Having consulted, and worked closely, with our friends and partners from across the city for many weeks now, we feel proud to be playing even a small role within a wider community effort that has once again shown Manchester’s strength of spirit, its resilience and togetherness. We remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting Manchester over the coming weeks through this crisis and beyond, into its recovery, in full confidence that our city will come back stronger than before.
Espanyol have a poor run not just in the recent matches, but in the season too. They restarted on a high but what has let them down in the season checked in right after and they are seeking a first win in four. They have a poor run against Real Madrid, which further dims their hopes. Most crucially, is that Espanyol have been capitulating in the second half, while Real Madrid have consolidated most of their wins in the second half in recent matches. Based on this, we will go with a Half Time/Full Time bet of a draw at the break and Real Madrid winning at full time.
in this game I expect goals because both teams should be very motivated to win this game,Lincoln because they are good at home with 9 wins this season but now they are in horrible shape and after 4 defeats in a row they are very close to the relegation zone but versus a team with 9 defeats on the road they should score some goals, on the other hand,Milton is still trying to get away from relegation zone and now they are in very good shape and after 11 games without a victory on the road they could win tonight but for that they need to score at least 2 goals!
That prediction leads into our correct score selection which sees us predicting Adelaide will run out 3-0 winners and continue their fantastic form. They should have enough power defensively to keep a clean sheet and with their front line looking more and more potent, a 3-0 scoreline for the home side looks real value at 11/1.
Munich and Magdeburg will face each other in the upcoming match in the 3. Liga in Germany. Munich this season have the following results: 9W, 8D and 7L. Meanwhile Magdeburg have 6W, 11D and 7L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Utrecht vs RKC predictions for Sunday's match in the Eredivisie. High-flying Utrecht will be expecting a win on Sunday when they play host to bottom of the table RKC and it's hard to see the newly-promoted club adding to their one away point on Sunday. Read on for all our free predictions and betting tips.
Meanwhile, Union Berlin have similarly been a part of plenty of open games on their travels this season. They have failed to keep a single away clean sheet in the Bundesliga this season, after playing five Bundesliga away games. Furthermore, both teams have scored in three of Union's five Bundesliga away games.
In terms of attack, Betis have been consistent, scoring in 14 of their last 15 matches. Their attacking threat is well depicted in the fact that they’ve scored two or more in seven of their last 10 matches. But they’ve kept only one clean sheet in their last five matches. As a consequence, three of their last five matches have yielded over 2.
Jose Mourinho says Arsenal have little "to celebrate" after they appeared to mock Tottenham's Premier League defeat at Sheffield United on social media. Highlights of Arsenal's FA Cup win at the Blades on Facebook were captioned: "It's not easy beating Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. You only enjoy the problems of others when you are also in trouble," said the Spurs boss. Arsenal are seventh in the top flight, with Spurs four points back in 10th.
Wolverhampton are in the race to compete in the top 4 of the Premier League. They are currently sixth with 46 points, 5 points behind the fourth-placed Chelsea. To stay competitive, Wolves need to win against Bournemouth in round 31.
However, the hosts took the lead after 48 minutes when a Gomez shot from inside the box was deflected into the back of the net off the hip of Jordi Alba. And the Uruguayan striker finally got his name on the score sheet, guiding a finish past ter Stegen to double Valencia’s advantage and consign Barcelona to a damaging defeat.

The hosts have only managed to win two of their seven home games in the league so far this season while the visitors have only won once on the road but have secured two draws. Belenenses average 1.00 points per home game and Vitoria Setubal average 0.71 points per away game, which is one of the main reasons we have backed the pair to draw on Saturday. The hosts score an average of 0.86 goals per home game while the visitors score an average of 0.57 goals per away game, so you can see why we have backed the pair to play out a goalless draw this weekend.
While it may be high times for MLS, Abbott can recall the tougher times long before David Beckham's arrival in 2007 gave MLS an instant boost. The former England captain, one of the most marketable athletes on the planet, drove media and fan interest to new levels and opened the door to a number of big-name players to follow in his footsteps, including Thierry Henry, Steven Gerrard and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Added to this is the Klopp factor, under whose leadership the former Stuttgart man could mature and maximise his next stage of development. He would certainly match the playing style of the reigning European champions, who are characterised by intense pressing and high speed in attack. To fill this rotation role Werner would "only" have to displace Divock Origi in the Liverpool pecking order.
Thirty-second round of the Premier league and the team that plays at home is Aston Villa, which is in the 19th position and needs a lot to win to get out of the relegation zone. On the other side we have a Wolverhampton team that is in sixth position and has a great chance of qualifying for the Europa league. Mt suggestion is a win for Wolverhampton, because in the last three games he played away from home, he won two and drew one, moreover, he has the same 49 points from Manchester United and that is why this game is fundamental for Wolverhampton and my guess it's Wolverhampton's victory.
It’s a surprise that it’s taken this long for the hosts to make a managerial change to be honest. West Ham have won just two of their last 13 league matches and find themselves a point above the relegation zone, and now they’ll be looking towards the infamous new manager bounce effect to steer them away from the relegation battle.
Sturm and LASK will face each other in the upcoming match in the Bundesliga. Sturm this season have the following results: 10W, 5D and 12L. Meanwhile LASK have 18W, 4D and 5L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
We saw that at Aston Villa to make something feel like a penalty where maybe it even isn't. As a player we can talk about VAR decisions and whether they're right or wrong. But if a player is going to dangle a leg and not move their feet then you obviously do leave yourself open to penalties, VAR or no VAR. Solskjaer, speaking before his side meet Chelsea at Wembley, said: "If you've got quick feet like Dan James, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood you'll get tackled outside and inside the box," said Solskjaer.
It also said it would work alongside the federation and players' association to make it easier for player's to report derogatory chanting. Addressing the outbreaks of violence among fans, the league added that it would review how tickets are sold to matches and would press charges against anyone found to be involved in the incidents.
It looks a horrendous injury for Jetro, which is a big blow to us," Bruce said. We fear it's his cruciate. We're due a bit of luck. I've never known anything quite like it over the last few weeks so we're due. It doesn't look great with Paul Dummett either so in that area in particular, all of a sudden, within four or five days we've got a problem.
Play on without fans Another would be to follow the example of last night's Europa League game between LASK and Manchester United. The game went ahead, but save for officials and essential staff, there was no presence in the stadium. Playing behind closed doors has been used in Serie A, for example, before the country enforced severe restrictions.
He was not faultless; his comments ahead of the Champions League final were naïve at best. However, not to put too fine a point on it, that decline began in the summer of 2017, put in motion after the club – and for club, read board – failed to improve a team that had achieved their best finish in the modern era.

