Uefa is still hoping to complete its own tournaments in the normal two-legged format. However, there is an understanding that it may not be possible, so one-off games, and a week-long mini-tournament from the quarter-finals onwards for both the Champions League and Europa League, have also been discussed. Tuesday's meeting will be followed on Thursday by a meeting of the Uefa executive committee. That is expected to provide an update on the Womens' European Championship and the Nations League, both of which have been moved to allow Euro 2020 to take place a year later than scheduled, plus plans to relax financial regulations this season.
It was the last time they would celebrate such a success for three decades. No-one, least of all those in Anfield's cramped old press box, would realise how different life would soon be for the newly crowned champions, managed by Kenny Dalglish and boasting iconic figures such as Alan Hansen, Ian Rush and John Barnes. The crowd was a less-than-capacity 37,758. It was a routine occurrence and reporting on this sort of occasion had also become a matter of course for a very young chief football writer covering Everton and Liverpool.
At River, where he starred as a player, Gallardo has an almost god-like status. In his first season in charge in 2014, the softly-spoken 43-year-old led them to the Copa Sudamericana, South America’s equivalent of the Europa League. A year later, he led them to the Libertadores title for the first time in almost two decades.
Whilst the two sides have had differing fortunes so far this season they aren’t too far apart in terms of attacking stats with Newcastle averaging a goal a game and Western Sydney averaging 1.33 goals. Their defensive stats don’t line up quite as well with Newcastle conceding an average of 1.6 goals per games whilst Western Sydney have had a much better defensive output with just 1.11 goals conceded per game. There isn’t much to put between the two sides though and this is a tough game to see either side winning all three points in.
The 45,416 capacity Khalifa International Stadium - the home of Qatar's national team - will now host those matches. The priority is to ensure an enjoyable experience for all fans so it was decided to open the (Education City) stadium at a later date," FIFA said in a statement. Once it is officially opened next year, the Education City Stadium will become the third tournament‐ready venue ahead of the 2022 World Cup hosted by Qatar.
When Albion do lose, it tends to be by the slimmest of margins as evidenced in their narrow reverses against Liverpool (1-2), Sheffield United (0-1), Tottenham (1-2) and Everton (0-1), though their competitive performances in those games won't count for much if Brighton don't beat the drop this year.

Lawro's prediction: 0-2Nathan's prediction: 1-1 Arsenal v Liverpool (20:15 BST)Liverpool had a bit of a hiccup against Burnley on Saturday, which wasn't a massive surprise. I know they can still pass 100 points and beat Manchester City's record, but I don't think the thought of doing that will be driving their players on. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp changed his side a bit against the Clarets, which was good for the youngsters in his squad, but I don't think we will see Liverpool at their very best here either.
Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic says he would rather Serie A was not played next season if it meant more matches being staged without fans in stadiums. The season in Italy resumed last month behind closed doors. But the 51-year-old, who has continued coaching this season despite being treated for leukaemia, said matches had been worse than training sessions. It's not a question of motivation but playing without an audience is a pain," he said.
The visitors have lost only once in the league all season, but they put that record to the test against one of their big rivals. Will this be another victory at home for Sporting, or can the visitors end a three-game winning run at this ground for the Lions?
Asked if agents should be offering their opinions on clubs, Solskjaer said: "No. Neither did he think it would be wise for Pogba to start talking in public himself, believing the best way for United's £89m record signing to deal with criticism is through his performances. Paul is a top player who we have missed this season," he said. He is very committed to coming back and playing well for us but it's hard to talk when you're injured.
Vermeer said it was relatively easy for a club to declare itself bankrupt, start afresh in an amateur league and quickly work its way back up to the top flight. You have cases where the club goes to an amateur league for one season, they win it comfortably, they are promoted to the second division the next year, and then first league again," he said.
It can be said that odds are really excellent on goals in this match from Burundi and I really must try this option. So, Vital'O is interesting team who is in last official duel against this rival played 2-1 and I just hope that today can be similar. So, home team is not played too efficient in last period and but their rival is team who is almost always very efficient. In last six matches, Le Messager Ngozi is played 1-1, 2-1, 0-4, 0-2, 1-1 and 0-2. Yes, after this results, I just hope that rivals will continue similar and this time.
He was buzzing. We've given him a game against Chelsea away to look forward to. With Klopp likely to recall at least some of his senior players for the fifth-round tie against Chelsea, there's every chance Milner will be in action at Stamford Bridge thanks to the efforts of the youngest line-up in Liverpool's history.

