Uefa will use sporting merit rather than club coefficient to decide on qualification for next season’s European competitions if domestic leagues cannot finish because of the coronavirus pandemic. During a video conference between all 55 national associations, the Spanish Football Association suggested places being allocated on the basis of club coefficient. This method, used for rankings and seedings in European club competitions, is calculated over the past five years would have benefitted Atletico Madrid, who are currently outside the top four in La Liga, at the expense of Real Sociedad.
In fact, he is yet to win any trophy as a manager. And yet the statistics show that Pochettino reached 100 Premier League wins as Spurs manager in just 169 games - only Jose Mourinho with Chelsea (142) and Sir Alex Ferguson with Manchester United (162) got to that landmark for a single team in fewer games. While such a record suggests he deserves to be rated among the league's finest managers, it is in the big matches that Tottenham have frequently come up short under Pochettino.

Jurgen Klopp's team rushes to the title at full speed, but to hang gold on the neck after a third of the championship - this does not happen. Stable victories over teams from the middle and basement of the table - this is what distinguishes the future champion. But the Crystal Palace team is dangerous. Such can always bite to the blood. Guests should not wait for an easy walk. The game will be held at Selhurst Park Stadium in London, the last meeting between these teams ended in Liverpool's victory at home 4: 3, I think today's home team are very angry at them, they didn’t have one goal to level the score, and the last defeats from Leicester and Chelsea will make them gather and not face the dirt, especially since Liverpool, having completed its task, will be at least slightly relaxed. I look forward to three or four goals from this game, I think 2: 2 will suit everyone.
McGeehan adds: "I can understand why Newcastle fans might not be up to speed with what goes on in Saudi Arabia, but that is the Premier League's duty. BBC Sport has contacted the Saudi wealth fund for a response to Fair/Square's concerns. Will the Saudis pass the test? If that all sounds like a compelling case for failure, it might be worth considering some of those who have passed the owners' and directors' test in recent history.

And now, the 27-year-old is playing her best in years and leading a team enjoying an unbelievable run, quite the incredible story.
A series of racist incidents have tainted European soccer recently with Inter Milan's Romelu Lukaku and Brescia's Mario Balotelli subjected to racist insults from rival fans during Serie A matches in Italy this season. Italian sports daily Corriere dello Sport used the headline 'Black Friday' along with pictures of Lukaku and AS Roma's Chris Smalling to preview a game, while Serie A chief Luigi De Siervo apologised for artwork featuring apes in its anti-racism campaign.
I don't want to see Leroy Sane leave once he returns to full fitness; we need his pace and competition for that position. Manchester UnitedBarney Chilton - Red News fanzine Where do we start with who to bring in? We need two top-quality midfielders and a striker who can fill the void left by Marcus Rashford's injury. The former position should have been well scouted by our new-found 'footballing experts' but we appear to be flailing again, as we finalise a deal for a player the club briefed they had doubts about six months ago.
Long, starting a league match for only the second time this season, nearly grabbed his first goal of the campaign but prodded an effort wide from 12 yards in the second half. Ings was unlucky to not grab his second and Southampton's third when he did well to control Nathan Redmond's pass on his chest and then, under pressure from two City defenders, volleyed just wide.
In all three games I've been to, in parts of games there's been a lack of urgency, a lack of composure, and not enough chances created. It's something we're working on and trying to put right. Management is 'what I want to do'During his time with Manchester United, Rooney won the Premier League five times, as well as the Champions League, the FA Cup and three League Cups. Having spent 13 seasons with Manchester United, he departed Old Trafford in July 2017 to return to childhood club Everton, but moved to America after just one season.
Where Tranmere and Southend have differed of late has been in the final third. While Southend have started to score plenty of goals, Saturday's visitors continue to be a bit laboured in the final third. They have found the net in each of their last four, but they've only score more than once in one of their last eight.
I wanted to beat my brother and do what he does. I loved every sport anyway - I did every sport - but football was the sport my brother loved and I fell in love with it through that. I got a bit of acceptance through football - I was a very shy child but football was the way I made friends throughout my childhood. I've been in that time when I had to pay for the field and to pay to turn up and train twice a week.
Pep Guardiola admitted after his Man City side's 3-0 win over Arsenal on Sunday that his assistant could leave for his former club. If it happens, it will happen. When he wants to talk we are open to talk but it's private, I don't want to make things uncomfortable. Nick Ames, of the Guardian, reports that the Gunners were hoping to give Ljungberg until May before making a permanent appointment but a run of only one win in five under the Swede has forced their hand.
We can't physically be on a football pitch right now, so it will be quite fun to represent my team and play against Sebastiano (Esposito) on PES," 20-year-old Leao said.

