There are likely to be seven weeks between the end of this Premier League season and the start of the next one - but there will be only eight days in that time without games in eight selected tournaments. How, you ask? Let us explain. The Premier League ends on 26 July, with the four Championship play-off semi-final matches being played later that week. The FA Cup final is on 1 August, the same day the 2020-21 Scottish Premiership season begins.
You just know City will dominate possession, which could make this seem a very one-sided final, and they are also likely to create far more chances than Villa. Jack Grealish will carry Villa's main threat but he won't have much of the ball and will spend most of his time running back to his goal, rather than towards City's. After beating Real Madrid at the Bernabeu on Wednesday, City will be confident of ending their week by securing some silverware at Wembley.
Date changed for weather reasons at Cameroon's request. Caf's deputy general secretary Tony Baffoe said: "We have reviewed the period of the competition as requested by the Cameroonian party due to unfavourable climatic conditions during the period initially slated. After listening to the various arguments and viewpoints - and in particular from the Cameroonian meteorological authorities, the coaches and players - the representatives of the Afcon organising committee, which received the mandate from Caf Executive Committee to take the decision, has granted this request.
PSG played not so long ago away at St Etienne in the league and after opening the scoring in the 10th minute of the game through their top star Neymar St Etienne received a red card, and from that point PSG despite even missing a penalty kick won the game 4-0 in the end as St Etienne resumed to defending through the rest of the game. Now in the league last season St Etienne also lost here with 4-0 in the end.
For some time, Burton were held back by a lack of goals at home. They were doing the business on the road, but finding the net was proving difficult at Pirelli Stadium. Fortunately, such a problem seems to be a thing of the past, as The Brewers have now notched seven goals in two matches in front of a home crowd. The floodgates appear to have opened.
Santos Laguna have recently had 2 wins and 1 draw. They have scored 11 goals and conceded 12 goal in the last 5 league matches. At home they managed to win 4 and draw 1 of their last 5 league games scoring 13 goal and conceding 6.
It meant so much. Once I started training again, I just wanted to be treated the same as everyone else. I have known some of my team-mates since I was 14. They are my best friends. It took until the first nutmeg for them to take the mickey out of me. Funny as it sounds, that moment was really good. I am not going to neglect the fact I had cancer, but I don't want it to be what people remember me for.
Man of the match - Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace) Wilfried Zaha scored the opening goal and provided the most crosses (three) for his side'We got sucked in' - what they saidBurnley manager Sean Dyche, speaking to Match of the Day: "I think we got sucked in to what Palace do. We could not break it down and then we let in a soft goal just before half-time.
By way of comparison, Ronaldo managed one every 29 minutes during his time in the English top flight - although that average comes after a significantly longer 14,542 minutes. So far in the 2019-20 campaign, Traore has recorded a total of 144 completed dribbles, which is already the third highest in a Premier League season. Former Chelsea winger Eden Hazard boasts three of the top-four tallies in that department, his 180 in 2014-15 leading the way.

Both sides then hit the woodwork, with Cain again going close for Everton and Bremner for City with an overhead kick. But the hosts wrapped up the win through Bonner in the 64th minute before an Everton corner went into the net off Stanway. It was 35-year-old City manager Nick Cushing's penultimate home game after more than six years in charge before he becomes assistant manager at MLS men's team New York City next month.

