The hosts may be 12th, but they sit just three points shy of the playoffs, with only five points between these two in the table. While Preston are flying high, they have just eight points from 10 trips as they prepare to meet a Cardiff side who have won 70% of their home games. The hosts are third in the home table as a result, while this seems like the perfect game for them.
My inkling is that players will take pay cuts, they will help out, they will make donations in whatever way they can help. The way Tottenham have handled it has not been very good, what they are doing to their staff, I don’t agree with whatsoever. But that is a separate issue to what players do. We are two to three weeks behind Italy and Spain in the scheme of things and players there in recent days have have taken cuts.
His appeal stretched far and wide, however, when he scored twice in a 2-1 win over England at Wembley in 1963. An expected big move south of the border did not immediately follow, with many suspecting his fondness for the pub was behind the reluctance of some English clubs to recruit the player known as "Slim Jim".

NorthEast United will host Bengaluru for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very average team in this league. North East are currently on the 5th place with 10 points. Hosts have a poor results in the last matches. However, I expect, they will try to make a positive result in this game. They probably want to stay in the race for one of the top four places in the table. Also, we have Bengaluru who's is more ambitious team in this season. True, in previous game Bengaluru lost 2-3 against average Mumbai City. Maybe this is - draw.. My pick - North East Utd to win.
But build-up and patterns of play mattered little when Arfield stepped up to smash in his second stunner in four days to answer his manager's rallying cry to his midfielders for more goals to ease the burden on Morelos and Jermain Defoe. It should have been a jolt to the system but, other than that moment of magic, the opening half was a bit of a toil for Rangers. Morelos' header forced Jan Koprivec to stir, then Joe Aribo slashed a shot wide under pressure from Dario Del Fabro, and that was about the totality of the first-half chances for either side.
England players were subjected to racist abuse in qualifying matches in Montenegro and Bulgaria, a Brazilian player in the Ukrainian league was recently sent off for reacting to racist insults and Italy's Serie A has also been plagued by racism.

Palace, who drew four of their last six games, scored exactly one goal in three of their last four on home turf, while Arsenal have averaged just 1.0 goal per 90 minutes across their last seven Premier League away tussles.
If they get anywhere near the Premier League record of 18 straight wins, set in 2017-18 by Manchester City, or the recent 17-game run by Liverpool, which was ended at Old Trafford in October, then we really will be in title-talk territory. But with successive home games coming up against struggling Everton and Watford then a trip to Villa that is followed by Norwich's visit to the King Power, they look to have a decent chance of extending their fine form.
Abraham, who is the club's leading goal scorer this season with 15 goals in all competitions, suffered an ankle injury, with Lampard having no update on his return to the side. Abraham) went to Barcelona to get another set of eyes on it," Lampard added. He came back relatively positive. Unfortunately he's a bit unwell at the moment so he's been off for a couple of days with a bit of a bug.

Dortmund and Mainz will face each other in the upcoming match in the German Bundesliga. Dortmund this season have the following results: 20W, 6D and 5L. Meanwhile Mainz have 9W, 4D and 18L.

It is the tale of one of football's unlikeliest odysseys that started in Vilnius on 30 July 2009 and ended 286 days later and 820 miles away in Hamburg - the journey that took Fulham to the 2010 Europa League final. The west London club's season in the sun as one of European football's high rollers - culminating in an unlikely final appearance exactly 10 years ago - will be remembered forever by everyone who witnessed it.

Brescia's 1-2 defeat at Bologna last round, it was the 7th consecutive match Brescia did not win in the Italian Serie A league. After 22 rounds, coach Diego Lopez's team stomped at the penultimate position on the 2019/20 Serie A table, they only had 15 points in their hands, 4 points behind the safety group. This round, Brescia welcome Udinese at home. In terms of confrontation, Brescia only won 2 and lost 4 after the last 7 encounters with Udinese. At home, Brescia only 1 victory from the beginning of the season 2019/20 (lost 8/11 matches). I choose Udinese AH 0
KEY MOMENTS 18’ - GOAL! Aston Villa 0-1 Man City (Mahrez). Out of nothing Riyad Mahrez fires City into the lead. VAR check done, for a potential offside on Aguero in the build-up, and the goal stands. Mahrez picked the ball up on the right, drove at the Villa backline, which parted like the Red Sea, allowing Mahrez time to drill into the net.
From being presented with a winner's medal before kick-off to suffering a 6-0 defeat, Northern Ireland players have had an interesting history with the FA Cup final. A long list of internationals have sung the team song and worn the new cup final suit for what is still one of the most famous occasions in world football. Saturday 23 May should have been the 2020 FA Cup final, but, of course, due to the coronavirus pandemic, this season's competition is paused at the quarter-final stage.
Meanwhile, after securing promotion from the second tier, little was expected of Juarez coming into the season. Indeed, the side pulled up few trees over the Apertura phase, collecting just 18 points from 18 games but the fact that Veracruz's financial issues means no side will be going down at the end of the campaign lifts the pressure on the visitors over the coming months.
Media playback is not supported on this device All the angles: Relive Curtis Jones' stunning goal Yes, some teams use the FA Cup to rotate their squads and rest their regulars but it means you get a chance to see some new faces and it is a perfect platform for young players like Jones to show everyone what they can do. He would never have got a chance to showcase his talent for Liverpool in the Premier League or Champions League, but he got his opportunity in the FA Cup at the age of just 18, and certainly made a name for himself.

