West Ham are scheduled to play Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday.
Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong features in what is a very attacking line-up, with Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne also selected. The usual suspects Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo feature, with Mane and Robert Lewandowski completing the XI, ousting the likes of Neymar, Mbappe and Hazard in the process.
On Thursday, Chancellor Angela Merkel said that any decision on if and when sports activities could resume would now be taken on Wednesday, 6 May. The league has been suspended since mid-March because of the global coronavirus pandemic. It is absolutely necessary that we remain disciplined and stick to health guidelines," said Merkel. The DFL has warned that many top-division teams will be in an "existence-threatening" financial position if play does not resume by June.
Gazza scored his sixth goal of Spurs' FA Cup run in the semi-final at Wembley, an unstoppable drive past David Seaman from an improbable distance.

Accrington have steadied themselves of late, that's for sure, but their lack of away goals is a problem, especially as they're going up against a side that has generally been prolific at home. Stanley have scored just three goals in their last six travelling matches, three of which they've lost, and while they have improved defensively a touch, they've still conceded nine during that time. Such numbers don't bode well ahead of a game against a Blackpool side that has scored ten in five at Bloomfield Road. Given their extra attacking quality, Grayson's men, who've won three of their last four at home, look a bet at the current prices.
The Austrian outfit have been somewhat of a surprise so far this season, currently sitting second in the group ahead of PSV and only two points behind Sporting. The key to their success has been a solid defence, with just three goals conceded so far and this along with a 4-1 win over PSV last time out, have given them the advantage over their Dutch rivals.
He's quite happy to milk Newcastle United for every penny he can and to build his sports brands globally. The only thing that will push him out is a ridiculous offer. Are some fans conflicted?The Saudi bid, which has been led by financier Amanda Staveley and includes the billionaire Reuben brothers, is not short of money. Yet not all Newcastle fans believe the takeover should come at any cost. Norman Riley of the True Faith fanzine says some fans will feel "conflicted" by talk of a Saudi-financed takeover whatever the issues with Ashley.
Should they go the league campaign unbeaten, matching Arsenal’s Premier League-winning Invincibles side from 2003-04 in the process, then it would take Liverpool to 55 league matches unbeaten.

GOAL! 1-1. Drilled home by Lukaku from 25 yards, a slight deflection off Umtiti which may have diverted the ball away from Neto. Superb play from Martinez in the build up, turning Umtiti and holding him off the ball before laying it to his strike partner. Martinez plays a lovely ball through to Lukaku down the inside right channel, Neto came out quickly and the big Belgian pushed the ball past him but out of play.

We’re confident that both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be produced in Friday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. Not much separates these two teams with each sat in mid-table at the halfway point in the campaign but recent encounters between the pair and the performances of both teams at the end of 2-19 suggest that we will see both teams score and over 2.5 goals in Friday’s match.
Mallorca should probably be commended for managing to score twice as they could easily have suffered a real hiding, but there's little to recommend Los Bermellones this weekend based on their travelling problems and the fact they have now lost four of their last five La Liga games.

Jamshedpur will host North East United for this fixture of the league. Perhaps, the hosts have better chance on the home ground. Jamshedpur is one of the ambitious team in this campaign. However, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. In any case, they will have to invest a great effort in this game. Also, I expect, the visitors wil ltry to provide a strong resistance. North East Utd are undefeated in their last 5 matches. I think, the visitors have the motivation to stay in the race for higher range. They will try to make a positive result. My pick - NorthEast United to win.
They don't come saltier than this. Barcelona had a stinky season that year and finished 18 points off the top. To really rub their noses in it, they were rolled over 4-1 at the Bernabeu on the day. One to forget for the Catalan lads. Oh - and, just as an extra spicy side to that story - when the tables were turned in 2018, Real refused to repay the favour. That's gratitude hey. There you go - happens to the best of us.
Now Pogba’s problem is Manchester (United),” Raiola told the Italian newspaper, La Repubblica. It is a club out of touch with reality, without a sports project. I would no longer take anyone there. They would even ruin (Diego) Maradona, Pele and (Paolo) Maldini. Paul needs a club and a squad, one like Juventus was before.

