It would mean using every available midweek slot and, for the busiest clubs, utilising their squads to play twice in a very short space of time. It was by no means ideal but Liverpool played two games in two days in different continents this season, so it clearly can be done. How realistic is football in May?BBC Sport has been told by a Premier League source that unless they are blocked from doing so by the government, the intention is to restart the season as soon as practical from 30 April.
Kane and Son have both made the transition from underrated to Europe’s finest. And this isn’t saying Moura is at that level. It’s just that while Spurs cater to the aforementioned duo, Moura is left – often successfully, recently less so – filling whatever vacancy in the team remains. Everyone will have the own barometer for ‘underrated’.
So, when Everton do get around to appointing a successor to Silva, appoint someone who can coach and motivate. Scottish Cup Final: A great advert for mayhem Christopher Jullien porte le trophée de la Coupe de la Ligue après le sacre du Celtic Glasgow contre les Glasgow RangersGetty Images The Scottish Cup final was great.

Football LIVE - What next for football as coronavirus pandemic bites? Former FA chairman Dyke says current season must be completed Chelsea's first-team players and coaching staff are all in self-isolation after winger Callum Hudson-Odoi tested positive for the coronavirus last week. The Mirror reported that Mount and Rice, both England internationals, were playing a five-a-side game at the Trent Park Football centre near Barnet.
Paul Pogba of Manchester UnitedGetty Images Paper Round’s view: Manchester United’s time with Pogba has been a complete waste of money and focus. There is a slight chance that the World Cup winner could return after his injury and hit it off with Fernandes, and secure Champions League football. Should that happen, expect Ed Woodward and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer be more circumspect about letting him go.
Gomel will against Gomelzheldortrans in match Belarusia Pershaya Liga. My Prediction this match could be the win for Gomel with margin score is 1 goal. Gomel have not good result on last match due to Gomel only have score draw with Naftan Novopolock. Meanwhile, Gomelzheldortrans have great result on last match due to Gomelzheldortrans have won form Khimik Svetlogorsk with score fantastic 5-0. Nevertheless, I think that Gomel can beat Gomelzheldortrans on this match due to Gomel can defeat Gomelzheldortrans on match friendlies in February 2020 with 2-0. Therefore, Gomel have more chance to win on this match due to Gomel will play this match in the home.
Augsburg changed their coach in March as former Bayer Leverkusen coach Heiko Herrlich is now in charge and he was known while coaching that club for having a quite attacking minded view of the game especially in home games, of course this is a different challenge as the aim for Augsburg is that to avoid relegation but they do have many decent options up-front and even though the game is going to be played without their fans the quality remains up-front for Augsburg.
Gil Vicente score an average of 1.00 goals per home game and Sporting score an average of 1.33 goals per away game, and both teams scored in 50% of Gil Vicente’s home games and 67% of Sporting’s away games this season, which is why we have backed a 2-1 win for the Portuguese giants this weekend.
City still ended up comfortable winners, thanks to Gabriel Jesus's close-range finish from a deflected Raheem Sterling cross and a superb curling strike from De Bruyne, who as usual took centre stage. De Bruyne slipped Sterling clear to add a third, meaning the Belgian equalled Thierry Henry's record of 20 assists in a single Premier League season. After Riyad Mahrez blasted home a fourth, Silva was applauded off, although an empty Etihad Stadium was not the send-off he deserved.
Jurgen KlinsmannGetty Images WHAT ABOUT KLINSMANN'S FUTURE? I think in Germany it will become really difficult for him to become coach anymore, but I'm not sure if he even wants to. In my opinion, he is not that good of a coach to demand so much money and there is no club (except BVB and Bayern who definitely won't be interested) who will pay him what he wants and give him that kind of power.
I was in good form, good shape, scoring goals and now we've stopped now for over a month. I've given it my best and hopefully we'll come back to play. The team had a good momentum before the pandemic started. At the moment I'm on loan, and this will cut short my time at the club. BBC Sport understand United are keen to extend Nigeria international Ighalo's contract. He has scored four goals in eight games in all competitions for United, including once in the 5-0 Europa League last-16 win over LASK on 12 March, a day before the Premier League season was suspended.
So, it looks like it will get finished with games being played behind closed doors in a short period, but I don't see how you can make plans for that at present and we still might reach a point where the league needs to be called off, before it impinges on next season. The longer it goes on the harder it gets The only thing that has definitely been decided in the Premier League so far is that Liverpool have definitely qualified for next season's Champions League - they became mathematically sure of a top-four finish on 17 FebruaryMichael Brown: I am all for finishing this season, whenever that is.
Real coach Zinedine Zidane joined Perez in praising Valverde for the selfless act which helped his team win their first trophy of the season.

