FIFA added the competition would have the potential to generate a revenue of $3 billion over a five-year cycle – and would also create the conditions for African football to be able to retain some of most talented players on the continent. CAF currently organises two continental competitions for clubs – the CAF Champions League, for domestic champions plus runners-up from the bigger leagues, and the CAF Confederation Cup for lower-ranked teams.
Even with their domestic failures, Emery’s side remain unbeaten in all competitions at home this season, and they have scored at least two goals in eight of their 10 matches. Frankfurt, meanwhile, have shipped two or more goals in five of their nine away games since the Bundesliga season started, so we think backing Arsenal Over 1.5 Team Goals looks a great choice here.
Millwall have been impressive under Rowett, but they have only lost twice across their last 10 matches. Their improving form has been building for a while, which gives them a great chance here. With Birmingham scoring just twice in their last three, failing to win in four, we expect the visitors to take something out of this game. Millwall Double Chance is our pick for this one.
Rivals Real Madrid have beaten them on four occasions - including both finals - while Juventus were the victors last season, with Ronaldo scoring a second-leg hat-trick. The last English team to knock them out of a European tie was League One side Bolton - under Gary Megson in 2008. Atletico lost talisman Antoine Griezmann to Barcelona last summer but have cemented a new hero at the other end of the pitch in the guise of Oblak.
Palace have slipped to 14th place after managing one win in their last 10 matches this season while ninth-placed Everton can extend their unbeaten run to five matches. Palace are without a clean sheet in nine matches but have conceded more than one goal only twice in that run. Brighton & Hove Albion v Watford (1730) *Watford are looking for only their second Premier League win over Brighton in their sixth meeting.
Jurgen Klopp spent four years building his team and they're doing well now," said the Norwegian. It's not going be a quick fix - eight or 10 players in the transfer window. We can't react to all the noise outside. There'll be criticism - you've got to take it, you've got to be stronger mentally. I am, the club is. The staff are very strong mentally and we're sticking to what we believe in. I've got full faith.
This is the last chance for Ostrava side to make any move toward the first challenger in the fight to avoid relegation, and they should pull from all power for the victory in Sokolov, against Banik here. Host is few points above, but they are not having much better shape, and should not be big favorite in this duel.
I'm just here for Everton. It was an unbelievable experience. One I'll never forget. We want the very best managers in the world at Everton Football Club. It's one game. It's one result. The win moved Everton away from the relegation zone with most of their rivals playing on Sunday. At the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, Spurs delivered exactly the sort of response to their defeat at Manchester United that manager Jose Mourinho would have been looking for.

But the act couldn't be maintained for too long. A man who relishes conflict as much as Mourinho - a man who has contributed to some of the most spectacular verbal battles seen in the Premier League - can't stay away from it for too long. WHEN DID THE CRACKS APPEAR? After seeing Spurs lose 2-0 at home to his former club Chelsea, Mourinho saw fit to dig out Antonio Rudiger for apparently playacting during an incident that saw Son dismissed - on a night when the Chelsea man was the target of racial abuse.
The European Championship has been postponed until the summer of 2021 to allow domestic competitions more time to be completed. Speaking to Sky Sports pundit and former Spurs player Jamie Redknapp on Instagram Live, Kane said: "Playing into July or August and pushing next season back, I don't see too much benefit in that. Obviously I don't know too much about behind the scenes and financially. If the season's not completed by the end of June we need to look at the options and just look forward to next season.
Preston would be going head to head with West Bromwich Albion in Championship this Monday evening. Preston have had two defeat in a row, and it looks really bad for them. But both came away from home. Preston are unbeaten in nine games this season, however, there not much threat to them other than West Bromwich Albion right now.

This match between this two is a win draw win for the visiting team West Bromwich because they have the quality and their playing style is better to that of Preston.

