China's state broadcaster CCTV has removed Sunday's Arsenal-Manchester City game from its schedule after comments made by Gunners midfielder Mesut Ozil, state media has reported. Ozil posted on social media about the treatment of Uighur Muslims in China. Arsenal distanced the club from the German's views, saying it was "always apolitical as an organisation". The Global Times described Ozil's comments as "false" and claimed he had "disappointed" football authorities.
Liverpool did not manage a shot on target against a resilient Atletico side - only the second time the Reds have failed to test an opposing goalkeeper since Klopp joined the club in 2015. I have no problem with the result," added the German, who has never lost a European two-legged tie with Liverpool. I saw so many happy faces at Atletico, but it's not over yet. I'm not sure what we have to be in the second leg.
Zaha has tried more take-ons - defined by Opta as an attempt to dribble past an opponent - than any other Premier League player this season. He is the second most fouled player (94) behind Jack Grealish of Aston Villa (127)Zaha allows Palace to play counter-attacking football with a really strong foundation. They also know if he gets possession, he will buy them time to recover and regroup, and the minimum they will get is a free-kick that will allow them to play in the opposition half.
Athletic Club have been very strong at home this season with only Getafe and Valencia winning at them. In the cup Athletic Club had a excellent win over Barcelona in the previous round and have lost only 1 of the last 9 games in the cup.

Underachiever - Arsenal Arsenal are 11th in the Premier League on Christmas DayYou could throw a dart at a number of names on a wall for this one. Should it go to Manchester United for another year of underperforming? Or maybe Marco Silva for falling short at Everton despite a summer of big spending?Both are plausible options but neither have arguably fallen quite so far in such a short space of time as Arsenal.
As you already know these two meet few days ago and Cagliari won 4-3 after being down in 72 minute 1-3. That was really crazy game and I doubt Cagliari can win it again. Also, both teams don't need any extra time to play since next round is for 3 days as well. So I think both don't need to qualify for next round but since home team fighting for European place and Sampdoria against relegation, I think Cagliari will field some mixed team and will try to be knock out. Maybe I am totally wrong, but visitors are team who can win this game.
Mid-table Levante, based in Valencia, will similarly stage their home games nearly 100 miles away, near Alicante). Playing within the confines of their training ground, Zidane's players are obviously familiar with their temporary matchday surroundings. But the prospect of visiting a humble 6,000-seater rather than the vast Bernabeu is a far less daunting proposition for opponents and that lack of home-field advantage could be telling.
Tottenham forward Son Heung-min begins a three-game ban after the club failed with an appeal against the red card he received in Sunday's defeat by Chelsea. Erik Lamela, Hugo Lloris and Ben Davies remain out. Brighton have no new injury concerns although the squad is expected to be rotated with this the first of two games in three days. Winger Jose Izquierdo is continuing his recovery from a knee injury in his native Colombia.
The last weeks have been a disaster for PSV with the team failing to win all their last four games in the national league and losing three of those. They desperately need a win in order to avoid that the gap to Ajax gets any bigger but their chances of winning the league at this point are already quite low after the poor results. Nevertheless, they should be able to bounce back here and finally get back to victories on this match at home against SC Heerenveen, which makes their -1 Asian Handicap the best line to bet on this match

FIFA said that, since last year, it has clamped down on the practice of new clubs being formed "with the prime aim of avoiding players their overdue salaries. We are also here to reach out to those in need, especially within the football community, and that starts with the players, who are the key figures in our game," said FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
Second-placed RB Leipzig will travel to bottom-placed Paderborn this Saturday in German Bundesliga action. Leipzig will be hoping to earn a fourth straight Bundesliga victory in Saturday's contest. They will have to overcome a Paderborn side who will be full of confidence after last weekend's draw with Dortmund.

Start of the new season, and there should be one close fight between rivals of the mid of the table. They often had under 2.5 goals per their matches in the previous seasons, and now should be able to make the same one, since teams were not playing for long time. After the virus break, it would be hard to get fast into the playing form, especially for the offensives players.

From an early age he developed a love for football but curiously was the only member of his family apart from an older brother who did. And his obsession with the importance of leadership is shown by his passion for learning everything he can about the history of the Roman Empire. From nothing appeared the most powerful empire on the earth. The power and the conquest of this empire left its mark all over the world and led to the creation of the greatest architects and the wisest teachers," he says.
Smith was extremely popular at Derby, helping them into the top flight and establishing them there, as well as unearthing stars such as Stimac, Aliosa Asanovic and Paulo Wanchope for modest sums. His exit from Pride Park after three seasons of progression was followed by assistant manager spells at Coventry City, Portsmouth and Southampton, before a return to Oxford in 2007, with whom he finished his 38-year career in management.

