The working group, established last week as a result of the conference call among the stakeholders of European football, which was chaired by UEFA President, Aleksander Čeferin, will analyse the options available. The group has already begun its examination of the calendar. Announcements will be made in due course.
Melbourne Victory have yet to really get going this season, picking up just five points and sitting eighth in the league. They have picked up just one win and last weekend’s home draw with Wellington Phoenix would’ve caused some worry within the ranks as they continue to look blunt in attack. The loss of Andrew Nabbout in recent weeks won’t have helped but with so much expectation on them heading into the season, they look to be crumbling early on. There are some bright sparks for them, with Ola Toivonen being a goal away from being the second-fastest A-League player to reach 20 goals and the return of Robbie Kruse improving their creativity in the final third.
Oxford United will have been disappointed to draw a non-league side in the third round. Then again, Hartlepool would have hoped for more than an away tie at Oxford. This gives them a good chance to make the fourth round where hopefully a big tie will come along. Oxford can't really complain having just hosted Manchester City in the EFL Cup as well as West Ham United, who they beat 4-0. They are having a great season and could end up being promoted. Hartlepool have struggled since being relegated and although they beat Exeter in the last round, the tip here is for an Oxford home win.
Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy's injury is "not as serious" as first feared, says manager Brendan Rodgers. Vardy, 33, will miss Saturday's FA Cup tie at Brentford, but could be fit for the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Aston Villa on Tuesday. Vardy had to be substituted before half-time during Wednesday's 4-1 Premier League win over West Ham. It's not his hamstring it's a glute, so we're hopeful for Tuesday," Rodgers said on Friday.
I have made our feelings known to the EFL and, having spoken with a number of CEOs at other Championship clubs, I am not a lone voice on this matter. We are absolutely appalled. Players have been back in training since 25 May, initially while following social distancing guidelines, and full-contact training will begin this week. QPR are 12th in the Championship - six points from the play-offs and 11 clear of the bottom three with nine games left.
Neymar was in the mood from start to finish tonight, scoring one and contributing two assists. His understanding with Icardi and Mbappe has never looked stronger. There was no way to stop him. PLAYER RATINGS Paris Saint-Germain - Rico 5, Bernat 5, Marquinhos 6, Diallo 5, Kurzawa 6, Kouassi 7, Sarabia 7, Paredes 6, Neymar 9, Mbappe 8, Icardi 8.
However he couldn’t get Juventus over the European hump plus he is in the middle of a year-long sabbatical and may not wish to break that after speaking of the need to recharge his batteries. Massimiliano AllegriGetty Images RAFA BENITEZ Age – 59 Current club – Dalian Yifang Next Arsenal manager odds – 12/1 Benitez is currently in China after the acrimonious end to his time at Newcastle but his good work in tough conditions at St James Park means that his stock is very high.

The Romanian faces the number 28 seed Anett Kontaveit for a place in only the second time. Her previous best in this tournament has been a loss in the 2018 final to Caroline Wozniacki. The former world number one is now up to third in the rankings but seeded fourth here becuse defending champion Naomi Osaka was seeded above her.
Fuenlabrada will play against La Palmas in the Spanish segunda division today. It is a hard game for both of them. I do not consider any team favorite because they are even teams. Odds are almost the same. I do not consider that the visitor has favoritism and that they are a team with good defense. So I expect possible outcome 1- 1 or 0-0. I do not think they will vary too much for the weekend. Both teams will try to settle for at least a point here in this match. My prediction is draw here in this match.
However, the Ancelotti factor didn't make its mark and they are winless in 21 meetings with their neighbours in all competitions. Instead, Liverpool showed they have some excellent youngsters in their ranks and they fully repaid their manager's faith in them. MAN OF THE MATCH Curtis Jones (Liverpool).
The men played 87 games and were paid $18. However, the men's figure would probably have been substantially higher had they qualified for the 2018 World Cup. If we were under the men's contract, we would be making three times more," she said. So you can look at the total compensation. In that time that we've made just a little bit more, we've won two World Cups and we've won just about every single game that we've played in.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds maintained their phenomenally consistent run of results with a hard-fought 2-1 over Crystal Palace at the weekend – an outcome that extended the club's unbeaten run to 13 matches in all competitions.
