This fixture features No. 4 vs No. 14 in the league, Villefranche vs Concarneau. The hosts coming from a 2 - 2 away draw over Creteil (no. 10 in the league) and their last home game a 1 - 1 draw with Laval. The visitors coming from a 0 - 1 home loss to PAU (No. 1 in the league) and their last away game a 2 - 0 loss to Dunkerque. The hosts should win this one as they played a higher table team than the visitors scoring multiple goals but conceding multiple goals to draw the match then also drew their last home game to a team above the visitors scoring one goal facing a team coming from playing 2 teams above the hosts but losing both matches without scoring so an over 2.5 is best to tip here.
Akhmat could remain unbeaten here. There are two reasons for my pick. First reason is connect with the actual form. Somebody may argue because there was a winter break in Russia and just one round is played after, but I think the overall results are still very important for the players confidence. So, Akhmat have just one defeat on the last seven matches in the Premier League. I believe the atmosphere in the squad is positive, while the players confidence is high. On contrary, Lokomotiv Moscow have two defeats on the last three matches, with just one draw.
We want to improve and ensure that everything we coach is seen out on the pitch," he said. We know the route we want to take and why we want to take it. There are things we'd like to see right now but we can't see them. But we've only had a few training sessions together and you need to be backed up by what you see in games, but it's still very early in the process for that.
Both of these victories came at St Mary’s Stadium, and while their away record doesn’t look as good there are still some positives. They have only lost three of their seven Premier League away days this season, and that includes recent clashes with Spurs, Wolves, Manchester City and Arsenal.

While the qualification process is an afterthought for the major European leagues, it represents a crucial part of the fixture calendar for many countries. The number of countries involved has created a massive logistical headache for Uefa at a time when travel bans are in place across Europe. The current plan is to play the 2020-21 season as normal, including two-legged ties, but with the usual dates already put back, this may be impossible to implement.
Southampton grabbed the early advantage at Villa Park after Shane Long chased down a long ball behind the Villa backline, but his effort was parried by goalkeeper Tom Heaton, only for Ings to score from the rebound. The visitors doubled their lead on the half-hour mark after a James Ward-Prowse corner found an unmarked Jack Stephens, who headed the ball into the bottom right corner.
I have one big issue with Shane Long because he slipped last weekend and has a little knee injury," the Austrian manager said. He couldn't train today and it doesn't look very good. Moussa, it's still too early for him to play against Chelsea. Kevin (Danso) was ill but was training today for the first time with the team.

Javier Bordas will be the manager responsible for the football first team, while Xavier Vilajoana will be in charge of Barca B, the youth teams and women's football," Barcelona said in a statement.

Man of the match - Federico Fernandez (Newcastle) Centre-back Fernandez made more clearances than any other player (eight) as Newcastle kept a clean sheetA fixture for the purists - the statsBrighton are unbeaten in all six of their Premier League meetings with Newcastle (W2 D4) - against no other side have they played more games without losing (West Ham also six). Brighton v Newcastle is the only Premier League fixture to be played more than five times with fewer than one goal per game on average (0.
I expect an attacking formation from the hosts just like when they hosted Perth Glory with their top two strikers Arroyo and O'Donovan playing up-front with playmaker Petratos right behind them supplying decent service for the two strikers, this while the guests are also a good reason for taking the over 3 goals in this one as they had the lead 3-0 away at Perth Glory and ended up winning 3-2 the game, won 4-2 as well at Central Coast Mariners in another high scoring away game from them.
Norwich sat deep, but Everton did not have the enough ideas to open them up, either in broken play or at any of their seven corners. Of their 18 shots, Everton only managed seven on target, although Cantwell's opener for Norwich roused them, with Sigurdsson trying his luck on three occasions within a few minutes. But with their next three games against Leicester, Liverpool and Chelsea coming inside the next two weeks, this defeat against the side that were the Premier League's back-markers looks like an opportunity for progress missed.
The video was captioned with: "Corona whatttttt, please listen with volume" then subsequently: "This virus gunna have to be quicker than that to catch me. It wasn't funny and I realised that immediately and took it down. I let myself down and the club," he said in his apology on the Chinese social media platform Weibo.
I said to the boys already two weeks ago that we will have a winter break, which means we will not be there," said Klopp. You cannot deal with us like nobody cares about it. I know that it's not very popular but that's the way I see it. The Premier League asked us to respect the winter break. That's what we do. If the FA doesn't respect that, then we cannot change it. We will not be there. Klopp said it "will be the kids who play" and also confirmed that reserve coach Neil Critchley, who took charge of the Carabao Cup quarter-final loss to Aston Villa in December while the first team were playing the World Club Cup, will again be in the dugout.
Both these clubs are from the 3rd league level but for those who remember Landskrona played many seasons above this league level mostly in the 2nd league level in Sweden and last season they were one of the top clubs in this 3rd league level finishing with ease 2nd in the league just that meant a play-off place for promotion against one of the bottom clubs from the 2nd league level and they failed to win that double leg and will play once more in the 3rd league club.

