A 'mega event' or 'festival of football'Michael Brown: Finishing the season is the correct thing to do - it is the fairest way of deciding what happens. But the issue here is not 'who wins what?'. It is about more than the title, or even the top-four and relegation. Liverpool are 25 points clear at the top of the Premier League but they require two more wins to secure their first league title since 1990There are financial implications for every club, because of the amount of TV money every Premier League club will lose unless the games are played.
Liverpool were on the brink of winning their first Premier League title when the season was suspended because of the coronavirus on March 13. While there have been concerns about whether the season could be cancelled, Klopp says it would be “embarrassing” to suggest he has any problems right now as he paid tribute to frontline NHS workers.
Dinamo Minsk will try their best to get a win when they visit newcomer Smolevichy. Minsk could not qualify for Europa league place last time out and it was for the first time since 2012. They suffered consecutive defeats in first two matches, then bagged a couple of home wins. They are currently sitting on 12th place. This is only the second season in top division for the hosts. They are yet to salvage a win and managed 3 points from 3 draws, they also drew against Shakhtyor Soligorsk. They are sitting on 15th in the table, and a win here can take them to 6th spot and they might get it.
Pereyra was shown a straight red card for what appeared to be an innocuous-looking tackle on Tranmere's Kieron Morris last Saturday, resulting in an automatic three-match suspension. However Watford were successful in their claim of wrongful dismissal and the 29-year-old Argentine will be available for selection starting with their Premier League clash against Bournemouth on Sunday.
Paper Round’s view: There doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all solution to this. If some players are worried about their own financial futures then it doesn't seem right they should have to contribute as much as some of the highest earners in the league. Overseas players want support for their countries The idea of building up a fund to help the NHS has been hampered by the desires of some overseas Premier League players to help health services in their home countries.

Tonbridge will be meeting with the away team Maidstone and looking at this two team we can say that looking at their last meeting they are very good scoring teams as in the last 5 games the home team and the away team have scored an over of 1.5 total goals in all this meeting and so this makes us to see that even on this game this trend will continue
The three other ties between top-flight and second-tier clubs looked the likeliest to offer an upset, as sides flying high in the Championship took on struggling WSL clubs, but they still yielded no shocks. Durham, quarter-finalists in each of the past two seasons, came the closest, taking the WSL's bottom side Bristol City to extra time before bowing out to a Katie Robinson goal for the hosts. Harriet Scott scored twice as Birmingham City, 10th in the WSL, won 3-0 at Sheffield United, while Championship leaders Aston Villa lost 3-2 at home to Hope Powell's Brighton & Hove Albion.

