The hosts have struggled for results this term, but things have picked up for them of late. They are aiming to continue their turnaround this week, while the Blues try to further their bid for survival this term. While they are currently midtable, there are still major concerns about their set up. Can they ease those concerns here?
With the Premier League suspended since mid-March with no return date yet set, clubs have not been in training, instead issuing their players with fitness programmes to be done at home. However, pictures have emerged from a park in Barnet, north London, of the former Chelsea boss in full Spurs training gear with Tanguy Ndombele, while other players such as Davinson Sanchez and Ryan Sessegnon also snapped by social media users.
Manchester United have warned anyone "visibly or audibly" supporting Manchester City in a home area of Old Trafford on Tuesday will be ejected. The clubs jointly decided to cut away allocations for the two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final on security grounds. There are fears City fans could buy tickets in home areas after United put tickets on general sale after failing to sell out. It is expected around 70,000 fans will be at the game.

Both teams set their main goal to take a place in the Play Off, and then fight for the title. The Haji guys were very close to the leader a few weeks ago, but they entered the shadow cone and are now also close to the Play Out. They won the game with great emotions from the last stage of “Volunteer”, and today they are most focused on getting the best result before the Federal Security Service. Red and Blue are on the wave, and with a victory today they would rise to 4th place, having spent a less controversial match. The team is doing well, it’s quiet in the locker room, so expect a good match from them. Both teams have serious defense problems, but in the attacking side they do their job very well. Being a match with bets for both teams, I expect to see aggression from both sides and bet on the prediction that both teams will score and the match will end with at least three goals.
Then you have Pepe's histrionic tumble after the slightest touch from Morocco's Medhi Benatia at the World Cup in 2018. Or, further back in the annals, Cristiano Ronaldo winking after successfully lobbying the referee to have his then Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney sent off for England at the World Cup in 2006. Truly reprehensible/admirable stuff… depending on your point of view. While you're here, why not check out this guide to tactical fouls.
Excelsior be meeting with the away team Jong and this game we have predicted that this two teams will score over of 2.5 total goals as looking at the last games they have given over of 2.5 total goals in their last 4 out of 5 games and so this makes us to be very sure with this prediction
Performance-wise, I have done OK in what has been a negative season, so I think I will be alright but it will be a case of waiting to see what is on the table. We will see what Bolton say in the next couple of weeks contract-wise, but with us being told we are relegated to League Two now, they are going to have to cut their budget. I have had bits of interest from elsewhere but, as every player knows, until you get something concrete, then it can mean nothing.
It would be difficult to stick with Giroud if he were to stay at Chelsea and continue to warm the bench every week, so it makes sense why the France boss has told him to leave. Moving to Inter wouldn't make much sense, especially as Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez have formed a deadly striking partnership so Giroud would struggle to break into the first team there as well.
Kriens is just 2 points behind Vaduz and Grasshoppers who are equal on points on 2nd and 3rd place, 41 points for each right now, and Kriens with a win here as they have this game less played than their rivals for that place will go on the play-off place for promotion which would be quite an achievement for them as not long ago they were playing in the lower league levels of Switzerland.
There's something about the FA Cup that brings out the best in Arsenal. A few times it was lifting the FA Cup that kept Arsene Wenger in his job. The Gunners will want a record 14th cup win to ensure their place in Europe next season. Their strikers are in form and up against a Chelsea side that continually leaks goals, they are likely to prosper. Go for Arsenal to get the win.
The Department of Justice makes allegations against Nicolas Leoz, the former president of South American governing body Conmebol, and ex-Brazil federation supremo Ricardo Teixeira. Both are accused of taking money "in exchange for their votes in favour of Qatar to host the 2022 World Cup". Disgraced former Fifa vice-president Jack Warner of Trinidad and Tobago was also allegedly paid £4m through a host of offshore shell companies to back Russia's 2018 bid.
Harry Kane bettered Alessandro del Piero's landmark and Dele Alli continued his return to form - but there was an unexpected recipient of Jose Mourinho's praise after Tottenham's Champions League win over Olympiakos. Spurs trailed 2-0 after 19 minutes but Kane scored twice, with Alli and Serge Aurier also netting as they reached the knockout stages in Mourinho's first home game. The turnaround was helped, as the former Manchester United boss was quick to point out afterwards, by a quick-thinking ball boy.
In their last 15 games, Bournemouth have managed just four wins and lost nine. Each of their last seven matches have produced over 2. They have had some reprieve at home, avoiding defeat in their last three league matches (two wins and a draw) but they have no clean sheet in eight league matches at home.

