The visitors dispensed of Monk in the summer, causing outrage from many. The manager had achieved plenty with his former side, but the Blues made claims about some behind the scenes issues which distorted the picture. Both sides have quickly moved on, with Birmingham in 15th under Pep Clotet. Meanwhile, Monk has guided his side to within four points of the playoffs.

The Argentinean coach has revolutionised Atletico's fortunes over the past nine years. But their form has nosedived this season, culminating in an embarrassing Copa del Rey elimination at the hands of third-tier side Cultural Leonesa last week. Winless in their last four in all competitions, having drawn nine of their 21 La Liga games this season, they dropped out of the top four at the weekend.
Manchester City have spoken to the Premier League about their Christmas fixture programme after being asked to play twice in less than 48 hours. City have just 46 hours 15 minutes between the start of their matches at Wolves on 27 December and at home to Sheffield United on 29 December. The Blades have 75 hours from kick-off at their 26 December home match with Watford to the start of the City game.
Sheffield United's hopes of qualifying for Europe were frustrated as Neal Maupay marked his return to Brighton by equalising. Enda Stevens' rasping finish put the Blades in control but the lead was short-lived as Maupay got in front of Dean Henderson to nod the visitors level. Lewis Dunk missed a glorious chance to put the visitors ahead after the Blades lost Stevens to injury. John Fleck, who signed a new Sheffield United contract until 2023 before kick-off, went close from distance but Brighton were full value as they secured a third successive draw.
Deulofeu scored the spot-kick. What was the match outcome? The Spaniard's 80th-minute goal proved only to be a consolation as Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic gave Chelsea a 2-1 victory. What they said: "We're not in a great place with it," said Blues boss Frank Lampard. Any [decision] that takes that long means they aren't sure, so why aren't we using screens on side of pitch?"But if we are saying they are grey areas and we are overturning decisions because one referee somewhere else thinks it was more of a penalty than the referee on the pitch, then I think we are in a really dangerous place.
Chrudim pretty much lost all hope about a possible top 3 finish by losing last round with 2-1 away at Vlasim and they did have some scoring chances at 1-1 to take the lead but in the end they were on the losing end. Still at home not that they have defended that well either because they drew 2-2 with Hradec Kralove who can be quite toothless in attack in their away games, and also won 4-3 with Jihlava, but still very good attack to score so many goals in home games against teams fighting for promotion at this stage.
MarchUefa postpones the Champions League and Europa League finals, scheduled for 30 May and 27 May respectively, as well as the Women's Champions League final, which was due to take place on 24 May. Premier League clubs Manchester City and Chelsea are both still in the Champions League, while Manchester United and Wolves remain in the Europa League. MarchNewcastle become the first Premier League club to place all its non-playing staff on temporary leave using the government's coronavirus job retention scheme.
Schweinfurt will welcome Rain / Lech in German Regional league Bayern State in the round 21 league game. The host are still trying to accumulate points to catch up with leaders Turkgucu Munchen whom are with 47 points as leaders.

