All sport in Italy has been suspended until at least 3 April because of coronavirus, but this does not include Italian clubs or national teams participating in international competitions. Getafe president Angel Torres told the El Transistor programme on Spanish radio station Onda Cero that Uefa rejected his club's request for an alternative venue. Unless it changes a lot before the morning, Getafe will not travel to Milan," he said.
There are four groups France, Poland, Switzerland and Croatia could be placed in - and five possibilities for third seeds Portugal, Turkey, Austria, Sweden and the Czech Republic. Then Wales and Finland will be in Group A or B. The draw starts with teams from Pot 1 (ie the top seeds) - although we already know which group each of them will be placed in. To determine the position of the team in the group - eg A1, A2, A3 or A4 - a ball is drawn from a bowl.
At Goodison Park, Everton's struggle to open up their opponent's defences has been particularly stark, and the Toffees have averaged just 1.0 goal per game in their last eight Premier League fixtures on their own patch.
Pochettino was one of the leading contenders for the United job when Jose Mourinho was sacked in December but the club appointed Solskjaer on an interim basis instead, and named the Norwegian permanent manager in March. Ole is a great guy and he has the club's interests at heart so there's not a better person for the job in my opinion," Rashford told Sky Sports.
They would go on to win the Cup that year - the first of 25 major trophies under the Scot in an unrivalled 27-year period of dominance. Ferguson's Manchester United won the FA Cup in 1990 via a 1-0 replay win over Crystal PalaceBut what if the 1989-90 season had been halted with United yet to play their FA Cup sixth-round tie and only just starting to show signs of life following a run of 11 league games without a win? Would the United board have seen it as a fitting time to make a managerial change and thus alter the whole history of the Premier League?The lost individual achievementsAnd then there are the individual achievements - smaller personal glories, woven into the fabric of the game that would be torn from the grasp of deserving players.
Richardson was helping him stay fit while he waited for trials with other clubs, yet that day they mostly talked - for two-and-a-half hours. He told me that his girlfriend was pregnant," said Richardson. Then he said 'the problem is, she's told me it's not mine'. Richardson gave the best advice he could but knew "this player needed help". He said he'd get that for him and, in the meantime, he was free to talk any time.
Former Chelsea and Tottenham manager André Villas-Boas is really getting the best out of his current team Marseille as they now sit 2nd in Ligue 1, five points behind PSG who have a game in hand. His side have been putting together some incredible performances with les Olympiens now on a run of six consecutive wins. They've scored 13 goals and conceded just four in this spectacular streak of results.
In contrast, the defenders flanking Egan or Jagielka - O'Connell and Basham - are encouraged to make long diagonal runs that carry them outside wing-backs Baldock and Stevens, who in turn cut in off the flanks. This was something I saw them do in the Championship," added Lawrenson. A lot of teams probably don't think they have players that have the ability to do it - to come out and play the way Sheffield United's defenders do.
SAVE! Willian carries the ball into the box, cuts onto his right foot, drills for goal, but Leno beats the ball away. GOOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!! Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal. Captain's goal from Azpilicueta as he guides home what is surely the winning goal. Short corner from Chelsea comes in, Abraham is in an offside position, but the ball flies past him, Azpilicueta is there, and side-foots his second of the season to send the Matthew Harding Stand into raptures.
Wales and Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale has launched a new esports organisation called Ellevens Esports. It is co-owned with 38 Entertainment Group, founded by entrepreneur Jonathan Kark and former footballer Larry Cohen. It includes a team which will make its debut at the Fifa eClub World Cup in Milan this week. Bale is also inviting gamers from around the world to participate in a talent hunt to gain a professional contract with their teams.
They have since amassed 20 points from 10 games to leap from 19th to level with 10th-placed Arsenal in the standings - and now sit six points from a Europa League position and eight clear of the drop zone. That may have something to do with striker Danny Ings, who took his goal tally to 16 for the season, with 15 in his last 17 games - 40% of the 27-year-old's total Premier League goals have arrived this season.
