It's to give support to all the players and show that black, white, Chinese or whatever, who you are - there is only one race. Pogba, who was racially abused on social media in August, has deliberately avoided trying to get central involvement through world governing body Fifa. The 2018 World Cup winner handed his wristband to a United fan after the warm-up. Racism has been a regular problem in football across Europe in 2019.

They are eighth in the Premier League, eight points adrift of the top-four and the mood has become toxic. Any goodwill Emery retained has leaked away rapidly. NO IDENTITY So what has gone so wrong? Emery vowed to bring a modernise Arsenal's style but 18 months in and his team has no clear identity. Defensively they have been soft and the goals of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have largely papered over the cracks.

Video - Could isolation camps help finish Premier League season?05:41 And, according to Adam Crafton and David Ornstein, one of the solutions is apparently to finish the season in China. Yes, one Premier League club apparently expects that having successfully flatted their curve after containing their own outbreak, China would apparently welcome with open arms planes full of people from a country which, sadly, is nowhere near that scenario.
Liverpool’s dominance in the Premier League has shown no signs of abating during the festive fixture pileup, and a hard fought 1-0 win over Wolves on Sunday saw their lead restored to 13 points as we head into the new year.

This game could be tricky, since Real does not have away win in this part of the competition, and host went to big drop, counting previous four games. Also, home side lost their the second spot, for the first time in long period, and could make it in the playoff from the first round.
On Thursday, football's global players union FIFPRO said it had written to the Turkish league asking it to "urgently reconsider" its decision to continue matches and training. Numerous foreign players have contacted us to say they are uncomfortable continuing as #COVID19 spreads," FIFPRO said on Twitter.
But there's a reason that nickname stuck - he's just a magician, isn't he?I can still remember David's first training session at City's old Carrington training ground in the summer of 2010, because it was that good. I knew a bit about him because I had seen him play for Spain, but he still surprised everyone. His technique? Wow. Just wow. I'd got used to seeing good players arrive for big money at City by then, but no-one stood out straight away like he did.
They've only won the first leg in two of their previous 14 League Cup semi-finals (W2 D7 L5). Brendan Rodgers has progressed from his last 30 domestic cup ties with Liverpool, Celtic and Leicester - the last team to beat Rodgers was Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-final in 2014-15, when he was Liverpool manager. Aston Villa have scored 16 goals in the League Cup this season, six more than any other team.
When we look at the recent performances of both teams, especially in their respective home and away games, a lack of goals starts to appeal. Specifically, 'Both Teams to Score – NO' gets the nod. Derby may have only failed to score in one of their home games this term, but their attacking efforts haven't been great, which is why they scored more than one on so few occasions. Their defensive efforts have been very encouraging, as three clean sheets in their last five suggest. What's more, under Rowett, Millwall have started to give little away on the road, conceding just two goals in their last three, during which time they've given away very few clear-cut scoring opportunities. Add in that both teams rank in the bottom half when it comes to shots on target for this term and a lack of goals looks to be the way to go.
With the rest of Europe's top leagues on hiatus, the Bundesliga is the centre of attention in the world of football. Despite some criticism from fans and politicians, the return of the league has been a major success for clubs and broadcasters. After the Bundesliga made its decision to return to action and got the go-ahead from the authorities, the league was under fire from politicians, journalists and fans for weeks.
There was hope of another European challenge in 1970, and things got off to a good start with an aggregate victory over Basel, but Celtic faced a great scare in the second round. After beating Benfica 3-0 at Celtic Park, it should have been a comfortable passage through to the quarter-final, but Stein's men got a taste of their own medicine, losing 3-0 at Estadio da Luz, as Benfica equalised with the last kick of the 90 minutes.
All things considered, although we believe Aberdeen will win the game, we see far better value in backing the Both Teams to Score line and feel it's the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned. As mentioned above, Livingston's games on the road almost always generate goals and with Aberdeen themselves having kept just 1 clean sheet in their last 7 matches, it's not hard to imagine both sides scoring, with a 2-1 margin of home victory on the cards.
I feel bad for Ernesto Valverde. He doesn't deserve this. I hope the situation can be resolved soon, I wish that as a club member. That's all. Valverde’s predecessor Luis Enrique also leapt to the coach’s defence. He hasn't done anything, apart from what it means to have lost a match at a club like Barcelona," Luis Enrique told Movistar.
Like anything, you have to take the positives out of it and do what you can. So far, me and the family are well, and I’ll continue to work hard, work in the gym, work from home and do what I can. We’ll just have to wait and see. My family is well, and obviously everyone is thinking about coronavirus at the moment and it’s a time to be together, to stay safe and hopefully everything will be all right.
'Correct Score' players are pointed in the direction of a 1-0 win for the visitors. Pompey have tightened up of late, keeping a clean sheet in each of their last two. They've not been prolific on the road but have enough forward quality to edge it against a side that has often misfired at home. MK Dons have failed to score in four out of six against top-half teams at home this season.
FC Volendam and Jong PSV will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie in Holland. FC Volendam this season have the following results: 12W, 4D and 5L.

