I'm proud of the effort of the team. It's a massive disappointment to all of us, especially the players. Birmingham deserved to get to extra time with the effort we put in and how smart everyone played. That's the difference when you play with a team with such quality. Any chance can cost you a result. We need to congratulate Leicester because they made it through. We're still on the build and we need to keep going.
A statement said: "Arsenal personnel who had recent close contact with Mikel will now self-isolate in line with government health guidelines. We expect this to be a significant number of people from [training centre] Colney, including the full first-team squad and coaching staff, as well as a smaller number of people from our Hale End Academy, which we have also temporarily closed. It comes after Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Olympiakos - the Greek side who played Arsenal in the Europa League in February - announced he had coronavirus on 10 March.
But Infantino said it was vital the game stayed together in dealing with the problems. Thus far, the world football community has shown a sense of solidarity and unity in the face of this threat and we should continue to do the same when thinking about how we will address the consequences we will have to face for the future of our game, once this serious risk to human health is behind us," said Infantino.
There was always going to be a tough period for Brentford this season. The departure of Neal Maupay was a blow, but he wasn’t their most impressive forward. Saïd Benrahma has more talent, while Ollie Watkins has slid into a central role with 13 goals this season. Since the start of last season, Benrahma has provided more assists than any other Brentford player in the Championship (19), assisting two of the Bees' last four goals.

Brighton v Sheffield United as it happenedReaction to Saturday's Premier League actionWilder wins battle of homegrown bossesIn a battle of two emerging English managers at the Amex, it was Sheffield United's Wilder who came out on top.

A quick glance at the league table shows that Bolton are floundering. They're on just seven points and are 18 points from safety. On this basis, they're a down and outs, no-hopers, a lost cause. However, it's always important to remember that they started the season with a points deduction and had virtually no senior playing staff until the end of September.

Shkupi will be taking on Pandev in this round of the top tier in Macedonia this afternoon and I believe we will have a win for the hosts who have a better form compared to the visitors when they are playing at home. The hosts have managed to score an average of 1.4 goals in their games at home and they should manage to score a goal in this game for the win in my view. The visitors have managed to score an average of 0.6 goals in their games on the road and may not be able to get a goal in this game
Things haven't always gone Doncaster's way at Keepmoat this season, though what has been constant has been the attacking threat of Moore's men, who've scored in each of their last nine home matches. In addition to scoring 21 goals at home this season, Donny have been strong in terms of shots on target. In that area, they rank as the third-best team in the division.

However, they face a difficult clash on Wednesday night when Cardiff are the visitors to Griffin Park.
Metropolitan Police against Wimborne Town here, meeting of the Southern League Southern Division English soccer which is played tonight at 8.45pm. Favorite hosts for the victory of the match come from a 1-0 away defeat by Biggleswade Town while guests are coming from an away success 0-1 over Harrow. The home side is in good form. The Metropolitan Police is the strongest team here and I think it will not lose this match, which could end in a draw anyway as guests go through a good period of form. Let's try a sign AH +0 and Good Luck to everyone! ;-)
Setubal are in seventh, giving them a chance to feature in the Europa League next term. The visitors come here just five points shy of the top four, while a spot in the top five could be enough to make it into the Europa League this summer. They may need to make strides on the road if they’re to do that, with the visitors losing half of their away games this season and winning just one.
What is interesting about this game is that they met at Maritzburg stadium one month ago and back than Supersport won the game with 2-0 in the end this while last season at home against this same opponent they also won the game with 1-0 in the end that time. At this moment Supersport even defeated the league leaders from Kaizer at home last round with 2-1 in the end and it was only the 2nd defeat for Kaiser in 15 games in the league this season, so you can understand why odds are not the best for the home win here.

Every time we tried to press they played around us with the quality they have got. All the stuff that gets talked about in academies, with young coaches - just look at what they did in terms of the basic stuff that gives you an opportunity to play and dominate. That's what they did to us. Not only technically, but tactically, they are a fantastic side. We have been well beaten. People talk about us having afternoons and nights like this when we came to the Premier League.

In recent weeks, Lincoln's goal-scoring problems have alleviated somewhat. The Imps have notched a pleasing eight goals in their last three matches, which given where they were not long ago, is excellent. However, this increase in forward productivity have coincided with an increased in defensive vulnerability. Lincoln have conceded seven in their last three matches, while they're now without a clean sheet in five matches. They were conceding the odd goal before but were generally tough to score lots against.
Bundesliga 1. Team Werder from Bremen will host team Bayern Munchen. Guests are without big motivation in this game. They are champions in this season.

It is the second reason for hosts to get revenge in this match. My bet on hosts how +0.5 AH. Odds are high on this way . I recommend to try this bet with me in this meeting !
Ianis Hagi replaces Ryan Jack.

Palace definitely won't win the FA Cup this season, so who will? "Manchester City - 110%," said Filly. For me, City are the most complete team, not just in the Premier League but in the world. Don't get me wrong, Liverpool are an elite team as well but let's look at their bench - City's is 10 times better, and I cannot really think of any other teams anywhere who have as many elite players in each position as them.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has called the Premier League's festive schedule dangerous, while Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo says it is "absurd".

Chelsea are going well and picked up another three points against Aston Villa but, now they have made the change, I just fancy Everton to get something from this one. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Andy's prediction: 1-2 Bournemouth v LiverpoolIn contrast to Everton, whatever Liverpool do at the moment just keeps on working out for them. I was at Anfield for the Merseyside derby and my thoughts when I saw Jurgen Klopp's much-changed side to face Everton can be summed up in one word - 'gamble'.

Another lines which I don't understand. The season in Serbia is over. Vojvodina are going to finish at the 4th or 3rd place doesn't matter while Partizan at the 2nd. Both teams are in very good shape but they can come into this match without any pressure or burden on their back. Another thing is that this teams will face each other at the Serbian Cup final only 5 days from now so I think that both coaches will rest their key players and will not force anything and to risk some potential injury to some important players. Both teams should settle in here for a draw.
EXCELLENT SAVE! Lucas Moura gets in space on the left of the Middlesbrough area.

Paper Round’s view: If the situation were different, or the race for the title was tighter, then a more compelling case to start again in August could be made.
