These two sides sit level on 24 points in the Championship, six shy of the playoffs and eight ahead of the bottom three. They’re firmly in midtable, but can either of them climb the standings with three points in this game?
We are at the helm of a sport that vast numbers of people live and breathe that has been laid low by this invisible and fast-moving opponent. At times like these, that the football community needs to show responsibility, unity, solidarity. Even as the video conference was ongoing, Norway's FA broke ranks to confirm via Twitter that the tournament had been postponed for the first time in its history.
The restart date for the Premier League will be pushed back on Friday. All 20 Premier League clubs will meet via video and it is accepted by all that there is no hope of professional games being played immediately after the current 30 April deadline. The Premier League could shift the date back into May or opt to follow Spain and France, who have shut down their leagues for an indefinite period. Italy have talked of Serie A returning in late May, but that seems optimistic.
They have won three of their four Europa League games so far, one of which came in a 3-0 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt over in Germany. The visiting Bundesliga side are having an unusually tough time of it in the Europa League this term, and their defeat to Standard Liege last time out leaves them trailing the Belgians in the group.
This message is for my black brothers and sisters: We must survive," he said in a message on Twitter. This pandemic is real and the damage that is left in the wake of the coronavirus is realized mostly in our communities. Bad policy, institutional neglect and overexposure place us disproportionately in arm’s reach of the dangers of this deadly virus.

No-one likes a player who runs down blind alleys. Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish tops the chart for the number of carries ending in a chance being created this season with 17, a reflection of his impressive season back in the Premier League. Earlier this season, Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer said a tweak of Grealish's position is helping this improvement. The manager has been asking him to play a lot closer to the centre-forward Wesley, predominantly from the left-hand side, and it's suiting his game," Shearer said.
The chief of Greater Manchester Police says his force are "fearful" of crowds turning up at football stadiums if the Premier League season restarts. The league hopes to return on 12 June with games played behind closed doors. But GMP chief constable Ian Hopkins believes some "tricky fixtures" could pose a problem for policing. Liverpool coming to Manchester City I have no doubt would attract crowds whether they're allowed in the ground or not," he said.
Richards joined Fiorentina in 2014 on a season-long loan for a fee of £3. At the time he left City, aged 26, he was the club's longest-serving playerDoing my research on FiorentinaMoving to Italy was exciting, but sad at the same time. I had never really wanted to leave City because they were my club and I loved them so much, they were like a family to me - but at the same time I wanted to play and I had to do what was right for my career.
MLS had been planning and hoping for a mid-May return having shut down the season on March 12 after just two weeks. Our goal remains to play as many games as possible, and while we currently have enough dates to play the entire season, we recognize at this time that it may become difficult to do so," said MLS in a statement.
After a spell with MK Dons, he did not play football for about three years after his daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia, before returning to play for non-league Runcorn last season.

However, the Baggies are making huge strides under Slaven Bilic. West Brom have won 39 points from their opening 18 Championship games this season – considering three points for a win, only in 1953-54 (41 points in the top-flight) and 1901-02 (42 points in the second tier) have the Baggies won more points at this stage of a campaign across the top four tiers of English Football. Can they add to that great record when they meet Preston this week?
So what next for West Ham and Moyes?How faith in Pellegrini dwindledMoyes must win over doubtersThe reaction from West Ham's supporters to the news of Moyes' appointment was - to put it mildly - lukewarm, and hints at how he must fight to rebuild his credibility. When Moyes was heavily linked with a possible return to Everton as successor to Marco Silva - a job he came very close to getting until Carlo Ancelotti was sacked by Napoli - the reaction among supporters was toxic, causing pause for thought in the Goodison Park boardroom.
Both teams have scored in seven of the last nine Swansea City away games. Swansea City have only kept three clean sheets in their last 19 Championship fixtures.

A host of players simultaneously promoted a statement from the organisation on social media. Players such as Fabinho, Fernandinho, Jordan Henderson, Harry Maguire, James Milner, Dele Alli and more posted the same message to their social media accounts. The Debate: Penalties are tough enough, kill the ball after it’s taken Exclusive: Haaland – What I look for when moving clubs Mourinho 'accepts' actions went against social distancing guidelines There had been criticism and pressure from politicians, including Minister for Health Matt Hancock, for players to take a wage cut in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, but despite negotiations between players and the league, nothing has been agreed across the board.
Over 2.5 goals have been produced in 67% of Casa Pia’s home games as well as in 33% of Porto’s away games but the hosts haven’t kept any clean sheets at home and their guests have kept clean sheets in 73% of their games this season, which is why we are backing the visitors to shut out their opponents on Thursday.
Juventus, Italy's most successful team domestically, have traditionally been a side who have won trophies without worrying about how they do it. Before Sarri -- who earned his reputation during a three-year stint at Napoli -- was appointed in the summer, they had spent five seasons under the more pragmatic Massimiliano Allegri, who repeatedly stressed the importance of "administering the match".
Alki Oroklini will host Ayia Napa for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors have a chance to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. I believe, Ayia Napa are in better shape than their opponent. They have two consecutive victories. Also, Ayia Napa is the best team on the road. In any case, the visitors have the potential to fight for a positive result. Also, we have Alki Oroklini who's is not very good team in this season. Hosts have big fluctuations. In last game Alki Oroklini is won 2-0 against weak Ypsonas. My pick - Ayia Napa to win.
I'm absolutely delighted to be named the winner of the League Managers Association manager of the year award, for this wonderful Sir Alex Ferguson trophy, named after a man that I admire so much," said Klopp. It feels extra special to win this award because it is voted for by my fellow managers. It's an honour to be in the company of so many managers who have been named as LMA manager of the year before, including of course Liverpool managers like Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan, Sir Kenny Dalglish and, in recent years, Brendan Rodgers.

