What is notable in this edition of the Money League is the apparent continuing emergence of 'mini-leagues within the Money League'," he said. The largest revenue-generating clubs continue to pull away from the rest. The highest-ranked club outside the big five leagues is Ajax Amsterdam in 23rd place.
Italy has seen the largest number of coronavirus cases in Europe and reported a steep rise in infections on Saturday. The death toll in Italy has passed 230, with officials reporting more than 36 deaths in 24 hours. The number of confirmed cases jumped by more than 1,200 to 5,883 on Saturday. Last week, Italy's government said all sport in the country would be played behind closed doors until 3 April.
United could quickly improve if they swapped Solskjaer for an elite manager like Mauricio Pochettino but despite how bad United are at present, it’s hard to see how they can do that without enraging even those supporters who would welcome a change. This is how bad it has got at Old Trafford. Bruno bid falters Bruno Fernandes of Sporting CP celebrates after scoring a goal during the Liga NOS match between Vitoria FC and Sporting CP at Estadio do BonfimGetty Images Speaking of how bad it has got at Old Trafford, Woodward’s woes are being compounded by the fact that United are proving incapable of signing a player they have seemed certain of signing for nearly all of January.
The visitors continued their dominance after the restart as they demonstrated their play-off credentials, but as has so often been the case this season Shankland's laser finishing rescued Dundee United. The Scotland striker did brilliantly to stop a cross dead in the slippery conditions, and with a flash of his feet deceived two defenders before firing into the bottom corner.
Rangers made it out of a group that few would have given them much hope of getting out of when the draw was originally made. A club that couldn't kick its own backside in Europe in the season before Steven Gerrard arrived as manager - they allowed Progres Niedercorn to do it for them - had now navigated its way through to the knockouts. It's worth remembering that in Rangers' dozen European games before Progres - dating back to 2010 - they didn't win any of them.
<strong>Levante vs Mallorca prediction</strong> comes ahead of the Spanish La Liga 14th-round clash between the two. This game will be played on November 22nd, at the Estadi Ciutat de Valencia in Valencia, Spain. In this match preview, I will try to provide the best betting tips and correct score predictions based on my analysis of these two teams. These two teams have a lot of history, so a fun match is coming with Levante being a major favorite.
VAR check! The referee has come across to the VAR monitor on the touchline to take a look at a potential handball by Le Normand. Did that strike the shoulder of the Sociedad player? Looked like it. PENALTY KICK TO BARCELONA! Wow! The referee has decided that it was a handball by Le Normand and he points to the spot! 81’ GOAL! Barcelona 1-0 Real Sociedad: Messi steps up to the 12-yard mark and finds the back of the net with a calm penalty kick! Barcelona have been let off the hook a little bit here.
Both teams in the relegation round have 30 points, but the results were different after the restart of the season. Larisa lost to both Asteras (1-2) and Panetolikos (0-3) while Volos lost 0-1 at Panionios as usual and won 1-0 against Xanthi. At the end of February there was a goalless round in the last game, I also expect few goals here. the two teams stand very closely in the general standings. They have the same number of points. They both just lose three games in their last 5 games. Only two of the last three direct meetings between these two teams ended in a draw here.
They still made a lot of errors. While the statistics might suggest United are much better at the back, because they have kept clean sheets in five of their past six games in all competitions, I would say watching them tells a slightly different story. They still look vulnerable from set-pieces, for example, and although Watford's equaliser from a corner was correctly ruled out for a handball, the game was still in the balance at that point.
There was one moment when there was a case for an assault on Van Dijk as both Norwich players seemed to wrestle the Liverpool defender to the ground. What I am not entirely sure about is whether the referee was deliberately refusing to acknowledge what had taken place in the penalty area, which is the ref's prerogative, or he simply didn't see it, in which case VAR gets involved? If not, what's the point of it? Did you know? Virgil van Dijk played more successful passes than any other player in Norwich v Liverpool (77), while the Dutchman also won all three of his aerial duels.
