The fact Klopp’s experiment was vindicated? Irrelevant. You see, Klopp’s absence sent a clear message to the U23 side: ‘Lads, none of you will make it’. It also sent a clear message to Shrewsbury: ‘You don’t matter’. Both are acceptable beliefs when you manage one of the richest teams in the world, but it doesn’t say much for the state of the game.

His side played admirably in the second half to push Liverpool back and might have snatched a draw had substitute Giovani Lo Celso not wasted a glorious late chance. But he knows he faces a tough task to provide Champions League football again next season with Tottenham now in eighth place and nine points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.

Did you know? Lampard has scored against a record 39 different Premier League clubs Clubs: Manchester United, Aston Villa & Manchester CityWhile the signing of Eric Cantona from Leeds is often cited as the masterstroke from Sir Alex Ferguson that transformed Manchester United into the Premier League's first dominant force, the acquisition of Schmeichel, from Brondby - for a little over £500,000 - was arguably just as important.
Tottenham, Newcastle, Bournemouth and Norwich are other top-flight sides who have put non-playing staff on furlough, although those clubs are using the JRS. West Ham and Southampton have announced that their players will defer part of their wages during the coronavirus pandemic. The Blades, who were pushing for Champions League qualification before the coronavirus halted the footballing calendar, have not ruled out using the job retention scheme in the future.
A decade of fights, flashpoints and football is drawing to a close. And now we want you to pick your best XI from the last 10 years of the Scottish top flight. How you interpret the word 'best' is up to you. But to save a rammy, BBC Scotland has drawn a shortlist comprising only players named in the PFA Scotland team of the year since season 2009-10. That means some notable names are missing - Celtic duo Odsonne Edouard and Ryan Christie, and Rangers' Ryan Jack - but don't blame us.
A Linfield player has tested positive for coronavirus, the Irish Premiership club confirmed on Tuesday evening. Earlier, Linfield chairman Roy McGivern told BBC Sport NI that a player had chosen to self-isolate after having contact with someone who had the virus. Linfield announced later on Tuesday that its unnamed player had also contracted the virus. Linfield FC can confirm that one of our players has tested positive for coronavirus," said a statement.

Below, we run through who you picked for each team's winning XI - and who you didn't - and then give you the chance to select your ultimate XI.
However, Klopp said that Liverpool were still rusty at the start of the campaign and that it was no longer the case. We scored four, they scored one," Klopp said. But they had much more chances. It was a really good warning at the start of the season. We were not that consistent. We were not 100% fit and players were not together for as long as necessary.

That’s seen 78% of their away trips finish with under 2.5 goals scored. The visitors don’t create or convert all that many chances on the road, but they are solid on their travels. That points to them keeping things tight here, so we expect this one to buck the trend in terms of QPR games, with Preston frustrating the hosts and producing a low scoring affair. Under 2.5 goals is our pick for this one.
Valencia forward Rodrigo Moreno missed an open goal later in the half and then captain Dani Parejo was denied from the penalty spot by Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. The Spaniards eventually levelled in the 82nd minute with a remarkable goal from Danish midfielder Wass, who looked set to cross from the right wing but instead flummoxed Arrizabalaga by firing a shot across goal which bounced off the far post and into the net.

Villarreal were moving smoothly into contention to challenge for the European qualification spots towards the end of October, but a run of one draw and two defeats from their last three games has seen El Submarino Amarillo drop back down to 11th. Javier Calleja's men desperately need a win this weekend to get back on track and we fancy them to deliver the goods against a Celestes side who are without a win in 18 away La Liga matches.

