That. One. Out. Zero: Ethan Ampadu’s hair Look, quite frankly who are we to criticise the choices of footballers in their personal lives, it makes absolutely no difference to us and of course Ethan Ampadu can keep his dreadlocks, cut off the dreadlocks, cut off half the dreadlocks, fashion the dreadlocks into a nativity scene and balance that on his head: it’s none of our concern.
Man of the match - Jamie Vardy (Leicester) Who else? When Vardy scores, Leicester tend to do well. The striker was a tad subdued for much of the game, but after slotting in his 100th Premier League goal he came to life againLeicester double post-restart goals tallyLeicester scored more goals in this match (3) than they had in their three previous games combined since the Premier League restart (2).
The Canaries need a minor miracle to claw back the seven-point gap between them and safety before the season finishes, though a win on Saturday would help them to hold on to a shred of hope that survival is still possible.
Gao and Katharina Liebherr have put measures in place to ensure that all staff not deferring part of their salaries will continue to receive 100% of their pay, paid in the normal way until 30th June.

Thibaut Courtois pulled off a number of stunning saves as Getafe pressed for the opener, but the breakthrough came through the Belgian’s opposite number as David Soria punched into his own net under pressure from Raphael Varane. Varane added his name to the scoresheet in the second half, powering home a header from a Toni Kroos freekick delivery.
The surprise was Portuguese clubs did not look at him seriously until Jorge Jesus, the current Flamengo boss decided to sign him," said Portuguese football writer Jose Delgado. In the media we were asking why Benfica, Sporting or Porto were not going for Fernandes because you could see he was a fantastic player. He was a sure bet and it has proved a great success. The numbers back that up. Since the start of the 2017-18 season, Fernandes has topped the Portuguese Primeira Liga rankings for the most goal involvements (67), most goals outside the penalty area (9), most chances created (239), most shots (271) and most shots on target (114).
The Real Madrid and Belgium forward limped off in the second half of his side's 1-0 defeat to Levante on Saturday night and is certain to miss at least the first leg of the Champions League last 16 clash with Manchester City and the upcoming Classico.

The hosts are hoping to land another big home result, having just seen off Derby 3-0 here at the weekend. That victory got Mark Bowen’s side back to their best, ending a three-game winless run for the hosts. It took the Royals to five home wins for the season, four of which have come in Bowen’s first six home games as manager.
Everton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin is set for a period out of action after undergoing knee surgery. The 30-year-old Frenchman suffered a torn meniscus during the Toffees' 3-2 defeat by Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday. The former Manchester United and Southampton player has made 15 league appearances for Everton this season. Everton, 11th in the Premier League, have not yet given an indication of how long Schneiderlin will be out for.
The Gunners can't let that gap between them and the top four get any wider, it's already large enough. Over 90 minutes they have gone five league and cup games without a win and pressure is growing on Unai Emery. A run of two points from four league games just isn't good enough and a loss to Southampton and/or Norwich City in their next match may cause plenty of trouble for Emery.
The Swede thought he had given Milan the lead when he dispossessed a defender, rode another challenge and slotted the ball into the net but his effort was chalked off after a lengthy VAR review for handball. It did not seem to matter when Ante Rebic pounced on a mistake to put Milan ahead in the 56th minute.
Simone Halep is the top seed for the Dubai Women's Open and takes on Elena Rybakina in the final. The world number two has had a tough week and it looked as if she might lose in the second round.

