You can also join us on Saturday from 12:00 BST to tell us how you'd go about concluding the season, while sharing some of your favourite final-day memories. How have we done it? Professor James Reade and his team in Reading have employed the same methods they use to forecast things like inflation or gross domestic product (GDP) to predict the results of the 108 games left in the Championship. We look at all the scorelines in the history of football essentially, and that gives us a sense of how likely a team is to score zero, one, two, three, four goals and so on," Professor Reade tells BBC Sport.
We're not really going to see more accurate forecasting about when we can get on the pitch until the end of April" he said. In Germany, if you look at discussions about coming back in May, that's probably a direct result of some very clear thinking from their government because they're doing 50,000 tests a day. In this country we're doing 10,000 per day, although the government are targeting 100,000 each day by the end of the month.
Every player in the Premier League is a millionaire. They can afford to live a month having lost the £60,000 or £100,000 that they earn a week. The average annual salary of a Premier League player was more than £3m in 2019, according to the latest Global Sports Salaries Survey. The 47 League One and League Two clubs told the EFL on Tuesday that they face an estimated combined loss of £50m if the campaign cannot restart before the summer and they have asked what assistance they may receive.
For the remainder of the first half, City were not at their best, but came out after the interval with added impetus, taking the lead in 51st minute through Gabriel Jesus - the Brazilian's sixth goal in five matches against Everton. That soon became seven in five as Jesus drilled home Riyad Mahrez's pass seven minutes later to make it two, only for stand-in City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo to gift Everton a way back into the match as Richarlison scored with 19 minutes left.
This is known as being ‘on furlough’. Video - Tottenham’s decision to cut staff pay ‘completely unacceptable’02:09 THAT SOUNDS GOOD! It is good, because it means that a lot of people won’t lose their jobs during this crisis; of course, more can be done but that is a discussion for another day. HOW DOES IT THIS RELATE TO FOOTBALL THEN? Well, as we mentioned earlier, three Premier League clubs have told their non-playing staff to apply for the scheme.
The A23 Derby. Yup. It is on tonight. The Greatest League in the World, pal. Also, in the mix is the last-16 draw of the Champions League draw. Otherwise now known as the Top Five Leagues Cup. Nick Miller, whose commitment to passion has never seen him wear a jacket ala Big Dunc, will bring you all the fallout from the A23 Derby.

Maidenhead United will host Stockport County for this fixture of the league. I think, this will be a tense match. Both teams have the motivation to make a positive result. I think, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory. Of course, this will not be an easy task. In any case, Stockport are more ambitious team in this season. They have a chance to reach for one of the top seven places in the table. On the other hand the hosts also want all three points. However, Maidenhead is more vulnerable team. They have four consecutive losses. My pick - Stockport County to win.

Neither of these sides are in the best of form but at least Wolfsburg have reached the last 32. St Etienne are already out but have had their chances and led in three of their five matches in this group. A bet on over 2.5 goals looks the one to go for in this game.
With his stock on the rise, Rodgers was inevitably asked about the vacant Arsenal job after Leicester's last-gasp 2-1 victory over Everton -- a result that put his side three points clear of champions City and eight behind Liverpool. While Rodgers insisted he was "excited" to be at Leicester, he did not exactly shut down talk of a move to Arsenal, who sacked Unai Emery on Friday, admitting there was a "release clause" in his contract if one of the big boys came knocking.
But his side put in one of their best performances of the past couple of months, with Antonio and Haller lively up front. The London side started on the front foot, with Declan Rice having a header from Robert Snodgrass' free-kick rightly disallowed for offside in the opening two minutes. West Ham then had a penalty appeal - in fact two penalty appeals in one - turned down.
The hosts were able to see off Barnsley last time out, while they are aiming for more in this meeting with Wigan. The Latics have already been beaten by Stoke once this season, with the Potters edging an EFL Cup tie at the DW Stadium earlier this season. However, the stakes are higher here.
If I was not absolutely convinced that this is necessary for the future sustainability of our business, I would not be asking our employees to face these cuts. The Tynecastle club, who have one of the league's biggest budgets outside the Old Firm, are currently four points adrift at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership with eight games to play. Budge previously said the club would consider legal advice should they be relegated without the season being completed.
Dennis blow for Club Bruges Dennis has scored nine goals for Club Bruges this seasonUnited have been handed a huge boost by the news that their opponents will be without Emmanuel Dennis for the game. The striker put in a man-of-the-match performance in the first leg, scoring Bruges' goal with a clever chip. However, Dennis was injured in Sunday's win over Charleroi, along with captain Ruud Vormer, and both players will miss Thursday's game.
He will join both Lukaku and Sanchez in swapping Manchester for Milan in the last 12 months, with both forwards making acrimonious exits from Old Trafford having failed to live up to the hype generated by high transfer fees. Inter are currently top of Serie A on goal difference from Juve having lost only once in the league this season.