Lawro's prediction: 1-2Tom's prediction: Newcastle are half-decent at home. SUNDAY Burnley v Leicester (14:00 GMT)Burnley got swept aside by Chelsea last week and are on a bad run of results, with four straight league defeats. But Leicester seem to have lost a bit of the self-belief and swagger that had propelled them up the table, and any thoughts of them seriously challenging for the title have now gone.
Match of Indonesian top League. Semen Padang will play at home with team Borneo. My bet will be over 2.5 goals. Hosts are in the bottom of the table. They did 2 -1 - 2 at last 5 matches played , 5 - 5. Guests takes the 4 th place in rankings. They did 2 - 1 - 2 at last 5 matches played , 8 - 6. As we see both clubs are in the same shape. I predict here open match with goals from the both sides. Hosts will have motivation to leave the last place. They must to win today. Borneo have chances to reach the 2 nd place. They need a points also .
But following the Japanese government's decision to declare a state of a emergency on Tuesday, Olympic organisers have cancelled the exhibition. The opening stages of the Tokyo 2020 torch relay were supposed to be underway by now, but the International Olympic Committee and Japanese government, under pressure from athletes and sporting bodies, pushed the Games to next year.
The Rugby Park outfit has done poorly to get a grip on their away games and have failed even more so upfront where they've failed to produce a goal in four of their last five games. Moreover, Killie's also not doing well at the back, letting in at least one goal in their previous six games and conceding at least twice in three of those last six.

Fresh doubt has been cast over the future of Bury Football Club after they defaulted on a plan to help settle their outstanding debts. Creditors approved a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) proposal last July which would have seen the club's football creditors paid in full. Unsecured creditors, including HMRC, were due to be paid 25% of money owed. Bury, who were expelled from the English Football League last August, had until Tuesday to pay the CVA.
Was either of Liverpool or Spurs going to immediately challenge for the title? Perhaps not but the structures were starting to be built that would allow them to step into the top echelons of the Premier League. Fast forward a little over five years and it’s astonishing to see where the two are. Liverpool are the best side in the world, a relentless winning machine who no-one has figured out to stop.
It is a third chance for Udoh to make it in league football. And, after the thrill of coming off the bench to score a late winner just 10 minutes into his debut at Accrington in August, he has acclimatised to League One level. I always wanted to play at as high a level as possible but there was a period when I struggled and thought maybe it wasn't for me," he said. But I felt I had to prove to myself that I can play.
Liverpool really did not play badly on the night, created more than enough chances with some fine crossing and rapid counter attacking, but the finishing touch was not there. All it takes is one error, when you have no away goals to fall back on, and so it proved. Cruel on Liverpool, but a lesson in knockout football against teams like this.
Top football players are being urged to spend 90 minutes focussed on making a positive difference by Common Goal, a social impact collective supported by leading stars of the sport from Jurgen Klopp to Eric Cantona. Old Trafford star Mata will host a 'live match' with German international Serge Gnabry on his Instagram channel tomorrow.
The Premier League is hopeful of a potential 8 June resumption. The 20 club doctors have been holding their own discussions about Project Restart - the label given to plans to resume action - with a view to feeding their thoughts into the Premier League's leadership. A Premier League source told the BBC that they viewed the move by the medics as a natural part of the process with clubs, and a means of reaching "the best possible set of protocols".
Sibley's cool first-time finish from Martyn Waghorn's measured pass made it 2-1 and he completed his treble on just his second league start with another low first-time finish. Lions substitute Jon Dadi Bodvarsson scrambled in an injury time effort from close range to give hope of an unlikely point, but they could not deny the Rams, who move level on points with their hosts and just two points adrift of the top six.
But he came out of it. He was the benchmarkThe incident was raised with world governing body Fifa, which ruled a year later there was not "sufficient evidence" to warrant punishment. Gibbs-White had become a statistic - another professional footballer who had been racially abused. During that season, anti-discrimination organisation Kick It Out reported there were 304 complaints of discriminatory behaviour relating to race and faith in England.
The role change has given Alli a shot in the arm and he has scored exquisite goals worthy of season-ending highlight reels. From a deft lob that flummoxed the Manchester United defence to set himself up for a volley to beat David De Gea to chesting down a long ball and chipping the goalkeeper against Bournemouth, Alli has thrived and rediscovered his golden touch.
He's an Everton fan, so I don't feel that sorry for him," said Lawro. Referees' boss Mike Riley will present his season's review of the video assistant referee system on Friday at a Premier League shareholders' meeting. Riley, head of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, will look at key match incidents and assess how the technology has been used in its first season in the English top flight.

