German newspaper Bild posted the news on their twitter account on Friday with the offending picture. View more on twitterOn Thursday, Dortmund sports director Michael Zorc said the group of six players had assured them they had followed safety guidelines and the masks were only taken off for the photograph. But the league (DFL) decided to take action against Sancho and Akanji after they were pictured without personal protective equipment.
Victory would have taken Tottenham above London rivals Chelsea into fourth but instead they slipped to sixth, two points behind. TOP FOUR While the title race may lack drama, the battle for the top four is set to be a close one and Manchester United are firmly in contention after ending the year with back-to-back wins.
Football match from the Romanian league and we have Chindia Targoviste playing host to Voluntari. I think for this match the host team stands the better chance to win, they are having a far much better season and it's important they keep far away from the relegating position. This season they have won 6 matches and 3 had been at home, they play much better at home and I think they will win this match.
Chelsea eye up Icardi after PSG stall Chelsea are reportedly ready to hijack Paris Saint-Germain's summer deal for Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi, who is on loan at the French club. According to the Sun, the west London outfit are monitoring the 27-year-old's situation, with the Ligue 1 leaders having the option to buy Icardi this summer for £54.
Real Madrid's players, coaches and "main directors" will take a pay cut of 10-20% this year as the club deals with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Football in Spain has been suspended indefinitely since March, when the country declared a state of emergency. Real said the decision to reduce pay was "taken by players, coaches and employees" to avoid "traumatic measures that affect the rest of the workers".
Cittadella have moved into the promotion mix again, sitting in second place and on their way to an automatic promotion place. Given that Citta are currently unbeaten in six matches in Serie B, we think they’ll be a tough nut to crack here. The visitors should come here looking to make things difficult, especially if they’ve caught any of Fiorentina’s last few games.
Jesse Lingard and Luke Shaw have been training at Nad Al Sheba Sports Complex in DubaiNewcastle: The Magpies saw their break reduced by the FA Cup replay at Oxford, although boss Steve Bruce says the players will still get "four or five days off and have a long weekend". Norwich: Players were given a few extra days off earlier this week but it's back to business as usual for Norwich as they prepare to host Liverpool a week on Saturday.
Ancelotti returns to his former club trying to solve all of those problems, while Napoli's big names are unsurprisingly linked with January exits. It's far from a happy camp and that hands a vital lifeline to Milan. The hosts have lost narrowly to each of Roma, Lazio and Juventus of late, but they are among the league's form teams. Milan should prefer facing a Napoli side who have won just twice in their last eight Serie A trips, having scored four in each of their two away league wins this term.
le puy finally won their first game at home this season in last round versus Bastia and it was 3-0 so that win should give to them enormous confidence boost and tonight I expect from them to play great and to be able to beat direct opponent from relegation zone,gazelec Ajaccio is pretty bad on the road with 1-2-7 score and they are also not in good shape so I m pretty confident le puy is going to beat them and the odd is just great,gazelec Ajaccio didnt won for 13 straight games and that should be extended after tonight
Diriangen is the big favorite up against Chinandega playing at home tonight. Bet on 1 at the 1 x 2 market full time, as Diriangen is slightly underrated across the majority of the bookies at 1.36. Fair odds seem to be 1.34, so a bit of a value here with no commissions if that is the case, and regarding Chinandega fair odds seem to be 13.55, so Chindandega is way way overrated at odds of 6.50 in all the bookies. Diriangen only lost one match at home out of seven. Chinandega away results are terrible as they only managed one win out of their stadium, losing 4 and 2 draws out of seven matches.

Isloch Reserves is going to face Vitebsk Reserves. The hosts of this clash are one of the strongest teams in the last matches and they won three in a row. They scored 13 goals and conceded 7 in this season but in the last three matches, they conceded only two goals on away. Isloch won last two matches at home and kept clean sheets. Vitebsk is strong at home but on away they conceded 11 goals and scored only 3. They got only one point after a draw against Fk Sluck. I think that Isloch will pick easy win here with at least one goal advantage
Smelling Virgil Van Dijk, throwing up on the pitch, one of the best saves a defender has ever made, and a naked bus ride home. Inverness Caledonian Thistle went in to their 2015 Scottish Cup semi-final as true underdogs against a Celtic side boasting a future Ballon d'Or winner, but won in controversial and dramatic fashion. To mark the fifth anniversary of that win, BBC Scotland spoke to some of those who made Highland history.

However undeserved this point might be, Palace were a completely different side in the last minutes and snatched an unlikely point at the death. Player ratings: Crystal Palace: (4-3-3) Guaita 6 Kelly 5, Tomkins 5, Dann 5, Riedewald 5; Kouyate 5, Milivojevic ,5 McArthur 5 Ayew 5, Benteke 5, Zaha 7 Brighton: (4-3-3) Ryan 6; Montoya 8, Webster 6, Dunk 6, Burn 6; Mooy 7, Bissouma 7, Propper 7; Trossard 7, Maupay 7, Gross 6 Man of the Match: Martin Montoya, Brighton It may be odd to name a right-back as the player of the match, but the Spaniard was electric going forwards, constantly a threat be it crossing or at the back post and stretching the play, but he was also solid in showing Zaha the line, and he was very unfortunate that the Ivorian pulled out some genius from the top drawer to level the scores.
