Felix Auger-Aliassime is in another final but this time he's up against a top ten ranked player. He has had the luck of the draw and not had to take on any players ranked higher than him. Stefanos Tsitsipas has also had a straightforward draw in a tournament that hasn't seen that many clashes between top players. He won this tournament last year, is yet to drop a set this time and can win the final to retain his title.
Five players within the squad have scored two goals this term but no one is stepping up and finding the net on a regular enough basis to find them the wins they need. Games featuring MK Dons average just 2.4 goals and they have failed to beat the 2.5 goal line in 50% of their matches this season.
These teams have been the worst ones of this League in the first 2 rounds of this season, considering that they have both lost their 2 games, however Gorodeya has been certainly worse than Belshina: the visitors have been the only team to have scored no goal at all yet, conceding 3 total goals in their matches vs Vitebsk and Soligorsk. Belshina has conceded one goal more than them, but they have at least scored once so far, so I think they could be favorite in this home clash. Belshina has won a friendly game vs Gorodeya few weeks ago, so I will bet on them today.
One of the derby for the relegation in the play out group, where pressure should be on the home side, since they were close to be in the playoff in this season. Sigma is playing on the low level recently, and they were losing some games at home against the low league rivals.
I want to be here. The coach knows. He wants me to stay. How did you rate Luiz?Luiz off as City beat ArsenalLuiz only joined Arsenal last summer - moving from Chelsea on deadline day for £8m - but he was left on the bench against City amid confusion surrounding his contract status. He came on in the 24th minute after Pablo Mari was injured, and was at fault for Raheem Sterling's opener. He then hauled down Riyad Mahrez to give away a penalty and was sent off.
Manchester United and Sporting Lisbon have held face-to-face talks over the transfer of £60m-rated Bruno Fernandes. Midfielder Fernandes, 25, scored twice as Sporting beat Vitoria Setubal 3-1 in the Portuguese top flight on Saturday. The Portugal international is keen on a move but there has been no agreement between the clubs over a fee. United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his assistant, Mike Phelan, watched Fernandes play against FC Porto on 5 January.
West Brom's second was the pick of their goals as Grady Diangana slipped Kieran Gibbs in down the left and Pereira steered home his cut-back at Woodman's near post to finish a classy move. The Baggies' wait for a Hawthorns clean sheet this season continued as a grounded Surridge stabbed home from almost on the goal-line after a Swansea corner was allowed to travel to the far post. But Slaven Bilic's side quickly re-established their two-goal cushion as Pereira's through ball set up Robson-Kanu to curl a cool finish around on-loan Newcastle keeper Woodman.
The winner came from a first-half Don Hutchison header. Predominately a midfielder, the idea to play the then West Ham man in attack came from one of Brown's old pals. Brown: "England brought in Gareth Southgate for Martin Keown and, even though Southgate was a good footballer, he wasn't as tough as Keown, so we moved Hutchison up front. I owe the late great Tommy Burns a lot of credit for that. It was him who tipped me off to play him there.
Fifa is set to discuss whether to prevent domestic league games being played in another country. A Stakeholders' Committee, meeting in Zurich on Thursday, will debate whether to recommend making an amendment to the rules of football's world governing body. The idea of a '39th Game' was first mentioned by Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore in 2008 but was eventually shelved due to widespread opposition within the game.
Given their respective form, both teams must view this game as an opportunity to bounce back. Keeping this in mind, 'Both Teams to Score' appeals. Wycombe have scored in 100% of their home games, while Ipswich have only failed to score in two out of 12 on the road, scoring eight in their last five. In addition, Ipswich rank 2nd when in to comes to shots on target for away from home, averaging 4.75 for, while Wycombe rank 6th in terms of shots on target for at home, averaging 4.75. The pair have also kept just one clean sheet between them in their six combined festive fixtures.
Are they trying to make things so big that all the little incidents that happen every weekend in Italy just look normal? I don't understand what they expect, what kind of reaction do you expect with this kind of act? I just don't get it, I don't see the point. At a news conference on Monday, artist Simone Fugazzotto, who always uses monkeys in his work, said: "For an artist there is nothing more important than trying to change the perception of things through his own work.
The support of the stadium is really important for us. When we play here we want to feel at home," he said. But Goodison evidently already feels very much at home for an Everton side which has now kept 10 clean sheets in their past 16 home league games. In fact, only Liverpool (15) have kept more home clean sheets in the Premier League since the start of last season than Everton - with Chelsea the only other side able to match the Toffees' tally of 14.
Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl said: "We need every player. I trust every player and I did it also in the moment where we haven't been that successful. We need the squad. I don't want to let anybody go. Paper Round’s view: Leeds have suffered a minor wobble as the promise of Premier League football starts to distract the squad.
Jorginho scored the resultant penalty, and from that point Arsenal were chasing things. But they actually did pretty well. The glorious phenomenon that is Gabriel Martinelli equalised after the break, bamboozling N’Golo Kante into falling to the ground like he was trying out motorised rollerskates for the first time and didn’t really have the hang of it.
Relive Sheffield Wednesday late win over Bristol CityHis players will surely feel hard done by that their latest loss hinged on a controversial decision by referee Tony Harrington, although with just one shot on goal they did not deserve to win the game at Hillsborough. Having twice turned down half-hearted appeals from Jordan Rhodes earlier in the second half, referee Harrington pointed to the spot when Rhodes' strike-partner Nuhiu tumbled over easily and appeared to look in his direction more in hope than expectation.
England cricket players were heading home after their tour of Sri Lanka was called off on Friday, while this weekend's Six Nations rugby match between Wales and Scotland also succumbed. France's Top 14, the richest rugby union league in the world, was also suspended on Friday. In cycling, organisers of the Giro d'Italia said the race, due to start in Budapest on May 9, had been postponed.
I went to watch my pals when they were playing on a Sunday, that was when it started to crank up. If they were training on a Tuesday night I would go training with them," said Wilder. I'd sometimes take the sessions and I once broke my wrist doing so. I was playing in the old First Division at the time. It was towards the end of the season and we'd just secured safety. The next day the picture on the front of the Star said 'Sheffield United's Chris Wilder will miss Saturday's game after busting his wrist'.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1Samuel's prediction: I'm kind of fighting with my answer here but I am going to go with Arsenal, because they have some amazing attacking players and they have just clicked recently. I know Villa are fighting right now but Everton's equaliser against them last week hurt them a lot. WEDNESDAY Man Utd v West Ham (18:00 BST)Manchester United are at home, against a West Ham side who know they are not getting relegated because of their goal difference.
We work with both agents and players should there be any serious interest in them,” Olsen told Eurosport Norway. It is natural that there will be interest given his performances for both Stabæk and the U21 national team. He appears very mature both on and off the field. He’s the most exciting player in the Eliteserien right now, I think.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer perennially appears to be under pressure, does just enough to alleviate it before another bad run piles it back on. Tottenham came into this season with their alarming domestic collapse at the tail end of last season largely masked by their fantastic Champions League final run and even worse losses of form from Arsenal and Manchester United.

