Football pays tributeStoke tweeted their condolences to Afobe, saying: "The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Stoke City are with Benik Afobe following this morning's tragic news. We'll be with you, Benik. His former club Wolverhampton Wanderers also sent a message of support, tweeting: "Our hearts break for Benik Afobe and his family following the tragic news of his daughter's passing this weekend.
Having taken just 4 points from their last 5 matches, Mark Bowen's troops aren't in good shape and confidence can't be high coming into the game. Reading have also won just twice away from home all season in the Championship and that doesn't leave their prospects looking the brightest coming into Saturday's game.
If things are the same then as they are now, with the number of people who are dying, then we are not going to be talking about football. As of now, I am giving my opinion based on the situation at the moment and, right now, we still have time and the desire of the majority of football people to get things done. As things change, you reassess. What happens if we cannot finish it? As things stand, Villa would climb out of the relegation zone if they win their game in handMichael Brown: A lot has been said about Liverpool and the title, but really that would be the easiest one of the lot to sort out.
Jurgen Klopp’s team are 25 points clear at the top of the table with nine games to play. Merseyside was primed for celebration. Then Coronavirus intervened. It’s massively frustrating,” said Andy Heaton from the Anfield Wrap, Liverpool’s most prominent multimedia fan site. The end of the season was supposed to be a procession.
Each of Serge Aurier's last seven league goals have been scored at seven different grounds: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Vitality Stadium, Wembley Stadium, Parc des Princes, Stade de la Beaujoire, Stadium Municipal and Roazhon Park. Since the start of last season, Matt Doherty has netted eight Premier League goals, the joint-most of all defenders in the competition alongside Virgil van Dijk.
Instead, they reminisced about the good times. All the time we spent together was special, all that allowed us to win,” observed Figo. Despite being such well-known players, each one knew what to do and how he had to work. That allowed us to have so many good moments. Figo won La Liga twice with Real Madrid - in 2001 and 2003 - as well as winning the Champions League in 2002, plus four Spanish Super Cups.
I was developing bit by bit. Mbappe is already in his peak at 20. Insigne ruled out of Liverpool crunch clash Napoli have been dealt yet another blow with the news that Lorenzo Insigne out of Wednesday's Champions League clash with Liverpool at Anfield. The winner will seal qualification for the round of 16, while the loser will be vulnerable to a late charge from third-placed Red Bull Salzburg.
I don't have to offer any advice to other teams' players. Ancelotti set for Everton? Everton have made Carlo Ancelotti their top choice to succeed Marco Silva as manager, Sky Sports report. Duncan Ferguson has been in temporary charge on Merseyside and has overseen an upturn in form and would remain on the first team coaching staff.
In three of the remaining four, Inter have conceded two goals and to be able to challenge Juventus for the title, the defence will have to be fixed. Remarkably though, Inter have scored in all except two of their 34 league matches this season and have had a good run at home, winning 10 and losing just two of the 17.
Several leagues across Europe – most notably Serie A - have postponed games in an attempt to stem the spread of the virus, with reports suggesting that some governing bodies had turned to UEFA to request that the European body postpone its blue ribbon event. However, a UEFA spokesperson denied those reports late on Tuesday.

Runners-up three times in the past four seasons, they have slumped to eleventh in the table and have lost four of their five Serie A matches since Gennaro Gattuso replaced Carlo Ancelotti -- who himself had taken Sarri's place -- in December. Juventus have opened up a four-point lead over Inter Milan, who host Cagliari in Sunday's midday match at San Siro on a weekend which also features the Derby della Capitale between AS Roma and third-placed Lazio -- themselves aiming for a remarkable 12th successive league win.

And now that they're not in Italy, they feel maybe relief they can play in this game. We have to be ready for that," Klopp told reporters. Napoli gave us a proper fight at Anfield last season (in a 1-0 win). We expect them to be strong. Whatever has happened, I don't have a real idea. But if I was a player, I'd be trying to bring the group together and fight the things from outside.
They highlight that many people are dependant on football for their income – not just players – and fear the industry could “turn ugly very quickly”. Here’s general secretary Jonas Baer-Hoffman: "For the first time in decades, we're facing a real, consistent economic crisis in the industry… We must look at the socio-economic impact of coronavirus.