And even when Cesar Azpilicueta poked home what looked like a winner for Chelsea, Arsenal didn’t give in, eventually getting their second equaliser of the night through Hector Bellerin, of all people. Will this game be a turning point for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal? The day they discovered they could actually play football, or at least scrap effectively enough to make it look like they could play football? Or will it be a false dawn, like all the other false dawns? Who knows, but for now it was extremely heartening for them.
We place the utmost importance on a strong culture within our club, beginning in our locker room, and that every person connected with FC Cincinnati feels valued, respected and trusted. A complaint was made on Friday by the Major League Soccer Players Association, which said Jans made "extremely inappropriate comments" and called for an investigation of the incident.
For much of the season we’ve reserved praise for Bristol City, a side who seemed to have addressed their consistency from last season. However, the Robins have lost three games on the spin to dent their chances of making the playoffs. It was these poor runs last season which caused problems for Lee Johnson’s side.
With a few draws of people in the same area of the table as us, it was very important to get three points. We still have an eye on fourth. It was a match where you know the quality of the opponent. You want to win, but you can lose. I'm delighted with the boys. His counterpart, Man City boss Pep Guardiola, was left to bemoan his side's bad luck, with Spurs being outplayed for much of the game before Oleksandr Zinchenko's red card sparked a collapse which saw Steven Bergwijn and Son Heung-min score two goals in quick succession.
SolskjaerGetty Images Edinson Cavani, Odion Ighalo, Dries Mertens, Teemu Pukki, Islam Slimani, Salomon Rondon, Danny Ings and King have all been linked to United over the past couple of weeks. Woodward appears to be like a kid that in a candy store who has stolen their parents’ wallets. More choice and money than he can possibly know what to do which in turn results in the sort of slap-dash approach that we can see now.
However, the introduction of Kamberi at half-time changed things. He provided a different option, and came short to set up a good chance for Scott Arfield just a few minutes before beautifully volleying in the equaliser from James Tavernier's early cross, his first Rangers goal. The on-loan Hibs forward gave St Johnstone something different to think about by running across defenders who had comfortably held Rangers at arm's length throughout the first half.
Leicester will assess winger Harvey Barnes, who suffered an ankle problem against Manchester City. Midfielder Matty James, who has not featured since January because of an Achilles injury, is back in training but not yet available. Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is ruled out after damaging ankle ligaments at the Fifa Club World Cup. Fabinho, Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip all remain out.
Interestingly, while Peterborough are the fourth-best home team in League 1, Burton are the fourth-best travelling team. Only three teams have claimed more travelling points than the Brewers, who've not been easy to beat on their travels. Again, much like Peterborough at home, Nigel Clough's men haven't been defensively efficient, conceding a rather chunky 13, though they've scored 15, which is the second-highest total in the division, which has allowed them steadily accumulate points.
Sticking to his original plan, he initially decided to keep his diagnosis private. Alex was touring in Plymouth so I packed a bag, picked up the dog and jumped in the car," he said. She called me on the journey to say she hadn't heard from me much, and I just said I was fine because I didn't want to ruin her weekend. The first person I told was one of my best friends. It was a very emotional phone call - I don't think I've ever cried to my friends before.
The KNVB was among 55 members of European football’s governing body who on Wednesday discussed possible next steps for football on the continent following the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The KNVB issued a statement saying it would follow UEFA’s desire to try and complete the season, even if it meant re-starting the suspended campaign in mid-June and playing through into August.
The deal sparked outrage at a time when the FA were campaigning for mental health, and the betting companies then offered to give up their exclusivity. But the controversy reinforced fears football is being used to normalise gambling among young fans via sponsorship of shirts, and advertising at matches and during TV coverage. Half of all Premier League clubs have betting firms as shirt sponsors, with the figure rising to 15 in the Championship.
Freiburg will play with strong and famous team Bayer Leverkusen. Hosts did 2 draws and defeat at the last 3 games played. Bayer did 2 wins and defeat at the last games played. Guests are favorites here. But my bet will be on hosts here. Freiburg has a birthday tomorrow. They have a big motivation to get some points with famous team. Freiburg did 2 draws at the last two h2h games here. It is very possible to see a draw again. My bet on hosts with AH +1 . I recommend to try this bet with me in this game !
Hello everyone. Football. Korea. To League. Jeonbuk - Suwon. Jeonbuk starts in the championship as a champion, who will obviously strive to defend, and the hosts will focus only on victory. Suwon is quite a convenient opponent for the hosts, plus the difference in class is also noticeable. Suwon on the road plays very weakly, and the guests have few chances of success. I think that Jeonbuk will take control of the ball from the first minutes, and will constantly attack, and in the end they will squeeze the guests. In his field, Jeonbuk clearly plans to start with a victory.

So it didn’t come as a huge surprise when health secretary Matt Hancock used a portion of his address to the nation yesterday to take a pop at Premier League footballers for having failed to “play their part” by not yet agreeing an industry-wide pay cut in response to the coronavirus crisis. I think that everybody needs to play their part in this national effort and that means Premier League footballers too,” said Hancock.

As the defending champion of the tournament, Dinamo Brest's performance this season did not match the expectation. After 10 rounds, they only got 9th place and 9 points behind the top team. In the middle of the week, Dinamo Brest has just been removed from the National Cup arena.
The first goal scored in the new stadium was an own goal from unfortunate Antlers defender Tomoya Inukai in the 18th minute before Kobe striker Noriaki Fujimoto added a second 20 minutes later following some more poor defending. Saturday's win marks the first time in their history that Kobe have their hands on some silverware and vindicates the high wages forked out by owner Hiroshi Mikitani in recent years.
You need to be lucky but I have always tried to give myself the best opportunity. Diet and gym work, I did all that early in my career as Leeds. I have always tried to push myself and always having to work and grind has definitely helped my mental strength. That competitive streak was always driven into me as a kid. I wanted to be the best and at the front.

