What was it like at the first closed-door matches? German football expert Constantin Eckner was at Eintracht Frankfurt's 3-1 defeat by Borussia Monchengladbach to find out. Disinfected balls, temperature checks and silence - football's new reality?Haaland scores as Dortmund win in style on Bundesliga return'Some people were fitted with tracking devices'Staging spectator-free matches and thus removing the league's biggest asset, its atmosphere, was a major talking point ahead of the restart on Saturday and will probably remain one, as public gatherings are prohibited in Germany at least until the end of August.
Maldon & Tiptree have won four of their last six matches in all competitions, including the 2-1 win over Leyton Orient in the last round of the FA Cup, scoring an impressive 19 goals during that period and conceding 11. With no clean sheets in their last six matches we’re not expecting Maldon & Tiptree to keep Newport County out on Friday night but we do believe the hosts will remain in the FA Cup come the final whistle.
I was a full running motion and he’s headed the ball against my hand. Of course if you’re running like that and the ball hits your hand with the rule like it is it’s handball but I’ve not intentionally meant to handle it. VAR have checked it and disallowed the goal – it’s a real kick in the teeth. It’s not just the thoughts from me, it’s the thoughts of every Premier League player, pretty much everyone doesn’t want VAR in the game.
It's a small thing that you do personally to ensure that we can get through the next period of time and part of that is taking that salary cut. Read the full story 8:30 - Good morning Hello again. Hope you are keeping well. Why not start your day with a read of The Warm-Up? Which is in defence of Premier League footballers *shocked emoji*.
Walsall have only scored 10 goals at home this season and Crawley have netted 16 times on the road, and it is this added scoring power that backs up our prediction for the visitors to avoid defeat this weekend. Crawley might score a decent amount of goals on the road but they have only kept clean sheets in 8% of those matches and are yet to win-to-nil away from home.
United dealt transfer blow as top target close to contract renewal Manchester United target James Maddison is close to agreeing a new contract at Leicester City, according to the Telegraph. The England international has taken the Premier League by storm since his arrival from Norwich City in the summer of 2018, attracting the attention of United and Arsenal.
Video - Ljungberg praises Pepe as he continues to adapt to Premier League00:35 12:00 - The Chaaampioooons The Champions League is back tonight, of course, and it's a big night for the champions of Europe. They head to Salzburg in the knowledge that defeat will likely knock them out at the group stages - and captain Jordan Henderson knows exactly how important it is.
Danny Ings has scored 15 Premier League goals this season. He has played once for England, in October 2015. It is not just in attack where Southgate might have some concerns about the form or fitness of his players, though. In goal, Jordan Pickford has not been great for Everton for a while now. Sheffield United's Dean Henderson has probably been England's best keeper, based on his performances in the Premier League, and Nick Pope has been decent at Burnley as well.
I'll speak to president Aurelio de Laurentiis tomorrow and we'll make the best decision for Napoli. Manager Carlo Ancelotti was seemingly looking ahead after his side's 4-0 thrashing of Genk took the Serie A club into the last 16 of the Champions League. But the 60-year-old Italian was unaware about what was to follow - he was sacked as manager just a few hours later. With vacancies available at Arsenal and Everton, could the former Chelsea boss potentially make a return to the Premier League in his next job?European football journalists Guillem Balague, Mina Rzouki and Kristof Terreur discuss the options on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.

Coventry city is here to host Lincoln City on Saturday in the league one game of England, the kick off will be at 17:00, So far the hosts are demonstrating its qualityness in football because they record many wins so far than loses so I opined that they will easily take all points and they have no worries of injuries so far and they have good strikers and solid defense ,that means they are not conceding too much and they have good scoring rate.
Six of St. Etienne’s last 10 matches have produced over 2. In Ligue 1, St. Etienne have six wins and two losses in the last 10 while they have one clean sheet in the last five Ligue 1 matches. They are unbeaten in five Ligue 1 matches at home, having won three, and have three clean sheets as well in the five matches.
Elgin City is team who is in excellent form and I believe that they will continue series of wins and in this round in Scotland league 2. So, this team is really playing great in last few weeks and in that period, they are won in even five duels, of six matches, with just one lose. In last two rounds, they are won 3-1 and 2-1, while rival is also solid but not in so good form like Elgin City. In last duel of this two rivals, it was just 0-0, but tonight I really see duel with at least three goals.
In January, he can leave on a free. In this moment, he needs to choose which road is best for him. Jose: I'm not a villain Jose Mourinho has said he is not playing the role of “villain or enemy” when he returns to Manchester United as Tottenham head coach on Wednesday. Spurs travel to Old Trafford for a midweek Premier League clash that falls 12 months after United sacked Mourinho.
With reasons to oppose both teams for the win and double chance odds too short to warrant serious investment, there's no hiding from the notion that this is a pretty nasty fixture from a betting perspective to kick-off the La Liga weekend.

