We just need to focus on the positives, what we've done well. Ayew equals best goal return - the statsCrystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew's goals this season have won his side 12 points. Only Andy Johnson in 2004-05 (15) won more in a single Premier League season for the Eagles. Ayew has equalled his best goal return in a Premier League season - also netting seven goals in 2015-16 with Aston Villa and in 2017-18 with Swansea.
With cricket in England suspended until May 28, the PCA also said players had agreed to being furloughed by their counties if they are asked to do so.

Pray for us. RETRO CORNER On this day 23 years ago, Robbie Fowler displayed great sporting honesty/dived and quickly realised he was going to get caught – depends on your point of view really. But in these strange times, a little positivity is required, so let’s assume for the sake of argument that he was just being honest.
Aves concede an average of 1.60 goals per home game and only 17% of Braga’s away games have produced over 2.5 goals, so we’re not expecting any more than two goals to be scored on Saturday. Braga have won 33% of their away games which is above the league average of 29% and, given the host’s record at home, we believe the visitors will increase their win rate on the road this weekend.
He's an Everton fan, so I don't feel that sorry for him," said Lawro. Referees' boss Mike Riley will present his season's review of the video assistant referee system on Friday at a Premier League shareholders' meeting. Riley, head of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, will look at key match incidents and assess how the technology has been used in its first season in the English top flight.
Sociedad had enjoyed an emphatic 4-1 win at home to Eibar in their last outing but they lacked their usual fluidity against a Valladolid side who have lost only once at home all season. It was the hosts, who are 14th, who came closest to scoring, with Jose Hervias rattling the crossbar from a free kick and Sociedad keeper Alex Remiro thwarting striker Sergi Guardiola at point-blank range.
Norwich are in deep trouble and need to start getting some wins sooner rather than later. They keep taking the lead but seem incapable of going on to win the match. Home form is poor too with just two points earned from their last seven played at Carrow Road. Crystal Palace are ninth in the table but not the most consistent of sides or high scorers. A bet on under 2.5 goals is the suggested bet for this match.
It is quite a new experience for me, as two of my boys are of school age,” said the 42-year-old. I’m really enjoying spending time with my wife and boys, which is something I don’t get chance to do normally, so I’m trying to look at this positively. We’ve been in the garden kicking the ball around which has been great. I remember as a kid just wanting to kick a ball, score a goal, imagining being in the FA Cup final.

In addition, it will bring to an end nine successive years in the Champions League - with the Premier League's fifth-placed team - currently Manchester United - set to replace them in next season's tournament. And, while manager Pep Guardiola has already said he "trusts" the club and will stay next season whatever the outcome, even warning former club Barcelona not to "talk too loud" about the situation after president Josep Maria Bartomeu welcomed the verdict, others, including star midfielder Kevin de Bruyne, have said they would need to consider their futures if City's ban is upheld.
Some clubs are using a "loophole" in a regulation aimed at increasing the number of black managers in football, says Troy Townsend from anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out. The English Football League (EFL) has a policy - informally known as the 'Rooney Rule' - that clubs must interview at least one black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) candidate for a managerial vacancy. But that is not necessary if they do not have a shortlisting process and interview only one candidate.
I have to favor the guests to be getting something out of this fixture with Koln having won just 8 points all season long and not really being a great home side as I happened to watch them play very poor at home against an average Hertha Berlin side and losing that game with no less than 4-0 in the end, at the same time Augsburg defeated last round same Hertha Berlin side with no less than 4-0 themselves showing great awareness in front of goal and scoring goal after goal.
Masters repeatedly referred to the confidentiality of the process, but did indicate it had been complex. There is no timetable set as part of the rules, there is no particular timeframe that these things normally take," he said. Some takeovers are straightforward, others aren't. He would not give a date by which he thought it would be announced but said: "All processes have to conclude and I would like the process to conclude shortly.

Perez Zeledon will host Cartagines for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors are more ambitious team in this season. They are currently on the 6th place with 22 points. True, the visitors have highly variable results. However, they have a chance to reach for one of the top four places in the table. Also, we have Perez Zeledon who's is not very good team in the last matches. Perez Zeledon is one of the outsiders in this season. They are currently on the 10th place with 16 points. So, the hosts are in poor shape and for me they could lose. My pick - Cartagines to win.
Under 2.5 goals have been produced in four of the last six meetings between these two clubs as well as in three of Oldham’s and four of Leyton Orient’s last six matches, so you can see why we’re expecting a low-scoring affair this weekend.
He made amends, however, by setting up the winning goal in the 71st minute. Ibrahimovic pulled the ball back from the byline and, after a scramble in the area, Rebic turned it from close range. The win continued a mini-revival for Milan, who are unbeaten since Ibrahimovic returned for a second stint at the club in January.
We have to build on it and be smart in our recruitment over the summer. One player whose future at Villa will inevitably be discussed in the media this summer is Jack Grealish, who scored their goal at West Ham on Sunday and has been their standout performer this campaign. What happens now? He comes out and gets drunk with me," added Smith. Will he stay? I'm certainly hopeful; he's contracted for another two or three years.

