In a statement on Thursday the Premier League club also said it would not be using the government's job retention scheme. The board of directors, the first-team manager, his coaching staff and the first-team squad have agreed to defer part of their salaries for the months of April, May and June to help protect the future of the club, the staff that work within it and the community we serve," the statement read.
These sides actually faced each other quite recently at the tail end of November with Nice winning 3-1. However, Angers had won the previous clash 3-0 and we think it could be a similar result this time as the teams return to the Stade Raymond-Kopa. Le Gym's form is awful on the road while the hosts usually play their best football in front of their own fans so we're backing this one to go the way of the home side.
The manner of that exit was eerily similar to the Copenhagen loss with an end-to-end game ending in disappointment for Lennon's side. Having also drawn the first leg 1-1 away from home, they went behind after Ciprian Deac's header, but seemed to have turned the tie around with goals from James Forrest and Edouard. Billel Omrani's penalty gave Cluj the lead on away goals with 16 minutes left, and although Ryan Christie forced the hosts in front and had them on course for the play-off, Omrani and George Tucudean struck to seal Celtic's fate.
Valladolid takes on Sevilla in the 14th round of the La Liga. Valladolid is in 13th place with 17 points and Sevilla in 4th place with 24 points. On home soil, Valladolid has not lost yet this season and has a goal score of 7: 2. Sevilla have won 4 of their 7 away games this season with a 9: 9 goal. Valladolid have not lost in their last 9 home matches and did not conclude goals in the last 3 home matches. Sevilla have won their 2 most recent away matches, but before that had 3 matches without victory away. I think it will be a poor affair where the home team can get point.
That being said, we’re not expecting the hosts to have it all their own way. Despite strengthening their back line in the summer, Man Utd have conceded in all but two of their home league games this season and have shipped an average of one goal per game at Old Trafford.
Jolted into all-out attack, Chelsea substitute Michy Batshuayi had a goal ruled out for offside moments after coming on, but they continued to bombard the Bournemouth box with set-pieces and crosses. Their efforts paid off with five minutes of normal time left as Mason Mount fired a rocket that keeper Aaron Ramsdale could only parry and Alonso reacted quickest to head home.
Sheffield United have had an impressive start to their first season back in the Premier League. If they'd turned some of their draws into wins, they'd be in the top four. Six out of eight away league games have ended in a draw and there haven't been that many goals scored. Brighton have been inconsistent this season and need some good results to avoid ending up in a relegation battle. This won't be easy for them and the bet is on under 2.5 goals being scored.
Lorient have a very good record against Ligue 1 teams in this competition and they'll be looking to apply the same sort of performance levels here as they host Brest. In their last nine clashes with Ligue 1 teams in the Coupe de France, Lorient have won six times with victories coming against the likes of Nice, Saint-Étienne and Angers.
It is the tale of one of football's unlikeliest odysseys that started in Vilnius on 30 July 2009 and ended 286 days later and 820 miles away in Hamburg - the journey that took Fulham to the 2010 Europa League final. The west London club's season in the sun as one of European football's high rollers - culminating in an unlikely final appearance exactly 10 years ago - will be remembered forever by everyone who witnessed it.
Kyle McAllister replaces Sam Foley. SubstitutionPosted at 102' Substitution, Motherwell. Christy Manzinga replaces Ross MacIver. Posted at 101' Allan Campbell (Motherwell) wins a free kick in the defensive half. Posted at 101' Foul by Conor McCarthy (St. Mirren). Saul Niguez's scrappy goal in the fourth minute got Atletico off to an ideal start in a fervent atmosphere at the Wanda Metropolitano but Klopp was unhappy with some aspects of Diego Simeone's side's play.
Isloch did suffer a third defeat in the league, by conceding four times in Soligorsk for the big defeat. They are going up and down, and team already was conceding three goals on their games. They are not favorite in this one, against Belshina, which would seek for their first win in the competition.
It's an extremely competitive league and we're proud of our position at the moment. We've worked extremely hard to get into that position. We've done a lot of things right and we're going to have to do a lot of things right between now and the end of the season. We need the bounce of the ball, to stay clear of big injuries.

Ceccherini was booked for dissent and Ronaldo again scored with a shot to his left while Dragowski this time went the other way. De Ligt outjumped the Fiorentina defence at a corner for the third and Ceccherini protested again to the referee after the final whistle. The lads did well, we gave little away against a great team," said Iachini.
