Posted at 64' Foul by Nemanja Matic (Manchester United). Callum Hudson-Odoi scored his first Premier League goal as Chelsea returned to winning ways at Stamford Bridge with a comfortable victory over struggling Burnley. The England winger showed a nice bit of opportunism, stealing in to the box to finish off Cesar Azpilicueta's chipped ball, to net his side's third and seal the win shortly after half-time.
However, merely being competitive is not something that Crewe fans have come to expect this season as the Alex have been strong throughout the campaign and are credible contenders to be playing their football in League 1 by the time the next campaign comes along. The hosts are in excellent form at home and have scored 13 times in their last four home league games. However, with the side also conceding in 77% of their home matches, they know that there is plenty of work to be done if their good start can be manufactured into something greater.
Forest haven’t lost a league game since last year … okay, okay, that’s only a month. But still. West Brom have taken four points from their last seven league games; Forest, by contrast, have taken 19. That’s loads more. You can always rely on the Championship. IN OTHER NEWS We’re happy to assume that both Ashley Young and Antonio Conte have very strong opinions on Marmite.
Media playback is not supported on this device What is West Ham's Antonio doing while in isolation? Football's powerbrokers are continuing to talk but - for now - they can only wait to see whether there is any change in the situation, a chink of light that would allow, almost certainly behind closed doors, the game to slowly click back into gear and the desire to end the season to be met. The players are also in limbo.
He is the first player to score 10 away goals in the Premier League this season - and the first Saints player to reach that tally since club legend Matt le Tissier in 1993-94. They had a brief scare after Bednarek's own goal but Ward-Prowse's perfect free-kick, which left Foster with no chance, killed the game off.

Everton striker Cenk Tosun is close to joining Crystal Palace on loan, with talks at an advanced stage. Tosun, 28, wants regular first-team football and it is clear he does not figure in new manager Carlo Ancelotti's plans. The Turkey forward has made minimal impact at Goodison Park since he was signed by Sam Allardyce in a £27m deal from Besiktas in January 2018. Palace boss Roy Hodgson has previously registered his interest in Tosun.

The Belgian, who was told by Inter coach Antonio Conte that there was no place for him this season, drove in a low shot from outside the area which took a deflection off a defender to stun the San Siro in the 78th minute. Lautaro Martinez had headed Inter in front in the 29th minute from a cross by debutant Ashley Young, amid furious protests from Cagliari who said the Argentine forward had pushed his marker.
The derby between the two best teams from Belarus and currently these two sit first and second on the table. I will give preference to Bate as they have somehow shown more so far. They play quite well and there is no team that has similar strength to them. The Shakhtyor play solidly, they are very strong. Shakhtyor hasn't conceded an away goal yet and I think it's time for them to concede. BATE is the small favorite in this match, but the guests from Soligorsk has not conceded in last 6 games in a row. BATE hardly lose at home and the same but Soligorsk is maybe a little better team at the moment and that is why draw seems realistic to me.

But if the transfers go through, Wilder believes his squad will be "as strong as it has been for a long time in this club's history". Wilder also said striker Billy Sharp would not be leaving the club, but was surprised that he had no offers for forward Leon Clarke.

There have also been matches behind closed doors in the Champions League and Europa League. But the system has been rejected in Italy, Europe's worst-affected country. Having initially approved Serie A matches with empty stadiums a week ago, the government back-tracked on Monday and banned matches until April 3 as the coronavirus continued to spread and an unprecedented nationwide lockdown was imposed.
It's fascinating and mesmerising to be a Sheffield United fan right now - and it must be for many in football from the outside looking in too. We are seventh in the Premier League and I'm not sure what to do with that. I have never known success as a football fan - Sheffield United or England. I hate to say it but I'm almost waiting for something to go wrong. I spoke to the communications officer at United the other day and we were laughing at how manager Chris Wilder had to do nine post-match interviews.
Arjen Robben was inspired to launch a comeback with Groningen after they showed him a montage of basketball great Michael Jordan's career. Groningen officials met with Robben just days after he retired in May 2019. While that initial approach failed to convince 36-year-old Robben, talks were revived last month.