I was prepared just to start off putting my head down in training and doing what I could. I've only had about five days training with Chelsea, but all the sessions have been quality and they've managed me really well. Emma Hayes is a great coach, but all the girls have shown me the quality of training is amazing.
If this verdict sticks, it will undermine all the good work they have done. They will have been seen to have cheated their way to trophies and in the process damaged the reputation of owner Sheikh Mansour and chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak. If that proves to be the case, the consequences will be fascinating. What have they done?In effect, concealed a number of payments. These were either made to individuals or to inflate sponsorship deals, which allowed the club to meet financial fair play regulations.
Nuremberg was lucky that their main rival in the struggle for survival in the Second Bundesliga “Veen” was defeated in the match of the 27th round. Wards Jens Keller risk being in the zone of butt matches, if they do not score points in the 28th round. To do this in their next match will not be so simple, because “Nuremberg” will have to play away from “Jan Regensburg”, which closes the top ten teams of the country's second most important championship. Both teams are very unclear play at the finish of the championship and a draw is likely. Good luck.
Vitkovice and Zizkov will face each other in the upcoming match in the Division 2 in Czech Republic. Vitkovice this season have the following results: 2W, 4D and 11L. Meanwhile Zizkov have 9W, 2D and 6L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
This game looking at it in a very good way the home team Smolevichy have being doing so well in the past game as looking at the last 5 past games they have lost on 2 games won 2 and lost one and so this numbers makes us to be very sure with this prediction as the away team BATE have not being doing so that well in the past games especially in a at games and so this being one of the away games we can be very sure that the trend will continue in this game today and so good luck
It’s wonderful. Haaland replied. There are so many young talents, or, there’s young talents, but we can’t forget that we’re good football players as well – we should be allowed to say that now. Sander Berge is playing in Premier League, [Kristoffer] Ajer has been playing in Scotland for some years now, so we’ve got good talent but we’ve also got good football players, we can’t forget that.
Torino have 11 losses in their last 17 league matches. Roma have five wins in the last six matches. Torino have conceded 64 goals in 36 league matches. Roma have kept one clean sheet in their last nine away matches. Roma have scored two or more in their last six matches. Torino have managed to escape relegation after a tough season in the Italian Serie A and will be hoping for a strong showing at home when they face AS Roma on Wednesday.
Last time out Plymouth strolled to a 3-0 away win against struggling Carlilse while Mansfield lost a 7-goal thriller at home to Forest Green 4-3, leaving 17pts separating the two clubs heading into Saturday’s clash. The hosts have a great record against the visitors, winning 14 of the pairs’ last 22 encounters in all competitions, and have been victorious in each of the duos’ last five encounters.
Spanish Primera. Team FC Villareal will host team Sevilla at home field. Hosts did 3 wins at the last 3 games played. There were victories with difference only one goal. Team Sevilla are coming after 2 draws in the last 2 matches. My bet on guests here. They are more higher in the table. Also they lost last their 2 h2h games. Their motivation is so high to win here ! Sevilla are near Champions League zone . So, they will play very good for 3 points in this game. I recommend to try this bet with me for a good odds !
COURTOIS DENIES WILLIAMS! That's better from the Athletic Club forward who makes the run in behind before getting the low shot away, but the Real Madrid goalkeeper makes the diving save down to his left. OFF THE LINE! Benzema pounced on a mistake by Martinez, rounded Simon and then squeezed a low shot on target from a narrow angle, but Nunez got back to clear off his own line with a backheel! 44’ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Among the players who have played more than 10 Premier League games this season, Jesus leads the way in shots on target per 90 minutes, ahead of Aguero. He is young, we cannot forget, but the way he defends and fights is incredible,” City manager Pep Guardiola said. Of course he has to improve, he knows it.
And Mourinho was quick to empathise with the former Spurs boss. I haven’t spoke to him. I’ve been there and I know what he’s going through," said Mourinho. I spoke to his son, in our academy, and I will call him. I told the players here to tell him he’s free to come here whenever, to have a meal with the players, if he wants me here or not that’s fine.
We don't expect Wolfsburg's fortunes to turn around this weekend versus Monchengladbach. The impressive league leaders have won nine of their last 11 Bundesliga games. They will be aiming for all three points this weekend.
With Bury expelled from League One because of financial problems last summer, Bolton narrowly avoiding liquidation at the same time and a number of clubs failing to pay wages on time or facing winding-up petitions in the High Court during the season, economic issues in the lower leagues have only been magnified by the coronavirus outbreak. While we can't control what we are living though it has absolutely shone the light on the fragility of football's finances," Wilson said.

