Jack Harrison had struck the post as Leeds dominated the first half, with striker Patrick Bamford sending a free header past the upright soon after the restart. Bamford then had two efforts cleared off the line as Leeds searched for an equaliser, with Latics centre-back Cedric Kipre well placed to clear the second attempt in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time as Wigan held on to record just their second away league win of the season.
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has registered at least one win over 15 of the 18 managers he's faced in the Champions League - one of the three he hasn't is current PSG boss Thomas Tuchel, who he has faced more often without winning than any other manager (P3 W0 D2 L1). Real Madrid's Rodrygo became the second youngest-ever Champions League hat-trick scorer (18y 301d) in their 6-0 win over Galatasaray.
In an exclusive interview with BBC Sport, the former Swindon manager said: "That for me has got to be looked at. Is it mutually exclusive that you want a quick appointment but you don't run a recruitment process?"Can you not do both? Is there a way to marry both those things? I understand and I've been there myself as an ex-manager and probably benefited at one point from needing to make an appointment quite quickly that someone might step into those shoes on a caretaker basis, if that club has the foresight to do that.

One of these wins came against Chelsea away in London and with the Blues coming from a 3-0 loss in the Champions League, Bournemouth will be keen to add to their woes. However, with back to back losses, and three losses in the last five matches, they don’t seem to have the run of form that would give them that confidence going to this clash.
Manchester City attempted 18 shots in this match, the most Leicester have faced in a single league game at King Power Stadium since Manchester United had 19 in December 2017. What's next?Leicester travel to bottom side Norwich on Friday (20:00 GMT) in the Premier League. Manchester City head for the Bernabeu on Wednesday to face Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League tie (20:00), then go to Wembley on Sunday to play Aston Villa in the final of the Carabao Cup (16:30).
Arsenal's underwhelming season continued at the weekend, as they drew against strugglers Norwich. It's now eight games (in all competitions) since the Gunners last tasted victory. It remains to be seen whether things will improve now that Unai Emery is no longer in charge, though if the performance at Carrow Road is anything to go by, it's going to be a while before major improvements occur.

Thursday did the SPFL's lawyer receive an email from Rangers seeking advice on the content of their resolution, which was put before the SPFL board first thing this morning.

POST! Salah curls a deft cross into the middle, it misses everyone, hits the inside of the post, seemingly in slow motion, rolls along the line and Henderson gathers! 64’ - GOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!! Liverpool 2-0 Sheffield United. What a counter attack as Mane makes it two! Throw out from Alisson, Mane races down the line, feeds Salah in the middle, the Egyptian controls, slides it back through for Mane, who finishes at the second attempt.