The ball boy then gave him the ball back, prompting Cuellar to square up to him before dramatically collapsing after being nudged. Far from eliciting sympathy from referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz, Cuellar was given his marching orders. Having made all three substitutions, defender Jonathan Silva had to put on the keeper’s gloves for the remainder of injury time, but not before Cuellar had caused more trouble by refusing to leave the pitch.
People want to fit a narrative around him so I don't worry so much about that side. I know the reality of what he is and what he gives," Rodgers told reporters. It's unfortunate. We're supposedly in this world where everyone 'cares'. Rubbish - the first thing they do is try to stitch you up. This is a 23-year-old boy who is single, he's been given a week free.
Who can forget Kevin Keegan's famous on-screen rant as his Newcastle side saw their lead slowly chipped away by Manchester United during the second half of the 1995-96 season?Keegan's swashbuckling Magpies team led the table by 12 points at the start of 1996, but finished the campaign four points behind Manchester United in second.
Top-flight Burnley eased into round four with a 4-2 home win over third-tier Peterborough United. Birmingham City beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 in an all-Championship clash. Fourth-tier Newport County went down 3-0 at Millwall but third-tier Shrewsbury Town earned a replay after a 1-1 draw at Championship side Bristol City.
While they may not get a win, we are expecting them to give the Chelsea defence a challenge. Southampton have scored in every away game since the opening weekend of the season in the Premier League, and they’re coming up against a Chelsea defence with just three clean sheets in nine home league games to their name.
Grealish opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a beautiful, curling effort into the top corner -- right in front of the Stretford End -- and continued to be a threat through the game, making it impossible not to notice the contrast with United's unimaginative midfield. In fairness, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is without his best midfielder, injured French midfielder Paul Pogba and he was also lacking the physical presence of Scott McTominay, leaving him with few options.
Whilst Wellington Phoenix have looked impressive in recent weeks, it’s hard to argue with the way Sydney FC have dispatched of several teams with relative ease. We can see the same thing happening this weekend with Sydney FC looking a cut above everyone else and we’re backing the visitors to pick up all three points.
Chelsea are playing with confidence and Pulisic is a big reason for this. The versatile American attacker is positionally intelligent and defenders find him difficult to mark. Back him to find the back of the net again.
After two days of shutdowns and cancellations the sporting cupboard for the next two months looks bare. On Thursday, the big American sports leagues -- NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball -- were all suspended, the ATP men's tennis tour was shut down and golf's Players Championship was abandoned after one round.
Another friendly match between two Swedish clubs. Both of the teams compete in one of the weakest divisions of Swedish football. Oskarshamns AIK are on one level above than the guests Linneryd. They are rightfully so big favorites to win, however this is not competitive match so anything is possible. For that reason instead of betting on winner, I decided to try with total goals. I expect both teams to score, so I will try with over 2.5 goals. The odds are far from good but I think there is big chance for this bet to be accomplished. Good luck.
Things could be tricky for the hosts, who returned to the top four following their weekend victory. Will the Robins make it three wins on the spin here, or will they be the latest to fall to Millwall?
So not only he is in a position of extreme control over Prince Abdullah, but we know for a well-documented fact that he has used his power ruthlessly to effectively shake down other princes, irrespective of his family ties to them," McGeehan says. Saudi royal arrests: Why top princes have been silenced"Given the relationship between the two, you could imagine a situation where other clubs, whose fortune or fate might depend on the outcome of a match between Sheffield United and Newcastle United, would have sound concern.
Defensively, Burnley aren’t the same side they were a couple of years back. They have conceded 1.61 goals per game this season and have kept just two clean sheets in their nine Premier League away days. These came against Bournemouth and Watford, two teams that are really struggling for goalscoring form at the moment.
BARCELONA, March 7 (Reuters) - Lionel Messi kept his nerve from the penalty spot to give Barcelona a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad in La Liga on Saturday and return his side to the top of the table. Barca's all-time top scorer calmly chipped the ball into the net in the 81st minute after Sociedad defender Robin Le Normand was penalised following a VAR review for hitting the ball with his arm as he contested a cross.
Luton won promotion last season but have struggled to cope with the Championship. They are nine points from safety, all but ten because of their appalling goal difference. The weekend saw them lose 1-0 at home to Cardiff City conceding the winner with 13 minutes remaining. That was their second straight loss and both without scoring.
Inter – Atletico Madrid: kick-off time, how to watch, Live 1 day ago — On Tuesday, February 20th, the matches of the round of 16 of the premier European club tournament, the Champions League, will continue.
Somehow, there was a happy ending to Luiz’s nightmare, with Granit Xhaka looking infinitely better as a makeshift centre-back. Mustafi especially owes his team-mates a huge hug. MAN OF THE MATCH Hector Bellerin. On his first start in almost two months, the Arsenal skipper worked his socks off for the cause, winning possession more than any team-mate at Stamford Bridge, before then popping up with the most dramatic of winners, with his weaker foot.
If Aston Villa can sort out their backline, they should be able to secure their place in the Premier League next season. Until we see clear signs of improvement, we can't take a chance on Villa not conceding. With Danny Ings in the form that he's in, it's likely that he will get on the scoresheet. Either way, we see Southampton winning and both teams scoring.
The Barcelona captain posted a screenshot of a story that claimed the 32-year-old was considering a move away from the Camp Nou, with fake news superimposed over it. Exclusive: Coman on the future, Pep's impact and a race with Alphonso Davies Barcelona in crisis as six directors quit Tottenham to rival Chelsea for Coutinho - Paper Round Messi said that the report by Argentine TV station TNT Sports that claimed he was considering a move to Inter Milan was not true.
Going to this game, Inter have so far secured 72 points and are in second place while Fiorentina, on 42 points, are placed 12th. Inter missed a big chance to close in on Juventus in their last game as they drew 2-2 with AS Roma. They needed a late penalty goal from Romelu Lukaku to secure the point after letting go of the lead and they will take vital lessons from that.
