Stoke had to come from behind to get that point in midweek and are now five points above the relegation places and with a superior goal difference (albeit a minus one). With 22nd placed Hull playing Luton who are a place below them at the weekend, Stoke look safe, especially if bottom-of-the-table Barnsley lose at Leeds on Thursday evening.
The Europa League awaits both sides if they finish third in their group. Who needs what to qualify in the Champions LeagueIt is anticipated the Premier League will take into account the wishes of the competing clubs before deciding when each game is played. Manchester United are due to visit Chelsea in the most eye-catching fixture. Leaders Liverpool are at Norwich, with second-placed Leicester playing Wolves at Molineux.
It is true that we didn’t sign a centre-back in the summer of 2018 and it is true there was a difference of opinion on one or two players between the manager and the recruitment department,” Woodward said. Sometimes I have to be one who delivers the ‘no’, which isn’t easy. Our natural tendency is to back the manager in every possible circumstance.
He doubled his tally later in the game from the penalty spot after VAR ruled that Karim Bellarabi had been fouled in the box. This came just six minutes after the hosts had finally given their 'cardboard army' something to remain impassively immobile to when Marcus Thuram fired in an equaliser. A Sven Bender header made sure of the points for Leverkusen with nine minutes left, giving them a win that sees them leapfrog Monchengladbach into third place in the table, five points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
It was a tough ask. Napoli operated on a smaller budget and were overachieving in terms of results. With players nearing the end of their contracts and looking for gratitude, there was a limit to what could be managed. Struggling to convert the many chances they created, Napoli were suffering - but when president Aurelio de Laurentiis ordered the players to attend a week-long training camp after they slipped 211 points behind Juve, he effectively broke them.
I have to make a squad list and sometimes he isn't in it but there's no problem, it's not a lack of respect," Zidane told a news conference ahead of the Osasuna game, before revealing his squad. We still count on him and he wants to fight for his place in the team. He hasn't been in the team recently but we still count on him, we know what he can give us.

Seoul will against Kedah in match Champions League Asia. My prediction this match could be win for Seoul due to Seoul more strong rather than Kedah. Even though Seoul on last 4 match in International Friendly only have 3 match is draw and 1 match is lose, I think Seoul on this match still will be won. Meanwhile Kedah on last match in Champions League Asia have great result due to Kedah can defeat Wofoo Tai Po with score is 5-1. Nevertheless, Kedah not more strong rather than Seoul. Moreover Seoul will played this match in the home and surely they will over confidence.
Chennaiyin will host Kerala Blasters for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. Also, both teams have a poor results in the last matches. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. In my opinion, the visitors have a real chance to pick up the victory. Kerala Blasters have an effective attack in recent times. In last game Kerala Blasters played in a 2-2 draw with Jamshedpur. Also, we have Chennaiyin who's is one worst teams in this league. Hosts have low potential. I think, they have chance relatively to win. My pick - Kerala Blasters to win.
That remains the case. The scenario that sees ninth place qualify for Europe. And, it may be a side issue at present, but there is a reason for all Premier League clubs down to Crystal Palace to take notice. For, if City are banned from Europe next season, there is a scenario where the ninth-placed team gets a Europa League spot. With no City involvement, the remaining clubs in the top five would qualify for the Champions League.
It's all about timing, football. Right place, right time," Curtis sighs. I would have got my chance. I can't say I'd be where Troy is now, but we would both have got our chances. As time wore on, Curtis became disenchanted with the game. He signed professional terms with Walsall at 18, for £150 a week, but had already begun to feel his enthusiasm wane. They weren't looking for footballers," he says.
December's 0-0 El Clasico stalemate at Camp Nou was a decent result for Real Madrid, however, further draws against Valencia (1-1) and Athletic Bilbao (0-0) on the run up to Christmas mean Los Blancos are now playing catch-up with arch-rivals Barcelona in the La Liga title race.
But Arsenal suffered a huge blow when top scorer Aubameyang was sent off for the tackle that left Meyer unable to continue, loan signing Cenk Tosun coming on in his place. There was an audible gasp inside Selhurst Park when a replay was shown on the big screens after the VAR decision had been made. Pepe thought he had hit the winner with 10 minutes remaining but his blistering left-footed effort was superbly tipped on to the post by Guaita who then spread himself at the feet of Lacazette when the ball rebounded back into the middle of the penalty box.

Having that determination is why they have been able to fight back to get something after going behind in games this season - I saw them do it for myself against Bournemouth on the opening weekend. Wilder's tactic of employing overlapping centre-backs has attracted much attention this season, but it is nothing new to Blades fans. United essentially set up with a 3-5-2 formation. John Egan is usually the central of the three defenders and a fixed point - in his absence against Manchester United, Phil Jagielka filled that role.

