats since the end of October, Sergio's men cannot be fancied for victory this weekend against an Osasuna side who have lost just twice in nine matches at home. Furthermore, the visitors' away record this season reads extremely poorly, with two wins, three draws and five defeats suffered from ten.
Dortmund are in impressive form at the German football season. After the last 3 matches, they get the maximum score. With this achievement, they are getting 39 points, they are temporarily ranked 3rd in the rankings. With the current Dortmund sublimation performance, it will be possible for them to get the 2nd or leading position. Because the difference in the current score is only 4 points. On the other side of the battle line, Frankfurt is also getting a pretty good performance. When present, Frankfurt temporarily ranked 9th place in the rankings. Considering the performance of the last 5 matches, Frankfurt are unbeaten in 5 matches. Including 4 wins and 1 draw.
Were you surprised that Dortmund won the race for his signature? A little bit, yes. The last days it seemed that Leipzig or United would get him. But we knew also that a lot of young players love to go to Dortmund because they are well known for working with talents and giving them a lot of opportunities to play on a high level.
Newcastle upped the pace after the break but Gayle's overhead kick from Miguel Almiron's cross and a Ritchie piledriver were the closest they came to breaking the deadlock. Chris Wood briefly livened up Burnley's challenge when he came on as a substitute but the man who had scored the winner in the corresponding fixture at Turf Moor in December was unable to earn Burnley their first league double over Newcastle for 59 years.
Olympic year, so women's football will be in the spotlight once more. Although the men's competition at the Games is for young senior players, the top female stars will all be hoping to be in action - winning Olympic gold has long been one of the biggest prizes on offer. Phil Neville will be leading a combined Team GB; Vlatko Andonovski's USA team will go to Japan as favourites yet again.
AZ average 2.38 points per home game this season and boast a 75% win rate in their own backyard. The hosts also only concede an average of 0.63 goals per home game, which suggests they are in with a good chance of keeping a clean sheet this weekend, despite the obvious talent of the opposition.

He hopes he can soon reveal his progress from working with social media to protect players. But he is also urging white players and fans to become activists too. All of the attention in football is on the high-profile incidents in the Premier League but mercifully, they're relatively few and far between compared to grassroots football where anecdotal evidence tells us that something happens every week," he says.
However, we are confident that Mainz will outscore Eintracht in this game. Mainz have scored at least two goals in four of their last six Bundesliga games. Meanwhile, Eintracht have scored under 1.5 goals in three of their last four competitive fixtures.
AZ haven’t lost in Group L yet, picking up wins against Astana and drawing twice against Manchester United and Partizan and only one of those four games have seen both teams score. Partizan have failed to score in their last two group games, both of which ended in defeat, and now they go up against an AZ Alkmaar side that have won each of their last six matches in all competitions without conceding a single goal. Both teams have scored in just two of Partizan’s last six matches, which is another reason we aren’t backing both teams to score on Thursday.
Dnipro currently on the coveted Europa League place, with Mariupol four points behind them. But Mariupol won only one of the last five games. Dnipro, on the other hand, won four of the last five games. The hosts messed up the cup semi-final against Poltava on Tuesday and are undefeated in 3 league games and sit eighth place. Dnipro is one place better with 4 points more on the account, after the winning streak of 4 games the team had to accept a defeat, I expect a close game and a draw at the end. Because A draw would be a happy result for the visitors.
Sanat Naft will host Foolad for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this league. True, the hosts are more ambitious team in this season. Sanat Naft are currently on the 4th place with 26 points. Also, the hosts are in better shape. They have 3 victories in their last 4 matches. Also, we have Foolad who's is a very unpredictable team in this season. I think, the visitors have the potential to provide a strong resistance.. In last game Foolad lost 1-0 against ambitious Tractor. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. I think, the hosts will try to make a positive result.
Everything went well” was an interesting reading of the match. And it’s one unlikely to be shared by Gerard Pique, who was turned into a human meme at one stage when Williams accelerated away from him and the Barca defender clung desperately to his shirt, being dragged along for a couple of metres before the referee issued him with his 15th (!) yellow card of the season.
We looked across at the linesman and he was running back to the halfway line. In recent years, especially with goalline technology, we would have been awarded the goal. I think the referee thought the linesman had flagged for a foul or offside, if we had got him across we would have got the goal. We just did not challenge it. David Elleray was one of the top referees in the country at the time and for him not to at least go and confer with his linesman was very disappointing.
Southampton have failed to win any of their last six matches against Burnley. None of Burnley's last seven away Premier League matches have featured both teams scoring. Southampton have only picked up one victory from their last five games in all competitions. Only goal difference separates Southampton and Burnley ahead of their Premier League clash at St.
Sadly, the subject of players being subjected to racist abuse will once again top the agenda, casting a cloud over Chelsea's deserved celebrations at the final whistle. Rudiger appeared to be the target after he was floored by Son's raised boot which earned the South Korea international a deserved red card just after the hour. Tottenham fans reacted angrily to Rudiger, who they felt over-reacted, even though he was clearly fouled.
Objectively commented, Znamya Truda is not a reliable choice in a friendly against Saturn Ramenskoye in the match tonight. In theory, this is a balanced match when both Znamya Truda and Saturn Ramenskoye are the teams playing in Russia's third division - but different from the region. But based on actual performance, Znamya Truda is completely inferior to the opponent.

Lugano meets FCK in EL on Thursday. This may be one of the most boring groups internationally, but we Scandinavians obviously think that this is the group that is most interesting when we have derby Malmö and FCK, and that both the teams are fighting for advancement. FCK leads the team, but it's tough and all teams have a chance to move on. Therefore, I think the Danes are quite happy with a stick here, because then you are guaranteed top two for the last match. It was even in the first meeting, so I cross here at 3.10 in odds.
That's an odd reason to say I'm not happy or satisfied - I want to stay. After winning back-to-back titles and smashing goals and points records along the way last year, Guardiola insists he is liking the "challenge" of this season. City broke the Premier League points record in 2017-18 when they became the first club in English top-flight history to reach 100 for the season. It took another 98 to edge out Liverpool last term.
Liverpool has been unstoppable and although Jurgen Klopp should make some changes on the squad for this match since this is a Cup contest, we expect Liverpool to present again a very competitive team. The Reds want to make history this season with incredible numbers in the league but also by winning the FA Cup and looking to win back to back titles in the Champions League. Everton is also a good team with very interesting players but it's impossible to go against Liverpool at the moment, which makes their -1.5 Asian Handicap the best line to take on this one.
