We have said it many times, VAR will not end controversy because it's a vital part of football," Valverde told a news conference ahead of Barca's La Liga match at home to Alaves on Saturday. The referee is the person who takes the decisions and VAR is there to help him and sometimes one team will complain and another time others will.
Moreover, two-thirds of the injuries that were incurred were alerted by the platform beforehand. While Zone7 provides a recommendation, ultimately it is the final decision of the club and their technical staff to act upon the data. But in 2018-19 Getafe finished bottom of the injury table in La Liga, with just eight in the entire campaign. Javi Vidal, their performance coach, said simply of the injury avoidance process: "What was previously subjective, is now objective.
Gorodjeja are yet to score a league goal this season. Belshina have only scored one league goal this season. Both of Gorodeja's league games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. The bottom two in the Belarus Premier League meet in this game. Neither have a point between them with only one goal scored with Belshina in 15th and Gorodeja propping up the table.
And so the fun begins. The top line was that all 42 clubs were being asked to vote on whether the Championship, League One and League Two seasons should be ended, with current leaders Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers promoted, and Partick Thistle and Stranraer relegated. A decision on the Premiership would be delayed, but approving the plans would allow the league to 'call' the top flight if they deemed the outstanding games could not be played.

Of course, the hosts will try to make a positive result in this match. However, I think, this will not be an easy task. I expect, the visitors to provide a strong resistance. Herediano is also ambitious team in this league. They are currently on the 3rd place with 26 points. Yeah, the visitors have a poor results in the last matches. In last game Herediano lost 0-1 against Limon. Nevertheless, they will try to pick up at least one point.

Both Al Hilal and Esperance are on fine form as they head to this game and we believe at this level, both form and individual brilliance will count. Esperance have scored two or more goals in six of their last 10 matches but have conceded in five of the last six matches. Al Hilal on the other hand, have scored two or more in 12 of the last 15 matches, but have been poor defensively. They have only four clean sheets in 15 matches. In terms of personnel, Al Hilal have the better players for this stage; Brazilian Carlos Eduardo has been in great scoring form this season. They also have Frenchman Bafetimbi Gomis as well as Sebastien Giovinco and Andre Carillo. Anice Badri and Yassine Khenissi are players expected to make an impact for Esperance. While we expect that Esperance will score, based on their good scoring run and Al Hilal’s defensive frailty, we feel Al Hilal will win this one, and we will go for a 3-2 win on the correct score scale.

Difficult decisions will have to be taken" to counter the financial impact of coronavirus on English football, say the Premier League, EFL and Professional Footballers' Association. All games have been postponed until at least 30 April and will only resume "when it is safe and conditions allow". A Premier League, EFL and PFA statement said their thoughts "continue to be with everyone affected by the virus".
But more than anything, clubs, especially in the non-league, could die" When people talk about no Premier League, well what about ones who rely on football, have put their life into it? I relate to this because I started in the lower leagues and I managed in non-leagues and I feel sorry for them. It’s all well and good a lot of these Premier League clubs not getting their gate receipts, but they’re still earning off everything that goes with them as a club with their marketing tools.
I think this odds are more than excellent and of course, this will be my option for this bet - plenty of goals, or over 2,75. So, let's start from the home team and that is Granite, team who was very efficient in last period and I believe that they will continue that way and this time. 4-1, 1-2 and 2-2, they are played in last three matches, one in league, and two friendly games, and same can be said and for their rival today - Arsenal. Yes, this will be match who will be very efficient and with at least three goals.
A series of racist incidents have tainted European soccer recently too, with Inter Milan's Romelu Lukaku and Brescia's Mario Balotelli subjected to racist insults from rival fans during Serie A matches in Italy this season.

Bevan says that, outside of the Premier League, there has been "a lack of centralised thinking and a lack of respecting how you should lead in the modern world" in English football during the crisis. We're going to have some very difficult times and we've got to make sure we've got good leaders and clarity of thinking. When asked what he thought of the controversy surrounding Premier League clubs furloughing non-playing members of staff, Bevan said: "Maybe the learning for the government is that when the furlough period comes to an end and they need to reset it for June, I would welcome them saying furloughing is only really focused on the people that really need it.
Tottenham will be at home against Olympiakos Piraeus in Group Stage of European Champions League. Mourinho boys have another test that they have to pass with all means, after beating West Ham United away 3-2, goals from Son Heung-Min 36 Minutes, Lucas 43 Minutes and Kane 49 Minutes. They are in 2nd position in Group B with 7 points from 4 matches, scoring 13 goals against 9, winning after 4 games 2 matches, 1 draw and 1 game lost, while Olympiakos Piraeus are last in the group with 1 point from 4 matches, scoring 5 goals against 10, winning in all 0 matches, 1 draw and 3 lost game, I believe that the host will give out everything again to win here.

