Ashley willing to structure payments. The reduction would reflect the impact of the new coronavirus pandemic that has halted most soccer worldwide. Newcastle are one of three Premier League clubs to have furloughed staff. The north-east club has been on the market for several years and talks with Staveley's PCP have been going on behind the scenes for some time.
Watford were never expected to take anything from this game but if they are to climb the table and get out of the relegation zone, they need to find their goal-scoring boots. It was not the prettiest game' - what the managers saidLiverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaking to BT Sport: "It was not the prettiest game but I am more than happy with that. At this stage you have to show resilience and I believe we did that today.
Chelsea further strengthened their position in the Premier League's top four with victory over Crystal Palace in an entertaining encounter at Selhurst Park, that included a stunning long-range strike from Wilfried Zaha and a rare goal from Christian Benteke. There was an element of fortune about the game's opening goal, with Palace defender Gary Cahill pulling up with a match-ending injury to allow Willian to charge into the box unimpeded and set up Olivier Giroud to finish.
They are down to second in the table and host ninth placed Gorodeja who are three points behind them. The home side had won each of their first three league games before going down 2-0 at Zhodino, who took over as league leaders. Back on home soil, they will look to get back in winning ways. So far, this season they have won both their home league fixtures beating BATE Borisov and FC Minsk, scoring five times and conceding just once.
United needed the instant response after Leicester's win earlier on Thursday and there is real efficiency as well as a rapier thrust to Solskjaer's side that has taken them on this long unbeaten run. It leaves them in contention for that top-four place, as well as the Europa League, and they also have an FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley this weekend. Most mouth-watering of all, they face a potentially decisive visit to Leicester on the final day of the season.
I absolutely do think that it could be picked up over there [the UK]. Not only in England but in a lot of leagues over there. That's something I'm very hopeful for in the future. The group aims to "address racial inequalities in MLS, fight racism in soccer, elevate black voices and positively impact black communities across the USA and Canada". We look around Major League Soccer and we don't see much black representation at the high levels," Morrow added.
Here's my team of the week - have a read and then select your own below. Goalkeeper - Aaron Ramsdale (Bournemouth) Aaron Ramsdale: The save by Aaron Ramsdale from Chelsea's Mason Mount in the first half was the first indicator that the Bournemouth keeper was on top of his game. However it was the point-blank save from Emerson's header that was not only a turning point in this rather fraught affair, but the match winner.
With finishes like that from the middle of the six-yard box, you can see why. Crunch time for CountyIt must be infuriating being a Ross County fan. Victory over Livingston followed by a heavy defeat to Hibernian. A morale-boosting win at Pittodrie before a confidence-crushing hammering at Motherwell. Against Rangers, we saw both versions. For 45 minutes they offered little. Thankfully for them, neither did Rangers.
They are a really well organised, well oiled machine who are amazing at squeezing results. They are in a transition period, that's normal, but they are fighting with all they have. It's really difficult. They're a results machine. They have speed, aggression and a clear philosophy. I know we are in the country of tiki-taka, but I admire things like that. For me, it's all fine. If there's one team where you have to be at your absolute best, it's against Atletico.

With 19 wins and a draw they are averaging 2. Europe's top five leagues. Even with a couple of defeats or a few draws they would still would top City's 2018 total. Since losing to Manchester City exactly a year ago, Liverpool are unbeaten in the Premier League, taking 101 points from 37 games during that period.
The reigning champions are second in the table and need results to go their way if they are to have any chance of overturning the four-point deficit between themselves and leaders Real Madrid. Valladolid, 13th in the table, seem destined to finish in a peaceful limbo; Europe is completely out of reach but, more importantly, relegation is almost certainly avoided.
Home team did record three victories in the previous league year. However, one of those, were against today rival, and that helped them to avoid bottom place in the competition. They are facing the same rival, at the begin of the new season, and are underdog side again.
Still, they won’t be proud of their form going to this game; they have not won any of the last six matches. Their last five matches have produced three losses and two draws. Charlton have managed just two wins in 12 matches but they have been good in attack – they have scored in nine of the last 10 matches.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says finally being able to lift the Premier League trophy will be "like Christmas". The Reds will be presented with the long-awaited silverware following their league match with Chelsea at Anfield on Wednesday. It's been a really long run-up to this. We have been champions for a month now," said Klopp. It's a bit like Christmas - you know you're getting a specific present but you are still excited.