Neman Grodno will host Torpedo BelAZ for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very average teams in this league. However, Torpedo BelAZ have great results in this campaign. They are currently on the 2nd place with 18 points. Also, the visitors are in solid shape. They are undefeated in their last 5 matches. In previous game Torpedo is won 3-1 against Gorodeja. Also, we have Neman who's is not very good team in this season. Neman is one of the teams of relegation zone. They are currently on the 14th place with 8 points.

I don't know about more talented, but we certainly had teams that had Champions League winners throughout the squad and a high number of caps. This is a different time for English football. We have a lot of young, exciting players coming through, they are used to working at St George's Park, they are used to coming through the development teams together which has given them a strong bond, and they are very clear on the style of play that we want to play.

I don't think most fans have an issue with that. The problem is a lack of replacements. Brandon Williams has done really well. I would regard him as United's first-choice left-back now. But he is 19 and in his first year of senior football. You cannot expect consistency - United need experienced reinforcements.

Official picture klaxon! 11. We've had some more Tottenham player reaction to the news this morning.

The summer saw defensive reinforcements arrive at Old Trafford, and both Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have proven their worth so far.

What they discovered was that English players’ success rate of 61. However, their conversion rate for penalties during games in World Cups and European Championships (90%) and in European leagues (75%) are above the overall averages of 78. Michel Brinkschulte, Philip Furley and Daniel Memmert, the study authors, conclude that such comparisons do not represent “statistical significance” and that “our results implicate there are no significant differences between the success rates of penalty takers from different nations”.
In the moments before kick-off the black balloons, the signal of protest, were inflated and banners were unfurled reading "Karren Brady - You're Fired", "Sullivan This Charmless Man," "Run Like A Circus Owned By Clowns" and "State Of The Art Retractable Promises". It was a sign of how the relationship and trust has broken down on the fans' part. There were plenty of colourful chants against the owners but suddenly spirits soared by what West Ham's followers saw on the field.
This is their eighth campaign since their last promotion and they have never finished below 13th. Following their controversial move to the 60,000-capacity London Stadium in 2016, Hammers chairman David Sullivan has give Pellegrini - appointed to succeed David Moyes in 2018 - around £165m to build a squad capable of challenging for European qualification. Yet, with the exception of the bottom three, West Ham have the worst goal difference in the Premier League.
It is the question, if home side is able to face their rival on the equal level, and if they are having lineup ready to play at the good performance at the time.

They are going to make issues to a lot of members of the first league, and Sportivo may experience a lot of problem in this game.

Kiki Bertens and Elena Rybakina are the only two seeds left in this tournament.

A key component in their bid for promotion is maintaining a strong home form. The hosts go into the fixture on New Years Day with the best home record in the division having taken an impressive 26 points from their 12 matches on home soil. Given that they have kept a clean sheet in 42% of their home matches, it is easy to see why they are so strong in front of their own fans.

We’re anticipating a tight game with neither side really able to assert much dominance as they look to keep things tight. Malmo should be the slightly more expansive side as they look for a narrow win that would see them move into the next round but we’re not predicting many goals and we are backing the 2.5 goal line to be untouched.
I don't want any players in January," Guardiola said. Although Fernandinho has spent all his career as a midfielder - including more than six years and 250 appearances at City - Guardiola reacted tersely when he was asked why the Brazilian was used in defence more often than Stones and Otamendi, who cost a combined £79. Asked what defensive qualities in particular Fernandinho has, Guardiola said: "Have you watched the games?"Nevertheless, as with Spain midfielder David Silva, Fernandinho's contract will expire in the summer.

It is good opportunity to get points at home stadium with weak team. Odds on this event are so good also and I recommend to try this way with me today !
Not too long ago Preston were sitting in the top two, while they are only nine points shy of Leeds heading into this trip. Can the visitors cut that gap down to just six, or will we see Preston’s away woes hurting them once again?
