Ajax need a win here to secure the top spot. But it won't be easy, because their opponent is Valencia, who still have hope to qualify. But they need victory because the draw won't give them anything because Chelsea plays with Lille and will probably win.
I have never heard a word from Abramovich: 'Let's get this ready for a sale,' or something," Buck told The Guardian "Because of the political situation, there are people who think they might want to buy Chelsea at a bargain. We do get inquiries and we really have nothing to say to these people. Van Dijk more deserving of Ballon d'Or than Messi.

According to the Sun, the 23-year-old German was scouted by the Foxes during the recent international break and would cost around £15 million - a fraction of the fee Leicester received for Maguire.

But the reality is football will return and I don't think this decision should have been rushed. Being denied promotion would also have a financial impact on the club, he said. Had we got promoted we would have been in the same company as clubs like Spennymoor, Darlington, Gateshead and Blyth so there would have been a lot more local derbies and significantly higher gates," he added. We made some big investments this year in the effort to get up, so it's a difficult time.
Monday Crystal Palace v Brighton – 7. Liverpool agree Takumi Minamino deal According to a few media reports, it appears that RB Salzburg's Takumi Minamino will join Liverpool this January after the Premier League leaders activated his £7. Following the rise in the pound this morning and with the deal priced in Euros, that will become a little more affordable this morning, in what is already looking a bargain.
I think one of the big boys will come knocking for him," Warnock told BBC Radio 5 Live. It would be very difficult for him to stay at Arsenal unless they get their cheque book out and really go for it over the next window. Mikel Arteta has to prove to him why he should stay at Arsenal. If I was Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, I would be going for him with a year left on his contract. He will challenge the front three and he doesn't need time, he will settle.
Atalanta raced to a two-goal lead before being pegged back to 2-2 by halftime but then scored three more in a devastating 15-minute spell early in the second half and added another two late in the game for good measure. Lecce's Giulio Donati scored at both ends. Serie A's leading scorers took their tally to 70 goals in 25 games as they stayed fourth in the table, and in the Champions League spots, with 48 points.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0Tom's prediction: Norwich to nick this - Teemu Pukki to get both their goals. Southampton v WolvesIf I was making predictions for some of this week's fixtures a month or so ago, I would be tipping some very different outcomes - and this match is a good example of how much things have changed for some teams. Media playback is not supported on this device Saints didn't want revenge for 9-0 - Hasenhuttl Danny Ings cannot stop scoring for Southampton and they keep on picking up points.

A little later he sent the same message out to his players, who were wasteful in possession. You couldn't say Rangers had their rivals under the cosh in those opening minutes, but they had the best of it. Then, as happens so often in this game, things turned sharply. Having posed little threat, Celtic won a penalty when Katic was done for grabbing a fistful of Jullien's shirt. Christie stepped up, thumped his effort to McGregor's left, but the goalkeeper saved magnificently.
TUESDAY’S BIG STORIES Arsenal win! Arsenal win! Arsenal win! To put into some perspective just how very long ago Arsenal’s previous victory was, Unai Emery was still their manager. That 3-2 ROMP against Vitoria Guimaraes in the Europa League sure does feel like a long time ago now, but on Monday night they broke their nearly two month-long duck by coming from behind to beat West Ham 3-1 in the typically cauldron-like atmosphere of the London Stadium.
Hearts' plight was by far and away the highlight for Hibs fans. Christian Doidge came good and finished with 12 league goals, the first Hibs striker to hit double figures in the Premiership since Griffiths. Hibs were too timid and too easy to score against all season, conceding 49 times, the highest number of any of the top nine clubs. They're missing some steel and some resilience, but unlike their dear friends across the city, they got themselves through a tough patch and they'll be glad of that small mercy.
Nîmes ended 2019 in the worst possible way with five consecutive defeats nailing them to second bottom on the table. Manager Bernard Blaquart has been pleading for unity in these trying times but it is still a fraught situation on the south coast as they try and get themselves out of this rut. The Crocodiles managed to get their first win in a while last week as they edged past fifth-tier Tours on penalties in the Coupe de France but given the opponents it's hardly an achievement.