Liverpool moved 16 points clear at the top of the table with that win on Sunday - and 30 points clear of fifth-placed United. But Solskjaer was adamant his players showed signs of improvement at Anfield as they continue to chase a top-four finish this season. We've lost to Liverpool, a team that you all say are fantastic, and we've been in the game until the last kick of the ball," Solskjaer told a news conference on Tuesday.
Media playback is not supported on this device MOTD2: What is behind Arsenal's poor form? 'If you concede space, you don't win'When the Gunners had the ball against Norwich, I actually thought there was an improvement from what we had seen under Unai Emery in recent weeks. They were controlling possession and passing the ball quickly. Emery was sacked on Friday and club director Josh Kroenke says that Ljungberg was appointed interim manager because he "has Arsenal DNA" and that was evident in his first match in charge.
The last Bundesliga fixture was played on 11 March and football in Germany's top divisions was suspended with immediate effect on 13 March because of Covid-19. Former West Germany striker Rummenigge added: "In these difficult times, it's important that the stronger shoulders support the weaker shoulders. With this, we also want to show that football is standing together right now. Dortmund chief executive officer Hans-Joachim Watzke said: "We have always said that we would show solidarity if clubs, through no fault of their own, should run into difficulties that they can no longer overcome themselves.
The team of Juventus has played 2 matches since football resumed and both matches ended without a goal. Just say let blame that on the long break they had, players have been over relaxed but now it's time they start scoring goals.
AN IDENTITY CRISIS’ Elsewhere, the club have been the recipient of fierce media criticism. Simon Hughes of The Athletic details the harsh realities of the process of "professionalising Liverpool’s business operation" that has led to an era of sustained on-field success. It has been argued that very little focus has been on the practices of say, pharmaceutical conglomerates whose huge profits outstrip any Premier League business, but such companies have made no pretence to their intention.
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.
Manchester United began the day in pole position in third, aware avoiding defeat at fifth-placed Leicester would be enough to secure a top-four finish. Chelsea, meanwhile, required just a point at home to Wolves. It was ultimately heartbreak for Brendan Rodgers' Leicester, who had spent 312 consecutive days in the Premier League's top four until Manchester United's draw with West Ham on Wednesday. Bruno Fernandes converted from the penalty spot for visitors United after 71 minutes and Jesse Lingard sealed their 2-0 victory in injury time.
The facility will be opened up free of charge to provide accommodation for hospital staff working to care for people affected by the virus, which has caused the full shut-down of professional football in England. A club statement said: "The initiative came from club owner Roman Abramovich and, after contact with the NHS was made by Chairman Bruce Buck, it was decided the best way Chelsea can assist the NHS is to provide accommodation for NHS staff.
In the earlier meeting between these two sides, in the Serie A, it ended 2-2 and one aspect that could play out here is the two sides’ forms in the Coppa Italia. While Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last six home matches in the tournament, Atalanta have lost six of the last 10 away. Fiorentina will want to take advantage of this but their recent form doesn’t back them up. However, they have been scoring pretty regularly; they have scored in eight of 10 home matches, and have scored in each of the last seven meetings with Atalanta. On the other hand, Atalanta have been one of the best scoring sides in Italy and have particularly scored a lot in this fixture. Based on this we are backing both teams to score here, and we will go for over 2.5 goals.

Berbatov tells Kane to look elsewhere The good news keeps rolling in for Tottenham fans. Dimitar Berbatov has gazed into the mind of Harry Kane and suggested his fellow striker is ready to leave Spurs in pursuit of trophies, just like the Bulgarian did in 2008.
Speaking after United's 5-1 victory over Club Bruges in the Europa League on Thursday, Scholes said he liked "everything" about the Portugal international, and said he had transformed the team into a "watchable" side. The Warm-Up: The Europa League is so much better than the Champions League Ighalo scores as Man Utd thrash Club Brugge in Europa League Football news updates - Arsenal inconsolable after 'cruel' Europa exit Talking to BT Sport after a match which saw Fernandes convert a penalty, goals for fellow new recruit Odion Ighalo and Scott McTominay as well as a brace for Fred, Scholes said: "It was a perfect night and there were a lot of very good performances.
Four of those games were away from home though and that’s not their strong point with seven away league defeats this season. That’s compared with a home record that is yet to see them taste defeat. Seven games have been won and six drawn. Their most recent home league match was a 2-2 draw with Atletico Madrid ending a run of three straight home league clean sheets.
The scorer geed up the crowd as the match got back under way, signalling to them to ramp up the volume, and they did exactly that when Haller found the back of the net seven minutes later, through an exquisite mid-air finish from Ryan Fredericks' cross. It marked the first time the Hammers had scored twice in a first half this season and Bournemouth had no answer as their hosts repeatedly thundered forwards, with Noble soon scoring his second after being tripped in the box by Wilson, sending Ramsdale the wrong way with his spot-kick.
Everton fans also have cause for optimism. Carlo Ancelotti was given a fantastic reception at Goodison Park as he took charge for the first time on Boxing Day, and after surviving a few early scares The Toffees were rewarded with a 1-0 win against Burnley.
This is but a friendly match and I think we will see the away team winning. Not much is known about either teams but thus being a friendly means that either team has good chance to win this match. Away team has the better odds and it's been dropping. I cannot find history of both teams and no previous matches either so for this match am going with the bookies to get it right. Friendly matches also has tendency of having lots of goals but since these two teams are Brazilian teams am not so confident on them scoring plenty goals

TALKING POINT Arsenal need to act fast. If this was an audition to claim the Arsenal job on a permanent basis, then Ljungberg came up well short. To be fair, the Swede is a managerial novice and it is going to take significant changes at the club to undo a continuing decline. He's picked up one win in five at the helm, but masterminding a victory here was always going to be a tall order.