Wednesday finished in the top seven three times in the first five seasons of the Premier League between 1992 and 1997. Those days with Chris Waddle and David Hirst in the team are like a distant memory," says Hawley. But occasionally I have the great pleasure of going for a pint with David. He is somebody who is a pal, and a hero. Hawley, a former guitarist in Pulp and Longpigs, hails from the Steel City and is enjoying seeing the Owls flying up the Championship as they look to return to the top flight for the first time since 2000.

We don't want to be in the focal point of the coronavirus outbreak, we don't need that. We have also asked the (Spanish) federation to demand the suspension.

James finds Martial just inside it on the right, and he slightly scuffs a low shot into the net off Ederson's near post 38’ WHAT A CHANCE! Sterling leaves Wan-Bissaka down the right. His cross is cleared by Shaw, but City work it to De Bruyne, who whips a perfect cross in to Jesus. He's only six yards out, but the Brazilian forward glances it wide of goal.
English Premier League. Team Leicester will play at home with team West Ham. Hosts did 2 defeats at last 2 matches played. There they scored 4 goals. But I think that their shape is bad. Guests got only one point at last 2 matches played. Their shape is bad also. Both clubs are playing very good in offensive way. I predict here total over 2.5 goals .Last 2 meetings between them were ended with 3 or more goals. I think that West Ham will try to take a revenge for 1 -2 at last home match. I recommend to try this bet with me !

The team news is released on matchday and one of your club's former players is in the opposition's starting XI. It's almost written in the stars that they are going to score. Real Madrid learnt the hard way on Thursday when they were dumped out of the Copa del Rey in a shock defeat by Real Sociedad. Their Norwegian midfielder Martin Odegaard, who is on a two-year loan with Sociedad, opened the scoring against his parent club in the 4-3 defeat.
Canary Islander Angel Rodriguez joined after being instantly dismissed by Zaragoza for saying publicly that he wanted his club to lose against Tenerife, his hometown team. Barcelona, if the Spanish federation allows them to, are seriously considering signing him as a replacement for the injured Luis Suarez. This season, those three players have scored 22 of Getafe's 35 goals - making them the third best scoring trident in La Liga - and not one of them cost a thing.
However, the club would have to foot his massive wage bill and would eventually have to pay a huge fee if they were looking to sign him permanently, so it all depends on whether or not it is an affordable deal for the Toffees.

I don't see any problems for guests in this match from Serbian Cup and I believe that they will very very easy win this match, that is pretty clear, for all who are following this teams. Red Star Belgrade is few days ago won new title in this country, and team will try to play in Champions league, third time in a row, what could be fantastic. Indjija is lost in last round in league, against Spartak Subotica at home 1-2 and they will not have any chances in this match, I'm sure in that. I will try this here.
Elite football in England is suspended until at least 3 April, with the game halted indefinitely in Scotland, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Portugal and the United States.

Avai lost to second bottom Chapecoense last time out and the ill feeling around the club was clearly displayed in said match, with midfielder Matheus Barbosa sent off for showing his middle finger to his own team's fans. Having secured just 2 points from their last 13 matches, spirits couldn't be any lower in visiting ranks and it's fair to say it looks like being a long evening for them in Sao Paulo.
But before United, Mourinho was a manager who could always organise a defence well, and he has far better defenders to do so now that he has switched clubs. Read the full story Derby fail to pay players’ wages Wayne Rooney made his debut for Derby County on Wednesday night but the appearance for the Championship side was starkly overshadowed by the club’s failure to pay its players’ wages.
The main issue for The Roar this season has been scoring goals with the side averaging just 1.16 goals per games so far. This return will need to improve quickly if they hope to make the finals series, especially as their defensive output has got worse as the season has gone on with six goals conceded in their first five games but conceding 11 goals in their last five.