All Premiership clubs are aware, and will have had the full document presented to them by Rangers by Tuesday. Furthermore, the Scottish Football Association and SPFL have both been briefed, and other lower-league outfits have been sounded out. There is also thought to be broad support for the strategic partnerships - an idea initially suggested by Stenhousemuir chairman Iain McMenemy. Were the plan to go to a vote, it would need 32 of the 42 clubs to support it.
Winners: 12 pointsRunners-up: 6 pointsBeaten semi-finalist: 3 pointsShould a Champions League win be on a par with a European Cup success? Many would argue that the European Cup was much easier to win than the Champions League, and they would probably be right. Liverpool, for example, played only seven games to win the European Cup in 1978 - they played 13 matches to win the Champions League in 2019.
Football match from the lower division in Wales. In this match I would try with a win for the host team. Not so much info regarding both teams but from the record they have its clear to see that Ammanford has best chance to win. The team has lost its last 3 home matches and anything short of a win here would be very bad especially since they are playing against the weakest away side in the league.
Chelsea are going well and picked up another three points against Aston Villa but, now they have made the change, I just fancy Everton to get something from this one. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Andy's prediction: 1-2 Bournemouth v LiverpoolIn contrast to Everton, whatever Liverpool do at the moment just keeps on working out for them. I was at Anfield for the Merseyside derby and my thoughts when I saw Jurgen Klopp's much-changed side to face Everton can be summed up in one word - 'gamble'.
As captain, not only did Gardner lead Scotland on the pitch, but also off it. At a time when managers were largely non-existent, he was tasked with selecting the team to face England. He would pick a starting line-up consisting of only Queen's Park players who would take to the pitch in navy blue, the same colour the Glasgow club sported at that time. And it is for that reason Scotland wear the same colours to this day.
My opinion on it is I've always thought we should have included Scotland. Call it the British Cup. A couple of teams from Northern Ireland, maybe two of the Welsh League clubs. That would give us something different. The League Cup has been played in England since 1960, with Manchester City crowned this season's champions by beating Aston Villa on Sunday in front of 82,145 at Wembley. However, teams have often played under-strength sides in the competition in recent years and Ceferin said it should be scrapped to lighten the workload load of top players.
It's much better than when it happened. At the time I was fearful of the worst obviously, but I got in and was able to walk again, move about," Abraham told Chelsea TV. I'm thankful, hopefully it's not too long. I'll have a scan to see what the news is but hopefully it's just a bruise. It was a knee near my hip area, hopefully it's nothing too serious.
Wilder apologised for the move. I was going to play a strong team in the FA Cup but looking what Christmas has taken out of my players I will, I apologise, make 11 changes and give some other lads a chance," he said. I want to win every game and there will be full expectancy on the players who go out. Sunday's cup tie will be Sheffield United's fifth match in 16 days. They play their next Premier League match five days later on 10 January.
He has an option to leave after the Tokyo Olympics concludes in August. Honda did not say whether he plans to play in the Games as one of the team's over-aged players. Honda is not expected to make his Botafogo debut until the end of February. Fans hope he can help Botafogo win the Rio state championship that kicked off last month and also halt the march of Rio rivals Flamengo, who dominated Brazilian football last year, winning the Serie A and the Copa Libertadores.
Last season I had the feeling they'd fight for the top four and it's happened, they're a fantastic team," the Spaniard said. They sold (Harry) Maguire, but the rest of the team is the same, a lot of quality in the middle, counter attacks, control in all departments. Manchester City's hopes of winning the league for a third season in a row are hanging by a thread with the team 14 points behind leaders Liverpool, but they are still alive in the Champions League and England's two domestic cup competitions.
Morocco are unbeaten in 16 matches in this competition. Morocco have scored 13 goals in five matches at this tournament. Mali have scored just three goals at this tournament. Mali are unbeaten in nine matches in this competition. Mali are going for their first African Nations Championships (CHAN) title against Morocco, who are looking to win a second straight title.
The future of football. And Kylian Mbappe. In London, Arsenal and Fulham fans have designed these reimagined pieces, featuring German centre-back Shkodran Mustafi and Fulham left-back Maxime le Marchand. Haters will say these have been editedThere have been even more niche creations too, including former Wales and Celtic striker John Hartson, or Jamie Maclaren of. Melbourne City. NicheWeirder still, someone has put YouTuber KSI on a Fifa cover - and another projected what next year's game cover may end up looking like, with a picture of Vegas-era Neymar.
Things could look much worse for Villarreal over the Christmas period though, as they face a tough home fixture against 5th placed Getafe on Matchday 18 and they head to Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan this Sunday having lost six of their eight league matches on the road this season.
Rangers still have a game in hand over Celtic, but their destiny is no longer in their own hands as they attempt to stop their city rivals winning a record-equalling ninth consecutive title. Gerrard questions Rangers' mentalityReaction & as it happenedKilmarnock rouse Clarke spirit as title slips awayRangers have not been firing since the winter break and the early evidence at Rugby Park was it would be more of the same as the visitors were ponderous in attack and looked short of ideas.
I see good reasons for taking a high over bet in this one and I say this because I watched Sonderjyske in this winter break play a friendly game against strong Shakhtar Donetsk and despite the big name of their opponent their scoring skills were excellent scoring two goals and getting themselves a 2-2 draw in the end, but in the league in the first part of the season they ended up losing with no less than 4-1 at home against same Nordsjaelland side who also won last season at home with same score 4-1 against Sonderjyske.
After suffering the disappointment of relegation in 2018, Tanta ensured their stay in the second tier wasn't an extended one, powering to promotion last season. Coming into this campaign penned in for another relegation by most, the side are merely looking to avoid the drop and thus far have made a decent start towards said aim.
What is a bad idea is making decisions now that may feel wrong three or four weeks down the line depending on where the pandemic goes from here. If we are fortunate, then in the next three or four weeks, the health service will be in a much better position and we will have more information about the situation, having worked through it. There are a variety of possibilities about what happens to the Premier League season but they are all completely and utterly dependent on timescale - if and when restrictions are lifted, and to what level.
Torino have 11 losses in their last 17 league matches. Roma have five wins in the last six matches. Torino have conceded 64 goals in 36 league matches. Roma have kept one clean sheet in their last nine away matches. Roma have scored two or more in their last six matches. Torino have managed to escape relegation after a tough season in the Italian Serie A and will be hoping for a strong showing at home when they face AS Roma on Wednesday.
To be ahead of City at this stage of the season shows how well we've done. We were better second half and for us it's about that continual growth as a squad. Build a statue!' - what you made of De Bruyne's masterclassBad Energy: What a player De Bruyne is, sometimes I think we don't deserve him. Emma: Imagine thinking De Bruyne isn't the best midfielder in the Premier League!Miguel: I think one of De Bruyne's most underrated attributes is his ability to accelerate and glide past players like they're not even there.
Everton are very hot after Coach Ferguson took over, they beat FC Chelsea at home 3-1 goals from Richardson 5th Minutes, Calvert-Lewin 49 and 84 Minutes, the only goal from FC Chelsea came from Kovacic. I think they will go into this game against Manchester United with another hot blood that will witness another goals feast.
There were some Saints fans who questioned the wisdom of committing £20m to a player with Ings' injury record, something that was not entirely dispelled by an encouraging but inconsistent first season, that saw him score seven times but also miss a number of games with minor niggles. Such is his rejuvenation this campaign, supporters now balk at suggestions the striker may leave for anything less than twice the price, with Tottenham the latest club linked with a January move.
Atleti are always capable of getting a result with so much quality running through their squad, and it's certainly hard to back against them this weekend considering they have only lost to Barcelona (0-1) in their last 13 La Liga matches.
Speculation over a possible link between coronavirus cases in Liverpool and the club's Champions League match with Atletico Madrid last month is an "interesting hypothesis", a scientific adviser to the UK government has said. Some coronavirus deaths in Liverpool have been blamed on the 11 March match at Anfield, which was attended by more than 52,000 people, including 3,000 from Madrid, where a partial lockdown was already in force.

