The defeat was Chelsea's third in four Premier League fixtures and Frank Lampard will have to find a way to drag his team out of their slump to hold off the teams that are closing in quickly from below them.
No players have so far objected to contributing some of their wealth to help their clubs at a time when their finances are in peril. But there is now a perception that the PFA has been too slow to agree action, and by failing to take the initiative have ensured a PR disaster for their members, especially after several clubs furloughed non-playing staff. The PFA needs to look after the interests of less well paid players in Leagues One and Two of course.
One aspect of Ipswich's game, especially on the road, that is encouraging ahead of this match is their ability to score goals. Even during their slump, they scored goals away from home, notching four in their last two. They've only failed to score twice away from home this term.
Santa Clara against Boavista here, meeting of the Portuguese Primeira Liga football which is played tomorrow night at 9.30pm. Slightly favored hosts for the victory of the match come from a 1-2 home defeat against Benfica while the hosts come from a home defeat for 0-1 against Porto. There is no technical gap between these two teams and the guests are one of the most catenacciare teams in the tournament so the chances that they will be able to block the hosts on a draw in my opinion are quite high. So, I am going for a draw here in this match.
Torpedo BelAz surprised at the start of the league with an away win at Shakhtyor Soligorsk. But overall they haven't looked good in 2020. Of the 8 friendlies they won only 2 and in the cup they lost both home and away from Shakhtyor Soligorsk without scoring a goal.

It was a joke, calling them gay, but it really isolated me because my friends were singing it too. It was one of my first experiences of football, and it was a homophobic one. That was a real shocker to me as a 14-year-old, so I hid my sexuality. But it's not just on the terraces that football people have felt the need to hide their sexuality. The story of Justin Fashanu - the first male English professional footballer to come out as gay while still playing - is well known.

Looking forward it will get really tough on all of us as clubs. On Tuesday, the EFL - which governs the Championship, League One and League Two and includes 70 member clubs - announced it would provide a £50m short-term relief fund to help with cash-flow issues because of the pandemic. The fund includes the early release of award payments, and an interest-free loan facility.

Having won the Premier League for the past two seasons, plus the FA Cup and two League Cups, Guardiola said of staying on: "I'm open [to it], yes.

Everton have beaten Chelsea 3-1 and drawn 1-1 at Manchester United in their two Premier League matches so far under Ferguson. They also came from 2-0 down to level with Leicester City in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals - before losing on penalties. I have seen from the performances in the past two weeks that the players are capable of so much," added Ancelotti. The work Duncan has done is a great credit to him.
Or a game at all. Or actually betting at all. Sturridge has actually been banned because it was deemed he shared information with his brother and friends about potential transfer away from Liverpool, to Sevilla and West Brom in 2018, information that was apparently then used for betting. He was originally fined £75,000 and given a six-week ban (four weeks suspended), but the FA appealed against that decision and his punishment increased to a four-month ban and £150,000 fine.
Their blistering style of play has hardly allowed their opponents to get hold of the ball and they have conceded the third least chances of any team in Ligue 1 over the last four games as a result. Strasbourg have lots of reasons to be hopeful ahead of this clash against giants Lyon and the Stade de la Meinau will play a big part in that. They have been incredible at their home stadium this season with seven wins in their ten matches at the Meinau so far.

Premier League and English Football League clubs are set to discuss a collective wage deferral agreement at a meeting with the Professional Footballers' Association on Wednesday. The proposal is one option to help clubs facing financial struggles during the coronavirus crisis. It is also understood the PFA will ask clubs if wage deferrals are justified.

LONDON, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Manchester United's 2-0 win at Chelsea on Monday blew open the race for the Premier League's fourth Champions League qualifying spot, in contrast to the one-horse race for the title which Liverpool seem sure to win. Both coaches, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Frank Lampard, said getting into the Champions League was their focus with almost a third of the season left to play.
You just got to look at it sensibly and say, 'this year I can't afford to pay so I won't do it this year'. After the next television deal they'll hopefully be in a better position, or once the fans start coming back. Their sponsorships go up. All these things come back. I don't see players' wages dropping, that is for sure. Most are on contracts. What I do see is maybe clubs have to look at how they run their club maybe a bit better.
After their 3-0 home win over Sao Paulo at the weekend, Gremio have all but wrapped up their direct passage into the group phase of next year's Copa Libertadores.

But Rangers had said in an earlier statement on their website it was "a gesture used commonly throughout South America to indicate quite simply that something - in this case, the match - is finished".

These two teams relegated from the first league level together last season, and at this moment Maccabi is dominating the second league level while Sakhnin is fighting to end the normal season inside the top 8 places and give themselves some chances to promote from that championship group, but 1st placed so far is clearly going the way of Maccabi who is undefeated in all games in the league this season and are yet to fail to score a goal in their games.

Marseille were crowned league champions the year after his departure.

The Anfield crowd, who were frustrated at times by a lack of intensity and sloppiness, grew anxious as the game wore on - Van Dijk almost passing the ball into his own net following a mix up with Alisson and Trent Alexander-Arnold being caught out of possession on the right.

Whilst a 1-2 home defeat against 2nd placed Real Madrid at the end of November can be marked down as a fair effort all things considered, subsequent 3-0 and 4-1 drubbings away to Granada and Barcelona respectively have piled significant pressure onto the shoulders of boss Asier Garitano.

Ashworth, who joined Brighton after six years in a similar role at the Football Association, feels creative solutions may be needed.
Teale says similar. How we won the way we did, I'll never know," he adds. It wasn't just the result, but the performance given half the squad was made up of people with hardly any caps.

Today, we conceded a penalty on the basis of VAR even though VAR wasn't working. It seems a big injustice to me," said Sarri. If the monitor doesn't work, the (pitch) referee should decide. If it had happened the other way around, the world would have collapsed. I am the first coach to suffer a penalty on the basis of a VAR decision without the referee looking at it," he added.
Kroenke and Arsenal’s desire to hire someone full-time who fits this bill has led them towards late-night meetings with former captain Arteta.

Tottenham have seen their fortunes improve after Jose Mourinho’s arrival but they have failed to match the big boys and go to this game on the back of losses to Manchester United and Bayern Munich. Facing Wolves will however be a lighter task and they will only be worried by their away form.

Going by the two sides’ performances this season, we expect both to score and we feel a draw will be a good bet on this.

Basement club Espanyol also picked up three much-needed points with a 2-1 victory over Villarreal – a first win since October – to move level on points with second-bottom Leganes, but they still remain four off Mallorca.
