Willian: Ross Barkley may have got the goal that put Chelsea through to the FA Cup semi-finals but the Blues were going nowhere without the guile and craft of Willian. A few days later Willian almost masterminded an impressive comeback against West Ham and would have done so had Chelsea defended better. The Blues are one match away from a Wembley final and chasing a Champions League spot. However, neither of those issues will pose Frank Lampard the same headache as what to do about Willian's future.
The striker has contributed to 34% of Leicester's Premier League goals this season and Rodgers added he hoped it would "ease off over the next couple of days". Job done for Foxes as Hammers struggle West Ham had just 32% of possession and only two shots on targetLeicester were cruising in the first half and came out the blocks firing.
Slovacko and Bohemians meet each other in the Czech liga. Both are mid-table sides and surely it is going to be a close encounter. Slovacko is doing well and only one point behind the championship round places. By winning this clash they can go in the championship places. Slovacko had a 1-1 draw to Opava in last week.
However, if they are to use this platform and go on to challenge for promotion, then they know that they need to turn some of these stalemates into wins as they have already had to share the spoils on 11 occasions this term. It is not as if it is something which has been improving in their recent outings either as they have drawn five of their previous seven league matches.
Former Liverpool star Mark Lawrenson played in plenty of Merseyside derbies himself but he feels Sunday's meeting without fans will be like no other in the fixture's 124-year history. Lawro will be at Goodison Park as co-commentator for BBC Radio 5 Live and said: "Of all the games to be played behind closed doors this weekend, this is going to feel like the strangest one. It is a derby but it won't feel like one in any shape or form.
At the final whistle at Ibrox, Alfredo Morelos' first emotions were those of frustration and not celebration. After time was called on a game that saw Rangers progress to the last 32 of the Europa League as an unseeded team courtesy of a late equaliser from Young Boys, the Colombian marched straight off the pitch and straight up the tunnel. He wasn't in a mood to linger. You have to presume that, once Morelos had a few moments to get over the annoyance of the rather fractious endgame, he would have seen the big picture.
Central Coast Mariners are playing very poor and didn't start the season so as they expected, with just one win in the past five games didn't show any good form from them to compete with the Giants here. After beating Perth Glory their woes continued with many losses to be mentioned against Melbourne City and Adelaide United, they allow a lot of goals and with 38 games without a clean sheet is an A-League record. A clean sheet will not be possible here as I can see.
With Champions League qualification a real possibility this term, Leicester, who have won eight of their last ten league games, will have to keep the good results coming, starting with this weekend's meeting with a Brighton side that are making steady improvements under Graham Potter.
Eddie Howe's team are 18th in the table, three points adrift of safety with only two rounds to play. Worse still, the three teams above them, Brighton, West Ham, and Watford respectively, all have one game in hand at the time of writing. Southampton are in 12th place in the table and while qualifying for European competition is off the table, a top-ten finish is still an attainable goal.
Liverpool could yet finish the campaign with six. At the start of the season, they were in contention for seven - but the first one got away in August as they lost to Manchester City on penalties in the Community Shield. They then beat Chelsea on penalties to win the Uefa Super Cup, and head to the Club World Cup sitting 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League. In addition, they still have the Champions League and the FA Cup to go for, as well as the Carabao Cup - if the players left at home can see off Aston Villa in Tuesday's quarter-final.
Colchester U23 and Bristol City U23 will face each other in the upcoming match in the Professional Development League. Colchester U23 this season have the following results: 4W, 4D and 12L. Meanwhile Bristol City U23 have 6W, 4D and 10L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Aston Villa and Wolves are at completely different extremes. The prospect of having to play in the Championship gradually appears in front of the Villa Park team, although the difference in scores with the safety group is not high, the poor performance makes them unable to break up. On the other side of the team, Wolves are showing their certainty and focus on the tournament, which is reflected in their 6th place position in the rankings. Winning this early series, Santo's team will overtake M.U, the team right above them.
Barcelona dropped to second with 43 points after their loss to Valencia in the last game, and Levante have 26 points, in 13th place. Barcelona lost to Levante in the first leg and will be hoping to avoid another loss here. They recovered from the Valencia loss with a big win over Leganes in the Copa del Rey and they will hope to repeat the same in La Liga.
