Marcos Alonso netted a late equaliser - his second of the game - to rescue Chelsea from back-to-back embarrassing defeats with a 2-2 draw at Bournemouth. See alsoMatchcast: Bournemouth v Chelsea The Blues still look dazed in the early stages after their crushing home defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday night, but after providing a couple of gilt-edged opportunities to the hosts - Philip Billing spurning both - Chelsea took control of the first half.
We’re confident that a double chance bet on Woking will payout this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. Woking sit above Maidenhead in the National League table and have a good away record this season, while their host have struggled in their own backyard with just two wins from ten home games. We’re backing a 2-1 win for Woking and believe that a draw is the best Maidenhead can hope for this weekend which is why we have gone with a double chance bet on the visitors.
Video - Chelsea v Serie A giants for Verona star - Euro Papers01:45 Man City players could walk away, Real Madrid target Sterling The Sun newspaper reports that Manchester City’s players could walk away from the club and their contracts as the ‘trust and confidence’ of their deal has been broken, according to a sport lawyer.

Newcastle United have played five FA Cup matches this season, two more than City because of replays against lower division teams. They will hope to get it right at the first time of asking here. They are unbeaten in five FA Cup games obviously and they meet a City side unbeaten in nine and looking to defend their title. One factor standing out though, is the high scoring nature of the two sides’ recent matches as well as their recent meetings. Coming from a defeat to Chelsea in the league, City will want to give a response here, but Newcastle have had a good run lately and will not make it easy. We expect an attacking game here and banking on this to produce over 2.5 goals looks good.
Clear and obvious mistakes yes, but his 'opinion' is a gift the game affords the referee only. To try and take it away from him is an outrage. The most the game should ask the referee to do is to look at the incident again to see if his 'opinion' has changed or did he miss something in real time that has now become clear and obvious in the replay. The incident involving Son Heung-min, for example, when he lashed out at Antonio Rudiger is a classic example.
I had conversations with players of 20 minutes or half an hour, practically every week. Individually as well. And when I finished the conversation I went to the delegate of the team and asked if the message had been understood. I wanted to see if the message had gone through, and he always told me "Unai, logically there are things that could be better, but everything is understood". Unai Emery made midfielder Xhaka Arsenal's captain earlier this seasonWas making Xhaka captain a mistake?The main captains last year were Laurent Koscielny, Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey and Nacho Monreal and they all left the team.
We expect this to be a significant number of people from Colney, including the full first-team squad and coaching staff, as well as a smaller number of people from our Hale End Academy which we have also temporarily closed as a precaution. We expect those who did not have close contact with Mikel to return to work in the coming days.
Bundesliga 1. Team Union Berlin will play at home with team Augsburg. Hosts lost their first matches in new year. Their shape is not well. Also they have a problems with some main players before this match. Augsburg lost last their game. But their rivals were players from Dortmund. There they scored 3 goals . So , I think that their shape is not bad. I am waiting that club from Berlin in the second part will lose many points. And today I bet on guests with AH ( 0 ) . Odds are so good and I recommend to try this bet with me .
On the CHCEC Cup rankings, it's no surprise that Slavia Prague is overwhelming the rest with the top spot with 61 points after 25 rounds. The distance this giant created with second-ranked team Viktoria Plzen is up to 8 points. Meanwhile, Baumit Jablonec is the third-ranked team, but only 53 points. As such, Slavia Prague has a great opportunity to finish in the top position after the first phase of the season. At the same time, it is a great advantage for teachers and coach Trpisovsky to enter the finals for the top 6 teams. Especially at home, Slavia Prague retains its inherent strength with 11 victories and only drew 1 match in a total of 11 matches played this season. It will be a huge psychological advantage for the Sinobo Stadium team to look forward to the welcome of Slavia Prague here.
The club are not expected to challenge for the title this year after failing to sign any big-name European players in time for the start of the season. They have, however, signed two of their three permitted 'designated players' - Argentine teenager Matias Pellegrini and Mexico international midfielder Pizarro. Scotland winger Morgan joined from Celtic in January. Head coach Diego Alonso has won two Concacaf Champions Leagues with Mexican sides.
That, for me is the sign of someone who had maybe realised he had gone a bit too far in that way. I am sure he had his own frustrations just as the players and people had with him and the things that went on towards the end but I don't expect it to be the Jose we have seen in the last couple of years. Mourinho addressed the media for the first time as Tottenham boss on ThursdayAnalysisNatalie Pirks, BBC SportThis news conference was all about the words "happy" and "humble" - not something you would normally associate with Jose Mourinho.
