And for reference every argument made here can also apply to the Bundesliga, which until very recently was going ahead this weekend with no fans, until a late suspension until April 2. Just look at the quotes of Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge before the cancellation came in. At the end of the day, it’s about finances and the outstanding big TV payments to clubs.
In terms of the game, though, Leicester have been flying this season and I can see Jamie Vardy making the difference. Brighton v Arsenal (15:00 BST)This is a quick turnaround for Arsenal after Wednesday's defeat by Manchester City but at least it is only a short flight for them this time. Being serious, I cannot believe the Gunners only flew up to Manchester a few hours before kick-off. That will not have helped their preparations at all.
And it showed here in those awful errors by Van Dijk, so careless when he is normally precise, and goalkeeper Alisson, who was sloppy with a clearance to allow Nelson to score. There was no shortage of effort or determination from Jurgen Klopp's side but even up front they did not possess the ruthless streak that has been such a part of their success, with Salah heading tamely at Martinez when free at the far post and other good positions escaping them.

Freddie had little or no chance of changing that this week, of course. He only took charge on Friday. There is no magic wand, and there is a reason a lot of what we have seen from Arsenal so far this season, we saw again on Sunday. But he was a hardworking player himself, and he will have a chance to make a difference as a coach, to hopefully arrest the slide that his team are on. Arsenal have not won any of their past six Premier League game, drawing four and losing twoThe next few weeks will not be easy - Arsenal have got seven Premier League games in the next month, and I don't see an easy one at the moment.
The players are human beings and I have to understand how they felt in that moment. I think we were psychologically spent. The Cherries had further causes for grievance, not least of all an earlier goal ruled out by VAR. With the game at 0-0, Joshua King struck from a corner but saw the goal disallowed after a video check because of a handball by Philip Billing.
The Premier League met on Monday to discuss "Project Restart" and hopes for a return to action on 12 June, with matches played behind closed doors. We all agreed that we will only go ahead if it is safe to do so and the health and welfare of players, coaches and staff comes first," said Dowden. It is now up to the football authorities to agree and finalise the detail of their plans, and there is combined goodwill to achieve this for their fans, the football community and the nation as a whole.
In their recent matches, Nimes have done well at home; with three straight home wins, they will feel they have what it takes to bring down Marseille. The performance away to Rennes should give them the needed motivation, though they have been lucky in recent matches, beating teams with men sent off. They face a Marseille side with a good away run, who also want a win to make up for their loss the last time out. In their three competitive meetings, these two sides have both scored thus raising the goals to over 2.5 goals. However, going to this game, they have each seen lesser goals in their matches home or away. Of Marseille’s last four away matches, just one has produced over 2.5 goals, while the same is the case for Nimes at home. With their results at home, and away, we are backing this one to end in a draw, though Under 2.5 goals could also pass.

He also indicated the time might have come for Howe to seek a new challenge. Eddie, now, is not just a manager that occasionally coaches in the Premier League.

Deportivo Saprissa will host Herediano for this fixture of the league. No doubt, Saprissa is the best team in this campaign. They are currently on the 1st position with 33 points. Of course, the hosts will try to make a positive result in this match. However, I think, this will not be an easy task. I expect, the visitors to provide a strong resistance. Herediano is also ambitious team in this league. They are currently on the 3rd place with 26 points. Yeah, the visitors have a poor results in the last matches. In last game Herediano lost 0-1 against Limon. Nevertheless, they will try to pick up at least one point.

If all of this season's Premier League games ended at half-time, Manchester United would be third in the table. They have no problem starting a game well, it's holding out that's the problem. We think that the best way to end their hoodoo against Wolves is with a fast start. They may need to build up a big lead but a half-time/full-time bet on the home team is a solid bet.

That isn't a problem. We got the option to come back to training and that's fine because we didn't have to but if the FA and the EFL and the government and Uefa and the Premier League all say you are going back to play, it really doesn't make any difference what the players think because you are going back to play. It is get in or get out. The Premier League did not comment on Mings' statements when contacted by BBC Sport.
Often it was for his sensational match-winning performances on the pitch - but controversy seemed to follow the Uruguayan around. After being given an eight-game ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra in 2011, the striker managed to generate more headlines by biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic during a Premier League game at Anfield in April 2013. Unsurprisingly a 10-match ban followed, but it was one of those moments when everyone texts their mates asking: "Have you seen this?"5.
Jose Mourinho will aim to take Tottenham into the Champions League knockout stages by beating Olympiakos in his first home match in charge. Mourinho, who won the tournament with Porto and Inter Milan, replaced the sacked Mauricio Pochettino last week and won 3-2 at West Ham on Saturday.

Putting in place actual deterrents would be a first step. Should that not do the job then call the game off. A STORY IN THREE PARTS Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is exactly the manager he was brought in to be. More on that below but first an absolute masterpiece in whataboutery. Solskjaer is a fairly one-dimensional coach, capable enough to get United to compete against teams better than his own but incapable of beating teams lower down the pecking order.
He continued: "I think everyone should [walk off]. That's the way you support another person, because why should you go on?"If you go on it will never stop, because the people will think 'OK, we will abuse the player, they will go inside, we will stop a little bit, but they will come outside again, we will play the game, so why should we stop?'," Wijnaldum told CNN Sport. The 29-year-old, who has been a mainstay in Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side this season, went on to say he would walk off if he heard abuse during a major final.

Playing for a Diego Simeone side can be tough for an attacking player, so maybe a move to the Premier League could resurrect his career.

It’s a real battle between youth and experience on Saturday night when Lecce make this trip to the Franchi. Only AC Milan (24 years and 242 days) have fielded a younger starting line-up on average than Fiorentina (25 years and 263 days) in Serie A this season, whilst only Juventus (29 years and 136 days) have fielded an older line-up than Lecce (29 years and 108 days).

When you sign something, you stick to it or you don't. Not only are Wolves competing in the top half of the table this season but they are also into the knockout rounds of the Europa League - they take on Espanyol in the last 32 later this month.

Italian football has been plagued by racism over the years and Balotelli, born in Sicily to Ghanaian parents and given up for adoption at the age of three, has been one of the main victims, most recently in a match at Hellas Verona where he was subject to abuse by home fans.

Fortunately for him, Carvajal got him out of jail, but Ramos must erase such lapses from his game or it could cost Real Madrid in the title race at the top of La Liga.