The football season in England should only resume once all players have been tested for coronavirus, says the chief executive of the League Managers' Association (LMA). But Richard Bevan told BBC Sport "tests must be made available first" to NHS workers and patients. Once that's happened, by all means let's access it in sport," he added. Professional football has been postponed indefinitely because of the pandemic.
Ashley Young assisted a goal on his Inter Milan debut as they were held by Cagliari. The 34-year-old former England international joined Serie A's second-placed team for £1. Manchester United last week. Playing for Antonio Conte's Inter at right wing-back, he crossed for Lautaro Martinez to head in their opener. But Radja Nainggolan, on loan from Inter, equalised against his parent club with a long-range deflected shot.
Last year saw them go all the way to the quarter finals of the Copa Libertadores. They are unbeaten in their last 16 home games in this competition and that stretches all the way back to 2011. To show how difficult this will be for the away side, that's the only home loss Internacional have suffered in 37 games over a period of 27 years.
It is the earliest date the milestone has been reached in a single campaign in the competition since 2009-10 (19 December). Since his maiden Premier League campaign in 2014-15, Leicester's Jamie Vardy is the competition's top or joint-top scorer against both Liverpool (7) and Manchester City (5), while he is also the second or joint-second highest scorer against Arsenal (9) and Tottenham Hotspur (5).
Liverpool team-mates Virgil van Dijk and Sadio Mane, Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne and Manchester United's Marcus Rashford also finished in the top five. On Wednesday Henderson, who is recovering from a knee injury, received the Premier League trophy from Reds legend Sir Kenny Dalglish at a near-empty Anfield. Henderson added: "I accept [the award] on behalf of this whole squad, because without them I'm not in a position to be receiving this honour.
Asked in his television interview with BT Sport about transfers, Solskjaer said: "I understand you were talking about that and that is always going to be the talk at the moment because we’ve started a clear-out and get-players-in job. Burnley enjoyed what was almost a routine victory and yet it was the Lancashire club's first at Old Trafford since 1962.
Meanwhile, defending champions Rennes needed penalties to beat Amiens and fourth division Saint-Pryve Saint Hilaire stunned Ligue 1 Toulouse 1-0. Toulouse fans missed Carnejy Antoine's 96th-minute winner because they had been kicked out of the ground by police after smoke bombs and flares saw the game suspended for 10 minutes. Toulouse are bottom of the top flight after losing 10 consecutive games in all competitions.
The English Football League and Professional Footballers' Association have proposed that clubs defer up to 25% of players' wages in April because of the coronavirus pandemic. The agreement applies to Leagues One and Two, with Championship clubs expected to make individual decisions. Under the limits of the deferral, players earning less than £2,500 a month would still be paid in full. Any reduction in wages must not take a player below earning that amount.
Two uncharacteristic defensive mistakes did the damage in the first half for City, who had beaten the Gunners on penalties in 2019's final. Firstly Gemma Bonner gave the ball away and Vivianne Miedema slotted in the opener, before goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck let Danielle van de Donk's strike slip through her fingers for the hosts' second.
They have scored 14 headed goals in the Premier League this season, more than any other side. Trent Alexander-Arnold has provided 25 Premier League assists, the joint-most by a Liverpool defender in the competition along with Stig Inge Bjornebye (25). Only Cesc Fabregas (20y 134d) and Wayne Rooney (21y 63d) have reached 25 Premier League assists at a younger age than Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold (21y 140d).
But that was their best spell of the game and Frederic Guilbert's 78th-minute effort, which was easily held by Kasper Schmeichel, was their only shot on target. Villa have lost all five games since beating Leicester in the EFL Cup semi-finals. They will need to improve drastically if they are to stay in the Premier League, especially as their next four games are against sides currently in the top six - Chelsea, Wolves, Liverpool and Manchester City.
Equal pay means paying women players the same rate for winning a game as men get paid," she said. The argument that women are paid enough if they make close to the same amount as men while winning more than twice as often is not equal pay. Giving its ruling, the court said: "The women's team has been paid more on both a cumulative and an average per-game basis than the men's team over the class period.
Viborg is at third place at standings, they are in a race for promotion, but with a two defeats in a row, they urgently need some victory, and a duel against Hvidovre is a great opportunity to boost players confidence. Visitors are in relegation zone, and it's a hard to believe that they can avoid defeat in this duel, Viborg has much more experience, in compare to their opponents, also they are much more effective in attack, own stronger defense, have better individuals, and with a Frederik Brandhof in the squad, I am sure domestic side will not have problems to win in this duel with more than 1.5 goals AH
I’m really pleased with them [the youngsters],” Arteta said afterwards. I’m enjoying working with the players. They deserve a chance. It’s always a risk but they’re worth the risk. Klopp not worried about the coronavirus (ending Liverpool’s title procession) Everyone is worried about the coronavirus, not least the producers of Corona beer who have apparently seen a stupid but depressingly predictable decline in sales due to people who can’t tell the difference between a disease and a beverage just because their names contain some of the same letters.

