Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe became the first Premier League boss to take a voluntary pay cut during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic on Wednesday. Brighton chief executive Paul Barber said: "It is entirely appropriate that we play a very small part in reducing the financial burden. Barber, technical director Dan Ashworth and head coach Graham Potter have each taken a "significant" voluntary pay cut but no decision has been taken on whether to furlough any of the club's staff.
But there was late drama when former Chelsea striker Loic Remy pulled one back with 12 minutes of normal time remaining. Chelsea were a goal from potentially going out. That shock reinvigorated a nervy Chelsea team who were able to hold on through five minutes of added time as Frank Lampard looked on with concern, though not before Remy wasted a late chance of an equaliser.

Red Star coach Vladan Milojevic, who oversaw last season's 2-0 group stage home win over eventual winners Liverpool, played down hopes of another upset. This is not a theatre where you’re unopposed on the big stage," he said. We’re up against a European giant here but we’ll do everything we can to give them a good game of football.
Whilst there are still 22 rounds of the season to go, it's highly unlikely that Diego Simeone's men will be able to bridge such a significant gap and a top four berth may now be the best that Los Rojiblancos can hope for.
Derby are struggling with no win in the last 7 games and have dropped to the 20th place in the league. But at home they have not been so bad with 20 of the 27 points collected at home. With 9 goals conceded at home, they also have the 4th best defense in the league.
With Ollie the situation is, if it's right for everybody, and first and foremost that's us as the club, then we'll look at whether he can leave. Abramovich pays £247m into Chelsea during 2018-19No evidence of racism towards RudigerGiroud joined the Blues from Arsenal on an 18-month deal in January 2018 but has seen his opportunities limited this season, with Lampard favouring 22-year-old Tammy Abraham in attack.
Video - 'Not yet!' - Ronaldo jokes about Messi dinner01:49 And though Ronaldo swapped Real for Juventus two years ago, Messi believes the longevity of their battle in Spain made their meetings extra special. It was a special duel and it will remain [in people's minds] forever, because it lasted for many years and it is not easy to maintain such levels for a long time.
Challenge tomorrow in Serie A between Bologna and Parma. The hosts have lost all their last three games, the most interesting thing though: more than 2.5 goals have been scored in 10 of their last 11 home games. Especially due to the weak defense: in fact, Bologna has always suffered at least one goal in all its last 7 games. In the last 3 games the goals conceded were always at least 2. Parma failed to win in 13 of their last 14 away games. Even though in the last 3 Parma matches less than 2.5 goals have been scored my prediction for this match is over 2.5 goals.
It was suggested that it was the players who got him sacked. In fact, Messi and goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen - another key player - actually backed Valverde, even though everybody realised that at some point a change was necessary because the dynamic was not positive and the club was looking for a replacement. Messi responded very quickly to Abidal's interview because he felt the finger of blame was being pointed at him.
Real have a tremendous record against Los Palanganas at the Bernabeu, winning the last 12 meetings between the teams, and it's hard to back against them this weekend despite the absence of key players once again.
Hvidovre is, in my opinion, the favorite in this game. They are almost forced to win here in the fight against relegation. They have to win against a direct competitor at home. We will see that it will be a draw and with 1-1 and both have only one win in the last 5 matches.
Pardubice are the best team in the league this season and have a 15-2-3 record so far. At home they have won 9 of the 10 league games scoring a total of 24 goals while conceding only 4 goals. Pardubice restarted the league with 3 wins in a row.
Without winning at every turn, Fleetwood continue to go quietly about their business in League 1. Joey Barton's men have lost none of their last five matches and are now outside of the play-off places by just goal difference.
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.

In fact, Since their Championship play-off final victory against Derby in May 2014, Queens Park Rangers have won just one of their last eight games against the Rams (W1D2 L5). That long-running record isn’t likely to change, judging by the results between the pair.

