In Germany, Borussia Dortmund crashed their own website when they released a surprise special edition, black-and-silver kit earlier this month which celebrates the area's coal-mining and steel-producing past, and commemorates a year since the closure of the final mine in the Ruhr Valley. While in the North West Counties League Premier Division, the ninth tier of English football, 1874 Northwich have been selling out of a viral design that features some of the town's Tudor architecture.
In two or three weeks we'll know about the sentence from Uefa and if we can play in it or not," he said. But now I'm focusing on Burnley. Once we are clear for qualification for the Champions League, I will look at some ideas in my head to prepare for the game against Real Madrid. All but one of Atalanta's home league games have seen over 2.5 goals scored.
Five of Sociedad's last six outings at Reale Arena have produced over 2.5 goals with both teams scoring, with the same applying to seven of Villarreal's last eight away matches. Sociedad have averaged a fraction over two goals per game at home this season but have kept just two clean sheets at the other end, whilst Villarreal have netted in all nine of their away outings, conceding in seven.
But in a letter seen by BBC Sport, Masters tells Cengiz's lawyer: "I assure you and your client that her representations are being fully considered in our process. Moral values should prevail'Fans vow to raise Saudi issues despite support for dealCengiz's legal team say it is the first acknowledgment by the Premier League that her views are being taken into account in the takeover, which is being checked under its owners' and directors' test.
Follow it here! We'll be back bright and early tomorrow for more glorious updates from the world of football. Can't wait? Get the below anthem in your ears. It's almost back in your lives. Feyenoord fans banned from Porto trip Feyenoord have been banned from selling tickets to their fans for next month's Europa League game at Porto following crowd trouble in their match at Young Boys in Basel, UEFA said on Monday.
Cholet is in the middle of the table and this is someone who plans to stay there and keep the end of the season quiet so he doesn't think they will stay in the league or not. They will just open up to attack and go for three points because they play at home and play against a weaker team than themselves. When it comes to the guest it is the team which is at the bottom of the standings and this is a team that has a great chance of falling out of the league. You could also try the 1-to-1 transition here.
The fact they shook off a poor start when the Premier League resumed to earn 10 points from 12 in their previous four matches was a testament to their durability and craft. But after three wins over teams above them, they found Leicester a more difficult task. Although they made a good start where David McGoldrick fired over from George Baldock's cross, they were second best for much of the first half, as Leicester's players, set up in a 3-4-3 formation continually asked questions of the Blades' resolute defence.
Did you know? As well as making more blocks than any other Everton player (two), Holgate gave the ball away on fewer occasions (six) than any other Toffees player. Indeed, he also completed four tackles - only once before has he managed more during a Premier League match (five v West Ham in April 2017). Victor Lindelof: The block by Victor Lindelof on Kevin de Bruyne was crucial if not a game changer.
The option of holding the matches without spectators was also discussed," said the SFL in a statement. The clubs decided against this step for economic reasons and because there are currently still enough alternative dates available. The Swiss league has two divisions of 10 teams each with an average attendance of just over 11,000 in the top flight.
Lazio Roma are in excellent form in the league with a 12-3-0 record in the last 15 games and at home Lazio Roma have scored at least 3 goals in 5 of the last 6 games. Against Hellas Verona Lazio also have a good scoring record scoring at least 2 goals in each of the last 8 meetings at home.

