In a bid to help the players, FIFPRO has published advice under the title "Keep your mind sharp". It remind them to maintain a healthy lifestyle and sleep patterns, stay connected via social media, follow a routine and take breaks, such as listening to music or watching a favourite TV show. It advises players to "focus on what you can control as we sometimes fixate on events outside of our control.
After Olympiakos Piraeus started the group with an excellent 2-2 draw against today's opponent Tottenham Hotspur, they have struggled in the next 3 group stage matches losing all of them and conceding 8 goals. They are also struggling in the Greek league winning only 1 of the last 3.
After a strong opening phase that saw them finish 7th in the regular standings before reaching the semi-finals of the play-offs, Monarcas Morelia will be looking to kick off the closing phase of the Liga MX in strong fashion on Saturday. The fixture is one they are expecting to win and having already defeated Toluca 2-0 away from home this campaign, confidence can be high going into it.
Only reason why odds are so big on the home win is because the hosts want the points if they are to fight in the championship group for an Europa League place next season, but I read on the Urartu website that the players and staff are happy and well prepared for this game, plus they even played in the Europa League at the start of this season defeated by Cukaricki from Serbia, but that is too strong opponent for any side from Armenia to handle.
Toffees fail to impress as season fizzles outIt was hard to read too much into this performance from an Everton side that were largely going through the motions. Their season had effectively ended some weeks ago and they could not finish higher than 11th, even if they had managed to beat Bournemouth. But the Toffees' display will still have been disappointing to Everton fans, who were perhaps hoping they would show signs that they could develop into a team that could fight for a top-six finish next season.
Celtic stretched their winning run to nine games as Kristoffer Ajer's late goal earned a Scottish Premiership victory against a battling Aberdeen. Neil Lennnon's men moved 13 points clear in first after a seventh league win in a row before Rangers beat Livingston to reduce the deficit to 10. But the champions were largely subdued for much of the 90 minutes. Ash Taylor cancelled out Celtic's Callum McGregor's opener, before Ajer settled it late on.
There was a false start. In their first season after the club was bought for £45m by Chinese conglomerate Fosun International in 2016, Wolves went through three managers and at one point went two months without a win on their way to a 15th-place Championship finish. But two games into the following campaign, talk inside the club became about promotion to the Premier League. One player was so convinced he told club media only a month later that Wolves were going up.
According to the Mail, the 25-year-old was only offered a new contract with the Liga NOS side because of an odd clause his in previous deal. In 2018, the player and the club agreed that if a bid worth over £30 million for Fernandes was rejected, Sporting would pay him and his agent £4. However, the Portuguese club can't afford to pay this fee outright, so they have simply offered him an increased salary on a four-year deal, allowing the club to pay him and his agent out.
Sofiane Boufal struck with three minutes remaining to earn Southampton a replay at Tottenham after a 1-1 draw in their FA Cup fourth-round clash at St Mary's.

Did you know? Alexander-Arnold has provided 13 assists this season, the most by a defender in a single campaign in the Premier League. Maguire: This was a difficult decision for me. Harry Maguire and Antonio Rudiger have featured in my team of the week on various occasions and both have played prominent roles in their teams securing top-four finishes. Rudiger returned to the Chelsea defence in September after suffering a groin injury.
Spanish tennis legend Rafael Nadal tweeted a picture of him with Robinson along with a message. He said: "We woke up with the sad news of the death of one of our own. You were the one who always made us happy about sport. We are grateful to you. Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu also paid tribute to Robinson. He said: "The world of football will feel your loss deeply. Thank you for sharing your vision of football, your kindness and your intelligence with us.

We’re confident that both teams will score on Sunday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2 between the pair. Both teams will be aiming to make a positive start to the new year as they won’t want to lose any ground in the race for the playoff places and history suggests that we will be in for an open and attacking ninety minutes this Sunday.

From no football for 100 days to matches almost every day for over a year. The coronavirus pandemic wreaked havoc with the sporting calendar and meant there was no domestic action for three months. But one consequence of the game's suspension is that the gap between seasons, which can leave fans starved of any competitive action for two or three months, will be dramatically shorter and packed with other matches to follow.
