England's Nations League tie in Croatia took place in front of an empty stadium in October 2018 because of Uefa sanctions against their hosts after a swastika was marked on their pitch before a game in 2015, while Wolves and Manchester United were among the clubs to play behind closed doors in Europe as the coronavirus situation worsened. So what is it really like? We find out from those who have been there.
Sir Bobby Charlton says Harry Gregg was "a fantastic goalkeeper but more importantly an incredible human being". Gregg passed away on Sunday at the age of 87 and Charlton paid an emotional tribute to his former Manchester United team-mate. Charlton survived the Munich air disaster in 1958 when Gregg pulled him and other passengers from the plane's burning wreckage. I was proud to call him a team-mate," said United and England great Charlton.
Despite losing (Brazil playmaker Philippe) Coutinho (to Barcelona in 2018), the side got stronger and that says a great deal about the club and the players who play for them. Simeone will be without injured Portugal forward Joao Felix but welcomes back Diego Costa, who has not played since November because of a hernia.
Smolevichy-STI will host Energetyk-BDU for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in the last matches. Energetyk-BDU have fallen into a very poor show in recent times. They have three consecutive losses. In last game Energetik-BGU lost 3-0 against Neman. Also, we have Smolevichi who's is one of the main outsiders in this league. Smolevichi is team of the relegation zone. Hosts have low potential. I think, they have a very difficult task in this season. In my opinion, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Also, they have the motivation to break the poor series. My pick - Energetyk-BDU to win.
When I heard it I thought 'that's my thought as well'. If you ask me what's his best position, I don't know. He's not a number nine but the top scorer. He's not a number 10 but he's the top assist provider. He's not a tall guy but he scores headers - he's good at everything. We were thinking sometimes he's not shooting well with the right foot, then he scores amazing goals with the right foot. I think that he played as a keeper one time and he did well.
As I've always said, he's quite happy in Madrid," Barnett told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. It's his life that he wants to lead. Financially, he will want for nothing the rest of his life, and his children and grandchildren. He's won nearly everything in the world, except the World Cup, but unfortunately he plays for Wales so some things are beyond him. So he's won everything else, to come back and play [in the Premier League] would be unbelievable - a big thing.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hailed his leadership qualities and called him 'almost undroppable' afterwards, and I can see why. After United's win over Tottenham, Solskjaer spoke about McTominay and said "he wants to be the best player he can be. That is the kind of player I want at this club. He would have suited my squad when I played. He would have fitted right in"McTominay has been so reliable for him, in what has become a problem area in his team, and United will need his discipline and organisation in the middle if they are to keep City quiet.
'Correct Score' punters can try a 1-0 win for Steven Gerrard's men. Recent renewals of this fixture have tended to be quite tight, low-scoring affairs. Both teams have scored in just one of the last seven Old Firm games, while Rangers, who've kept a clean sheet in five of their last seven, have shut Celtic out twice in the last year.

The forward answered his manager's SOS from the bench, producing a moment a sheer class to decide a tight encounter.

For many football traditionalists, you can’t beat a good old 15:00 kick-off. But what about if it's on a weekday?When England met Slovenia at 15:00 BST on a Wednesday at the 2010 World Cup, millions of fans were pleading with their bosses to skip work to watch Jermain Defoe’s shin help the Three Lions scrape into the knockout stages. But how many supporters will be given time off to watch Millwall against Middlesbrough this summer? The Lions are hosting Boro in the Championship at 15:00 on Wednesday, 8 July, after the latest fixture-schedule changes were announced on Tuesday.
A collision course written in the starsThe 2014-15 season started ominously for McCall at Fir Park. His Motherwell team, second the previous season, were out of Europe to Icelandic minnows Stjarnan at the first hurdle. It would prove to be a turning point for both club and coach.

They have team spirit. Mikel has created. City lost their Premier League crown to Liverpool but have won the EFL Cup this season and are looking to retain the FA Cup. Although Arsenal have claimed the FA Cup a record 13 times, most recently in 2017, they have not won the league since 2003-04 under Arsene Wenger. The Frenchman left the club in May 2018 and was replaced by Unai Emery, who lasted 18 months before he was sacked and replaced by Arteta.