Inter are pushing for the transfer to be completed in the winter window as they are worried about the possibility of Barcelona or Real Madrid hijacking the deal once Eriksen's contract expires in July. The 27-year-old is said to have "always set his heart on a move to Spain", so Inter will have to be convincing with their contract offer.
Emmen’s home games this season average 3.14 goals and PSV’s away games this season average 3.14 goals, which is why we have backed three goals to be scored in Sunday’s clash, while 71% of Emmen’s home games and PSV;’s away games have produced over 2.5 goals and that adds more weight to our prediction.
It is understood that Chelsea players have been reminded about the self-isolation protocols and they are expected to resume training only when they are out of isolation on March 22-23. West Ham said last week that some club personnel are self-isolating after making direct contact with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta -- who also tested positive for the virus -- but the players were not self-isolating.
Fantasy football favourite John Lundstram could also leave when his contract expires, although record signing Sander Berge's arrival in January would soften the blow. With no striker establishing himself and Billy Sharp and David McGoldrick in their thirties, Wilder might look to further add to his options up front. Tottenham: An unsettled sideHaving used more players than any other side this season (29), Tottenham have the most disrupted and unsettled squad in the Premier League.
When they come to fruition I will know more. In response to BBC Panorama, Dr Chakraverty said: "The evidence I provided to the DCMS Select Committee Inquiry in April 2017 was a detailed and honest account. Following appropriate discussions and checks on the L-carnitine supplement, including around safety and the Wada (World Anti-Doping Agency) dosage rules, 2.
Last season Cobresal won at home with Everton 2-1 in the end and it is really a likely outcome here as well with Cobresal having 4 wins and one loss in their last 5 league games at this moment but they conceded in each of those wins reason why all 5 of those league games ended ended with over 2.5 goals and given this odds of 2.00 for the same bet to be taken in this one are really worth a try.
Four of the last seven meetings between the pair have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals while the same can be said about each of Feyenoord’s last six matches and four of Heerenveen’s last six games in all competitions (including both clubs winter break friendlies). The hosts have only lost once at home this season despite many suggesting that Feyenoord have underperformed in 2019, while Heerenveen have proven themselves adept at picking up points on the road which should make for an exciting encounter this Saturday.
Hazard is Real's joint-record signing but has struggled with injuries since his 100-million-euro ($108. Chelsea last June, missing the start of the campaign with a muscle problem before hurting his ankle against Paris St Germain on Nov.

NIFL has the opportunity to decide for itself what it wants to do, and whether it wants to carry on. Keep in mind, there will be significant costs to that and government regulations will be key. The original date for them to make a decision for Uefa was 25 May but that has been put back until 12 June, when NIFL has to have a plan to indicate how it intends to finish the season. Title holders Linfield are currently top of the Irish Premiership table"That would of course include the representatives that will play in the Uefa competitions in season 2020-21.
ASUNCION, March 5 (Reuters) - Former Barcelona and Brazil striker Ronaldinho Gaucho is being investigated by Paraguayan authorities after arriving in the country with what police said was a "presumably adulterated Paraguayan passport. Ronaldinho and his brother and business manager Roberto de Assis were both questioned by law enforcement officials in their hotel room on the outskirts of Asuncion on Wednesday and have been summoned to appear on Thursday for further questioning, police said in a statement.