I really respect Anderlecht, because it is the team who was one of the best in this country for a long time, but this season, something strange is happened with them and they are in the middle of the table. They are this season just not bring good players and they will not play even in the Europa League. On the other side, Gent is playing very good at home and as I remember, they are have so far, 8-2-0, at home, so I think that they will surely win in this duel. I will in any case try that.
Odds keep on being big for Taipei Bear W. I watched them since their 2nd game which they played away from home at Taicheng Blue W and they were priced somewhere around 11.00 for the win and just 1.10 to lose that game, but played really well did not feel any pressure from their opponents scoring the first goal in the first half of the game quite early as well and defending without really giving up too many clear scoring chances to their opponents till the end as they secured a 1-0 win.

We’re confident that both teams will score in Saturday’s cup tie and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1 in Benfica’s favour. The visitors are the clear choice to win the game as their side is packed with international players and they play two divisions above their hosts. However, a heavily rotated squad will even the playing field somewhat and with the hosts flying high in their respective division and scoring on a regular basis, we believe both teams will score on Saturday.
Watford celebrate their first goal against Manchester UnitedReuters KEY MOMENTS 34’ - CHANCE! After some pinball in midfield, the ball drops for Martial and he releases Lingard, who runs through on goal and chips Foster, but also chips the crossbar and sees the ball land on the roof of the net. GOAL! Watford 1-0 Man United (Sarr).
The present rolling 38-game points gap between the two of 55 is the largest it has been in Premier League history. In addition, within only four of the previous 26 completed seasons has the gap between the two sides been greater than the current 26-point difference. And we've only had 14 games so far this campaign.
The 21-year-old is United’s club record signing and a big coup for Chris Wilder as he looks to keep pushing United improbably up the league table. And in news entirely separate from the fact that a Tottenham dressing room source recently trashed Jose Mourinho’s methods, Danny Rose has been shipped off to Newcastle United on loan.
After all, the Reds already have a well-functioning attacking triumvirate of Mohamed Salah , Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino. And Werner would presumably have to oust the latter in order to establish himself permanently in the first XI. Doing this could turn out to be a Herculean task for Werner, because – looking beyond the Brazilian’s underwhelming base stats of eight goals and seven assists – Firmino is a crucial piece of the puzzle in Klopp's offensive armada, linking together play and cleverly utilising space in a way that few players in the world can match.
But that is now just one win in eight games for Pep Clotet's Blues, who have not won at home now in four matches. Clotet made three changes to his starting line-up from Wednesday's home loss to QPR, bringing in Geraldo Bajrami for his full Championship debut, along with Jutkiewicz and midfielder David Davis. Those alterations brought instant rewards when Blues went in front after three minutes. Two Albion defenders went out to close down Maxime Colin wide on the right, but neither challenged, and the Blues right-back threaded his cross between them for the recalled Jutkiewicz to outjump and Nathan Ferguson head home.
Derby have one win in five matches but in all of these five, they have scored; three of them have ended in over 2. After two straight away matches, they will be glad to play in front of their home fans again, this being the first of two straight home games. They have not lost at home in seven matches, and in the last 17 at home, they have suffered just one loss – against Millwall in the Championship.
You need to be really strong as a referee in this atmosphere. Already in the first 30 minutes three of their players went to the ground, I don't know what for," Klopp told reporters. They got a result, the stadium wasn't here to see sensational football. Atletico were here to squeeze a result out of this game, they got the result and so they are happy and we are not that happy.
With cricket in England suspended until May 28, the PCA also said players had agreed to being furloughed by their counties if they are asked to do so. I'm pleased we have reached a collective agreement between the PCA, England Cricket Board (ECB) and the 18 first-class counties," PCA Chairman Daryl Mitchell said.
The 41-year-old is quick to point out that visiting fans left the 2016 World Cup in Russia with changed views about the host country and hopes that spending time in the Gulf state will help challenge some negative views about the Arab world. Football is not exclusive to one part of the world, to one culture, to one society, football is for all of us,” he said.