He said: "That's one thing we have to address. We go up and down too easily, especially away from home. We have to improve. Consistency is what we're striving for. We have to keep working at it and keep plodding away. His side have shown the elements required to have a successful season, once that consistency is found. Now the club just have to convince the fans to return and that this is a start of new, happier era.

Lamela [one of the substitutes] - you know how many training sessions with the team? Zero. Direct from injury to recovery with physios and then direct to 20 minutes in the Champions League. There are two perspectives - an amazing group and amazing guys but another side you see how we are at the moment.
Ansu Fati blasted in a late fourth. Barca's front three of Messi, Suarez and Griezmann clicked perfectly in one of their best performances in recent months. Messi has now reached 19 La Liga assists this season, the most of any player since he reached that figure in 2010-11. He was unlucky not to score as he had a goal ruled out by the video assistant referee for offside and hit the crossbar with a late free-kick.
The victory was inspired in large part by attacking right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold who created three goals and scored one himself. Popping up in the inside-left position, Alexander-Arnold floated a pinpoint cross to the backpost for Brazilian Firmino to head Liverpool into the lead in the 31st minute.
They are sixth in the table, the final play-off place but will be confident of three points against bottom-of-the-table Deportivo Ocotal. Juventus Managua are two points clear of Chinandega but have a final two games that should provide plenty of points.

It has since spread to about two dozen other countries. Several other countries have imposed travel bans while airlines have stopped flying to China, and the World Health Organisation has declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. The outbreak has affected numerous international sports events within China, with the world indoor athletics championships, which were scheduled to be held in Nanjing from March 13-15, postponed until next year.
They can sing that," said Klopp. I am not here to dictate what they sing. If our fans were not in a good mood now that would be really strange. Of course they are allowed to dream and sing whatever they want and, as long as they do their job in the moment we play, all fine. But we will not be part of that party yet. Relive Liverpool's win against Manchester United'Liverpool's procession towards a first league title in 30 years continues'Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah scored the goals as Liverpool recorded a 13th consecutive win in the league.
a match in the semi-pro English league where Alverchurch meets Coalville Town. The home team is not playing well this season and is in the bottom of the table with only 13 points and 18-32 in goal difference, after 17 games played. As for the guests, they are much better and are in 5th place in the league with 30 points and 32-18 in goal difference. I don't think Alvechurch has a bigger chance in this clash because Coalville Town has a better team quality. Based on that, I expect a better game from the guests and that the guests win.
Hermannstadt is a favorite in this match. Even if the form is currently anything but good, it is also because they had to go away three times in a row. They lost none of the last five direct meetings, four of which were even won.
Feyenoord, managed by former Ibrox boss Dick Advocaat, must win to have any chance of progressing. BBC Scotland has the team news and stats to preview the match. Rangers' 'quantum leap' under KingRangers 'most beautiful period of my life' - AdvocaatTeam newsFeyenoord right-back Rick Karsdrop has not recovered sufficiently from the knock picked up in the 1-1 Europa League draw with Young Boys, while fellow defender Edgar Ie also misses his third game in a row with the hamstring strain the Portugal cap suffered in that game.
But Liverpool soon hit their stride and Mohamed Salah - making his 100th league appearance for the club - restored parity with a low finish after Sadio Mane dispossessed Jack Simpson deep inside the Cherries' half. Mane latched on to Virgil van Dijk's perfectly weighted through-ball to complete the turnaround, but the hosts needed a brilliant goal-line clearance from James Milner to prevent Ryan Fraser from hauling Bournemouth back on level terms in a nervy second half.
It is also a reasonable point that footballers should not be the ones financially saving their clubs. On the other hand, these are fabulously wealthy people who could and are doing lots of good by donating a portion of their salary to people who need it more. We’re not sure where Arsenal’s proposals that their players take a pay cut lies on those scales, but the Daily Telegraph reports that the Gunners’ players have voted against a 12.

