Clyde, Peterhead and Forfar Athletic would be in a similar situation, while Cove would stay in the bottom tier despite winning League Two last term. Earlier this week, SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster wrote to clubs asking if they would back a 14-team Premiership for next season and, if not, how might their objections be overcome. That followed Hearts' owner Ann Budge's failed attempt to gain support for a 14-14-14 structure for the next two seasons.
The issue is part of a wider challenge for governing bodies to fit in as normal a season as possible, despite the prospect of starting the campaign five weeks late and having to complete the season in May in time for the start of the delayed European Championships and Copa America on 11 June. FA Cup, EFL Cup, winter break - what could give? Manchester City beat Aston Villa to win this year's EFL CupUefa says next season's Champions League group stage will take place across six successive midweeks from 20 October and the only break will come for the second international 'triple header' between 9 and 17 November.
Barcelona and Real Madrid will each lose around 120m euros because they will not be able to open their redeveloped stadiums next season. You have to add to that bars, merchandising and VIP boxes. Barcelona have got an agreement with Lautaro Martinez of Inter Milan, now the thing is how do you convince the club to let him go? Inter will be happy to let him go if they get the right players so maybe Ivan Rakitic, Arthur, Nelson Semedo, Samuel Umtiti - those are the kind of guys Barca will happily let go.

Both Burnley and Bournemouth head to this game on the back of poor runs and though they managed wins in their last outings, it is insufficient to predict who will win here. However, Burnley have a great record over Bournemouth in the past few matches; they have six wins in the last 10 meetings. Burnley meets a Bournemouth side struggling at home, even though Burnley themselves are not the best performers away from home. Bournemouth have conceded two or more in five of their last nine home matches, while Burnley have conceded two or more in six of their last 10 matches. Neither side has had a steady run and none of the last six meetings between the two has ended in a draw. We will thus go with a double chance here on either Bournemouth or Burnley to win but not a draw.

Luis Muriel added two more late in the game, the first a penalty, while Torino's frustration boiled over as Armando Izzo was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 76th minute and Sasa Lukic was given a straight red card in the 89th. Atalanta, Serie A's leading scorers with 57 goals, pulled level on 38 points with fourth-placed AS Roma who play Lazio on Sunday.
However, any Premier League club who find themselves replaced by a team who have not completed their season are bound to consider legal action. Quite apart from a row over the rights and wrongs of such a move, logistically, the clubs going down would have a major problem. They could find themselves having to turn round in a short space of time from one season into another and having to face a string of opponents who have not played a competitive game for months.
We’re confident that both teams will score in Sunday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Both teams have drawn the majority of their last six matches in all competitions and on each occasion those stalemates have ended 1-1. Neither side have kept many clean sheets on late, just one in the pairs lat twelve matches combined, but both teams are unbeaten in their last three matches in all competitions and should prove difficult to beat this weekend.
Paderborn has collected 4 points out of the last 2 Bundesliga matches but with Werder Bremen and Union Berlin as opponents, they played against two teams from the bottom half of the league. Overall Paderborn has been poor this season with a 2-3-10 record. In 3 of the last 4 away games in the Bundesliga they conceded 3 goals.
Former Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard is the latest Premier League legend to reveal all to Match of the Day's Top 10 podcast. The current Rangers boss retired as a player in 2016 after more than 850 appearances spread over a 19-year career. Gerrard won the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup at Liverpool but a Premier League title eluded him. The 40-year-old said seeing his former side crowned champions recently helped bury a few demons, but admitted it still gave him mixed feelings after missing out on league success himself.

