Norwich had defended resolutely and twice came close to taking the lead, but Liverpool's relentless romp towards a first English title for 30 years continued. Victory was their 34th in their last 35 league games and their 17th in succession. Norwich, for whom Alexander Tettey struck the woodwork in the second half, remain seven points adrift of 17th-placed Aston Villa who host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Brest travel to the south coast winless in three and with an away record seeing them win just one of their last six games on the road. Les Ty'Zefs haven't enjoyed the rub of the green in recent weeks as they have slumped down to 13th in the table. Quite the fall from grace when you realise they sat 6th at the end of October. However, stats show that this drop in form had probably been coming.
Maran, who had been in charge for a little more than a season and a half, was sacked two days after a 4-3 home defeat against AS Roma and only four days after a glowing tribute to his work from club president Tommaso Giulini. The Sardinian club said on its website that it had "revoked Maran's responsibility" for coaching the team.
The difference between the previous two managers and Nigel. Nigel is a manager and takes complete control - timings, logistics, everything. Off the field, things started to creep in - sloppy things - and it gets worse and worse. It's like a bacteria. The current manager has pulled everybody together. He makes an example of you if you do something wrong, so everybody thinks: 'I'm not going to be that guy next time.
Continue their collaboration: Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and head coach Hansi FlickGetty Images Club president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has praised the 55-year-old's character traits in addition to the "very good development" the team have undergone from a sporting perspective. He said: "I also like the way he leads the team, his human qualities are convincing and his empathy speaks for him.
Burnley in trouble if season not finished This is a worrying statement from Burnley who have said that they will be in big trouble if the season isn't finished. Guess you can see why the latest Premier League statement has reiterated the desire to finish the league season. UEFA lifts 15:00 blackout Interestingly UEFA has decided to lift the 15:00 blackout on Saturdays that has long prevented live football being shown at that time in England and Scotland.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says his dream is to have a team "full of Scousers" - with all first-team players graduating from the club's academy. Midfielder Curtis Jones - born in Liverpool and a product of the club's youth system - signed a five-year contract on Saturday. Jones, 19, then scored his first Premier League goal on Sunday as the new champions beat Aston Villa 2-0. The dream is to have all the boys [from the academy]," Klopp said.
They've also been Mexican champions on four occasions. They played free-flowing, attacking football and looked threatening going forward, albeit against a shaky Al-Sadd defence. The twin-brother of ex-Everton defender Ramiro Funes Mori, Rogelio, looked a good player and took his goal well and may cause Liverpool problems. Defensively, they were much weaker and Al-Sadd, in addition to scoring twice, cut them open and were guilty of missing some gilt-edged chances - the sort you'd expect Mohamed Salah, Saido Mane and Roberto Firmino to take.
We have had a few up and down years but I feel like Arteta is starting to turn the corner. He is an excellent coach and there seems to be a bit more belief in him, right through the club. I just hope the board back him, so he can build on this start. WEDNESDAY Man City v Newcastle (18:00 BST)Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus is good, but he's not as good as Sergio Aguero. Of the two, Jesus is probably better player outside the box but the Argentina striker might have made the difference for City in Sunday's defeat by Southampton because he is so deadly in front of goal.
We were in a bit of a tricky situation form-wise," says Joel Byrom, a midfielder who spend two years with Northampton from 2014. I think we dropped quite low in the league and a lot of people were calling for his head. Then all of a sudden he signed a couple of players in January who turned out to be really important for us over the next 18 months. Everyone mentions his recruitment. He knows the right people to have around the dressing room.
The proponents of the idea suggested that taking the Premier League out of the country would be a way to decrease strain on the National Health Service and free up club facilities for use by emergency services and local authorities. The idea may be up for discussion in Friday’s meeting but other clubs have already indicated they will dismiss the concept.
Where have they all gone?"So it has been a real up and down few years but they are still my team and I have got a lot of affection for our players, past and present. I guess I was the same as a kid - I grew up watching college basketball which is huge where I am from in North Carolina. I would see my favourite players go to the NBA and try to follow their career, and I do the same with Everton players now.
You do not do that by not talking to them. You do not get the end-product or working together if you just send a letter out without actually taking their advice or thoughts. Coronavirus and sport: live updatesHow Premier League players set up NHS initiativeCoronavirus impact on sport - timelineBevan said he had now asked the EFL to discuss the restarting of the season with the managers from each league.
So I think it is sensible at this stage to have the engagement, to think through it, but I've been clear in all the conversations I've had that all of this is without prejudice so let's do the work and then we will make the decision at the appropriate point - clearly, number one, in accordance with the scientific evidence. Proposed Newcastle takeoverJohn Nicolson MP asked Dowden if he would intervene in the proposed £300m takeover of Newcastle United by a Saudi-backed consortium, citing concerns about "Saudi Arabia's record" regarding human rights.
Images of players being racially abused in Italian football have been viewed and discussed all around the world this season and that shames us all," said the clubs in an open letter published on Friday. No individual should ever be subjected to racist abuse – inside or outside of football – and we can no longer stay silent on this issue or wait for it to magically disappear.
The arrival of Grealish would likely signal the end of Paul Pogba’s time at the club. Paper Round’s view: Pogba has done nothing to justify a new contract or an extended stay at Old Trafford, and if the club can recoup their initial outlay then they should take the offer from any club willing to pay up.
After throwing away a two-goal last week, we expect Koln to come roaring out of the blocks. Only 33% of the goals they have conceded at home have been in the first half. Therefore, we see them carrying a lead into the half-time break and holding Fortuna at bay to get the win. Back the home side to win both halves.

