But this transfer window will likely revolve around the future of Paul Pogba, who has started just five Premier League games this season due to injury and considered having "a new challenge somewhere else" last summer. With Odion Ighalo only on loan until the end of the season, a striker will likely be one of the club's priorities, given Romelu Lukaku's exit in August and Marcus Rashford's recent injury problems.
While Swansea have issues at the back, they’ve been a consistent scoring force at this level. They’ve scored in each of their last six Championship games, while the visitors have found the net in seven away trips on the bounce. The Welsh outfit have scored in 82% of their away games, so we expect them to test Brentford in this visit.
Club Brugge vs Real Madrid predictions for Wednesday's UEFA Champions League action. Real Madrid will be looking to end the group phase in strong fashion by securing all 3 points. Read on for all our free UEFA Champions League predictions and betting tips.
Brugge had a runaway 15 point lead at the top of the standings with one round of matches left to play before the start of the post-season playoffs, involving the top six clubs. They were runners-up last season to Racing Genk, who were seventh when the league was suspended last month in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.
Champions Liverpool were held by an in-form Burnley in the latest round of Premier League fixtures. Manchester City had another big win as they beat Brighton 5-0, while Norwich were relegated after losing 4-0 to West Ham. Sheffield United stunned Chelsea 3-0 to keep alive their hopes of playing European football next season, while Tottenham came out on top in the North London derby by beating Arsenal 2-1.
Like so many, Neil Lennon took a minute to applaud the NHS workers on Thursday evening, standing at the window of his Glasgow flat and clapping appreciatively as others around him clapped and banged their pots and pans in acknowledgment of these incredible people. He found it emotional and he wouldn't have been alone in that either. The word I keep hearing on the news, from leaders of countries and leaders of sports associations, is unprecedented," he says.
Sevilla's defeat last weekend was an obvious disappointment based on their fine recent form and the fact that Villarreal had lost six from eight on the road ahead of their trip to Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, but we don't think that Julen Lopetegui's side will dwell for too long on the result.
I feel in my time at Liverpool I've always looked to do the right thing for the team, the manager and the club in every decision I've made. I think this one fits into that category as well, so I'm buzzing to be seeing out this campaign and hopefully get to celebrate something memorable with an amazing group of people. Liverpool are 25 points clear at the top of the Premier League and are on the verge of claiming their first league title in 30 years.
The teenager was equally comfortable scoring with both feet and it was the same in other areas of his game - corners, free-kicks and penalties - he took them with whichever foot he felt like. This rare strength meant members of the first team would apparently share videos of the things Greenwood was able to do with the ball in the dressing room, while also making time to go to youth team games and training sessions to see him in action for themselves.

Vito's new team is the competition, and as a fresh in the top level, they have chance to make some good games at the begin of the league. They have won recent match in the competition, and will head here, in order to make at least one point. Host is in their standard form, and after big win against Wilsterman, at the start, they have lost from one of the weaker rivals in the league. They could have a lot of problem to break tight play of the rival, in the back, and to reach out to the goal chance.
Before the football had to be halted due to the epidemic, Los Blancos had signs of decline when consecutive Champions League footsteps and La Liga happened. Consequently, Zinedine and his students let Barcelona pass in the domestic league with a distance of 2 points.
Troare skips past Winks, feeds Jimenez who releases Doherty on the right. He centres, it bounces off Gazzaniga and leaves Jota with the simplest of finishes. GOAL! Tottenham 2-3 Wolves (Jimenez): Oh my, Wolves have the lead for the first time and it's a goal worthy to win the game! Jota embarks on a lung-busting run as Spurs back off and then rolls it across to Jimenez who leaves Tanganga in his wake before burying it past Gazzaniga.
Manchester City showed a "blatant disregard" to co-operating with Uefa's investigation into potential Financial Fair Play (FFP) breaches, says the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas). That is despite Cas overturning City's two-year ban from European competition, which was issued by Uefa in February. The club's fine was also cut from 30m euros (£26. Cas' written findings also say a majority of its panel found the failure to co-operate was a "severe breach".
Real Madrid have been on a steady rise in recent matches but will face a tough challenge against Real Sociedad. However, with their form at home and in recent matches, we feel they are the favorites here. Real Madrid have five straight clean sheets, but here they face a side that scored in 10 of their last 11 matches. Real Madrid have scored 17 goals in the last five home matches and with Karim Benzema on the rise, there is reason to feel the streak will continue. Here we are thus backing Real Madrid for a 2-1 win.