The Swede previously played for them between 2010 and 2012. Napoli's season is threatening to come apart following a rift between coach Carlo Ancelotti and his squad on one side and the club on the other. The club has threatened to take legal action after the players refused to be confined to a week-long training camp following a 2-1 defeat to AS Roma earlier this month.
In the betting, a home win is hard to oppose. Specifically, 'Marseille to Win & Under 3.5 Goals' catches the eye. Bordeaux aren't mugs, but they've not made light work of getting the job done of late, winning none of their last three on the road. They don't concede an abundance of goals, nor has there been an abundance of goals in their recent away matches, but they seemingly lack Marseille's knack of coming out on top. Marseille have won each of their last four at home, all of which have seen less than four goals go in, while they are the team (out of these two) that are better at restricting the opposition and bettering them in terms of shots and shots on target. All in all, a low-scoring win for the hosts stands out as the best option.
Do Everton understand the calibre of man they've got - do Everton fans understand?"Shearer: "I think they do understand. In terms of how lucky Everton are to have someone of that ability tells you what must have been said to him to entice him into the club. When you look at his record, it is sensational wherever he's been. He won the league with Chelsea and scored 103 goals in doing so. Rafael Benitez (Liverpool 2004-2010, Chelsea 2012-2013, Newcastle 2016-2019)Games: 340 Won: 168 Drawn: 82 Lost: 90 Win ratio: 49.
Gennaro Gattuso and Quique Setién took charge of their first Champions League games tonight – it is the first time in Champions League history that two managers are facing in the knockout stages in their first ever games in the competition. Dries Mertens scored his 121st goal for Napoli across all competitions, equalling Marek Hamsik as the joint-top scorer in the club’s history.
He's come in and been a leader in the group. I've been impressed. Solskjaer said fifth-placed United were heading into the clash at Anfield full of confidence despite losing 3-1 on their last visit. The last two performances we've had against Liverpool, we've drawn twice (at home) and been closest to winning both those games," the Norwegian added.
Indeed, the side have been struggling in recent weeks and have also had to deal with boss Gerhard Struber's departure to Barnsley. All in all, Wolfsberger have won just 2 of their last 10 matches, losing 7 times in the process and having also fell to defeat in 5 of their last 6 fixtures, confidence is very low in visiting ranks coming into the game
I see this as an excellent game to make some money on as Stockport defeated Halifax on 25th December with no less than 5-1 at home, and lately they are in very good scoring form also winning 5-1 away at Torquay recently, 2-2 draw at Bromley, 2-1 win at both Barnet and Fylde which are decent sides and also a 2-1 loss for them on the road at Aldershot, so they are really open type of team and we can expect them to both score and concede once more in this one with them likely to be winning all 3 points at the end.
It's just important that you trust in your own process and that if it's meant to be it will happen," said England. You have to learn when it's right to be critical and when to just give yourself a break because we're still human beings at the end of the day and as much as you want to win everything, sometimes it is just not meant to be. This is a tough environment to be in - any sport is. You make a lot of sacrifices and there are a lot of things that you feel you give up and not necessarily get the rewards for.
It is about who is going to go out and who is going to come in to the Premier League. It is about the clubs down below, those who want to get into the Football League. Who goes up and down will affect their finances and livelihoods. To turn around and say it is all gone, they cannot forget all the money those teams have outlayed trying to get promoted from various divisions.
Seoul E really conceded a lot of goals last season finishing somewhere near the bottom of the league table and especially in games against top sides they ended up conceding a lot of goals but they were not that toothless up-front often scoring goals even against top sides, still I feel the opening odds of 2.60 on Jeju Utd to win this game were a big mistake as Jeju Utd may have finished bottom in the first league level last season, but this club even played several times in the AFC Champions League over the past decade, and only last season they were really poor.
That was their best chance of the game. Stanislas looked rusty on his first appearance since April, giving away possession needlessly at one stage to start a Brighton attack, although he was the only other Bournemouth player to test Ryan. Dominic Solanke is soon approaching the year anniversary of his £19m move from Liverpool but has yet to score for the club. He had a good chance to get a shot away but took too much time and was well tackled by Lewis Dunk.
Initially this was a two-legged affair between the European Cup and Cup Winners' Cup holders of the previous season. Occasionally the Super Cup did not take place at all; Bayern Munich and Liverpool pulled out in 1974 and 1981 respectively, claiming fixture congestion. Now it's an early-season taster for the action to come and has found its place in the European calendar. Winner: 1 pointSince 1956, a total of 172 clubs have reached a European semi-final and so make it to the full list.
It's highly likely that both teams will view this game as an opportunity to do better. Neither team has thrived this season, so it's not overly easy to fancy either to come out on top, though at the prices, the hosts do appeal. Stevenage have found wins very hard to come by, but they've looked very solid at home in recent games, which is not something that can be said for Oldham. This defensive solidity could make all the difference on Tuesday evening. The hosts have struggled for goals, but if they can continue to keep things tight, then it would no surprise if they snuck ahead against a Oldham side that concedes plenty of goals, especially on the road.

It's one of those home fixtures you wrap up 2/3-0 before swiftly focusing on the next task, but instead there is growing unrest. Arteta has the obvious pull of being an ex-captain, but more so because he is Pep Guardiola’s understudy. However, leaving Pep to take on the task of turning Arsenal’s fortunes around is not an easy first solo project to take up.
Following the 0-0 draw that this pair played out at Spotland, Boston manager Craig Elliot stated that he wasn't overly pleased with the result, despite his side holding League One opposition away from home. On reflection, it's not too difficult to see what the sixth-tier boss meant. His side bettered their hosts in terms of both shots and shots on target and had some good scoring chances, had one of them been taken, Boston would be in the third round already.
The away side have got some previous on that front. They head into this clash having seen under 2.5 goals in 86% of their away trips in the league this term. None of their last six have seen over 2.5 goals, while only two of their last 12 have finished with three goals scored. Given that Fiorentina have seen the majority of their home league games finish with under 2.5 goals, we expect them to go the same way here.

