However, a return to action still depends on the government's five tests being met, especially an increase in testing, and meeting social distancing guidelines. What are the five tests?It also hinges on the conclusions reached by regular cross-sport meetings of senior medical officials discussing the health protocols for competing behind closed doors, which are set to start this week. The BBC reported on Saturday how the government has plans for a series of these meetings to help elite sport resume.
Manchester United's last loss in the Premier League was 2-0 at home to Burnley on 22 January. Fernandes' record mirrors United's own transformation - just the sort of impact you want your game-changing signing to have. He has been the central figure in overhauling what was, at its worst, a 14-point gap between United and Leicester. That turnaround was completed at the King Power Stadium. And the emotions could not have been more contrasting as Manchester United's much-criticised goalkeeper David de Gea ran the length of the field to join in the celebrations for Jesse Lingard's injury-time goal.

For the remainder of the first half, City were not at their best, but came out after the interval with added impetus, taking the lead in 51st minute through Gabriel Jesus - the Brazilian's sixth goal in five matches against Everton. That soon became seven in five as Jesus drilled home Riyad Mahrez's pass seven minutes later to make it two, only for stand-in City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo to gift Everton a way back into the match as Richarlison scored with 19 minutes left.
We have a match between Arsenal who are the hosts and Brighton who are the visitors. Arsenal were in terrible form and they had to sack Unai Emery as their manager. They have brought in their former player Ljungberg as their head coach.

Maidenhead United will host Stockport County for this fixture of the league. I think, this will be a tense match. Both teams have the motivation to make a positive result. I think, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory. Of course, this will not be an easy task. In any case, Stockport are more ambitious team in this season. They have a chance to reach for one of the top seven places in the table. On the other hand the hosts also want all three points. However, Maidenhead is more vulnerable team. They have four consecutive losses. My pick - Stockport County to win.
Instead, Burundi Football Federation president Reverien Ndikuriyo told a press conference in Bujumbura the suspension was to allow the federation to re-assess venues for matches as some facilities might have to be used for upcoming election rallies. A general election will be held in Burundi on May 20 to elect both the president and the National Assembly.
This should be a thoroughly entertaining game of football in south African league. SuperSport United are a formidable outfit and sit third in the league, but Maritzburg United are particularly tough to break down at home. A 1-1 draw is therefore the most likely result. Judas Moseamedi proved key for Maritzburg at Mbombela Stadium with a match-winning brace. Maritzburg could have scored even more goals were it not for a solid performance from Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma.
Today’s starting front three - Daniel James, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford - are all pacey players who like to play on the break, but Watford largely eliminated that option by playing so deep and United looked lost for other ideas. They were better once Pogba came on, but already 2-0 down by that stage and still unable to score.

Managerless Arsenal's season plummeted to a new low as they were beaten at home by Brighton in interim manager Freddie Ljungberg's first home match in charge. Alexandre Lacazette marked his 100th Gunners appearance by heading his side level after Adam Webster had given the visitors a first-half lead. With the score 1-1, there was frustration for Ljungberg and Arsenal when David Luiz thought he had made it 2-1 with a volley but it was correctly ruled out following a VAR check for offside.
Why have the directors quit? The departing directors - two of which were vice presidents Emili Rousaud and Enrique Tombas - criticised the club's handling of a social media scandal and expressed doubts about the board's ability to handle the implications of the pandemic, which has led to a 70% players' pay cut.

After two and a bit seasons, 49 goals in 74 games, Aubameyang wants to go elsewhere. Arsenal will find it very difficult to hang onto him if they fail to qualify for the Champions League – a distant hope given they sit ninth in the table.
A 13-year-old Clarets supporter was ejected from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during the home side’s 5-0 victory, during which South Korean Son scored a contender for goal of the season with a stunning solo effort that started on the edge of his own area. In a statement, Burnley confirmed both they and Tottenham are assisting the Metropolitan Police with their investigations and will contact the teenager and his family with a view to an enforced educational programme.
This is a football game from the Premier League and we have Man City playing host to Leicester City. In this match I will try with over 3.5 goals. This match is extremely important for both teams and I expect a good game with lots of goals. For Leicester City they need the win to continue their pursuit of Liverpool while for Man City they have the chance to go 2nd with a win.
Both of these teams have each drawn just one of their Bundesliga games this season. Furthermore, Union are yet to draw a single Bundesliga home game, while Monchengladbach are yet to draw a single Bundesliga away game as of this game week.

