The UK government has defended its decision to allow such events to go ahead before restrictions on mass gatherings were enforced 10 days later. But Steve Rotheram told BBC Sport an independent inquiry was needed into a potential connection with a surge of cases in Liverpool since. If people have contracted coronavirus as a direct result of a sporting event that we believe shouldn't have taken place, well that is scandalous," he said.
It had the desired effect in a 2-1 victory and Lampard was at it again here at the King Power Stadium, although in less diplomatic fashion. Match-winner Ross Barkley revealed the manager had told his players their poor first-half performance was not good enough for the Chelsea badge. Lampard's half-time salvo was flagged up by the sound of his discontent echoing around the stadium and three interval changes - Barkley, Mateo Kovacic and Cesar Azpilicueta for Billy Gilmour, Reece James and Mason Mount - shifted this quarter-final in Chelsea's favour.
They are fourth in the Premier League and host Southampton who are 17th, having climbed out of the bottom three last weekend. Chelsea’s win over Tottenham has left them four points clear of fifth placed Sheffield United. They have won three of their last five games in all competitions and that stat also applies to results from their last five home league matches.

Did you know? Five of Spurs defender Vertonghen's six Premier League goals have come away from home. Fernandinho: This was a tame affair in the end - the game was over after 15 minutes because Kevin de Bruyne had deemed it so. Nevertheless Manchester City's ability to keep a clean sheet away at Arsenal must not be underestimated. Once again Fernandinho's calm and cultured style at the back was outstanding.
It’s hardly a shock that we expect goals following that fine run for both sides. Lazio have scored in 100% of their home games, while Juve have found the net in their last 11 matches. Both sides have so much attacking talent that both teams to score seems like a solid price here, having landed in four of Juve’s last five away trips in Serie A.
The last weeks have been a disaster for PSV with the team failing to win all their last four games in the national league and losing three of those. They desperately need a win in order to avoid that the gap to Ajax gets any bigger but their chances of winning the league at this point are already quite low after the poor results. Nevertheless, they should be able to bounce back here and finally get back to victories on this match at home against SC Heerenveen, which makes their -1 Asian Handicap the best line to bet on this match
Odds are quite decent in this one on taking a bet on Sydney FC who have 5 wins in a row in the league right now and they have one of the best scoring records in the league so far this season as well, very good team with a bunch of very good quality players for this Australian league level fighting for the title once more this season. They even had 5-0 lead last round at home with Brisbane Roar, won it 5-1 in the end, also a couple of decent wins on the road, 2-0 at Western United and 3-1 at Perth Glory.
Dortmund were finding it difficult to earn wins away from home at the beginning of the season. However, in recent weeks, they have rectified their poor away form. Dortmund have now won each of their last two Bundesliga away games. We feel that it is difficult to expect anything but another Dortmund win in Friday's game.
The FIFA statement went on to say that the "gift" was to be viewed as an "undue payment", citing the decision of the Swiss Federal Supreme Court. Blatter and Platini, who were banned in 2016 from the sport over the payment, could not immediately be reached by Reuters for comment. FIFA has promised that, if recovered, the funds and the interest accrued over the last eight years would be "fully channelled" into football development, where they were originally due to be invested.
Home side should be able to keep on with the good form here, and to push for another match with three points, m where they will stay in the fight for the promotion playoff. They are taking on Erzgebirge, which did lost in the previous round from Darmstadt 3:1, and will try to attack the opponent from the begin.
Crystal Palace, in 14th, are only two points behind. The margin for error will be small over the last few rounds of the season. Everton have a mixed record against Wolves since their promotion to the top flight last season, winning, drawing and losing in that three-game history. Everton claimed victory in the reverse fixture back in September when Richarlison was in hot form.
Hungerford and Braintree will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League South. Hungerford this season have the following results: 6W, 4D and 20L. Meanwhile Braintree have 9W, 5D and 17L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.

Stuttgart are the side that has won more games recently, while they are higher up the table, though since most of their good work has come at home and since they've been anything but consistent, it's easy to feel that the hosts have a much better chance of doing well than the current prices would have us believe. On this basis, a punt on 'Darmstadt +0.50 Asian Handicap', which yields a win as long as Darmstadt avoid defeat, which wouldn't be at all surprising given the away form of the visitors.

