Instead, there would be 32 teams in one division and each side would play 10 matches against 10 different opponents, with the top eight qualifying for the round of 16. Teams finishing between ninth and 24th would then face a two-legged play-off to join them in the knockout phase. In order to fit the competition into English football's schedule, the Carabao Cup semi-finals, currently played over two legs, would resort to a one-off match, with FA Cup replays also scrapped.
He was eventually sacked to make way for Carlo Ancelotti, despite leading Napoli to second place with a club-record points tally, and said he found out about the dismissal on the television. Juventus, chasing a ninth successive title, go into the game with a four-point lead at the top while Napoli have dropped to eleventh place.
There’s little doubt about who is taking centre stage for Milan here, after Zlatan Ibrahimovic arrived back at the club. His brief spell at San Siro with the Rossoneri was a particularly impressive spell in his career, before financial issues saw the Rossoneri cash in. He averaged an impressive 0.6 goals per game with Milan, but can he follow that on his return?
The Magpies had their chances but failed to score for a fourth league game in succession. Matt Ritchie went closest for the hosts in a cagey first half, his goal-bound effort taking a deflection off Jay Rodriguez before grazing the outside of the post. Rodriguez shot wide from a tight angle at the other end, while Martin Dubravka had to be on his toes to prevent Jeff Hendrick's cross-shot from going on.
Crystal Palace would be happy to welcomed Bournemouth to their home in Tuesday Premier League games. The last five games between this two teams was really tough with Crystal Palace winning one game at home and one in away. Bournemouth won one game at home while two ended in draws. Crystal Palace Joel Ward we not be fixture in today's clash with Bournemouth while Scott Dann and Gary Cahill we also miss out due to injury. Bournemouth also have handful of players with injury like David Brooks, Joshua King, Junior Stanislas, and Charlie Daniels all out due to injury. In my own opinion I think this match is a win or draw for Crystal Palace.
The Argentine said he had spoken to Bartomeu about the situation and been assured the accounts were not linked to Barca, but he described the whole episode as "strange". The match with Eibar could see Martin Braithwaite make his debut for Barcelona after switching from struggling Leganes as the club were given permission to sign a player outside of a transfer window.
Spain is the second worst-affected country by the virus in Europe behind Italy and is in the fourth week of a state of emergency. All professional soccer has been indefinitely postponed and players forced to train at home. Tebas said teams could not begin training again until the state of emergency is lifted on April 26, but he was optimistic that the season could start up either on May 29, June 7 or June 28, most likely without spectators.

Burnley winger Robbie Brady has extended his deal at Turf Moor until the end of next season. The Clarets have exercised a 12-month option in the Republic of Ireland international's contract. Brady, 28, joined the Clarets from Norwich for a then club-record fee of £13m in January 2017. He has made 63 appearances in all competitions for Burnley, with a knee injury and the emergence of Dwight McNeil limiting his playing time.
I know David de Gea's mistake cost them a goal but they have so many quality players, and it feels like they are about to seriously kick on as a team. De Gea has not suddenly become a bad goalkeeper, it is just that at the moment he is not the De Gea who was United's best player for three years. I wonder if he has just tweaked his technique a little bit, because what he used to do was brilliant and now what he does is average.
Get the ball to Bowen - the statsWest Ham United have won consecutive Premier League matches for the first time since August 2019. Watford have lost five consecutive Premier League away matches for the first time since May 2018 (six in a row). Since the Premier League restarted in June, West Ham's Michail Antonio has scored more Premier League goals than any other player (7). Watford skipper Troy Deeney has scored in consecutive Premier League matches for the first time since March 2018.
Celtic are flying and with a 12-point lead in the title race it feels like a huge task for Rangers to reel them in from here. Man of the match - Odsonne EdouardThe young French striker is a class act and seems to thrive alongside Griffiths. Celtic fans will be desperate to retain him beyond the summer as he has everything. His goal return is strong but it's Edouard's ability to be calm, to bring others into play that's equally impressive.
Ian Baraclough and Stephen Robinson are candidates to become the new Northern Ireland bossMcAuley kept busy after hanging his boots up by scouting for clubs, coaching and media work, but that all changed with the coronavirus lockdown. It was a shock to the system for the 40-year-old, who has a clear plan for his future amid many job offers. In the first couple of weeks into lockdown my head was all over the place a little bit - I was still going out to games and was still involved but the lockdown happened and everything ground to a halt," he added.