Manager Eddie Howe, assistant boss Jason Tindall, chief executive Neill Blake and technical director Richard Hughes have also taken "significant" voluntary pay cuts amid the crisis. BrightonBrighton head coach Graham Potter, deputy chairman and chief executive Paul Barber and technical director Dan Ashworth have each taken a significant voluntary pay cut for the next three months.

But he was starved of the ball - Villa only had 30% of possession - and when he did get on it, he found himself in areas where he could not hurt City. When his side are almost constantly on the back foot, Grealish is never going to be able to play the game he wants to. He had cramped up by the end, because he had spent so much time chasing the ballI am afraid that is just the way it is for him in situations like this, but not every game Villa play between now and the end of the season will be as one-sided as this one was.

St Mirren's defensive record has also been relatively impressive this season. They will make it difficult for Celtic to open the floodgates in Thursday's game. St Mirren have conceded a respectable 10 goals in their nine Scottish Premiership home games this season.
Melbourne City have let their home record slip, with back to back losses here. Perth Glory and Melbourne Victory have both won in visits to this ground, ending a three-game winning streak to kick off the campaign. The hosts need their home form up and running quickly if they’re going to make a push for the title, while they need to restore confidence after a rocky spell of form.
City have been given individual training programmes and are advised to stay at home for the remainder of the week, while United are expected to follow suit after they canclled training at Carrington on Tuesday. O'Neill in limbo over Northern Ireland Michael O'Neill's future as Northern Ireland manager is in doubt following the postponement of Euro 2020.