We feel that it will be tough to deny Dortmund all three points in this game. Lucien Favre's side are undefeated in each of their last five games, of which they've won three. Furthermore, Dortmund are undefeated in 12 of their last 13 Bundesliga games.
Norwich City need points if they are to avoid being left stranded in the relegation zone. Their away form is poor so results at Carrow Road are going to be vital for them if they are to stay up. They gave Arsenal a tough match last weekend and are likely to do the same to Sheffield United. The Yorkshire side are starting to struggle with no wins in four league games. Go for a double chance bet on City to win or draw this match.
But Tim Stillman, a local reporter covering Arsenal Women, says "England haven't given Nobbs prominence" in midfield and do not allow her the fluidity she enjoys at club level. I don't think we've seen the Arsenal Jordan for England as often as we ought to have," Stillman told BBC Sport. It's how she judges and sets the tempo of a game - everything she does is quick but never rushed and she always tries to go forward and break the lines.
Stoke and Luton will face each other in the upcoming match in the Championship. Stoke this season have the following results: 4W, 2D and 14L. Meanwhile Luton have 6W, 2D and 12L.

Everton have only kept one clean sheet in their past 17 away games in the Premier League, conceding at least two goals in 10 of these fixtures. Wolves have now kept a clean sheet in five of their past six Premier League games at Molineux (W3 D2 L1), as many as they had in their previous 18 combined. Wolves striker Raul Jimenez has scored with all six of the penalties he has taken in the Premier League; only Yaya Toure (11), Dimitar Berbatov (nine), Jan Molby (seven) and Rickie Lambert (seven) have a better 100% ratio in the competition.

The visitors have seen both teams score in 75% of their away trips this term, while Swansea have just two clean sheets in their last 10 home matches. The Welsh side have conceded in 77% of their matches at the Liberty, while Charlton have found the net in 83% of their trips. We expect them to get another goal here, with both teams to score our pick in this clash.
But is the gig for him on current form? And who could replace him? Dean Henderson - on loan from Manchester United with Sheffield United. It may not actually be that wild a suggestion. He's let in just 20 goals in 23 Premier League appearances this season and his club manager, Chris Wilder, certainly backs him. On BBC Radio 5 Live, Wilder said: "If there is a better goalkeeper in the world at the moment I have not seen one.
Raheem Sterling has found the back of the net in both of his Champions League appearances against Shakhtar Donetsk at the Etihad, netting in September 2017 and November 2018. Shakhtar DonetskShakhtar Donetsk are unbeaten in their last three away Champions League matches (won two, drew one) - they have never gone four in a row without defeat on the road in the competition. Shakhtar scored twice in the 90th minute of their 3-3 draw with Dinamo Zagreb on matchday four, becoming only the third team to do so in an away Champions League game, along with Ajax at Thun in November 2005 and Spurs at Inter Milan in October 2010.
He told BBC Sport: "With Pep, his man-management is just amazing - look at what he has done to Raheem Sterling. His finishing wasn't the greatest when he joined us, but he has turned him into a goal machine. He's improved everyone really, from Nicolas Otamendi - who was pretty shonky at first - to Kevin de Bruyne. Why Chelsea sold Kev I will never know, because he is the real deal. He is something else.

The previous meeting between these two sides this season saw Fortuna leave with a 3-1 victory. We expect Saturday's fixture to see a similarly high scoring contest.

An estimated 800,000 Kosovars live abroad and much of Challandes's time has been spent trawling the Diaspora for potential players and watching videos in search of new recruits, often competing with Albania, Switzerland, Germany and other nations to win their allegiance.

Lazio have won five of their last six home league games. The last five home league games have seen Lazio score 18 goals. Lazio have won their last six league matches.

What are Premier League and English football's options amid coronavirus?Players had faced scrutiny, notably from health secretary Matt Hancock, to take a cut in wages and "play their part" in offering support during the coronavirus pandemic.

