We have asked Freddie Ljungberg to take responsibility for the first team as interim head coach. We have full confidence in Freddie to take us forward. Wolves manager Nuno is the favourite to succeed Emery according to the bookies, while Manchester City assistant head coach Mikel Arteta and ex-Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino are also mentioned.
Blackburn look set for another midtable season, having spent the campaign so far drifting between the lower reaches of the top half before getting a tad nervous about the relegation battle. Rovers do have an eight-point lead over the bottom three following a run of solid results, with their home record set to keep them safe.
All the thoughts of “Liverpool” will be about the Champions League. This is not surprising, because in the first full-time match “Atletico” wrote a slap in the face to them, although many experts said the opposite before the game. But the return match is not coming soon, so you can think about the English Premier League. Although, what is there to think? It is already obvious who will become the champion this season. But this does not mean that you need to give points to such teams as “Watford”. “Watford” this season robbed three points, “Manchester United”, but I cannot believe that they will become some kind of horror for the top clubs in England. Now the hosts have returned to the relegation zone and cannot win five rounds in a row. Although the “Liver” will be away, but they still have more chances. Of course, there will be a certain rotation after the European Cup battle, but even the “Reds” shop is stronger than the base of “Watford”.
Benfica average 2.50 points per home game, which is above the league average of 1.54, while Maritimo average 1.00 points per away game, which is below the league average of 1.17. Benfica score an average of 2.33 goals per home game and have only conceded two goals in their own backyard while Maritimo have only scored four goals away from home, which is why we have backed a final scoreline of 3-0.
It is a problem," Guardiola said. I don't know if he will be fit for the Madrid game. City winger Leroy Sane is still on the road to recovery as he stepped up his comeback from a serious knee injury that required surgery last year, but Guardiola said it would be "weeks" before he was ready to return to action.
We must pay attention that the cut is not going to open again but it looks good and hopefully he can play on the weekend. It's more important that it doesn't get worse and then he's out. If it's too early then we don't play with him. But it looks good. He's an important player for our team, absolutely.
Les Olympiens' away form has been slightly above average in recent weeks but they have struggled in the cauldrons of the league's bigger teams. Despite confident performances against Toulouse (2-0) and Angers (2-0), they really looked like a poor team as they were thrashed 4-0 in Paris. Obviously PSG are a class side but Villas-Boas' men should have really threatened more in Le Classique given their form. They also lost 2-1 away to a very poor Monaco side which makes us doubt their chances going into this one.
Sergio Aguero's last-gasp title-deciding goal, the miracle of Leicester City, Kevin Keegan's rant and Steven Gerrard's ill-timed slip. They are some of the Premier League's most iconic and enthralling moments, but ones we would have been denied had the seasons in which they occurred been halted with nine games to go. The Premier League still intends to complete this campaign, but with leagues cancelled around Europe because of coronavirus, an aborted season in England's top flight remains a possibility.
For a moment it looks like the rebound will fall to Martinelli, but it does not and Bournemouth scramble the ball clear. GOAL! Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal (Nketiah) He's got the knack! Mustafi into Nketiah, who comes short and lays off to Willock, who moves it wide to Saka. His cross is more of a pass - that's how poor Bournemouth's passing is - and Nketiah slots home with ease.
The player left out - Former Liverpool full-back Stephen Warnock Around 750,000 people turned out to see Liverpool parade the Champions League trophy around the city in 2005, but not all of their players made the busWhen I hear it described as being one of Liverpool's greatest ever nights, it leaves a very sour taste. It still hurts now, actually - the way it was handled was absolutely shocking. I was in the original squad when the team sheet up was put up at the training ground a few days before the game, and I was absolutely ecstatic.
Barcelona have not lost a home game in 21 outings. This season, in La Liga, they have won 15 of the 17 they have played, and failed to score in just one. They face the weakest side in La Liga this season and it is easy to pick the hosts as the favorites here. While Espanyol have failed to score in four of their last five matches, Barcelona have scored two or more in their last three. We don’t expect Barca to slow down, given their chase for the title and after scoring four against Villarreal, they have their momentum back. An emphatic victory for the hosts seems to be on the cards and we will go for a 3-0 win for Barcelona.
The Magpies got a good win on the road too, over Bournemouth, and I think they will get something from this one. Liverpool v Burnley (15:00 BST)With three wins and a draw from their past four games, Burnley are doing brilliantly, especially when you consider how depleted Sean Dyche's squad is. But I see their good run ending when they go to Anfield. Liverpool will find it far harder to break Burnley down than it was against Brighton in midweek, but I think the end result will be the same - a Reds win.

