Given the developing situation locally and internationally, it is incumbent on the football authorities to speak with one voice in providing guidance and reassurance to stakeholders. The NBA has also asked its players to avoid taking items to autograph but allowed them to fist-bump with fans instead of high-fiving them.
The north London side have been linked with Paris St Germain left back Layvin Kurzawa in the past week but Arteta said there was "a possibility" that the club could go without singing anyone in this window.

The number of cases in Italy - the country in Europe worst affected by the outbreak that first emerged in China - rose to more than 260 overnight from 229 on Monday, with the northern regions of Lombardy and Veneto being the most affected. The number of deaths was unchanged at seven. Numerous sporting events including Serie A matches have been called off in Italy, and at least six of next weekend's 10 scheduled Serie A matches will be played behind closed doors.
An unlikely hiccup could be the FA Cup. Although Liverpool's kids impressed in the 1-0 win over Everton in the third round, the 5-0 pumping they took at the hands of Aston Villa in the League Cup was a bigger concern. Klopp will likely use the competition to rest his biggest names for at least another round or two.
And if you have a target in mind to really right the ship, such as say Erling Braut Haaland, and you can get him at an outrageous price then do everything in your power to close that deal. He is the spectre that looms large over this whole sorry affair. Because now the worry for United will be that sensible young stars like Haaland will look at clubs like Borussia Dortmund as the perfect stepping stone until they go to the biggest clubs in the world like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus or… Liverpool.

The tiredness is in the head, so as long as the body recovers well I think it is not difficult for us to play every single game," the 27-year-old told British media. If the team needs us and the coach needs us, I think we'll be able to play and help the team. I am here to work every single day and to be ready to go again every single day.
Brentford's defeat ensured that, with a move to their new ground scheduled for next season, this was the final cup game after 116 years at the tumbledown stadium.

The Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 seasons were deemed over on Tuesday after France banned all sporting events, including without spectators, until September. After the French announcement, La Liga president Javier Tebas said: "I do not understand why there would more danger in playing football behind closed doors, with all precautionary measures, than working on an assembly line, being on a fishing boat on the high seas, etc, etc.
Bayern Munich are unbeaten in 11 Bundesliga games, winning ten of those matches. Bayern Munich won the reverse fixture 2-1 when these teams met in October 2019. Union Berlin have scored in five of their last six home matches in the Bundesliga.

While the pair are level in the table this season, recent campaigns have pointed to a clear winner in meetings between the two. Derby County are unbeaten in their last six home matches against QPR (W5 D1), winning the last five in a row. Their last home defeat against the R's came back in October 2009, losing 2-4.
Well, I think this will be a walk in the park for Kids to be honest. Last time thses 2 met Linda took home 2 wins 2 x 0 and 0 x 2. This one I even think they could score more actually. Lida did not start well and they are under performing in this season start. Slonim is a much weaker team, they fight no to be relegated and I don't really see they pulling even a goal in this match. So my choice will go for 1, the host, who has a word to say this year for promotion
What next for Moshiri's project? Everton shareholder Farhad Moshiri sacked former manager Ronald Koeman nine games into his second seasonNo-one can doubt Moshiri's ambition, given he has sanctioned around £450m of spending and laid out plans for a new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock, but his big decisions have a very poor success rate. Moshiri wants Everton to join the A-list in the north-west alongside Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United - what he calls "the Hollywood of football".

The Premier League is immediately committing £20 million to support the NHS, communities, families and vulnerable groups during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2019/20 season will only return when it is safe and appropriate to do so and the restart date is under constant review. Utd players donate wages to NHS Manchester United players will donate 30 per cent of one month's wages to local hospitals and health services in the first major coronavirus gesture from a full Premier League squad.
It's been an issue and now we have another bulk," Lampard told reporters when asked why Chelsea have struggled. There are no fresh returns from the injury list. Andreas Christensen has got a small issue which we are going to give another 24 hours, but probably puts him in out of the game. Other than that we have no Tammy Abraham, no Pulisic, no Hudson-Odoi and no Kante.
GGGOOOOAAALLLLL!!!! Arsenal 4-0 Newcastle. Lacazette's drought is over as he completes the rout. Pepe with the ball across, and Lacazette lashes home his first goal of Arteta's reign.