Not long ago, this was one of the derby for the mid of the competition, in the Bundesliga, and now two big teams are faced with not too good place in the second level of the league. Hamburg was about to make fast return, but they did drop with some poor games in the second part, and now are at the edge of the playoff position.
Kovac would be a left-field choice by the club but as he is currently out of work, he would be a cheap option compared to alternatives who are under contract elsewhere. Read the full story Villa chase cut-price Pedro in January Aston Villa are looking to sign Chelsea winger Pedro in a cut-price January deal as he approaches the end of his contract at Stamford Bridge, according to the Telegraph.
But we have absolutely no power. If we say he can't go, he's suspended. How can the club who pay his salary not decide. If he's injured and we say he can't play, we have to send him to Africa so they can have a look. Video - Euro Papers: Bruno Fernandes 'goes on strike to force United move' - but will it work?01:14 Klopp also suggested that African players could suffer in that European clubs will not want to sign them in January, knowing they will not be able to play for up to a month.
Jose Mourinho has lost three games in a row for only the fourth time during his managerial career, doing so once with Porto, Chelsea and Manchester United. Wolves have won 35 points from losing positions in the Premier League since the start of last season, at least six more than any other side during this period. Wolves have both scored and conceded in 20 different Premier League games this season (W6 D9 L5), a competition high.

We do see a threat that certain programmes will shut down or not see the same attention as before. The long-term consequences [of the pandemic] in terms of the equality and the diversity in our game could be much harder hit on the women’s side. Women's Euros put back to 2022He continued: "There are a couple of concrete risks. One is a stalling of the investment we’ve recently seen - we need to still keep building up investment in women's football to sustain professional development.
Odds are dropping at this moment on the away win which is priced quite high at 6.50 at this moment, a reason could be that the hosts are really not that solid in defense despite drawing 0-0 the first leg away in Iraq, and there is really not that big a difference between the Algerian first league level of soccer and the first league level in Iraq which has really been on the rise in recent seasons.
According to the Daily Mail, a number of players, particularly in the lower leagues, are keen to find out what they are entitled to if the season is cancelled. They also report that in some cases, players stand to benefit if the season is scrapped. Lukaku: I was done at United Romelu Lukaku has opened up on the moment he told Ole Gunnar Solskjaer he was intent on leaving Manchester United after just two seasons.
Paper Round’s view: Coutinho has lost his way a little since he failed to settle at Barcelona, and with coronavirus hampering the finances of Europe’s top clubs, a huge transfer fee would probably put them off. However, the same development means that Barcelona may be willing to let him leave on a cheap deal for a year or two to avoid having to pay Coutinho’s wages anymore.
Today will be played first 3 games at the program of the new round at Turkmenistan's Yokari liga. Rivals at this match will be the teams of Energetic and More. These are both weakest teams at this league.
Obviously I knew best. Hence this tweet in the 62nd minute. Mahrez - who will now no doubt score - has been really poor today. Odd selection by Guardiola. Literally as fingers were lifted from the keyboard, Mahrez tricked a Brighton defender before unleashing a right-foot rising drive that tore past Brighton keeper Mat Ryan from 20 yards. In this moment the title was won and even the flimsy safety net of suggesting Mahrez might score was no protection from the scorn.
Fourth-tier Ipswich are the lowest-ranked side remaining in the competition after beating Huddersfield 4-1, while third-tier Sunderland and Championship outfits Lewes, Leicester City and Coventry United will also progress to the fifth round after picking up wins on Sunday.

As a shorthand, you might call it "Cool Britannia" and, basically, what it did was offer a pretext for men and women all over the country - from Aberdeen to Stevenage - to wear football shirts as fashion items and swagger about like Liam Gallagher. Out of that heady mix was born the England team's official tournament song Three Lions, written and performed by Lightning Seeds frontman Ian Broudie together with comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner (for the unfamiliar, think of them as a pre-digital age Poet and Vuj).
Lampard bristled at the suggestion. I'm not trying to clone anyone's system," he said. The way that I play, the message that I give is different. The players took the plan on incredibly well as we all saw. Lampard said he played three central defenders to snuff out the threat from Spurs' ability to get their attackers behind the back line, while the use of wing-backs helped to stretch the hosts' typically compact defence.
Stefano Poli's Milan, meanwhile, are 14th place with 13 points, only four clear of the relegation zone. They have won only four league games out of 12 all season and scored a measly 11 goals. Meanwhile, at the top, leaders Juventus (32 points) visit Atalanta and second-placed Inter Milan (31) travel to Torino, both on Saturday.
