The indictment in February also accused the third man, described as "a businessman in the sports rights sector", of bribery over a 1. Valcke's company Sportunited LLC. Valcke has also been charged with falsifying documents, after Sportsunited's balance sheet listed those payments as loans. Valcke, who worked with former Fifa president Sepp Blatter from 2003 to 2015, has already been banned from football for 10 years for failing to cooperate with investigators over the resale of World Cup tickets and inflated expenses.
The Mail state that if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sticks with the Spaniard, Henderson could be looking at a third consecutive season on loan at Sheffield United next term. Paper Round's view: David de Gea is obviously a world-class goalkeeper. He's just struggling for form at the moment. United are in a position where they will be forced to make a decision when Henderson return from loan, as the 22-year-old won't want to sit on the bench as De Gea's deputy for a season.
CONFIRMED GOAL! Liverpool 0-1 Bournemouth (Wilson). That is how it should be. If the referee didn't rule it a push right in front of him, why change it. Either way it's very soft from Gomez. Wilson tapped in from close range after starting the move by squaring to Billings who set up Josh Fraser with a back heel and his ball across the six yard box was tapped home.
Man of the match - Nicolas Pepe (Arsenal) Arsenal's £72m man had a direct hand in three of their four goals'We have to turn draws into wins' - what they saidArsenal manager Mikel Arteta to BBC Sport: "After the break we started saying we had to start closing the gap on the top teams and turn draws into wins.

England international Abraham, who is Chelsea's top scorer this season with 11 goals in all competitions, sustained the injury after falling awkwardly in his team's 2-2 Champions League draw at Valencia last week. Although Abraham played down concerns over the injury, he missed Chelsea's 1-0 defeat by West Ham United last Saturday, with his replacement Olivier Giroud looking rusty.
Ever since Pep Guardiola left in 2012 after producing one of the most mesmerising teams in the game's history, Barca's style of play has been a subject of fierce debate, even as the club's silverware count has continued to rise. Concern that the team had abandoned its attacking philosophy led Barca to sack proven winner Ernesto Valverde in January and replace him with Quique Setien, who has never won a trophy but was seen to embody Barca's principles of possession football.
Well, Toby Alderweireld did exactly that. The way the defender swivelled in the opposition's penalty area and finished all in one move was absolutely sensational. At that moment the Belgium international looked more like a striker than a central defender. As for the own goal I wasn't entirely sure it was all Alderweireld's fault - especially after the look he gave keeper Hugo Lloris. I would be very interested to know what words were shared between them at half-time.
Barnsley clearly had Leeds worried and Bielsa removed winger Jack Harrison to put Patrick Stujik in a holding midfield position but chances continued to go the way of the visitors, as Sollbauer headed straight at Whites keeper Illan Meslier. A rare Leeds foray forward ended with Bamford forcing a great low stop from Jack Walton in the Reds goal and the keeper also denied Stuart Dallas a late second.

Weakened Burnley given a harsh lessonBurnley have now lost 5-0 on their past three visits to Manchester City in all competitions, but this defeat could have been even worse. The Clarets did not manage an effort at goal until Dwight McNeil lashed a free-kick into the empty stand behind Ederson's goal after 63 minutes, and that was the only time they came close to threatening a reply. There were mitigating circumstances for Burnley boss Sean Dyche, however.

I was shaking as I was about to go on," she recalled. I was really nervous. I was getting ready to make sure that, if I got an opportunity, I took it with both hands.

Leverkusen's finishing problems are evident in their lack of a high goalscorer. Leverkusen's top Bundesliga goalscorer this season is currently Kevin Volland, who has scored just five goals this season. They seem like a team in need of a top centre-forward. We feel that this could hurt them again in this game.

Famalicao impressed in their first season in Portugal primeira after they got promoted last season, they are on third place on the table with 30 points earned and they won 4 games in a row at home so I surely expect from them to beat maritimo today also because on the other side maritimo is in Bad shape and on the road this season they scored just 5 goals omon 7 games and I think it is pretty realistic they Will not score in this game so I take this handicap and I hope for 2 0 or 3 0 win for famalicao
Paderborn's poor Bundesliga away form has unquestionably contributed to their disappointing start to the season. They will be going into Friday's game having earned just one point from their previous five Bundesliga away games. Having failed to win a single game as of this game week, they have got the Bundesliga's poorest away record.
Kane is ruled out until April with a hamstring tendon injury that requires surgery and Mourinho is also without midfielders Moussa Sissoko and Tanguy Ndombele while goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is still out following elbow surgery. Tottenham have won only once in their last four league games after initially enjoying a bounce when Mourinho replaced sacked Mauricio Pochettino -- hardly encouraging with the Liverpool juggernaut heading to north London.
We do see a threat that certain programmes will shut down or not see the same attention as before.