I don't know what it is, but you do notice guys find it much more difficult to relax. We talk about physical fitness. We never really talk about mental fitness. We all need to stay mentally fit, none more so than professional athletes who - under special circumstances playing for England under huge pressure - have got to have their heads razor sharp as well as their feet and legs. His karaoke song is Bohemian RhapsodyAnd the answer to the question you never realised that you had always wanted to know.
Al Sadd are playing at home but they don’t seem to have the quality of players to match Monterrey, who also carry a great run to this game. Monterrey are unbeaten in their last 13 matches and have also not lost in the last seven away matches. One factor about both sides is that they score a lot but in terms of defending, Monterrey have been better. Al Sadd struggled against Hienghene Sport and though they are playing in front of home fans, we don’t envision them winning this. We will go with a 2-1 win for Monterrey here.
unterhaching is in terrible form and they surely lost all the chances for the promotion but I think they need to be happy that they are on the middle and safe from relegation and on the other side Magdeburg is not that safe with 5 points more than Zwickau and I think Magdeburg is going to go for a win tonight and since they are in better shape and have much more motivation they are slight favorites for the win and I decided to risk with that bet and odd but I surely do not recommend it to the anyone
Jo Youle - the chief executive of charity Missing People, who have Roma have partnered for the campaign - said: "It is fantastic news that another one of the young people who was part of the AS Roma transfer video appeal has been found. We are really thankful to our friends at AS Roma for sharing their transfer videos on social media earlier this year and also dedicating additional social media posts to try to help find the boys and girls.
In a nutshell, Manchester United know exactly how to win against teams that are willing to attack them, and Arsenal certainly fall into this category. This approach plays into the Red Devils’ hands, and Arsenal’s defence simply looks incapable of dealing with any sort of pressure. They have kept just one league clean sheet at home this season and have shipped seven goals in their last three games there.

However, adjustments may have to be made, including the potential for one-off ties and regional qualifying, if the process is to be completed in time. Logistical headaches also exist with the calendar for international football. Uefa's plan to normalise the situation is to arrange triple-header international windows in October and November. However, while this might work in Europe, it would be difficult to implement in other confederations given the number of key players needing to make lengthy journeys 'home'.
PA Sport Paper Round’s views: While Premier League clubs owe the most money in terms of nominal amounts, the relative problems are perhaps greater further down the line for clubs that can't secure more credit easily, or who are already in financial trouble. More support needs to be directed from the state and bigger clubs down the leagues, and reform for the future should be considered to buttress their existence.
Only three points behind the reigning champions, Alkmaar can go level on points with a victory. Due to their 14-goal advantage in the goal difference column, it would take an extraordinary event to displace Ajax from the top of the table. Mind you, PSV did slaughter bitter rivals Feyenoord 10-0 back in 2010, so you never know.
I don't think I did anything wrong. I understand the police are doing their job but they mustn't overdo it," the 24-year-old told newspaper Het Nieuwsblad.

Laporte, who has made eight appearances in an injury-plagued season, looked devastated as he limped off the pitch in the first half of City's Champions League first leg win over Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Now a new, brash, bold character made it a trio. Parking the bus" has become universal to describe a team who come and defend, but it was Mourinho who first said it about Tottenham just a month into his Premier League career.

Mainz and RB Leipzig will face each other in the upcoming match in the German Bundesliga. Mainz this season have the following results: 8W, 3D and 15L. Meanwhile RB Leipzig have 14W, 9D and 3L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
But what was crucial was that City looked like a Guardiola team again. In their recent performances, including Saturday's 2-2 staleemate at Newcastle United and the midweek Champions League draw with Shakhtar Donetsk, City struggled to create the kind of dominance of possession for which they are known.
But within a day of arriving in their home town of Igualada in Catalonia - a town with a population of around 40,000 - strict controls to enter and leave the area came into force. Spain is Europe's worst-affected country after Italy and while Clotet's family are near Barcelona, the Blues boss remains in Birmingham. There was a massive outbreak in my home town so the whole town was quarantined," he said.
Scoring goals hasn't always been an issue for The Dons, who've notched in seven out of nine on the road, but they've been struggling to create of late, registering just two shots on target in their last 180 minutes of away-day action.

Porto have a great run, domestically, and will hope to transform this in their Europa League run after an unconvincing group stage showing. They take on a Bayer Leverkusen side also on a good run but not in Europe. This match brings forth teams that have had questions defensively in their recent matches, but have been prolific in attack, so we are backing both to score. Porto’s struggles away from home in this competition are clear, and with Leverkusen, albeit with lesser experience in Europe, having faced some bigwigs in the Champions League group stages, will have the feel of favorites. We are backing the hosts for a win here.
Odds are not that bad for the over 2.5 goals as well with Tottenham playing all their games since Mourinho came as coach with at least 3 goals scored in them, for example at home they won 5-0 lately with Burnley, won 3-2 with Bournemouth or 4-2 with Olympiakos, this while away from home they won 3-2 away at West Ham but lost 2-1 at Manchester Utd and lately 3-1 away at Bayern Munich, so while they are playing better, defense is still an issue for them.
And players' names were replaced on the backs of shirts by 'Black Lives Matter' for the opening 12 games. Given that, Masters was asked about the Premier League's stance on similar protests and campaigns in future. He said the organisation had backed a centralised effort because of the "unique set of circumstances". I don't think it sets any particular precedent," he added. I think it is perfectly possible to support Black Lives Matter the sentiment without being seen to support any political organisation.