Sheffield Wed won two games in a row won away at a Premier League club in the FA Cup and also won last round away at 2nd placed Leeds with 2-0 in the end, so good morale coming from them for this fixture and after losing their last two home games this really seems like a home win in the coming as the guests have a 2-1 loss away at Birmingham, a 2- 1 loss away at modest Huddersfield and a 3-2 loss at Nottingham in their last 3 away games.
League leaders Barcelona host second placed Real Madrid who have only lost one league match this season. Both sides drew at the weekend and Barca only lead on goal difference from their opponents. This is their game in hand on the rest of the league and they are already four points clear of third placed Sevilla.
In fact, Gerrard's final lasting contribution to that campaign would have been the kiss he planted on that TV camera after scoring two penalties in a famous 3-0 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford. And then there are the great escapology acts that take place when the heat is really on. Using the unweighted points-per-game-played system adopted by League Two and the Scottish Premiership following the decision to end their seasons, we can get a sense of which clubs could have gone down had previous campaigns been curtailed.
Their ascendance to the top of the league has been more down to Benfica's failures than their own brilliant form as they have only won three of their last six games. While they have won nine of their 14 away fixtures in Liga NOS, victory on the road has eluded them since the restart with one point from two away matches.
The way the Seagulls play out from the back is very nice - they look good, and they have clearly got some good players. But they can't get goals and they cannot beat teams, and that has left them in big trouble. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Daisy May and Charlie: 1-1 Southampton v Aston VillaSouthampton have lost three of their past four games, but they have been a bit unlucky in some of those matches.
This latest collapse might leave them feeling that Aberdeen have conjured some sort of voodoo magic to ensure they will never be defeated at Rugby Park, especially given how emphatically Kilmarnock had rattled their opponents in the opening 25 minutes, and they finished the stronger too. They carved open Aberdeen's unconvincing defensive pairing of Ash Taylor and Mikey Devlin - starting in the absence of the injured Scott McKenna - at will.
The club confirms that there has been no change in ownership of the shares in either The Sheffield United Football Club Limited or Blades Leisure Limited. The filings at Companies House were made to allow Companies House to accurately reflect that ownership on the public record and not to disclose any change. Accordingly, HRH Prince Abdullah bin Mosa'ad bin Abdulaziz Al Sa'ud remains the ultimate owner and controller of Blades Leisure Limited and its subsidiary, The Sheffield United Football Club Limited.
Chelsea's chances of ensuring they will be in Europe's top tournament next season, though, did suffer a setback after Bournemouth responded to Alonso's first-half goal with two in three second-half minutes from Jefferson Lerma and Josh King. Yet Alonso, who also scored in the Blues' big win over Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, notched the leveller that meant fourth-placed Chelsea moved to 45 points, five behind third-placed Leicester City.
However, it is thought a five-year contract and a transfer fee of about £20m are in place that will allow 17-year-old Bellingham to move to Germany. Bellingham has been one of the most sought-after young players in Europe this summer. Manchester United were keen to sign him and even offered him a tour of their training ground and an introduction to Sir Alex Ferguson. However, Dortmund felt they had an equally persuasive argument given their development of young players, notably Jadon Sancho, who they have turned into an England international after his arrival from Manchester City at a similar age.
Now we are Premier League champions, which was the goal at the start of the season, we have seven games left and we want to win all seven," Henderson said. That's not easy but that's our mentality. If we can do that, you're talking about records and amounts of points. We can't think too far ahead, which I don't like doing. Our next game is a huge game against City [on Tuesday], who are an amazing side.
Mallorca gave a second-half debut to 15-year-old Luka Romero, who became the league's youngest ever player. Meanwhile, Wales forward Gareth Bale was given a first Real start since February but struggled to make any significant impact, firing a shot in the sixth minute which was kept out by goalkeeper Manolo Reina. Vinicius' chip high into the net from Luka Modric's lay-off and Ramos' 10th goal of the season via a curling free-kick from the edge of the area gave Real the three points.