We expect the Rams won’t be much of a challenge for the hosts, given that the visitors have lost five straight away games. The visitors are in dire form on their travels, failing to score in any of those defeats. The visitors have loss than a goal per game behind them on the road, while their losing streak should hand this one to the hosts.
Angelino, Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden could have made the scoreline embarrassing for the visitors in the first half and their wastefulness might have been the one cause for concern for a perfectionist such as Guardiola. Bernardo Silva's excellent strike - twisting and turning on the edge of the box before an unerring finish into the bottom corner - was much more like it, though. Media playback is not supported on this device A brilliant finish from Bernardo Silva doubles Man City's lead Fulham were generous opponents, sticking with their approach of playing out from the back, and Jesus was the second-half beneficiary.
Manchester United have been far from secure defensively this season, though they have looked more comfortable in home games against weaker opposition in cup competitions, keeping clean sheets against Astana, Partizan Belgrade and AZ at Old Trafford already this term.
The 37-year-old is also yet to manage a club himself. In this instance, he alone would be the main man responsible for turning around Arsenal’s fortunes – a tough and unenviable task given they are at their lowest ebb in decades. A more natural step for Arteta would have been to take charge of another former club, but Everton have bigger ambitions.
Viborg will host Fredericia for this fixture of the league. I think, this will be tense match. I think, both teams want to win. I expect, both teams tend to score a goal. Viborg have advantage at home stadium. Hosts have an effective attack in their last matches. In previous game Viborg is won 1-4 against Hvidovre. Also, I expect, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Fredericia is one of the best teams on the road. Also, in last previous game Fredericia is won 3-1 against F. Amager. In any case, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. I think, Viborg will closer to victory.
A second said he was the worst Boro signing of the past 25 years, and another said "my second team is now whoever Leganes are playing". Read about some other unusual transfers to Europe's big clubsWhat type of player is he?Denmark international Braithwaite has played for hometown club Esbjerg, Toulouse, Middlesbrough, Bordeaux, Leganes and now Barcelona - scoring a total of 85 goals in 348 club games.
Villa are two points adrift of the Premier League safety zone, albeit with a game in hand, but Smith saw enough from his players on Sunday to have hope for the rest of the campaign. We take it game-by-game; we came here to win a trophy but our concentration now goes to the Premier League," he said. You can't hide from the fact we are in the bottom three, but if we play like that we'll get out of the relegation spot.
But, of the eight, Huddersfield's vastly superior goal difference means they are all but safe. Relive Saturday's EFL actionHatters hit improved Hull's hopesHull City boss Grant McCann responded to Tuesday's 8-0 demolition by Wigan Athletic - during which they conceded seven first-half goals - by making six changes, including dropping goalkeeper George Long. It did appear to have some impact during the first period against Luton, as a more direct approach saw them create the better of the chances, albeit none that seriously troubled Hatters keeper Simon Sluga.
RACISM DOMINATES THE NEWS YET AGAIN Players in the top two divisions of Dutch football will stand still for the first minute of matches this weekend as a protest against racism, the top flight Eredivisie has said.

Kane thought he had equalised late in the second half, but he was adjudged to be offside. The England captain then limped off, seemingly with a hamstring injury.

Fu Jen University were the third in the previous season in the league. They have won 11 games from 21 played in total. NTUPES only managed to win four games in total and took the 6th place. They have allowed 59 goals in 21 matches.
Leicester stay third, six points ahead of Chelsea who now have a game in hand. Unmarked defender Lewis's swerving strike was the Canaries' first goal in open play since New Year's Day, or more than 700 minutes of action. The clean sheet was also only the home side's second of the season. Leicester, with top scorer Jamie Vardy left at home to nurse a calf strain, had the ball in the net after 49 minutes through Kelechi Iheanacho but it was ruled out after VAR replays showed the ball hit his arm.
Varazdin will host Gorica for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. However, the visitors have better team than their opponent. I think, Gorica have a great chance to get all three points. Gorica is very average team in this season. In previous game Gorica is won 3-0 against weak Istra 1961. Also, we have Varazdin who's is worst team in this league. Varazdin have slight advantage at home stadium. They have low potential in attack. In any case, the hosts have a very difficult task. I think, Gorica will closer to victory.
With Paul Tisdale, who did such a good job bringing them up last term, at the helm, MK Dons fans may have fancied themselves to enjoy a solid campaign this time around, though things have turned very sour over the last few months. A severe lack of wins cost Tisdale his job, while the Dons find themselves languishing in the dreaded drop-zone.
Having that determination is why they have been able to fight back to get something after going behind in games this season - I saw them do it for myself against Bournemouth on the opening weekend. Wilder's tactic of employing overlapping centre-backs has attracted much attention this season, but it is nothing new to Blades fans. United essentially set up with a 3-5-2 formation. John Egan is usually the central of the three defenders and a fixed point - in his absence against Manchester United, Phil Jagielka filled that role.

But Chelsea held on to maintain their top-four berth and now have a four point gap over fifth-placed Tottenham. TALKING POINT - Giovani Lo Celso should have been sent off The VAR officials at Stockley Park admitted they should have sent Lo Celso off for his clear stamp on Azpilicueta earlier on and said it was not a VAR error but a human error.
Setubal have a huge task against a rapidly improving Famalicao side, who are among the most interesting rising clubs in Europe. The hosts have a string of players on loan which has boosted their squad, having attracted talent from Valencia, Atletico Madrid and Wolves.