This match brings together two of football’s most tactical coaches – Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti. Their teams are fighting for spots in Europe and we expect them to go for the kill. However, one thing is that they have both not been as convincing in defence as they have been in attack. Games between the two sides have been action packed lately and we don’t expect this to be different. In 11 of Everton’s last 16 away league matches, both sides have scored, and the Toffees have lost nine of the 16. On the other hand, Spurs have one clean sheet in their last 11 matches and have conceded in 12 of 16 home matches in the league. Tottenham have scored two or more in seven of the last 10 league games played at home and we feel they will go all out here, hoping to take advantage of playing at home. Going for a 2-1 win for Spurs on the correct score scale can pass here.
With a reduction in the number of flights going into China, players travelling from overseas were already having to take circuitous routes to report to their clubs as preparations slowly built up for the anticipated start to the season. Israeli striker Eran Zahavi, who scored a record 29 times in last year's CSL for Guangzhou R&F, flew with teammate Dia Saba on a private charter flight, although Dusko Tosic, another of the club's foreign players, remains in his native Serbia, according to Chinese media.

Hertha, in some turmoil after the departure of coach Juergen Klinsmann earlier this month, were 2-0 down after the first 10 minutes. Midfielder Kenan Karaman scored the sixth minute opener, and added the third on the stroke of halftime for his first Bundesliga brace after Erik Thommy had netted the second.
At the time I was third choice at Bradford," he says. When I first got that phone call to say Celtic were interested, you just see it for the club it is, the size, history. I had no idea about the enormity of what that season meant to the club and the fans. Celtic began the league campaign with back-to-back defeats, with Larsson's underwhelming debut - his misplaced pass led to Hibernian's opening-day winner - giving little hint of his greatness to come.
This will be very easy win for Chelsea today in Premier league and I see here at least 4-0 for them. So, this team is playing very good and they are in very good form. I was watched them at Mestalla, where they are played one more interesting match in who was 2-2 and today, even they will play without Abraham, I see easy win for them. West Ham is reason for this bet - this team is just in very bad shape in last few weeks and I don't see what will change at Stamford Bridge today. This will be easy job for home team.
In Germany, Arminia Bielefeld and Darmstadt 98 are expected to meet each other for Bundesliga match which will be held at Schuco Arena, Bielefeld city. In the table, Bielefeld takes position 1 with 61 points after playing 31 matches while Darmstadt takes position 5 with 46 points after playing 31 matches.
The late arrivals ran out of the car, quickly got their kit on and were straight out. It's all part of Wilder's process of identifying the personalities he wants on his teams. Namely, players who want to be part of a group and who have "a bit about them". We weren't the most popular of teams, we had a run-in with a side who were all Wednesday fans and we were all United fans. When we won the league, I think we were 4-0 up in one of our last fixtures and we got one of the boys to put fireworks behind the goal.
If you look around the league, there are plenty of teams who need a goalscorer. I reckon there will be a few clubs trying to take him in the summer, but the statistics show how important he is to Southampton because he gets so many of their goals - for his percentage to be so high is just staggering.