Whilst they're not expected to go very far in the knockout phase of the Europa League, APOEL will be pleased to have reached it and their work in the competition so far has been fairly good. The Cypriots started their continental campaign in wretched fashion, taking just 1 point from their opening 3 games but wins over Qarabag and Dudelange respectively now has second place wrapped up.
The Shrimps are not exactly fluent on the road either as they have managed just two wins from 12 away matches and they have the second worst away record in the league. It is easy to pinpoint their issues too, as they have conceded 43 times this term and have the worst defensive record in all of League Two.

Well it is interesting how the hosts could have lost the first leg played away from home at the 3rd league club of Lipoti with 3-1 in the end, but not worries they know very well they have what it takes to produce a big win at home and still make it through to the next round of this competition and I say this because the guests even in their 3rd league level lost their last away game with 4-0 there, so the hosts who are a 1st league side even though just fresh from the 2nd league level last season, are for sure capable of covering this asian handicap bet here.
Hertha player Jordan Torunarigha said he was targeted by Schalke fans repeatedly during the game. The DFB said the player was racially abused in the 85th minute from a group of Hertha supporters. Torunarigha was then sent off in extra time for a second bookable offence, throwing down a water crate on the sideline.
Zeros: RB Leipzig’s security people We all know that the coronavirus is causing uncertainty and so forth, but there isn’t really much excuse for the security wonks at RB Leipzig who apparently decided to boot out some Japanese fans from their game against Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend. Unfortunately, in this specific case, due to the great uncertainty that currently exists in our country about this topic, a mistake was made in the interpretation of the recommendations to our Japanese guests,” said a club statement.
Olympiakos come into 2020 still to lose in the Greek Super League. They are in second place and just two points behind PAOK with a ten point gap to third. Home form has seen them fail to win just one of their home league games with just three goals conceded. Panathinaikos are the draw experts in the league but this is a tough game for them and the home side can get the win and be ahead at both half and full time.
Wonder what VAR would have made of that penalty? HAT TIP Here’s Eni Aluko in the Guardian looking forward to Sam Kerr’s arrival at Chelsea and the impending rivalry with Arsenal’s Vivianne Miedema. In 2020 we will have two players in England whose ambition will be to prove themselves the world’s best forward.
Moyes left Everton for Manchester United as the personal recommendation of the retiring Sir Alex Ferguson, his reputation glowing after his time at Goodison Park. Since then he has been sacked after only 10 months at Manchester United, dismissed by Real Sociedad in La Liga after 12 months and was in charge when Sunderland were cut adrift and relegated in 2016-17, winning only six league games. There is no doubt, despite the respectable spell at West Ham, that Moyes' reputation has been damaged and he will need quick wins to dispel the scepticism among fans.
Seeded players Daniil Medvedev, Karen Khachanov and David Goffin have all been knocked out by other players. That left the Canadian with a route to the last four that has seen him have to defeat unseeded players and a qualifier. He struggled in the first round having to come from a set down to beat Stefano Travaglia.
There's a gap that's already difficult to overcome looking at how many points Liverpool have dropped," Rodgers added. We still have a lot more to do to get to a level we want to be. I have a great perspective of where we are at, we respect the level we are at. We were playing against a team (Man City) that are one of the super clubs.
Union Berlin are set to host another one of the Bundesliga's newly promoted sides, Cologne, this Sunday afternoon. Union will be pleased with how their first season in Germany's top-flight has gone thus far. They are currently sitting in 11th place in the Bundesliga table, well clear of the relegation zone.
Well, I honestly think Slutsk party is about to end. We have been seeing them high up in the table in the 3rd place and actually they have the same points as BATE now. It's about to change and BATE will show them exactly why they are a title contenders. Last time these two met at BATE's the result was 3 x 0 and I can see history repeating this time. BATE also started not so well this season and they will be very keen to end Slutsk's dreams this weekend. Price for this under 3,5 goals should be at 1,37 by the way
Sheffield Wednesday is coming to this game after two great wins first over Brighton in fa cup on the road and then versus second best team in the league,Leeds,also on the road and I think it Will be very bad for them to interrupt that streak in a what looks like easy game at home cause they are better team then Blackburn there is no doubts in that and also at home they have great record versus them so I expect from Sheffield to win this and also who wants to risk could try to go with two goals handicap on hosts
And then Mustafi, on for the injured Chambers, was badly at fault when he allowed Abraham far too much time to control, turn and score the winner. Arteta will have seen some good signs but ultimately old faults let Arsenal down. There is going to be no quick fix. Lampard finds a way as Chelsea winChelsea boss Lampard clearly felt he got his team selection wrong by ditching his three-man central defence and introducing Jorginho after 34 minutes - and deserves great credit for seeing it was not working and putting it right.