Lawro's prediction: 0-2Jimi's prediction: I really like Sean Dyche. He is a solid geezer by the looks of things. Arsenal v Man City (FA Cup, 19:45 BST)Arsenal's win over Liverpool on Wednesday was aided and abetted by some mistakes by the Reds but it was still a great result for them. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta made a few changes with this game in mind, but his problem is that City boss Pep Guardiola also rested several players when they beat Bournemouth on the same night.
Every time Solskjaer looks at what his midfield’s going to be – well, let's just say I’m just surprised he’s not gone bald already because it must paralyse his brain that there is no midfield at all at United. Whatever he puts out there, there’s absolutely no guarantee it’s going to work. If you’re playing up font, you know that you’re not going to get the ball.
And yet, come summer 2020, United could be letting him out on loan - again - to Sheffield United, while keeping Spain's number two, who has just signed a contract to 2023. I assume United's hierarchy thought about this scenario when they gave De Gea his new contract. I don't see any way Dean Henderson is coming back to Old Trafford as a second choice. Tom Gold: Can you explain why Manchester United gave Phil Jones a new deal? I feel bad for him but you have to question that decision.
Match stats - Hodgson joins Dowie and Warnock clubCrystal Palace are unbeaten in four Premier League games (W2 D2), after losing four out of five before that. Brighton are unbeaten in three Premier League games for the first time since January (W1 D2). Roy Hodgson oversaw his 100th game as Crystal Palace manager in all competitions (W37 D24 L39), becoming the third manager to reach the milestone for the club in the 21st century, after Iain Dowie (123 games) and Neil Warnock (146 games).
Spurs have won 14 points to Chelsea's nine in the period since then but Mourinho is unlikely to have forgotten how he was so comprehensively outsmarted that day. Lampard's decision to use a three-man central defence of Antonio Rudiger, Zouma and Fikayo Tomori caught Mourinho, who usually prepares for all eventualities, totally off guard and Chelsea eased to victory. How will the Portuguese respond on Saturday? Will the pupil Lampard have another surprise up his sleeve against the seasoned tactician?Nevin said: "Frank did him tactically in the first game.
Former Norwich City striker Iwan Roberts, 51, is already involved. I want to see whether there is anything I should be concerned about in the foreseeable future," he said. The Football Association (FA) and Professional Footballers Association (PFA) jointly funded Glasgow University's FIELD study and has set up its own taskforce into links to dementia.
I'm just so happy to see the players have the patience and the belief that they can consistently get results. We found a way with quality and determination. It's a very good win, now we have a big game again here on Wednesday. On his conversation with substitute Kelechi Iheanacho: "It was just to give him the confidence to get him to do what we wanted him to. We had a shape we wanted to go to; it was giving him the confidence and reinforcing his role.
Just when it seemed like Monaco were building up a head of steam, they went and blew it away to Bordeaux last week. Much of led Monegasque' dismay has come on the road so far, thought, with four of their last five defeat all coming away from Stade Louis II. While their defensive mishaps have followed them around like a cloud at their home stadium, their attacking play has been a joy to watch and crucial to their success. PSG have been slightly below their usual level away from home this season but they always excel against Monaco and that's exactly what we are backing here. Monaco do have 18 goals in their last seven games so we expect them to maim the champions here. Both teams have scored in each of Monaco 's last seven home games and in four of Paris' last five away games. However, we are still predicting a heavy win for PSG despite Monaco' s home form.
They usually bounce back a lot quicker than this and I have been waiting for Sean Dyche to turn things around - I am sure it will happen this week though. Lawro's prediction: 2-1Tom's prediction: Leicester love playing these lower teams. Liverpool v Man Utd (16:30 GMT)United got their tactics spot on against Liverpool last time but their issue is that, in midfield, they are just not strong enough. When I look at what they have got in that department, I am largely thinking 'that's why they have got so many problems' because the days of them having strong, competitive midfielders are gone.
We would like to and must apologise for this mistake at this point. We would like to make up for what happened and are already trying to contact the persons concerned and invite them to the next home game. Germany has reported 150 cases of the disease. Leipzig did not give further details of the incident, however the DPA news agency said a group of around 20 Japanese visitors were told to leave about 10 minutes after kickoff.
Regar Tadaz is going to face Istaravshan for the third leg of the Tajikistan league. Regar got two points after three matches and scored only two goals and conceded three. The visitors lost two matches in a row where they conceded five goals and scored only one. In the previous season, Regar was strong team and they ended in a high position. The visitors were a team from the bottom of the table and this season will not be better. Istaravshan got low-quality players and they should lose this clash. Regar needs points and they should win against Istaravshan. They beat them 5:2 in the previous meeting.
I will take the double chance on New Taipei here as odds are now worth it unlike when they first appeared a few days ago pricing the away win at just 1.50, now the away win is worth taking at 2.10, but will be careful and will not exclude the draw as New Taipei was very defensive minded with Hualien W and lost in added time that game 2-1 in the end, and also lost much bigger with Taichung Blue 3-1 last round, their only goal coming late in the game from the penalty spot while they were already 3-0 down.
Despite being known for their defensive stability, the hosts have struggled to find the back of the net on a regular basis and their last clean sheet in the league came way back at the start of October. Even if you take the season as a whole, Newport have not enjoyed themselves on the road and have just two away wins in the league all term.
Conte added that when “phase two” of the the lockdown plan begins on 4 May with the easing of restrictions, social distancing of at least one metre must be maintained and this extends to two metres when exercising.