A low-key appointment from Millwall, Graham won the League Cup against Liverpool in 1987 before the drama of a last-minute title win at Anfield two years later. He built sustained success as he won the title again along with further domestic trophies before his last triumph at Arsenal when they won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1994. Graham was a shock choice as Spurs manager in 1998 and, while many fans could not get past his Gunners' links and success, it should never be forgotten he also brought them a trophy with the 1999 League Cup Final win over Leicester City at Wembley.
This should be another victory for league leaders Chelsea. They are the only unbeaten side in the table and the last four matches in this league have all been won. They are the league's top away scorers and can improve that record with a win over a Birmingham side that has already lost four league games this season.
Christian Streich's Freiburg side hope to continue their dream start to the 2019/20 German Bundesliga season this Saturday. They are set to travel to BayArena to take on a Bayer Leverkusen side struggling to find form. Leverkusen are currently sitting three points behind Freiburg in eighth place, having beaten Wolfsburg last time out.
Genk's Maarten Vandevoordt could become the youngest goalkeeper to play in the Champions League at 17 years and 287 days, if he makes his debut against Napoli on Tuesday. The current record is held by Benfica's Mile Svilar, who made his debut against Manchester United in 2017 aged 18 years and 52 days. Vandevoordt has started Genk's last two matches in the Belgium league and cup. He has been picked ahead of regular Gaetan Coucke.

Villa, meanwhile, remain two points from safety as they rest in 19th position. TALKING POINT Was it a penalty? Oliver awarded a penalty to Leicester, one that killed the game as a competition. But VAR showed no obvious handball from Mings, and it seems unfair that the referee was able to have a debatable decision stand when the replays suggested it wasn’t the correct initial decision.
Charlton midfielder Darren Pratley says the thought of returning to football is "a bit frightening" as BAME players are more at risk from Covid-19. The Office for National Statistics says black men and women are nearly twice as likely to die from coronavirus as white people in England and Wales. Pratley, whose father is Jamaican, has raised concerns. We've been told that BAME footballers are at higher risk, which is concerning being mixed raced," he told BBC Sport.
Any lingering disappointment from the World Cup campaign has been offset by the recognition she finally earned from the Asian Football Confederation at their annual awards ceremony in Hong Kong on Monday. I've been nominated a few times before but at last I've been able to win this award and I'm very, very happy," said Kumagai.
Newcastle manager Steve Bruce said he would "kick himself" if winger Allan Saint-Maximin picked up a serious injury in their victory over Southampton on Sunday. The Frenchman left the pitch in the sixth minute of stoppage time after appearing to sustain a hamstring problem and later left on crutches. Bruce admitted it is "the downside of playing somebody tired". We don't know how serious it is," the Newcastle boss said.
It also agreed to set up an "expert group" to look into whether the rules need to be changed to allow for better treatment for players who suffer concussion. The group will look a new ways of assessing concussion during a match and how to deal with it, "taking into consideration all potential resulting consequences, with player safety at the forefront".
Tamaru, who watched Sunday's Merseyside derby from a British pub in Tokyo's Ebisu district crammed full of Liverpool supporters in red shirts and scarves, said: "I think they signed him purely for footballing reasons. We know that Klopp is a manager who doesn't sign players unless he knows how they perfectly fit within his system. He doesn't use signings straight away until he's certain that the player understands his footballing philosophy.
I was second-choice goalkeeper so I got in the team and started off well, then I had a few shaky games," he said. The one game that did it for me was the Manchester derby which was 4-3 to United, where Michael Owen scored the winner in the last minute. I was all over the shop and I remember coming in at full-time and Sir Alex Ferguson absolutely nailed me. We had just won the game so everyone was buzzing but he shut everybody up to nail me in front of everyone.
A run of two wins and a draw after the restart was followed by a four-game winless run that ended their hopes of a top-10 finish. Carlo Ancelotti approached this game with one eye on next season, assessing his options from the club's youth team by handing promising 18-year-old defender Jarrad Branthwaite his first Premier League start while 19-year-old forward Ellis Simms was included on the bench.
The highest placed opponents in that quartet were Sheffield Wednesday, currently seventh in the table. The other three losses were all against sides currently in the bottom six. Charlton have lost the last two without scoring and at home, they have one point from their last four games. Rather than thinking about promotion back to the Premier League, Charlton are now concerned about relegation with only a gap of six points between them and the bottom three.
Royal excel Mouscron was in good form before suffering 2 consecutive defeats against Anderlecht and Club Brugge. They will be aiming to come back in track by clinching victory here. They sit on 10th spot right now and have a very strong home form as they have lost only once in their 8 home matches.