If you would like a handy explainer as to the nature of that kicking off, Ewan Murray in the Guardian has one. RETRO CORNER On this day in 1999 Ryan Giggs took off his shirt and the nation was apparently utterly stunned at the sight of a man with a hairy chest. Also, he scored a good goal against Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final.
Though Danielle van De Donk's goal gave the Gunners hope, City hung on for the 2-1 win—and sealed a celebratory send-off for Cushing to remember. Aileen Whelan - Brighton Aileen Whelan's 39th-minute strike was the only goal in ninth-placed Brighton's 1-0 win over Everton - the Seagulls’ first victory in three games.
Relive West Ham's win over Watford'Promise less and deliver more' - West Ham do just that Former Manchester United and Everton boss Moyes was appointed for a second spell as West Ham boss in December, with the side just one point above the relegation zone. Preserving the club's top-flight status will have been the aim and Moyes will achieve that objective barring a freak set of results over the coming days.
He said they missed him as they drew 1-1 at home to Everton in the Premier League on Sunday. It's games like the Everton one, for example, when you are lacking that one creative pass or idea," said Solskjaer. He has the quality not many midfielders in the world have, so it would be great to get him back. Solskjaer intends to make changes to his starting line-up for Colchester's first visit to Old Trafford.
Britain's Health Minister Matt Hancock sparked a debate last week when he said Premier League players must "play their part" and take a pay cut while the league was suspended so that the clubs' non-playing staff are not furloughed. Players in the English top flight earn more in a week than the average Briton earns in years but Solskjaer said it was "unfair" to call out players who are looking at ways they can help National Health Service (NHS) workers on the front line.
Talks are at an advanced stage and a deal could be confirmed in the next few hours. Neilson, 39, led United to the Scottish Championship title this term, having done the same with the Tynecastle club in 2015 before leaving for MK Dons. Earlier this week, Hearts asked for United's promotion to be scrapped after legally challenging their relegation. The Edinburgh outfit, along with Partick Thistle, filed a petition at the Court of Session on Wednesday.
Reims have drawn each of their last three matches and with their last clash with Amiens finishing level, we're backing a stalemate here. The Unicorns have three goals in their last three games despite the damning results while Reims have also been consistently finding the net with four in their last five so we're backing this to finish 1-1.
On top of that, Kilmarnock's away form has been notably poor this season. Kilmarnock have won just two of their nine Scottish Premiership away games this season, losing six. No Scottish Premiership team have scored fewer away goals than Kilmarnock. They have scored just six in nine Scottish Premiership away games.
It wasn’t,” he said, “the most diplomatic of discussions. Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon and his wife Yasmin tried to get in the party and were refused entry.

Crystal Palace have been particularly difficult to beat on home soil this season, avoiding defeat in six of their nine home matches and only losing against the current Premier League top three. However, one thing that has been distinctly missing from Selhurst Park is goals, and that’s not just limited to this season.
The hosts threatened again three minutes later. Lee Tomlin conjured the opportunity out of nothing, jinking past three Fulham defenders before finding Junior Hoilett, who set up Glatzel, but his shot was straight at Rodak. Those were promising signs but, once Fulham took the lead, Cardiff could not find a way back into the game. They tired in the second half as they were forced to chase their opponents or, in reality, chase shadows as Fulham asserted their superiority.
Local media had speculated that the league would be suspended due to government travel curbs that will force two teams, Wellington Phoenix and Melbourne Victory, to be quarantined for 14 days upon re-entering Australia after their match in New Zealand on Sunday. But FFA chief James Johnson said the teams' matches would be rescheduled after their quarantine period and New Zealand-based Wellington had agreed to remain in Australia to allow the season to continue.
He could be back in action as soon as Thursday against LASK. Paper Round’s view: Pogba has done absolutely nothing to earn a return to a side that is both confident and improving. He is clearly a superbly talented player, but there is little point including him if he will only show enthusiasm if other players are there to inspire him - he is so good that he should be leading the talent.

Liverpool's stunning defeat by Watford was the major talking point of the Premier League weekend, while Manchester City won the Carabao Cup by beating Aston Villa at Wembley. The victory at Vicarage Road helped the Hornets move out of the relegation zone following Bournemouth's home draw against Chelsea, while fellow strugglers West Ham also earned a precious win over Southampton. Wolves earned an important win in the battle for European qualification, coming back to beat hosts Tottenham and move level on points with fifth-placed Manchester United.

Two of the Championship’s top six meet this weekend, as Nottingham Forest head to Bristol City. We expect an entertaining game here, as two sides who try to get forward clash with their promotion hopes on the line. These two are drifting away from the top two and they’re in danger of slipping out of the playoff spots, so a result here is crucial.

Kal Naismith scored the first of seven first-half goals inside the opening minuteNaismith opened the scoring for the Latics inside the opening minute after he nodded home Dowell's short corner, while Moore finished well in the box after some good work from Lowe to gift him the ball. Lowe registered another assist for Dowell to score Wigan's third before getting on the scoresheet himself soon after with a cool finish.
CALVERT-LEWIN MISS - Calvert-Lewin blows his big chance. Everton work the ball for Calvert-Lewin, and he scuffs the ball over Kepa and well wide of the post. GOAL! Chelsea 3-0 Everton.

They last lost as many league matches in a row in March 2013 when in League One. Salah scored his 63rd goal in his 100th Premier League appearance - only Alan Shearer (79), Ruud van Nistelrooy (68) and Sergio Aguero (64) scored more in their first 100 games in the competition. Salah has scored more Premier League goals against Bournemouth (seven) than any other opponent, and has netted in all five of his appearances against the Cherries in the competition.
The signs certainly don’t look promising from a Burnley point of view here, and to make matters worse they have a pretty terrible record against Leicester, winning just two of their nine Premier League meetings with the Foxes. All things considered, we think a Leicester Win looks good value for money on Sunday.

Another interesting match for today and new duel where I will just bet on goals and enjoy in match, what is pretty real to expect. So, Utrecht is one of the most dangerous teams in this league, because they are every season beating favorites. Still, I must said that AZ Alkmaar, who is in fantastic form, is favorite and team who is closer to win. This team is won in last five matches and not received any goal in those duels, 3-0, 3-0, 4-0, 5-0 and 6-0. Yes, after this results, of course that over is ok and real to try.
