The FA want to reduce the maximum number of non-homegrown players permitted in 25-man squads from 17 to 13.

Home team FC Koln ended their 3-match winning streak with Borussia Moenchengladbach's 1-2 defeat at the end of the match before taking a break. Over 25 rounds, coach Markus Gisdol has won 10 victories, 2 draws and lost 13 matches, bringing 32 points to the 10th position in the rankings. The goal of the rest of FC Koln is not too much when they are standing in the middle of the standings and 10 points from the group holding the red light. If winning Mainz 05, the possibility of falling to the bottom of their table is very low, but it has been 3 years since the last time that FC Koln could defeat Mainz 05. Not very good with standing closest to the red light group. After 25 rounds, the army of coach Achim Beierlorzer only got 26 points with 8 victories, 2 draws and lost 15 matches. The result puts the visitors in 16th place on the table and only 4 points behind the team behind Fortuna Duesseldorf.

That stopped the Eagles' slide towards the relegation battle, and now Brighton badly need the same to give themselves a bit of breathing space at the bottom. I think the Seagulls will do it too - as a derby game, this one is always lively but they have a good record against Palace in the top flight and I have a feeling that will continue. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Sam's prediction: These teams are in a similar category - not quite in the relegation zone, but not far above it.
Jonny Evans celebrates his goal against Aston Villa - it was the 32-year-old's first of the season, and the second time he has found the net for Leicester since his £3. West Brom in the summer of 2018You don't see anything flash from Jonny, because he will sense any danger before it happens and find a solution long before a last-ditch tackle is needed. As I pointed out on MOTD2, he often does things that do not count towards his defensive statistics as a tackle or block, but still solve the problem.
It is not that the hosts are a strong team as in fact this is their first season in this ISL league in India and they are just 1-2-2 at home, but lost two good teams in league leaders from Goa and NorthEast United and drew with top teams like Bengaluru and ATK at home while scoring in both those draws and they did win their only game at home 2-1 against Kerala Blasters at home.

Angers usually aren't scoring for fun but they have been particularly poor up front recently with just three goals scored in their last eight Ligue 1 matches. They will also need to be careful as they travel to Rennes as their away form has been pretty torrid this season. Les Scoïstes have won just one of their eight away games in all competitions this campaign with 18 goals leaked in this time, although it should be noted that six of these came in the first game of the season.

Footballers, like the rest of us, are fallible: they peak and they trough, they have good days and bad days and, also like the rest of us, could do with a little cajoling or scolding now and again. It has become fashionable to condescend the concept of passion, or 'pashun', but commitment to a team, its aim and its ambition represent one of those intangibles that can provide marginal advantages at the elite level.
The documents allege the interest-free and unsecured payment was made from a Fifa account on 13 April 2010. It adds the payment was subsequently waived.

Even so, Roma pulled one back four minutes later with a Jordan Veretout penalty after Jeremie Boga naively handled a cross. However, the French-born Ivorian forward immediately made amends by breaking clear to curl in Sassuolo's fourth goal one minute later.

Musa Barrow missed a first-half penalty for Atalanta, awarded following a handball by Sami Khedira, and Juventus keeper Wojciech Szczesny was forced into a good save by Mario Pasalic as the hosts threatened to take a surprise lead. Gosens eventually did just that, heading Atalanta ahead from Barrow's cross after 56 minutes - but Higuain's deflected goal sparked Juventus into life. The Argentine made no mistake when picked out by Juan Cuadrado eight minutes from time, and Higuain turned provider as his compatriot Dybala weaved through the hosts' defence for his side's third.
No-one impressed more in the opening half-hour than the goalscorer Ogkmpoe, who had already caused Jullien and Kristoffer Ajer significant problems and forced Fraser Forster into a good save before finding the net. Scott McMann skinned Forrest down the left to win a corner, which Blair Alston flighted in, and Ogkmpoe beat Jullien to it to head past Forster at the near post.

The Premier League is also coming under pressure to help support financiallystricken EFL clubs.
Two young rivals are playing in the quarter finals of the youth league playoffs, and there should not be usually high scoring on this one.

But I didn't know I was going to end up playing for England as much as I have. Life goals?"I want to have a family. I say to the girls at Lyon every day, I want a baby. I've turned 28 but it's going to have to wait a bit longer. That's a goal in life. I was brought up in a great family and it's something I cherished more than anything growing up. When have you been star struck?"[Meeting] Lionel Messi at the awards ceremonies, David Beckham too.
While neither side is at the very top of their game, both are in form enough to think that they have a realistic chance of getting a vital win. The hosts have been much improved in front of goal but are not quite as solid at the back as they once was and the visitors have not exactly been immune to seeing goals go in at both ends of the pitch. It seems pretty likely that each team will adopt an attacking approach to this game, so backing them both to find the back of the net looks to be the way to go in this fixture.
They are only four points behind leaders Leipzig but a form guide for the past five league games has them only a point behind Leipzig.

BBC Sport has crunched the numbers to work out when and where Liverpool could become champions again.
Much of their success on home soil has come courtesy of their ability to keep the opposition at bay as they have conceded just eight times and with just one side managing to escape with the points so far, they have every reason to be satisfied with the arrangement. That’s not to say they are running away with things, however, as all but one of their wins have come courtesy of a single goal lead.

However, having done the maths, Tebas is conscious that even if games are played with supporters in stadiums, a scenario he does not feel is likely in the short term, the losses will be extreme. He said: "If we are looking at the economic impact, including the money we would get from European competitions, the revenue Spanish clubs would miss out on if we don't get back playing again is 1bn euros. If we do get playing but without spectators, it would be 300m.

That’s just rude. The Warm-Up toyed with the idea of blaming the goalkeeper here. There’s no gap until he takes his step, after all. But then of course he takes the step, because nobody’s going to shoot from there. Shooting from there would be stupid. Shooting from there would be … … would be very Dimitri Payet.

Could be just a one goal win for the guests here like last season when they won the game with 2-1 but unlike last season Chateauroux is much weaker at this moment sitting inside the relegation zone with really few points won by them even from home games, for example a few days ago they played in the cup against out of form Niort team and needed extra-time the game and they still lost it in the end and Lorient is much stronger than Niort so I really see few problems for the guests to be getting the win here in this one.

tonight will be playing match between teams Liverpool and napoli. My prediction for this match is draw result. Odd is dropping and that is one of the reasons why I chose to play this tip. Liverpool is favorite due odds and they will have home ground advantage but I think that napoli is so underated here. napoli won in first match against Liverpool 2:0 at home so I think they can make surprise again and to take at least 1 point from this match which will be enough for both teams to qualify to next round . good luck.
Given the need to rediscover the necessary grit and determination on the pitch and produce an immediate turnaround, the owners and management decided that a change of coach was the best option," it added. Montella, previously in charge for three seasons between 2012 and 2015, returned in April but his team lost five of their first six games under his leadership and only escaped relegation with a 0-0 draw at home to Genoa in their final match of last season.

West Brom are closing in on a return to the Premier League. They lost in the play-off semi-finals last season but look on their way to winning automatic promotion this term. They have returned to form with three straight wins and have the best away record in the Championship. Blackburn still have a faint chance of making the play-offs but this won't be at all easy for them. Go for an away win.