Despite being actually 2nd in the table of this League, this won't be an easy game for Torpedo Zhodino in my opinion: they have scored no goal in 3 out of the last 4 away games, winning once by 5-2 vs FC Minsk but also losing by 2-0 vs Dinamo Minsk, so scoring here seems to be hard for them. Neman is inside the relegation zone at the moment, however they have been very convincing at home, because they have collected 7 out of their 8 points here, winning twice to nil and also beating a very good team like Energetyk. In my opinion Neman Grodno can take advantage of playing here to win this match.
Rodrigo Moreno and Geoffrey Kondogbia are likely to be back. Second placed Real Madrid, who are level on 43 points with their great rivals, will be ready to take advantage of any slip-ups when they visit Valladolid on Sunday. Coach Zinedine Zidane used Wednesday’s Copa victory over Unionistas to give playing time to a number of squad players and, barring an injury picked up by forward Gareth Bale, the Frenchman was pleased with what he saw.
He made no mistake from the spot, striking the ball straight down the middle to score his third goal in three games. Watford then made it 3-0 in the 71st minute when they pounced on a loose ball from Villa's Jack Grealish to counter attack in numbers, with Etienne Capoue delivering an inch-perfect cross from the left for Ismaila Sarr to bury home.
Chelsea – the only team left unbeaten in the top-flight – extended their impressive run after thrashing Matt Beard's Hammers to go second and above Arsenal in the table. Bethany England and Maren Mjelde found themselves on the scoresheet twice, along with substitutes Ramona Bachmann and Emily Murphy, but it was the goals from Scotland's Cuthbert and Wales' Sophie Ingle that led the Blues faithful to plead Neville to select them for the upcoming Olympic Games in Tokyo.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on Forest Green is the best option for Saturday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. The visitors have outperformed their hosts so far this season but the pair head into the match in identical form over their last six matches. Mansfield are a side Forest Green have struggled to beat over the years but the visitors are playing much better than their hosts this season and the double chance bet covers an away win or a draw.
Mattersburg will host St. Polten for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good team in this season. Mattersburg are currently on the 11th place with 14 points. Hosts have a poor results in the last matches. They have two consecutive losses. On the other hand St. Polten are currently on the 9th place with 15 points. In previous game St. Polten is won 1-0 against Mattersburg. In any case, this will be tough match for both sides. The hosts lost on the previous match and do not wish to make the same mistake this time as well. So, the hosts want to win at all costs. They want to stay in the league.
Ward has also been involved in securing new contracts and signings this summer - 10 players have penned new deals and BBC Sport understands more are to be announced. All staff and players are believed to have been on last week's meeting call, which the team had hoped would provide answers on why Ward was allowed to leave. Sheffield United Women, a semi-professional team, have been competing in the second tier for two seasons; Ward was described by the club as "instrumental" in them achieving Championship status in 2018.
He added: "As a big figure then, as captain, to go about things totally the wrong way, which I easily could have done, it's not the way to do it. Was that easy? No. Was that one of the most mentally toughest things to deal with? Especially because it went on for so long? 100%. The maddest things is when you don't play for whatever reason - if you're out of form, or if you had a few bad games and someone is playing better than you - I know in my head that if you give me four or five games in a row, I'll be back.
Former England captain Wayne Rooney watched Derby's win over Blackburn from the standsBlackburn, who would have climbed into the top six with victory, started brightly but failed to take their early chances, with Tosin Adarabioyo heading over and ex-Nottingham Forest forward Ben Brereton slicing off target from corners.

Mid-table Sunderland need a win this weekend to keep in touch with the rest of the playoff hopefuls but face a Blackpool side that could move up one place and into third with as little as a draw.

Of course in a perfect world they would have won the Premier League title on their own pitch in front of 50,000 fans, but we aren't living in a perfect world right now because of the coronavirus pandemic. There will be more big moments to come, and some of them will be weird - the trophy lift at an empty Anfield after the final home game of the season against Chelsea on 18 July for example. But there will be a victory parade through Liverpool at some point and from my experience that is when the whole city comes together anyway, even more so than when you win it at your ground.
