Liverpool's U23s side, led by their former coach Neil Critchley - who has been named Blackpool's new boss - beat third-tier side Shrewsbury Town in a fourth round replay after Klopp refused to field senior players since the match was played during the Premier League's winter break. Liverpool also fielded a young side in the League Cup against Aston Villa - a game they lost - due to a fixture crunch while the senior side won the Club World Cup in Qatar and Klopp said he would take no chances as they looked to progress.
Throw in another apparent disagreement between Tuchel and Mbappe after the young tyro was substituted at the weekend, and it all gives the impression of a club that perhaps isn’t in the ideal state. There is nothing personal between him and me. These things happen,” Tuchel said. It was between a player who does not want to come off and a coach who had his reasons for doing something and who wanted to give a game to players who deserved it.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is prepared for the "circus" that will accompany Jose Mourinho's return to the Premier League. Eleven months after being sacked by United, Mourinho returns to the dugout at the London Stadium on Saturday when his new Tottenham side play West Ham. Spurs limited access to Mourinho's first news conference on Thursday and turned away scores of journalists.
We’ve made a big mistake for their first goal and we are getting punished massively for that at the moment. It was a tough last 15 minutes. Villa are only two points from safety with a game in hand, but they still have to play Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Wolves and Sheffield United. You wouldn’t fancy them to get much from those, especially on this evidence.
The Italian giants want to make the Liverpool star the world’s most expensive defender for the second time. The Netherlands international joined for £76m, making him the world's most expensive defender at the time. The record was beaten last summer when Manchester United signed Harry Maguire from Leicester City for £80m.
I regret leaving England so soon'Scholes starred for England at the 1998 World Cup and the 2000 Euros, but by the time Euro 2004 came around he had been moved to the left of a midfield four to accommodate Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard. He retired from international duty soon after at the age of just 29. I had a young family at the time and going away for England for 10 days at a time, sometimes six weeks in the summer, it just wasn’t ideal and I wasn’t enjoying it.
At least I know the sources everyone is talking about aren't sources, they are just made up, blatant lies. Why Virgil van Dijk was robbed of Ballon d’Or' "If history was wiped and football boiled down to a single year, who would emerge as the best player? That should be the essence of the Ballon d’Or.
Their back four was all at sea in the first minute when Sigurdsson's free-kick was floated in and they failed to react to prevent Calvert-Lewin's finish. It probably wasn't wise of Shkodran Mustafi to dye his hair light grey, thus making himself all the more conspicuous, while David Luiz responded by berating all those in red around him. They were equally culpable in added time at the end of the first half, missing crucial headers before Mina and then Richarlison got the crucial touches.
For the final score, we're backing the hosts to win 2-1, as they have only lost three of their 10 home ties this season and won four of them. Hibs have lost half their away matches, only winning three.
Bayern responded to United’s substitution by bringing on Mehmet Scholl for Zickler. It was a clever move which allowed Scholl, a defter, smarter player, to exploit the enormous space in front of the United defence. We were living on the edge and we knew it,” said Cole. Time, and patience, were running out in equal measure.
Null and void the seasonThis was - and continues to be - the last resort. Across all four leagues, the domestic campaign has only nine matches left, which could, in theory, be completed in the space of four weeks. Given that backdrop, why would anyone - ulterior motives excepted - want to get rid of the work put in over the previous seven months and pretend it never happened?It is a question clubs across the non-league have been asking since the Football Association rendered their campaign null and void from level three to level six on 26 March.
We’re also expecting the Foxes to get back to winning ways here. They have won four of their last five away games and are averaging 2.44 goals per away game this season. West Ham, meanwhile, have lost four of their last five and have shipped three goals in each of their last three at home. The hosts have also averaged 1.37 goals per game at home, so we like the look of a 3-1 correct score prediction.
Julian Knight, chair of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Select Committee told the BBC: "The strong rich Premier League clubs should come to the aid, wherever they can, of the grassroots of the game. Lower league clubs are lynchpins of their communities and local employers. We don't want what happened to Bury last year to occur in towns across the country. On Wednesday, the EFL released a £50m short-term relief fund to help clubs with cash-flow issues because of the coronavirus outbreak.
The Manchester United striker is suffering from a stress fracture of the back, his manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed on Sunday. He’ll be out for a while," Solskjaer said at the weekend. He won’t be back until after the mid-season break. Normally six weeks to heal, but I’m not a doctor, and then he needs rehab after that probably.
Victory would see Liverpool extend their lead at the top to 11 points over Leicester, who host Norwich at 3pm on Saturday, Three points would also take Liverpool a staggering 17 points above third-placed Manchester City, with the defending champions heading to Arsenal on Sunday. There are no guarantees in the Premier League, but Liverpool will be heavy favourites to dispatch Watford, while City will know they are coming up against an Arsenal side desperate to climb back up the table.
well in this match I think it is clear that Novi pazar is huge favorite for the win, they are great at home third in the league with 9-1-3 record and despite they have just 2 points more than dinamo vranje, I think they are going to be way more motivated to get the win and to try to come closer to the promotion spot, but the odd on Novi pazar is way too low so I decided to risk a little bit and if they win with just 1 difference I am not going to get any points, but I hope for 2-0 win!