However, it was in the afterglow of Chelsea's FA Cup triumph that Bonetti experienced what was probably the toughest moment of his career in June 1970 at the World Cup in Mexico. Bonetti only won seven England caps because Banks was manager Sir Alf Ramsey's understandable first choice and fierce competition was supplied by the likes of Sheffield Wednesday's Ron Springett, Gordon West of Everton and Manchester United's Alex Stepney.
The striker tapped home a Harvey Barnes cross from close range to bring up his top-flight century as the Foxes won for the first time since the restart. Having failed to find the net in three games since the Premier League's resumption, Vardy then added a second, running clear of the Palace defence before chipping a neat finish past Vicente Guaita.
PSV have won their last seven encounters with Zwolle and have kept clean sheets in five of those matches. The hosts also kept a clean sheet in their last home game against Fortuna Sittard while Zwolle have failed to score in two of their last three matches, so you can begin to see why we have backed PSV to win-to-nil on Saturday.
TALKING POINT Silva hanging by a thread. Leicester's bid to confirm the murmurs that they could sneak their way into becoming Liverpool's main title rivals were enhanced here, with the type of belief and togetherness that was reminiscent of the ingredients that saw them crowned shock champions back in 2016.
I thought I was onside for my goal, but I didn't want to celebrate just in case. I got back into position. Manchester United defender Harry Maguire: "As a team we are improving but we want to improve a lot more. To not win games at home is disappointing. We huffed and puffed but we need to do better and Wednesday [home to Spurs] gives us a great opportunity to put that right. We were poor after their first goal.

Liverpool appear to have the Premier League title sewn up - but can they stay unbeaten for the whole season?BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson does not often back the Reds to lose, but he thinks it is a big ask for Jurgen Klopp's side to emulate the 'Invincibles' of Preston in 1888-89 and Arsenal in 2003-04. They will win the league early, and if they are still in the Champions League then Klopp will make that the priority," Lawrenson said.
English football is heading towards its third weekend without games and, with no end in sight to the lockdown, the first cracks are beginning to appear in what had previously been a united front. In the "professional game", which covers the Premier League and Football League, there is now an acceptance there will be no immediate resumption. The Premier League clubs are due to meet again on 3 April, when it is almost certain the current postponement of all games until 30 April will be extended again.
It’s like he was back on the playground or in the back garden. We want them to have fun, there’s nothing dangerous out there - just 75,00 people, wanting to see the best," he said. With some questioning Solskjaer after the club's worst start to a season since 1988-89, the win which moved United up to sixth, was a major boost.
There are now more 'lone wolves', with local gangs and syndicates more common. And yet, throughout this time, particularly from 2009, betting amounts have become larger. Match-fixing has evolved from a pastime or side hustle into a business. The financing aspect had evolved too, he said. We have observed an increase in adoption of cryptocurrency as a payment method for illegal activities and a medium to bet.
Having not let in a single goal in any of their three home matches in the group stage, it would be a surprise to see Sevilla concede on Thursday. Nerves on the night could be a factor and could lead to sloppiness at the back. However, we think that Sevilla will be able to navigate their way through the fixture comfortably. Back the home side to win without conceding.
It was in the Leeds culture. The heart has to be outside the shirt. There was a great buzz around the city," O'Leary adds. You couldn't wait for the next match to come along. Everybody was amazed at how far we were going. Not dissimilar to Leeds' plight in the time since, Deportivo La Coruna have fallen a long way from their revered standing within Spanish and European football around the turn of the millennium.