Lampard also gave a first Premier League start to 18-year-old anchor Billy Gilmour in the absence of experienced midfielders N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic, who were both injured, and Jorginho who was suspended. Two more teenagers who joined Chelsea as youngsters - Faustino Anjorin and Armando Broja - came on in the second half to make their league debuts, following on the heels of other young prospects who have broken into the team this season.
Fernandes' new deal has a release clause of £85 million, but the Mail report reveals that Sporting would be willing to let their captain leave for closer to £60 million. Expect new Spurs boss Jose Mourinho to sign his compatriot as a Christian Eriksen replacement. Read the full story Willian in 'bizarre' contract situation at Chelsea Chelsea winger Willian has found himself in a strange situation at Stamford Bridge where he claims he is yet to be offered a new contract, but the club are "adamant" that he has.
Mikel Arteta’s reign as Arsenal boss began with a 1-1 draw at the Vitality Stadium against Bournemouth. See alsoBournemouth - Arsenal Despite having the lion’s share of possession and chances, Arsenal were a goal down at the interval after the hosts capitalised on some hesitant play from Arteta’s men.
Another key part of training is Nuno's backroom staff, who have stayed with him throughout his managerial career. They were very intelligent and full of ideas, always making you want to work," Kouka says. Sometimes players feel a little bit lazy and maybe don't want to work, but these staff would always keep pushing you. Even if you couldn't see something in your game, they would spot it and try to help you.
We think Frank Lampard's men will match that scoreline this weekend against a Burnley rearguard that conceded exactly two goals in each of their last two Premier League defeats, and on each of their last two visits to Stamford Bridge.

Water breaksAnother measure brought in to assist players during the heavy fixture schedule was a break in the middle of each half, usually lasting for a few minutes. Designed so that players could get necessary fluids on board, they were also used by managers to impart tactical advice. They are not expected to continue into 2020-21, which will be a boost for those who feel they break up the flow of the game.
That must have been, ooh, about nine years ago. Well, you were right! It was exactly nine years ago. And like a kid at Christmas, Norwich's Twitter account woke up very early to remind us all. HAT TIP Over at The Athletic (£), Daniel Taylor would like to talk about Phil Jones. When the option of asking for a testimonial was brought up, he decided against it.
Olympiacos may come into this final Group B match on the bottom of the pile but they've got an excellent chance to propel themselves into the Europa League. Punters are advised to side with 'Olympiacos to Win & Over 1.5 Goals'. Crvena's defensive weakness is there for all to see. Combine this with the fact that Olympiacos have been much more effective offensively, scoring at least twice in each of their two home games, and a bet on the hosts notching multiple goals on route to victory is hard to go against.

SC Cambuur are on the first place in the league after 20 matches and are also the second most productive team in the league after Jong Ajax. At home Cambuur are scoring an average of 3.1 goals per match this season.
But after the uplift that turned the game in their favour, Rangers dropped the tempo again and another defensive howler cost them. St Johnstone manager Wright deserves credit for his brave approach, which recognised Rangers' recent frailties, and although they faded as an attacking force in the second half they dug in and got their just rewards.
I don't think anybody expects us to be anywhere near the top," said Rodgers. After Manchester United won at Manchester City, a caption came up after the game about how far Manchester City are away from Liverpool. We respect that and we just get on with our job, get on with trying to play and improve our performance levels. The Northern Irishman has guided the Foxes to more points after 16 games of this season than they earned at the same point when they won the league under Claudio Ranieri in 2015-16.
Norwich City have agreed to sign Luxembourg forward Danel Sinani from F91 Dudelange on a three-year contract. The Premier League's bottom club said Sinani, 23, would join before the start of the 2020-21 season. He’s a young player full of potential," said Norwich head coach Daniel Farke. Luxembourg is a completely different level so we will need to give him some time, but he has proven he can deliver in the Europa League," added Farke.
Both teams have scored in four of the last five BATE Borisov games. Both sides have scored in each of the three league games played by Slavia this season.
