They're 18th in the table and on course to be relegated, currently trailing Watford by a single point. Bournemouth in 19th are only behind Villa on goal difference, so could capitalise on any potential slip by the visitors. That's if you call defeat at Anfield a slip and most people wouldn't. Liverpool have won all 16 of their Premier League matches at Anfield, scoring the most goals of any home team in the process.
That could see a delay to the start of the African World Cup qualifiers that were due to start in October. The Nations Cup qualifiers would have involved 48 countries, with many players travelling from the major European leagues in Italy, France, England, Germany and Spain, where the coronavirus has disrupted domestic fixtures.
West Ham defender Ryan Fredericks will be out for six weeks after undergoing surgery on his shoulder on Wednesday. Fredericks, 27, damaged ligaments in his right shoulder in West Ham's 2-0 defeat by Manchester City last week. West Ham's head of medical Richard Collinge said the surgery had gone "exactly as planned" and Fredericks would return "in early to mid-April". It comes a day after January loan signing Tomas Soucek was ruled out for three weeks with a hip injury.
I met Max very early after I got the job and to have seen his journey back to full fitness and the way he's conducted himself, it's something he'll always have with him," Solskjaer said. He's been through something no one should have to go through but he's come through the other end. He's an inspiration to others.
Ross County vs Hibernian predictions for Wednesday’s Scottish Premiership fixture at Victoria Park. The hosts go in search of a much-needed win. Read on for our free Scottish Premiership predictions and betting tips.
Lacazette whipped the ball into the middle, Gaetano Berardi got a foot in, which diverted the ball to Nelson, who scuffed the ball into the bottom corner. Leeds did not look the same attacking force thereafter, as Arsenal held on with relative ease to book a fourth round trip to the Vitality Stadium.
When we consider the recent attacking performances of Stuttgart at this venue, then it's easy to feel that they'll have far too much in the locker for a visiting team that has struggled at the back. Not only have Stuttgart made a habit of winning home games, but they've scored at least twice in six out eight. Combine this with Nurnberg's defensive record and the fact that they've claimed an average of just 1.14 points on the road compared to Stuttgart's average of 2.25 at home and backing the hosts to do the business appeals.
Wolves have lost five of their six closing-day matches in the Premier League, winning the other against Sunderland in 2009-10. After just five wins at Stamford Bridge in their opening 13 Premier League games this season (D3 L5), Chelsea have ended the season with six successive home victories. Wolves have lost their first Premier League game in London since March 2012 (5-0 v Fulham), with Chelsea ending their 10-game unbeaten run in the capital.
The Eagles won the corresponding league fixture between the teams 3-2 at the Etihad last season in a coupon busting triumph, though the chances of the Eagles' replicating their shock victory feel decidedly slim this time around.
Going blow for blow with a team like Zamalek will still be a big ask for the hosts but confidence will be unquestionably high coming into the match. Indeed, El Entag El Harby are now unbeaten in 5 matches across all competitions and having won their last two outings, they have plenty of momentum behind them.
Assisted by Marcus Tavernier with a cross following a corner. Sean Welsh's second-half free-kick was enough to squeeze Inverness Caledonian Thistle into the last eight of the Scottish Cup at Livingston's expense. The Premiership team lost at Ross County in midweek and did not threaten their second-tier hosts sufficiently on their return to the Highlands. The hosts' Miles Storey had a shot cleared off the line and Lyndon Dykes' volley was Livi's best late effort.
They’re not," he added in an interview with The Times. There is no question that many footballers do help out good causes generously, just as most clubs are engaged with effective community programmes all-year round. It is telling that one of the game's most highly-rated stars of the future, Jude Bellingham, a Birmingham City midfielder who is strongly linked with a transfer to Manchester United, is prominently involved in charity work to help a school in Kenya despite being only 16.
Toulouse have been conceding for fun in recent weeks but with Marseille only scoring three goals in one game this season, we're backing it to end 2-1 to the away side. We're also backing both teams to score as this market has won in five of Marseille's last seven games and in six of Toulouse's last eight.
In the midst of all of this, Dens Park managing director John Nelms apparently told club secretary Eric Drysdale to "hold off resubmitting their vote". Following so far?One of the biggest questions remains - why? Why hold off? Why not resubmit the vote that fellow Championship clubs were told had been submitted? Why has Nelms, or anyone at the club, not publicly clarified their position, and what now for the validity of the vote? And, crucially, if they have changed their mind from a no vote, what has made them? Dundee's voting slip, signed by managing director John Nelms, though the SPFL say they only received it after being told to ignore any Dundee submissionWhy did the SPFL announce an incomplete ballot return?A topic very much for the conspiracy theorists and cynics, one would suggest.

Egypt Premier league, match between ENPPI and Al Ittihad, 12. Round. I like to bet on goals when ENPPI plays especially at home they are team who prefer to play more offensive football in Egypt than other teams and I believe that we can see more open game here, Ittihad is quality team and I expect a match with a lot of chances on both sides and I hope that we will see goals, I will little risk and I will try with this bet over 3.25 goals but odds are really great and I will not miss it. Good luck!

The Red Devils hold the record for the earliest Premier League title win, with Sir Alex Ferguson's men claiming victory in 2000-01 on 14 April. The earliest Premier League title win by games remaining, rather than by date, is five - a record also set by Manchester United in 2000-01, as well as Manchester City in 2017-18.
Wycombe approached the festive period in an excellent position; they were out in front and had plenty of breathing space. However, after three defeats in quick succession, The Chairboys are now only four points clear of an Oxford side that has played one less game.

