Prospect of return as BAME player 'frightening' - Charlton's PratleyA conference call took place on Wednesday between the league, players, medical staff and the Professional Footballers' Association - the players' union - to discuss 'Project Restart'. On Thursday, the government said it was "opening the door" for the return of professional football in England in June. The Premier League hopes for a return to action on 12 June, with matches played behind closed doors.
One thing we are expecting is a lack of clean sheets. Norwich, for all their faults, have only failed to score once at Carrow Road this season. However, they are yet to keep a clean sheet there, and the visiting Sheffield United have found the net in all but one of their away games. The Blades’ are undoubtedly a defensively solid side, but even they have only kept two clean sheets on the road this season, so backing Both Teams to Score looks a great shout on Sunday.
These Madrilenian giants often serve up closely run affairs, and we expect more of the same this weekend after four draws in the last six derbies, including a 0-0 stalemate at Wanda Metropolitano in La Liga earlier this season. Both teams are in excellent form, and neither can be opposed over the 90 minutes here.
We feel that Hertha's recent upturn in form is likely to make Saturday's game tough for title challengers Monchengladbach. We feel that this is likely to be a tightly contested fixture. We predict that a 1-1 draw is a likely outcome of this fixture.
Furthermore, there is nothing left for him to prove in Germany – he has literally won everything including the World Cup and the Champions League. HOW MUCH WOULD HE COST? He may well be in the last year of his contract but it would still cost £30 to £40 million to secure his services. His high wage demands could prompt Bayern to consider an offer in that region.
But he has warned there was a "significant risk" of the virus becoming more widespread, meaning further measures might become necessary. The coronavirus, which originated in China, has spread to more than 60 countries and claimed more than 3,000 lives. There have been 39 cases in the UK so far. Coronavirus' impact on sport - timelineCoronavirus - how worried should we be?Uefa face potential fixture backlogThe coronavirus outbreak has already impacted on football matches across Europe, with several games in Italy postponed or played behind closed doors after a number towns in the north of the country were put into lockdown.
With stadiums closed and uncertainty over TV revenues, clubs in other countries have issued financial warnings as the virus continues to spread, and Norway is believed to be the first country to announce such sweeping temporary layoffs. While clubs in countries like England and Spain can pay top players and managers huge salaries backed by lucrative TV deals and sponsorship agreements, teams in smaller European countries often live on the edge, trying to pay competitive wages while balancing the books.
The Premier League title race may almost be done and dusted - as and when fixtures can be completed - but things are tighter at the bottom of the table with six clubs separated by just eight points. But which clubs are well placed to avoid relegation? And who has it all to do?Sports data analysts Gracenote have used their Euro Club Index to work out the percentage chances of survival and passed on the results to BBC Sport.

Among them were Tommy Younger, who would play for Hibernian and Liverpool, and represent Scotland at a World Cup, before becoming president of the Scottish FA, and George Farm, who kept goal for Blackpool in the famed 'Matthews' FA Cup final of 1953 and appeared 10 times for his country. So the club has, from its earliest days, had real pedigree. The roll of honour inside the clubhouse attests to that.
City have certainly brought the entertainment value this season, scoring 21 goals and conceding 16, the second highest goals scored and the second highest goals conceded. They’ll need to improve their defensive record this season to take anything from this game though.
Odds on over 2,25 in this match from Russian Second league is more than ok for me and of course, I must try that. So, Shinik is team who is in very good form, because they are won in last round as a guests, 3-1, while in last official duel against Rotor Volgograd, they are won in one fantastic match, 3-2, also as a guests. Rotor is in last few weeks played pretty offensive and this team is in last six matches, even four times played with three or more goals. I will try that and this time, and that is ok option.

MANCHESTER, Jan 1 (Reuters) - Danny Ings continued his fine scoring form to earn Southampton a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur - who had striker Harry Kane go off injured - in the Premier League on New Year's Day, while Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion.
League leaders Maccabi Petah Tikva are also the most productive team in the league with 35 goals in 16 matches. Especially at home they have been scoring goals easily so far this season with 23 goals in 8 games. But including the cup game, they also have conceded 8 goals in the last 5 at home.
Two teams from the lower part of the table but I think Osasuna has far better chances of winning this one because they are very good scoring ram at home and the only reason why they don't have more points is because they conceded so many goals at home but today that should not be a problem for them because valadolid offense on the road is not good at all with just 7 scored goals so I think even one goal could be enough for Osasuna to win but I think they Will score two and secure the win for sure
Adelaide United look like a team full of confidence following three league wins in a row as well as an FFA Cup Final victory. The two losses to start the season are a distant memory and the side has plenty of momentum coming into a fixture that would’ve looked a lot harder a few weeks ago.
After a disappointing 16th placed finish last term, Hartlepool were hoping to play a bigger part in the National League promotion picture this term. The side are one of the bigger names in the division but are underwhelming once again, coming into this weekend's action down in 14th place; 6 points short of the play-off.
Football is the most popular sport in Hungary," said Orban's chief of staff, Gergely Gulyas, on Thursday. We would prefer better football of course, but a lot of this money goes to non-professional sport and to youth football. If we ever want a very good national team, we have to support youth football.
Watford have kept four clean sheets in their last six Premier League matches. Watford are unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches. Aston Villa have lost three of their last four Premier League home matches. Midweek action in the Premier League sees Aston Villa hosting Watford at Villa Park on Tuesday night.
Mohamed Salah fired them ahead from the penalty spot in the first half and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain doubled their advantage early in the second to wrap up a remarkable 23rd win from 24 games this season and stretch their unbeaten league run to 40. In a fixture postponed from December, when Liverpool competed in the Club World Cup, they never looked under any real pressure and picked West Ham off at crucial moments, defending manfully when needed and looking a constant menace on the break.
If we were to play without fans, I would probably give this season a miss - for League One and Two anyway. And hopefully we could get some sort of subsidy. We've only got four players signed up for next season so somewhere along the line we would need to come to some sort of agreement with them but we would need help. Financial suicide' to restart without backingDunfermline release 17 to 'protect club'Listen: McInally on the Scottish football podcastQueen of the South chairman Billy Hewitson said on Thursday it would be "financial suicide" to restart football without cash subsidies for clubs.
