Prior to the government proposal, seven successive weekends of Football League fixtures had been lost to the weather, leaving a lot of games to get through and precious little time. This left the Football League with some topical dilemmas - to reward teams based on their current position, declare the season null and void or extend the campaign?As has been the initial response of the game's current authorities, they opted for the latter, agreeing that the campaign would run until June.
Despite being sacked for finishing second in the league following his Double-winning campaign, the Italian said he had an "unbelievable" time at Chelsea, and he could have used the same word on Sunday, but for altogether different reasons. His appointment has been greeted with enthusiasm and delight by Everton fans, and he was cheered by Chelsea supporters before the game. But that mood was brought crashing down to earth as the visitors were outclassed.
The commission said it intends to publish a report into its findings. In November 2018 it emerged that PFA Charity accounts included 'staff costs' of £4m. But there was no further detail given about how that sum was broken down, and elsewhere in the accounts it is stated that "no salaries or wages have been paid during the year". In separate PFA general fund accounts for 2017-18, Taylor's remuneration totalled £2,020,393 making him the world's highest-paid union official.
With the Reds on an 11-game winning run and top of the table, Gerrard slipped attempting to control a pass, allowing Demba Ba to run through and slot past Simon Mignolet in front of the Kop. Willian scored a second late on as control of the Premier League title race fell out of the hands of Brendan Rodgers' side. Manchester City never looked back. Perhaps the most ironic thing about the whole incident was Gerrard's impassioned "we don't let this slip" speech after the previous home match against City.

My pick for this match is Hapoel Tel Aviv to win this match. Odd for this pick is 2.20. I think that this match will end 2:1 for Hapoel Tel Aviv. This international friendly competition in Israel must be so interesting hence therefore making me to bet this match.
After a few weeks of full training, we will be right back where we left off, hopefully. In the latest round of Premier League testing, two individuals have tested positive for coronavirus - including Bournemouth goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale - taking the total number of cases to eight from 1,744 tests carried out. Henderson added: "My opinion is that as soon as everyone is comfortable and as soon as it is safe to do so, we are guided by the experts and doctors on what they deem safe to do.
The underdog story of this Turkish football season has two clear protagonists in Sivasspor and Basaksehir. This match will decide which one will go on to triumph and which will sacrifice themselves heroically in an unintentional moral triumph. Although Sivasspor took a heavy beating last week, we see them bouncing back as their record at home is so strong. Back a home victory here.

An extremely interesting meeting is taking place in the Russian highest division tomorrow between Zenit and Spartak Moscow. Spartak Moscow had a peak for a couple of seasons ago but has not really started since then. Zenit is always a top team and I think they will win this match. The question is by how much. I think AH-1 is a good game in this match as I am absolutely sure that Zenit wins.
The Dutchman was replaced by Jack Simpson, but his disappointment was clear as he trudged off the pitch and he was comforted by Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk, a Netherlands team-mate. Bournemouth were already without eight first-team players because of injury going into Saturday's game, including another regular centre-back Steve Cook. Liverpool drew blood almost immediately after Ake's afternoon had ended prematurely - Oxlade-Chamberlain coolly slotting Henderson's fine long-range pass into the near corner.
I want my tombstone to say that I won the Champions League with Barca," the 61-year-old said in an interview with Catalan newspaper L'Esportiu on Saturday. Setien was the surprise choice to succeed Ernesto Valverde as the club's coach after the latter was sacked despite winning back-to-back league titles and leading the team to the top of the standings at the halfway stage of the season.

The longer the wait went on, the more fantastical those aspirations seemed. But to be a supporter is to dream. To follow your team is to endure countless false dawns and disappointments, coming back for more because the faint hope still flickers that those dreams will become reality. And sometimes they do. Wales' moment came on 11 June 2016, their opening Euro 2016 fixture against Slovakia. To bask in the Bordeaux sunshine, to hear 24,000 from Wales pour their souls into the anthem, to watch their team play in an actual European Championship - and to watch them win? That was paradise.
Premier League players are "mindful of their social responsibilities" and "prepared to step up to the mark" during the coronavirus pandemic, says Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor. Talks are ongoing about a collective pay deal in response to the crisis. The Premier League proposed a 30% pay cut, but the PFA said it would harm the NHS. It is a question of asking players to be involved," Taylor told BBC Sport.

