Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has called Edinson Cavani "a great player" after being linked with the Uruguay striker. The Blues can make signings this month after their transfer ban was reduced. Cavani, 32, is out of contract in the summer and has asked to leave French side Paris St-Germain after "an approach" from Atletico Madrid. He's a great player; I played against him and always loved his mentality and attitude, and his scoring record speaks for itself," said Lampard.
Maguire said they must cut out the poor performances if they are to finish in the top four and secure Champions League qualification. We have played two good games and one bad game, and it has not been good enough in terms of that," he added. If we put a few wins together on the bounce, we will have every chance.
Southampton have won just one of their last 12 home evening kick-offs (7pm or later) in the Premier League (D4 L7), beating Fulham 2-0 in February. Meanwhile, Away from home, Norwich are winless in their last 14 evening Premier League matches (D5 L9) since beating local rivals Ipswich 2-1 in September 1994. Both sides have four points from two, but only two wins in the 12 games before that. As a result, a 2-2 draw is our correct score pick.
The focus will now turn to how we get football up and running again safely as soon as possible," he said. Nobody should be under any illusion as to how complicated and difficult a challenge it will be to return Scottish football to normality. The decision was taken by the SPFL board after a controversial April vote - backed by 81% of clubs - granted them the power to do so should they deem the 49 outstanding games unplayable.

If they get anywhere near the Premier League record of 18 straight wins, set in 2017-18 by Manchester City, or the recent 17-game run by Liverpool, which was ended at Old Trafford in October, then we really will be in title-talk territory. But with successive home games coming up against struggling Everton and Watford then a trip to Villa that is followed by Norwich's visit to the King Power, they look to have a decent chance of extending their fine form.
Tallinna Kalev is much of a weaker side than Trans Narva, but there is a great chance they will hold to a 0 x 2 result. Today we saw the unthinkable happen in Meistriliiga when Tulevik has beaten Paid with the odds over 16, yes that's a fact! Maybe the weaker sides got motivated watching that to happen, we never really know. Past results for the match in question are normally under 3.5 goals as it happened last time here at Kalev's 0 x 3. At the price of 1.91, there is quite a good value for this bet. 0 x 2 is my guess
Pordenone has got 46 points after 30 matches and is temporarily ranked 6th on the standings. This achievement helps them to be safe enough in the top 8 so far, Pordenone still has the opportunity to compete for a ticket to play directly in Serie A when only 2 points behind Crotone is 5 points while there are still 7 more matches to finish. But their recent form is really not good, since coming back after a long 3-month break, Pordenone has not been able to get their first win and most recently they also lost 0-3 to the opposing team. Last is Trapani. If not quickly regained its form, Pordenone is easily knocked out of the top 8.
They are extremely consistent - far more so than most of the teams immediately around them. It has helped to keep them in the top half since August and put them right in the race for European football. For a promoted team not only is that consistency outstanding, it is also quite unusual. I take my hat off to them.
Atalanta have had to play their Champions League home games at the San Siro stadium, in Milan, as their own stadium did not meet Uefa requirements. They average 17,600 at home but over 40,000 - a third of the city's population - made the 37-mile trip from Bergamo to Milan for the first leg against Valencia on 19 February, a drive that normally takes 40 minutes took three hours. Back in Bergamo, a city where every newborn is sent free milk and an Atalanta shirt by the club, they gathered in homes and bars to watch La Dea's biggest ever match.
The paper reports that City think Arsenal led the way for seven other clubs to contact the Court of Arbitration for Sport to insist that City's ban be enforced even if the coronavirus pandemic causes a delay in hearing City’s appeal.

We need military to help' - McGregor makes plea to Ireland Former UFC champion Conor McGregor has urged the government of Ireland to deploy the military in support of the police to ensure the public complies with coronavirus control measures.
He is the top scorer in Europe's top five leagues, with his nearest competitor 10 goals behind. He said after this week's quadruple he is "addicted to scoring goals" - and now the 31-year-old will have his eye on Lionel Messi's record for most goals in a single season. Could Lewandowski break Messi's record?It is not even December and Lewandowski is well on his way to beating his previous best in a single season - the 43 he managed for Bayern in 2016-17.
EB/Streymur were second to last in the league last season but were not relegated because the top 3 teams in the second league were reserve teams. Last season they lost 10 of the 13 matches at home. They also started this season with a defeat.
Arsenal played a young, changed but pretty strong team for their trip to Fratton Park in the FA Cup, and that was reflected in the overall performance and indeed result, as they strolled past their League One opponents with a little more ease than the 2-0 scoreline suggested. Sokratis Papstathopoulos and Eddie Nketiah got the goals, as Mikel Arteta’s side recovered from the funk that overcame them in the Europa League last week to win this one with ease.

