Read the full story Giroud offered Lazio deal Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud has been offered a pre-contract by Italian side Lazio, according to the Daily Telegraph. The 33-year-old French international was close to leaving Chelsea in the winter but no move materialised, and he is free to enter negotiations with clubs outside England.
Spurs have changed manager since then, with Mauricio Pochettino succeeded by Jose Mourinho, who has two previous Champions League wins to his name - Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010. Their opponents RB Leipzig currently lead the German Bundesliga and have in Timo Werner one of Europe's most coveted strikers and in Julian Nagelsmann one of the continent's most promising young coaches. Chelsea face a tough tie against five-time Champions League winners Bayern Munich, who are reigning Bundesliga champions but sit fifth in the league and sacked manager Niko Kovac last month.
Juventus' highly-anticipated clash against Inter was due to be played behind closed doors in Turin, but the Italian football authorities have now decided to postpone the game and four others over fears of player and fan safety. AC Milan v Genoa, Parma v SPAL, Udinese v Fiorentina and Sassuolo v Brescia have all been called off, but Lazio v Bologna, Napoli v Torino, Lecce v Atalanta and Cagliari v Roma will go ahead as planned.
The hosts have an ace up their sleeve, as forward Goran Pandev tends to enjoy this fixture. Four of the five goals scored by Pandev in Serie A vs Torino have been netted in home encounters – since he joined Genoa, 10 of his 14 goals in the top-flight have been scored at home (71%).

Speaking of sides who like things on their own patch, that is no truer than this weekend’s visiting side to the Keepmoat Stadium, Accrington Stanley. The visitors have earned 64% of their points on home soil and have scored 7% of their goals in front of their own fans. However, while they may prefer home comforts, they have plenty of reasons to be hopeful of three points this weekend.
At home, they have nine wins and one loss in the Eredivisie this season. Generally, their home form in the league has been good, and going to this clash they have a run of just one loss in 39 home league matches, dating back to 2017. Ajax are unbeaten in their last three matches against PSV and they have the best attack in the league, with 61 goals.
Ross, aware of no real attacking threat from his side, brought on Daryl Horgan for Joe Newell to accompany Boyle's introduction in Florian Kamberi's place. Then Mallan came on for Scott Allan. Yet their hosts just kept coming. With cross after cross failing to cleave an opening, Danny Mullen opted instead to fire in a long-range shot that ricocheted off a post. In a moment that seemed to sum up the evening for St Mirren, the ball then bounced in to the path of Jonathan Obika, who trundled it wide with the goal gaping.
Our children may feel anxious with uncertainty. It's not normal for any of us and it's going to challenge us all. Look out for each other. Please don't suffer alone, and remember that our great country has come through these enormous challenges before - and, together, we will do so again. We were due to play next week and to represent you all this summer, but now is clearly not the moment for us to take centre stage.

Jeju United is going to face Seoul E. The hosts has ended the previous season in K1 League in the last place and dropped to K2 League. In this match they are favorites and I think that they will easily win this match. Seoul lost most of the away matches in the previous season in K2 and they were losing with the results like 0:3 or 2:5. Jeju United is a much better team and I don't think that they will fail to win this match against one of the weakest teams from the second league of Korea. I pick Jeju

There should be plenty of goals in this contest as the team qualifying swings back and forth and we think it’s too tricky to pick the two teams apart. A 2-2 draw seems a likely outcome as both sides do all they can to reach the next round.
TALKING POINT Who is in Arteta's first XI? Martinelli, Saka and Willock are better than Lacazette, Pepe and Guendouzi. Will Mikel Arteta keep them in for league games, when everyone is fit?

They lost goalkeeper Tom Heaton and striker Wesley to serious knee injuries in the same game back in January, with both being ruled out for the season. At the time Heaton was ruled out of going to the then-planned Euro 2020 with England, so presumably he will not be fit until August at the very earliest, while Wesley is now back jogging. However, Villa removed both from their 25-man squad at the end of the January transfer window so they would not be able to play at all as it stands.

The Belgian forward, who took his league tally for the season to 16, broke the deadlock in the 64th minute and converted a penalty seven minutes later for new-look Inter, who had been on the back foot for much of the game.
The thought was that now we're in 2020 we would have got to a better place. It's not happened. It's good the players are taking back control and we've seen that in a number of games with the England-Bulgaria game in particular. The football authorities, the Premier League, the FA, the EFL, they're very mindful of the problem. It's absolutely crucial we work with everybody because it's a societal problem, not just a football problem.
Choudhury's strike, in particular, added insult to injury as it was his tackle in a meeting between the sides in August that resulted in the serious injury that keeps Matt Ritchie out to this day. A very bad day at the office Newcastle United have lost three Premier League games in a row for the first time since October 2018 under Rafael Benitez. Where to even start with Newcastle?In defiance of some of the doom-mongering that greeted Steve Bruce's appointment as Rafael Benitez's successor in the summer, the Magpies have enjoyed a solid season so far - unspectacular but resilient.
They are down to fourth and host Chelsea who are a point and a place above them. City have already lost three league games this season and can't afford to lose many more if they want to win a third straight Premier League title. The loss to Liverpool in the lead up to the international break has left them nine points behind the league leaders.
All of Atleti's away games this term have produced fewer than 2.5 goals, which has been the outcome in the last six meetings between the sides. Indeed, only six goals have been netted in the last half dozen contests between the pair, so we think under 2.5 goals is a cracking bet this Sunday.
Now Reading are looking to build on that great form, especially with just eight points between them and fourth-placed Forest. Even bigger than that is their 12 point lead over the bottom three, which is massive for the Royals. Can they extend that advantage with three points in this trip?
COMING UP Barcelona are playing Atlético Madrid in the semi-final of the Spanish Supercopa, which for some reason — probably the weather, right? — is being held in Saudi Arabia. Winner plays Real Madrid in the final. Also the Italian season is waking up again after its winter snooze. Torino take on Genoa in the last 16 of the Coppa Italia.
They had another thing in common – both were missing two of their better players. Roy Keane and Paul Scholes were suspended after receiving second yellow cards against Juventus; Keane’s absence meant Peter Schmeichel would captain United in his last game for the club. Bixente Lizarazu, the World Cup-winning left-back who Ferguson later tried to sign, and the excellent Brazilian forward Giovane Elber were injured for Bayern.
Even though in opening stages of last season when these two teams met here at Kazma the game ended with 3-3 in the end so no less than 6 goals being scored back than the situation is a bit different at least as far as Al Kuwait is concerned.

The Portuguese worked with the striker during their time at Inter Milan and Manchester United, and have famously maintained a close personal bond. We have the best striker in England," said Mourinho.

Slavia is going to face Bate for the first leg of Belarusian cup and to be honest I expect a really balanced game. Both teams look good but Slavia is better at this moment and I think that they will try to achieve a good result at home in this first match.

My bet here is an Asian handicap for Slavia and I think that there is a chance for them to pick a win against Bate. Bate will not be able to win here