Now the season continues in Portugal. The break came just right for Boavista, because in the last 4 games before the break the team managed only one point and so the team slipped to 11th place with 29 points. Moreirense is doing well this season, the Team is 5th with 4 points behind Sporting and has been unbeaten for 6 games (3-3-0), with the last 1-4-0 record in away. In this respect, it is quite possible that the points will also be shared here. Moreirense were in good condition before the Corona virus break. I think Boavista will at least draw in this match.
After throwing away a two-goal last week, we expect Koln to come roaring out of the blocks. Only 33% of the goals they have conceded at home have been in the first half. Therefore, we see them carrying a lead into the half-time break and holding Fortuna at bay to get the win. Back the home side to win both halves.
This is the Premier League. You come out of two wins and suddenly you lose four on the spin. It creeps up on you. We have to fight for everything. We have always had to do that. The confidence gets sucked out of players if they are not winning. We are trying to revive that. Burnley continue to struggle against big sides - match statsChelsea registered their first league double against Burnley since the 2009-10 campaign under Carlo Ancelotti.
In recent weeks, Lincoln's lack of goals has started to become a real issue. Michael Appleton's men have failed to score in two of their last four, while they've scored only four goals in their last eight, notching in just two of their last six on the road, scoring a measly total of three goals.
Are partially filled stadiums realistic?Yes. Phase three of the plan to ease lockdown permits live events with "restricted numbers" and physical distancing. However, there is "no guarantee when this will happen," says Professor Jason Leitch, the national clinical director. The SPFL has begun tentative preparations by tasking clubs with conducting feasibility studies into reduced capacity crowds at their stadia.
Norwich, who remain bottom of the table and are now 10 points behind the 17th-placed Hornets, will be relegated if they lose to West Ham on Saturday. Emiliano Buendia's curled effort gave Norwich an early lead before Craig Dawson equalised with a close-range header. The home side won it through Welbeck's wonderful goal, after the ball looped up following a poor clearance by Max Aarons.
Leeds remain second in the Championship and Cardiff rise to seventh. Cardiff 2-0 Leeds as it happenedThe Bluebirds are now level on points with sixth-placed Preston, who they visit next on Saturday, 27 June, while Leeds remain level with leaders West Bromwich Albion, seven points ahead of third-placed Fulham. The contest between these two promotion-chasers began at a frenetic pace; far in excess of the tempo we have seen in most of the Premier League matches since football resumed after the coronavirus pandemic halted the campaign.
The key points from today's top-flight meeting of all 20 clubs are: Premier League clubs unanimously agreed to consult their players regarding a combination of conditional reductions and deferrals amounting to 30 per cent of total annual remuneration. The league unanimously voted to advance funds of £125 million to the EFL and National League.
It was always a strong fight, but fair. They always respected each other massively at the track because they knew how good the other was. There was nothing, no pushing or just breaking the front wing, nothing. There was just two gladiators fighting bravely at the race track. So I have no bad memories about that.
The other problem for the visitors is their bad record on the road. Preston have lost six of their 10 trips this term, with the visitors going down in each of their last three away games. Alex Neil’s men come into this one with one of the worst away records in the league. With 78% of their points this term coming at home, Preston could be found out here.
In Saturday's early kick-off at St James' Park, Jonjo Shelvey's emphatic late strike earned Newcastle a 2-2 draw against Pep Guardiola's City. Kevin de Bruyne's equally brilliant 82nd-minute hit appeared to have salvaged victory after Jetro Willems had cancelled out Raheem Sterling's opener, but Shelvey's equaliser sees Manchester City move above Leicester to second on goals scored. The Foxes can reduce Liverpool's lead to eight points when they host Everton on Sunday (16:30 GMT).
Everton were turned over 1-0 at Anfield in their FA Cup Merseyside Derby by a Liverpool team largely made up of fringe and reserve team players, and the manner of their second half performance is certain to have made a large dent in their self-belief.
Walter has made another underscore in the competition when won with the minimal result in Ocotal. They have scored once, and held the rival away, waiting to claim a three points. They are in good shape, and should be favorite here against Deportivo Las Sabanas.
Nonetheless, consecutive defeats against Atletico Madrid (2-0) and Real Sociedad (3-4) concluded a difficult end to 2019 for Los Rojillos, who have now won just one of their last six La Liga matches (W1, D2 and L3).

Isloch will against Belshina in match Belarusian Premier League. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals due to Isloch on last 3 match in league can make total score is 4 goals. Meanwhile, Belshina on last 3 match in league can make total score is 3 goals. Therefore, I think this match can be the end score is more than 2 goals. Moreover Isloch always can make score on last 5 match in the home. Meanwhile, Belshina also can make score on last 2 away match. Therefore, this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals.
Everton are in great shape at the moment and we’re expecting them to take the points here. They face a team that have conceded almost two goals per game on average and the visitors have scored exactly two goals in three of their last six Premier League away games. Backing a 2-1 win for the visitors is our choice for the correct score prediction.
Marcelo Brozovic's fine volley from the edge of the box gave Antonio Conte's side a platform on which to build and two minutes later Alexis Sanchez laid on Matias Vecino's equaliser. Stefan de Vrij ensured the turnaround was complete in the 70th-minute with a fine header and Romelu Lukaku added the gloss with a stoppage-time goal, his 17th of the season, sparking wild celebrations at the San Siro, after substitute Christian Eriksen had struck the woodwork with an unbelievable free-kick.
He was a key part of Arsenal’s early success under Wenger, an Invicible from the 2003-04 season, and perhaps forgotten recipient of the 2001-02 Premier League Player of the Season. The Swede remembers the good times at Arsenal and will be desperate to bring them back. However, and there must be a however, one can only wonder whether Solskjaer’s appointment will serve as a cautionary tale to the powers that be at Arsenal.
In almost every statistic, Exeter City seem to have the edge in this fixture. They are stronger at home than Cambridge are away, they have scored more and conceded less, and they come into this match in excellent form while their visitors have struggled. It is hard to imagine anything other than a comfortable home win in this fixture and backing them to get the three points is exactly where we are placing out trust.
After reaching the play-off final last season, Newport County were hoping to piece together another promotion push this season but things haven't quite gone to plan, with the side stationed in 13th place.