I do not see an easy game here for Dynamo Brest who have played 4 games at home in the league in this start of the season and hold a record of just 1-1-2 so far, I mean they even failed to beat modest Smolevichi in round 1 managing just a 1-1 draw, they won with decent Isloch Minsk through with 3-1, but lost with average Slavia Mozyr with 2-1, and also lost without much of a sweat with 2-0 at home against Soligorsk a game with many scoring chances in which to tell the truth Brest was unlucky not to score but really poor at defending.
Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has won the Ballon d'Or award for the world's best player for a record sixth time. It is the 32-year-old Argentine's first Ballon d'Or since 2015 and comes after he scored 54 times for club and country in 2018-19, in which Barca won La Liga. Virgil van Dijk was second - one of four Liverpool players in the top seven, including Sadio Mane in fourth. Juventus and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who has won the award five times, was third in the voting.
Leipzig opened their account in the third minute with a Patrick Schick goal and doubled their lead through Marcel Sabitzer a minute later. Timo Werner made it 3-0 in the 26th minute as they looked to be cruising to a comfortable win. But Paderborn pulled one back just past the hour through Streli Mamba and Klaus Gjasula also scored in the 73rd to set up a tense finale.
Leicester have struggled when playing the very best teams in the Premier League. The reverse fixture saw them lose 3-1 at City and that was swiftly followed by a 4-0 home drubbing by Liverpool. They rallied with two straight league wins but since then have just one victory in their last five matches.
The court announced on Thursday that a seven-member panel had dismissed Platini's application against world governing body FIFA's 2015 decision and maintained his human rights had not been violated. The court found in particular that, having regard to the seriousness of the misconduct, the senior position held by Mr Platini in football's governing bodies and the need to restore the reputation of the sport and of FIFA, the sanction did not appear excessive or arbitrary," the court said in a statement.

I played in the Bundesliga opener against Leverkusen, then we played Dusseldorf on the Tuesday. I had one of those games where I could have shut my eyes and the ball would still have gone where I wanted it to go. I set up two and just couldn't have had a better game. Coming off the bench that night were Karl-Heinz Riedle and Sousa. When the board went up for a substitution I automatically assumed my number would go up, but it didn't.
Northern Premier League Premier Division leaders South Shields FC were set for promotion to National League North with a 13-point gap to second, but will now spend another campaign in tier seven of English football. Chairman Geoff Thompson vented his frustration on Twitter, saying they had been "badly let down". SSFC will be writing to the FA in the strongest possible terms and will seek an appeal or will take legal action," he said.
Each of these three matches has ended in defeat for the Clarets though, and we can see them losing again here.

To be asked to finish a quarter of the season under new rules and conditions is an entirely different proposition. How can the long-term future of clubs be determined under these fundamentally changed conditions? How is there any semblance of fairness? To wave aside all the fears and concerns is too simplistic. Surely all 20 clubs must agree the fairest way forward to complete the season?"Player contracts a Monday focusThe national lead for football policing, deputy chief constable Mark Roberts, told ITV that clubs should "get a grip" and stop complaining about neutral venues.
According to the Times, the Foxes have identified Burnley defender Charlie Taylor as a potential replacement for the 23-year-old who has gathered interest from the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham. The Times state that Leicester's recruitment team have sent scouts to watch Taylor on multiple occasions this season, as Brendan Rodgers looks to keep the strength in his squad ahead of the club's likely qualification for next season's Champions League.