League leaders West Bromwich Albion aren't in the best of form and travel to Millwall who are ninth but strong at home. Albion have a one point lead over second placed Leeds United and are four points clear of Fulham in third. That lead was a lot larger before Christmas but West Brom have only earned seven points from their last eight league games.
The defence continues to leak goals and there is little fluidity going forward, despite boasting the world's most deadly attack on paper. MAN OF THE MATCH - Lionel Messi (Barcelona) Far from a vintage performance from the magician, Messi still played a central role in Barca's victory in a game of low quality.
Two teams that are having most ups and downs this season, but also and two teams that cannot be separated for sure when it comes to the quality and experience at their squad. Both teams are hoping to get that play off spot. So far Pordenone are at such place. They are at the 6th place with 46 pts and overall of 13 - 7 - 10 - 37 - 37 while Entella are currently taking the 9th place with 41 pts and overall of 11 - 8 - 11 - 37 - 38. This should be very even match from both side due to the importance for both of them
And fortunately for them, having just missed an easier chance, Considine glanced the ball into the net from McGinn's cross to salvage extra-time. Mind you, that might not have needed had Brophy not lashed another clear opening over, and Cosgrove's header not rattled the crossbar at the death. Mohamed El Makrini's overhead kick looked like winning the tieThe great escape to save season?The full-time whistle allowed the increasingly frantic crowd inside Rugby Park to draw some breath.
Remember: Messi has already won, apparently. Big Virg? Of course, it's not just Messi in the hunt for the Ballon d'Or. Liverpool supremo Virgil van Dijk is also hoping to scoop football's most coveted individual prize - and his team-mate James Milner is backing him. Happy Ballon d'or Day! What a time to be alive.
Paper Round's view: Getting Maddison to sign a new contract will be seen as more important than any potential incoming transfers this year for Leicester. The Foxes need to hold onto the youngster, who had recently been labelled as "United's top transfer priority" alongside Aston Villa's Jack Grealish.
But no. They’ve limped on to this point and, despite Barca being top of La Liga, Valverde has to go. For a little while, it looked like Mauricio Pochettino would be the replacement, but presumably then everyone remembered that he has always said the two teams he could never now manage are Barcelona and Arsenal, and once said he would rather work on a farm in Argentina than work for them.
Fabinho coming on was very important for the organisation. Sadio was fresh and he helped us to win the game, which was outstanding. I have to watch the goal back but I'm pretty sure it was a fantastic finish," added Klopp. I could tell in all the players faces that they weren't nervous, they were enjoying it, and if one team was going to score it was going to be us.
From their present position, Guardiola knows the odds of City joining Huddersfield, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United as the only sides to win three championships in a row are slim. But that just fuels his passion for the job - and Guardiola says he is intent on seeing out the remainder of his contract, which expires in 2021, at the very least. We don't have a joker in our pocket," he said. I know, all around the world, people are saying the Premier League is done.
The Ukrainian FA has been accused of "playing into the hands" of racists after midfielder Taison was given a one-match ban following a red card he received for reacting to racist abuse. Shakhtar Donetsk's Taison, 31, made a gesture towards Dynamo Kiev fans and kicked the ball at them during his side's 1-0 win. The referee took the players off the pitch in the 77th minute. When they returned five minutes later, Taison was shown a red card.
Varbergs had a great season in the second league level last term and got themselves promoted from 2nd place with 55 points in the end, usually the teams that promote have a bit more points but last season it was not such a tough competition for the top 2 places taken by Mjallby and Varbergs to everyone's surprise because these two were more rated with relegation in the second league level in recent seasons than promotion, but they managed to do it.

It has been a long time since this two teams had their last two matches more than 3 months and had like only a few training sessions so far so I don't think that any of the coaches will force anything too much. Especially not because this team's participation here were questioned but thanks to the new calculations from the FA they are here are they wil ltake this matches very much seriously of course. The last 2 match between this two teams finished without a winner ( 0 - 0 and 2 -2 ) and I expect same scenario like that and tonight for sure
In addition to the above, Eintracht have failed to keep a single clean sheet away from home this season. Both teams have scored in six of their eight Bundesliga away games. Furthermore, Eintracht have seen over 2.5 goals in eight of their last 10 Bundesliga away games.
Abraham may have had an off day, but he was the only Chelsea forward at St James' to have a shot on target all match. We cannot rely on just Tammy," Lampard said. We have to get goals across the frontline if we want to bridge the gap upwards. It did not quite come off for Tammy tonight, but that is football.

The visitors, who are now level on points with Manchester United in fifth, had the phenomenal Traore to thank for bringing them level as he rode a heavy tackle by Tanganga to keep alive a move that ended with Doherty crossing for Jota to score from close range. That was the Portugal international's sixth goal in his past three games in all competitions, all coming in the last 10 days. Spurs find goals, but struggle at the back Serge Aurier scored his first Premier League goal of the seasonTottenham's striker crisis is well documented and home fans will have welcomed the news England captain Harry Kane's return from a hamstring injury appears ahead of schedule, but Jose Mourinho's side need a short-term solution if they are to keep their European hopes on track.
Torreira should have been stronger in that situation, but I have some sympathy for him because Jorginho definitely had hold of his shirt. Overall, though, I think Arteta will be encouraged by what he has seen. He has only been in charge for 10 days, and it is going to take time for the Arsenal players to adjust to the way he wants them to play, but they are already showing signs of improvement. Martin Keown was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
Ross found himself a Spanish agent, who helped secure a spell in Romania with Sepsi OSK but still was not getting the game time he craved and returned home to train with Brora Rangers while he plotted his next move.

It's quite easy to get hold of people - you'd be surprised," he said.