Or can you? Ezzeldin Bahader, an Egyptian man aged 75, has registered with a club in the country’s third tier and hopes to play a couple of matches before March, in order to qualify as the oldest person ever to play the game. Go on, lad. Zero: Unai Emery Seriously pal, a little self-awareness… RETRO CORNER On this day in 2012, Luis Suarez tarnished his good guy image by refusing to shake hands with the man he was found guilty of racially abusing, Patrice Evra.
The Toffees sacked Marco Silva after three consecutive defeats took them into the relegation zone, but they have been revitalised under their former striker Ferguson, who had been on the coaching staff since 2014. A Victor Lindelof own goal gave them the lead at United, with Mason Greenwood equalising with 13 minutes left. Ferguson says he is happy to help the club out but does not think he is the man for the job right now.
Struggling teams can often rely on superior home form, though Stanley haven’t exactly thrived on their own patch this term, taking just one point more at home than they have on the road. Fortunately, Coleman’s men haven’t been overly easy to beat at Crown Ground, losing three out of eight, losing just one of their last four, conceding a respectable four goals in the process. They lost last time out at this venue, but as they were on top throughout, bettering their opponents in terms of shots, shots on target and chances created, Accrington were unlucky and thus shouldn’t be judged too harshly. Prior to their 1-0 defeat against the Gills, they beat high-flyers Ipswich by two goals to nil at this venue, so they can do the business, even against the better teams.
We need to start getting a Scottish national team that gives us some hope but he's certainly a really talented looking player. I was laughing because I keep getting told that Chelsea want Declan Rice, so I thought well I might just decide I want Billy Gilmour and see how it goes. Moyes - who has taken a 30% pay cut amid the coronavirus pandemic - returned to London on Monday as the Premier League explores plans for action to resume behind closed doors in June.
Arsenal announced Arteta’s positive test a fortnight ago on March 12, which ultimately led to the halt in the season as his side prepared to face Manchester City. The Spaniard believes he contracted the virus after the team's Europa League clash against Greek side Olympiacos in late February. I am feeling completely recovered," he told Arsenal’s website.
Aguero was forced off in the final 15 minutes against the Blues with a tendon injury, and City had initially feared a long lay-off. The problem is not as serious as first feared, however, though the Argentinean will still be absent when the champions face their great rivals on 7th December. A few games, I don't know exactly," said Guardiola.
Ljungberg, who was named interim boss following Unai Emery's sacking last week, guided Arsenal to a 2-2 draw at Norwich City last Sunday that extended the eighth-placed club's winless run in the league to six games. The Swede, a member of Wenger's "Invincibles" team that went a complete season unbeaten en route to the 2003-04 league title, said he was keen to speak to the Frenchman as he bids to turn around the club's fortunes.
The former Netherlands manager said he had attempted to "ridicule" the German language of pitchside colleague Hans Kraay, who had just interviewed Heracles' German boss Frank Wormuth following a 4-1 defeat by Ajax on Saturday. After an initial on-air apology, the former AC Milan forward also added on Sunday: "Life is like football. Sometimes you score, sometimes you miss. But if you miss, that does not mean that you are a bad person.
I really not see why this match from Bolivia will not bring a lot of goals and I will of course, try that. So, it is the fact that this is a league, where rivals are mostly playing very offensive and I believe that this match will be similar. Municipal Vinto is in this moment slowly with efficient, but in the same time, their rival is all the time efficient and this team is in last three matches, played every time with three or more goals, 3-1, 0-3 and 3-0. Yes, this match will be probably similar and efficient, also.
The Swedish FA (SvFF) announced on its website that 90 employees, among them Andersson and women's national team boss Peter Gerhardsson, would have their working hours cut until the end of May. By reducing working hours, we can reduce the financial burden on the organisation, and thus also the risk that the business will be adversely affected.
Roared on by the home fans, Howe's team threw bodies forward and almost fashioned an equaliser when Nathan Ake connected with Cook's knock-down, but the Dutchman's powerful shot flew straight at Patricio. Next up for the Cherries? A trip to north London to face Jose Mourinho's Tottenham. More to follow.
Werder have also been enduring a poor run of form in recent weeks. They are currently at the bottom of the Bundesliga's form table for the past six games. They have accumulated just four points over the past six games. They also have a goal difference of -8 from the past six games.
The guiding principles behind such deals should be to "guarantee some form of salary payment to players and coaches, avoid litigation, protect contractual stability, and ensure clubs do not go bankrupt, while considering the financial impact of COVID-19 on clubs". Crucially, the document states that where clubs and employees cannot reach agreement and where "national law does not address the situation or collective agreements are not applicable", unilateral decisions to change contracts "will only be recognised when they are otherwise deemed reasonable" by FIFA's Dispute Resolutions Chamber or Players Status Committee.
Only four clubs have conceded in excess of their 28 goals, half of which have come in the past six games. Striker Sebastien Haller, their £45m record signing, has scored once since August and after starting on the bench against Arsenal, the Frenchman made no impact after he was introduced 20 minutes from time. Pellegrini accepts that, as manager, "you take responsibility for results". For 65 minutes there was only one team on the pitch," he added.
We have done our best to keep them in shape by assigning them a series of tasks. Those who did not have a gym or workout facilities at home were provided with a treadmill, an exercise bike and different materials. They have been well used. They sent us videos and their weight on a daily basis - only a couple of players found it a little bit more difficult to keep the weight down. When we returned to training the first few days had precious little to do with football, really.