We handed it back and did not know what it was going to be used for. That night or the next morning, everyone found an envelope under their door. We opened it to find everything that our team-mates and the staff had written about us, on strips of paper. It was quite emotional and very powerful. You really felt a sense of the team spirit and that was a fantastic thing to do right before the final. Graham Barrow, Wigan's first-team coach: "Nobody signed any of it, so you did not know who had written what, but you obviously had some idea.
Both sides wore black armbands following the recent death of City loan forward Benik Afobe's two-year-old daughter Amora, with the two sets of spectators joining together for a minute's applause. Top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic was a subdued figure for Fulham in the first half as the Robins defence kept him in check and it was Ivan Cavaleiro who carried the main threat. Mitrovic came more into the game after the break, volleying just too high after receiving Stefan Johansen's ball on his chest and then just failing to make contact as he stretched for Knockaert's curling cross, but he was unable to add to his 15 goals so far this term.
Wolves have already shown that last season was no fluke, and their ability to successfully juggle continental and domestic responsibilities has added a new dimension to a club with an ever growing reputation.
I have an opinion on football but this is a real serious thing to talk about I think and the answers should come from people who know more about it," Klopp said before Wednesday's semi-final against Mexican club Monterrey. I have to be influential in football but not in politics. Anything I say wouldn't help, it would just create another headline, positive or negative. I like that you ask the question but I think I am the wrong person.
RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner is yet to find the net in six home Champions League appearances, attempting 22 shots without success. In away games Werner has scored seven goals from 14 shots. He has scored more Champions League goals without scoring at home than any other player in the competition's history. Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann, 32, is the youngest manager to take charge of a Champions League knockout match.
Both teams aren't strangers to scoring goals, which is why we feel there's value in the 'both teams to score' market, as it's happened in 7 of Hibs' home games as well as in three of Rangers' last five away days. As for the finals score, we're going to back the game to end 2-2, as the visitors have scored an average of 2.33 goals on their travels and the hosts have netted 1.89 at Easter Road. Moreover, three of Hibs last five home ties have ended 2-2, as well as one of Rangers' previous away games

Tenenager Haaland twice found the space he needed to score and an equaliser by Neymar in the 75th minute, with the Brazilian winger often having to drop deep to pick up the ball, did nothing to change the eventual outcome. I know after a match if the result is not right it can be said that the system was a mistake," Tuchel said.
The first leg of Manchester United's Europa League last-16 tie at LASK will be played behind closed doors because of coronavirus concerns. LASK made the decision following advice from the Austrian government. United sold their allocation of just under 900 tickets but the game is one of several European club competition fixtures that will have no spectators. Wolves' Europa League last-16 first-leg match at Olympiakos on Thursday will also be played in a near-empty stadium.
13th day of the highest German football series. I honestly disagree about the odds here. I don't understand why guests can be so disadvantaged. Cologne has so far shown that it does not have a well-equipped team for the new category. They won only 7 points while the guests after a bad start to the season, now they have been able to reverse the course and played good matches in the last rounds, gaining heavy points. Cologne at home has won only one race out of 5 and won against the poorest one which is Paderborn. The guests lost a single match in the last 5 and lost it against a strong team like Schalke.
They know just how crucial a win will be here, especially after their current run of 10 winless matches. With just one win in 15 matches, the confidence levels have really dipped at Brighton and further, they have failed to score in their last two matches. It hasn’t been any easier at home; Brighton have no win in five home matches and have conceded in each of these, though not by more than a goal.
The best player at the Euro U19 tournament last summer, Torres has developed into one of Valencia’s most important players. Speed, dribbling and a taste for the spectacular, the supersonic winger has everything to attract crowds and delight big clubs. Above all, his contract expires in 2021 – meaning Valencia must hit the jackpot this summer.