However, since then the Mariners have turned their form around and they come into this match undefeated in their five league matches and pulling away from the danger zone. Despite this good form, their is still plenty of work to be done as the Mariners still need to improve on their poor record in front of goal, and considering that they have not managed to score more than once in any of their last 14 league games, it is a record which does not look like improving any time soon.
They are four points clear of the bottom two but only six points behind the league leaders. The weekend saw them lose their second league game in a row and it just happened to be a 2-0 home defeat by their opponents in this game. Brest have only played two away league games this season, winning one and losing one.
Barcelona’s fight for the league title is slipping after their recent results, having drawn three of the last four matches. On the other hand, Villarreal have really improved since the resumption of football. Matches between these two sides have in recent times come with a guarantee of goals and they also head here with impressive returns in attack. Both sides have scored twice in each of their last two matches. The two sides have a lot to play for and with the prolific attacks we expect to be lined up, we will go for a bet of Over 2.5 goals here.
Championship clubs are unanimously behind trying to complete the season despite the coronavirus outbreak. All 24 second-tier clubs held a video conference on Tuesday. It followed a similar meeting on Monday when the current top six-placed clubs agreed in their desire to play remaining fixtures, a view supported by at least three other clubs. Leeds United are currently top of the Championship table, a point ahead of West Brom with nine games to play.

And the credits were rolling once they had lost 3-0 at home to Burnley on 23 November. It was a dismal, damaging result and performance for Watford and Sanchez Flores - only confirmed by the sight of both manager and chief executive Duxbury shaking their heads in disbelief once Southampton had overturned a one-goal deficit at St Mary's on Saturday. Sanchez Flores has been unfortunate to be without injured talisman Troy Deeney, an inspiration, leader and spearhead on the pitch who has played only 34 minutes under the manager since having knee surgery in August.
Premier League clubs agreed on Thursday to move the last day of the close-season transfer window back to the end of August or early September, in line with Europe's top leagues. The move was agreed upon so clubs could avoid losing players to European rivals after the window closed when English clubs were barred from recruiting replacements, with the window set to close on Sept.
I don't see too many goals in this match from Spain Primera and I think that we will see here maximum two goals, not more than that, even you never know in football, generally. So, Valencia is team who is playing pretty good at home and they are team who is so far, only in league, with Barcelona and Real Madrid without lose at Mestalla. Atletico Madrid is playing same as before - boring matches with very strong defense. In last round, they are scored goal in 5th minute for 1-0 against Granada, and they are finished that match with that 1-0.
Man Utd need perfection against Man CityUnited play at Manchester City in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday as they bid to overturn a 3-1 deficit. It has to be a perfect performance to win with two goals against such a good team away from home," said Solskjaer. For us it's not about away goals, we just need to score two more than them. When they happen and how it happens, if we concede two we need to score four so it would be good not to concede first because that makes it less difficult.
After a huge defeat in first leg, 4-1, it is really hard to believe that Salzburg can do anything to harm Eintracht Frankfurt, despite the fact that they will play on their ground. Visitors are an experience club, and with a three goals advantage, they are in a really good opportunity to reach 1/8 stage of Europa League. Once again, Andre Silva will be in attack, of course behind him will be Kamada, he scored hat trick in first leg, Filip Kostic, who also was a scorer in first leg. Frankfurt will be without experienced midfielder Mijat Gacinovic, but even without him, Eintracht Frankfurt should not have problems to win in this duel.

It's not a case of not enjoying the moments but I reflect on them and then park them pretty quickly. I'm always looking at the end of the season, where you finish, and not the journey within it. But I do enjoy it more than people think. Burnley are four points behind seventh-placed Sheffield United and are in the running to qualify for the Europa League next season.
There's not much praise you can heap on this red machine that hasn't already been done so some time ago. This was far from routine, but this team always seem to find a way. Indeed, Liverpool's Sat Nav remains firmly centred upon on a direct route to a 19th league title in their history. A staggering 26th win in 27 Premier League matches this term is just one of the latest jaw-dropping stats they have racked up.
World-class performers in every area of the pitch under the management of Jurgen Klopp. No-one to touch them in the league. Pre-season prediction: 2ndWhat I said in August: "This season the Premier League will be firmly in the sights of manager Jurgen Klopp and his players. Manchester City - 2ndGlorious on the eye and had a world-class performer in Kevin de Bruyne but paid for not replacing Vincent Kompany as obvious defensive frailties hurt them.

Western United started the league in a wonderful way but since 3 games without a win, that have push them to 6th position from 8 matches, obtaining 10 points and goals difference of 8 goals against 10. They have won in all 3 games, 1 draw and 4 lost games.
However, the complication for the Swans is the strong form of the hosts. Huddersfield are in the top four in the form guide, picking up only two points fewer than West Brom and Leeds across the last eight matches. The Terriers aren’t in the top half, but they’re in promotion form. Their turnaround has been fantastic, while they’ll be aiming to extend that here.