Slutsk started really scoring goal after goal after a poor run which saw them in 7 games in a row with 5 defeats and just 2 draws to their name they first won 3-2 at home against a decent Rukh Brest 2 side, and second last round even drew against the odds away from home at Minsk 2 where they had the lead 2-1 in the game and also 1-0 but had to settle with a 3-3 draw in the end, but excellent attack still their defense is quite weak as I also remember them not so long at home only drawing 3-3 against a modest Vitebsk 2 side.

Olympiakos are looking to become the first side to eliminate English opposition in back-to-back knockout rounds in a single season in major European competition since Bayern Munich beat Arsenal (last 16) and Manchester United (quarter-final) in the 2013-14 Champions League. Heading into the last 16 of this season's Europa League, only Basel (six) have won more matches in the competition than Wolves (five), while no side has netted more goals than the English side (17 - level with Sporting Braga).
Forward Eddie Nketiah will stay at Arsenal for the rest of the season rather than go back out on loan. The 20-year-old was linked with a loan move to Championship side Bristol City after being recalled from a loan spell at Leeds United earlier this month. Nketiah only started two league games for Leeds, although he did score five goals in his spell at Elland Road. Arsenal are without top goalscorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for the next three matches through suspension.
Mohamed Salah 100 70 0. As you can see from the table above Vardy does have a poorer goal to game ratio than every player on this list bar Mane but he more than holds his own, and that is the point entirely. Vardy is a player who still plays for a team that is not part of the traditional “Big 6”. Plus it’s not as if Vardy should necessarily be knocked for his endurance; for example everyone knows how much Aguero’s absence can impact Manchester City.
Manchester City's appeal against a two-year ban from European club competition will begin on 8 June at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas). The Premier League champions were given the punishment by Uefa in February after being found to have committed "serious breaches" of club licensing and financial fair play regulations. City have denied the breaches, saying they are "simply not true". The hearing is listed for three days and is not open to the public.
Grecia will be meeting with the away team cartagines and this game we have given e given it an under of 3.5 total goals as looking at the last games this two teams have played together they are not so that good in scoring many goals an so this makes us to be very sure with this bet
Kaiserslautern played a couple of games lately both in the league but also in the cup competition with over 3.5 goals not only at home but also in away games they have a recent 3-2 loss at home in the league a 2-2 draw in the cup with 2nd league club Nurnberg at home but they won after extra-time that cup game and progressed forward in the competition which is good for them but they want more from their current league standings which is not great should be scoring goals here but Hansa is capable of scoring themselves winning here 2-0 last season.
However, Lineker - who is donating two months of his BBC salary to the British Red Cross - criticised his former club Tottenham for furloughing staff. People do focus on footballers, they are an easy target," he told BBC Radio 4's World at One. There are lots of other people in society who earn huge money - billionaires, CEOs on huge money - I hope it’s not just footballers who are targeted. Football will, and should, do something.