I think it Tyrone doesn't get half a block on it, [Orjan] Nyland probably saves it. The Villa boss ws quick to praise his players despite their errors, particularly for their fightback. He said: "We knew we were coming up against a good team. It was probably the second goal that was disappointing. It's a tough way back against a team like Manchester City but I'm so proud of the players, for the character they showed.
Ceccherini was booked for dissent and Ronaldo again scored with a shot to his left while Dragowski this time went the other way. De Ligt outjumped the Fiorentina defence at a corner for the third and Ceccherini protested again to the referee after the final whistle. The lads did well, we gave little away against a great team," said Iachini.
Bryan Mbeumo scored on his first start since returning from coronavirus as in-form Brentford brushed aside Reading to move within two points of the Championship's automatic promotion places. The Frenchman, who missed Brentford's first post-lockdown game at Fulham after a positive test, glanced home a first-half header for his 15th goal of the season to put the Bees ahead. Josh Dasilva lashed home Brentford's second midway through the second half after following up on Rafael Cabral's save from his initial effort, before Joel Valencia added a stunning third from outside the box in added time.
Therefore, the punishments must be sterner. This is where the custodians of the game need to step in; the FA and the Premier League need to put in place actual sanctions that will deter morons. Are stadium closures too extreme? Nope. They would represent a measured response to an extreme situation. Racism is a cancer that blights society and, football needs to take a lead on combating it.
He wanted to see me first and was disappointed. The talks went really well, were positive and I was impressed with what he said. I had to make a decision and at one point I was going to Manchester United, I was 90% certain. Then I got a call from Keegan, who wanted to see me again, and I thought 'I am going to go back to Newcastle'. It was a club I always supported. Do I have any regrets? No, I would do the same again.
It's as important in a career as anything else. Who would my club miss?Which players could your Premier League club be without next season? Based on internationals in current squads, and assuming all listed nations qualified:Arsenal - Pierre-Emerick Aubmaeyang (Gabon), Nicolas Pepe (Ivory Coast), Mohamed Elneny (Egypt - currently on loan at Besiktas)Aston Villa - Marvelous Nakamba (Zimbabwe), Trezeguet (Egypt), Jonathan Kodjia (Ivory Coast), Ahmed Elmohamady (Egypt)Brighton - Leon Balogun (Nigeria), Yves Bissouma (Mali), Gaetan Bong (Cameroon), Percy Tau (South Africa - currently on loan at Club Brugge)Crystal Palace - Jeffrey Schlupp (Ghana), Cheikhou Kouyate (Senegal), Jordan Ayew (Ghana), Wilfried Zaha (Ivory Coast)Everton - Alex Iwobi (Nigeria), Jean-Philippe Gbamin (Ivory Coast), Oumar Niasse (Senegal), Yannick Bolasie (DR Congo - currently on loan at Sporting Lisbon)Leicester City - Kelechi Ịheanachọ (Nigeria), Wilfred Ndidi (Nigeria), Daniel Amartey (Ghana), Islam Slimani (Algeria - currently on loan at Monaco), Rachid Ghezzal (Algeria - currently on loan at Fiorentina)Liverpool - Naby Keita (Guinea), Mohamed Salah (Egypt), Sadio Mane (Senegal).
The 48-year-old has been unemployed since being sacked by the Bundesliga club back in November, but Kovac is currently in England and is "expected to watch the Gunners" in their league match on Monday night against West Ham. The Sun also state that the Croatian's agents have already made contact with the north London club as he looks to make his next move in the management world.
It's good to see quality football back on track after this long stop. Dortmund v Schalke 04 is the same as a goal history documentary. The last 2 matches at Dortmund's we can say we saw a staggering 14 goals scored in total, 4 x 4 and then 2 x 4 in the last one. This under 2,5 goals is paying too well at 1,67 so let's go for it and hope this comeback shows us we are not wrong and the same for history and stats. Needless to say Dortmund is still on the run for the title, 4 points behind Munich

Some Brentford fans vented their frustrations at head coach Thomas Frank's selection before the game but the players on show did their club proud, while the men who missed out will undoubtedly feature in Tuesday's huge league match against fellow promotion chasers Nottingham Forest. For Leicester, though, it was a case of getting the job done for Rodgers' second-string side and that is exactly what they did - negotiating a tricky cup tie while resting a number of key players before their EFL Cup semi-final second leg on Tuesday.

KEY STATS Bayern Munich have now won their first seven games in this Champions League season, only the third side so to do after Barcelona in 2002-03 and Real Madrid in 2014-15, neither of whom went on to lift the trophy.
South Korea won Group A earlier in the week, finishing above Vietnam, to set up a playoff clash with China. The Koreans will host the Chinese in the first leg on March 6 with the return on March 11. Vietnam will take on Australia in the opening clash between the teams on March 6, before the return encounter five days later.
The FA described it as "a significant moment" and - with the Euros coming up this summer - one that "will greatly benefit club and country". Expect to see Premier League stars snapped at luxury resorts, taking selfies with Salt Bae and being put through their paces in warm-weather training camps.

The scheduling of FA Cup replays this week meant some teams had to play during the 'mid-season player break', which upset Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.
According to the Mirror, the 26-year-old felt he had "no choice" but to storm the stands to save his younger brother as he feared for his safety. Dier's brother Patrick exchanged words with a fellow fan who had been vocally abusing the England international during the match and when Dier saw the situation he climbed up to where his family was sitting.
They have also had a strong year in clashes with Anderlecht, winning three out of their last four clashes with them. Brugge have won each of the last three meetings between the two, while they have scored eight goals across those four meetings. That’s a record the visitors will look to maintain.
Their most recent victory made it seven league wins on the bounce for Leicester, including their record-equalling 9-0 demolition of Southampton in October. Away from home they have failed to win three of their seven games, but it’s important to remember that these failures came against Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool. Leicester have won all four of their away days against teams outside the current top six.