All those little dinks and chips over the advancing goalkeeper seem to be coming off again. Earlier in the season he appeared to be trying too hard to score and not allowing chances to come naturally. This was the cause of a little tension between Salah and Sadio Mane in one game in particular but not anymore. Liverpool's second-half performance was as good as I've seen for some time. Much more relaxed and no longer battling the spectre of winning the Premier League title.
La Liga rules stipulate that any club playing in Spain's top two divisions may apply to sign a player outside of the transfer window, providing that several specific conditions are met. The first is that the receiving club must have suffered a long-term injury - a minimum of five months with evidence required from medical experts.

It was the last time they would celebrate such a success for three decades. No-one, least of all those in Anfield's cramped old press box, would realise how different life would soon be for the newly crowned champions, managed by Kenny Dalglish and boasting iconic figures such as Alan Hansen, Ian Rush and John Barnes. The crowd was a less-than-capacity 37,758. It was a routine occurrence and reporting on this sort of occasion had also become a matter of course for a very young chief football writer covering Everton and Liverpool.
Fortuna Sittard have scored in both halves of their home games 44% of the time and we are expecting goals in both halves of Saturday’s clash. Vitesse have scored three or more goals in three of their last five matches and each of those games have ended in victory for Saturday’s gusts, while Fortuna Sittard have conceded seven goals in their last three league games, which is another reason why we have backed Vitesse to pinch a 3-2 win this weekend.
Spal is playing really weak football this season as they are 2nd from bottom at this moment and the team with the least goals scored in the league so far this season especially away from home they have many games right now without goal scored by them and have several losses by at least 2 goals difference as well this season on the road like a 3-0 loss at Sassuolo or a 2-0 loss at Cagliari as well.

It did not take long for the deadlock to be broken after the break. Ings believed he should have had a penalty, but once Kevin Friend had waved away his appeals, Liverpool broke. Firmino’s flick fed Oxlade-Chamberlain, who drove a shot past a flat-footed McCarthy. Southampton protested the decision not to give them a spot kick but to no avail.

Which is as close as an august body such as IFAB will ever get to writing: “For God’s sake, England, there’s a pitchside monitor right there. Use the bloody thing next time!” In practical terms, the law has been strengthened slightly; the word “often” has been removed, and it now reads: “where a reviewable incident is subjective, the expectation is that the referee will undertake an ‘on-field review’.
Ineos rider Rowe replaces NHS medic's stolen bike Time for a heartwarming tale (in the end. Team Ineos rider Luke Rowe has stepped in and replaced an NHS medic's stolen bike after reading about the theft on social media. Anaesthetic registrar Dr Tom Roberts tweeted about the theft of his bike while he was on a shift at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, and Rowe responded with the bike to be delivered today.
The start of the season has been very disappointing from Napoli point of view, they have failed to live up to the expectation placed on them. At the start of the season they were named as the most likely challengers to Juventus, although right now they are simply miles away from that. They haven't lost too many too many, and their biggest problem has been converting draws into win. Four of those draws have come in their last five games in what has been frustrating run for them and their fans. Bologna have not been faring much better themselves, without a win in their last four, in the bottom half of the table and they go into the weekend just three point clear of the relegation zone. The expectation of them are very low here, but they see this as a big opportunity, playing Napoli at exactly the right time while they are going through this rough spell.
The loss pushed Villa's dismal run to six defeats in eight Premier League games, though Dean Smith would have been keen to impress on his players that a defeat against the free-scoring Citizens shouldn't be seen as a season defining setback.
FSV Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund at Opel Arena on December 14, 2019 in Mainz, GermanyGetty Images Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso suffered a disappointing debut as Gervinho’s stoppage-time goal earned Parma a 2-1 win at the Stadio San Paolo to extend the home side’s winless run in Serie A to eight games.
Angelo Alessio's side has been less fortunate on their travels, with the Ayrshire club losing three, drawing once and winning another game in their last five. Despite these negative outcomes, Kilmarnock has at least managed to score in four of those five fixtures and 71% of their total away days, although only netting more than once in their most recent trip.