It's been an issue and now we have another bulk," Lampard told reporters when asked why Chelsea have struggled. There are no fresh returns from the injury list. Andreas Christensen has got a small issue which we are going to give another 24 hours, but probably puts him in out of the game. Other than that we have no Tammy Abraham, no Pulisic, no Hudson-Odoi and no Kante.
Eintracht Frankfurt edged past St Pauli in the previous round of this competition after a brace from Bas Dost was just enough to help his side post a 2-1 scorecard. The hosts have been coping well in their recent clashes in the first division as well, and are currently sporting an impressive three-match unbeaten streak under their belt.

Ryan Fraser got a knock on his leg, a dead leg really. We didn't see him at training in the early part of this week, but hopefully he'll be ok," Howe added.
Emirates Stadium had become a toxic arena with public displays of disaffection for the great manager as Arsenal languished in the shadow of Liverpool, Manchester City and others in the fight for domestic supremacy. Emery, with his record of three successive Europa League wins at Sevilla and titles with PSG, emerged ahead of Mikel Arteta at the last moment as the man to clear the air, to move Arsenal out of Wenger's giant shadow and plot a route forward.

He added: "Xhaka's comeback is going to be important to us. The Swiss midfielder has not played for the club since he swore and gestured towards Arsenal fans while being substituted during the match against Palace on 27 October, although he did feature for Switzerland in November's final round of European Championship qualifiers. Xhaka explained in a statement that he had "reached boiling point" following threats by supporters towards his family, and was offered counselling by Arsenal.
Eriksen close to Inter agreement The Daily Star carries a story that suggests that Spurs playmaker Christian Eriksen is close to agreeing a deal with Italian side Inter Milan. The 28-year-old playmaker is running down his contract in London and will be available to join Antonio Conte’s side for nothing at the end of the season.
Manchester United have been relying a lot on Marcus Rashford's brilliance, so his absence is particularly damaging for them right now. Rashford is out injured for at least the next six weeks and while he is not on the pitch, I am not sure where United's goals are going to come from. If you watch the best sides, then the way they attack and the way the team functions is not down to any individual. Look at Liverpool, and the way they get it wide or get the ball in behind to one of the front three and you can see how and where they create.

What I will say is they will be very carefully considered and we'll share as much of that as we can. Ms Sturgeon also cautioned that "some sort of social distancing" would still be required once restrictions are lifted, which would have consequences for attendances. That could last, she confirmed, until a vaccine becomes available, with the latest reports suggesting that could be the second half of next year.

Ismaila Sarr was signed before Sanchez Flores' arrival for what was a club record fee in excess of £25m from Rennes, but his goal in the loss at Southampton was his first in the Premier League. Sanchez Flores has failed to make the most of Watford's attacking options, with only seven goals in those 10 league games and once the leaks at the back became more pronounced, it was all over. There was an element of risk in Watford's return to Sanchez Flores.
In this match, it is difficult to choose a winner. It hurts the Brazilians in the camp of the dashboard are good! They make the game straight of course. Neman always played at home is not bad, I would even say good. Therefore, for me, it is extremely difficult to make a choice in someone’s favor, but now I have a certain flair that there will be more than 3 goals, here it’s just 4 even. But then again, the site decided not to take any chances and take 2.5 more for a nice cache too, more than. Those who are afraid can take 2 more is also quite playable. Yes, I agree, the League is quite dangerous in terms of totals, but I could not get past this. Well, at least kill, well, I can’t believe that these two wonderful teams will not be able to accumulate 3 goals. I don’t believe, so I’ll check
I like ajax fc in this match I think they are the better team in better form they, when they traveled away playing against a very strong team in Chelsea they were very unlucky not to win scoring 4 goals and I think with there form they will score a few goals in this game and should win this match. Lille lost there last match whilst ajax fc have scored 4 goals there last 2 matches not forgetting travelling away against Chelsea fc and also I think form will play apart in this game and the team who more clinical who are ajax fc
