How coronavirus has affected sporting events around the worldCoronavirus and Premier League: Key questions about what lies aheadSome Gunners staff members are also self-isolating because they sat close to Marinakis, who also owns Championship club Nottingham Forest, for a prolonged period. The players' 14-day isolation period expires on Thursday, and their Premier League trip to Brighton on Saturday is due to go ahead as planned.
Jack Ross continued his winning start as Hibernian manager with a 2-1 Scottish Premiership victory against former club St Mirren in Paisley. After beating Motherwell on Saturday in Ross' first game, the Easter Road side led through Christian Doidge's fifth goal in three games. Stevie Mallan converted a second-half penalty to double the advantage as St Mirren struggled to create chances. Junior Morias did net in stoppage-time but it was mere consolation.
Money, though, is a big problem. Barca's budget is already stretched and they would almost certainly have to sell several players to meet Martinez's 111 million euro release clause at Inter. That could start with Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal, who is reportedly suing Barca in a dispute over unpaid bonuses and has already attracted Inter's interest. Cheaper options could be former Barca trainee Dani Olmo, who has shone for Dinamo Zagreb this season, and Osasuna striker Chimy Avila, whose hard-running style and penchant for spectacular goals has won admirers across Spain.
Mourinho needs to ditch the defeatist stuff and get Spurs back on track because only six days earlier spirits were soaring after victory as Aston Villa. High farce, even by VAR's lofty standards'Any record of this match would be incomplete without reference to an incident that constituted high farce, even by VAR's lofty standards.

Manchester United completed the Premier League double over derby rivals Manchester City for the first time in a decade as Anthony Martial's first-half goal and an injury time strike from Scott McTominay gave them victory at Old Trafford.

We have a great team spirit,” said Butt. We're young, so hopefully we can dominate for the next 10 years. We've got to try and make that happen. We must not be one-year wonders. But they were, at least in Europe. They won only one knockout game in the next seven seasons; and although they won the league title by a mile in the next two seasons, they eventually lost their domestic aura as well.
Sampdoria’s relegation fight sees them clash with Parma on Sunday, with Claudio Ranieri’s men in need of a win. The hosts are fresh from two losses to Cagliari in a matter of days, losing on the road in Serie A and the Coppa Italia. Now they need to turn things around at home, but could they slip up to Parma?
The visitors fought back again as Pascal Gross prodded home before the video assistant referee (VAR) awarded Glenn Murray's dramatic late leveller despite the striker initially appearing to handle the ball in the process. Brighton's comeback keeps them 15th in the table but West Ham slip into the relegation zone to 18th after out-of-form Bournemouth beat Aston Villa.
Sampdoria are in 16th place with 19 points, while a disappointing display from Brescia leaves them second-bottom on 14 points. Giuseppe Iachini earned his first win as Fiorentina coach in his second game in charge after a late German Pezzella header clinched a 1-0 win over bottom club SPAL to lift the 14th-placed hosts up to 21 points.
DISALLOWED GOAL! Doherty diverts a Jonny cross into the net and Molineux erupts, but the ball went in off his arm so it's not a goal. You don't even need VAR for that one. OFF THE POST! Jimenez runs down the right but finds himself isolated, so decides to go for goal from what looked like an impossible angle and clips the post! That was fun, but never going to result in a goal.
Swansea and QPR will face each other in the upcoming match in the Championship. Swansea this season have the following results: 12W, 10D and 9L. Meanwhile QPR have 11W, 5D and 15L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
We’re confident that both teams will score on Sunday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Braga only need a point to ensure they qualify while Pacos Ferreira will be going all out for the win this weekend. However, neither of these sides have lost in Group A so far and the hosts haven’t won many games in their own backyard while the visitors have struggled for wins on the road, which is why we have backed the pair to play out a draw this weekend.
The transfer window will be a bit fluid. It is quite clear in the summer we lost Eden Hazard who has been a huge part of scoring and creating for us in the last few seasons. We need more competition in those creative areas. Football Daily: Liverpool, Chelsea - Job done!Hazard, who scored 110 goals in 352 games for Chelsea, left for Real Madrid in the summer for an initial £89m in a deal which could rise to more than £150m.

Southampton's surge hit the buffers as they surrendered a 2-0 lead at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers to lose 3-2. Mexican striker Raul Jimenez struck twice after the break for Wolves who moved into sixth spot. RELEGATION DOGFIGHT David Moyes's West Ham United drew 1-1 at home to his old club Everton to remain in the thick of the relegation dogfight while Aston Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion drew 1-1 with Jack Grealish equalising for Villa who stay third from bottom.
Striker Marcus Rashford is developing an impressive understanding with Anthony Martial, also on the scoresheet, and Solskjaer took time to praise the Frenchman, who scored twice in the win over Newcastle. He was brilliant again today. For a forward, there's nothing better than scoring goals. Hopefully, it keeps his confidence high and this can continue until the end of the season," he said.
We take any such allegations extremely seriously and shall take the strongest possible action against any individual found to be behaving in such a way, including stadium bans. A fairly standard but callow statement. Each and every time racism occurs within a stadium the club who own said stadium follows the same template for the statement.
Posted at 63' Adama Traoré (Wolverhampton Wanderers) wins a free kick on the right wing. Lautaro Martinez scored twice as Antonio Conte's Inter Milan edged past SPAL to move top of Serie A.