Verona have not lost any of their last seven matches but here they will have a tougher challenge. They have beaten Genoa, SPAL and Lecce, with four matches ending in draws. They didn’t score in their last match as they drew 0-0 with Lazio, which was the only game in 13 that they failed to score. In the last two matches they have drawn with Milan and Lazio, which shows their mettle.
I'm sure he enjoyed the game and whoever it is is coming to fantastic club with fantastic fans who create an atmosphere like that. Ferguson, who served under Roberto Martinez, Ronald Koeman, Sam Allardyce and Silva, is under no illusions, but he was able to share his joy with his wife and children before heading into his post-match media duties. He said: "The fans wanted a bit of Everton identity and this was a bit of a free hit.
Which is as close as an august body such as IFAB will ever get to writing: “For God’s sake, England, there’s a pitchside monitor right there. Use the bloody thing next time!” In practical terms, the law has been strengthened slightly; the word “often” has been removed, and it now reads: “where a reviewable incident is subjective, the expectation is that the referee will undertake an ‘on-field review’.
I think he might have wanted to box, although I'm glad he never did. Mason Mount's keen interest in boxing was inspired by his maternal grandfather, Bill, a retired tarmacer who was a standout amateur boxer in his youth. The now-86-year-old father of three daughters doted on Mount as though he were the son he never had. He rarely missed one of his grandson's training sessions or matches as Mount's talent for football blossomed.
No. The only team left (you don't count, Leicester and Everton) are. It's obvious. Poch has launched his offensive. He’s coming for you, Ole. Video - Messi and Ronaldo in the same team?! Juventus plot extraordinary summer transfer - Euro Papers01:20 Leeds heading back to the big time? Pochettino's arrival at Brentford v Leeds briefly reminded us that football exists outside of the Premier League - and it's around this time of year that we first glance at the Championship table to see who looks like getting amongst the big time.
Nonetheless, Vicente Moreno's side are just a point above the relegation zone in 17th and that's largely due to their dismal results away from home. Los Bermellones weren't expected to pick up too many results on their travels this season after losing nine times on the road in Segunda last term; however they don't even have a point to their name from six outings.
Everton is not really shy at all at attacking since Ancelotti came in charge and they do have plenty of quality players in both midfield but also in attack with which they score goals recently and create plenty of scoring chances at the same time. Let me just tell you some of their recent games as they lost last round 3-2 away from home at Arsenal with the score being 2-2 by half-time of the game, won 3-2 at Watford where it is really not that easy to score never mind to win as Liverpool lost their first game in the league there yesterday losing the game with 3-0 in the end so they are quite decent up-front.
Middlesbrough will host Swansea City for this fixture of the league. I think, the hosts will try to capitalize on their advantage at home stadium. Yeah, Middlesbrough have a poor results in this season. However, they have better chance to make a positive on the home ground. In any case, the hosts will try to remain unbeaten. On the other hand Swansea is very average team in this season. They probably have a chance to reach for one of the top six places in the table. True, this will not be an easy task. Also, Swansea is not very good team away from home. In any case, they are not convincing team. My pick - Middlesbrough to win.
Another of Dortmund's highly-rated young talents, England forward Jadon Sancho, was restricted to an 11-minute cameo off the bench, because of a calf injury. On-loan Everton full-back Jonjoe Kenny started for Schalke, who brought on Wales winger Rabbi Matondo as one of their five substitutes - two more than usual are permitted under the new regulations for the Bundesliga's restart. There were 30 match balls placed around the stadium, each of them disinfected by ball-boys who placed them on special spots rather than giving them directly to the players The South Stand at Signal Iduna Park holds 25,000 fans and is the biggest free-standing grandstand in Europe.
Wales international Gareth Bale, left out of the Real Madrid squad again for this weekend, was also rumoured to be a possible Spurs target but stays with the Spanish club. Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani, who had been linked with Chelsea and David Beckham's new Major League Soccer club Inter Miami also ended the day staying put at Paris St Germain.
With Germany's Bundesliga having resumed after the coronavirus lockdown, the race for the European Golden Shoe is back on. The French season has been declared over but football is set to return in England, Italy and Spain later this month. Three men have already reached 25 goals in Europe's top five leagues this season but can you name every player to have done so in the past 10 years? There are 32 names to get and you've got 10 minutes.

