Let's hope for some better news today. That's a wrap That's it from us on this Easter Sunday. We'll be back up first thing with more from the world of coronavirus and sport. Untill then, ciao! 20:00 - Sporting Lisbon players to take wage cut Players at Sporting Lisbon will have their salaries cut by 40% for three months as the club attempts to mitigate financial losses from the suspension of games during the coronavirus outbreak, Portuguese news agency Lusa reported.
Gabriel Jesus scored twice as Manchester City got back to winning ways in the Premier League with a comfortable victory at Burnley. City had won only once in their previous five games in all competitions to start the day 11 points behind leaders Liverpool. But they were convincing at Turf Moor with Jesus curling home a fine opener for his first goal in 11 games. The Brazilian then volleyed home Bernardo Silva's cross after the break.
So Liverpool might have something to prove against Bournemouth - and they will using their strongest team, playing at their usual intensity. That is why I think the Reds will win, but I am expecting Bournemouth to give this a good go. The main reason I think Liverpool will score some goals is because I can't see the Cherries parking the bus - I don't think that approach works for them. The first 20 minutes of this game will be crucial.
Defender Mings, 27, also claimed players are "commodities in the game". Speaking to the Daily Mail, Mings added: "The motives are possibly 100% financially driven rather than integrity driven. Project Restart is financially driven. I think everybody accepts that. I am all for playing again because we have no other choice. As players, we were the last people to be consulted about Project Restart and that is because of where we fall in football's order of priority.
Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld is trying "to bring a little bit of joy" to those with coronavirus by donating tablets to hospitals and nursing homes. The Belgium international has already paid for dozens of devices and has more on the way for those who are isolated. We are already getting messages from people who can now speak to their families and it has been a real help," he told 5 Live's Euro Leagues show.
Amiens have started legal proceedings for their "unjust" relegation after France's Ligue 1 season was ended early because of the coronavirus crisis. Paris St-Germain were awarded the title last month, with Amiens and Toulouse relegated, after the French government cancelled the 2019-20 sporting season. Amiens were 19th in the table, four points behind Nimes and 10 points ahead of Toulouse, with 10 games to play.
The Tigers head to the New York Stadium chasing a victory, with their recent form impressing many. The Tigers are making a charge for the playoffs, so they might just miss Rotherham next season if all goes well. They’ve moved to within a point of the top six, with a chance to build on that in 2020. However, they’re first facing off with Rotherham in this cup clash.
Istaravshan had an awful start to the new season. They are in deep trouble- the team lost three consecutive games, and to worsen the situation they conceded as many as nine goals. But today's opponent is not that strong and they had a good record against them. I think that we will see a game of attacks. Because they have plenty of experience, and I don't think that here the defense are going to play much part. Both teams should find the net here. It seems to me that it is worth betting on over 2.5 goals in this game. Goal galore can be anticipated.
They remain 22 points clear of City, who have a game in hand, so it will doubtless prove only a bump en route to Liverpool's first English title for 30 years yet such has been the Reds' supremacy this term, it felt more than a minor tremor. Sarr, who pounced twice in the space of six minutes just before the hour, was hailed an "unbelievable talent" by Deeney, who could not help but smile about a victory "nobody had given us a prayer" to achieve.
We need to start getting a Scottish national team that gives us some hope but he's certainly a really talented looking player. I was laughing because I keep getting told that Chelsea want Declan Rice, so I thought well I might just decide I want Billy Gilmour and see how it goes. Moyes - who has taken a 30% pay cut amid the coronavirus pandemic - returned to London on Monday as the Premier League explores plans for action to resume behind closed doors in June.
Premier League clubs previously said they would ask players to take a 30% pay cut in order to protect jobs,However, the Professional Footballers' Association said that would hit tax contributions to the NHS. On Thursday, Southampton became the first Premier League club to announce their players will defer part of their salaries. Francis said the Premier League's request was "hasty" and said discussions at Bournemouth over wage deferrals were "positive.
Match previewSATURDAY Brighton & Hove Albion v Crystal Palace (12:30 GMT)Brighton have not won in 2020, but they are proving hard to beat - they have drawn five of their seven league games this year. Crystal Palace have not been in great form either but I always thought they could come with a result when they really needed it, and they did that when saw off Newcastle last week to end their long wait for a win.