That's a target," Baird told Reuters by telephone on Thursday. The work we need to do now is to operationalize the calendar to see what venues are available," she said of the nine-team league, which usually shares stadiums with teams from Major League Soccer, the top U. S. Baird, who helped secure broadcast, sponsorship and licensing deals during her decade with the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee, said she was confident CBS would still want to carry the league's matches this year.
Strasbourg have only kept clean sheets in 22% of their home games and Saint-Etienne have only kept clean sheets in 22% of their away games and a majority of Saint-Etienne’s defeats this season (4) had a margin of 2 goals or more while 3 of Strasbourg’s wins had a margin of 2 goals or more, which backs-up our prediction of a 3-1 home win on Saturday.

Once again he hesitates and this time it's Cresswell who makes a last-ditch block to deny City an opener. No penalty! Aguero feels he is pushing held back by Ogbonna as he tries to get a shot away, but his appeals for a penalty go unheard as he is adjudged to be standing in an offside position. That's a dubious call! 30' - GOAL! Man City 1-0 West Ham (Rodri): The inevitable has happened, City lead.

All employees work from home,” Sartori confirms. The administrative part is managed from our homes, starting with the president. Our recruiters are also blocked in telework. We call each other regularly, we also use Skype every day, we try to stay in touch with the outside world, but it's clear that it's different.
Imagine Liverpool without Salah and Mane for four months. We are improving in some aspects even without these players. This is a team that couldn't win an away match in the Premier League when I arrived. For one year it couldn't cope with certain matches and certain atmospheres and certain styles of play. Our results away are not phenomenal but we have three victories and three draws. There are things that are very difficult to change, especially the mentality, but I loved their mentality [against Burnley].
Inter Milan confirmed on Twitter the postponement of Sunday's game at the San Siro. View more on twitterEarlier on Saturday, a number of other football matches had been postponed.

Cremonese's Serie B match against Ascoli and Piacenza v Sambenedettese in Serie C were among those fixtures postponed.
A lot I tried, I knew there was no chance - like top teams in Sweden or Major League Soccer, who would never take someone they'd never heard of. And it was too much money to fund myself to fly out to train with clubs. Along came El Paso, about to start out in the US second tier, playing "Championship to lower Premiership" level football and hosting regular home crowds of 6,000-7,000. The league is split into east and west, but El Paso's travelling distances for away games makes past trips to the likes of Kilmarnock pale in comparison.
LiverpoolThe prospect of winning the league must be very exciting?Obviously it's something you dream of. At a club like Liverpool, where it's eluded us for so long, it would stay with the fans for a very long time, but the closer you get to it, the less you think about it, because it's more of a reality and you can't get caught up in the hype. The message from Jurgen Klopp seems to be 'next game, next game'.
Uefa is promising huge screens, festivals, community events, street activations and pop-up concerts in host cities throughout the tournament. Some cities have revealed where these 'fan villages' will be held (Munich's is at the old Olympic Stadium, Budapest revellers head to Heroes' Square) but most are yet to be confirmed.
We need to know the real effects of the pandemic to know what kind of financial state we are in," he said. We are a financially strong club but we are also probably being hit more than anybody else. Let's see how quickly we can get our fans back into the stadium and, of course, league position is going to be important for us this season. If we can get a trophy, the Europa League will also qualify us for the Champions League.
Torino’s fortunes against Genoa may well be about to turn. The hosts have won their last three Serie A meetings vs Genoa: the last time the Granata had a longer winning strike against the Rossoblu in the competition was in 1982 (five). They are also hoping to make history at this ground. Torino have won their last two encounters in Serie A against Genoa at the Ferraris: the Granata have never won three consecutive matches in a row vs the Rossoblu away from home in the competition.