Don’t say you wouldn’t watch it. In all seriousness, UEFA should get creative. If they want to be spoil sports and restrict it to two teams per match then fine, but at least have a mini four-team tournament to decide the winners. Economic crisis looms Now some difficult news. World players’ union Fifpro have issued a stark warning about the coronavirus impact.
The simple truth of this fixture is that it represents a side who are free scoring, strong defensively and are at the peak of their powers at the moment coming up against a side who struggle on the road and concede regularly. It is hard to imagine that Colchester will not be three points better off following the conclusion of this game and as long as the U’s overcome any complacency, that is exactly what we expect from this fixture.
The virus has killed over 3,000 people globally and infected almost 91,000, prompting a number of soccer clubs in Europe to ask their players, staff and officials not to shake hands in an attempt to slow its spread. It's not important what famous people say. You have to speak about things in the right manner.
Thursday's Napoli v Inter Milan Coppa match is also off. Spadafora's announcement came as Serie A bosses were meeting to discuss the situation. Until now, they have preferred to postpone matches rather than play behind closed doors. But with an already crowded fixture list, the league is running out of dates for rescheduled matches.
The 653 players seeking help in 2019 was up from 438 in 2018 - and if the rest of 2020 follows the same pattern as the first three months of the year nearly 1,200 would end up using their services. With social distance measures in place, the PFA has been putting sessions for players on Skype and Zoom to ensure they still have access to whatever support they need. We've also put a questionnaire out to all of our members asking about their mental health and how they've been coping over the last two weeks and whether they want or need support," added Bennett, a former Charlton Athletic and Brentford winger.
Southampton beat Watford 2-1 on Saturday and are now they could climb out of the bottom three if beating Norwich City. The Saints are 18th in the table, a place and a point above their opponents. It wasn’t looking good for the Saints on Saturday when they were trailing Watford with only 12 minutes remaining.
England, who reached the last four of the World Cup in 2018, have got to the Euro semis only once in the last 50 years -- in 1996 when Southgate was playing for the country. The opportunity is for us to go further than so many teams in the past and our European Championship record has been appalling," Southgate told reporters.
This term we could see something similar, especially with the visitors conceding too many goals. The Robins let in five in their three-game losing run, while they’re without a clean sheet in six Championship matches. Conceding 33 times in 22 games isn’t a great return, which should worry the visitors as they head to the Valley.
De Bruyne: I think it only fitting that my final team selection of the 2019-20 season includes the Manchester City midfielder who is, without a doubt for me, currently the best player in the country. The game against Sheffield United was almost as controversial as the fixture against Wolves for various reasons but De Bruyne seems above all that. He is a consummate professional. However, as Liverpool's grip on the Premier League title gets tighter with each game, City must treat this footballing genius with great care.
BATE will be meeting today with the away team breast and this game we have given the home team and the away team will score an over of 2.5 total goals as the last games this two teams have played together they are very used of scoring many goals and so this game we can say that the trend will continue in this game
Words fail me, I am stunned by this news," Stade de Reims president Jean-Pierre Caillot said in a statement on the club's official website. This pandemic has shaken Stade de Reims to its core. A great character from Reims and a great sports professional has left us. The club said Gonzalez worked at Stade de Reims, who reached the first ever European Cup final in 1956, for 23 years.
Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi are set to feature for Barcelona as the La Liga leaders return to action at Mallorca. The league's coronavirus suspension has given Suarez, 33, time to recover after the Uruguayan striker underwent surgery on his right knee in January. Top scorer Messi had a thigh problem but the Argentine forward, 32, returned to training this week as Barca prepare for their first game in 97 days.
However, the Argentine fan-favourite failed to deliver any silverware despite having a squad full of internationals and that is something Mourinho is determined to change as he prepares for the trip to West Ham United on Saturday. Asked if he had to keep hold of Kane to bring success to Tottenham he told a group of reporters at the club's training ground: "When you try to buy Kane it's an impossible mission.
A calamitous display from defender David Luiz was at the heart of the loss at the Etihad and while Saturday's performance was less disastrous, it still contained costly errors - most significantly the hesitant defending that allowed Dunk to equalise. Arteta's side had gone into the Premier League's suspension, brought about by coronavirus pandemic, unbeaten in 2020 and with hopes of making a late charge for a Champions League spot, but this now looks unlikely, with eight points separating them and the top four.
Eriksen plays tomorrow. Every player we have has to be ready to help the team," Mourinho told a news conference on Monday. We are not in conditions to think about anything else than that. The 27-year-old Eriksen, out of contract in June, has suffered a dip in form this season with his future at the club unclear and was substituted during Tottenham's 1-0 defeat by Premier League leaders Liverpool on Saturday.
Gennaro Gattuso and Quique Setién took charge of their first Champions League games tonight – it is the first time in Champions League history that two managers are facing in the knockout stages in their first ever games in the competition. Dries Mertens scored his 121st goal for Napoli across all competitions, equalling Marek Hamsik as the joint-top scorer in the club’s history.
That's the atmosphere we've created, a team which has been to the final twice and has lost one and won one. Maybe the first season when we went to the final, I don't think we were really respected until maybe after the quarter-final when we went to Porto and washed them away [winning 5-0 in Portugal]. We did not get the respect we deserved. Now, we know we are respected in Europe. No-one will want us.
Umma sahal will be meeting today with the away team and this game we have given the it that this two teams will record total goals of under 3.5 total goals as looking at the games they have played together they are very used of scoring an under of 3.5

Because of the fiscal and economic austerity brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, [the government] thought it would not be recommended to right now sign the guarantees asked for by Fifa," said a CBF statement. Brazil has hosted a number of major international sporting competitions in recent years, including the men's World Cup in 2014, the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Copa America in 2019.
Champions Barcelona replaced them at the top of the table on 55 after hammering Eibar 5-0 earlier on. Real's best chance fell to Hazard, who failed to properly connect with the ball, and a few minutes later he left the pitch looking in pain, in only his second game back from an ankle injury that ruled out him of action for almost three months.
In this situation, the scenarios we are considering are all short term,” he said. If we can’t sort out the short-term then, unfortunately, we aren’t going to have time to sort out anything more long-term. We aren’t allowing that to enter our minds. Tebas also confirmed that La Liga had sent coronavirus test kits to all of its clubs so players can be tested.