But it seems to me that Krumkachi will not win in this match. Or if you want, granite will not lose. Well, firstly, because the first round, and in the first round for all teams, the main thing is not to win, not to lose, so as not to be at the tail of the table with zero points. And secondly, no matter what the layouts before the game, they are still potential, then not only the experts, but even the players and coaches themselves do not fully understand how well they spent the offseason, and what it could lead to on the field. And here, dedication and physical training, coupled with fighting qualities, come into play
The north London club also pledged to donate 100,000 pounds ($124,000) to local organisations and a further 50,000 pounds will go towards a COVID-19 Crisis Fund. The Arsenal Foundation has joined forces with HIS Church to deliver 15 tonnes of emergency supplies into Islington," the club said in a statement https://www.
Werner proud of Liverpool links Fresh from scoring the winning goal of the game against Tottenham Hotspur for RB Leipzig, Timo Werner said he was “proud” to hear of links between himself and Premier League leaders Liverpool. The 23-year-old German international is rumoured to have a £50 million release clause, according to the Mirror, and he also said: "I have to improve myself and to learn much more things to get on this level and to play there.
Leicester stuck four goals past a full-strength Villains when the sides clashed in a one-sided Premier League clash at Villa Park in early December, and we think there are goals on offer for the Foxes in Wednesday's Carabao Cup rematch.
Pickford says the criticism is unfair. Everyone hates you, for some reason, that's part of being an England player," he said. I think the press and everybody, the punters - look at Gary Neville - they just want to come for England players. You have got to live with it, you have got to learn. I know what I am capable of and I know what I am good at.
Willian scored two brilliantly taken goals, one a candidate for goal of the month and the other a penalty that was never in doubt once it was clear he was taking it. This was one hell of a performance by the Brazil international. Quite what goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga was doing when he charged into Marcos Alonso like a raging bull I will never know. Whatever the reason, it certainly sealed Tottenham's fate.
Paolo Di Canio: West Ham 2-1 Wimbledon (Premier League)26 March 2000 In a London derby between West Ham and Wimbledon, the Hammers' Trevor Sinclair floats a long ball into the box, which is acrobatically met by Paolo Di Canio. The talismanic Italian pulls off a spectacular volley with both feet off the ground. Shearer: "We talk about watching the ball and he has hit it with his right foot with the left off the ground.
Brentford host Leeds at home with a fairly good record of three wins one draw and one loss in their last five games as compared to their opponents Leeds who show up with 4 losses in their last five games but currently sit on the second spot within the division. Head to head I predict that this game will produce goals that are at least two and above. Predicting a straight win for either of the teams is a tricky prediction but considering the teams scoring performance I think two or more goals are a feasible prediction within this game
Bate will face Minsk away on match day four of the league. BATE have started the season poorly after losing their last two away games against energetik BGU, Slavia Mozyr but got a narrow win against Rukh Brest. They will Minsk on the road who have started the season strongly after winning against belshina, dinamo Minsk but lost away to energetik BGU.
Three minutes before the half-hour mark, Logarzo doubled the home side's lead when she slotted the ball between Kim Thanh's legs after van Egmond's header looped into her path. With seven minutes left in the half, Van Egmond made it 3-0 with a deflected header that left Vietnam seeking to limit the damage as much as possible ahead of the second leg.
I prefer to take the both teams scoring in this one although the over 2.5 goals bet is also quite a decent option as I expect a totally different game than the one during the normal season here when Beer Sheva easily won with 3-0 in the end, so did Maccabi Haifa defeat 5-0 Hapoel Tel Aviv during the normal season at home and just a few days ago lost 2-1 at home to the same Hapoel Tel Aviv side this while the guests also beat another top side Beitar Jerusalem with no less than 3-0 at home last round.
Both teams are not very good, so I expect balanced match . Byttorps IF are considered as favorites probablty because they have competing in one of the lower Swedish football divisions , however they do not have much quality in their squad.