However, despite what might have looked like a less threatening side, Wolves started well holding off the table-toppers, who took the lion’s share of possession and shots in the first half. Though you might have expected the visitors to sit back and defend, they pressed forwards as best they could without their main men, nonetheless Liverpool looked the superior side, literally running rings around their opponents.
Goals from Martin Braithwaite and Youssef En-Nesyri sealed a comfortable 2-0 success for Javier Aguirre's side in a crucial six-pointer at home to Espanyol last time out, and Lega have now bagged seven points from their last three outings after a 3-2 home win against Celta Vigo and a 1-1 draw at Alaves.
Orlando Pirates will head to this game as favorites going by their record over Golden Arrows, but we just don’t know how their reaction will be after the loss in Soweto Derby. Golden Arrows will want to take advantage of that but they have not been doing so well lately. Arrows have struggled, and most of their good times came late in games or were errors by opponents. With the two sides’ issues coming to this game, it is tough to make a pick but one factor that stands out is the shyness in attack. Just one of the last five meetings has seen both sides score, and only that game has ended in over 2.5 goals. Both sides have not been scoring a lot too ahead of this game, so our pick will be on the game to end with under 2.5 goals.
Juventus, for instance, always have a full house at the Allianz Stadium, which brought them 74m euros (£62m) in revenue during the 2018-19 season - 53m (£45m) of which came from matchdays. Clubs have not been forced to play behind closed doors, with other options available. Clubs could have also suspended games and postpone them, but there are scheduling issues," said the Italian minister of sports Vincenzo Spadafora.

Former Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldinho doesn't currently have those privileges. He is currently in prison. Warm-Up alumni Jack Lang has the background on how the 40-year-old has ended up in a Paraguayan jail. This it appears was a situation years in the making. RETRO CORNER The real Ronaldo, the only one, showing why he was the greatest.
This is very important match for both this rivals and for me it is much closer to home win, it is clear. So, team from Zrenjanin or Proleter is team who is new in this league and they are playing pretty good in last period. Against very strong rivals, this team was know to win at least one point and sometimes and even to beat them. Rad, on the other side is in big problems, and in series of losses. They are with Macva Sabac, surely team who will be back in second league. Proleter will beat them at home.
Video - Chelsea set to battle Barca for Porto ace - Euro Papers01:36 Who knows whether the Brazilian may have already played his last game for Munich? It currently seems almost impossible that Bayern will prematurely shell out the fixed transfer fee of €120m. Under coach Hans-Dieter Flick, Coutinho has no regular place in the team, either deployed behind the striker or as a "false seven" on the left wing.
The late concession meant Derby have conceded in each of their last four matches. One clean sheet in their last six matches doesn’t paint a very good picture of their defence and they will want to improve on that here. They have conceded two or more goals in four of their last six matches. They however have a better run at home, having gone unbeaten in six matches, winning five.
Manchester City's Janine Beckie spent lockdown in a different continent and had to endure a two-week quarantine on her return to England before finally being reunited with her teammates. The Canada international was in Colorado when it was announced Chelsea had been crowned Women's Super League champions on a points-per-game basis, despite City sitting top when the league was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic.
It cited Root, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler, who play for England in all three formats of the international game - test, one-day and Twenty20 cricket. I'm sure at some point in the coming weeks there will be a discussion," said Root when asked if he expected players to take a pay cut. But I'm also aware they are discussions that will take place between the Professional Cricketers' Association and the ECB (English Cricket Board).

Basaksehir are second in the table, only being edged off the top spot thanks to the superior goal difference of league leaders Trabzonspor. They are unbeaten in their last seven matches, the most recent of which was a 1-1 draw at Trabzonspor. Alanyaspor, meanwhile, could still conceivably sneak into the title race, only being ten points off the top from their current sixth-placed position.

WHAT ABOUT THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE? UEFA are yet to issue any kind of clarification on the Champions League and Europa League but theoretically they could run parallel with domestic leagues as they do usually only everything will finish later.

