Melbourne return back from Asia so this will not be a easy trip to now go to Perth and expect to collect all 3 points. Perth have been a very good home team for most of this season and Melbourne have been a team struggling to score goal and win away from home. All the travel for Melbourne should cost them any chance of winning this match and the home team should take control and run them off their feet. Perth have a very strong team listed to play and seem good enough to go on and win the match

Burnley won 1-0 at West Ham. Garth Crooks' team of the weekGoalkeeper - Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester) Emiliano Martinez made two excellent saves from Kelechi Iheanacho to keep Arsenal in the game against Leicester. The Argentine has looked solid since he took over from the injured Bernd Leno but it's Kasper Schmeichel who makes my team of the week. The one-handed save from Alexandre Lacazette was first class and so was his tip over the bar when he was almost deceived by Hector Bellerin, who shaped to cross but hit a shot that almost crept in.
One thing is clear about this game is when the away team looses, it looses with a game ending with at least three goals and when the home team wins they like found so with much goals. Both teams are generous in defense and as per today little change has happened in both back lines. The trend won't be any different than previous games. Goals will be coming in from both ends and the team that outscores the other will emerge victorious although the home team is favorites to winning. Their last encounter produced a five goal thriller, hoping for one today.
We need to leave it for those decision-makers who are in constant contact with medical advisors. They will make the best decision and base that on people's health and wellbeing and safety, I am sure.

There's a whole bigger picture at the moment and health and safety is more important than football," she added.

If you recall, United briefed that a deal fell through because Haaland’s agent, Mino Raiola, wanted a cut of any future transfer – leaving the path clear for Dortmund to sign him for what already looks like a paltry £17m.

Hi ! Gerashchenko is Smorgoni’s coach, he always puts the bus against an opponent and plays sickening football with a minimum of points. Smorgon failed the first round /, but the teams played the second part of the championship on an equal footing, and the game in Rechitsa was left to the guests 5-3. The very powerful preseason of Smorgoni allows us to hope that the Gomel club is fully prepared for the start of the season and can count on victory in this game. I think in this match the second team will at least not lose the favorite. Good luck!

Premier League - to do the same by the end of the week. What has happened so far?Health secretary Matt Hancock was among the leading politicians calling for players to take a pay cut and "play their part.

Danny Welbeck's introduction in the second half did provide them with some pace and quality in the final third but it was too little too late. Welbeck wriggled into several promising positions and forced Kepa Arrizabalaga into a superb save late on, but it was one of very few moments that would have excited any Watford supporters watching at home. And it was a performance indicative of a side, if you discount Jan Bednarek's own goal, that has failed to score in three consecutive defeats and is now anxiously looking over its shoulder at their relegation rivals.
He is probably not quite proactive enough for Barcelona. However, what on earth qualifies Xavi for the role? A couple of lottery wins in Qatar?
