The Premier League should not be criticised for discussing how the season should be concluded, says former England striker Ian Wright. Top-flight clubs held a meeting on Friday at which finishing the season in a 40-day window was one of the scenarios discussed. The Premier League has been criticised for holding the meeting, but Wright said people were wrong to "have a go". It seems like football is the punching bag," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
The Gunners had finished second to United in the three previous seasons, but would pip them this time around, clinching the title with this win at Old Trafford. Sylvain Wiltord's goal, on his 100th Arsenal appearance, gave them the win, the title and the Double, having beaten Chelsea in the FA Cup final four days earlier. Keown: "This was immensely special. What we'd been through from the 1998 win, watching United win the Treble in 1999, we'd lost the Uefa Cup final in 2000, the FA Cup in 2001 and each season we came second to Manchester United.
Did Sterling want to injure him? I don't think so. I don't believe that. Respect to Sterling. But the intention doesn't count and what counts is the action. It's a red card. Son Heung-min put Spurs 1-0 up at St Mary's on 25 January before substitute Sofiane Boufal's late equaliser forced a replay at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The winners of Wednesday's replay will host Norwich City in the fifth round.

This was not the performance of a team trying to get its manager the sack but it is another loss - and Silva's fate is sure to be the subject of more discussion before Wednesday's visit to Premier League leaders Liverpool in the Merseyside derby. Leicester take a leaf out of Liverpool's bookLiverpool's relentless charge towards what would be a first Premier League title for 30 years has been built on battling through periods of adversity before emerging victorious late on, as they have done in recent times against the likes of Tottenham, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Leicester City.

Gareth Bale does not want to come back to the Premier League and is likely to finish his career at Real Madrid, his agent Jonathan Barnett has said. The 30-year-old has been linked with a return to England with his relationship with Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane understood to be strained. Bale almost moved to China last summer but the deal fell through. He has a very nice lifestyle. I don't see why he doesn't see his career out at Madrid probably," Barnett said.

We all have an interest in preserving the economic balance and for this very reason we must evaluate all the elements of the moment," he told ANSA news agency. Lack of revenue, postponement of competitions, cancellation of events, government contributions, federal aid, support from international institutions.
The side managed by Steve Ferguson and Stuart Kettlewell has seen plenty of goals in their home ties, with 100% of them seeing over 2.5 goals. The Staggies have netted on average 1.5 goals but concede a fair amount- 2.33 against. Moreover, the Dingwall side has kept a clean sheet in 17% of home games whilst also scoring in 83% of those games.
One thing we are expecting is a lack of clean sheets. Norwich, for all their faults, have only failed to score once at Carrow Road this season. However, they are yet to keep a clean sheet there, and the visiting Sheffield United have found the net in all but one of their away games. The Blades’ are undoubtedly a defensively solid side, but even they have only kept two clean sheets on the road this season, so backing Both Teams to Score looks a great shout on Sunday.
Another interesting match for next morning and this one is from elite league in Indonesia, where I hope that we can see at least three goals, what is pretty real. So, Bali United is interesting team who is lost in last match against Ceres Negros, even 4-0, while Madura United is coming in this match after 0-0, 4-0, 2-1, 2-4 and 0-1 in last five duels in league. For me, with this form of this two rivals and with this excellent odds of 1,85 it is pretty ok and real to try. I will take this bet earlier, surely. It is real.

Though Ibrahim recorded five consecutive wins, he did not have his contract renewed by the Syria Football Association when it expired at the end of 2020.