In the UK, the government is this week planning to set up the first of a series of regular meetings involving senior medical directors of the major sports in a bid to return to action as soon as possible.
Marseille was in great form before the international break with the defeat of Lyon and Lille 2-1 respectively, they are powerful in the attacking type of football which they implement in their games that make things hard for the opponents. But they need to do more in their back four because the connected as they score. They have been ups and down on the road which makes me go for Draw No Bet on a low risk.
Huesca are unbeaten in the last 4 rounds, in which they drew 2 and lost 2. At this time on the ranking, the host is currently ranked fourth with 39 points after 23 rounds. However, their gap with the top teams is very small and they can absolutely compete for a promotion next season. Lugo is extremely difficult to get a secure position on the chart. Meanwhile, Huesca is one of the leading candidates for the ticket back to La Liga. With a huge difference in qualification, Huesca will be determined to win this match. Huesca's last 5 meetings with Lugo only lost 1 and won 3 times.
In these early, transitional days what has impressed around the club has been Arteta's calmness and clarity about what he wants to achieve, his insistence on his own style - and his understanding of Arsenal. Arsenal's motto is "Victoria Concordia Crescit" - "victory grows out of harmony" - and Arteta has been at pains to unite the club and fanbase that had been fractured at times in the latter years of Arsene Wenger's reign and then under Emery.
The Gunners started with purpose, but the hosts took the lead against the run of play on 21 minutes. Pukki ended an eight-game wait for a goal when his shot deflected off Shkodran Mustafi, who was making his first Premier League appearance of the season. Three minutes later, the Gunners were awarded a penalty when Christoph Zimmerman handled in the area.
At the other end of the table Stoke's upturn in form this month, a 5-0 defeat at Leeds aside, has made sure they remain in the Championship. The Potters only picked up two points from their first 10 matches, a run which saw Nathan Jones sacked in November and replaced by Michael O'Neill. Their terrible start means they have been in and around the relegation zone for much of the season, but three straight home victories against Barnsley, Birmingham and now Brentford proved crucial.
When Premier League club executives link up for a crucial video conference call on Friday they will do so amid unprecedented pressure, and mounting unease. The tension surrounds not only how the plan to resume the football season behind closed doors at a small number of sealed and approved venues should develop, but whether it is realistic, responsible or indeed appropriate to pursue it at all. The sense is that hopes of a return to action by early June now hang by a thread.
Premier League to pursue home and and away games if possibleNew era for academy players?Victor Orta is director of football at Leeds United, who are a point clear at the top of the Championship with nine games to play and so are yet to discover if they will be recruiting with a Championship or Premier League budget. We've been using this time to do more video analysis of players," he said. In a normal situation this happens, just not in May because we normally know where we are.
Handicapped by having no recognised strikers in the absence of injured Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, Tottenham struggled as an attacking force, although Giovani Lo Celso was impressive and almost equalised with a free kick against the post. Leipzig's intensity dropped late on and Lucas Moura headed wastefully over for Tottenham who now face a tough task to keep their Champions League hopes alive.
Posted at 57' Attempt blocked. Martin Boyle (Hibernian) right footed shot from the centre of the box is blocked. Son's 32nd-minute effort completely upstaged two goals from Harry Kane in a 5-0 rout of Burnley that drew gasps of admiration from his team mates and manager. Picking up the ball on the edge of his own area, the Asian International Player of the Year accelerated away from two opponents, slalomed through two further challenges on the halfway line and outpaced two defenders to shoot past the keeper for Tottenham's third goal.
Gorodeya are strugglng for form and goals but this is a decent chance to get some points. Neman Grodno aren't that bad a side but their away form is letting them down with just one point and one goal. That's compared to having the fourth best home record in the Belarus Premier League. With Gorodeya having onlly scored two home league goals (seven goals in total in four at home), the suggested bet here is on under 2.5 goals being scored.
It also denies that Saudi authorities had enough evidence, before the WTO panel investigated, to apply criminal sanctions to those behind beoutQ, and that it prevented beIN from taking legal action to enforce its rights in Saudi courts. The proposed £300m deal to take over Newcastle is 80% financed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, whose chairman is Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. It is currently awaiting approval through the Premier League's owners' and directors' test, which has been assessing the background of the club's prospective owners for 16 weeks.
In the next derby, Morelos got himself sent off after 31 minutes and still Rangers looked the better side for much of it. Before Forrest grabbed the winner with four minutes to go, Lennon was getting stick from his own supporters. We might forget that now, but Celtic Park was an unhappy place until Forrest did his thing. The next one was a 2-0 Rangers win at Ibrox, a template for what happened on Sunday.