Clubs voted to end the League Two campaign immediately on 15 May, also proposing that no team should be relegated to the National League. However, with the EFL including relegation in its framework for curtailing a season early, Stevenage would go down from League Two as it stands. Swindon, Crewe and Plymouth would be automatically promoted to League One. How the League One season will end has yet to be decided, although the EFL's confirmation that only 12 of the 23 clubs need to be in favour of finishing it early could be significant.
In January last year, Solskjaer took his squad to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and sent some of his players there again in November during an international break. United have also previously used the Aspire Academy in Qatar's capital Doha for a winter training camp. There has been a rise in tensions in the region after senior Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani was killed in a US air strike in Baghdad and a Ukrainian International Airlines plane was accidentally shot down in Tehran, killing all 176 passengers.

Barcelona had to prove that Dembele was out for six months before being allowed to make a move. Barcelona are the first club to utilise a clause that Fifa asked the Spanish FA to remove in 2016, but Valencia are trying to follow them after injuries to two centre-backs. Every player in Spanish football has a release clause in his contract - some more realistic than others - and Barca were able to pay the £15m to sign Braithwaite, who joined Leganes from Middlesbrough in the summer.
In this league, Padang is a team that has been surpassed by almost everyone and in this group of visitors they are a team that has not been good. They are also at the bottom of the table so they practically arrive as possibly the worst team this league instead the persebaya is a team that has been quite regular in general and at home in addition to that they have shown that they can handle bad teams at home and on this day they play there so I like them too much with these odds to win this game.
It's a massive thing," said Arnold of Australia's first Olympic qualification since 2008. You can tell how much Australia thought we were going to qualify because there's not one journalist here. So for us to achieve this third place in the Under-23 Asian Cup and also to qualify for Tokyo means now that for these boys, it's only just a start.
It’s not that Mourinho has shamed himself – far from it – it’s just there’s no evidence that the dugout change was necessary. Pochettino repeatedly impressed on supporters the elevated status of the big two: the Premier League and Champions League. He knew FA Cup success would not stop the taunts, nor elevate Spurs to the realm of champions.
Manchester United listed from Watford on the road in last round and with that defeat they are now on eight postio on the table and also it is very obvious that they are struggling a lot to win versus teams which are not in top 6 and I think tomorrow they cannot beat Newcastle united. Visitors on the other hand with Steve Bruce on the bench are in great shape with 3 wins on last 4 games and I think they are right now in much better mood then united so I expect at least are draw for Newcastle united
Teale says similar. How we won the way we did, I'll never know," he adds. It wasn't just the result, but the performance given half the squad was made up of people with hardly any caps. The game against Bulgaria was Gary Teale's Scotland debut'It was like a scene from Bladerunner'After the win in Kobe, the squad took the bullet train the 250-odd miles to Tokyo and checked in at their 43-floor Tokyo Dome Hotel, overlooking the cavernous baseball stadium.
The striker is a pest to defenders, with an unerring instinct to be in the right place at the right time - both to finish attacking moves and capitalise on mistakes - as he has against Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and ex-club Liverpool. Ever the willing runner himself, Ings has flourished best when paired with a fellow striker - the selfless Shane Long being the most effective - who can put in the hard yards and allow him to focus more time to being a presence in the box.
The club said parts of their Turf Moor home, starting with the Elite Training Centre adjacent to the stadium, will be opened to the East Lancashire Hospital Trust to help it deal with any necessary extra hospital capacity. The Clarets also said they would be following Brighton's lead in pledging to offer free tickets for NHS staff for future matches, "with plans being formed to recognise and reward the contribution of NHS workers in our region when football is again being played.
well in this one it is much easier to predict who can be the winner cause jeonbuk motors are much better team and it is not a surprise that even on the road they are almost huge favorites to win and they started season with a victory over Suwon at home with 1-0 but today I expect from them to score at least two goals and that could be enough for them to win with two difference cause Busan already listed 2-0 in first round and I think their offense is once again going to fail to score a goal
Fifa is set to discuss whether to prevent domestic league games being played in another country. A Stakeholders' Committee, meeting in Zurich on Thursday, will debate whether to recommend making an amendment to the rules of football's world governing body. The idea of a '39th Game' was first mentioned by Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore in 2008 but was eventually shelved due to widespread opposition within the game.