We're five points behind (league leaders Celtic) with a game in hand - but I think it's important we just focus on the three points available; it will be a tough game. Our performances down at Hibs, since I have been here, have been really positive and really strong but we haven't got the rewards that the performances deserved. We want the same type of performance but we want to be more clinical in taking our chances.
Media playback is not supported on this device Leicester City 2-2 Chelsea: Draw a fair result - Lampard The outcome in part also vindicated Lampard's decision to drop the world's most expensive goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, in favour of Willy Caballero. At 38, the Argentine is heading towards the twilight of his career but he made a superb save early on to deny Jamie Vardy his 18th goal of the season and, although his decision to charge away from goal in pursuit of a cross in the build-up to Chilwell's goal was an aberration, he was otherwise solid.
Bayern Munchen is in first place with 70 points and they have 7 points more than Dortmund that is in second place. Borussia M'Gladbach is in 4th place and they are fighting against Leipzig for a place in UEFA Champions League in the next season and I expect from them a good match here.
For this match we're targeting the 'Both Teams To Score' market but we're backing the opposite to happen in this match. Monaco have been famous for extremely exciting matches this season with the BTTS market a regular for Leonardo Jardim's side but it has been a different story away from home. Both teams have scored in just two of Monaco's last six away games and just one of Bordeaux's last five at the Matmut Atlantique.
Bilbao boast the best defence in La Liga with just nine goals conceded although they have kept just two clean sheets on their travels, so both teams to score looks a cracking bet this weekend with a 1-1 scoreline also predicted.
well in this game I decided to go with low odd but I can say I m very sure in this bet cause Coventry is first of all one of the best teams in the league and also second best team at home and also they won 3 games in a row so everything is telling they will continue their streak!on the other side, mk dons is in solid shape but still they are one of the worst teams in the league on the road so versus top contender for the title they don't have a lot of hopes for winning any points!
Everything has to be perfect," Ancelotti, who masterminded a 2-0 Champions League win over Liverpool with former side Napoli in September, told reporters on Friday.

Manchester United take on Manchester City in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday - the first Manchester derby of the decade. The two teams met 26 times in all competitions in the 2010s with 12 wins for City, 11 victories for United and three draws. But can you name all of the goalscorers from those matches? We have not included own goals so there are 34 different players and to help you we have included the side they were playing for at the time and the country that they come from.
Since then, the silence from Napoli has been deafening as the club has imposed a media blackout, refusing to let Ancelotti and his players take part even in post-match television interviews and media conferences which are compulsory under competition rules. The club's website has posted only minimal details about training sessions and how players performed with their national teams during the last few days.

He has 10 assists so far - just eight shy of the total he managed in the whole of his excellent 2017-18 campaign. That also puts him halfway down the road to equalling Thierry Henry's single-season record in the Premier League of 20 assists. If you compare De Bruyne to the best-performing players in Europe's top leagues, while his goal return total lets him down slightly, his assists tally is the best in the continent - with only Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho anywhere close to him on eight.
Time is running out for Barcelona to maintain their La Liga title challenge, and the same could be true for manager Quique Setien's hopes of keeping his job. Setien was only appointed in January but, after just 19 games in charge, his future is already uncertain. Barca are four points behind leaders Real Madrid with four games to play, and head into Wednesday's home derby date with bottom club Espanyol needing both a convincing win and performance.
West Ham have one win in nine away matches Manchester United have one loss in 13 matches. West Ham have scored in 10 of their 18 league away matches Manchester United have scored two or more in their last five home matches. Manchester United will look to rise from their FA Cup shocker when they return their focus to the Premier League, and the top four race this Wednesday as they host West Ham United.
The side have averaged 1.15 goals per game this season, a figure that is reasonable for a side in the bottom half but they’ll need to improve that figure to get themselves out of trouble. 52% of their games have been the over 2.5 goal line with the same figure when it comes to both teams scoring.
Without winning at every turn, Fleetwood continue to go quietly about their business in League 1. Joey Barton's men have lost none of their last five matches and are now outside of the play-off places by just goal difference.

Eleventh in the table, Palace have relinquished hopes of a surprise Champions League challenge after two successive defeats. They are ten points off fifth (and sixth), but seventh, and a qualifying spot for the Europa League, is only three points away.

Listening to the anger of the jilted three at Tynecastle has been a surreal experience.

For black, Asian and mixed ethnicities, they're four times more likely to get the illness, they're twice as likely to have long lasting illnesses - is there anything extra, additional screening, heart stuff to see if people have got problems with that? No. OK, well I feel that should be addressed. I can't get a haircut until mid-July but I can go and get in a box with 19 people and go and jump for a header and nobody could answer the questions, not because they didn't want to, just because they don't know the information.
There was an element of fortune about the winner as Guaita inexplicably misjudged Norwood's cross, but Wilder's team refused to sit back on their 1-0 lead and could have won by a more comfortable margin.