Brighton extend Potter contract Brighton & Hove Albion have extended manager Graham Potter's contract by two years, which will see him stay at the club until 2025, the Premier League side said on Tuesday. Potter, who arrived from Swansea City and replaced Chris Hughton at Brighton in the close season, has reinvigorated the club that barely survived relegation last season.
West Ham are in deep trouble going into this game. They are a place and three points above the relegation zone and that's after spending a fortune in the summer. With their next three games against Chelsea, Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Hammers could easily slip into the bottom three soon. Chelsea are fourth in the table and their last two league defeats have been by Liverpool and Manchester City. They are in good form at home and can be backed to get the win here.
But, in truth, neither side really deserved to take all three points. Newcastle won't complain - they are now eight games unbeaten at home and are now only four points off the top four. Crystal Palace drop to 12th, two points adrift of their opponents. TALKING POINT Almiron finally breaks his duck: Hopes had been high on Tyneside when Almiron signed for Newcastle back in January for a then-record £21 million.
Football's future is uncertainOne thing that seems certain is that this has changed the whole landscape of football, in terms of salaries and future transfer fees. I hope that does not mean we will see some clubs going to the wall. The advance from the Premier League will, I hope, help the lower leagues survive this unprecedented period - but at the moment no-one knows when we will get back to playing again.
Gladbach forward Alassane Plea said felling Bayern would mean so much. Bayern are a big club with countless successes," he said this week. They have won the league title almost every season in the past years and play without interruption in the Champions League. They have top players and are arguably the strongest team in the league.
Zwolle will be hoping to make a positive start to the new year after losing their last two games of 2019 but failed to win any of their two winter break friendlies against Belgian sides Standard Liege and Zulte-Waregem. Utrecht will also be aiming to make a return to winning ways after narrowly losing 2-1 at home to Feyenoord before Christmas and their 4-3 friendly win against Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen suggests they are in with an excellent chance of securing all three points on Friday night.

Deportivo Las Sabanas will against Diriangen in match Nicaragua Premier Division. My prediction this match could be the win for Diriangen with margin score is 2 goals. Diriangen have great result on last 5 match in league due to Diriangen have won in 4 match and 1 match is draw. Meanwhile, Deportivo Las Sabanas have not good result on last 5 match in league due to Deportivo Las Sabanas only have draw in 1 match and 4 match is lose. Therefore, my prediction that Diriangen will beat Deportivo Las Sabanas due to Diriangen more strong and have better rank rather than Deportivo Las Sabanas. Surely Diriangen have more chance to win on this match.
It would take a collapse of unthinkable proportions from a Liverpool team that have forgotten how to lose league games, and are at the peak of their powers, to throw this away now. The Queen's famous horse Devon Loch, who inexplicably fell within sight of the winning line in the 1956 Grand National, would be wiped from the history books as the worst finisher if Liverpool made a hash of this. Liverpool will, correctly, point to the twists and turns that could yet impact on their route to the title - but every indicator suggests this race is run in all but the confirmation.
Their easy-on-the-eye football was a welcome addition and early in the season it helped them produce a couple of shocks - most notably when they beat reigning champions Manchester City 3-2 in September. That was City's first defeat since January 2019 and gave the Canaries hope that they could avoid the drop. Ultimately, they ran out of steam but this result will live long in the memory of Norwich fans.
Unsurprisingly and no doubt part of the reason behind their status, they did not lose a single game, only drawing one - the 1993 Community Shield with Arsenal, which they won on penalties. The likes of Bryan Robson, Brian McClair and Lee Sharpe played a significant role during that time, with Eric Cantona's suspension for attacking a fan at Crystal Palace disrupting the side before Andrew Cole's arrival and Mark Hughes' departure signalled the end of it.
David Luiz is the first player to be sent off against Chelsea in the Premier League, having previously played for the Blues in the competition, since Vinnie Jones in 1995Yet Mustafi made up for his error with the clearance which allowed Martinelli to burst forward, after Kante's slip, and produce a sublime finish under Kepa Arrizabalaga. Chelsea looked like they had secured a first top-flight double over their London neighbours in four years when Azpilicueta restored their lead in the closing minutes but Arteta's side were not done.
Sheffield United have boosted their European qualification hopes with a run of seven points from three games. Their home form is good with only Manchester City getting a recent win in Sheffield. Chelsea are in great form though with seven wins from their last league and cup games. They score plenty of goals but keeping clean sheets isn't their strong point, especially away from home. Bet on both teams scoring.
