With Italy in lockdown and Serie A and other major soccer leagues closed for the foreseeable future due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ibrahimovic returned to Stockholm, where authorities are taking a somewhat more lax approach. Plenty of businesses have been allowed to remain open and gatherings of up to 50 people are still allowed, with many of the country's elite soccer clubs back in training.
MK dons are in worst run of form right now. They have lost their last 7 matches in all competitions. They sit on 20th spot in the relegation zone and seems like they will be relegated to the league 2 at the end of the season. They are coming from a defeat against Rotherham by 3-2 goals.
Frank Lampard's side have been constantly linked with a move for Leicester City's Ben Chilwell, but it's a deal that is expected to happen next summer - not during the current season. Therefore, the Blues boss would be out of his mind to send both his left-backs to Inter. If the Serie A side were to improve their current offer, a deal for Alonso could become more likely, especially as he has drifted in and out of the first team for Chelsea this season.
Those victories have often come about from catching teams on the counter attack, with dominating possession not a priority - something Klopp has been taken back by.

This is going to be one very interesting match between two side that are going to fight for the top and most certainly will finish at the upper part. Both teams are somewhere near here when it comes to quality but I'm sticking here with the Steelers. Even though Gangwon started a little bit better their defense is just very shaky at the moment. I mean after 7 round they are at the 3rd position with 11 points but their goal difference is 9 - 10. Pohang on the other hand after a bad start, started to uplift their performances lately and they are playing great. They have collected 10 pts so far and with the problems Gangwon is having at the back they should take the upper hand here most certainly.

Belotti coolly converted for his ninth goal of the season. In the other evening game, Genoa scored a highly controversial late winner to beat Sassuolo 2-1 and move off the bottom of the table on the debut of Davide Nicola, their third coach of the season. With four minutes left, Domenico Criscito dispossessed Domenico Berardi and set up a counter-attack for Goran Pandev who scored at the second attempt after his first shot had been saved.
very interesting game and I think it simply must be scored two goals because both teams will be very motivated to win,Blackpool on one side finally won a game after huge winless run and I think tonight they will attack a lot and score at least one or most probably two goals, on the other hand,Gillingham is undefeated for 11 games but also they are winless for 5 in a row on the road and after 10 draws on the road I think it is time for them to either win or lose, either way it should be 2-3 goals in this match
That moment sent one red and white half of Wembley into ecstasy and the other into despair. The finest of fine margins ultimately deciding an unforgettable play-off final. Gillingham 2-2 Manchester City (City won 3-1 on penalties)Hard to believe as it may be now, 21 years ago Manchester City were a third-tier club.

Sarri, who led Napoli to second place with a club record points tally in his final season in charge in 2017-18, was jeered by the crowd and insulting banners were placed in various parts of the city before the match.
However, any game requires ambulances to be present. If the local NHS were not able to supply them, they would have to be done so privately. Greater Manchester Police are uncomfortable with the idea of matches being staged at stadiums in their locality and it will - potentially - divert resources away from areas where they are most needed. Old Trafford and the Etihad Stadium are home to two of the Premier League's biggest clubs and suggested 'neutral venues' if the decision was to go down that route.
Wolves are currently seventh in the Premier League, the position that earned them their place in this competition. They drew their latest match 0-0 with Leicester City, that follows the same scoreline away at Manchester United.
