Unai Emery has been sacked as Arsenal manager after 18 months in charge. The Spaniard, who previously led Paris St-Germain to the French league title and won three Europa Leagues with Sevilla, was appointed Gunners boss in May 2018, succeeding Arsene Wenger. He is to be replaced on a temporary basis by assistant and former Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg. Arsenal said the decision had been "taken due to results and performances not being at the level required".
Two alternative scenarios Coutinho should therefore "fight" to get another chance at Barcelona, according to the former Barca star. Rivaldo said: " I believe in his quality, but a lot will depend on whether he has the necessary mental strength. The experience from the Bundesliga should have woken him up and shown that Barca is the right place for him.
WEDNESDAY’S BIG STORIES Haaland of hope and glory We were promised a goalfest. And for more than an hour, it looked as though we were all going home unhappy. Borussia Dortmund’s kids and PSG’s galacticos were bouncing off one another, nothing was quite coming together, and it was all very frustrating … until Erling Braut Haaland sniffed a loose ball in the penalty area, stuck out his leg, and kicked the knockout stages of the Champions League into gear.

Birmingham are no strangers to a high scoring clash themselves, as they return home following three high scoring clashes around the turn of the year – including their dramatic 5-4 loss to Leeds. Has that set us up for another thrilling clash when these two meet on Saturday?
Nonetheless, although they are unbeaten in 4 games, Boca have been dropping points a bit too often in recent matches and have now won just 2 of their last 6 league outings. Coupled with their typical struggles against the hosts, it certainly won't be an easy win for the visitors if they are to secure it.
Ado Onaiwu and Teruhito Nakagawa both netted braces for Marinos, who followed up a win over two-time champions Jeonbuk Motors to take command of the standings. Jeonbuk and Sydney have zero points while China's Shanghai SIPG have yet to begin their campaign. In the western half of the competition, Xavi Hernandez's Al Sadd from Qatar bounced back from an opening day draw against Al Nassr from Saudi Arabia in Group D to defeat Iran's Sepahan 3-0, with Asian Player of the Year Akram Afif opening the scoring before Hassan Al Haydos hit a brace.
Lille dominated from the start and were rewarded when Remy fired home from Renato Sanches' cutback. They came close to doubling the tally six minutes into the second half but Jonathan Ikone's attempt from just inside the box crashed against the post. Earlier, Rennes had the chance to make the most of Marseille's 2-2 draw against Amiens on Friday and they duly delivered.
Les Athéniens are one of three teams to have beaten leaders Lens this season and they have put much of their success down to a rock solid defence. Valenciennes have conceded the least goals in Ligue 2 this season (11 in 19 matches) and have five clean sheets in their last seven games in all competitions. They are one of the lowest scoring teams in the league but that hasn't been the case recently as they have netted twelve times in their last seven matches.
While Girona are only a few points shy of being on course to complete their goal, Extremadura are only a few points away from achieving what they set out to, which was of course to stay in the division. Thursday's visitors are in the drop-zone at present, which is never really a good thing, but they are just a point away from being safe, so all is not lost just yet.
Despite Augsburg's impressive record in recent weeks, we feel that high-flying Leipzig are still likely to outscore them and earn all three points from this Saturday's fixture. Leipzig are the Bundesliga's top scorers at present. They have scored a total of 45 goals in their 16 Bundesliga games.
Challandes said that fitted his own belief. That is my football as a coach," said Challandes. My football has always been positive, very offensive with high pressing and with risk. It's not about aesthetics, it's just clear in my mind that gives me a better chance of winning. When he took charge in 2018, Challandes said his aim was to "build a team with a match philosophy, and with discipline".