These two groups are linked because Bucharest hosts half the Group C games, with three Group F fixtures in Budapest. But Romania and Hungary are both in the Path A play-offs - so only one can qualify. If Romania win the play-offs, they will go into Group C with Ukraine and the Netherlands - and the Path D side will be in Group F. If Iceland, Bulgaria or Hungary win Path A they will go into Group F with Germany, with the Path D winner going into Group C.
Alan Shearer - ENGLAND v Netherlands, 1996 Media playback is not supported on this device Best Euros goals: Alan Shearer - England v Netherlands 1996 An outstanding team goal on a wonderful night for English football. Terry Venables' side were already two goals up in their crucial final group game when they delivered a goal of real beauty. Steve McManaman and Gascoigne were both involved down the left before Teddy Sheringham unselfishly squared the ball to Alan Shearer, who duly hammered it into the top corner.
The real Achilles' Heel for Nice this season has been their away form as they have lost five of their seven matches on the road. They haven't earned a point away from home since early September and have slipped up against some very beatable teams like Strasbourg (1-2), Nantes (0-1) and Ligue 2 side Le Mans (2-3) in the cup. They've conceded twelve goals in their last six away games and Saint-Étienne will be looking to capitalise on this.
Hull's hopes securing their survival were always slimmer than slim and they will be playing League One football next season for the first time since 2005 following their defeat at play-off bound Cardiff City which left them bottom of the pile. The fact even a victory would not have saved them from going down will be of little consolation. Charlton's final-day defeat was perhaps the most predictable as they soundly beaten by champions Leeds United.
Bayern are a step into the unknown considering the 47-year-old has never managed in the Bundesliga and the job is a poison chalice of sorts given the impossibly high standards Pep Guardiola set there. Real Madrid is - and most likely always will be - a toxic club given the sense of entitlement that engulfs the Bernabeu.
Moreno was 'disloyal', says EnriqueEnrique resigned from the role in June to spend more time with his nine-year-old daughter Xana, who died from bone cancer in August. Moreno succeeded him but told Enrique he wanted to be in charge at Euro 2020 before returning to assistant manager. Moreno left the role after Spain's 5-0 win over Romania on 18 November. I understand that he has worked very hard to be the coach and that he is ambitious - but for me that is disloyal," Enrique said.
Over 2.5 goals have been produced in 44% of Morecambe’s home games and in 44% of Carlisle’s away games this season while both teams scored in 44% of Morecambe’s home games as well as in 56% of Carlisle’s away games, all of which adds weight to our final scoreline prediction for this weekends’ clash.
Cagliari to restart training despite advice Serie A side Calgiari have confirmed that first-team training will resume in small groups, despite advice from the Italian players' union that it is still not safe due to the coronavirus outbreak in the country. Cagliari Calcio announces that the resumption of the first team's athletic activities has been scheduled for Monday, March 23rd," said a statement.
Going to this game, Kasimpasa are placed 10th on 40 points while Basaksehir have 69 points at the top of the standings. The highest Kasimpasa can rise is ninth, should they win and ninth placed Gaziantep FK loses away to relegation threatened Yeni Malatyaspor. Kasimpasa had a very poor run at some point in the season, registering just one win in 12 league matches but they have really improved in recent matches, winning seven of the last 11 and losing just one.

It was certainly not a humiliation, merely a necessity. Time will tell if the lessons have truly been learned and the new 'Humble One' will be sustained, but Mourinho's first moves have been sound ones. Of greater significance will be what he saw on the field and he will know that this was a mixed bag, despite the ultimately convincing scoreline. Mourinho thanked the ball boy for his quick thinking in the lead-up to Tottenham's second goalOlympiakos were not flattered by that two-goal advantage after 19 minutes.