Bournemouth, a point behind 10th-placed Spurs in the standings, lost 5-0 away in the same fixture last season and Howe said they would have to pull up their socks for what will be Jose Mourinho's first league home game in charge of the north London side. The away game at Spurs last year, we started so well and should have scored," Howe said.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2David's prediction: Arsenal are trying to turn it around at the moment, after having quite a hard time. But I think stopping City is probably a step too far for them right now, even though City are not doing quite as well as they have been. MONDAY Crystal Palace v Brighton (19:45 GMT)This should be pretty spiky, and it is also very hard to call. I am going to go with Crystal Palace to take the derby honours, though, and Roy Hodgson deserves a lot of credit for the job he has done.
Fredericia and Vendsyssel will face each other in the upcoming match in the Division 1 in Denmark. Fredericia this season have the following results: 13W, 6D and 6L.

Only Milwaukee Bucks have won more games than the Lakers this season. The Lakers have won five of their last seven at home. San Antonio Spurs have lost four of their last six matches.

Dortmund's Mario Goetze made the most of a rare start by putting the visitors ahead in the 17th minute, while Hoffenheim hit the bar from a free kick with their only real chance. However, Dortmund failed to add another goal despite being in complete control of the game and they were punished for it. The hosts leveled when substitute Adamyan stabbed the ball home after goalkeeper Roman Buerki failed to clear in the 79th and Kramaric grabbed the winner three minutes from time.
City moved within a point of second-placed Leicester after coming back from a goal down, scored by Jamie Vardy, to win the game comfortably thanks to goals from Riyad Mahrez, Ilkay Gundogan and Gabriel Jesus. And Rodgers admits his side were taught “a good lesson”. Man City overwhelm Leicester to close gap on second “In the first half we weren’t good at all,” he told Sky Sports post-match.
Juventus against Atletico Madrid in match UEFA Champions League. My prediction this match could be won for Juventus with margin score is 1 goal. Juventus have better result on last 4 match in Champions League due to Juventus have won in 3 match and 1 match is draw. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid have good result on last 4 match in Champions League due to Atletico Madrid have won in 2 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Nevertheless, my prediction that Juventus can defeat Atletico Madrid due to Juventus always strong and have over confidence in every home match.
Man City need Champions League win for successful season - WrightThe emergence of the Big FourThe Merseysiders never seemed like bona fide title contenders in this era but they were usually in and around the top four, and when Roman Abramovich purchased debt-riddled Chelsea in 2003, suddenly, there it was, the nascent Big Four, the divisional architecture that would dominate English and European football for the rest of the decade.
In terms of our correct score tip, we think that the improvements made by Bolton since the turbulent opening to the season should be enough to see them through in this one. Although they average just 0.78 goals per home league game so far, that has been improving and their last four home games has seen them score 1.5 goals per game. This, combined with the fact that the visitors concede so frequently, suggests to us that backing a 2-1 home win is the way to go.
Probably this odds will be smaller tonight or tomorrow and I will take that earlier, what is for me very real and ok to try. So, Junior Sevan is team who was very efficient in last period and they are in last three matches played every time with three or more goals, and in that period, it was 1-2, 5-0 and 4-4. On the other side, 2-0, 2-1 and 7-2 are guests played in last three matches. It is clear that in this moment, both od this rivals are playing efficient, so I will try the same and here. It is real.

There are also questions over what Real will do, with Zidane's selection complicated by the absence of the injured Eden Hazard - a certain starter if fit. Like Barca, Real usually set up in a 4-3-3 and have two of Gareth Bale, Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior alongside the in-form Karim Benzema up front. However, in the recent Champions League meeting with Paris St-Germain, Zidane reverted to a midfield diamond with the lesser-seen Isco at the tip.

Getty Images It was through an Areola gaffe that the opening goal came, first parrying an Isak shot from distance before allowing an Odegaard effort from the rebound to squeeze between his legs when he should have made the comfortable save. Ramos hit the woodwork from a Brahim cross into the middle while Isak had chances at the end of the half to double Real Sociedad’s advantage heading into the break.
He is probably not quite proactive enough for Barcelona. However, what on earth qualifies Xavi for the role? A couple of lottery wins in Qatar? Furthermore, even if Pep Guardiola - Barca's spiritual king - had made himself available for the job, the treatment currently dolled out would still be a disgrace.

Pep Guardiola admitted after his Man City side's 3-0 win over Arsenal on Sunday that his assistant could leave for his former club. If it happens, it will happen.

If Alli is going to be a success under Jose Mourinho, he will have to do more off the ball. Chuntering under his breath when the manager substitutes him after 70 minutes will not endear him either. Mourinho is only interested in team players. Did you know? As well as registering an assist, Dele Alli produced more tackles than any of his team-mates as Spurs made a winning start under Jose Mourinho against West Ham.
I don't think these teams always took us seriously," says Ferguson. And Malpas can see why. As individuals, we were bang average. But together, we were a right good team," he says. Springsteen, regrets & the Forfarshire Cup Dundee United's Paul Sturrock in action during the Tannadice leg of the finalThe same could be said for Gothenburg, who lay in wait in the final.

It coincided with the 10th anniversary of Sullivan and Gold buying the club, a decade spent, apart from one season, in the Premier League but also one marked by regular relegation battles and the trauma of moving out of their beloved Upton Park.