Boasting the strongest squad in Argentina alongside rivals River Plate, Boca came into this Superliga campaign as a frontrunner to win it. Dethroned by Racing Club last season, Gustavo Alfaro's troops are desperate to regain their perch at the top of the domestic game and they'll certainly be there or thereabouts come the end of play.
Emery arrived in May 2018 to succeed Arsene Wenger - who had been at Arsenal for 22 years - with a track record of European success with Sevilla and domestic titles with Paris St Germain, but has failed to move the club out of the Frenchman's shadow. So how has it all gone wrong for Emery and Arsenal?Emery failed to cure Arsenal flawsWenger's time was up at Arsenal - few would argue with that despite a magnificent career which brought three Premier League titles, seven FA Cups and the domestic Double in 1998 and 2002.
Lawro's prediction: 1-2Simon's prediction: I don't see Norwich having any way out now but a draw would at least give them something to smile about. Leicester v Crystal Palace (15:00 BST)Leicester have really suffered from the break in the Premier League season because they still look short of their usual sharpness, even after four games back. The Foxes just are not scoring goals at the moment, but I think things will click for them again in front of goal soon.
Restart gathers paceThe momentum for a 1 August restart is gathering pace after a deal was struck with Sky Sports to allow Premiership clubs to stream home games to fans who have virtual season tickets. But as ever, there is a dichotomy between those in the top flight and the three tiers below, many of whom do not have the money or infrastructure to show their own games. Clubs in Leagues One and Two have discussed restarting in mid-October instead with only two or three rounds of fixtures, assuming at least some fans will be allowed to return to watch their team in person by then.
A very easy game for Porto this one should be, moral is also excellent for them after defeating a tough Feyenoord side with 3-2 at home last week in the Europa League and finishing 1st a group with tough Young Boys and Rangers as well, in fact they won their last two games there also winning 2-1 away at Young Boys as after 4 rounds they had just 4 points and were in danger of not qualifying but things are excellent at the end.
Hamilton have sometimes competed on the road, drawing four out of seven, though they've come up considerably short when facing the top teams. Not only did they lose by five goals to nil away at Rangers, shipping 26 shots in the process, but they've now conceded at least three goals in five of their last six against the big two, each of which they've lost. They've scored in just one of those six. Combine this with Celtic's impressive attacking efforts at home, where they've scored three or more in five out of seven, and 'Celtic -2 Handicap' makes lots of appeal in the betting.
However, VAR disallowed it for a marginal offside call when the set piece was taken. Mooy capped a man-of-the-match performance by doubling Brighton's lead in the 79th minute when he latched on to Leandro Trossard's pass and took two sublime touches to set himself up for a curling shot that beat goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson, speaking to Match of the Day: "I think the way we got the balance right between having to defend and attacking was really good.

Game for the 26th round of the Championship with Bristol City facing Brentford on this contest here. Brentford is currently in Playoffs position but the last rounds on the road for this team have not been easy with 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 games that they played away from home. On the other side, Bristol City got a very good win in the previous game at home and definitely have good chances to avoid a defeat here. For that reason, we will take their +0.5 Asian Handicap since we expect them to get at least a draw.
In these circumstances, we will ensure that the health and safety of the football family and fans is paramount and that is the clear message from the AFC," confederation chief Shaikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa said in a statement. The AFC will not put anyone at risk during these times of heightened health concerns and so we have taken some sensible decisions to postpone both matches and events.