Sporting, who have won the Portuguese title 18 times, are fourth in the standings after 23 games, trailing leaders Porto by 20 points. Amorim, a former Portugal international who spent the bulk of his career at Sporting's city rivals Benfica, won 10 out of 13 games in all competitions after taking charge of Braga last December, also lifting the league Cup.
Chievo and Spezia are both in the Top 8, meaning that the group can participate in the promotion play-off round. However, the ambition of both is bigger: to win tickets directly to Serie A (for Top 2). Currently Spezia is 3 points behind Crotone by 2 points and Chievo is less than 8 points.
He does not want to hear any offer from anyone at the moment and wants to stay at Real Madrid until the last day of his contract. If he was to move it would only be on the condition that he would be earning more than he is currently earning at Real Madrid, because otherwise what would be the point of moving? And he knows nobody will offer that. If you want to know where to find the real passion that Bale has for the game then you will see it when he is playing with his mates for Wales, which kind of flies in the face of the theory that he doesn't care and is only interested in the money.
Is there a coded message in there though? Louis Armstrong? Strong-arm? Like how he strong-armed Mohamed Salah in the 2018 Champions League final.

You take Withe and I'll take Woodcock," I said to Alex McLeish. It was as simple as that. The fact they had a tall striker and a more nimble striker suited us. But they changed it at half-time - Woodcock went off and Trevor Francis came on. I remember Jock Stein sent on the physio to give me some information. You need to watch Trevor Francis, he's really quick," he said. I already knew that! I knew I had to play a bit deeper, but I handled both of them and Big Alex took care of Withe particularly well.
