Defoe scored a hat-trick when Rangers beat 10-man Hibs 6-1 at Ibrox in August. Hibs have shared the spoils with Rangers in the last three fixtures at Easter Road, including a remarkable 5-5 draw to close out the 2017-18 season. The hosts lost goalkeeper Ofir Marciano to a calf injury at half time in a 2-0 loss at Celtic at the weekend but are hopeful the Israel international will be fit. Experienced defender Darren McGregor was an unused substitute at Celtic Park, having recovered from an abdominal injury sustained in August.
I can live with the fact that referees are human beings who make mistakes but now when technology makes a mistake, that is a problem," he said. Ceferin said he was not against VAR in principle but said that "we have to make it clearer, we have to make it faster, we have to make it less invasive -- but it will stay.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he would prefer to play their game away to Manchester City at City's home ground, rather than a neutral venue.
Jose's new excuse Tottenham’s tricky spell under Jose Mourinho continued on Sunday as they had to come from a goal down to draw 1-1 against Jonathan Woodgate’s Middlesbrough. Lucas Moura saved Spurs from a minor giant-killing and Mourinho dig deep into his excuses bag as he tried to explain the disappointing nature of the display.
Ipswich lost 3 in a row and now they are on the pressure of winning this game but that is not going to be easy at all because Wimbledon is not easy team to beat when they are playing at home, but Wimbledon offense is not that good and I think it is very realistic they will fail to score tonight and on the other hand there is no way Ipswich could score more than two goals so I think this bet is very good option and who wants to follow, I surely recommend it to anyone,under 1.5 is way too risky!
England Women will open the 2021 European Championship on home soil at Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium on 7 July. The announcement comes 500 days before the tournament next summer. The 76,000-capacity stadium will be one of 10 venues used across the country, while Wembley will host the final. It will be amazing," said England boss Phil Neville, who won six league titles, three FA Cups and a European Cup as a player for Manchester United.
However, athletes are allowed to express views in press conferences and on social media. We feel very strongly that the players' freedom of speech and the freedom to express themselves on political issues need to be protected," Baer-Hoffmann told reporters from international news agencies on the sidelines of an International Labour Organisation conference about athletes' rights.
Floyd, a 46-year-old unarmed black man, died as a white police officer held a knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes. His death sparked protests around the world. This is not a moment to stop fighting for equal rights for all races, says Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo. The Portuguese was speaking after a 'White Lives Matter Burnley' banner was flown over Etihad Stadium as Manchester City hosted Burnley on Monday.
It felt like we were just about to challenge [for the title] again and all of a sudden he left to go to our biggest rivals. Robin van Persie joined Manchester United in 2012 and won the Premier League title in his first season"It was difficult to take. I was there when Fabregas left, [Samir] Nasri left, big players. If we had kept that team together I think we would have gone on to win the Premier League - and who knows from there?"What was it like during and after the Iceland defeat?The last of Wilshere's 34 England caps came in the Euro 2016 last-16 defeat against Iceland, Roy Hodgson's final match as England manager.
Stoke, who have lost five of their past six away matches, are two points from safety and will spend Christmas in the bottom three. They were aggrieved not to be awarded a penalty when Howson appeared to clip Clucas' leg with the score at 1-1 but were grateful to goalkeeper Jack Butland for keeping them in the contest. The England international brilliantly kept out Daniel Ayala's second-half header, having also done well to save from Fletcher in the first half.

Over in Midlothian, Hibs shrugged off their two consecutive defeats to Celtic and Rangers with another win under Jack Ross, as the Hibees casually beat their city rivass Hearts 2-0 at Tynecastle on Wednesday.
They have just one clean sheet in their last six home matches in the Championship and have scored in 12 of their last 15 Championship matches. In their last 13 Championship matches, Nottingham have scored in 11. They have the least goals among the teams in the top five of the standings – 38. The last four meetings between the two sides have produced under 2.
It's one of those special days in the football calendar. Sunday was scheduled to be the final day of the Premier League season and it's normally full of drama, joy and pain - the whole range of emotions. Who could forget some of the dramatic final days - at both ends of the table - with title wins, relegation and European qualification often up for grabs? With football currently suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic, the final day of the campaign has been put on hold indefinitely, but we want to hear your favourite final-day memories.