Having eventually finished 5th last term, Odense would've come into the current season looking for more. They're yet to really lay down a challenge for the top three but they've got an excellent chance of moving into the top four this time around. After 16 matches, Monday's hosts find themselves in 5th, level on points with the team in front of them. They're only five points behind Brondby, so a top-three challenge isn't out of the question.
Messi picked up a sixth Ballon d’Or in Paris on Monday night as Ronaldo – who finished third – remained in Italy to receive the 2018-19 Serie A Player of the Year award in Milan. It means Messi moves one ahead of Ronaldo in terms of Ballon d’Ors won, but Mendes said his client remains the greatest ever player.
Eindhoven FC and Volendam will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie in Holland. Eindhoven FC this season have the following results: 6W, 3D and 8L. Meanwhile Volendam have 9W, 3D and 5L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Breaking down the hosts has been an issue for many sides this season. Verona have only conceded 11 Serie A goals this season – the last newly-promoted side to concede 11 goals or fewer at this stage in the Italian top-flight were Bari in 2009/10 (10). At home they’ve let in just four goals in seven games. Only 43% have seen over 1.5 goals, with nearly half of their matches here seeing exactly one goal scored.
The unprecedented shutdown of world sport in response to the coronavirus spread that has infected 138,000 people and killed more than 5,000 also prompted FIFA to recommended that all international matches scheduled to be played in March and April be postponed. Soccer's world governing body said that clubs would not be obliged to release players for any games that go ahead.
He claimed to be Freddie's number one fan. King Freddie", as he called him. It felt like something that might have happened back in the days of the Grand Tour. An unforgettable experience. Strangest interview experienceIn my early days at 5 Live, I was sent to interview Alan Sugar about some footballing issue of the day. He spoke to a group of us in the reception of a tower block but did the interview as we walked with him.
It seems to have been forgotten so quickly that not only is Lampard trying to learn on the job at one of the biggest clubs in the world, he’s doing so without one of the best players in Chelsea’s history. Over the past season or two so much of the good Chelsea did came through Eden Hazard and it cannot be overestimated how important he was to this team.

This option still poses a number of issues though and it remains impossible to predict when games could resume, even without fans in the stadiums. Cantona to return to Old Trafford? Eric Cantona could be heading back to Manchester United in an ambassadorial role. The Frenchman is a United legend, having won the Premier League title in four of his five seasons at the club.
We had a togetherness in that Leeds team that few teams could match and our manager, Simon Grayson, gave us all a brilliant team-talk before we went out. He said that, if we won, we would be remembered forever in the club's folklore. He asked us to give everything and told us not to have any regrets, and kept on saying that someone could be a hero. I guess I took what he said pretty personally, didn't I?'I've put it wide - no, it's going in!' Beckford, once a car windscreen fitter, was a latecomer to the professional game.

I believe in at least two goals in this match from Belarus Premier league and I will try this option, who is more than real in this moment. Slavia is very good team this team and they are in the middle of the table. In last round, this team is beat Vitebsk as a guests, 3-2, what is their first win, after three losses in a row. On the other side, Torpedo is great, and this team is played the best so much so far in league, in previous round, when they are won 5-2. Over is very real, really.
It's often said that great sports coaches deal in the 1 percenters that give their team an advantage. In reality, they are more like 0. There were hundreds of thousands of infinitesimal actions from Ferguson, spread over a number of years, which culminated in the Treble. The aside about Solskjaer in the dressing-room 10 days earlier; advising Ryan Giggs, two days before the FA Cup semi-final replay against Arsenal, to run with the ball more because it scared the life out of defenders; his judicious use of the hairdryer and what he calls the two most powerful words in the English language, “well done”.
They have enough quality in the team not to get relegated but where have we heard that before?Did you know? Snodgrass scored twice and provided one assist against Brighton - the last West Ham player to score at least twice while providing at least one assist in the same Premier League game was Andy Carroll against Swansea over six years ago. Forwards - Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Roberto Firmino (Liverpool), Son Heung-min (Tottenham) Mohamed Salah: It looks like Mohamed Salah has got that golden scoring touch back.
In four of their last five matches, PSG scored four goals or more. They have good home record too and will be banking on this heavily.

I've really enjoyed them. I love the feedback I get and knowing [the fans] have enjoyed it," Scott told BBC Sport.

Odds are fine with me for taking the over 2.5 goals could even try to take the over 3.5 goals bet here in this one as the 3 games played between them here in recent seasons ended all with over 3.5 goals a home win with 3-1 a draw high scoring draw 2-2 in the end and also a 3-2 win for the guests, while Port MTI FC finished 3rd in the league last season and started this new season by winning both home games with 4-1 in the end and are very good up-front but not that solid in defense.
That first league fixture saw Neman so nearly get a very creditable draw. They had to play the last 47 minutes with ten men but conceded a late goal in the 88th minute. Neman finished tenth in the Belarus Premier League last season but only won one of their last four fixtures. Home form saw them win four out of 15 league games with only ten goals scored.