Everton are continuing to weigh up their options as they seek a successor to Marco Silva - with former manager David Moyes still figuring heavily in discussions. Shanghai SIPG coach Vitor Pereira withdrew his interest on Tuesday in favour of staying in China. The Portuguese was under consideration but Everton had made no firm decision on whether to appoint him. Owner Farhad Moshiri must now look at other options - including Moyes.
The goal was checked by VAR as Calvert Lewin appeared to impede de Gea but the officials saw nothing wrong. Everton deserve their lead. GOAL! Manchester United 1-1 Everton (Greenwood): This is a lovely strike by Greenwood the substitute. It's a left footed shot from the edge of the penalty area that sneaks past Pickford.
Even if his contract at Barcelona does not expire until 2023, he seems certain to be set for a departure. WHO IS INTERESTED? The world champion should still command respect across the continent, even if his fitness struggles will be a concern for a potential buyer. Both Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly very keen to sign him in the summer if a reasonable price can be agreed with Barcelona.
Also a good match for this or play the pick at the mach and we look a great soccer match from boat teams in this match and a best play from home team where we look see a great match with more goals in full total time this match now.

Happy and Joy!
Yes. That’s probably it. A light ball. HAT TIP "The comparison between the two line-ups is not made in order to show that the FA Cup is less compelling that it once was, nor is it meant to be a criticism of Liverpool. Their starting line-up was only sensible given the demands made of Klopp’s squad over Christmas.

In fact, I think he's going to be top class. Mason Mount's performance against Spurs was the most mature game I have seen from the Chelsea youngster in a blue shirt. Quite apart from the fact that Mount has excellent technical ability he's also not afraid to stick his foot in and battle when required. The latter feature that was very evident during the game against Tottenham. Frank Lampard has assembled an impressive young side who believe in him.
First, Harry Wilson's pinpoint freekick gave Bournemouth a surprise lifeline and when the Welsh international scored again in stoppage time there were some jitters on the home bench. A second successive league victory for the first time this season lifted Tottenham into fifth spot with 20 points from 14 games, six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
Gifting Vastine's outfit to the boxer's fatherLaporte received press coverage recently for a kind gesture he made to the family of French Olympic boxer Alexis Vastine, who died in a helicopter crash in 2015. In an attempt to support health workers battling the coronavirus outbreak in France, Vastine’s father had donated his son’s Olympic outfit to a charity organised by handball player Cyril Dumoulin.
Jamie Vardy scored twice as Leicester City thrashed Aston Villa to make it eight Premier League wins in a row and keep alive their hopes of catching leaders Liverpool. Brendan Rodgers' side reduced the deficit on top spot to eight points once more with a clinical display at Villa Park, in which former England striker Vardy netted for the eighth successive match. Vardy linked up with Kelechi Iheanacho to open the scoring after 20 minutes, skipping round Villa keeper Tom Heaton and finishing at the second attempt.
Inter have already shown they can handle the weight of a big occasion in their last Champions League home game, securing a very important 2-0 win over Dortmund. The side are looking very powerful at the San Siro in general and have lost just once their all season, winning 6 times in the process, so confidence can be high coming into Tuesday's game.
Wright: "He did not do anything near enough to be sent off. The most that should have happened was that the referee should have warned Beckham. For the public to react as they did was ridiculous and so bad. Rooney's red and Ronaldo's wink2006 World Cup in GermanyMuch was expected of England's golden generation when they travelled to Germany. However, expectation turned into a familiar tale of woe when Beckham went off injured and Wayne Rooney was sent off for a foul on Ricardo Carvalho.
Aston Villa manager Dean Smith has signed a new four-year contract until 2023. The 48-year-old joined Villa in October 2018, succeeding Steve Bruce who was sacked after one win in nine league games. Smith led the club to promotion from the Championship with a 2-1 victory against Derby in the play-off final in May. Villa are 15th in the Premier League, four points above the relegation zone. Smith told the official website: "I'm really happy to have committed my long-term future to the club.
In England, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace are expected to face each other in a Premier League match which will be held at Vitality stadium, Bournemouth city. In the table, Palace takes position 11 with 39 points after playing 29 matches while Bournemouth takes position 18 with 27 points after playing 29 matches.
As has been the case ever since Brighton were promoted, their form at the Amex Stadium is proving crucial to their success. They lost last time out to Leicester, but that was just their second home defeat in the league this season. That being said, they have only won three times at the Amex Stadium and two of those came against teams currently in the relegation zone (Everton and Norwich).
We have gone in three months from being closer to the relegation zone, which was never really a problem, to be being one point behind the top four. An amazing effort from everyone. We have earned the right to fight for it. Some say it's impossible but we are ready to fight. Despite Chelsea's slump in form, Mourinho said Frank Lampard's team are favourites to finish fourth, and that his return to Stamford Bridge, where he delivered three Premier League titles in two stints as manager, is nothing special.