Their attacking players are starting to show what they can do with Diego Castro and, in particular, Bruno Fornaroli being the difference makers that they’ve been for years in the league. Another positive result here would move them to third as they look to close down both Melbourne City and Sydney FC.
Solskjaer's cause has been helped by what appears to be two particularly smart pieces of recruitment, the lack of which has been the failing at the heart of so many of Manchester United's problems since Ferguson's departure. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, at £45m, looks a superb investment for now and the future. He is another example of England's riches at right-back alongside Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold and Reece James at Chelsea.

Their confidence was boosted on Saturday with a 2-1 win over AS Roma, rivals for a place in next season's Champions League. It is right to be confident but euphoria can be dangerous," Gasperini said ahead of Wednesday's match, which is being played at the larger San Siro stadium shared by the Milan clubs.
Data reflects players who were still teenagers at the start of this season, who have played 500+ minutesAs you can see above, there is a huge gulf between Sancho's goal involvements since 2018-19 and the next best teenager in any of Europe's top five leagues. Such impressive stats stack up well against players of any age across the continent's top five leagues since August 2018, leaving him fourth behind the impressive trio of Robert Lewandowski, Kylian Mbappe and that man Messi.
In this match and in the history of their H2H matches, I expect the Galatasaray team to remain undefeated, the odds offered to draw are more than good and there is a great chance that Galatas will not lose this match in the end. Alanyaspor is very good this season and has 2 points more in the Championship than the away team. I think at least galatasaray will get a draw here knowing is a 2 game qualify I believe the away side can get a positive result on the road. So my bet is on the draw. This match can end in 1-1 or 2-2.
The best of those opportunities saw Foxes keeper Kasper Schmeichel deny Sergio Aguero from the spot on the hour mark as Manchester City's penalty problems continued. Pep Guardiola's side have now missed five of their seven Premier League spot-kicks this season, but Leicester will argue they should have been given two of their own before the break. Nothing was given when Kevin de Bruyne had his arms up in the wall and James Maddison's free-kick clearly hit them, and even more mystifying was the decision to give Leicester a corner when Ederson took out Kelechi Iheanacho.
Following a decision by the Monaco authorities, the game between Monaco and Paris St Germain, scheduled today at 2100 (2000GMT), is cancelled and will be played at a later date because of the weather conditions," Monaco said in a statement. Torrential rain and the risk of flooding prompted local authorities to issue a red warning in the region.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he will 100% stay at the club and believes the "truth will prevail", after City's ban from European competition. Premier League champions City have been given a two-year Champions League ban and fined 30m euros (£25m) by Uefa. City say they will launch an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. We appeal. When someone believes they are right they have to fight," Guardiola told Match of the Day.
The 34-year-old was sacked by the refereeing body Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) in 2018 after sending a video mocking a disabled person to a friend. Following discussions with PGMOL, Madley had accepted an offer to become a national list referee, which would qualify him to officiate matches at League One and League Two level.
At 21, the Dutch international will surely follow in the footsteps of Memphis Depay, Arjen Robben and Ibrahim Affelay. The fact that PSV have him under contract until 2024 simply means any new club will have to cough up a big transfer fee. WHO IS INTERESTED? His former club, Arsenal, who let him go in 2017, may look to re-sign him, particularly if they have to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is reportedly keen on a move away from the Emirates Stadium this summer.