For us to not receive further punishment is testament to their belief.

Isloch is having one of the better youth should in the recent years, and they should be able to claim good position in this season of Belarus reserve league. They are going to face Slavia, which is not at the level of the top half teams in the league, and could have issues to avoid big loss here.
Last week was a good example of why they should be worried. They have now lost to Spurs twice this season and feel as if they are hard done by because they have given them a good game each time, but they have conceded three goals in each of those matches. That has to change, but Villa have the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City next week and their manager Dean Smith can motivate his players by telling them that they are playing for a place at Wembley.
WEDNESDAY’S BIG STORIES #MourinhoIN Video - 'I wanted to invite ball boy to celebrate with us!' - Mourinho00:20 Worst VAR decision yet? VAR: helping referees escape stadiums alive since 2018. What do you do if you have second thoughts after awarding a penalty against Real Madrid, sending off their goalkeeper for good measure, at the Bernabeu? Simple: just rewind the match footage until you can find the smallest of infringements, wipe out everything that occurred after that point and pretend football still has a crumb of credibility.
Domzale were one of the league favorites, and the third team behind Olimpija and Maribor for long period of time. However, team experienced financial issues in this season, and now are fighting to avoid relegation from the league. They are again second bottom team, after Triglav made victory in the Velenje against Rudar.
The five-times world champions were due to kick off their campaign at home to Bolivia on March 27 and then fly to Lima to play Peru four days later.

Redmond smashed home in the 22nd minute when he was played in behind the Palace defence by Jack Stephens. Southampton doubled their lead when Armstrong whipped in a curling effort after 48 minutes. Palace huffed and puffed in response but Saints held firm to move a place and a point above their hosts into ninth on 31 from 24 games.
He is exactly what you need as a captain. He wasn't someone everybody liked, but you don't need to like the captain. He led - and what it means on the pitch is what it is all about.

All things considered, backing a Porto win in combination with both teams scoring looks well worth a play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we're more than happy to do. Porto should have far too much quality for Varzim over the 90 minutes but we fancy the visitors to score at least once, with a 3-1 margin of home victory on the cards.
The FA described it as "a significant moment" and - with the Euros coming up this summer - one that "will greatly benefit club and country".

Even though the results were very good we knew that there was room for improvement in the team's play and we spoke to Valverde about this and in the last few days we had told him that the team needed to improve. Barcelona romped to the league title in Valverde's first two seasons, finishing way ahead of nearest challengers Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
Nobody sends you a video of a bad player'Hearts manager Robbie NeilsonI'm not 100% sure what is happening with the window. I think it opened for a few days, then it will close again, then it will try to tie in with the English window. But I think it will cause us problems, because we'll close and the English window will stay open. The whole balance has changed. There are loads of players available because of the finances and there are very few clubs who are willing to bring them in, so your bargaining position now is a lot stronger.
We don't think that Sergio's side will be quite good enough to overcome a Sevilla side who go into this fixture unbeaten in seven across all competitions; however we think Pucela can hold Sevillistas to a 1-1 draw, with under 2.5 goals also forecasted.
Football match from brazil, campeonato amapaense, round 2, between Santana EC and Ypiranga AP. Ypiranga AP won their first match 1:0 vs Macapa, however Santana EC lost 3:1 vs Santos AP. We really cannot compare these two teams after 1 match, however all I know is they tend to play attacking football. Ypiranga AP is probably the better team, however Santana EC plays at home this time, so they will have a little bit of advantage. For that reason, I decided to bet on this match on goals, I expect at least 3 goals, so my bet is over 2.5 goals.
Leicester fc are travelling away to play Brighton fc. Leicester are in really good form and they will create a lot of chances, I expect them to win this match being 2nd of the league they want to maintain their winning streak and of course try and close the gap with Liverpool. I think Brighton could score a goal but overall Leicester will be team to win this match, it will be hard for Brighton to stop Leicester for the whole 90 minutes we do know Leicester fc will create a lot of chances and are normally very clinical in front of the goal