Great and all that but a complete dereliction of duty on many levels. It is wholly irresponsible for these games to be played. However, the games are being played with the full backing of the president (!) with Sky News reporting that, after taking part in a hockey match (!), president Alexander Lukashenko told reporters: "It's better to die standing on your feet than to live on your knees.
Ajax average 2.63 points per home game while Den Haag average just 0.75 points per away game, and the hosts score an average of 3.50 goals per home game and concede an average of just 0.50 goals, which is why we have backed them to win 4-0 this weekend. Ajax haven’t drawn any home games this season and Den Haag are yet to draw on the road, suggesting that this game will not end in a stalemate.
I believe in plenty of goals on both sides in this match from Europa League and I will try that here. So, Wolfsburg is very good team who is in this moment in good form, but problem surely can be the fact that they will play this duel, against strong rival, with empty stadium, as I know. Shakhtar is leader in Ukraine and they will easy win new title, and in Europe, they are in fantastic rematch, eliminated Benfica in Lisbon, even they are losing 3-1. At the end, it was 3-3. I believe in similar match and tonight and plenty of goals.
A verdict is not expected until later this summer. Unless the club are successful, they will not be able to participate in Europe's flagship competition next season and will be prevented from playing in the annual Uefa Super Cup if they won this season's delayed Champions League. For European football's governing body Uefa, the outcome also holds huge significance. La Liga president Javier Tebas, who in the past has accused City and Paris St-Germain of financial doping, is adamant FFP rules must be upheld across the game despite the financial fall-out from Covid-19.
Orlando Pirates against Polokwane City here, meeting of the Premier Soccer League South African soccer that is played this afternoon at 18:30. Orlando's favorite to win the match comes from a 3-2 defeat by the Kaizer Chiefs and faces a team back from a 0-1 home defeat against Baroka here. The visitors are not in good shape. L 'Orlando pirates is the strongest team here and at home almost always scores at least one goal per game so let's try a nice sign 1 at the excellent odds of 1.75 and Good Luck to all of you with your sports bets! ;-)
The 21-year-old made his debut for Lanus last May. He was called up for Argentina's squad to play in the Olympic qualifying tournament this month but Lanus said they could not release him as two of their defenders were injured. Express kidnappings are a threat in a number of Latin American cities. They are opportunistic rather than planned and victims often pay the ransoms themselves as they are driven to ATM machines and forced to withdraw cash.
He was not faultless; his comments ahead of the Champions League final were naïve at best. However, not to put too fine a point on it, that decline began in the summer of 2017, put in motion after the club – and for club, read board – failed to improve a team that had achieved their best finish in the modern era.
Lawro's prediction: 2-1Seth's prediction: 2-1 Brighton v LeicesterBrighton's change to a more attacking style of play under Graham Potter is working for them and they have shown they are more than capable of getting results playing that way. Will it work against Leicester, though? You have to be very careful if you are so open against the Foxes, because we know exactly what Brendan Rodgers' side do, and how good they are at it.

Even so, Walkes still does not have a full set of furniture in his home. I've got everything down to a schedule now. I work out from home, we stay in contact with the team so we're always getting a lot of information regarding what exercise, what sessions we should be doing. Our shared interests have helped keep everyone's spirits up. Some people live in the same apartment complexes, so they see each other and speak to each other frequently.
Feb 11 (Reuters) - An Italian soccer referee has been banned for one year after he lost his cool and head-butted a goalkeeper he had sent off during a minor league game earlier this month, ANSA news agency reported on Tuesday. In a match between Borgo Mogliano and Montottone in Macerata on Feb. Antonio Martiniello had given Borgo Mogliano's goalkeeper Matteo Ciccioli his marching orders as the hosts won 3-1.
Soon afterwards, City's Brazilian goalkeeper needed the help of Nicolas Otamendi to deflect Dominic Solanke's goalbound shot over the bar, and Philip Billing headed over from the resulting corner. Bournemouth were on top and appeared full of confidence, but they were left to rue their wastefulness in front of goal when Gabriel Jesus struck City's second before half-time. There were five defenders around Jesus when he collected David Silva's pass inside the box but he beat two of them with a step-over and a dart into space before planting his shot into the bottom corner of the net.
It has not been an easy start to the season for Tottenham and as a result of that, the team decided to sack their coach Mauricio Pochettino and hired Jose Mourinho to replace him in a surprising move that took place this week. Mourinho should bring a new life to the team and on this match we expect the players to show their best in order to prove to the manager that they can be an option for the starting lineup and for that reason, we will take Tottenham to win as the best line to bet on this match.