I have once been mistaken for Jaap Stam in Ajax Showtime [an Ajax website] by Ajax itself. It happens to me more often, such as on vacation, that people shout: 'Hey, that's Jaap Stam!'''Twitter, of course, loved it, with other MLS clubs welcoming Stam with photos of other bald celebrities. Columbus Crew went with actor Jason Statham, New York Red Bulls chose Mark Strong, while Houston Dynamo used a snap of former Arsenal and Switzerland defender Philippe Senderos.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0Portsmouth v BarnsleyLeague One (7th)vChampionship (22nd)Who did they beat?3R: Fleetwood (L1) A3R: Crewe (L2) A2R: Altrincham (NL) H1R: Harrogate (NL) APortsmouth are unbeaten at home in League One this season and Barnsley have only won once away in the Championship - so you probably know where I am going with this. My team, Preston, beat the Tykes 3-0 on Wednesday night and they are in a bit of bother at the bottom of the table, and not playing particularly well.
Hull have won three of their last four matches in the Championship (L1), last winning three in a row at the start of November. They could easily repeat that achievement here, while they’ve won three straight games in all competitions following their success at Rotherham at the weekend.
Like, for example, during Aston Villa’s 5-0 victory over a collection of children in Liverpool shirts in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening, essentially everyone with access to a Twitter account and a working knowledge of early 2000s football ephemera tweeted the same thing: well done, they’re 13. In case you’re not familiar with the reference, it’s from a Michael Owen soccer skills video in which he toyed with a young goalkeeper being coached by Neville Southall and after one celebration too many, big Nev – god love him – loses patience with the international footballer and has a pop.
Both Charlton and Sheffield carry poor runs to this match and will be keen to get back to winning ways. Charlton have done well for a promoted side, but they will want to make use of the good returns they have in attack. Sheffield are on a slightly better form but have a bad run away from home and this could cost them here. With both sides’ scoring returns, we are backing both to score and a good pick here would be on over 2.5 goals.
Arteta's impact was obvious as every Arsenal player excavated their mental and physical resources to subdue City before striking with the deadly Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as their spearhead, the Gabon striker scoring in each half. Arsenal beat Man City to reach FA Cup finalFootball Daily podcast: Arsenal outgun Manchester City to reach FA Cup finalAs Arteta embraced his close friend Guardiola at the conclusion of this 2-0 win and looked forward to an FA Cup final against Chelsea or Manchester United, his old mentor faced some serious decisions about City's future.
That would change the status quo. We can't let that happen. The organisation has not announced how much money the revamped competition will generate although Infantino said it had received nine offers for its commercial rights. But Tebas believes FIFA has not considered the effect the tournament's prize money might have on distorting the competitive balance in national leagues.

Relive West Ham's win over Watford'Promise less and deliver more' - West Ham do just that Former Manchester United and Everton boss Moyes was appointed for a second spell as West Ham boss in December, with the side just one point above the relegation zone. Preserving the club's top-flight status will have been the aim and Moyes will achieve that objective barring a freak set of results over the coming days.
In other words, Bolton are no mugs, and should not be judged on their league position. The Trotters have shown that they're tough to beat in recent times, by avoiding defeat in seven of their last ten league games. They've also not lost by more than a single goal since November and have recently drawn against useful sides such as Sunderland and Shrewsbury.
Where did it go wrong for Liverpool? Liverpool won only one of their 14 matches in the Women's Super League this seasonAs two-time winners, Liverpool are the WSL's highest-profile relegated side since the breakaway league began in 2011. Vicky Jepson's team won just one and drew three of their 14 completed matches this season, but with more than a third of their original 22-game campaign unplayed, they had held high hopes of getting out of trouble on the field.
But the DCMS later said the meeting included discussions of how staging sporting events behind closed doors "could work in practice" if the situation changed and that became necessary. Wales' home Six Nations match against Scotland will be played as planned in Cardiff this weekend. Outside the UK, a number of events have been postponed - including the France v Ireland game in the Six Nations, which was set to be held in Paris on Saturday.
For Palace, the best they can achieve for the season is a 13th placed finish and that will need Newcastle United to draw or lose their final match. Crystal Palace won their first match after resumption of football, beating strugglers Bournemouth 2-0, but it has been downhill since, with seven straight losses and they have been misfiring as well in these matches.
Managua FC is playing as favorites at home this time, up against Club Deportivo Jalapa. Managua Football Club seems to be well rated by the bookies at the odds of 1,44. On the other hand Club Deportivo Jalapa is way overrated by the bookies at the odds of 5,75, as fair odds for them seem to be around 8,43. There is not much value regarding the Managua odds but I do think they will win this home venue. If you're having any doubts on the 1 x 2 market go for the under 2,5 goals. There is great value on that bet
Brighton & Hove Albion face Wolves in the Premier League. Premier League with 23 points in 15 games, Wolverhampton are having a very good season. A year ago, Wolverhampton Wanderers were 12 in the standings with 19 points. Now they are 5th with 23 points. Since the defeat conceded at home against Chelsea last September (2-5), Wolves have lined up 10 games without a setback in the league (5 wins and 5 draws), the current series.
We think there should be goals in this game with neither side really content to sit back and defend and we've predicted that the teams will beat the 2.5 goal line at 1/2 odds. There should be plenty of chances at either end as both teams look to gain the advantage heading into the final matchweek and the goal line looks to be under serious threat.