Burnley's return of two clean sheets from eight Premier League outings doesn't improve on Newcastle's figure by much, and with both defences looking far from watertight, we think there is a strong chance that goals will be scored at either end at Turf Moor on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola's side had scored five times in each of their previous two outings but, in their first game since learning their European ban has been overturned, they did not seem in the mood to punish their opponents further. Instead it was Bournemouth, fresh from their remarkable comeback to beat Leicester at the weekend, who threatened a repeat of that recovery here. The visitors went close in the first half when Ederson had to push Junior Stanislas's whipped free-kick on to his post, and was fortunate when the ball bounced back off his head and out of play.
Crewe Alexandra are in a fight for the title in league two with 5 other teams and are currently on the second place only 3 points behind league leaders Swindon. At home Crewe Alexandra have been excellent in the last months in the league with a 8-1-0 record in the last 9 matches.
The Welsh football federation will earn around £8 million from attending the championship this summer, and £5. Manager Giggs will take £400,000 of that as his own reward. Paper Round’s view: Players are generally given little money for succeeding internationally compared to their domestic achievements.
No spoilers for the results, but there were A Lot Of Goals when Crystal Palace played Liverpool, and Almost As Many Goals when Manchester United played Oldham Athletic. Alex Ferguson has gambled big-time by picking both Neil Webb and Bryan Robson. Webb has started only one league game since August. Robson hasn’t played any first-team football since Christmas.
And for reference every argument made here can also apply to the Bundesliga, which until very recently was going ahead this weekend with no fans, until a late suspension until April 2. Just look at the quotes of Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge before the cancellation came in. At the end of the day, it’s about finances and the outstanding big TV payments to clubs.
In fact, new coach Quique Setien had his own ‘this is fine’ moment as he surveyed the scene of defeat for a demoralised and discombobulated Barcelona. We are leaving this competition, it is painful, but the image of the team has been very good,” Setién said. Everything went well today except the result … I am quite satisfied.
West Brom have won four of their last five league games. Preston have struggled away from home and recent wins have come against relegation candidates. Preston are the joint lowest away goal scorers in the Championship. After a poor spell of form, all seems to be well again at West Bromwich Albion. They are four points clear at the top of the Championship and look for a fifth league win in six games when hosting sixth placed Preston North End.
After a promising start at Ajax, Dick's knee was left "black and blue and the size of a football" after a Cup Winners' Cup tie against Olympiakos. There were doubts over whether he would recover and, although he did return after the best part of a year, his pace was gone, along with the confidence to go into tackles. Between his failing body and the three-foreigner rule, Dick's opportunities were limited and his Ajax career petered out.
We will remain in regular dialogue with sports governing bodies and broadcasters, ensuring they are in receipt of the most up to date guidance from the health authorities. AnalysisDan Roan, BBC sports editorMonday's meeting was led by Anna Deignan, the DCMS head of sport, but there were no ministers present. A number of attendees, who wish to remain anonymous, said that despite the grave uncertainty the sports industry is now facing, the mood remained calm and measured.
That's how he became an extraordinary player. It is not just Gnabry's attacking prowess - he has scored nine goals for Bayern in 18 games this season - that has impressed Nouri. He is lightning quick, a clinical finisher, but he puts a lot of work now in his defence - that was something he was missing before," Nouri said. Now he's taking these deep runs back to his own box defending. He's capable of doing this work while on the other hand making deep runs for the offence.
The tweet was rapidly deleted. HAT TIP "Barcelona’s ex-manager took training on Monday morning, if only because he was not the ex-manager just yet. Besides, someone somewhere had to act with a little dignity. And what if it didn’t happen? He was certainly not about to make the decision for them, so Ernesto Valverde drove into San Joan Despí not long after 8am.
I see no reason why not to believe this shall be a high scoring win for the guests as after the restart they played away from home at Mainz and had the lead 3-0 from half-time of the game and scored two more goals in the second half winning with 5-0 in the end and before the break they also won with same score 5-0 away from home at Schalke, and Koln is quite soft in defense with 52 goals conceded in the league alone this season but really not that bad attacking with 44 goals scored by them while after the restart all 3 games of theirs went with over 3.5 goals drawing 2-2 at home with both Mainz and Dusseldorf who are fighting against relegation and losing 3-1 away at Hoffenheim.