Before the Premier League statement was released, club captains - led by Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson - held discussions over the creation of a charitable fund which could benefit the NHS.
NorthEast United will host Bengaluru for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very average team in this league. North East are currently on the 5th place with 10 points. Hosts have a poor results in the last matches. However, I expect, they will try to make a positive result in this game. They probably want to stay in the race for one of the top four places in the table. Also, we have Bengaluru who's is more ambitious team in this season. True, in previous game Bengaluru lost 2-3 against average Mumbai City. Maybe this is - draw.. My pick - North East Utd to win.
Bristol City will host Millwall for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts have the motivation to fighting for all three points. Bristol City are more ambitious team in this season. They are currently on the 4th place with 35 points. In previous game Bristol City is won 1-2 against strong Fulham. Also, we have Millwall who's is very average team in this season. True, the visitors are undefeated in their last matches. However, Millwall is better team at home. In any case, Bristol City will try to advantage on their pitch. Hosts have an effective attack. They will try to make a positive result.

Premier League to return in… China? Of all the outlandish proposals around how to potentially finish the season, the most ridiculous has now surfaced in The Athletic. Ahead of Friday’s crunch meeting between the 20 clubs which will help clarify the league’s response to the coronavirus, it is expected that the issue of how to finish the season, and avoid paying nearly £800m back to TV companies, will be urgently addressed.
Marseille have just been so efficient with their play in recent weeks and with two consecutive clean sheets on the road, we think the visitors should be able to extend their winning streak here. Les Olympiens have conceded the least chances and joint least goals of all Ligue 1 teams over the last six games and they should have enough quality to hold firm against this awful Metz side.
Tottenham Hotspur's £1bn state-of-the art stadium is being used as a hub in the fight against the current coronavirus crisis. Spurs have offered their stadium to the NHS to help fight the pandemic, with the car park built underneath the stadium already being used as a storage base for food, as the newly formed London Food Alliance attempt to ensure the most vulnerable do not go hungry. It means the 62,303-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is serving as one of Haringey's two main centres, along with Alexandra Palace.
Time and again the visitors were able to find space, particularly in the channels between each full-back and centre-back, and should have exploited that to a far greater extent than they managed. Only a combination of poor finishing and an excellent display by the two Spurs centre-backs (particularly the impressive Davinson Sanchez) kept the tie alive on a night that still saw the hosts take a lead and an away goal back to Germany.

Feel quite safe in taking the over 2.5 goals in this encounter as the guests are newly promoted side which find it easier to counter and score goals on more open spaces in away games. In fact they even won on round 1 with no less than 3-0 away from home at a pretty decent Arsenal side which won its next two games in the league. But attack was excellent for them, and last away game they scored 2 goals once more away from home at Volna Pinsk but that time not so lucky in defense conceding 3 times and losing the game with 3-2 in the end.
When we were at Barcelona, he was in our plans. He has evolved a lot. He's a very interesting player. We are delighted with his performances. Paper Round’s view: Traore offers excellent technical ability that is hugely dangerous when coupled with his maturing approach to the game alongside his ridiculous speed.

The UK has been in lockdown now for just over two months. In that time, we have missed lots of things - friends, family, pubs, popular high street pasty chains. We've also missed our favourite footballers. Nevertheless, in a way, it feels like we've got to know some of them better than ever, as they've let us into their homes - with broadcast group calls on IGLive and streamed yoga lessons. Many footballers have shown off new or hidden talents - from dancing, to playing the piano, to juggling toilet rolls.

America have equalized in the finish of the first match and they can have problem to beat this rival in Mexico for the getting to the next round of Champion league. They have conceded from the rival counter attack, and this game could be similar with the score or goals in the net of both teams.
R.Rzeszow have winless in their last six games. They have drawn in their last three games. R. Rzezcow are currently four place in the promotion playoff places. Legionovia legionowo are currently sixteen place fourteen points from safety. Their chances of relegation is likely since the federation have decided to withdraw license for them to play on division two next season which will affect their morale. This will be an opportunity for R. Rwez how to get their first win after six games which will push them closer to direct promotion places. I expect R. Rwezcow to get a narrow win in this match.