The majority of Real Madrid’s attacking play came through the Croatian who found plenty of space between the Athletic Club defence and midfield.

Sue Smith helped England reach the final of Women's Euro 2009"She's quick, strong, powerful and can glide past players with ease. She's got all of the attributes to be a top-quality wide player or forward player. Going to Manchester City, a big club with big expectation, she's only young, and yet she's managed to live up to that pressure. Everybody that you speak to about her says she's got the right attitude.
Derby manager Phillip Cocu: "We knew it would be a tough game and from the moment we conceded the goal it was going to be much harder against one of the best-organised teams in the league. We conceded an easy goal, and we had a poor start, we hesitated and we were slow which changed after we conceded which I'm a little disappointed about. But in the end we got an important goal and mentally we are in a good place and we kept pushing.
And with a seven-point point deficit to second-placed West Brom to overturn, their chances appear even slimmer with 23-goal top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic likely to be banned after an apparent off-the-ball elbow on Ben White that went unpunished early on. However, Fulham still need to go to The Hawthorns, where a win could rekindle their hopes and boost those of Brentford, who only face two sides in the top half of the table during their final seven games.
Premier League Golden Boot winnerPremier League appearances: 201Goals: 136Goals per game ratio: 0. Wright: "He's an out-and-out goalscorer. If he had a midfield like Aguero has behind him, you can't fathom what kind of ratio he'd score at, given what he's scored already. Shearer: "Would it bother me if he beat my record? We've just been talking about how selfish goalscorers are and you ask me that!"It'll be difficult for him, because there's a lot of 'ifs'.
Ming Chuan University and Red Lions will face each other in the upcoming match in the Premier League in Taiwan. Ming Chuan University this season have the following results: 0W, 1D and 3L.

Pardew has been staying at his Sussex home in recent weeks but remained in contact with his players. His contract with the club is due to expire in June. I hope to be able to come to The Hague again soon," he added. There will also be a moment of evaluation at that time. It is clear for me that I have not regretted my switch to Den Haag for a second. It is a wonderful club, with very committed and loyal fans.
In fact, since the turn of the year Dortmund and PSG have played 19 games between them, games that have produced a whopping 96 goals. Woof. Cue a staid and disappointing 0-0. Barcelona set to sign Middlesbrough reserve There are some silly rules in football, but one of the silliest would seem to be the one in Spain that allows teams to sign players outside the transfer window, if they argue convincingly that they really, really, really need one.
While it all appeared good humoured, the media in the Spanish capital failed to see the funny side and implored the club to sever ties with the player they signed for £85 million six years ago, accusing Bale of a lack of respect. There's been a lot of noise about what he did but we need to just focus on football.

Paper Round’s view: A number of players at top clubs around Europe have already taken pay-cuts so the Premier League could follow suit soon. The idea of the wealthier clubs helping out others is also already happening and there might need to be action taken to ensure EFL clubs survive.