Around this time, it was announced publicly I was clear of cancer. Everyone was sending me messages but I still had another big hurdle to go. It was six weeks from the end of my chemo before I could get that surgery done. It was a five-and-a-half-hour operation. Waiting for that was the hardest part because I was in no man's land.
But if we now move to a situation where there's no money coming in, those losses of £20-30m a year in the Championship could easily extend. Cardiff boss Neil Harris said on Saturday that he expects player wages to fall and the game to "adjust" when football returns. He told BBC Wales Sport: "I think football in general and as a whole, I think it will reshape it, starting in the lower leagues upwards.
Top-flight football across Europe has ground to a halt as a result of the spread of the coronavirus, with national and continental club competitions suspended or postponed. 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.
The clubs are right next to each other in the table with Napoli sixth on 51 points and AC Milan seventh on 49. With Sassuolo a distant six points further back in eighth, it seems unlikely that either club will be kicked out of the top seven before the season's end. Napoli's Coppa Italia win means that seventh will be a Europa League spot, assuming they stay in the top six or occupy seventh place themselves.
Another match where both teams are going to fight for that promotion in fact for that play off place. Both teams for this match are having quite a few absences so the coaches will have to rotate a bit. Virtus Entella are at the 11th place with 38 pts and overall of 10 - 8 - 11 ; 36 - 38 while Salernitana are at the 7th place with 43 pts and overall of 12 - 7 - 10 ; 37 - 33. Both teams lately are very shaky at the back and are not trustworthy for sure so I don't think that we are going to see one open match here.
Reaction to Tuesday's Premier League actionAguero helps City come through tough testIt is hard to imagine that a manager who has won trophies wherever he has worked is claiming he can still learn from others, but that's exactly what Pep Guardiola said prior to this game. The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss spoke highly of Sheffield United under Chris Wilder, saying they are a team he can learn from.
Calling them into question would be a death sentence for our sport," he said. In his closing remarks, not including in the pre-written script of his speech, Ceferin also said officials should remember their role. No football administrator, no matter the size of the ego should think we are the stars of the game.
I'm 100 per cent here,” he told RMC Sport. As soon as he (Mikel Arteta) got here, he put things on the table. He made it clear what he expected from us and that it was non-negotiable. Everyone has got to work. Everyone wanted to make an effort because we have pride there too. We wanted to regain the taste for victory and please our supporters.
Slutsk reserves have played a very high scoring football in their latest match in the reserves league in Belarus. In the latest match they have lost to Isloch Minsk reserves and conceded 4 goals. Before that they have recorded a 5-1 win in the match against Brest 2.
Everton are by far the better side here. Norwich are still struggling after their promotion to the Premier League, despite their fine finish in the Championship last season. They have the second worst defence in the league, and they don’t score a lot. That, and their performance on the road, are the major factors as to why they are bottom of the standings. While Everton have scored at least two per game in four of the last five, Norwich have not scored in any of their last six away matches. Playing away to Everton will not be so appealing for Norwich at his point in time. Here we will go for a 2-0 win for Everton.
His early shot was saved by Krul in an open start to the game, while his second-half cross almost led to an own goal by Grant Hanley, who was thankful to Krul's low stop. But the hosts struggled to match the kind of intricate play which has become Norwich's trademark. Instead they relied on power at both ends of the pitch, with their defence holding firm and Joelinton providing some aerial threat, shown when his header was stopped by Krul with Almiron somehow heading wide from the rebound.
I was not. Maybe you can, but I wasn't and so it hit me full, in my face, and when I've had similar situations you know that it's nice but it's intense as well. I don't feel the pressure too much before it happens - but when it happens the amount of relief shows how big the pressure was before. I was just not able to speak. Usually it's a good moment to have a speech to the players but I was just not able to do it - I was completely overwhelmed, I was crying too much last night.
Fulham should prey on QPR's problems, as the hosts have scored 1.8 goals per home game this term. The Cottagers are coming off an impressive win at Birmingham and we expect them to improve their great record at home to the Rs. We’re backing a Fulham victory as our main tip here.
The dilemma: Does a quiet season mean it’s time to move on? In the summer of 2018, Zaha put pen-to-paper on a new five-year deal – committing him to Crystal Palace who would have been relieved to secure the signature of their talisman. Despite the obvious talents he possesses, a glance at the statistics will tell you that Zaha has endured a relatively quiet 2019/20 campaign to date.

Just when it seemed Hibs may finally crack, a rare counter attack struck gold for the second time. Boyle galloped into the opposing box and beyond MacKenzie, who brought him down. Mallan stepped up to the penalty spot and fired the ball into the back of the net. Morias would pull one back moments before the final whistle. A consolation, if only to prove that the hosts could in fact score despite an evening of unfortunate events suggesting otherwise.