Newcastle - who have been safe from relegation for weeks - have been in limbo for a long time because of the delayed Saudi Arabian takeover. They had a dream start when Gayle latched onto Shelvey's opportunistic quick free-kick and slotted past Alisson, who got a touch to the ball but could not keep it out. But that would be the only time they touched the ball in the Reds' area in the first half. Liverpool boss Klopp experimented with his selection in their final game of a successful season - with the front three of Salah, Firmino and Mane as well as right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold left on the bench.
Their 1998 Champions League triumph was the first time they had won Europe's top prize, which they have lifted a record 13 times, in 32 years. My father has just passed away.

Above all, it's sparked a mini revolution in the leagues above, with their superior non-league cousins demanding the same outcome: Farewell Willian Has Willian played his last game in England? With his contract due to expire on June 30, and little suggestion it could be renewed, Chelsea have allowed the Brazilian to return home to be with his wife and daughters during these sad times.
Jesus, who last year led Flamengo to the Serie A league title and Copa Libertadores trophy, said he was under the care of the club's medical team.

When we – all the Premier League clubs - last spoke, we agreed to get going again as soon as possible. And that games will run into July, if required, to get the campaign finished. This is the plan. This is what we want to deliver. Players are currently not in training and housebound to comply with social distancing rules currently in place until April 13, when we expect training to restart.
All things considered, backing the Both Teams to Score line simply has to be the way to play as far as the betting is concerned here and is something we're more than happy to do. The aforementioned listed statistics really speak for themselves and with Orient having drawn 3 of their last 4 on the road 1-1; that's not a scoreline that's difficult to imagine showing up once again on Wednesday.
Kroos scores from a corner as Real beat Valencia It was an incident-packed second half that also saw Messi have a goal ruled out by video assistant referee for handball while Gerard Pique should have taken the game to extra time but sent his header over the bar.

A collision course written in the starsThe 2014-15 season started ominously for McCall at Fir Park. His Motherwell team, second the previous season, were out of Europe to Icelandic minnows Stjarnan at the first hurdle. It would prove to be a turning point for both club and coach. We were so successful for those three or four years and were there great moments," McCall told the Four Lads Had a Dream podcast.
How he reacts is up to him and we will deal with it later," Ljungberg said. I'm here on a day-to-day basis but of course we want players [to act] in the right way. I wanted more energy in the team. Ozil, 31, was booed by his own fans as he walked off the pitch to be replaced by 19-year-old Emile Smith Rowe after 59 minutes of Sunday's game. Ljungberg, who was assistant coach under former Gunners boss Unai Emery, was appointed as interim manager following the Spaniard's departure in November.
Dijon may have beaten PSG 2-1 in their penultimate match before the international break but they resumed their 'laughingstock' status the following week as they lost 1-0 away to Monaco. It was their third defeat in four matches in all competitions with six goals conceded in that time and they now sit third bottom in Ligue 1.
It's been a very difficult season. So everything was like when you pull a blanket up and your feet are left out and then you cover your feet but half of your body is out. That's us.

The spot-kick was awarded when former Everton forward Ademola Lookman fouled Matheus Cunha and Piatek calmly finished to deny Leipzig the three points. Leipzig needed to win to go above Borussia Dortmund on goal difference, but the draw means Leipzig are two points behind Dortmund and nine adrift of leaders Bayern Munich. The result also all but ends Leipzig's slim hopes of becoming German champions in only their 11th season in existence.
West Ham United are a club riddled with discontent off the field - the black balloons of protest and the banners criticising the ownership being brandished at Anfield provided hard evidence of the anger - but there were signs of life on it. Manager David Moyes wore a familiar pained expression at the final whistle. It was the 16th time he has disappeared down the tunnel here without the win over Liverpool he craves.
There was more drama to come two weeks later as Chelsea beat Bayern Munich on penalties to become European champions. Cole: "It was a bit of a patch-up job for Roberto Di Matteo in terms of rebuilding confidence and getting our mentality back after the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas. To go to Wembley and beat a great team in Liverpool was a great feat. What would come after with Di Matteo was special.
Daegu have won four of their last six encounters with Incheon. Both sides are under the rule of new managers this season. Incheon finished in 10th place in 2019, narrowly avoiding relegation. Daegu finished in 5th place in 2019, their best-ever finish. The K-League kicks off this weekend sure in the knowledge that it will be taking a large number of new fans along for the ride.
Both clubs are mired in a crisis with Milan, already on to their second coach of the season, languishing in mid table and Napoli's title challenge having apparently run out of steam after barely one third of the season. Runners-up in three of the last four seasons, Napoli have dropped to seventh, 13 points behind leaders Juventus, after a run of five matches without a win in all competitions.
Wolves are still 12 points behind the Europa League place but also a dozen above the relegation zone. Unless they have a spectacular run of good or bad form, their main target this season is going to win the FA Cup and qualify for the Europa League. They had gone eight league games without a win before beating Arsenal in midweek.
