Wu Lei tests positive for coronavirus The Chinese Football Association announced on Saturday that Wu, who plays for Espanyol in La Liga, had contracted the coronavirus and the 28-year-old confirmed he is now self-isolating. Dear fans, as you might already know I indeed have got the virus," said the striker, who joined the Spanish club last January from Chinese Super League side Shanghai SIPG.
I always say, there was a moment before and a moment after. I was 18 and I had played against Estonia and Latvia - small countries - but then you think 'if I can play against Brazil, I can play against anyone'. Now it's normal for us to play against big countries, but it was a special moment for us because it was the beginning of big matches for Andorra. All these years on, having faced more of world football's biggest stars, Lima still maintains that the Brazilian Ronaldo is the best he has come up against.
Real Madrid remain one of the heavyweights of La Liga but sides like Real Sociedad are making huge strides to catch up. With a string of victories over Madrid in recent months, La Real will have no fear. We foresee an end-to-end encounter with plenty of goals and the lead being swapped more than once. Back over 2.5 goals and both teams to score.
Emmen have drawn 25% of their home games and Sparta have drawn 38% of their away games, adding further weight to our prediction for a stalemate on Sunday. The hosts have only kept clean sheets in 25% of their home games and the visitors have failed to score in 38% of their away games, which points towards the possibility of a goalless draw between the pair this weekend.
That's under discussion . I'd want to, if I'm going to stay, not have the situation I find myself in where it's a bit demoralising having to put so much pressure on a few players to keep our head above water," Hodgson told reporters. We really do need some help - when I say 'we' it's not so much myself but the players .
It was undoubtedly unfortunate, with Moura having appeared to have the ball kicked against his arm as he fell under pressure from a number of United players. Despite that disappointment the visitors still had plenty of time to turn things around. However, Spurs were lethargic and struggled to find their rhythm, while in the second half they were simply outworked by their determined opponents. Jose Mourinho's side have won just one of their last six Premier League games and look certain to miss out on a top-four finish for the first time since 2015 as they sit nine points adrift of Chelsea.
But instead of his usual calm finish, he sees Van Dijk coming and spooked, swipes one that flies high! That was as good a chance as United are likely to get. GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Manchester United (Salah) Alisson collects another aimless cross and sends a fine pass into space for Salah to chase. James goes with him, for reasons known best to himself doesn't bring him down, and Salah holds him off then slots home.
There their run was ended in fairly brutal fashion by Marcelo Bielsa’s Athletic Bilbao. In a strange quirk of fate that only football seems able to conjure up in the starting XI for Athletic in both matches of the semi-final was Andoni Iraola, now the manager of Mirandes. Andoni Iraola the manager of CD Mirandes reacts during the La Liga Smartbank match between Deportivo de La Coruna and CD Mirandes at Abanca Riazor Stadium on September 29, 2019 in La Coruna, Spain.
The players, directors and staff have shown good leadership and responsibility by doing this voluntarily," the former Liverpool and England captain told the Rangers website. It was a no-brainer and the right thing to do. It was unanimous everyone wanted to do this. It's important in these hard times that no one suffers from any financial hardship.
The march from Europa league between Porto and Leverkusen is a best new chance for our pick we play at the mach now and can look a new win for this our pick at the mach now. If we see this pick as a win we will can look get a new great 6 points to our score for this three goals at the mach. We will look see more goals for this much and this pick over from 2.50 goals is best and get to our play a secure pick for this time what be a best new chance for our play at the mach.
Tanjong Pagar are back in the Premier League. They haven't played in the top division since 2014. They looked good in offense in the first match against Lion City and I wait for goals from them when hosting Albirex Niigata that conceded two goals in the latest match against Balestier.
Porto are unbeaten in their last seven matches in all competitions, picking up six wins, and have kept clean sheets in three of their last six matches while Tondela have lost four of their last six matches and each of those defeats have seen the club fail to score, so you can see why we have backed the hosts to win-to-nil on Monday night.
We went out on the Tuesday night to a Chinese restaurant called the Amber Regent, one of our favourite haunts. We had a few glasses of wine, put the Dunfermline game to bed as a group and cracked on with training on the Thursday. It was something we all felt we needed to do. Whether it was advisable ahead of a game of that magnitude, I'm not so sure, but it didn't affect us on the Saturday. Brattbakk adds: "It was a nervy week because the hype was unbelievable by then.
Those of us who covered Liverpool's last title triumph under Dalglish in 1990 would never have believed it would take 30 years to experience it again. As the smoke cleared, the lights came back on and the red and gold ticker tape littered Anfield, You'll Never Walk Alone was played again. Football, as we have seen, is impossible to predict but it would stretch the imagination to believe that this Liverpool team under its leader Klopp will make their fans wait as long again to celebrate a Premier League triumph.
Aston Villa are one from bottom but a home win over seventh placed Sheffield United will take them out of the relegation zone. Villa are two points from safety but do have a game in hand on their rivals. Games in hand aren't much use if you don't get points from them though. Villa were in poor form before the season was suspended with four straight league losses, the last being a 4-0 thrashing away at Leicester City.
