Bottom club Watford's miserable season continued with a 3-0 defeat to a clinical Burnley at Vicarage Road in the Premier League on Saturday. Watford have now gone 11 league home games without a win while the victory ended a run of eight away games without a victory for Sean Dyche's Burnley. The visitors took the lead through Kiwi international Chris Wood, who hooked home in the 53rd minute after a James Tarkowski header from a corner was deflected towards him -- the goal was Wood's sixth in six games.
The whole world has changed, so playing some games of football without supporters there is not really that big an issue. Premier League clubs are not being greedy with this, they are just trying to stay alive. Ruud Gullit: The people need it. People would rather see it on TV without any crowds than see nothing at all. And looking at the bigger picture, you don't want to see a Premier League downsized by clubs that have gone bust - because it will be a long time before there are any crowds.
The table is so tight but you need to put a run together, be tough to beat and keep a clean sheet. I'm really pleased with the clean sheet as we haven't had too many of those this season. Our form has been good; we knew it would be hard, but I think we've been competitive. It takes time to gel defensively but we achieved that against Newcastle. On goalscorer Conor Hourihane, Smith added: "I explained to Conor why I left him out against Manchester City [on 26 October].
That was BBC Radio 5 Live summariser Darren Fletcher's view when watching the Denmark international earlier this season. Eriksen failed to secure a move away from Spurs in the summer and Carteret say his performances have dropped by 38. Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho, asked about Eriksen, has said: "I know his future. His contract at Spurs ends in the summer and he has shown no inclination to sign a new deal, meaning chairman Daniel Levy may look to recoup some money in January should a decent offer come in.
But it seems to me that Krumkachi will not win in this match. Or if you want, granite will not lose. Well, firstly, because the first round, and in the first round for all teams, the main thing is not to win, not to lose, so as not to be at the tail of the table with zero points. And secondly, no matter what the layouts before the game, they are still potential, then not only the experts, but even the players and coaches themselves do not fully understand how well they spent the offseason, and what it could lead to on the field. And here, dedication and physical training, coupled with fighting qualities, come into play
He would also ask that they are given the space to do their jobs during what is an extremely challenging time for them and that his own family's privacy is respected. Dalglish, who also played for Celtic, is a revered figure at Anfield, having won six English league titles and three European Cups as a player.
North End, however, were not content to settle for a point and leading scorer Daniel Johnson's 20-yard strike forced a fine fingertip save from Baggies keeper Sam Johnstone after the break. But as stoppage time approached, Edwards latched on to a hopeful ball over the top and went down in the area despite Rudd seeming to do his best to pull out of the challenge. Austin coolly stroked home the penalty - his third goal in as many games - to condemn Preston to a third-straight defeat after losses at Derby and Hull.
The visitors have impressed with a more varied approach to the scoring burden, with Cristiano Ronaldo falling from his high standards. Instead, Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala have stepped up to make an impact, leading this Juve side to average 1.73 goals per game in Serie A. They are looking to add to that, especally as Juventus' Paulo Dybala has scored seven Serie A goals against Lazio, against no other team has he scored more.
Kevin Gameiro should have put Valencia ahead but lashed a golden chance over the bar after the electric Ferran Torres's brilliant run and cross. Sixth-placed Valencia finished by far the stronger, with the draw putting them on 38 points. Atletico, in fourth, have 40 but are 12 adrift of leaders Real Madrid having played a game more.
Third-placed Leicester had looked nailed-on for a top-four finish but a four-game run without a win had allowed Chelsea and Manchester United to start breathing down their necks. Victory re-established a healthy buffer though. They are eight points above in-form United who are fifth and five ahead of fourth-placed Chelsea with nine games remaining.
Thomas Frank's side host Preston on Wednesday, visit Stoke next Saturday and finish the campaign with a home fixture against bottom side Barnsley on 22 July. Said Benrahma bent in his 17th goal of the season from a wicked angleAnd with their front three of Mbeumo, Watkins and Benrahma in such fine form, it appears few defences will be able to stop the highest scoring team in the Championship.

The former Bristol City star has earned her first three Lionesses caps and ex-England forward and pundit Sue Smith believes Hemp can become "a mainstay" for the national team.

Meanwhile, Astrio also have great result on last match in club friendlies due to Astro has been defeat Ullared with score 3-1.

Therefore, Angelholm have more chance to beat Astro with margin minimal 3 goals.
I am here to try to analyze this game which is between Dunshanbe fc and CSKA Pomir, that is the meeting between the team ranked 9th against the team ranked 8th. The hosts have held the Fayzkand Vose, they have no win recorded yet so I think this not their opportunity to get three points because the team which they are facing is a very tough. The visitors take it easy to pocket three points when they defeat Lokomotive Pamir fc at their home soil by three goals to one and before that they have lost their last away game by two goals against Istikolol so I except away win.
Arteta appreciated Ozil's efforts but the trick is to get him on repeat. Easier said than done. There may be a question of whether Arteta withdrew Ozil too early with Arsenal ahead but in reality he had tired and the introduction of the energetic Joe Willock was understandable. The hard evidence of Arsenal's two most high-profile players prepared to do the dirty work is certainly early credit in the bank for Arteta.
The Clarets’ 4-2 FA Cup Third Round win over lower league Peterborough last weekend was a welcome one, though it would have done little to lift the spirits of a squad that were beaten in six of their last eight Premier League fixtures.
We expect a few changes from the hosts – who are no strangers to rotation across the season. However, we do think the Coppa Italia holders will have too much on the day for Cremonese. The visitors come here with one win and five defeats from their nine away trips in the league, so Lazio should win this comfortably.

Goteborg, despite losing to Elfsborg in the opening match, but in the second match, they quickly got up with a 1-0 victory at Varberg Stadium, a victory that was important for Goteborg, and confirming they are still maintaining the necessary stability.

But we are in very special and difficult times, and it remains a health issue so the thought of large groups of people coming together and not practising social distancing is a difficult one. We've all got to get to a position where we feel it can be done safely without jeopardising people's health and that has to be the starting point for people. The next point then is what provisions can the clubs put in place to prevent people coming, and obviously we can use legislation where it's applicable to stop that as well.
Match in the Czech Republic between 5th, Slovan Liberec and 6th Ostrava. Both teams still hope to get into 3rd place. So, basically this is a game between two teams fighting for a place in the playoffs and they are currently in this area, so I think a draw in this game would work for both teams.

Guests away from home have lost 2 games and won only one game and for this I go with this bet for the locals.

Despite coming from an horrible streak of 5 losses in a row which have increased their gap to the top of the table, Cracovia seems to be favorite in this match vs Lechia: Cracovia can still count on one of the best defenses of the whole League and their attack has also been quite good, having scored an average of more than a goal per match. Cracovia comes from 3 wins in a row vs Lechia Gdansk and in the last 2 Lechia hasn't even been able to score any goal. Considering the good defense shown by Cracovia so far, Lechia should score no goal this time too and the visitors could win.