Guadalupe will host Limon for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, this is a very unpredictable league and I think, the visitors have real chance to get all the points. Guadalupe is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 6th place with 21 points. Yeah, the hosts have better team than their opponent in this campaign. Nevertheless, I expect, the visitors to provide a strong resistance. Limon are currently on the 10th place with 14 points. However, they have the motivation to change their positions. In previous game Limon is won 0-1 against ambitious Herediano (away) My pick - Limon to win.
Wimbledon have won four of their last five at home, beating some very useful sides. Moreover, Oxford have shown they're far from infallible of late, especially on the road, where they've failed to win three of their last five, drawing against both Accrington and Portsmouth and losing to MK Dons, who as we all know are struggling badly. Going against The U's right now won't be for everyone, but based on the recent efforts of both, the hosts are worth backing to avoid defeat in front of a home crowd.

The deputy chairman Douglas Park will chair the board during the interim period and a new permanent chairman will be elected by the board at the next board meeting and will be announced immediately thereafter. I considered the possibility of extending my time as chairman until the coronavirus crisis is over but that is not practically possible. After I returned to South Africa last week from the board meeting, I was mandated by the South African authorities to go into self-isolation for 14 days - which I am presently undergoing.

Wolverhampton-born Bhandari, who was introduced to the Red Devils as a youngster by his uncles and cousins, also believes that his "completely different professional experiences" mean he can be "helpfully naive" in how Kick It Out looks for different ways to tackle discrimination. In addition to his legal experiences, he has also been a partner at accountancy and consulting firm EY (Ernst & Young) and has worked with the Premier League as an equality expert.
We can see Parma finishing on top when these two meet this weekend. Milan have lost the most points (six) with goals conceded in the last 20 minutes of play in Serie A this season. Parma are yet to lose a point during this period of play. The visitors have certainly thrown away enough results, while Parma have won four of their last five home Serie A games.
I was really pleased for Kepa," Lampard said. It's not easy because all players want to play and a goalkeeper gets scrutinised more than any other position and he made some good saves. He's shown good character and he played well. Liverpool's third defeat in four games, following Saturday's shock 3-0 loss at Watford that ended their 44-game unbeaten run in the Premier League, can hardly be described as a mini-crisis.
We were in a bit of a tricky situation form-wise," says Joel Byrom, a midfielder who spend two years with Northampton from 2014. I think we dropped quite low in the league and a lot of people were calling for his head. Then all of a sudden he signed a couple of players in January who turned out to be really important for us over the next 18 months. Everyone mentions his recruitment. He knows the right people to have around the dressing room.
The 24-year-old is set to sign a three-and-a-half year contract at the north London club, as Spurs pay an initial fee of £23. Serie A side for a player they signed for £30 million just last January.

Neil Lennon's side preserved the gap cleaved open following Rangers' weekend defeat with three goals in 20 minutes. Olivier Ntcham headed the visitors ahead, James Forrest doubled the lead with an angled strike, and Leigh Griffiths volleyed in his third in four games to complete the scoring after just 26 minutes. Rangers' win over Ross County means Celtic's advantage at the summit remains at five, having played a game more.
Sabanas youth team, did have some well period, and they left the bottom in that time, having some better results in the competition.

Wolves make the trek east to Norwich on the back of their first Premier League defeat since mid-September, though Wanderers were unfortunate to see their 11-match unbeaten streak end in a 1-2 reverse at home to Tottenham last week.
The home side doubled their lead in three second-half minutes. In the 51st the indefatigable Barkley set up Willian to shoot across goal and into the far corner from 20 metres with Pickford stranded. Then France striker Olivier Giroud poked the ball home from a Willian cross after a corner. Everton coach Ancelotti, who spent two years at Chelsea, leading the team which included current Chelsea boss Frank Lampard to the league and FA Cup double in 2010, enjoyed a warm greeting from the Stamford Bridge crowd on Sunday.
We did what we were asked to do and we need to act accordingly and trust the experts. United took the lead when Odion Ighalo fired a brilliant volley into the roof of the goal after 28 minutes, but it wasn't until the second half that they started to take control. Daniel James made it two shortly before the hour, and once Mata had put the game beyond doubt Mason Greenwood and Andreas Pereira netted twice more in injury time to complete the rout.
Ashleigh Barty has only dropped one set in this tournament. Ashleigh Barty has won her last three matches against Petra Kvitova. Petra Kvitova struggled to get past Maria Sakkari in the last round. Number one seed Ashleigh Barty continues her bid to win the Australian Open for the first time. The Australian's best previous effort in her home Grand Slam has been a quarter final last year, the only other time she has made it past the third round.