In the Nicaragua U20 tournament, Chinandega U20s started quite badly. After 16 rounds, this team has only 14 points, currently standing at the bottom of the table. In round 17, they have to meet U20 Real Madrid, the team is ranked 6th with 21 points. The bad thing is that in the last 7 rounds, U20 Chinandega has lost. Therefore, in this match, they are underestimated by the house with the ratio of 0: 2 1/2.
I’m really, really pleased. You only have to calm the game down again, that is what was needed. The fact that we have different options to score a goal gives us the opportunity to stay in the game. We scored a wonderful goal after a set piece but again not the second and not the third. That means everything is open.
Offside decisions have come under closer scrutiny in Premier League this season following the introduction of the video assistant referee. Wenger suggests offside law could 'change a little bit''VAR should not be too forensic'The time spent reaching a decision over marginal calls earlier in the season prompted Ifab general secretary Lukas Brud to reiterate that VAR systems should only be used to correct "clear and obvious errors".
United, who were delayed arriving at Vicarage Road, went into the game on the back of a six-game unbeaten run in the Premier League. However, the defeat at the Hornets leaves them eighth on 25 points, their lowest points tally at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 1989-90. We were high in confidence because we've done well lately but it just wasn't there," Solskjaer added. There was no intent or urgency to make us deserve to win the game.
NEW DELHI, March 14 (Reuters) - India suspended domestic soccer until the end of this month while domestic cricket was put on hold indefinitely due to the coronavirus on Saturday. The All India Football Federation said in a statement that, following Ministry of Health and state government-level advice, "all footballing activities under the aegis of AIFF stay suspended till March 31".
Cantwell is caught in possession, and in the blink of an eye, Aurier feeds the ball across for Alli to tap home his 49th Premier League goal. PENALTY TO NORWICH! Max Aarons felled in the box by Sessegnon. The Spurs defender knew as soon as he slid in. GOOOOOAAAALLLL!!!! Tottenham 1-1 Norwich. After a looooooong VAR check, again, Pukki slots home in his second penalty of the week to level things up! 79’ - GGGOOOOOAAALLLL!!!!! Tottenham 2-1 Norwich.
But when a second goal did not arrive immediately, they became discouraged and reverted to their old habits of lackadaisical running, half-arsed pressing and dullwitted passing. This allowed Brighton back into the game, and it was no great surprise when, after 80 minutes, they scored what proved to be the winner, the superb Neal Maupay guiding Aaron Mooy's cross into the far corner by way of delicate header.
QPR should make this one on their side, without big issue, and Derby is not favorite at this moment, especially when play away from their home pitch. Queens Park can make good game, on their Loftus Road, and team need the points in order to make their way to the secure position at the league table.
Queens Park Rangers and Bristol City are going to face each other today in the game of championship in England, the home team have log time since they have beaten the visitors in this competition they lost four previous meetings consecutively so I see that head to head status as the best to use to find who will win this match.
Premier League clubs remain committed to finishing the 92 remaining fixtures of the current season but did not discuss a deadline by which play must resume at a meeting on Friday. Clubs were expected to debate a 30 June deadline to resume play but instead discussed "possible scheduling models". The Premier League said it "remains our objective" to complete matches but currently "all dates are tentative".
Gary Holt's men have only been beaten twice on home 'plastic' this term in the league, but have just managed to win that same amount on their travels. To be fair, Lyndon Dykes' late strike was unfortunate not to nestle in the net, while Rangers keeper Alan McGregor continues to defy his years. It's clear Livingston will not be in trouble this season as they sit four points adrift of third place, but turning these tight away defeats into points could be the key to elevating them even higher.
Anthony Yukari league, this one I will bet on U 2.5 goals. Price for the under should be at 1,49 and we're betting at 1,50, not much of a value in numbers but there is value on the choice itself. The last 2 matches between these 2 teams ended up as an under 2.5 goals result, one match in august and another one in October last year. Their league has only a few teams so they play 4 matches against each other per season and they are very balanced teams with very narrow results normally. We can see some ending over 2.5 but normally is under
That will come back at some point, but maybe not this weekend. I fancy Chelsea to progress because I always think they are capable of creating chances, but it is going to be close. Lawro's prediction: 1-2Alex's prediction: This is another one that is hard to call, so again I'm going with the stats. No-one is scoring many goals at the moment unless there is a real gulf, and I see this one being cagey.

The 23-year-old, who has excelled for Spurs in recent weeks, has signed from Real Betis until 2025. WILL ERIKSEN THRIVE AT INTER MILAN? - OUR VIEW On the one hand, Eriksen is an inconsistent playmaker who has made a habit of going missing in the biggest games. In Tottenham's run to Madrid, it was Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura who stepped up in attack, not Eriksen.