I said I probably regretted the way the message [came over]. By praising others for certain attributes, there was criticism for Chris. It was my fault and it was unfair on him. I think he's done well in Italy. We're watching everybody because we've got to make sure we make the right decision. I spoke to him when I left him out the squad and explained what I explained to everybody.
It was a weird atmosphere and the boys were so focused and created their own atmosphere and I think the camaraderie and the team spirit was there to see," Solskjaer told BT Sport. It's not to recommend (football behind closed doors) but I have to praise the boys because they did fantastic. Olympiakos, who knocked out Arsenal in the previous round, had centre back Ruben Semedo sent off in the 28th minute for a last-man foul but Youssef El Arabi fired them ahead in the 54th with a close-range finish.
Brentford can batter lots of team at this level, though it's not easy to see them walking all over Fulham, who're yet to suffer a heavy defeat away from home. That said, the attacking efforts of The Bees at home have been superior to those of The Cottagers on the road, so a low-key home win, in the form of 'Brentford to Win & Under 3.5 Goals' looks a good choice. Brentford will have to work hard to get three points, but they've got the extra attacking quality to do so. In contrast, the visitors have often struggled because of a lack of forward penetration on the road.
The home team have seen under 2.5 goals in 4 of their past 5 matches and with their last match being higher scoring things to could turn back to lower scoring instantly. They are not really big attacking team the home team and have not really been a team to get a big number of shots on target in their matches. The away team have been a little bit of the same and could find this a match hard to score in. Both teams play a style of football which is nearly the same but do not have the chances to score big at times.
This week he is up against Serge Pizzorno, from indie rock band Kasabian. Serge (left) and bandmate Tom Meighan are both Foxes fans - the band played at the club's title-winning parade in 2016, and had a gig at the King Power Stadium that summerSerge is a lifelong Leicester supporter and it is no surprise to learn which moment he picks out as his greatest as a fan. He told BBC Sport: "When we beat Derby 2-1 in the play-offs and Steve Walsh scored a couple [in the Championship final in 1994], that was a special day.
It marked a 14th win for Canada in 14 meetings against Costa Rica, but the victors were made to earn their Tokyo ticket as their opponents, ranked 37th, came out determined to end their losing streak. Canadian captain Christine Sinclair was kept in check by the Costa Ricans after becoming the all-time top scorer in international soccer in the tournament opener, breaking the mark held by American Abby Wambach when she netted twice in an 11-0 rout of St.
Hull City will host Charlton Athletic for this fixture of the league. Both teams are one of the outsiders in this season. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. Also, both teams have a poor results in the last matches. Hull City have four consecutive losses. In any case, the hosts have real chance to break the poor series. On the other hand Charlton is also vulnerable team. They have 3 losses in a row. After all, I expect another one tough match for both sides. In any case, the hosts must go to the victory. They will be very careful.
GOAL! Carles Perez scores after Griezmann drills the ball into the box aimed at Vidal and he and Godin battled for the ball which ricocheted into the path of the young striker who made no mistake. Good stop by Neto. Martinez takes a speculative ball down brilliantly jumping and stretching out his left foot and then drills a shot in that the reserve keeper pushes away at his near post.

Stand-in striker Aboubakar Kamara scored twice as Fulham overcame Queens Park Rangers to move up to fourth in the Championship table. Kamara, brought in to replace suspended top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic, coolly took his chances after Rangers stunned the hosts with an early goal. The visitors pressed high from the start and were rewarded for their attacking approach to the west London derby when Jordan Hugill forced the ball over the line from close range after Todd Kane's cross was parried into his path by goalkeeper Marek Rodak.

We’re confident that both teams will score on Sunday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Tranmere. The hosts have the edge as they are a League One side full of professional footballers that have the home advantage this weekend, but Tranmere have struggled this season, don’t keep many clean sheets, and often go behind in matches. Chichester City are enjoying a positive season and could push for promotion and will be buoyed by the fact that this match is being televised and the fact that nobody expects them to win which should make for an entertaining and competitive ninety minutes of FA Cup action.