Gurtner pulled off a string of fine saves to keep his side in the game but the Amiens defence was breached immediately after the break as Mauro Icardi forced the ball in towards Neymar who rattled it home. Mbappe's second came from another perfect pass, this time from Angel Di Maria, and he fired a superb first-time shot to make it 3-0 to the home side in the 65th minute.
The only people apart from Saints fans cheering this result were Villa and Watford players. Did you know? Ramsdale made six saves in Bournemouth's 2-0 loss to Southampton, with four of those coming from shots inside the box. Defenders - Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), David Luiz (Arsenal), Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa), Serge Aurier (Tottenham) Alexander-Arnold: It's been a long time since I've seen a footballer strike a ball as sweetly as Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Unbeaten Aston Villa are six points clear at the top of the Women's Championship and look on course to secure promotion. Could a similar deadline be set for the men's game?Friday's conference call was exclusively designed to discuss the future of the WSL and Women's Championship, with any decisions taken having no bearing on the men's game. Like the top two tiers of women's football, all Premier League and English Football League games have been suspended until at least 30 April.
He was always pushing for the lads and had the best interests of the club at heart. People were working hard every day and they went up to three months without getting any money. He wanted the best for everyone. Within a week of Wilder's outburst a deal was done and Northampton proceeded to dominate the division, losing just one of their last 26 league games. The celebrations had barely died down when an offer arrived from his boyhood club Sheffield United, which he simply couldn't refuse.
Cambuur is in first place with 42 points, the same points with Jong Ajax that I remember it can't be promoted to Eredivisie. Excelsior is in 5th place with 34 points, 8 points less than second place Jong Ajax and also Cambuur but when you know that Jong Ajax can't be promoted the difference with 3rd place Graafschap is only 3 points. I see this match a draw. Cambuur wants to be in first place more safe but also Excelsior needs points to fight for promotion and however a draw in this match is good for both teams. I see both teams will fight for points and maybe a draw have more possibilities here.
Spurs' finishing in the first 45 minutes was clinical - forward Son seeing his shot deflect in off James after wrong-footing Kasper Schmeichel, before England captain Kane showed his class. The striker, who recently passed 200 career goals, has tormented Leicester whenever he has played against them and took his tally to 16 in 14 games against the Foxes with a cool, left-footed finish and a brilliant second which curled precisely into the far post past the reach of Schmeichel.
Slavia made a 0:0 draw in the recent round of the league, and this was second low scoring game for the team, after having minimal Cup win against BATE at Mozyr. They will head to Minsk as light favorite against Isloch, since home side is in poor run, having two previous tough losing matches.

Stay as you are. We are very, very satisfied with the way the team plays and the results," he told Flick. The 55-year-old Flick took over in November, replacing Nico Kovac, and after initial wobbles looks to have rediscovered Bayern's domestic dominance. His team will face a major challenge, however, starting against Hoffenheim on Saturday, with top scorer Lewandowski sidelined for at least four weeks with a knee injury.