There are still 12 rounds of matches to be played, plus several outstanding fixtures. Gravina told Sky Sport Italia that he was still determined for the season to be completed no matter how long it took. As soon as the conditions are right, we'll finish the championship," he said. Soon, there will be a meeting, we will establish the procedure which we will then communicate.
Hosts are league leaders after 4 rounds being played in the league as last round they faced the title holders from Hanoi FC away from home, and they had chances in the first half and could not score at the same time their opponents missed some good scoring chances as well but they were fully focussed in defense and their keeper was also excellent, while in the second half shortly after the restart they took the lead and kept it till the end to record a surprise 1-0 win.
Are they standing up? Are they being asked to stand up? We don't know. The problem is how you do it. It's obviously complicated and it takes time. People are always quick to jump on the judgemental high horse, certainly when it comes to footballers but lots of them do lots of really good things and I'm sure they'll continue to do so. Footballers do an extraordinary amount of good in the community, lots of them will already be giving in their own silent ways and I know that plans are afoot to make their contributions to society.
Rangers and Feyenoord have been charged by Uefa for the "setting off of fireworks" during their Europa League draw in Rotterdam last week. The Dutch side have also been charged over blocked stairways at their De Kuip stadium. The case will be assessed at a Uefa meeting on 27 February. Alfredo Morelos scored twice as Rangers drew 2-2 to go top of Group G, leaving Feyenoord bottom but still with a chance of reaching the last 32.
Another match between two teams that are going to be involved in a very tough fight to get that so wanted promotion. Both teams are so far at the playoff spot and most likely will finish there. Both teams are in kind of mixed ish form so I don't think that they will force anything too much tonight. Chievo are currently sitting at the 8th place with 42 pts and overall of 10 - 12 - 7 - 35 - 28 while Spezia are at the 4th place with 47 pts and overall of 13 - 8 - 8 ; 41 - 32. Both teams should focus more on defending certainly .
Moshiri has always wanted a 'Hollywood' manager with the reputation and successes of Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola. Now Everton have one. And it can only be cause for optimism. Ancelotti won the Champions League twice with AC MilanThe key question mark - and there is one - is that Ancelotti's successes have been built on brilliantly calm man-management and tactical wisdom, which have made him the ideal facilitator of great players such as Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid.
Rochdale, struggling in 18th place in League One, improved after the break though and the 40-year-old Wilbraham, a halftime substitute, poked home an equaliser with 10 minutes left. They would have been celebrating a famous win had Oliver Rathbone not scuffed a glorious late chance wide but Newcastle survived to set up a replay.
TALKING POINT Silva hanging by a thread. Leicester's bid to confirm the murmurs that they could sneak their way into becoming Liverpool's main title rivals were enhanced here, with the type of belief and togetherness that was reminiscent of the ingredients that saw them crowned shock champions back in 2016.
But the most important is the regularity in every match to make a difference. You have to analyse how you win every match. Middlesbrough manager Jonathan Woodgate:"Leeds are a really, really good team - the best in the Championship, without a doubt. But credit to my players. They kept going until the very end.

Meanwhile, BGU’s Uzbek talisman Jasurbek Yakhshiboev warrants a mention for an impressive showing. A hand in the first goal, while he netted the second in second-half injury time. The defending was questionable, sure, but overall it was entertaining viewing, and Yakhshiboev's footwork was certainly the standout.
Shearer: "One of most iconic games in the Premier League. Liverpool v Newcastle produced some fantastic games over the years. It was a few months before I joined Newcastle but it was non-stop entertainment. It was an incredible game. I wasn't at Newcastle then but still followed their progress. It was a game they had to get something out of. They had a 12-point lead in February but going into the game they trailed United by three points but still had two games in hand.
The hosts have had their problems this term, but they’ve still produced big results at the Madjeski Stadium this term. The hosts have won three of their last five here, while they will be itching to respond after narrow losses to Birmingham and Leeds.
ESTIMATED COST: Free 46: GAETANO CASTROVILLI (FIORENTINA) WHY HE COULD MOVE Fiorentina sat 13th in Serie A when the season was brought to a premature halt by the coronavirus pandemic. However, Castrovilli has provided a fillip to an otherwise dour season for the Viola. The 23-year-old, a versatile midfielder who can operate across the frontline, has excelled during his first season in the Italian top-flight following a couple of years in Serie B on loan with Cremonese.

It has said it has no intention of postponing matches or cancelling the season it began earlier this month.
It’s the player you want your club to sign despite only seeing a 10-minute goal and assist compilation of him on YouTube (which he does look excellent in, to be fair) Sadly though, Bruno Fernandes has signed a new deal with Sporting Lisbon. But don’t despair! Turns out his buyout clause has remained at 100m euros, ensuring he will attract ALL the media coverage in the January transfer window and, potentially, end up at your favourite club after all… HEROES AND ZEROES Hero: Ball boy "I love intelligent ball boys.

In the last 5 rounds, they have only won 1 match, the rest are 2 draws and 2 losses. Considered a team under the group, this is also considered the best achievement they scored at the present time.
Jong AZ Alkmaar are quite productive until now but they still stay at bottom half of the table. So I think they really need important win to avoid relegation zone now. Unfortunately, they will play against strong team here. De Graafschap have better quality of player than Jong AZ Alkmaar this season. De Graafschap stay at top half of the table. I hope two teams can score here and the game will not end with draw result. Maybe there will be at least 2 goals when first half. Let's see this interesting game until end with happy for all my frie

Unionistas de Salamanca will have one of the rare opportunities to play against top team from Spain, mighty Real Madrid will come to their stadium to play against them in Copa del Rey. In last round domestic side has played a draw against Deportivo la Coruna, and after better penalty kick they reached 1/16 stage of Copa del Rey, which is their biggest success in club history. This part of Copa del Rey is playing on knockout, so there is no second game, and Real Madrid will not gamble, they will play with most of their standard players, Luka Jovic will be in attack, and this duel will be an excellent opportunity for him finally to show his huge potential. Real Madrid to win with more than 3.5 goals sounds as good prediction for this duel.