It was never going to be an untroubled stroll to the title and trophies for Liverpool this season - there would always be bumps in the road and better to find them with a 22-point lead and a place in the Champions League quarter-finals still very much on offer. And Liverpool's display at Chelsea, with a changed side but one that still contained superstars such as Virgil van Dijk and Sadio Mane, was as decent as Klopp suggested afterwards.
Everton, however, would be a significant step down and it would not be surprising to see him take a different tack and opt for a money-spinning move to China or a similar league. As for James, it has never quite worked out for him in Spain but he proved during his loan spell at Bayern Munich that he is a player of quality.
Gareth Ainsworth's men have now lost two on the bounce, though both of those defeats came away from home against strong sides. On their own patch, Wycombe remain in excellent form having won each of their last four, in each of which they've kept a clean sheet. In addition, Wycombe currently rank as League 1's best home team. They've won nine and drawn just two of their 11 games at Adams Park this term, scoring 22 goals and conceding ten in the process.
That's an issue for the Premier League or the authorities to work out, not for the fans on the terraces," he adds. He also says supporters of other clubs would feel the same way, before referencing Manchester City and Sheffield United. Choosing between Ashley and a Saudi-backed bid must seem a world away for fans of Norwich City, who are owned by former television chef Delia Smith and her partner Michael Wynn-Jones.
Meanwhile, another bottom-six team, Hull City, travel to a Bristol City side who have lost all four games following the resumption, while new Boro boss Neil Warnock will be licking his wounds when the Teessiders go to Millwall (Wednesday, 15:00) after back-to-back defeats. Last top-two chance for Forest and Fulham? Two clubs whose automatic promotion hopes are fading meet at the City Ground. Fulham have slipped to seven points off the top two since the restart, while Nottingham Forest are now nine points behind second-placed West Brom.
Manchester United could be without midfielder Jesse Lingard when they host Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in their final Europa League group game. Lingard picked up a knock in the 2-1 win at Manchester City on Saturday and did not train on Wednesday. United are already without fellow midfielder Paul Pogba, who has not played since September because of an ankle injury. Midfielder Nemanja Matic is fit again and defender Phil Jones is available.
Jose on Eriksen future Video - Jose on Eriksen future: Only me, Amazon and Christian know!00:56 08:30 - Big night of UCL matches Right then, big old evening of Champions League action tonight, with Jose Mourinho's first home game as Tottenham manager coming against Olympiacos. Man City host Shakhtar Donetsk, while there are two heavyweight European clashes as Real Madrid welcome PSG to the Bernabeu, and Juventus take on Atletico Madrid in Turin.
Werder Bremen is going to face Bayern Munchen. The hosts of this clash won only one of the last three matches and it was against the weakest team in this league Paderborn. The hosts scored 5 goals and conceded one and it was a pretty good match. The visitors won against Borussia M. 2:1 but today I expect a higher victory. Lewandowski is back and I think he will score at least one goal against Werder. My bet for this match is Bayern Munchen to win this match by more than 2 goals. The visitors are dominating in each match in this season.
Liverpool are yet to put a foot wrong in front of the home crowd this season and have secured maximum points from their last twelve games here. It is also worth mentioning that the home team have been at their defensive best in their recent clashes as well.
The rhythm of comedy is suffering. The world is a strange and stilted place. RETRO CORNER With the news that Jimmy Greaves is unwell in hospital — awaiting test results; it’s not the coronavirus — there’s no better time to remind yourself just how ridiculously good and how thrillingly precise he was.
Bottom side Toulouse slumped to a 2-0 defeat at home against Rennes while Amiens, who are second from bottom, lost 1-0 at home to Metz, with Farid Boulaya getting on the scoresheet for the visitors. On the south coast, Monaco were held to a 1-1 draw with Reims when Wissam Ben Yedder's first-half penalty for the home side was cancelled out by a 58th-minute equaliser from Hassane Kamara.
After back-to-back wins in the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim hit the road to face Fortuna Dusseldorf this Saturday. The hosts are 16th in the table, the relegation/promotion play-off spot, one point from safety. Hoffenheim, meanwhile, currently seventh, continue to chase a European place and are only being kept off the final Europa League spot by Wolfsburg's superior goal difference.
A return to the Champions League is looking likely but Leicester's fomr has slipped a bit of late. They have lost three of their last five games in all competitons with the only wins coming at Brentford in the FA Cup last weekend and a 4-1 home win over West Ham United. Only one point had been earned from City's previous three home league games, so this isn't the dominant side that we saw earlier in the season.
Qatar has always disputed those figures, saying the deaths cannot be linked directly to the World Cup. In February, Amnesty International said that although progress has been made, Qatar "must step up efforts to honour labour rights promises" before the tournament begins. Wenger says the situation in the country "has improved tremendously" because of the World Cup, adding: "Human rights are important and Fifa is very conscious of that.
Former USSF president Carlos Cordeiro resigned in March after lawyers for US football's governing body made submissions as part of the lawsuit in which it was claimed that the job of a male footballer on the national team "requires a higher level of skill based on speed and strength" than their female counterparts. Before they played Japan in the SheBelieves Cup on 12 March, the US players turned their tops inside out during the warm-up to hide their badges, leaving only the four stars which represent their World Cup successes on show.
Birmingham have lost over half of their matches on the road this season. They have struggled defensively on the road, conceding 1.7 goals per game away from home. The Blues head into Saturday’s clash having lost their last two in the Championship, which has left them rooted in the bottom half of the table.