It is only natural he will make those mistakes but we as a collective have to be willing to let him make those mistakes. That means the journalists [again, guilty] who will laud him with their words, the Chelsea fans who will start calling him the Scottish Fabregas, and the opposition fans who will conversely try to destroy him the minute he makes a mistake.
MK Dons ended 2019 with a bang on Sunday as they beat Portsmouth 3-1 at home, and while that does leave them teetering on the brink of the safe zone there is still a lot to be worried about at Stadium mk.
When Morgan Gibbs-White was called a "monkey" during the Under-17 World Cup final three years ago, it was the second time he had been racially abused. The first had been during an English Schools national cup quarter-final. I think I was about 15," the Wolves forward tells BBC Sport. We were winning 4-0 or 5-0 and there was a heated situation. One of their players started being racist to me. He eventually got kicked out of the sport.

Schalke said on Wednesday they were in a potentially "existence-threatening" financial situation, with the league having stopped since mid-March and not expected to resume before May, and have asked more fans to pitch in. There are many offers (from fans) to refuse a rebate for their season tickets or day tickets already purchased and we consider these financial gestures as something special," Schalke said in a statement.
Desna and Zorya are candidates for the third place. That is why this match is very important. No matter how the match ends, none of the teams will stop fighting for the third place, though the other will have 3 points advantage. So, once again, the game is very important. That is the reason why I expect a tight and low scoring match. The hosts have most of their players available, while the guests will be without suspended defender Lovro Cvek and Abu Hanna. In addition, Kazakov, Shevchenko and Mayboroda are still training individually, so this match come too soon for them. The last mutual game between Desna and Zorya ended with just one goal - Desna won 1:0 in March.
Ozil 'very close' to shock January loan move Mesut Ozil is reportedly "very close" to completing a loan move to Turkish club Fenerbahce, according to the Sun. The Arsenal playmaker has found himself out of favour at the Emirates Stadium in the last 18 months under former manager Unai Emery and the Sun state that incoming new boss Mikel Arteta "has been tasked with offloading" Ozil by club officials.
All good so far. However, Wolves then thought they had equalised through Pedro Neto, only for VAR to bring it back by the slimmest of margins. The Hadron Collider in Switzerland can actually split the atom, a true wonder of scientific achievement. I’m not sure we could use that to work out whether or not Jonny’s toe is actually offside.
But Spurs’ midfield is a jumble of styles and abilities, with a number of players still finding their feet in the squad. And the Jose Mourinho era at Spurs will be defined by how he develops this area going into future seasons. However, in the short-term he must find a more workable solution. The trio of Lo Celso, Harry Winks and Gedson Fernandes that started on Wednesday evening largely failed to unlock Leipzig on the break and also offered a level of protection for the defence that was flimsy at best.

Livingston also comes into this match with a victory under their belts for the first time since their shock win over Celtic at the start of October. The West Lothian club had gone on to lose four and draw four until their most recent result. Moreover, Livi has only won once in their nine games on the road.
VAR and its implementation was discussed at length during a Premier League shareholders meeting earlier this month when chief referee Mike Riley accepted that "improvement is required" in terms of decision-making speed and consistency. One of the biggest criticisms has been the lack of information on the decision-making process being provided to fans at the stadiums since replays cannot be shown on the big screens until a final decision is made.
The Financial Times and New York Times have reported that discussions led by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez have taken place over the possibility of setting up the league featuring the world's richest clubs split into two divisions. The FT has reported that CVC Capital Partners and Gianni Infantino, president of soccer's world governing body FIFA, are among those approached by Perez about a new league.
Birmingham would endure penalties heartbreak again in 2001 as they conceded a last-minute equaliser in their second leg away at David Moyes' Preston, before a 4-2 defeat in the shootout. Blues also reached the 2001 League Cup final, losing to Liverpool - again on penalties. They would finally be promoted through the play-offs in the following campaign at the fourth time of asking, but it was new manager Steve Bruce who took them there, after Francis had left the club in October 2001 by mutual consent.
Dani Olmo scored twice in two first-half minutes as RB Leipzig moved one point behind second-placed Borussia Dortmund with victory at Hoffenheim. Spanish midfielder Olmo skipped past two defenders for his first before doubling the lead from eight yards. Leipzig's line-up included Germany forward Timo Werner, who is set to join Chelsea after the clubs agreed a deal. Hoffenheim were awarded a penalty at 0-0 but it was overturned after a video assistant referee (VAR) review.
In January, Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell was linked with other clubs - such as Chelsea and Manchester United - which as a player is a huge compliment. However, the flip side of so much speculation can affect you. I can't say what he is thinking or feeling. Nobody knows what goes on inside someone's head. But when I was involved in transfer speculation as a player it was in the back of my mind.