Of course, confidence is no bad thing as a manager and if you’re not going to toot your own horn then nobody is. But…boy, this is some confidence. Monterrey’s title meant even more to their manager It was the second leg of the Liga MX Apertura final on Sunday, between Monterrey and Club America, a colossal event in the Mexican football calendar for everyone in the country but for Monterrey coach Antonio Mohamed, it meant even more.
While that rumbled on, home fans flooded on to the park to goad what Rangers supporters remained. The Big Mohsni thing wasn't great," added McCall, who did not manage Rangers again after that match.

With the help of a troop of police horses the pitch was cleared and Baraclough and his players could drink in the moment.

32nd day of the Spanish league, Fuenlabrada hosts Tenerife. the two teams are very close in the league table, they have the same number of points as Fuenlabrada. Fuenlabrada has 6 draws at home this season Tenerife has won only 4 draw games away on this. I am taking the draw. This should be a very even match because both teams play similar this season and now occupy side by side in the table. The hosts of this game Fuenlabrada now sit 13th in the table and collected a total number of 39 points. Tenerife are in front of them in the standings. This is going to be a draw.

De Gea gifted Everton a third minute lead when he casually hung on to the ball, allowing Dominic Calvert-Lewin to close him down and then drilling his attempted clearance into the striker -- with the ball flying into the unguarded net. United got back on level terms with a long-range Bruno Fernandes effort which caught England keeper Pickford out of position.
Darmstadt and St. Pauli, the two top-table sides, face each other in a highly-anticipated clash at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor. Die Lilien are eager to secure promotion to the Bundesliga, but they are are nine points behind the top three ahead of the visit of St. Pauli. Darmstadt failed to find the net in the previous two league fixtures, meaning that home win should not be considered. When the two teams met in Hamburg earlier this term Darmstadt recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over St. Pauli, and yet another low-scoring affair is on the horizon. Hope it is useful for all of us ..
Fulham are winless in their last two home league games against Middlesbrough (D1 L1) since winning 4-3 in April 2015. However, Middlesbrough have won none of their last four matches against Fulham in all competitions (D2 L2) since a 2-0 victory in the Championship back in February 2016. These two sides drew their first clash of the season, while we can see a repeat here. Given Fulham’s solid home form and the visitors’ recent run, a 1-1 draw is our correct score pick.
Today's match would have been a reasonably big deal anyway given the local rivalry but, in truth, without Mourinho it would have been behind Manchester City's meeting with Chelsea and, possibly, Liverpool's win at Crystal Palace as the must-see event of the weekend. Tottenham limited media to one representative per organisation when they unveiled Mourinho at their training ground on Thursday and still had to turn down more than 50 requests for entry.

Elkann, famed for his flamboyant fashion sense, said in a statement the licensing deal had "extraordinary importance" for the company's growth plans. Ronaldo's playing prowess as well as his established marketing appeal helped revenue at his side Juventus, also controlled by the Agnelli family, to grow by 16.
But what took place thereafter was a moment of sheer magic. Three minutes into the second half saw the most exquisite first-time ball from Ross Barkley set up a glorious strike by Alonso that put the game beyond Spurs. It momentarily took my mind off the awful decision to leave Tottenham's Giovani lo Celso on the pitch for his shocking tackle on Azpilicueta. Did you know? Since the start of the 2016-17 season, Alonso has scored more goals than any other Premier League defender (17).

Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham went into it knowing that only a win would maintain their challenge for the top-flight crown. But their 2-2 draw - from a truly thrilling game that included brilliant goals, tasty tackles, touchline melees and nine yellow cards for Spurs - handed the trophy to Leicester City. The Foxes, one of Keown's former clubs, had been 5,000-1 to win the league before a ball was kicked.
I still look at Romelu Lukaku's stats every day and want to see he is doing well for Inter Milan, even if I didn't do it for a couple of years when he was with Manchester United. He still exists in that tract of players who have achieved so much but do not get the respect they deserve. Crouch is not the only footballer to be a fan of Herring's music - Toffees stalwart Leighton Baines came to see Future Islands play a gig in Manchester in 2014.