Watford will be happy to be back home after their away loss to Crystal Palace and they have pulled some good results at home. They take on Leicester who are also on a high after their back to back wins and we expect a very exciting game here. Both sides have been scoring a plenty and we expect to see some goals fly in here. In three of the last four meetings, Leicester have won 2-0 but in their last three visits to Watford, they have lost. A good bet here will be on over 2.5 goals, as we expect both sides to employ an open game plan.
Five of these clashes have ended in defeat, allowing the gap between them and 5th placed Manchester United to narrow to five points. Considering their next four league matches see them face Arsenal, Leicester, Man Utd and Tottenham, things could turn sour for them very quickly.
Santos is fighting for second, not that it gives them anything extra, but for the pride as them and Palmeiras have a little rivalry since one is from Sao Paulo and the other one is from Rio de Janeiro. Palmeiras Will have a difficult game against the champions Flamengo and that will give Santos the chance to get ahead on the table. Santos is clearly stronger has a way better squad. Chapecoense already sealed their fate with the Serie B being their place for next season. This next games is just filling calendar and trying new things. That is not enough to beat Santos
Erling Braut Haaland continued his remarkable scoring record for Borussia Dortmund but could not stop his side suffering a shock German Cup third-round defeat against Werder Bremen. Teenager Haaland, 19, came on a substitute and scored his eighth goal in four games since signing in January. He pulled Dortmund to 2-1 behind after Davie Selke and Leonardo Bittencourt struck in the first half for Werder.
A team in much worse form is Stade de Reims. David Guion's men enjoyed a blistering start to the campaign with wins over PSG and Lille making Ligue 1 fans take notice but they have hit a bit of a slump in recent weeks with zero wins in their last four league matches. They did managed to get a 2-1 win over third-tier Bourg-en-Bresse in the cup but apart from that it has been rather disappointing.
Everybody knows I care for this football club and I want to win so badly, not just for myself but for every West Ham United fan out there. Sometimes I take so much pressure on my own shoulders that every time we make a mistake or concede a goal, I blame myself, rightly or wrongly, and my emotion can come out. That's why I have played at this level for so long, because I care so much, and I want us to do well.
Jeju Utd was very weak in defense in the first league level last season especially in away games as for example in their last 5 games on the road last season they always scored but conceded at least the same amount and many times more as they ended the season on bottom place in the end and after some very good seasons spent in the first league with some decent performances in the Champions League as well they are now playing in the second league level and the start has not been great for them.

Tottenham players pay price for Dublin bashIt’s not often that Harry Redknapp goes on the warpath but, while he was in charge of Tottenham, he did just that after a golfing break to the Republic of Ireland was used as a pretext for an unauthorised Christmas party. Instead of his players hitting the Irish fairways, they spent an afternoon in a Dublin pub before heading on to a nightclub. They returned 72 hours before a 1-0 Premier League defeat to Wolves in December 2009.
La Liga's organising body has put the estimated cost of the season not finishing at 700 million euros (£622. I don't think it's too difficult to play 11 matches in two months. Not playing would leave a hole of 700 million euros which would take a lot to fix," added Roures. We would be suffering for a long time as a result so that's why we have to try to finish the season.
All things considered, we see excellent value in backing the Both Teams to Score line and feel it's the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned. Both teams have now scored in San Luis' last 6 away games and we do see the visitors managing to score on Sunday but given they've also lost 9 of their last 12 home games; a 2-1 home win looks well on the cards.
We are professionals on the pitch, what happens off it we cannot do much [about]. Speaking to Match of the Day after Wednesday's 2-0 Premier League win over West Ham, he added: "We talked about what we have to do until the end of the season, especially for the people who love this club. We will play our game the best as possible. We have a lot of interesting things to play for. Asked if he will stay regardless of the outcome of the appeal against the European football ban, he said: "If they don't sack me I will be here.
Lokomotiv Gomel was the best team in the previous season in the first league of Belarus at home where they won 11 of 14 matches and scored 34 goals while conceded only 9. They are pretty strong and to be honest they should get into the extra league of Belarus in this season. Khimik is an amateur team and I don't think that something will happen for them in this clash. I think that they will not be able to even score one goal against Gomel. My bet here is an Asian handicap -2.5 for the hosts. If nothing will be fixed we should see even 6:0 for Gomel

Boring, tiresome guff. The Europa League offers a wonderful mix of older, historic clubs going toe-to-toe with upstarts that produces some quite majestic matches and no little drama. Celtic were dumped out by F. C. København, Arsenal and Olympiacos went at it all the way to the 123rd minute that included some late, late drama (see below), 10-man Linzer Athletik-Sport-Klub gave AZ Alkmaar their marching orders and it was generally a great evening of football.
Fortunately for the hosts, Wednesday's opponents have been in shocking form of late. Lyon have lost each of their last two at home, but they've faced good sides, that are far superior to Toulouse, while they were unbeaten in three, two of which they won, prior to those defeats.