Leipzig are on a good run and their 3-0 win over Fortuna saw them go top. On the other hand, Dortmund have also been doing well and they are just four points below. Borussia Dortmund have established a good run over Leipzig and it will be interesting to see how this goes. Both sides have good scoring runs and are pretty stables in their defences. None of their six meetings have ever ended goalless and we see this too yielding a good number of goals. Based on their strengths going to this game, we envision a draw here.
Speculation over a possible link between coronavirus cases in Liverpool and the club's Champions League match with Atletico Madrid last month is an "interesting hypothesis", a scientific adviser to the UK government has said. Some coronavirus deaths in Liverpool have been blamed on the 11 March match at Anfield, which was attended by more than 52,000 people, including 3,000 from Madrid, where a partial lockdown was already in force.
West Ham are to honour club legends Bobby Moore, Sir Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters with a statue at London Stadium as part of the club's 125th anniversary celebrations. It will show them lifting the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1965. An original 'Champions' Statue' still stands near the Boleyn Ground, the Hammers' former stadium. West Ham said the new statue would help to bring "our rich heritage and history to London Stadium".
The home team is underdog but I think it won't lose easily and that's why for me an AH +2 can be a good bet for them. The teams are the Beijing Renhe and Shanghai SIPG and it has started for the top league in China. The locals after 28 games have only 13 points and are already relegated but of the last 4 games played they lost only 1 with a higher margin of this bet. The guests are 3 in the standings but they come from a defeat and for this I want to try with this AH for the home team.
Arsenal's matches had already seen a reduction in the number of goals scored at either end in their games since the appointment of Mikel Arteta however. Under 2.5 goals were scored in five of the six games the Gunners' have contested since the Spaniard's arrival, and on Saturday, Arsenal meet a Sheffield United team that see fewer goals than most in their matches.
The away side were supposed to be the team to stop Juventus, but their collapse saw them drop down the table and lose manager Carlo Ancelotti. That’s left Napoli in eighth place during the campaign when their title opening finally arrived. Can Lazio make things even worse for them here?
It's a problem that boss Alguacil will have to address fast if Sociedad are to remain in the hunt for a return to Europe this term, but we envisage this Saturday's clash with Eibar being a good starting point for Txuri-urdinak to begin turning things around.
Manchester United: De Gea 8, Lindelof 6, Maguire 7, Shaw 6, Wan-Bissaka 6, Fred 8, Matic 7, Williams 7, Lingard 5, Greenwood 5, Martial 5… Subs: James 5, Pereira 6, Mata 6. KEY MOMENTS 7’ FINE SAVE FROM DE GEA! Gundogan clipped a lovely angled pass over the top for Aguero, who pulled away from Shaw and stooped to head back across goal from eight yards.
Arsenal hope for rookie's revival Media playback is not supported on this device Arsenal 0-0 Everton: 'Arteta knows the club well' - Ljungberg Mikel Arteta is an appointment from the opposite end of the managerial scale to Ancelotti - a fiercely driven, intelligent rookie as opposed to the battle-hardened experience of the Italian. Arteta has, however, learned from a coaching genius in Pep Guardiola during more than three seasons at Manchester City, where his influence has been acknowledged and he has reached the point where he wants to put his own expertise into practice.
Guardiola, however, is in no rush to lose his right-hand man. Manchester City assistant coach Mikel Arteta arrives for the Premier League match between Manchester City and Watford FC at Etihad StadiumGetty Images "I'd like him to stay with us," he added. Manchester City has a person of incredible value to work here in the future.
The home team were held goal less in their last match and really did not look attacking in their 0-0 draw. This could mean another low scoring match coming up for them with the away team playing in a few low scoring matches of their own recently. Some of their matches have got goals in them but none of them actually looked very attacking where there were too many goals seen in them. It will be a match all about defense and this will lock both teams out from scoring and might mean another no goal or single goal game.
The league leaders have won 18 of their 19 league games this season, the other game being a home loss to Porto back in August. Since then, Benfica have won 16 successive league games with clean sheets in 11 of them. Each of their nine away league games have been won and their defence has only conceded on three occasions.
England finished third after beating Switzerland on penalties. The team who finished top of each group in every division were guaranteed a Euro 2020 play-off place - with the next best finisher getting a spot instead if that team had already made it via the traditional qualifying campaign. Those play-offs - with Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland all involved - take place later this month, on 26 and 31 March.