Infantino suggested the Premier League problem may be due to excessive examination of video reviews. In Italy, in Spain, in Portugal, in Germany this offside discussion is not existing on the VAR. But it’s not a problem, it’s something to look into. And maybe it shows that actually it’s more a question of the rule and the application of the rule, and application of the VAR itself.

They were second-best all over the park. From Bernd Leno, who suffered a nightmarish evening in goal, to David Luiz who looked lost when his defensive partner Shkodran Mustafi was forced off with injury. Offensively, Mesut Ozil was again anonymous, Pepe tried hard but produced little, while Alexandre Lacazette frustrated after a couple of promising displays.

Mane let his feelings be known. As in life, the ends often justify the means, and in 2017-18 at least - the year he was honoured as the league's best player by his fellow professionals - the net certainly rustled for Salah. A cursory glance at Mane's goals and assists ratios tells of a player who picks up the slack where the team needs it.

The first goal was a wonder goal. The second goal was a lapse in concentration. We had chances in the game, opportunities to be ruthless, and we didn't really commit to it. Earlier on Thursday, tournament debutants Spain beat Japan 3-1 at the Exploria Stadium thanks to two second-half goals from 21-year-old Lucia Garcia.
It was nearly five in a row as they were behind for 84 minutes until a 92nd minute equalizer. Fiorentina have only two points from their last four home league matches and have only won two of their eight this season. Not many goals though with just 19 in eight matches and four of the last five have had under 2.
While Reims have done well of late, Montpellier haven't been in great form. Tuesday's visitors have won just one of their last five matches, losing each of their last two, shipping five goals in the process.
Leicester City v Southampton *Leicester beat Southampton 9-0 in the reverse fixture -- the biggest top-flight away win in English football history. Southampton are on a five-match unbeaten run in all competitions (W4 D1) -- their best form this season. Ayoze Perez scored a hat-trick in each of his last two games against Saints (for Newcastle United and Leicester).
Those of us who covered Liverpool's last title triumph under Dalglish in 1990 would never have believed it would take 30 years to experience it again. As the smoke cleared, the lights came back on and the red and gold ticker tape littered Anfield, You'll Never Walk Alone was played again. Football, as we have seen, is impossible to predict but it would stretch the imagination to believe that this Liverpool team under its leader Klopp will make their fans wait as long again to celebrate a Premier League triumph.
The Premier League has showcased some legendary players but it's the strikers who are the great entertainers and have provided the most memorable moments. Alan Shearer holds the record for most Premier League goals with 260, while Ian Wright scored 113 - but who has been the greatest goalscorer of them all?Shearer, Wright and Gary Lineker discussed the topic on the latest episode of the new Match of The Day: Top 10 podcast and we want you to get involved by ranking your favourites from a shortlist drawn up by the Match of the Day commentary team.
Sherrock broke her English compatriot in the seventh leg and had the advantage of throw in the final leg, leading 6-5, but Durrant produced a 70 checkout to earn a point. The 25-year-old Sherrock was the first woman to appear in the Premier League, having been invited as a challenger after reaching the last 32 of the World Championship.
Barcelona have won 40% of their away games in the league this season, averaging 1.50 points on the road, while Atletico have only won 33% of their away games and average just 0.89 goals per game away from home which is below the league average of 1.06 goals. However, Atletico concede an average of just 0.67 goals on the road which is why we have backed under 2.5 goals will be scored in Thursday’s clash.
Fellow promoted side Sheffield United are the only team alongside Liverpool to remain unbeaten on the road (W1 D6). Forward Lys Mousset has scored five goals and set up another three for the Blades this season. Brighton & Hove Albion v Wolverhampton Wanderers (1630) *Fifth-placed Wolves are on a 10-match unbeaten run, last losing in September (W5 D5).
Brest host Smolevichi in the 1st round of the football league in Belarus. Brest is the defending champion, while Smolevichi is a team from the 2nd league that got promoted. I doubt we going to see plenty of goals in this match, because Smolevichi is very weak team and it will be hard for them to score, also on the other side Brest is a team that not allows many goals per game. Smolevichi will probably defend all match, so I decided to go with the tip total goals under 3.5. I think it is very reasonable margin. Good luck.
