A series of racist incidents have tainted European soccer recently, with Italian striker Mario Balotelli threatening to walk off the field after receiving alleged abuse from Hellas Verona fans last month while Shakhtar Donetsk forward Taison was shown a red card for reacting to racist jeers during a match.
When we – all the Premier League clubs - last spoke, we agreed to get going again as soon as possible. And that games will run into July, if required, to get the campaign finished. This is the plan. This is what we want to deliver. Players are currently not in training and housebound to comply with social distancing rules currently in place until April 13, when we expect training to restart.

West Ham can take heart West Ham scored two goals against Liverpool for the first time since a 2-2 draw at Anfield on 11 December 2016Moyes must feel Anfield holds him in a curse - he has never won at Anfield in 16 attempts as a manager with Everton, Manchester United, Sunderland or West Ham. The Scot's joyous celebrations when Fornals gave West Ham the lead at a time his side were performing with real heart must have had him believing the drought might be over until things took a nasty twist with that Fabianski error.

It wasn't often any midfielder came out on the winning side in a battle with either of them. They were serial winners and world class footballers. The closest thing we have to it now is probably when Liverpool take on Manchester City. We are where we are with it and have to enjoy it as we used to, but it does bring back some feelings and memories when you see how much these two teams hated each other.
Chelsea is having a very good season due to the circumstances where they were not able to sign new players and recently got a great win on the road against Arsenal by 2 - 1. On this match they will play once again away from home, this time against Brighton & Hove Albion. The Blues are the clear favorite and we expect them to get another victory on this match here since they are clearly the better team. For that reason, we will take Chelsea to cover the -0.5 Asian Handicap as the best line to bet on this match against Brighton.
I see a high scoring game in this one as I would gladly take odd above 2.50 for the over 3.5 goals in this one but I do not have that option so have to stick with decent odds for the over 2.75 goals as last round also the opening round in this second league level in Vietnam Dong Thap hosted Can Tho at home and the score was already 2-2 after 36 minutes of the game, at half-time it was 3-2 for Can Tho who quick in the second half made it 4-2 in their favor but Dong Thap from that point on scored 3 goals in a row to win the game with an amazing 5-4 in the end.

The football in Portugal is back on schedule, Benfica host Tondela in the 25th round of the league. So far, Benfica have won 59 points in 24 games, goal record 52:14. They are currently ranked 2nd place 1 point behind Porto. On the other side, Tondela are ranked 14th place with 25 points, they have scored 20 goals and conceded 30.
Semplici, who had been with the club since 2014 in Serie C (third tier) and gained back-to-back promotions to the top flight, leaves the club struggling in last place with 15 points after they lost eight of their last 10 matches. Di Biagio, 48, has never managed at the club level and his only experience as a manager was coaching Italy's Under-20 and Under-21 teams from 2011 to 2019.
West Ham have averaged just 1.33 goals per 90 minutes at home this season, and Spurs have scored exactly one goal in each of their last four Premier League fixtures, with three of those games finishing level at 1-1.

This was a club, fuelled by owner Roman Abramovich's ambition and finance, that lived comfortably in the Champions League for years, driving into the later stages and reaching two finals, losing to Manchester United in 2008 and winning in the most dramatic fashion against Bayern at the German team's own ground four years later. It may be hard to take but the last 16 is probably their current true level.

