Strikers Timo Werner and Moussa Dembele are also said to be on Chelsea’s list, but RB Leipzig and Lyon would respectively be unwilling to offload their forwards. Paper Round’s view: A lot of pressure has been placed on Chelsea’s young guns, and though Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi have performed admirably, they could do with some big names to provide some healthy competition.
That's what they have though as the home side bid to end a run of four straight league defeats and five matches in Serie A without a win.

All professional players at Barcelona, including six-times world player of the year Lionel Messi, as well as non-playing staff, will face a compulsory wage reduction during the period of lockdown, the club's directors decided at a board meeting held via video conference. Spain was put into lockdown on March 14 with citizens only allowed to leave their homes in order to conduct essential business.
The players, directors and staff have shown good leadership and responsibility by doing this voluntarily," the former Liverpool and England captain told the Rangers website. It was a no-brainer and the right thing to do. It was unanimous everyone wanted to do this. It's important in these hard times that no one suffers from any financial hardship.
I see a lot of similarities in the situation I went through and what is happening with Kane. I feel that it's also a similar time in his career that I was at, you start to think if you're on the right path and you think about winning things. Bebartov, who two Premier League titles at Manchester United, added: "There is a strong connection between Spurs and Manchester United, Teddy Sheringham was at Tottenham then went to Old Trafford, I was a Spurs striker and went to United and now Kane, who's also a striker, is being linked with a move there.

The Austrian saw his side record back-to-back league wins on the road for the first time this season. The hosts’ early lack of intensity set the tone for the game; they opted for 3-4-3 and weren’t forceful enough in midfield, with Jorginho having to drop deep in order to influence the game. Southampton soon grew in confidence, with Ryan Bertrand and Nathan Redmond enjoying great link-up down the left.
A way of defeating the 'evil'People from the Danish capital, the Swedish stereotype suggests, are arrogant. People from Sweden, the Danish stereotype would have you think, take themselves and their rules far too seriously. To what extent either point of view is based in reality is up for debate, but it is true FC Copenhagen and Malmo also represent two very different football identities. The journey across the Oresund Bridge, connecting Copenhagen in Denmark to Malmo in Sweden, takes about 30 minutes by trainWith both sides obliged to take something from the game in order to guarantee progression to the knockout stage, the result on Thursday becomes a de facto referendum on the best way to run a club.

IN OTHER NEWS Professional footballers aren’t really supposed to be funny. Or at least not intentionally funny, outside the banter cocoon of the dressing room, and they’re certainly not supposed to have terrific comic timing and a talent for mimicry. But then there’s Bayern Munich’s Canadian winger Alphonso Davies… HEROES AND ZEROS Hero: The actor playing the character Richard Keys OK, we admit it, we’ve been had.
Back-to-back defeats by Manchester City and West Ham United had followed six straight league wins, but the return of striker Tammy Abraham proved crucial against Villa.

Asked in his television interview with BT Sport about transfers, Solskjaer said: "I understand you were talking about that and that is always going to be the talk at the moment because we’ve started a clear-out and get-players-in job.

Overall, a lack of goals has blighted Rochdale this season. By utilising some very promising young players, mixed with with some very experienced pros, Dale have a decent side, while they play some attractive football, but they've found it tough to out-score teams, especially at home, which isn't surprising given that they've notched a total of just ten goals at Spotland.

Whilst their overall away record of one win, two draws and four defeats this season leaves plenty to be desired, Los Verdiblancos have picked up four points in their last two travelling assignments against Real Madrid (0-0) and Mallorca (1-2) and rate as cracking value here to beat an Espanyol side who have been hapless in their own back yard.
It's not clear yet if boss Jorge Sampaoli will continue with the club's project next year but for now focus can only be on a strong end to the campaign. Unbeaten in 6 games, of which they've won 4, the side can be extremely confident coming into Sunday's game and having also won 5 of their last 6 home games, their prospects look bright as regards securing victory.

Dunkerque versus Quevilly is this match in France for the National where the hosts favorite are going to win this match today and so I pick this 1 FT. Home team so far after 17 matches have 33 points and are 1st in the league. Are coming from a win and did only 1 defeat in the last 5 matches they played. At home are pretty good team and because the guests have 17 points and did only 1 win in the last 4 matches played I think away they are going to lose this match in the end today.

Ferguson wanted Giggs to attack Lothar Matthaus, Bayern’s 38-year-old sweeper, who had been harassed into mistakes for both of United’s goals in the group game in Munich.

Last Thursday's first leg saw the Portuguese Liga champions fall to a 2-1 defeat. Second-best in terms of possession and second-best when it came to shots taken, the scoreline reflected Benfica's ranking. Shakhtar put in an accomplished performance, stringing neat passing moves together, their first goal being the product of one such play.
In terms of a correct score tip, we do not expect this one to be a particularly high scoring affair. The hosts have scored an average of 1.31 goals per game and conceded almost as frequently. Meanwhile, 33% of Bradford’s away matches have finished in a 1-1 draw so far this season. It is a result which we believe will be repeated this weekend.

Trabzonspor don't want their title dream to be over, and I'm sure they will be aiming for a victory in Monday’s football game against Alanyaspor. As expected, Alanyaspor suffered a 2-0 defeat against Istanbul Basaksehir in their first match after the football break. Erol Bulut's men aim to keep their Europa League hopes up, but given the Trabzonspor's confidence, I'm tempted to put my money on draw. Cimsir's men are undefeated in their last thirteen games, including ten wins. They were also undefeated in 20 of their previous 21 games, and had scored two or more goals in 13 of their last 16 games. They are also on the active run of seven unbeaten away games. Bulut's men, on the other hand, have not won in seven of their last ten games and, in doing so, have suffered a streak of four defeats.
Villa are organised, they have a keeper with incredible experience in Pepe Reina, talent and fast players up front, physicality in midfield, good headers as centre-defenders. Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte will not feature in the final and is expected to be out of action for up to a month after sustaining a hamstring injury in the 2-1 win over Real Madrid. Winger Leroy Sane is City's only other major absentee but the German, out since August with knee ligament damage, stepped up his comeback with 57 minutes for the under-23s on Friday.
Jordan Pickford then allowed a routine shot from Christian Benteke squirm through his legs for the Belgian's first goal in 34 appearances as Palace restored parity after the interval, and moments later the 29-year-old unwittingly struck the post.