The opening game at the Bridge saw Alexis Sanchez lob against the crossbar and Cesc Fabregas have one scrambled off the line before that man Didier Drogba steered Chelsea ahead. Pedro hit the post but Chelsea held on to take a slender lead to Spain where, truly against the odds, Pep, Messi et al were beaten by Roberto Di Matteo's team. One of the finest second legs ever? Before last season, sure. Messi was at his absolute best, leading Chelsea's defence a merry dance with some blinding one-twos and mesmeric dribbling and, while Petr Cech denied the talisman, it was anchorman Sergio Busquets who popped up with a tap-in to level the aggregate scores.
Over a million people watch live football at a ground every week, and having spoken to fans across the country, I know that safe standing is an issue many feel passionately about," he said. As we made clear in our election manifesto, we will work with fans and clubs towards introducing safe standing at football grounds. However, it is imperative that football remains as safe as it has become over the past 25 years.
I have decided to award guarani an asian handicap of two goals for them to be able to solidify their cup qualification. Guarani enter this bout having won the first led by a goal to nit this emphasizes the fact that they are capable of handling Corinthians and can be able to defeat them at away. Corinthians however will be seeking to progress in their cup tie by attempting to upset guarani at home and defeat them by scoring more goals as they were defeated in the first leg .I predict that overall guarani will win with help from the handicap
Spain and the Netherlands became the latest nations to suspend all matches. Spanish giants Real Madrid put its squad into quarantine after a member of the club's basketball team tested positive on Thursday and their Champions League, last 16 clash at Manchester City next week has been postponed. Given the circumstances that are coming to light this morning, referring to the quarantine established in Real Madrid and the possible cases in players from other clubs, La Liga considers it appropriate to continue to the next phase of the protocol of action against COVID-19," Spain's La Liga said.
Borussia Dortmund will against Freiburg in match Germany Bundesliga. My prediction this match could be the won for Borussia Dortmund with margin score is 3 goals. Borussia Dortmund have great result on last 3 match in league due to Borussia Dortmund have won in 2 match and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Freiburg have also better result on last 3 match in league due to Freiburg have won in 1 match, 1 match is lose and 1 match is draw. Nevertheless, I'm sure that Borussia Dortmund can beat Freiburg on this match due to Borussia Dortmund on last 3 match in the home always can make score 5 goals and 4 goals. Therefore, this match could be win for Borussia Dortmund with margin score is 3 goals.
That is really outrageous. Valloni said it was premature to consider salary cuts and that clubs should look for more wide-ranging solutions. I think it was a bad sign, a wrong sign, and not a sign for solidarity," he said. Even before Sion did that, we were looking to find a solution for everybody and players were ready to help the clubs but salary reduction is premature.
By the time the two teams were still playing in the Iranian First Division, Foolad had very positive results against Machine Sazi. In the last 3 confrontations, Foolad got 2 wins at home and 1 away result. That more or less brings advantage to Foolad when it continues to have a fulcrum at its home.

Bedoya was a winner, a history maker who played for and won titles with the best teams in Argentina as well as Colombia. For me, it was privilege to share a dressing room with him, with somebody who achieved great things in his career. I enjoyed it a lot and I have lots of good memories. Bedoya's world record does not appear under threat any time soon. Of those still with a chance of eclipsing his tally, Real Madrid and Spain defender Sergio Ramos is closest following his 26th dismissal against Manchester City in the Champions League in February.
Ultimately, we're not expecting this fixture to be a dull one and goals and action at both ends looks highly likely. Monterrey themselves are a very attacking outfit and 4 of their last 5 Liga MX home games have ended with both sides scoring; a streak that is highly likely to continue against an aggressive America team.
In order for us [the PFA] to be able to protect those players in terms of securing their salaries, if that's the only offer we have on the table to complete the season, then that is what it will be. Too soon to consider games behind closed doors - NevilleLiverpool defender Virgil van Dijk, whose side are 25 points clear at the top of the Premier League, said he would be "gutted" for the club's fans if they were absent when the Premier League title was secured.
SAVE! Oblak to the rescue again for Atleti. Alexander-Arnold with another brilliant cross, Firmino is there at the back post, but he close range effort is blocked by Oblak. DOUBLE SAVE! All happening here. On the break, Felix carries it forward, drills for goal, Adrian gets a hand to it but cannot palm the ball clear, Correa is there to meet the loose ball, but Adrian flings himself at the feet of Correa to make the block with his face! 66’ - CROSSBAR! So close for Liverpool.
Nov 25 (Reuters) - The owners of Olympique Lyonnais are in talks to buy National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) franchise Reign FC, according to the Washington State-based club, bringing added clout to the team amid an explosive year for U. S. OL Groupe is expected to close the deal before the end of January next year, with current Reign FC owners Teresa Predmore and Bill Predmore retaining a minority stake in the club.
So why this shortage of goals? Well, it cannot help that they simply do not shoot enough. Their tally of 247 efforts is the joint fewest in the top flight - level with Newcastle and Sheffield United having played a game more - and they also got the joint fewest on target - 79, level with Sheffield United. Only once in their past 20 league outings have they managed more than four attempts on target.