Hertha Berlin fc and Union Berlin fc are going to lock their horns for the second time this season in Bundesliga premier league, the guests have won their first game of H2h. The great performance shown by Hertha Berlin in their last away game to Hoffenheim fc where they won by three goals to nil is expected to be available during this game so that they can take maximum points. It seems that the hosts are on three games winning streak and they levelled their last game at this place when they were visited by Werder Bremen.
Wolves are unbeaten in five matches (two wins, three draws) against United since 2018, though the clean sheet they secured against them at Molineux earlier this month was the first time they kept them out.
Here is what Liverpool can still achieve:Taking 15 points from a possible 18 remaining will take them to 101 points, one better than City's total from the 2017-18 season. Claiming those five victories will also mean they win 33 games during the season, beating City's number from the same campaign. City won the title that season with a record 19-point margin to second - Liverpool are currently 20 clear.
Atalanta, who have scored 19 goals more than any other side in Italy's top flight this season, twice appeared on course to move up to second in the table with a 10th straight win. Alejandro Gomez's clever turn and pass released Zapata to open the scoring - with the Colombia forward fending off Matthijs de Ligt and then sliding his shot past Juve goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. Marten de Roon's handball presented Ronaldo with his first goal of the evening from the penalty spot but Malinovskiy's low drive saw Gian Piero Gasperini's side regain the initiative.

My team-mates enjoy it. There’s a little bit of joking here and there but, overall, they don’t mind me doing the TikTok as long as I perform on the field. A couple of players have TikTok now – I think I’ve inspired them to get it. The first person that comes to mind is Robert Lewandowski – I think I inspired him to get it but I’m not sure, maybe he got inspiration from somewhere else. I try to take funny experiences in my personal life to twist it into a funny way to express myself.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola's mother, Dolors Sala Carrio, has died aged 82 in Barcelona after contracting coronavirus. Everyone associated with the club sends their most heartfelt sympathy at this most distressing time to Pep, his family and all their friends," said Manchester City on social media. Monday's increase of 637 coronavirus deaths means 13,055 have died in Spain. Last month, Guardiola donated 1m euros (£920,000) to help fight the outbreak.
Games played: 26. Goals scored: 32Teenage striker Erling Braut Haaland is the hottest property in Europe at the moment and his scoring rate has not slowed since joining Borussia Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg in January. The 19-year-old Norwegian rejected the approach of compatriot Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the Manchester United manager, and has started life in Germany in sensational fashion, netting eight goals in his first four games.
Investment banker Gary Hoffman has been named as the new chairman of the Premier League. The 59-year-old succeeds acting chair Claudia Arney and will work alongside Richard Masters, who was appointed chief executive in December. Richard Scudamore had previously held the position of executive chairman from 2014 until the end of 2018. It is an honour to join the Premier League as chair," said Hoffman after a shareholder meeting on Friday.
Ultimately, this is a match Santos should be winning comfortably. Motivated by their desire to ensure they finish inside the top 4, the hosts have everything needed to go on and win the game and the fact that 29 points separates the sides in the standings more than tells its own story.
Only West Ham (24) have dropped more points from winning positions in the Premier League this season than Arsenal (21). Lacazette became the first Arsenal player to score home and away against Spurs in a single Premier League season since Per Mertesacker in 2012-13. Son has scored 13 goals in all competitions at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, more than any other player (Kane has 12). Son is the first Tottenham player to both score and assist in a Premier League game versus Arsenal since Emmanuel Adebayor in February 2012.
That will depend on medical protocols being finalised and accepted. Footballers have so far been limited to individual training. A vote on whether to use neutral venues is not planned during Monday's Premier League meeting - a sign that an estimated six or seven clubs remain opposed to the idea. The league has been suspended since 13 March because of the coronavirus pandemic but is aiming to resume in June, with most clubs facing nine games to play.
Benzema bounces back Karim Benzema has been Real Madrid's best player over the last year but he struggled on Saturday in the team's 2-0 win over Espanyol. The French forward missed two clear-cut chances as Zinedine Zidane's side laboured to kill off the match, after Raphael Varane's opener. However, Benzema eventually got his goal, firing in his 11th of the season from close range, with only Barcelona talisman Messi boasting more - 12, after his hat-trick against Real Mallorca.
Mikel Arteta had his most satisfying night as Arsenal manager when Premier League champions Liverpool were beaten at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday - but it also outlined the scale of the task he faces. The 38-year-old former Gunners midfielder, appointed to replace fellow Spaniard Unai Emery shortly before Christmas, admitted the gulf between Liverpool and Arsenal is as wide as the current 40-point gap suggests.
Crystal Palace ended their run of draws with a home defeat at the hands of Southampton and I don't think they will win this one either - the Blades are very good on the road. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Georgia's prediction: 0-0 Liverpool v SouthamptonSouthampton have been great of late, and what a story their rise up the table has been. But Saints have to go to Anfield next and, even though they are playing extremely well, it is hard to see them upsetting a Liverpool side who are just cruising along at the moment.
Burnley's initial efforts were from reasonable range - Hendrick, Rodriguez and Dwight McNeil all firing shots away - but it was from balls into the box either side of half-time where the hosts really should have taken the lead. The Clarets swarmed all over the yellow shirts in the period after the break and it seemed unlikely they would get a better chance than when Hendrick missed the target with a header from six yards.