Fantasy football favourite John Lundstram could also leave when his contract expires, although record signing Sander Berge's arrival in January would soften the blow. With no striker establishing himself and Billy Sharp and David McGoldrick in their thirties, Wilder might look to further add to his options up front. Tottenham: An unsettled sideHaving used more players than any other side this season (29), Tottenham have the most disrupted and unsettled squad in the Premier League.
I really should not be covering the home win here but odds are high enough to be taken on the DNB on the hosts at 1.73 at this moment as they won 2-0 at home and 5-1 away at Llaneros in the previous round while Caracas struggle with Monagas losing first 3-1 on the road the first leg but winning 2-0 at home and I see a similar scenario a poor first leg here especially since they lost even at home during the season to Lara with no less than 3-0 but just to be safe will cover the draw bet.
Liverpool have now lost three league games in winning the title when they only lost one in finishing second to Manchester City last term, that sole defeat coming against the eventual champions at Etihad Stadium - and while one piece of history will not be theirs they can still look forward to receiving the trophy on a special podium erected on the Kop when the play Chelsea next Wednesday. What's next?Arsenal face Manchester City in their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday (19:45 BST), before their penultimate Premier League game of the season against Aston Villa on Tuesday (20:15).
Manchester City host Burnley and may well rotate their squad for this game. It's their final match before their Champions League second leg against Real Madrid. They won't want to go the same way as Tottenham and Liverpool. Home form remains strong for City and they have a great record against Burnley. Their away record has improved of late but this looks booked for a home win with City ahead at both half and full time.
That is a poorer run than they ever suffered under Arsene Wenger, with 1992’s stretch of eight games without a win the last time the going has been so bad at the club. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had given Arsenal the lead just before half-time, but Daichi Kamada’s second-half double ultimately turned the tie on its head.
We’re confident that a double chance bet on Braga will payout on Thursday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in the Portuguese sides’ favour. The visitors haven’t lost in the group stage so far and need to win to ensure they finish in first place ahead of Wolves. Slovan Bratislava won’t be easy to beat in their own backyard but Wolves did pick up three points there but just in case the game does end in a draw, we have backed a double chance bet rather than an outright Braga victory.
We have had a pretty good start because most people probably expected us otherwise. But I want more all the time and I think that the last week has been a good example of that for us. I saw us go to Manchester City and trade with them like a big team who was in and around that level, then at West Ham we were not.
Culture secretary Oliver Dowden is due to meet football authorities on Thursday. Later this week, the Premier League will also hold talks with the Professional Footballers' Association and the League Managers Association after they have digested the medical protocols needed for a return to firstly phased training and then full competition, and have received feedback from their members. On Sunday, the PM said people in England will be able to "play sports but only with members of your own household".

Arteta had been in the Arsenal hierarchy's thinking for some time, almost getting the job before Emery was appointed in May 2018. The trophies won alongside Guardiola simply confirmed the thinking rather than shaped it. He had leadership qualities that were recognised inside the north London club's corridors of power when he was a player there and noted for future reference. Arteta was seen as a leader inside the dressing room and that influence was clear to those outside.
When we look at the recent performances of both teams, especially in their respective home and away games, a lack of goals starts to appeal. Specifically, 'Both Teams to Score – NO' gets the nod. Derby may have only failed to score in one of their home games this term, but their attacking efforts haven't been great, which is why they scored more than one on so few occasions. Their defensive efforts have been very encouraging, as three clean sheets in their last five suggest. What's more, under Rowett, Millwall have started to give little away on the road, conceding just two goals in their last three, during which time they've given away very few clear-cut scoring opportunities. Add in that both teams rank in the bottom half when it comes to shots on target for this term and a lack of goals looks to be the way to go.
I am not writing the Cherries off, though. It wouldn't surprise me if they and Villa swapped places with Watford and West Ham, and those two went down. Newcastle v Tottenham (18:00 BST)Newcastle have lost their past two games, against Manchester City and Watford, and they are safe in mid-table with not a great deal to play for. Tottenham won the north London derby at the weekend, but to say it was a unconvincing victory is probably the fairest way of summing it up.
'Correct Score' players can try a 1-1 draw. Nimes have conceded exactly one goal in each of their last three, though they've scored exactly one in four out of six and haven't scored or conceded more than one in any of their last four.
Zwolle and Sittard will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eredivisie. Zwolle this season have the following results: 3W, 1D and 9L. Meanwhile Sittard have 3W, 3D and 7L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Long-serving Gunners manager Arsene Wenger was not a fan, saying: "You cannot say it is football any more. It is more rugby on the goalkeepers than football. You won't be surprised to hear such complaints were music to Pulis' ears. I always want angles to get players motivated, to put fire into their bellies and something for the supporters to feed off," he said. When Wenger first said it, called us a rugby team, it was the third time on the bounce we had beaten them at home.