I believe they have got enough of that, although it was obviously hard for their attacking players to shine on Sunday. Villa were trying to get out and get forward themselves but it was very difficult for them because City's high press meant they either went long quickly and gave the ball away like that, or lost it in their own half.
I was totally unimpressed with Lori having a bet on them to win last round against Alashkert at home and I see them coming into this game with poor morale and their short keeper conceded another weak goal the 2nd goal scored by Alashkert with a long shot but high shot near the center of the goal which the keeper could only push in the back of the net. And given the fact that Lori also did not really create any threat in attack to the Alashkert defense I am really puzzled why they should be so big favorites to be winning this game as their defense was really poor in that last game.

Manchester United’s resurgence comes at a bad time for Everton, although the Toffees will head to Old Trafford with their heads held high after their 3-1 victory over Chelsea last weekend. That hosting of the Blues saw Duncan Ferguson take charge on a temporary basis, and he’s set to take the reins at a second match on Sunday.

After a 4-0 defeat at Bayern Munich and 3-3 home draw with Paderborn in league action, as well as a 3-1 loss at Barcelona in the Champions League, it's fair to say Dortmund had been coming under pressure in recent weeks. Nonetheless, back to back wins away at Hertha Berlin and at home to Dusseldorf now have things back on the right track and confidence restored.
Liverpool do not "feel, think about or mention" the Premier League title, despite opening up a 13-point lead at the top, says manager Jurgen Klopp. The Reds demolished second-placed Leicester 4-0 and now hold the joint-biggest advantage in Premier League history after the Boxing Day fixtures. It is just a game against a really good football team," said Klopp. It is not about deciding whatever you are thinking about before it is decided.

Plenty of people in Liverpool had forgotten they even existed. The grand planMoving to the West Cheshire League, South Liverpool started to do well again, climbing steadily from the third division in 2012 into the top division. But, without floodlights at their North Field home, further progression was impossible. Construction of the nearby Jericho Lane soccer hub changed that. South Liverpool were invited in as a key tenant, played their first matches there in January 2019 and immediately saw the possibilities.

Martin Dubravka saved well from N’Golo Kante in the first half, while Matt Ritchie cleared off the line from Tammy Abraham in the second.
Fürth sit 6th place in the Standings. Sandhausen sit 10th. But Sandhausen defeated Hannover recently. In last 5 games, Sandhausen has been undefeated in 4 games. In home, Furth won only one of the last 4 games and should also have problems here. Fürth made a 1-1 draw in the last game in Darmstadt, a well-deserved point. At home the team has a record of 7-2-5, so not really good either, despite a total of 6th place in the table. Sandhausen has an away record of 3-5-6. Remained three games undefeated and also remained twice without conceding a goal and the Sandhausen can be trusted to secure a point in Fürth, especially since Sandhausen won first leg. Moreover 3 of the last 5 direct meetings between the two teams result in a draw.
Both of those wins came by a single goal and I think this one will be by an identical margin, to put even more distance between them and the teams at the bottom.

Sheff Utd v NorwichNorwich have had a good week, beating Leicester in the league then getting past Tottenham in the FA Cup. It shows the Canaries are still fighting and will give them confidence too.

Video - Klopp: You can't break records just because you want to01:10 "They did exactly what they wanted to do, we did not. That's how football works," he is quoted as saying by the BBC. The first half was a tough one, a lot of second balls, running here and there, we had the ball a lot but we didn't come in the right positions to cross, the right positions to finish, against a really good, organised side, with a top set-up for this game.

Christian Gourcuff's Nantes have been quietly going about their business this season with them currently sitting 5th despite little to no buzz about them at the start of the campaign. They've lost just two of their last six league games with three wins in there for good measure. Their most recent league game was a 2-1 loss in the derby to Angers but they bounced back in their first game of 2020 by beating Aviron Bayonnais in the Coupe de France.
Adama Traore was the sole bright spark, supplying all of Wolves' best moments in open play. According to media reports, Traore was sounded out over pursuing a career in the NFL while at Barcelona.

Juventus have certainly found their feet under Maurizio Sarri, with the hosts winning 13 of their last 14 matches.
So it was perhaps no surprise when they left London with a 1-0 lead. In Amsterdam things went from bad to worse for Tottenham. With no Harry Kane up front, they were facing a mountain in the lowlands when Matthijs de Ligt and Hakim Ziyech made it 3-0 on aggregate before half-time. Spurs needed a miracle and Lucas Moura duly provided one. The forward scored twice in the space of four minutes to leave the visitors needing one goal to go through, and after Jan Vertonghen had headed against the post, Moura drove in low to complete his hat-trick and book an all-English final against Liverpool.