Unique designs like these resonate with a lot of football clubs. For a long while, they have had stock kits from a manufacturer. You and your neighbours could have been wearing the same kit design, just in a different colour.
Jalapa will host Diriangen for this fixture of the league. I believe, the visitors are small favorites in this game. Diriangen is one of the ambitious teams in this season. They are currently on the 2nd place with 30 points. Of course, they will try to make a positive result. Also, Diriangen have better results in the last mutual matches. Also, we have Jalapa who's is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 5th place with 22 points. Yeah, the hosts have a little chance. Maybe this is - draw. In any case, the visitors are stronger team.
Orlando City topped their group with seven points to advance to the second round of the MLS is Back Tournament and in the quarter finals, will be taking on Los Angeles FC, who finished second with five points in their group. Orlando City had a slim 1-0 win over Montreal Impact in their second round match, making it their fourth unbeaten outing at the tournament.
The Inter Milan man was also the Libertadores top scorer with nine goals. But Jesus' team also has the crucial contribution of veteran full-backs: former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid defender Filipe Luis and Rafinha, a Bayern Munich legend. Playmakers Everton Ribeiro and Giorgian De Arrascaeta - an Uruguayan who barely got playing time for his country in Russia 2018 - are also fan favourites. In goal, 34-year-old former Sevilla man Diego Alves is not as famous as his countryman Alisson, but was voted the best goalkeeper in Brazil this year.
Fresh doubt has been cast over the future of Bury Football Club after they defaulted on a plan to help settle their outstanding debts. Creditors approved a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) proposal last July which would have seen the club's football creditors paid in full. Unsecured creditors, including HMRC, were due to be paid 25% of money owed. Bury, who were expelled from the English Football League last August, had until Tuesday to pay the CVA.
Liverpool have been deliberately keeping the lid on the growing inevitability that the pain of 30 years without a league title would be relieved within a matter of weeks - but the explosion of joy around Anfield in the closing seconds of victory over Manchester United sounded like the moment of release. The Premier League title race has been over for weeks, no matter how many words of caution came out of Liverpool or how many messages of defiance came from the direction of Manchester City and Leicester City.

This was a superb performance where fringe players came in and delivered alongside some of the established stars. After the craziness of the first period, the Reds controlled the second to see out an impressive triumph. The one minor frustration for the German will be that elusive clean sheet (13 games) as some sloppy defending allowed Everton to stay in touch for the majority of the contest.

I know what it means for the city and the supporters, who have come a million miles to get here tonight, a couple of thousand of them," said Bruce. We are into the next round. We have made hard work of it against Rochdale and now Oxford but I think we thoroughly deserved to get through. I think it is significant for the club to get into the fifth round for the first time since 2006. Reaction to the FA Cup fourth-round replaysFA Cup fifth-round drawNewcastle had looked to be cruising to victory as they protected a two-goal lead given to them before half-time courtesy of Sean Longstaff's rising 15th-minute drive and Joelinton's composed finish for only his third goal of the season.
Southampton's energy levels dipped in the second half, but they held on to restrict Spurs to just one shot on target after the break. It was their fourth clean sheet of a campaign that has veered away from the depths of the 9-0 humiliation at St Mary's by Leicester on 25 October towards signs that Southampton can stay in the Premier League with some comfort. Bad day for Spurs and MourinhoAs brilliant as Ings' goal was, it underlined a defensive frailty that continues to hang around Spurs despite an upturn in results under Mourinho.

Goias will against Sol de America in match Copa Sudamericana. My prediction this match could be the won for Goias with margin score is 2 goals. Goias have not great result on last match due to Goias have lose from Sol de America with margin score is 1-0. Meanwhile, Sol de America only need score is draw to make sure the next round.

Surely Goias will excited to win on this match due to Goias need win margin 2 goals.
Like Klopp, Werner is wary of getting ahead of himself, even if Pep Guardiola, manager of a Manchester City side that are a distant second, has already accepted defeat in his attempt to win three successive championships. The level of competition in this league is so great eventually you think you are going to have an off day," said Werner. But that hasn't happened yet, which is a great compliment to Jurgen because obviously, the team is playing at peak talent every week.
Granada could have found the net themselves with Yan Brice Eteki striking the post with a long-range drive in the second half. However, the visitors were reduced to 10 men shortly after when German Sanchez was foolishly shown a second yellow card for fouling Messi. That left Granada short-handed and ultimately crippled them.
Representatives of European clubs and leagues will join national federations on an emergency video-conference call on Tuesday. The 24-team Euro 2020 tournament, scheduled to be held in 12 countries from June 12-July 12, could be pushed back a year which would create a longer window for national leagues to finish their seasons.