Pochettino, so we understand, wanted rid of them all over the summer, the better to reshape a new squad: young, hungry, and keen. All of which adds up to something very strange: José Mourinho the continuity option. Here to keep the squad together. Here to not spend a fortune and smash everything to pieces.
Is he destined to see out the remainder of his playing days in Turin, would a romantic return to a former club be plausible, or could he explore Major League Soccer before hanging up those golden boots? HAVE YOUR SAY Whether you are Messi, Ronaldo or perhaps neither, now it’s your turn to get involved.
If they were to win the FA Cup, it would be their first trophy since lifting the League Cup in 2008. Boro boss Jonathan Woodgate scored the winner for Spurs in that Wembley final against Chelsea 12 years ago, as part of a team that also included his assistant boss Robbie Keane. Woodgate and Keane's current side, cheered on by 3,700 fans who had travelled down from the north east in the first FA Cup tie at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, made an awful start after a horrible error from Mejias.
Mourinho will have been relieved to see the hosts motor into a two-goal lead inside 15 minutes as his out-of-form team overcame a potential banana skin. There's still a long way to go, but despite being in the last 16 of the Champions League, this competition represents his best chance of securing the silverware he was brought in to deliver.
Keep an eye on him. Kelly selflessly sat drinking until 4am with Keane, Scholes, Berg and some of Keane’s family and friends. If you feel out of it, as Keane did, you might as well get out of it. Ferguson’s intuition had been right; Keane later said it was during that training session that he fully realised what he was going to miss out on.
Government sources indicate the scheme is open to all businesses and it is up to individual clubs to decide whether to apply. But by furloughing non-playing staff while continuing to keep squads on full pay, Spurs, Newcastle United and Norwich City have provoked an inevitable outcry, and also put major pressure on players - and the PFA - to agree to a deal that would see players have their pay deferred or even cut - as has happened at clubs in Europe.
All Champions League and Europa League fixtures scheduled for this week have been called off. There is no indication that an immediate resumption is likely, throwing the complicated football calendar into chaos. The meeting is aimed at finding a way forward.

Since then, Saudi Arabia has barred barred beIN Sports from operating in the kingdom, meaning there is no legal means of watching Premier League football in the country. Responding to the WTO appeal, a beIN Sports spokesperson said: "Having spent the past six weeks telling the world how the WTO ruling was a complete vindication of the kingdom, curiously Saudi Arabia is now appealing a case they say they emphatically won.
This has been mirrored in the response of Hammers fans, despite his success in stabilising the club in his previous spell by guiding them from the relegation places to 13th at the end of the season, winning eight out of 27 league games. It was not enough for West Ham's hierarchy to offer him a long-term deal then, although they have rectified that now. Where he has a problem, with image and credibility, is that miserable record stretching back six years.
The guests are just a relegation candidate with two losses in a row at this moment, it is true they did not score in those two games losing with 4-0 and 2-0 but they have quality in attack and once a goal down they do try to score, they even won a game at Bukairiyah with 3-2 thanks to the fact that the hosts in that game received a red card and they are fine at scoring.
I thought it was a fantastic performance coming away to a Premier League side, especially after the week we have had. We had let ourselves down [with three successive defeats] but we showed the response we wanted and we deserved to win the game, so we have to be happy with that. This courage and attitude is what I wanted to see. We want a competitive squad and people to take their opportunities and this was a performance to be proud of.

Guadalupe and jicaral both the teams are in an incredible shape in this moment. I think that today the hosts can make a very good result and I see them indeed doing a draw.

Guadalupe sit 4th place and collected a total number of 31 points. Jicaral sit 6th place and collected a total number of 30 points. There is many similarities between both sides. Both sides have good attacking power too.

The hosts had 18 corners and visiting goalkeeper Ofir Marciano made a series of good stops to thwart Alfredo Morelos, while Hagi and Joe Aribo came close and Edmundson was denied a second by a goal-line clearance.

Nevertheless, this match will tight from both team due to this match is playoff and surely both team will playing carefully.