Wednesday night's match was initially scheduled to take place at the end of October but was postponed due to political demonstrations in Barcelona. Zinedine ZidaneGetty Images " I'm not worried about the Clasico. I'm happy to be able to play a game like that. We know that we face a great team and that they have Messi, but we also have our weapons," he said in his pre-match press conference.
Salzburg is practically already a champion in the league, since LASK is hard to get it close to them at the table in the next games. They will go for the win against Hartberg, but their rival is one of rare teams that manage to avoid to be defeated in duel with the Champion.
Middlesbrough have lost their last three league games without scoring. Nottingham Forest have only lost one of their last six away league fixtures. Middlesbrough have gone 11 games without a win. Middlesbrough have no wins in their last 11 league and cup games. They have slipped to 21st in the table and face another tough game as they host Nottingham Forest who are fourth.
As the cross went in though VAR shows him to be just offside and it's chalked off. OFF THE POST! A high foot from Fernandes gives Chelsea a free-kick on the right of the United area. Reece James steps over it and Mount whips a shot to the near post, which the ball smacks into before rebounding out of the area.
PSG is still the same. PSG has received a large investment of Arab billionaires, but they have not been able to reach the stature of a big team in Europe. This is clearly shown by the frequent failure of PSG when entering the big battles in the Champions League. PSG have not passed the quarter-finals since they were acquired by Qatar billionaires in 2011. They have even been eliminated from the 1/8 round in the last 3 seasons. The possibility of PSG passing the 1/8 Champions League round is still too large. They lost to Dortmund in the first leg with a score of 1-2. This is not too big a gap, They will be determined to win this match.
Brescia are better than their league position suggests and we wouldn't be surprised to see them giving Inter a scare. Ultimately, we see the home side overcoming their challenge and getting the win. Back Inter and over 2.5 goals.

After suffering relegation from League 1 last term and coming into the season with a strong squad on paper, Plymouth were pencilled in as promotion favourites before the campaign began. Just 3 points behind the automatic promotion spots with a game in hand, the hosts are certainly in the mix and will want to kick on in the second half of the season.
This club has a proud track record of anti-racism work across all our communities and we are determined to ensure that we conduct a thorough investigation," the club added. At this time however we should point out that our findings are inconclusive and would ask that comment is reserved until the facts are established.

Wolves are on their best unbeaten run in the top flight since 1972 after seeing off West Ham with strikes from Leander Dendoncker and Patrick Cutrone at Molineux. Nuno Espirito Santo's side are back up to fifth in the Premier League after the Hammers failed to reproduce the kind of display that helped them to a shock win against Chelsea.
With the game just four minutes old, the Hammers fired the ball to Antonio straight from the back. It was played wide to Jarrod Bowen, who delivered the cross for the lone striker to fire his second goal in as many games into the roof of the net, after Lascelles failed to clear the danger. The second goal was equally reliant on instinct as Soucek reacted quickest to smash the rebound past Dubravka after Declan Rice's powerful header clattered off the crossbar from a corner.
Only players who have been tested negatively twice in succession are allowed to train and play. Last week, chancellor Angela Merkel said that any decision on if and when sports activities could resume would now be taken on Wednesday, 6 May. The league has been suspended since mid-March because of the global coronavirus pandemic. It is absolutely necessary that we remain disciplined and stick to health guidelines," said Merkel.
Meanwhile, Harris has already boosted Cardiff, with their solid 2-2 draw at a Charlton side who have been pushing for the top six at stages this term. Their away record led to the dismissal of Neil Warnock, with the former Millwall boss brought it to try and liven up the Bluebirds.