However, if they are to use this platform and go on to challenge for promotion, then they know that they need to turn some of these stalemates into wins as they have already had to share the spoils on 11 occasions this term. It is not as if it is something which has been improving in their recent outings either as they have drawn five of their previous seven league matches.
Under the SPFL plan final positions would be allocated on an average points-per-game basis. It is unlikely to be a clearcut vote though with the likes of Rangers, Hearts and Partick Thistle set to oppose the plans, while clubs such as Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers, all top of their respective divisions and standing to gain, likely to vote in favour.
It is not an easy situation. We feel hurt by the fact that we recovered 11 points to go to the fourth position in the Premier League and then arrive in a situation where we are really in trouble. But tomorrow is one game. We are losing 1-0 at halftime and we have a second half now to play and we go with everything we have.
Donato was a person who you couldn't not love. British Cycling furloughs 90 roles British Cycling CEO Julie Harrington has confirmed 90 roles - around a third of the workforce – will be furloughed, with the governing body "planning for a significant drop in income of around £4million". Harrington also confirms members of the leadership team, including herself, will take a 10% pay cut.
I ask them how they all slept the night before after each training session. Then I deal with any individual issues, like this one. Washing powder and ornamentsA number of players who come in on loan tell Wilson they are struggling to sleep. He says they often feel "a bit lonely" and are not used to being away from home. The room feels very alien to them so we do small things like get their parents to send the washing powder they have used at home, just to recreate that homely smell," he says.
The most hotly-contested positions were right back, with Branislav Ivanovic (57%) edging out Cesar Azpilicueta (41%), and the final midfield slot, with Claude Makelele's 48% of selections just seeing off Michael Essien's 36%. The only forward player who really got near to ousting one of Eden Hazard, Drogba or Arjen Robben was Diego Costa, who got selected in 20% of teams. Aguero, Tevez and Sterling in a three-pronged attack? Here is the team you selected from Man City's Premier League winnersSergio Aguero, perhaps unsurprisingly, was Manchester City's most-selected player, being picked in 99% of team selections.
Ulsan scored no less than 7 goal in their opening two games of the season as especially their Brazilian veteran striker Negao is feeling his scoring boots on at this moment scoring both from open play and also from the penalty spot if given the chance. For example last round they were 2-0 down away at Suwon, and still won the game with 3-2 in the end being very attacking minded and scoring goal after goal in that one, Negao once more scoring for them.
Liverpool want this title done and dusted and only a second spike of Covid-19 can stop them - that is why there can be no delay. The Reds face Crystal Palace at Anfield on Wednesday and without their fans in the stadium, getting over the finishing line might be more difficult than first envisaged. Did you know? Of the 116 goalkeepers to have played at least 50 Premier League games, Liverpool's Alisson has the best clean-sheet ratio of 54% with 32 in 59 matches.
Hearts' plight was by far and away the highlight for Hibs fans. Christian Doidge came good and finished with 12 league goals, the first Hibs striker to hit double figures in the Premiership since Griffiths. Hibs were too timid and too easy to score against all season, conceding 49 times, the highest number of any of the top nine clubs. They're missing some steel and some resilience, but unlike their dear friends across the city, they got themselves through a tough patch and they'll be glad of that small mercy.
Restricting teams is something that Verona have done well at home this term. Their defeat to Roma was the first time that they'd conceded more than one, while they've also kept three clean sheets. Only Lazio and Inter Milan have kept more home clean sheets than Verona in Serie A this term.
Mainz suffered a defeat to Augsburg, which gave an end to their 2 consecutive wins in the Bundesliga. Since the beginning of the season, Mainz have lost in 9 matches and are ranked 13th in the table. If Mainz continues to maintain this mediocre performance, they will surely face relegation troubles.
