How realistic is football in May?BBC Sport has been told by a Premier League source that unless they are blocked from doing so by the government, the intention is to restart the season as soon as practical from 30 April.

On paper, Pachuca have the quality needed to be a force at the top end of Liga MX but they remain a pretty inconsistent outfit. Scoring goals isn't a problem for them but keeping them out certainly is, given they scored an average of 1.77 goals a game during the opening phase but also conceded an average of 1.44; a theme that continued in last weekend's opening round.
I’d like to be upset about the delay to the season but I don’t know anyone who goes the game – or in the wider fanbase – who’s moaning about calling fixtures off. There are more important matters.

Chelsea have extended Olivier Giroud's contract by 12 months, which means the France striker will be at Stamford Bridge next season. Giroud had made just five Premier League appearances in January and was in the last six months of his contract. But after an injury to fellow Blues striker Tammy Abraham, Giroud, 33, impressed on his return, scoring twice in four league games. I am delighted to continue my journey and adventure at Chelsea," Giroud said.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said he is "not holding his breath" on Rashford's fitness after the in-form England forward injured his back when coming on as a substitute in the FA Cup replay against Wolverhampton Wanderers this week. Going to Anfield without Rashford would be a major blow to United's hopes of ending Liverpool's 38-match unbeaten league run, but Berbatov says 18-year-old Greenwood can step up.
He keeps a level ground. Twice in 2019-20, Burnley have lost three games in a row, but Sean Dyche's team have responded with successive victories each timeDyche himself continues to preach the mantra he offered upon joining Burnley in October 2012, that they must foster a "one-club mentality" that ensures all members - from the chairman, through the board, manager, players and fans - pull in the same direction.
Senderos, who also made two appearances on loan at Everton, played in Major League Soccer for Houston Dynamo from 2017-18 and he ended his career in his native Switzerland with FC Chiasso in the second tier.

I look forward to the next chapter.
McTominay has made 21 appearances in all competitions this term and Solskjaer said the youngster would stiffen United's midfield with his energy and commitment, and also offer a goal threat.

Or a game at all. Or actually betting at all. Sturridge has actually been banned because it was deemed he shared information with his brother and friends about potential transfer away from Liverpool, to Sevilla and West Brom in 2018, information that was apparently then used for betting. He was originally fined £75,000 and given a six-week ban (four weeks suspended), but the FA appealed against that decision and his punishment increased to a four-month ban and £150,000 fine.
He has scored seven times in all competitions this campaign. Other options include midfielder Dele Alli or academy graduate striker Troy Parrott, although Mourinho said on Tuesday that he felt the latter was "not ready". Defensive issues for LeipzigLeipzig are enjoying their second Champions League campaign, with 32-year-old coach Julian Nagelsmann steering them to the last 16 for the first time in his debut season in charge.

I will back the hosts to get the win here as they won 3-1 and 4-1 their previous two home games against Jong Utrecht team with a very strong start to this season just that lately especially away from home they have not been scoring and lost 3 games in a row even a 4-0 defeat for them and since they have a bad record here and the hosts are scoring more goals than needed to win their games even on the road lately being in fine form right now will back a 2 goals win or bigger of the hosts here.
It felt like Magpies boss Steve Bruce was making progress with his results before Christmas, but now it feels like this is a period he just needs to get through, until his better players are fit again. Wolves also suffered a couple of defeats over Christmas but I don't see any cause for concern - they have got so much quality in their squad. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Hugh's prediction: 2-0Matthew's prediction: 2-1 Tottenham v Liverpool (17:30 GMT)When I think of this fixture, I think of Dejan Lovren's terrible day at Wembley in 2017 when Harry Kane took him apart.
Altrincham and Telford will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League North. Altrincham this season have the following results: 12W, 8D and 7L. Meanwhile Telford have 9W, 8D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Match between Ruh Brest vs Ynergetyk BDU. I think that away team will may win and my bet on this match is 1 + 0 ah (dnb). I think that home team not as strong as Energetyk. This is clash of Belarus football league, Ruh Brest is nothing special this season and they are maybe 50% worst team away from home then it is case with home games so I believe that Ynergetyk is favorite in this match. They play very good on always and they play more time in this league. Ruh Brest is a Benjamin in the league and does not play so well.
Manchester United will against Club Brugge in match UEFA Europe League. My prediction this match could be the won for Manchester United with margin score is 2 goals. Manchester United have great result on last 6 match in qualification due to Manchester United have won in 4 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Club Brugge have not good result in qualification Champions League due to Club Brugge only draw in 3 match and 3 match is lose. Therefore, I think that Manchester United can defeat Club Brugge on this match due to Manchester United have great result on last 3 match in qualification. Surely Manchester United have more chance to win on this match.
Under replacement Tata Martino, Messi’s injury problems, absent for so long, came back to haunt him. In May he had seen an incredible run come to an end after scoring in 21 league games in succession and by November he was sidelined due to injury again. Ronaldo was trophyless but his far superior goal tally across the year and his devastating hat-trick in Portugal’s World Cup play-off against Sweden saw him edge it.
Merw is really not a top team in fact Altyn Asyr played here two rounds ago and won the game with no less than 4-0 in the end but Altyn Asyr is of course the side which won most titles in this country lately and with good results in the AFC Cup competition as well while Ahal despite having a record of 6-0-2 they lost last round at home to Altyn Asyr with 2-1 being dominated and their only goal came from the penalty spot, this while they also got beaten away at same Altyn Asyr also with just 2-1 in the end.
Bayern Munich have fined Jerome Boateng after the defender broke government lockdown rules by leaving Munich to visit his ill son.

Bavaria was the first German state to go into lockdown in response to the ongoing spread of the coronavirus. Boateng said he would respect the decision but called it "sad".
Klopp has a strong point that there is no sense in having a winter break - and urging clubs to take advantage of it and not play friendly games - if the players are then asked to play in a Cup tie during that period. But there is also no escaping the fact that Klopp's action is sending a clear message that he and the club simply don't care about winning the FA Cup.

The performance wasn't there," said the club's chief football officer Zvonimir Boban, a former Milan player. It hurts a lot, it was embarrassing, this can't be Milan. It was very painful to see their (Atalanta's) domination. Milan have had eight coaches and changed hands twice since winning the last of their 18 Serie A titles in 2011 and they have not taken part in the Champions League since 2013-14.
These teams played in a 0-0 draw last time they played after they had played in a lot of high scoring games between each other before that. This could be another low scoring game with the away team seeing 2 low scoring games in their past 3 games. They have defended well in 2 of these games allowing teams to not score against them so this could be another attempt to defend well again now their playing away. They will look to defend this game for as long as they can before attempting to score the late winning goal in the game.
And the second being the potential issue of losing Brendan Rodgers, who amid interest from Arsenal confirmed reports that he does have a release clause in his contract (reported to be £14m). There probably is [a clause] in most manager's contracts. It is all hypothetical," Rodgers told Sky Sports. My focus is very much with Leicester.

Victory lifted City seven points above Leicester in the battle for runners-up spot behind runaway leaders Liverpool who remain 19 points clear before their clash with lowly West Ham United at Anfield on Monday.