I think it's important you show respect to all the people at the club whatever your role is, and I think we have shown real good togetherness by doing this. Rangers said some of their employees would be furloughed due to "extraordinary challenges" from the crisis but would continue to receive their full salary through "top up" assistance from the club.
FAVRE PRESSURE Borussia Dortmund coach Lucien Favre's position seems far from secure after they had to come back from three goals down to draw 3-3 with promoted Paderborn, with club boss Hans-Joachim Watzke emphasizing football is a results-based business. Lucien you continue to have our trust," said Watzke, addressing the coach in a club members' meeting.
Rangers began their Scottish Cup campaign with a routine victory over Stranraer at Ibrox to ease into the fifth round. Scottish League One's bottom club held out until Scott Arfield poked home on the cusp of half-time. Jermain Defoe doubled the lead from the spot as Rangers, showing seven changes from their Old Firm derby triumph, made a winning return from the winter break. Steven Gerrard's side are the first club into Sunday's last-16 draw.
What I like about this game is that both sides finished high in the league last season with Rennes playing in the Europa League where they defeated Lazio this week with 2-0 at home but could not finish higher than 4th place in the end, while Lyon played in the Champions League group stage where they won a point with Leipzig this week at home in a 2-2 draw and qualified to the latter stage from 2nd place ahead of Zenit and Benfica.
Best pick for this Cup mach Italy between this two great teams Napoli and Juventus the best pick for this much is the pick I play at the mach now a pick over from 2.25 goals and can for this my pick look a new great win from new 9 points if we see this three goals at the mach what be the best new chance for this my play. I look see a best match from boat teams and a best new win from this home team where we look this best play and the best result in first match.
SGSA chief executive Martyn Henderson said: "Our research is providing new insights into the positive impact that installing seats with barriers can have on crowd safety. The research is ongoing and we will publish the final report at the end of season. In the meantime, we will work closely with the Government on the implementation of its manifesto commitment to introduce safe standing. What's the background?Standing in English football's top two tiers is illegal after recommendations made following the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, which resulted in the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans.
Each of Burnley's last 4 home games have produced over 2.5 goals. Burnley have four losses and two wins in the last six home league games. Eight of the last 10 games between the two sides have ended in an odd number of goals Arsenal have 11 straight wins over Burnley. Arsenal have scored in 13 of their last 15 matches.
Along with the likes of Eddie Nketiah, Joe Willock and Nicolas Pepe, supported by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Arsenal might not be looking at mid-table mediocrity after all. Did you know? Saka's goal was his first in the league for Arsenal. Aged 18 years 303 days, he is the second-youngest English player to score in the Premier League for the Gunners, after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain against Blackburn in February 2012 (18 years 173 days).
Five others scored in their milestone match - Sol Campbell, Teddy Sheringham, Robbie Keane, Jermain Defoe and Christian Eriksen. The goal was also Kane's ninth against West Ham, meaning he is the fourth player to score at least 30 Premier League goals in London derbies (Thierry Henry, Teddy Sheringham and Frank Lampard complete the list). And if Kane does reach 200 goals, he would become just the third player in Premier League history to do so, following in the footsteps of Alan Shearer (260) and Wayne Rooney (208).

However in January last year, Vitoria was sacked after Benfica suffered their third league defeat and exited the Champions League at the groups stages. Bringing in Bruno Lage paid off for the Portuguese giants, who won 18 of their following 19 league games, drawing the other, to reclaim the title. But for Fernandes, the opportunities dried up.
Another interesting match for next morning and this one is from elite league in Indonesia, where I hope that we can see at least three goals, what is pretty real. So, Bali United is interesting team who is lost in last match against Ceres Negros, even 4-0, while Madura United is coming in this match after 0-0, 4-0, 2-1, 2-4 and 0-1 in last five duels in league. For me, with this form of this two rivals and with this excellent odds of 1,85 it is pretty ok and real to try. I will take this bet earlier, surely. It is real.

No-one had been talking about our lack of goals at any point this season, so it is opportunistic to start talking about it now," defender Sergio Ramos told a news conference ahead of their last-16 first leg game at home to City. Real's problems in attack are well expressed in their list of goalscorers.
Salah: Two goals against an outclassed Brighton has put Salah back in contention for the coveted Golden Boot award. At the moment the trophy is contested by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Jamie Vardy, Danny Ings and Salah. The Egypt international looked desperate to get his hat-trick against the Seagulls and should have done when he missed a sitter in the final minutes. Liverpool played this game as though the title was still at stake.
Read the full story Big Premier League clubs want 3pm TV ban thrown out The Daily Mail runs with a story that suggests that the big six teams in the Premier League - Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs, presumably - want to be able to sell the rights to their Saturday 3pm games for the next round of broadcast rights sales, affecting the 2022-2025 period.
Virgil van Dijk (six) and Divock Origi (five) are the only others to hit five or more. Eleven other players managed to score, with three own goals too. The top assisters will not surprise you - Trent Alexander-Arnold (17) and Andrew Robertson (13) are the two players to set up 10 or more goals. Liverpool's top Premier League scorers in this unbeaten run.
Bayern had the better chances – by far the better chances – and Sheringham’s equalising goal could have been sped up and accompanied by the Benny Hill theme. But there’s no point receiving luck if you don’t know how to ride it, and the way United won the game was entirely consistent with the personality and achievements of that particular team.