Despite a bright start to the campaign, Nîmes have won none of their last twelve Ligue 1 matches. Their attack has been misfiring with them failing to score in seven of these matches and just one goal in their last four. Nîmes have actually scored the least goals in the league this season which has been a large catalyst for their failure so far.
Strong, fit and organised will never go out of fashion' - what the managers saidBurnley manager Sean Dyche, talking to BBC Match of the Day: "I am very pleased with that. We know it's a tough place to come and it was a good performance from us. We scored two very good goals. They didn't find any killer moments, which was very pleasing. Strong, fit and organised will never go out of fashion. Grim reading for Solskjaer - the statsBurnley ended a run of 15 away league matches without a win against Manchester United, tasting victory for the first time since a 5-2 win in September 1962.
Valencia have won at Ajax and Chelsea (in this season's group stage). There are difficulties at this level. We didn't draw one of the very top teams but the results of our opponents speak for themselves. Gasperini added that an injury to striker Duvan Zapata, their leading scorer last season, had forced Atalanta to look for other options this term, making them more versatile.

An own goal by Albion left-back Kerry Mayo midway through the first half put Hereford ahead, but Robbie Reinelt equalised 17 minutes into the second half, and Brighton hung on for the point which preserved their fourth-tier status. Hereford became the first club to be relegated to non-league in four years, and it took the Bulls until 2006 to get back to the Football League. The club eventually folded in 2014-15 after dropping back into non-league two years previously.
The hosts took a 2-0 first half lead through Jan Bednarek and Shane Long, only for Wolves to respond early in the second as Pedro Neto scored from a drilled cross from Adama Traore. Wolves were soon awarded a penalty after the video assistant referee (VAR) overturned on-field referee Darren England's initial decision not to give a foul on Jonny inside the box.

Really, though, he shouldn't have smelt it. Brilliant save! Henderson dances into space across the face of the box and has options , but instead opts to panel one with his laces, that De Gea somehow tips onto the post as it screeches past him! Liverpool are on one here! 59’ - United are having a little period, and Martial drifts left, plays a one-two off Pereira and he's in.
While it hasn’t been the perfect season for Atalanta, the hosts are still fighting on multiple fronts and they are coming off back-to-back victories. The home side are aiming to continue the revival, as they seek a victory over Hellas Verona on Saturday.
Reading is in very good shape since Mark Bowen sit on their bench especially at home and after they beat the derby 3 0 in last game at home,I surely expect from them to win versus QPR tomorow.QPR is good team at home and bad team on the road and their defense is especially bad on the road so I expect from reading to score at least 2 goals tomorrow and that should be more than enough for them to secure another Victory at home and who wants to risk could even try with 1.5 handicap on hosts to win
This is one of the matches from Ukraine Youth League, where I hope that we can see plenty of goals, what is for me very real and ok to try. So, Shakhtar is excellent team with plenty of young and super-talented players who can beat almost all rivals in this league. I just hope that they can be on good level in this match, what is pretty real to expect. In last official duel against Dnipro 1 U21, they were more than good - they are beat this rival with even 4-0. Yes, I believe in similar scenario and this time.
I think this is going to be an even, tight game," he added. We have some young players. If they're going to learn to play these games I think it's a great start for them. I'm not expecting them to dominate but we should compete and challenge. If we went with every first team player then maybe we have a better chance to win the game.
We will play the best match from this two loss two teams from Belarus league Belshina and Gorodeya where we look see a best soccer match from this two teams and a best new chance for this our play we do at the match now what be this best our play for this match now. We will play the pick over from 1.75 goals where we look see minimal two goals and can for this look get a new half win from 3 points and if we see three goals can get a new great 7 points to our score.