What is right for Norwich, or clubs further down the pyramid who are going to struggle to survive this crisis, is not necessarily right for the so-called bigger clubs. Despite this, many clubs are doing great things in their local communities right now and they should be applauded for that. On top of that, we have seen the Premier League promise to advance £125m to the English Football League and National League and give £20m towards the NHS.

Local newspaper Le Bien Public reported on Saturday that Lille made the request after losing 1-0 at Dijon in Ligue 1 last weekend. Neither Lille nor the LFP could immediately be reached for comment. Reporters in the news conference room were said to have been able to hear Galtier fuming at his players in the adjacent dressing room after the game, saying: "We lose to pub teams! Amiens, Reims, Toulouse!" Galtier later apologised for his wording, saying that he had meant teams fighting for their survival in the top flight of French football.

Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster is Critchley's main concern after picking up an ankle injury in training. He's got a knock so he's doubtful," confirmed Critchley. We're assessing him [on Monday]; fingers crossed he makes it. We'll see. Aston Villa boss Dean Smith is waiting on the fitness of midfielder Conor Hourihane. He was struggling in training but he should be OK for Tuesday," Smith said.

The universe appears to have finally noticed that the Cherries have been surviving in the Premier League in defiance of all common sense, and is taking steps to right this situation. That win moves West Ham up to 16th and bounces Bournemouth into the relegation zone. There’s an interesting experiment going on down at the bottom: West Ham and Watford have embraced managerial change; Bournemouth and Aston Villa are, for the moment, standing by their man.
A winding-up petition filed against the club was adjourned three times before eventually being dismissed by the High Court on 31 July. Although the CVA had now been agreed, the EFL was not satisfied the club had given enough evidence of their financial viability, leading to a number of postponed fixtures while the organisation awaited "the clarity required". On 9 August, the Shakers were given a 14-day deadline to provide the necessary information or face expulsion - and, although that deadline was extended, a final-hour takeover bid by C&N Sporting Risk collapsed.
A total of 748 players and staff from 19 clubs were tested. Norwich City did their tests on Tuesday and are yet to announce their results.

A number of other team-mates have joined Deeney's stance in not training and they will follow individual programmes at home.

Martin Keown: Virgin van Dijk (4)I 100% endorse that Henderson is the Footballer of the Year, because that is a slightly different award - the football writers are encouraged to take into account things that happen away from the field. But the player of the year for me is Van Dijk, for everything he has done and brings to that Liverpool team. His pace, his stature, and how commanding he is in the air.

AZ extended their fine run of clean sheets and win when they beat Utrecht 3-0 away last time out but Sunday’s hosts do have a Europa League match against Partizan to negotiate before then can hand the full attention to visiting VVV. Third from bottom VVV won 2-1 at home to Twente last weekend but still boast the worst goal difference in the Eredivisie this season.
Making the Champions League is vital for a Napoli side who had expected to make a push for the title this season. If this run drags on to January, then expect to see a switch at the top.

Lawro's prediction: 4-0Simon's prediction: Poor Eddie Howe just cannot seem to get his Bournemouth side moving - it's hard to see where their bad run will end, and things do not look good for them at the bottom of the table. On top of that, United are flying and playing with real freedom. Sorry Eddie, but this is not a game anyone would want right now. Wolves v Arsenal (17:30 BST)Arsenal have won three in a row in the league and FA Cup but this will be a good indicator of where they are actually at because Wolves are one of the form teams in the Premier League at the moment.

A Karim Benzema double looked to have secured a victory for the hosts, who were instead made to rue both missed chances and a string of excellent saves from another of their old boys, Keylor Navas. And a crazy game was almost given an even more dramatic ending too, with Gareth Bale - who was booed when he came on as a substitute - rattling the post with a 94th-minute free-kick.
Jahn Regensburg are simply the better team in this German Second division match and both can play being relaxed. After the 4-1 defeat in Heidenheim, a reaction is expected from Regensburg team.
