A Villa victory over Arsenal later on Tuesday will mean the Hornets start Sunday in the bottom three, with their fate no longer in their own hands. Watford down and possibly outPearson's sacking came out of the blue, as the former Leicester boss was still within sight of securing Premier League survival - the remit given to him on his appointment in December. Having taken over with the club seven points adrift at the bottom of the table, he won seven of 20 matches - results that not only lifted them out of the bottom three but also gave him the best win percentage of any Watford boss since they were promoted in 2015.

In the second Austrian league, Vorwärts Steyr and Amstetten face off. Bookmakers have already identified Steyr as a clear favorite. But I don't see Steyr as a clear favorite here. Both teams are close together in the table. Amstetten was able to win all of the last three direct duels and both teams are pretty good after the Corona break. So I can imagine that Vorwärts Steyr will not be so easy to win here.
I would rate both sides as first part of the league table clubs which if given a good run of winning games can get on the top two promotion places with a bit of luck of course. Estoril won here 2-1 last season, and I watched Covilha play their last home game with Benfica B, they conceded a penalty kick, their keeper made the foul, their keeper saved it, still conceded 2 goals as they found themselves 2-1 down late in the game before a very late 2-2 goal, but I was satisfied with the way they created scoring chances in that one and did had a nice chance to make it 2-1 but the rebound after a shot ended in the crossbar, still good attack.

Real Betis head to this game with not just a poor run but also one of the weakest defences in the league. They have conceded two or more in three of their last five but have scored at least two in four of their last five at home. While Real Madrid will be buoyed by their win in El Clasico, they have not kept many clean sheets lately and we expect them to feel the heat at Betis. A 2-1 win for Real Madrid could pass here.
He is an important player and has always showed us this. Gareth Bale should rejoin Tottenham Hotspur, says ex-Real Madrid president Ramon CalderonRyan Giggs doubters must 'eat their words' says Wales' Joe AllenBale has helped Real to four Champions League triumphs since joining from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013, but his relationship with the club's fans has at times been strained. Former Real striker and director of football Predrag Mijatovic said last month that Bale prioritised Wales and playing golf over his club.
And they were travelling into the unknown, because no-one knows what County team will turn up each week; victory over Livingston followed by defeat by Hibs, a morale-boosting win at Pittodrie before a confidence-crushing hammering at Motherwell. County have conceded more goals from set pieces than anyone else this season, and Rangers appeared determined to add a 19th goal to the list with a series of early corners, but everything was scrappy with little fluency from the visitors.
Mansfield Town have not been shy about splashing the cash in recent years as they bid to climb the football pyramid, but while they have somewhat stagnated in League Two this term, their ambition remains without doubt. That ambition was underlined when they convinced Graham Coughlan to leave his post as Manager of League One club Bristol Rovers and join the side in the division below.
In February 2018, his portrait was added to those of David Beckham, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt, among others, that adorn the walls of the academy building at United's Carrington training ground. Last weekend, Solskjaer said he could reach the same heights as five-time Ballon D'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo. It is a bit overwhelming but it is the process of development. The players I looked up to are obviously older now.
Although those are young teams of the top tier members, there should be one close game and tight matchup, between two rival here. Both are trying to setup good youth school, with Brest having some reserves with over age to play in the league.
There is a danger of a repeat scenario playing out this week, with both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Nuno Espirito Santo expected to shuffle their packs again, though the respective managers will be keen to push for victory to avoid a potentially gruelling period of extra time.
In that time, they cut the deficit to fourth-placed Chelsea to three points, progressed to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and the last-16 of the Europa League. Fernandes himself was directly involved in five leagues goal - scoring twice and providing three assists - with no player in the English top-flight contributing more during that period and capping off his first month by winning the Premier League's player of the month award.

Rangers host Hibernian on Wednesday night after suffering another setback in the Scottish Premiership title race with a 0-0 draw at home to Aberdeen on Saturday. It was the second time in a week Gerrard's team dropped points and leaves them seven points behind Celtic with a game in hand, but the manager is is urging his players to "stick together". We realise we're not in our best form but it's very important we don't listen to the outside noise because there's emotions there, there's people who are paid to give an opinion on how we're playing," he said.

Media playback is not supported on this device Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona: I will remember this night forever - Jurgen Klopp I think a European night there in a situation like this is one of those occasions the Atletico players will not understand until they play in it. They have players who have played at Anfield before - the likes of former Chelsea strikers Diego Costa and Alvaro Morata - but these Champions League knock-out games bring a different atmosphere now.
Alex Dyer's side dropped very deep and ultimately could not hold out. They had no out ball and Celtic forced the issue. Griffiths was denied after superb build up by Edouard. Simunovic then sent in a deflected effort that was tipped over by Laurentiu Branescu. Any resistance appeared unlikely to last and was pierced when Christopher Jullien scrambled the ball back into danger from a corner and Ajer bundled home.

