There will, of course, be tougher tests to come - not least the prospect of Real Madrid in the Champions League last 16 in exactly a month's time - but Guardiola will have been grateful for the chance to rest so many key players while advancing with such ease. A brutal reality check for FulhamFulham are third in the Championship and have improved recently, notably knocking Aston Villa out of the FA Cup in the third round.
The last time Spurs hosted German opposition, Bayern Munich beat them 7-2. Both Tottenham and RB Leipzig only kept two clean sheets from their six group stage matches. RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner has scored 25 goals in all competitions this season. The Champions League knockout stages kick off this week and Tottenham have a tricky tie on their hands as they play host to RB Leipzig.
There has not been a game played in the English top flight since Monday last week, when Leicester City beat Aston Villa 4-0, with fixtures being abandoned over the last week and a half. The first game to be called off was Manchester City against Arsenal last Wednesday, and then the entire league was postponed on Friday after Gunners boss Mikel Arteta and Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi tested positive for coronavirus.
Kepa's time at Stamford Bridge doesn't need to be cut short. He's still only 25 years old and the start of his Premier League career can easily be compared to his compatriot David De Gea, who had a torrid time in his first few years at Manchester United before becoming one of the best stoppers in the world.
We try to educate them in many ways, but this is something I'm not too bothered about. Maddison has been tipped to earn a spot in Gareth Southgate's England squad having scored nine goals this season to help Leicester to third spot in the Premier League. Rodgers added: "There's two different mindsets, a social mindset and a professional mindset. The top ones, professionally, have the mentality to do it every single day and look after themselves and then produce.

Howard Kendall's young side raced to the 1984-85 league title with 90 points, 13 clear of Liverpool. They added the European Cup Winners' Cup in Rotterdam, defeating Bayern Munich en route and were only denied a treble by a Norman Whiteside wonder-goal in the FA Cup final. That summer Kendall added Gary Lineker to his champions for an assault on the European Cup. But the Toffees' European Cup hopes would be over before they began.
Just as they did last season, the Royals are responding to their change in manager. The visitors are now into 14th place in the season, having sacked a manager who was seen as their saviour. The departure of Jose Gomes came after another tough season, but the Royals are now making great strides under his replacement, Mark Bowen.
THURSDAY’S BIG STORIES #PlayersTogether Everybody’s coping with their enforced home time in different ways. Some have been baking bread. Others have been spending time with the Duolingo owl. But Jordan Henderson, ever busy even when he’s got nothing to do, is spear-heading an initiative of more than 150 Premier League footballers together to donate money to the NHS.
Six goals were shared to leave the title race tantalisingly poised. The best of those came from a familiar source with 16 minutes to play as Chelsea’s Beth England, with seemingly nothing on, picked out the top corner with a rasping drive from 30 yards out. England’s screamer put Chelsea 3-2 up and, though Lauren Hemp’s equaliser earned City a share of the spoils, the draw kept the Blues’ unbeaten league record intact.
In the past United needing a striker would have brought the agents of the best in the world out of the woodwork but now it’s an assorted mis-match of whatever Woodward pulled out of the Pick N’ Mix. It doesn’t matter if it’s King or Ighalo (as now seems more likely) the point still stands, United are a rudderless ship and their attempts to paper over the cracks in the hull are pathetic at best.

Kalmar will against Jonkopings Sodra in match Sweden Club friendlies. My prediction this match could be the win for Kalmar with margin score is 2 goals. Kalmar have great result on last 7 match due to Kalmar have won in 5 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Jonkopings Sodra have not good result on last 7 match due to Jonkopings Sodra only have won in 2 match, 1 match is draw and 4 match is lose. Therefore, I think that Kalmar can beat Jonkopings Sodra on this match. Moreover on dated 1 March 2020 Kalmar has just beat Jonkopings Sodra with score 5-0. Surely Kalmar have more chance to win on this match.
Still, fair or not, this was another grim evening for Chelsea, who haven’t won in four and who a few months ago were comfortably clear in the Champions League places, ten points ahead of Manchester United. Now, they have only a one point buffer to fifth, and are only three in front of United. And as an added quirk from this game, United’s win meant that Liverpool have officially qualified for the 2020/21 Champions League, in February, the day before the 2019/20 Champions League knockout stages start.

I know there was a lot of talk about it and tension," he says.

We've got a fantastic medical team who give guidance to the players and staff. Nationally, it's been made clear what the symptoms are.

ZURICH, March 11 (Reuters) - The policy of playing soccer matches without spectators as a way of keeping the show on the road during the coronavirus outbreak has been widely questioned on health grounds and because of the surreal atmosphere it creates in empty stadiums. The next round of games in the top flight of the French, Spanish and Portuguese leagues will be played without fans as will some Bundesliga matches.
The Catalan giants have been a different animal altogether at home, however, winning a perfect seven from seven and smashing in 30 goals in total. Valverde's men have won all but one of those matches by a three goal margin or more, including successes against Valencia (5-2) and Sevilla (4-0).
Like Klopp, Werner is wary of getting ahead of himself, even if Pep Guardiola, manager of a Manchester City side that are a distant second, has already accepted defeat in his attempt to win three successive championships. The level of competition in this league is so great eventually you think you are going to have an off day," said Werner. But that hasn't happened yet, which is a great compliment to Jurgen because obviously, the team is playing at peak talent every week.

Gomelzheldortrans will against Khimik Svetlogorsk in match Belarusia Pershaya. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals due to Gomelzheldortrans on last 6 match in club friendlies can make total score is 18 goals. Meanwhile, Khimik Svetlogorsk on last 3 match in club friendlies only can make score is 1 goal. Therefore, my prediction this match can be the end score is more than 3 goals.

Like any responsible employer concerned for its workers in the current situation, the club continues to prepare for a range of different scenarios, around when football can return to operating as it did before the pandemic. These scenarios range from best case to worst, and everything in between. It is an unavoidable truth that several of these scenarios involve a massive downturn in revenue, with correspondingly unprecedented operating losses.
We’re confident that both teams will score on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of VVV. The hosts might not have as many points on the board as their guests but they have performed to a decent standard at home, which is more than can be said for Emmen who have only secured one point on the road. Neither side have looked good at the back in recent weeks but both teams have been scoring on a regular basis which should make for an entertaining ninety minutes.
Let's stay home, reduce the risks associated with the spread of coronavirus, protect ourselves and our loved ones," they said in a statement. Before the match started, the Neman players applauded the empty stands in support for spectators staying away. The Belarus football federation initially explained its decision to continue because only a small number of coronavirus cases had been recorded in the eastern European country, but more recently they have declined comment.
If he can't be trusted to turn up on time though then it is only right that other players are given the nod ahead of him until he becomes more responsible.

Benfica have won just three of their last 11 league matches and they have not done so well away from home recently. The title chase is slipping away and they can’t afford to drop any more points at this stage of the season. Unfortunately, they play away to a Famalicao side that has been impressive since football returned, and with ambitions of their own. One thing though, both teams have not been the strongest in defence and we may see goals on both ends here. Benfica have one clean sheet away from home in the last eight matches and Famalicao have one clean sheet in their last eight league games at home. Benfica have also not won a lot of their away matches lately and though they will still be favorites here, we feel a draw is the most likely result in this game.