Fulham tend to blow hot and cold but they should be able to finish in the play-off positions. They have been in good form of late but there's always that surprise defeat just around the corner. Middlesbrough struggled early in the season and Jonathan Woodgate's job as manager looked in danger. However, form has improved and they have had some good wins of late. Boro put up a good show in the FA Cup before losing to Tottenham and have another difficult game here. A bet on under 2.5 goals to be scored is the selection.
Excelsior and Maastricht will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie in Holland. Excelsior this season have the following results: 12W, 8D and 8L. Meanwhile Maastricht have 7W, 6D and 15L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard: "It means a lot to me but it's about the club and the fans. The fans have come here after a number of losses and they have backed us. They know we are a young team and what we are trying to achieve. My players showed they could fight and play against a top team, because Tottenham are a good team. Today we were everything and that's why we should be celebrating. We are not over-excited, but we are pleased with the performance.
Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup: Newport County 2-1 Leicester City highlights Last season Leicester suffered a shock exit in round three at the hands of Newport County after making a load of changes but that was under Claude Puel. Things are very different with Brendan Rodgers in charge, as we saw when he rested lots of people over Christmas and his side still beat West Ham. Wigan got their first league away win of the season when they beat Birmingham this week, but while they will make life difficult for the Foxes, I don't see them beating them.
Austria Vienna and Tirol Wattens will face each other in the upcoming match in the Austrian Bundesliga. Austria Vienna this season have the following results: 7W, 11D and 8L. Meanwhile Tirol Wattens have 6W, 6D and 14L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
But the key stat ahead of Saturday's game though is Eibar's away form – Los Armeros have won just one from seven on their travels this season and just three from their last 27 La Liga outings on the road. With such a dismal away record and obvious problems at the back, there's nothing to recommend Eibar this weekend and we're backing Sociedad to return to winning ways.
The Romanian capital Bucharest is one of the 12 host cities for the tournament which is scheduled for June 12 to July 12. Protecting the football family and active participation in the measures recommended by the Romanian government and international authorities for the protection of public health is one of the FRF's main responsibilities at this moment," FRF said in a statement.
And yet before the game is over, we are forced to deal with these two individuals, who think it's okay to behave in this way. Wolves strongly condemned the behaviour of the fans arrested and said they would support the Sussex Police in their criminal investigation. Greater Manchester Police arrested a 41-year-old man over the weekend in connection with alleged racial gestures and chants in Saturday's match between Manchester City and Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium.
AEK Athens host Panathinaikos in the 27th round of the super league in Greece, so far AEK Athens have won 51 points, ranked 3rd place in the league, while Panathinaikos are one spot below them in the standings, 4th, with 44 points.
TUESDAY’S BIG STORIES Emery looks for someone else to blame On the one hand you can’t really criticise Unai Emery too much. When someone asks for his opinion on why things went wrong at Arsenal, you can’t then get annoyed when he gives his opinion. On the other hand, it does stick in the craw somewhat when his opinion is seemingly that it was certainly someone’s fault that things went wrong, but it wasn’t his.
We have to wait, this is a waiting game all the time, it is such a changing landscape and fluctuating on a day to day basis. This is just the start in some respects, whatever proposals are put there it is then open to debate and for comment and opinion to feed into that. If training is resumed before social distancing rules are relaxed, BBC Sport understands players will be tested for coronavirus twice a week and would be screened for symptoms every day.
Rakitic, it seems, is not massively impressed with the idea that he is simply a tradable commodity. I understand the situation but I am not a sack of potatoes to do whatever you want with,” Rakitic told Mundo Deportivo in Spain. The most important thing for me is to be in a place where I am wanted, respected and needed.
Arsenal have gone six games without a win at the Emirates across all competitions (D3 L3), their longest run without a home win since between December 1994 and February 1995 under George Graham (eight games). City scored for a 20th consecutive PL away match, which equalled their own club record set in March 2015.
They are relentless, right to the end. I think that is the only way they know how to play and Klopp seems to have instilled that mentality in his whole squad, not just his first eleven. Klopp has created an environment where all his players are hungry, they are all fighting for a place and every time they get a chance they know they have to perform. What I like is that it is not one player who is the star.
Barcelona lost the 1st place in the league last week after losing at Real Madrid but could take over the 1st place again today with a win. At home Barcelona have been by far the strongest team in the league with a 12-1-0 record scoring also the most goals with a total of 44.

But that’s the sort of thing that will happen with a young squad, and the sort of thing that if all goes to plan, will be sorted in good time. In the first half, we were really, really good,” said Mikel Arteta afterwards. They executed everything that we planned in a really good way. They have courage to play; they have courage to make big decisions.

Unai Emery has been sacked as Arsenal manager after 18 months in charge. The Spaniard, who previously led Paris St-Germain to the French league title and won three Europa Leagues with Sevilla, was appointed Gunners boss in May 2018, succeeding Arsene Wenger. He is to be replaced on a temporary basis by assistant and former Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg. Arsenal said the decision had been "taken due to results and performances not being at the level required".
Aston Villa will be without striker Wesley and goalkeeper Tom Heaton for the rest of the season after both suffered knee ligament damage in Wednesday's 2-1 win at Burnley. Brazil international Wesley, 23, scored the opener but was hurt in a tackle with Clarets' defender Ben Mee. Former Burnley keeper Heaton, 33, was hurt as he attempted to stop Chris Wood 80th-minute consolation. Both players had scans on Thursday and are set for six to nine months out.