Today's performance will have only increased demand for his services. KEY MOMENTS 18' - GOAL! Everton 1-0 Crystal Palace (Bernard): This is a lovely goal. Walcott, who scored the winner last week, shows quick feet to get away from his marker before delivering a cross to the back post where Bernard fires the ball past Guaita on the first time volley.
The hosts have suffered from Portugal’s cut in Champions League spots in recent years. That cut will continue to hit them going into next season, with the Lions sitting nine points shy of the top two as it stands. Even a win this week only cuts the gap to six points, which is a lot given the remarkable consistency of the top two so far.

Vorskla will host Dnipro-1 for this fixture of the league. Both teams are of the teams of the relegation group. Vorskla are currently on the 10th place with 23 points. Vorskla is not very good team in the last matches. They have only 1 victory in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Dnipro-1 who's is very average team in this campaign. Dnipro-1 are currently on the 7th place with 34 points. However, Dnipro-1 are in solid shape in recent times. They have four consecutive victories. So, the visitors have an effective attack in the last matches. I think, they will have the potential to continue the winning track.
Lawro's prediction: 3-0Scotty's prediction: United at the moment remind me of Atalanta, who have been playing all-out attack all season in Italy and have outscored Serie A leaders Juventus by 20 goals. United are looking good aren't they? Mason Greenwood looks sensational - there is talk of Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho going to Old Trafford, and it would be great to see him in the Premier League, but I really hope it doesn't come to the detriment of Greenwood's opportunities and progress.
I would understand yes, under the circumstances [if the season was to be cut short]. The main concern must be the health of the general public and the decision that will be made we'll back. A number of European club competition fixtures will be played behind closed doors this week, while the Europa League fixtures between Sevilla and Roma, and Inter Milan and Getafe, have been postponed. Of course, these are difficult circumstances - not just for football, but in the whole society," Solskjaer added.
We’re confident that both teams will score in Thursday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Both teams still have something to play for on Thursday, with Sporting looking to secure top spot and LASK hoping to maintain their grip on the final qualifying spot, so we are expecting a tight and tense ninety minutes. Both teams have made themselves hard to beat of late and a draw would suit both managers at the end of the day.
The Spaniard, who twice won the tournament when in charge of Barcelona but who has not got past the quarter-finals with City, added: "We have the chance to close the group stage. We have to do our best to go to Zagreb [for the last game] with the job done. City will be without back-up goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, who was sent off in the 1-1 draw against Italian side Atalanta as defender Kyle Walker had to end the game in goal.
The home side went ahead after 19 minutes when Michael Rangel’s header hit the woodwork and bounced in off keeper Mario Viera. Carlos Sierra doubled their lead 15 minutes later to seal a 2-0 aggregate victory after a stalemate in the final’s first leg on Monday. The triumph in the Clausura tournament was America’s 14th league title and their first since they returned to the top flight after being relegated in 2011.
He did not use power but was calm and placed the ball where he wanted it. If you look at your goals now in the Brann - Molde game. You are so calm when you strike the ball, I mean, you was just 17 years old at that time. Where do you have that skill from? Have you learned a lot from Ole Gunnar?” Haaland replied “I forgot to tell you this, but before that game, Solskjaer and I did some practice on finishing.
It was the former Celtic, Hearts and St Johnstone forward's first goal for Motherwell and team-mate Aarons achieved the same feat 16 minutes later when his cross-cum-shot caught out Hladky. That made it 4-3 and, suddenly, a hitherto dominant St Mirren were rocking violently as Fir Park came to life. Within 60 seconds, it got even louder as Campbell's cross took a nick off Foley and looped over a bewildered Hladky.
I do know that when you have a great pathway and great preparation for the Olympics then it creates six or seven top Socceroo players and for the senior national team that's very important," he said. Arnold also called on his country's football authorities to do more to improve opportunities for young players.

WHO IS INTERESTED? Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Chelsea are all interested. Liverpool are the favourites. Jurgen Klopp believes Werner's style fits Liverpool perfectly, with his high-tempo play both in attack and defence suiting the Anfield way. Werner would add strength in-depth to Liverpool's attack and also give them tactical flexibility, while the Premier League club also have the cash and an environment that would tempt Werner.
But top-scorer Alfredo Morelos will miss out through suspension, having earned a yellow card for dissent in the first half. We don't want to be missing players like Alfredo with the quality he's got and the amount of goals - but it is what it is," Gerrard said. No-one in my dressing room is getting carried away. We know it's only half-time, but what we've done is put ourselves in a good position and now it's about trying to finish the job off.