City's De Bruyne has three goals and seven assists against Palace in all competitions. He leads the league with 14 assists this season.
That has not been the case though so far this term, with Los Armeros losing four of their seven outings at Ipurua including three of their last four. Last weekend's comprehensive 4-1 beating against Real Sociedad at Reale Arena made it three consecutive defeats for Jose Luis Mendilibar's side and they are now just two points clear of the danger zone in 16th.
Wigan have won just once in their last 32 away games at this level, while their 2-1 loss at Luton in their last trip has left them with eight losses from 11 away matches so far. Unlike last season, their home record isn’t propping them up. They come here with 12 losses in 22 games.
However, the team spent much of the final 30 minutes keeping possession in their own half and avoiding risks -- something Allegri would habitually describe as "administering the match" and which became a hallmark of his five years in charge. I didn't like the way we sat back on the result," said Sarri, who took over this season.
While Wolves went on to dominate possession, Steve Bruce's side - who lost both Paul Dummett and Gayle to first-half injuries - more than merited their point. Follow live reaction to Saturday's Premier League matchesWolves lack cutting edgeWhile Wolves largely had control of the ball this was the fourth consecutive game in all competitions in which Nuno Espirito Santo's side have struggled to find a cutting edge.
Southampton's concentration and desire was immense. Considering they are safe, and have been for some time, this was one hell of a team performance. However, there was one standout performer and that was Jack Stephens. The Southampton defender was quite brilliant. Manchester City had 29 shots but still couldn't find the back of the net. Gabriel Jesus may be a top striker but he's proving to be no Sergio Aguero.
Four of the five league titles I won with Liverpool in the 1980s were settled by us, on the pitch. Like I say, that is the best way to do it. But the final one, in 1987-88, was a weird one for me personally, because I ended up getting relegated too. I'd played more than a dozen games for Liverpool at the start of the season despite not really getting over an existing Achilles injury and by January 1988, when I limped off during a game against Arsenal, I knew I was finished - I couldn't run anymore.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Trevor's wife Sue, sons Darren and Ian, daughter Danielle and his five grandchildren at this difficult time," Leeds said in their statement. Trevor Cherry played for Leeds in the 1975 European Cup semi-final as they overcame Barcelona and was an unused substitute for the final defeat by Bayern MunichHaving progressed through the ranks at Huddersfield at the start of his playing career, making 185 appearances and winning the Second Division title, Cherry impressed Leeds boss Don Revie enough to seek him as a potential replacement for Jack Charlton.
Everton had big chances to rescue it through Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison but could not find a way back as they slumped to only their second league loss under Ancelotti. Arsenal are up to ninth, seven points adrift of the top four and unbeaten in the top-flight in 2020. Everton are a point below the Gunners in 11th.
Not to blame anyone else. It was a great thing. I went really deep with that analysis. A break was very positive for me. It was the first summer I did not work and I felt a little bit at a loss during that pre-season. I was always humble, in my way. The problem is you didn't understand that. Video - Jose's quick response when asked about broken Chelsea promise00:16 This was the Mourinho the man himself wanted to portray: recalcitrant, open, learning, still with a flash of cheekiness.
Plymouth have kept clean sheets in 42% of their home games so far this season and have won-to-nil in each of those matches, while Mansfield have failed to score in 38% of their away games and have lost-to-nil in 31% their away games. A majority of Plymouth’s wins this season (7) have been obtained with a margin of 2 goals or more, while 3 of Mansfield’s defeats have been via a margin of 2-goals or more.
Vysocina Jihlava will host Hradec Kralove for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be tense match for both sides. I think, both teams have the motivation to make a positive result. Vysocina Jihlava have advantage at home stadium. However, the hosts are in poor shape in the last matches. In any case, they are not convincing team. Also, we have Hradec Kralove who's is also ambitious team in this season. The visitors are undefeated in their last 5 matches. I think, they will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. True, this will not be an easy job.
That is a massive let off for the Blues, who still look dazed from Tuesday night. GOAL! Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea (Alonso): Chelsea's period of pressure pays off! It's a beautiful move, James continuing to cause havoc. His cross is hammered off the woodwork by Giroud and Alonso almost bursts the net with a volley on the follow-up.
Melbourne City have seen a stretch of high scoring games, with each of their last 10 seeing over 2.5 goals scored. Having won 2-1 at Western United earlier this season, we think the hosts have a great chance to return to winning ways here. We’re backing a repeat of that scoreline, with 67% of the hosts’ victories coming by a single goal.
