Celta Vigo has been struggling for the relegation ticket for the last few seasons, this season also happening with the same scenario as Celta Vigo is 19th in the rankings. With 17 points, Celta Vigo needs a victory to hope to escape the red-handed group because the 17th team is just 1 point ahead of them. However, before the opponent is Sevilla, it is likely that Celta Vigo will not be able to get what they need, they will continue to lose and cannot improve their position. Sevilla failed to qualify for the Champions League last season, which is very disappointing for Julen Lopetegui's team. This season they will be more determined for a position in the top 4 and the current situation is still as expected when they are ranked fourth on the rankings.

The German manager told Sky Sports: "First and foremost the result is the most important thing. One team deserved to win and that was us. To win at Tottenham is pretty special. That the game wasn’t decided after 50-60 minutes was our fault. It was very intense for us. You can expect them to defend deep in this stadium, but it was 4-6-0 in the first half.
Getty Images 09:00 - No NBA decision until May The NBA doesn't expect to have a decision about the status of the 2019-20 season until at least May, commissioner Adam Silver said. The short answer is no," Silver told TNT. Essentially what I've told my folks over the last week is that we should just accept that, at least for the month of April, we won't be in a position to make any decisions.
The bulk of the problem is midfield. They need at least two players in midfield and at least one of them is going to have to be creative. They also need someone who is happy to sit in the middle of the park and show for the ball, to start the play. They're missing someone who’s willing to go wide to get the ball, and someone’s willing to drop off.
Meanwhile, Villa have been living off the Carabao Cup final and I think it will cost them a place in the Premier League in the end. Did you know? Only Stuart Armstrong (five) created more chances than Djenepo (four) in Southampton's 2-0 win over Aston Villa.

At the moment it's almost a free-for-all: it's like the government, Premier League and sections of the media have set the players up to fall," he added.

Hamilton should have had a penalty when Goldson made an awful mess of a diving header, blocking a cross with a flailing left arm and then landing face-first on the ball. He got away with the gaffe. Then at the death, Miller flummoxed Barisic and was only denied by a terrific Glen Kamara cover tackle. The substitute was injured in the process and had to be substituted himself by Blair Alston. Rangers reset and got a grip of the game after the break.

While not commenting on those decisions, Martin did express some concern about the schedule of NIFL's top three divisions coming out of sync with the junior leagues. That is something we have to discuss with all parties and it [an overlap of seasons] is a concern.

A move to a 14-10-10-10 system appears the most likely, as no club would find themselves in a worse position than they were when football was suspended on 13 March. However, there are still hurdles to overcome. Some clubs feel that unless the financial situation becomes clearer, it is a pointless discussion. If some clubs can't afford to restart until fans can return to grounds, how can the number of teams in each division be decided? Hearts owner Ann Budge's quest for change still has life, but there is plenty of work to do.

We will see more people watching games online and on TV than ever before and I think that's fantastic. I also think it puts pressure on broadcasters to televise our games," said Beckie. Beckie also said improvements can be made in marketing and encourages WSL clubs to merge their social media accounts with the men's channels - something Manchester City did in 2018. That means we are now getting viewers who can see when our games are on.
In fact there aren't many players who are prepared to deliver a pass on the run without taking a touch first. However, Henderson is in such blistering form I think he's capable of anything at the moment. I've said repeatedly in this column that the Liverpool captain is playing the football of his life and a shoo-in for Footballer of the Year. Did you know? Henderson has both scored and assisted twice in his last three Premier League matches, as many times as he had done so in 131 games prior to this run.

With injuries to a numbers of wide players in his squad, Lennon opted for a set-up that would minimise the need for traditional wingers and moved away from the 4-3-3 favoured by predecessor Brendan Rodgers. The formation not only worked for Lennon as a player but was also one that he has admired watching the teams of Italian coach Antonio Conte. It was because we had a lot of wingers out at the one time," he said.

Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers said it was no coincidence their recent blip - two points from four games - came during midfielder Wilfried Ndidi's absence. Ndidi was back, and so too is Vardy. Villa were already ahead when the 33-year-old Englishman replaced Kelechi Iheanacho after 59 minutes. The first thing he did was slot a spot-kick down the centre after Mings had been penalised for handball. The ball appeared to hit centre-back Mings' shoulder - but the decision stood after a check by the video assistant referee.

Chelsea is strong favorite in this duel against Burnley, quality is on their side, and it will be a big surprise if they not win in this duel with more than 1.5 goals. Visitors are defeated in last three rounds in a row, Barnes and Wood will be in attack, but their efficiency is on low level, and I doubt that Burnley is able to score a goal against very strong defense of the host. Chelsea is at 4th place at standings, in last round they played a draw at away against Brighton, William and Abraham will be in attack, Jorginho will be behind them, an easy victory for Chelsea with more than 1.5 goals AH.
Spurs' 7-2 defeat to Bayern Munich was the biggest home defeat of an English team in any European competitionThey are back on course to reach the knockout phase but as Levy said in his statement: "Regrettably domestic results at the end of last season and the beginning of this season have been extremely disappointing. Spurs are currently 14th in the Premier League, 11 points behind Manchester City in fourth place, winning only three of their first 12 top-flight games.
Not since 1975 have they won 15 or more top-flight matches. It was also another clean sheet which means Burnley keeper Nick Pope takes his tally to 15 - the most of any keeper in the league. He had a quiet evening but reacted well to a late effort from Onel Hernandez which deflected off a defender, and kept out a diving header from Godfrey in the first half. Pope is on course to become the first goalkeeper from a club outside the established 'big six' to win the Golden Glove award, and team-mate Wood told Sky Sports afterwards they would be "fighting like hell" to help him achieve it.
Wolves, who had only lost twice in their previous 15 league games, pressed for an equaliser as Ben Foster saved Matt Doherty's header and Ruben Neves fired over in stoppage time. However, Pearson's team showed grit and determination to move level on points with West Ham and sit one point behind 17th-placed Bournemouth.
Jim Goodwin's side has struggled for goals this season, although not so much in recent weeks despite some bad results along the way, with the Buddies scoring at least once in 3 of their last 5 games but have averaged a measly 0.83 goals in their home ties this season. However, their defensive record on home soil has been impressive too, as the Paisley outfit has conceded just 0.33 times and has conceded in only 2 of their 6 home games.
Many communities could lose the clubs at their heart with little chance of resurrection. In the face of this unprecedented adversity, all the stakeholders within the game from players, fans, clubs, owners and administrators need to step up and share the pain to keep the game alive," he said. The Premier League and the Football League divisions have not played for a month due to the virus and a nationwide lockdown, and Clarke said a plan needed to be put in place if the disruption continues into next season.
Three of the last four matches between these teams have gone over this total very easily. They have been high scoring teams overall and played in some really open matches between each other. Each team is in good form at the moment and both teams look attacking enough to once again make this 4 or 5 goal match up. They are both getting a high number of shots on target and both are in good form, there will be chances for both to score, they will both want to win the match so this could increase the goals too in the game
Jahanbakhsh became the fifth different Brighton player to score a Premier League goal as a substitute this season, more than any other side in the competition. Despite only coming on as a 68th-minute substitute, no Brighton player had more shots (three) or created more chances (three) than goalscorer Jahanbakhsh. What's next?Brighton are at home to Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup on Saturday (15:01 GMT) and the following day Chelsea host Nottingham Forest in the competition (14:01 GMT).