Feyenoord have only lost one of their last seven matches against Utrecht, with the pair drawing twice during that period, and both teams have scored in four of the duos’ last six encounters. Both teams scored in Utrecht’s last match against Heracles while Feyenoord have drawn three of their last six matches and four of those games have seen both teams score, so you can see why we have back goals to be scored in this game by both teams and for the visitors to avoid defeat this weekend.
Frankfurt were in desperate form before the season was halted, losing by four goals to Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and three at home FC Basel in the Europa League. A midtable side playing below their potential, it has been a transitional season for Frankfurt after a couple of successful campaigns. Their struggles have stemmed from the sale of the front three that combined so well.
Watford's Troy Deeney had a penalty saved as his side drew 0-0 with Tottenham at Vicarage Road, extending the hosts' unbeaten run in the Premier League to seven matches. Paulo Gazzaniga dived low to his right to deny the Hornets captain following Jan Vertonghen's handball in the second half. Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster saved from Nathaniel Chalobah and Lucas Moura before half-time to thwart Jose Mourinho's side, who have now gone four league games without a win.
But no. We got in at full-time and Fergie went at me for two or three minutes saying 'you are finished, you are out and in the reserves, that is you done'. All the big boys including Cristiano Ronaldo were still in the dressing room at the time. That was me done, I was training with the reserves for the rest of the season. Pulis not fond of 'that Barca' footballFoster had a year at Birmingham, where he won the League Cup, before spending seven seasons at West Brom and playing under Tony Pulis.
Torpedo fc have held BATE fc up to the end of the game while they were both unable to find the back of the net, and that game ended without a goal so I think this opponent was very tough for them to overcome but they fought enough to share the spoil and they were on the road so here they are at their home ground I expect them to take all entire points. The visitors have won their last home game with 1-0 scoreline but they look like they are very poor in their performance when they are away from home so there nothing to expect from them. I expect home to win the game.
Not scared to make brutal decisions'Analysis by BBC Sport's Simon StoneThe Watford owners have never been ones for sentiment. Neither have they been scared to make brutal decisions if they felt it was in the best interests of their club. At this stage of the season, survival is the only thing on their minds. And the desperate first-half performance in Friday's must-win game at the London Stadium led them to conclude a change was required given the two fixtures that lie ahead.
Getty Images Elite level footballers would not, to this observer's eye, risk the prime of their careers to be squad players in squads that were limited to 14 players. Silva made 20 further appearances for City in his debut season but how many of those 20 times would he have made a speculative 14-player City squad? Certainly not 20.

GremioGetty Images FULL STORY 19:10 - Liverpool reverse furlough decision Liverpool have listened to the cacophanous volume of pelters being aimed their way since they said they were going to take state cash to furlough their workers, and announced they will front up the whole wedge instead. FULL STORY 18:20 - Italian referee sceptical of VAR during coronavirus "In some cases for the video assistants today, we use narrow spaces, such as vans, where the referees work in a space of two square metres, without a safe distance between them and other workers," Marcello Nicci - the head of Italy's referees' association (AIA) - told RAI television.
Hosts Istanbul Basaksehir narrowly missed the title last season, finishing second, two points behind the winners and seem to have learned their lesson. Being ahead of second placed Trabzonspor by four points, and with two matches to play, they can win the title with a game to spare if they collect the three points on offer here.
They have failed to score in just one of their last 10 matches and are unbeaten in four matches at home, with two straight clean sheets. With four straight wins in the Europa League, they will be confident going to this match, and they have three clean sheets in the four. Wolfsburg have scored in each of their last 12 Europa League matches and have registered six wins in 10 home matches in Europa League.
The trouble flared in Monday's match when Lapadula converted an 83rd-minute penalty to cut Cagliari's lead to 2-1 and then rushed to grab the ball out of the net. Sweden international Olsen got there first and hoofed the ball away, prompting an angry remonstration from Lapadula. Olsen then shoved Lapadula with his shoulder, Lapadula appeared to headbutt Olsen on the chin and then Olsen pushed Lapadula to the ground before also falling over, clutching his face.
Villa will have gained some confidence from that win over Palace but a couple more will be needed if they are to stay up. After this match, they host Arsenal and then travel to West Ham. Their dream is to be able to go West Ham on the final day of the season with the chance to win and stay in the Premier League.

The six other matches had been authorised by the government, provided they were played behind closed doors, but Serie A, having initially announced on Thursday that they would go ahead without fans, changed its mind on Saturday and postponed them until May 13.

Juventus shockingly lost to Hellas Verona 2-1 as Milan fell to Inter Milan 4-2 after a second half capitulation. The two most successful Italian clubs face off hoping to bounce back and we expect a cracker here. Milan have been a rejuvenated side following the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, while Juventus have continued to reap from Cristiano Ronaldo’s fine goal scoring form.