Eden Hazard went off injured for Real Madrid on 67 minutesThe long-serving Levante captain, 32, was then substituted immediately after scoring just his second goal of the season and his team-mates survived some late pressure by Real to earn just their second win in seven league games. Gareth Bale and fellow forward Luka Jovic were absent through illness, with Isco and Luka Modric the two changes for Real after last week's 2-2 draw at home to Celta Vigo.
And why Fred wasn't judged to have pushed Azpilicueta, who in turn pushed Brandon Williams, when Chelsea's goal was disallowed I will never know. The only speck of genuine quality in an otherwise ordinary match was Wan-Bissaka's wonderful cross for Anthony Martial to score. Wan-Bissaka was also responsible for the most fantastic block on Pedro. The former Crystal Palace defender is starting to look a much better player with the ball at his feet.
Sancho will be no exception to the rule and this summer should mark the end of his German chapter. He is one of the greatest talents of his generation, as comfortable finishing (32 goals) as helping his team-mates (37 assists). His experience in the Champions League and England national team make him highly coveted – especially as he only turned 20 this week! WHO IS INTERESTED? The whole of Europe.
Schalke are set to travel to Weser-Stadion this Saturday to take on Werder Bremen in the German Bundesliga. Werder have been unable to find a win in any of their last seven Bundesliga games. They will face a tough test versus Schalke in this weekend's fixture.
Angel Correa scored late on as Atletico Madrid stunned Barcelona 3-2 in Saudi Arabia to reach the Spanish Super Cup final. Koke's clinical strike put Atletico ahead early in the second half. Lionel Messi equalised with a driven finish and then Antoine Griezmann headed Barcelona into the lead. Alvaro Morata converted a penalty to make it 2-2 before Correra ran through and grabbed the winner with a powerful strike that was too strong for Neto.
Bonetti returned to the game as a goalkeeping coach at Chelsea as well as with England, while such was his stature and respect within the game that he was also called upon to work at Everton, Newcastle United, Fulham and Manchester City. Quite simply, Bonetti was one of the finest exponents of his art, a true gentleman who was held in complete respect and was still often seen around Stamford Bridge, whether it was appearing on the pitch - where he was always greeted with huge acclaim - or behind the scenes meeting fans.
Golf, tennis & bowls allowed from FridayScottish Racing aim for 22 June restartThe situation is reviewed at least every three weeks - the next is scheduled for 18 June - with further phases implemented if enough progress is made on keeping the virus under control. Professional sport is in phase two; a "restricted number" of spectators are allowed in stage three - potentially mid-July; with crowd restrictions eased further in stage four.
The Saints are at least clicking up top, with two players in rich form. Southampton's last 10 Premier League goals have been scored by either Danny Ings (6) or James Ward-Prowse (4). The latter has three in his last four appearances, thanks to strong finishing from dead balls. Given that 33% of Norwich’s away goals conceded have come from set-pieces or penalties, we think Ward Prowse is a well priced anytime goalscorer option.
Of course, much of their success stems from Chris Wilder’s fantastic tactical awareness and their defensive organisation, but they aren’t shy going forward either. In fact, they have scored in all but one of their Premier League away days this term, and on Sunday they face a Man City side that have conceded in six of their nine home matches.
It seems like Ake could return to his former club Chelsea and Rugani has only started one Serie A match for Juventus this season, so maybe the best option would be to go all out for French defender Upamecano. However, RB Leipzig are currently top of the Bundesliga table, so would he want to leave a potential title win in favour for a rebuilding job at the Emirates? Read the full story Chelsea dealt Dembele blow after £34m bid rejected Chelsea have had a cash-plus-player offer worth around £34 million rejected from Lyon over the transfer of French forward Moussa Dembele.
Arsenal, despite that late scare, never seriously threatened to let their lead slip in a controlled performance built around the excellence of Willock and Matteo Guendouzi plus the threat of Nketiah and Saka. The only blot on their night was a second-half ankle injury that saw defender Shkodran Mustafi taken off on a stretcher. Arteta's plan takes shapeIt is easy to see the similarities between Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola, his managerial mentor at Manchester City - and not just in the Euro-chic wardrobe.
We've not got the credit we deserve at times. To take this season, and the teams above us, like Brentford and West Brom who are fantastic teams, to the wire is fantastic. Trio in the play-off hunt The race for the final play-off places is also quite intriguing. Two of West Brom, Fulham and Brentford are guaranteed to be in the play-offs, but the other two spots are still up for grabs between Nottingham Forest, Cardiff City and Swansea City.
The team began the new season with new hope after American billionaire Rocco Commisso bought the club in June in a deal reported by Reuters to be valued at £132 million. The new owners immediately strengthened the squad, signing Brazilian forward Pedro, Chilean midfielder Erick Pulgar, Liverpool teenager Bobby Duncan as well as veteran French winger Franck Ribery, who joined after nine seasons at Bayern Munich, and also managed to hold on to forward Federico Chiesa.

He just takes too long. What is he waiting for?! "If you're going to make a decision at least do it quickly. These are huge moments for United in terms of trying to get into the top four, and you've got your experienced goalkeeper. I think there's almost a bit of arrogance to it, 'look at me. I would have lynched him at half-time.