Cushing's fairytale farewell It was the end of an era at Manchester City as Nick Cushing took charge of his final match as manager – and it could not have gone any better.

It is not a scenario you want to be in. No-one signed for this so how can you talk about loyalty. It's up to Pep to try to motivate the team'City play Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League, with the first leg at the Bernabeu on 26 February and the return game at Etihad Stadium on 17 March. Real boss Zinedine Zidane expects City's motivation to be "immense" but Gullit is unsure.

However, the Norwegian Football Federation said on Friday it would not be able to host the other last-four game because quarantine rules would deny them a clutch of players and prevent the Serbs playing. The opponents of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland - Bosnia-Herzegovina and Slovakia - both requested their matches to be called off too. World Cup qualifiers in both Asia and South America have already been postponed, as have England's friendlies against Italy on 27 March and Denmark four days later.

Serie A leaders Inter Milan missed the chance to move four points clear at the summit after being held to a goalless draw by Roma at the San Siro. The build-up to the fixture had been overshadowed by Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport's 'Black Friday' headline, which was accompanied by images of Roma defender Chris Smalling and Inter striker Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku condemned the headline as "one of the dumbest" he has ever seen while Smalling said it was "wrong and insensitive".
To be calm and put the ball in the net with the inside of your foot and mix it up with power. You can see Erling is scoring goals in many ways. It is fantastic to see him when he strikes the ball from distance also, for example. He has all these attributes. He has learned after many years at home, at Jaeren, Bryne and from his father, and that has put him where he is today.
They have not won there this century - their last victory a 1-0 win on 27 September 1999, courtesy of a Kevin Campbell goal - and have only left the ground with three points on seven occasions since World War Two. It has been 19 derbies since they tasted victory at either Anfield or Goodison - when Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta secured a 2-0 Blues home win on 17 October 2010.
This is one of the matches from Ukraine Youth League, where I hope that we can see plenty of goals, what is for me very real and ok to try. So, Shakhtar is excellent team with plenty of young and super-talented players who can beat almost all rivals in this league. I just hope that they can be on good level in this match, what is pretty real to expect. In last official duel against Dnipro 1 U21, they were more than good - they are beat this rival with even 4-0. Yes, I believe in similar scenario and this time.
Da Silva Lopes, who joined from Wigan last August, claimed his first Hull goal after just six minutes. Callum Elder crossed from the left and, when Marc Guehi could only glance the ball to the far post, Da Silva Lopes' low shot flew into the net via a slight deflection off Jake Bidwell. Wayne Routledge scored the first of three Swansea equalisers at HullSwansea responded with a fine team goal only eight minutes later.
Home games in Douglas would kick off on Saturday evenings to minimise impact on the two-tier Isle of Man League, which consists of 26 clubs. FC Isle of Man chairman Gary Weightman predicted lots of interest in the new club from football fans on the island. Although there are a lot of clubs in Douglas, others on the island - such as Rushen United, Peel and Ramsey - are a big part of their communities," he said.
Odds are quite decent for the home win in this one, I know it is a friendly game but I watched the hosts a week ago also in another friendly game at home against another 2nd league club Smorgon which prior to that meeting had 3 wins in a row on the road and if memory serves me right they even defeated first league club FC Minsk on the road 1-0, this while the hosts dominated that encounter as it went 0-0 at half-time but their domination showed in the second half scoring the only goal of the game and winning the encounter.
Ancelotti represents Everton's best opportunity to achieve Moshiri's high ambitions - now the Italian will expect him to support his equally ambitious plans. Leeds United are within touching distance of ending their 16-year Premier League exile after a last-gasp victory at Swansea City. Leeds marked the passing of club legend Jack Charlton before kick-off at the Liberty Stadium, then produced a solid, organised performance which leaves them needing just four points from their three remaining fixtures to clinch automatic promotion.
Shaquille O'Neal is one of American sport's biggest-ever stars. The basketball legend has had his own video game, released albums and even had a go at being a professional wrestler. But on 18 June, he will be in the crowd for a League Two play-off game in Northampton - in cardboard form. A cut-out of the former Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat and Orlando Magic centre - complete with a Cobblers scarf draped around his neck - will be in the Northampton Town stands for the club's semi-final first leg against Cheltenham Town.
The best bet is 2 Ah0 here. York is the visitor here with a 13-8-3 record and is struggling to get into the top position, and it is clear that York has a motive to win this match. Southport do not play bad and have a record of 11-4-9 and is 7th on the table, but the last 3 games have not went well and suffered defeats in them and not in the best rhythm right now. And it is clear that today York should still be closer to winning this match, the form is on the away side, and therefore it is best to play Ah0 York city.
The guests are in 2nd place on the table and the team that wants to reach the position that leads to the first row this season while the home team is playing much weaker and that they are currently in 12th place, so for them this season, there is certainly no room at the top. The teams are Savona and Caronnese who play for the Italian league in Serie D. Savona has 23 pts in 19 games, while Caronnese has after 19 games 34 pts. I expect the guests to win this game and show on the pitch that they are a much better team.
Burnley host bottom club Norwich City while on Monday 13-time winners Arsenal are at Bournemouth. West Ham United will have to put aside their relegation fears as they host Championship leaders West Bromwich Albion while Chelsea go to Hull City. An oddity will see Birmingham City play an "away" tie at third-tier Coventry City in their own St Andrews Stadium by virtue of the fact that Coventry are tenants there.