We just want him to continue enjoying his football here. We will get games like that this season where we don't look our best.

But Guardiola and his City side now find themselves in unfamiliar territory:No side has ever gone on to win the title after being as many as 14 points behind the top side at the end of a match day. This season represents Guardiola's worst points return after the first 16 matches of a top-flight season in his managerial career (32 pts). The Spaniard has also lost two home league games in a single season for only the third time in his managerial career (also 2014-15 with Bayern Munich and 2008-09 with Barcelona).
THURSDAY’S BIG STORIES #PlayersTogether Everybody’s coping with their enforced home time in different ways. Some have been baking bread. Others have been spending time with the Duolingo owl.

In the end, this match echoed the last time these teams met, Arsenal letting a two-goal cushion slip as Palace fought back to draw 2-2 in October. Arsenal have now failed to win five league matches this season after leading at half-time. Aubameyang is the third Arsenal player to score and be sent off in the same Premier League match - and the first since Mikel Arteta against Palace in 2013Palace fight backInjury-hit Palace came into this match above Arsenal in the Premier League table, having lost only one of their previous eight league matches, but looked far from settled as they struggled to cope with their revitalised opponents in the first half.
The goal seemed to give Arsenal an injection of confidence and Nketiah made it 2-0 six minutes after the break, controlling a cross at pace before bundling the ball home from close range. Pompey, roared on by their passionate fans, defended well but lacked any spark in attack as Arsenal, the FA Cup's most successful side with 13 titles, held on for a comfortable win.
Defender Matthijs De Ligt headed the third in stoppage time to add to the sense of injustice. The award of the second penalty, after Rodrigo Bentancur went down under a challenge from Federico Ceccherini, was met with angry protests by the visitors. Juventus, who bounced back from last week's 2-1 defeat by Napoli, have 54 points from 22 games, six ahead of Inter Milan who were away to Udinese later on Sunday.
Danny Ings has scored 15 Premier League goals this season. He has played once for England, in October 2015. It is not just in attack where Southgate might have some concerns about the form or fitness of his players, though. In goal, Jordan Pickford has not been great for Everton for a while now. Sheffield United's Dean Henderson has probably been England's best keeper, based on his performances in the Premier League, and Nick Pope has been decent at Burnley as well.

The Argentinean coach has revolutionised Atletico's fortunes over the past nine years. But their form has nosedived this season, culminating in an embarrassing Copa del Rey elimination at the hands of third-tier side Cultural Leonesa last week. Winless in their last four in all competitions, having drawn nine of their 21 La Liga games this season, they dropped out of the top four at the weekend.
Wolves, who finished second in Group K behind Braga, will face Spanish side Espanyol. Celtic will be cautiously optimistic about continuing their fine European run when they take on FC Copenhagen, while their Glasgow rivals Rangers will play Wolves' group-stage opponents Braga. Ajax, semi-finalists in last season’s Champions League, were drawn against Getafe, and fellow Champions League dropouts Inter Milan were handed a favourable fixture against Ludogorets.
I am a big, big fan of the Blues right now, and their manager Frank Lampard. Chelsea are a young team so they are going to have some weeks where things do not go so well for them, but it is exciting to see a lot of young English players get their chance. Liverpool v Wolves (16:30)The number of chances Liverpool have created in the first five minutes of their past two league games is just frightening.

Kevin Maguire: In New Zealand you couldn't play with out a referee and couldn't challenge for the ball from behind or the side of the player in possession. Ed Waddington: Indeed, that is still a rule. I've come to like it though, as it removes the usual brawls associated with five-a-side. Steve Doig: I manage a Wednesday night eight-a-side team. I have always loved soccer but since I turned 41 I love it more, playing with mates under the lights is what it's all about.
Scotland, who are due to face Israel in a one-off Euro 2020 play-off semi-final at Hampden later this month, also face the Israelis in the Nations League once again.

Everything that could have gone right for the Magpies did in that game and it looked like that form was going to continue on Wednesday, as misfortune in the shape of Ritchie's injury immediately turned into a positive courtesy of Gayle's tidy finish - his first Premier League goal in 773 days. The assist for that goal also came from a man making a quick impact, with Andy Carroll's pass coming just four minutes and 51 seconds after he had been sent on by Steve Bruce.