At last! The main “Mr. Draw” of the season won the first victory under the leadership of Mikel Arteta. “Arsenal” in the last round in the match against “Newcastle” pleased with good performance. Nikolai Pepe opened in a new way, but Aubameyang and Lacazette never need a lot of time to mark effective actions. “Everton” also seems to have begun to experience a “second youth”. Carlo Ancelotti came and showed how to play in defense, and thanks to this the team is already in ninth place. Until recently, it seemed that both teams can be reset with a score this season.
Fulham boss Scott Parker told BBC Radio London:"It's a tough place to come, we knew the challenge ahead of us today was a big one and it was a perfect away performance. I thought we grew into the game, we had our moments in the first half without putting our mark or control on it. In the second half] I felt we needed a bit more control in the way we played. We turned the game into what the occasion was and Blackburn make you do that.

Bale's relationship with Real gained further headlines in the last few days when he was photographed in the stands pretending to be asleep for a few seconds during his team-mate's game against Alaves and looking to the distance through a rolled-up piece of paper against Granada. Bale was pictured entertaining himself in the stands while real Madrid played Granada on Monday, three days after pretending to be asleep against AlavesTo try to understand what is going on with Bale's tense and tortuous spell at the club, we need to take a brief look at how we actually got to this point.
Actually, ‘a starring role’ rather undersells the scale of the feat Miedema achieved, as the Dutch star scored SIX and assisted FOUR more in one of the most astonishing individual performances seen in football. Just look at the pass here: Zero: This guy COMING UP The Ballon d’Or is awarded tonight and there are rumours that Lionel Messi might have edged it ahead of Virgil van Dijk, who has had an objectively better 2019 but, well, isn’t the greatest player of all time.
Another very interesting friendly match for today and this one will be play in Northern Balkans, or in Slovenia. Nafta and Beltinci are two small teams who are not so good in quality and they are have in last few seasons main goal and that is goal to play in elite league in this country, what will not be easy to do. Nafta is few years ago played in elite one season but this one, they are again, like today's rival, also in second division. I see here very relaxing match, with plenty of chances and goals, that is real.
They made the worst possible start, however, as Bournemouth capitalised on the Reds' early nerves to take a shock lead - albeit in controversial fashion. Wilson finished off a neat move involving Lerma and Philip Billing, but Liverpool felt the goal should have been disallowed for the striker's push on Gomez. The video assistant referee saw no infringement and the goal was given. Things could have got worse for the home side when Nathan Ake's powerful header was unconvincingly shovelled on to the top of the crossbar by stand-in goalkeeper Adrian, but Liverpool continued to create chances and deservedly restored parity through Salah's low finish - his 70th league goal for the club.
The best of those opportunities saw Foxes keeper Kasper Schmeichel deny Sergio Aguero from the spot on the hour mark as Manchester City's penalty problems continued. Pep Guardiola's side have now missed five of their seven Premier League spot-kicks this season, but Leicester will argue they should have been given two of their own before the break. Nothing was given when Kevin de Bruyne had his arms up in the wall and James Maddison's free-kick clearly hit them, and even more mystifying was the decision to give Leicester a corner when Ederson took out Kelechi Iheanacho.
Norwich are in deep trouble and need to start getting some wins sooner rather than later. They keep taking the lead but seem incapable of going on to win the match. Home form is poor too with just two points earned from their last seven played at Carrow Road. Crystal Palace are ninth in the table but not the most consistent of sides or high scorers. A bet on under 2.5 goals is the suggested bet for this match.
Paper Round’s view: Whether Guardiola leaves is unclear, given City and his agent brother Per own a football club together. The chances of an appeal reducing the ban to just one season without Champions League football may turn the whole punishment into a damp squib. So maybe the anticipated exodus won't quite happen.
Posted at 43' Foul by Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool). Vinicius Junior and Sergio Ramos both scored delightful goals as Real Madrid returned to the top of La Liga by easing past Mallorca. Zinedine Zidane's side are level on 68 points with Barcelona but lead by virtue of a better head-to-head record. Brazilian Vinicius chipped in a first-half opener and Ramos curled home a brilliant free-kick in the second half.
Business analysts Vysyble estimate Premier League clubs will lose £878m if matches have to be played behind closed doors until the end of the 2020-21 season. The bigger clubs suffer the heaviest losses, with Manchester United set to lose £140m and Arsenal £122m. Bournemouth's income would reduce by £6. This may be viewed by some as a positive in levelling a playing field tilted heavily towards the bigger clubs.
Luton managed to give themselves a boost in the relegation battle with their 2-1 home victory over Wigan at the weekend. That victory has pushed them four points clear of the drop zone, but their problems are far from over.
Den Haag ended 2019 with a dire 6-1 defeat away at Ajax but will be hoping to start the new year much more positively after securing two friendly wins during the winter break, while RKC beat Twente 3-0 last time out but need to improve their consistency in 2020 if they are to avoid the drop.
