So to Anfield, with both sides confident of doing the necessary; Liverpool will expect to play better, Atleti will expect to score, and everyone else will expect something serious. TALKING POINT Liverpool are still too dry in midfield. Jurgen Klopp knows Liverpool lack creativity in midfield; he tried to sign Nabil Fekir the summer before last - had the deal gone through, the likelihood is that Liverpool would have won the title - and now he has Takumi Minamino.
However, a couple of hours later all of that was rendered moot, when it emerged that Sturridge had actually been banned for four months – or the rest of the season – for breaching betting regulations. The instinctive reaction when this sort of thing happens is to have no sympathy, because betting on football is the one thing footballers know they absolutely shouldn’t do, but when you look at the details a little more closely, you do start to feel a little bit sorry for Sturridge.

So unless the situation worsens or there are new developments the 2019-20 English football season will be finished. DOES THAT MEAN LIVERPOOL WILL BE CHAMPIONS? Yes. Barring a historic collapse or, more likely, a complicating of the coronavirus situation. WHEN? Well Liverpool are 25 points clear and Manchester City have ten games left, so theoretically given the FA has said that the earliest we could resume is April 30 the earliest Liverpool could win the league is probably some point in early May.
We need to make sure there are proper reporting mechanisms, trained stewards in place, and police if necessary, and that when perpetrators are caught they are banned from football, which we are now seeing more regularly, as well as possible criminal proceedings.

Set up by Leyton Orient to raise money for worthy causes during this troubling time, the tournament started with 128 teams and now we're down to the last 32. Manchester City and PSV Eindhoven clash in one of the ties of the round. The tournament had a mixture of professional and amateur esport players and this game will see two pros going head to head.
All behind closed doors, of course. To begin at some unspecified time in the future, once it’s safe for groups of young athletes to gather together and kick lumps out of one another. The EFL’s letter reckons May 16 is the earliest training could get going, but warns that it could be later. That 56-day period includes the play-offs, but not, as far as the Warm-Up can tell, time for “pre-season” training.
Ahead of the clash, Norwich have 12 points and are placed 19th while Wolverhampton Wanderers have 24 points and are placed eighth in the standings. Norwich pulled a great result in their last game, drawing 1-1 with Leicester City to halt a two-match losing run but they are winless in their last four matches.
One of the reasons why odds are so big on the home win in this one although I do expect them to get lower by the start of the game is the fact that Real Madrid lost many points this season but remain 2nd in the league same number of points as the league leaders from Barcelona, while Sevilla given the many slip-ups from the top two are with 35 points just 5 points behind the top two clubs sitting on 4th place same number of points as Atletico Madrid.
The 31-year-old has long stated his desire to return to his native Argentina to finish his career, and he may elect to say farewell to English football when his current deal ends in 2021. Replacing a fan favourite who has been so pivotal to everything that City have achieved in recent years was never going to be easy, but Brazilian Jesus has so far performed impressively.
When you are 1-0 down with a team like this who only want this kind of result - 0-0 would have been good for them. ATLETICO TAKE FIRST LEG LEAD OVER LIVERPOOL He also believed that Atletico targeted Sadio Mane in order to get the forward booked, explaining: "He [Sadio Mane] was targeted. It was clear.
They got out of jail this time, but better teams would not let them off so lightly. MAN OF THE MATCH Giovani Lo Celso. The Argentine really makes Spurs ticks from deep, and presses into the tackle high and more often than not wins possession and quickly makes the transition to attack. Jose Mourinho has already discussed his desire to make the 23-year-old’s stay in north London permanent, and having put in another stellar showing, the Portuguese will be banging down Daniel Levy’s door sooner rather than later.
Interesting match will be played between Chateauroux and Niort, both sides struggling against relegation, host is four points above visitors at standings. Host has won in last round, at away against Rodez, finals result was 1-2, they scored a goal in last minutes of the match, despite the fact that they had a player advantage almost the whole match, they really have a problem with efficiency. Niort is in dangerous zone, and they are defeated in last five rounds in a row, Djigla and Sissoko will be in attack for visitors, but no doubt, visitors will be forced to look more on their defense than in attack.
Maccabi did play in the first league level till last season when they got relegated and in their last two games against Hapoel they lost with no less than 6-0 on the road and with 2-0 at home as well, and Hapoel is in the top 6 teams group at this fighting to play in the Europa League next season and there is no easier way for them than through this cup competition as they are already in the semis and face a 2nd league club which they have better quality players compared to.
Greece top league. Team Atromitos will play at home with team Larissa. Both teams are in the top of relegation group. And they are having any big motivation on this match. Hosts are coming after defeat 0-1. And my bet on guests with AH + 0.5. Team Larissa did a win in the last match played. Last h2h match between our teams was ended how 1-1 here . So, a draw is possible to see here. Guests don't play draw games in the last 4 games. I think this bet is a good way on this event. I recommend to try this bet with me !
Giorgian De Arrascaeta put Flamengo ahead after four minutes before striker Gabriel Barbosa, whose double won the Copa Libertadores last weekend, scored another brace with a goal either side of halftime.

Of course there is a risk, but on average one person infects two or three others," he has said. You therefore have a very low probability of infecting a large number of people in a stadium, or a rather higher probability of infecting people very close to you, and that means most of the transmission tends to takes place with friends and colleagues in close environments, not in the big environments.
The global soccer body also said it would encourage clubs and players "to work together to find agreements and solutions during the period when football is suspended" and the sport has to deal with an unprecedented loss of revenue.

As touched on above, we're going to see a very unfamiliar Liverpool line-up on Tuesday.

Premier League players have launched a "collective initiative" to help generate funds for the National Health Service and distribute them "where they are needed most". The initiative - named #PlayersTogether - has been set up to "help those fighting for us on the NHS frontline" amid the coronavirus pandemic. It has partnered with NHS Charities Together (NHSCT). Health Secretary Matt Hancock "warmly welcomed" the "big-hearted decision".
Conor Hourihane returned to the starting line up with a bang as Aston Villa comfortably beat Newcastle United on an unhappy return to Villa Park for Steve Bruce. After a month away from the team, the Irish playmaker laid on two wonderful free-kicks, scoring one and assisting Anwar El Ghazi with the other, as Villa returned to winning ways after three games without victory.
They met in a friendly game before this season restarted and to everyone's surprise it was Gorica who won the game, a game which had 5 goals scored total as they won it with 3-2 in the end, and they are coming after a 3-0 win away from home at Zapresic as they are very attacking minded oriented, they are safe from relegation in this ending of the season and looking to improve for the following season, and should play without fear here with the league leaders.

Manchester United for me are the in-form team in the league right now, and it's unwise to bet against them. Their performance against Tottenham was thrilling Even though they fell behind Early on, they came back to control the game in the 2nd half and almost won at the end.
The pattern has continued this season. Twice in 2019-20 the Clarets have lost three games in a row, but each time they have responded with successive victories. They have just taken 13 points from a possible 15, having lost four in a row before that. For every winner in football, though, there is a loser and as Burnley edged further up the table, Saturday's result plunged Bournemouth further into trouble.