Fifa will hold a major review of the international match calendar, which governs the dates of major competitions and tournaments.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has previously said fixture congestion is a "disaster for players".
Burnley snatched a 1-0 win at Bournemouth with Jay Rodriguez pouncing in the 89th minute. While Liverpool were being crowned world club champions with their win over Flamengo in Doha, the main domestic interest had focussed on the league's late match between their two main pursuers. When Vardy scored his 17th league goal of the season for Leicester, Brendan Rodgers' side looked capable of a surprise win but Man City moved smoothly through the gears with Kevin De Bruyne again the architect of their victory.

Despite the awful defensive stats under Kombouaré, les Violets actually created the ninth most chances in Ligue 1 during the New Caledonian's tenure and we think this could do some damage against Brest. The visitors have just one clean sheet on the road this season with 24 goals conceded in their 12 games so we're backing this one to finish 2-1 to the hosts.

Nice have recently had an awful record in this competition with them exiting at the ninth round (the first stage that Ligue 1 teams enter) in each of the last five years. They have never really had an easy first round with many Ligue 1 teams like Toulouse and Rennes knocking them out in recent years but they finally have a great opportunity to progress here against Étoile.
As a manager I need to make sure that mentally my players are ready to give their all for the club if selected," he told BBC Three Counties Radio. Fleetwood are a very good side. We know we're up against it. As soon as the play-offs were confirmed the bookies made us outsiders, after jumping from eighth to third. All these things seem to make Wycombe the team that won't win the play-offs - for no reasons.
Writing ahead of their Sunday evening match with Parma, Inter are third in the table, seven points behind Lazio in second and 11 behind leaders Juventus. Brescia, meanwhile, are bottom of the table, eight points from safety. The visitors are winless in 13 Serie A games and unlikely to end that run against an Inter side undefeated in 18 of their last 20 games.
He is pleased with his effort so far but the Mirror reports him saying: “I put Mesut in the team if I see every day that his attitude, desire and understanding of what we’re trying to do is there. If he has the will and if he is in a better moment than somebody else, I will pick him. But the moment this changes, he won’t play.
Manchester City will move into a new era when the great David Silva ends a glorious decade of success at the end of this season and at Wembley on Sunday Phil Foden offered a glimpse into what the changing of the guard will offer. The noise of excitement around the 19-year-old has been a constant soundtrack to his progress ever since he was named player of the tournament when England won the Under-17 World Cup in 2017.
The understanding provides for the reduction of the compensation for an amount equal to the monthly payments of March, April, May and June 2020", it added, saying personal agreements with Sarri and the players will be finalised in the coming weeks. The Turin-based club, in one of the regions hit hardest by the crisis, have suffered in recent weeks with three of their players having tested positive for the virus -- forward Paulo Dybala, defender Daniele Rugani and midfielder Blaise Matuidi.
But Townsend said it has not always led to an "open recruitment process" in football. All we are asking for is one person in that process," he said. But if they have already got designs on somebody they can appoint that person and they aren't actually breaking that mandatory code rule. The Premier League has not adopted the 'Rooney rule' - and it was reported last week that it has no plans to do so.
We believe that this low-scoring trend will continue for this game and we're going to back the hosts to win here as they've won 3 of their last 6 home ties and Hearts have lost 50% of their previous 6 fixtures on the road, with a final score of 1-0 to Killie.
Big test for home team, in order to see if they are able to play in good form for more than few games, and to make longer run of the winning in the competition. This game against one of the big names of the football in Argentina, could be a challenge for Mar del Plata side, but counting recent two winning matches on side, Aldosivi is going better than in the first part.

Jesus, who last year led Flamengo to the Serie A league title and Copa Libertadores trophy, said he was under the care of the club's medical team.

I listened to the 'Three Lions' song quite a few times while I was making my documentary about Euro 96, but not as often as I did during the tournament itself. Paul Gascoigne used to wake us all up every morning at England's team hotel by opening his bedroom window and playing it on his CD player at full blast. I am not sure the other guests appreciated it as much as we did, but we could always rely on Gazza to keep us entertained.
Of course it’s perfectly normal for him to be involved in transfer speculation after his performances with Leicester City this season. However, we have no interest in this discussion. Both club and Caglar are looking to continue with each other. He is only focusing on the remaining of the season. Emery's guest lecture cancelled due to online abuse Unai Emery has been forced to pull out of a guest lecture slot at a London football university after its announcement was greeted with online abuse.

Duncan will be on my staff and my assistant," Ancelotti said. This is important, Duncan knows really well the characteristics of the players, the atmosphere at the training ground.

Clubs in Germany's Bundesliga have already returned to training and the top-flight season is ready to restart on 9 May if given the go-ahead by the government. In Italy, Serie A sides can return to individual training on 4 May and team training on 18 May after the Italian prime minister announced the first steps in lifting the country's coronavirus lockdown.
