It will be strange going to Anfield as champions for our next home game, against Aston Villa on 5 July, and not seeing anyone. Can you imagine the kind of welcome the team would have got when they walked out on the pitch?I was there for the win against Crystal Palace behind closed doors on Wednesday and there was none of that - I really missed the 'whoosh' you normally get when the team walks out at Anfield.

I was standing up at the front with the marker pen and hands started to go up. Cech, Lampard, Terry, Drogba. All of a sudden we had defensive points and offensive points and he said: 'That's it. That is what we are going to do. Off you go and do it. He gave real ownership to the players and we won the game to become double winners. In the 2014 Champions League final with Real Madrid, we were playing Atletico Madrid, a great rival, in Lisbon and we were 1-0 down at half-time.
Fans got together to raise the money to pay Bentley's fine and presented him with the money after a win over Notts County. Bentley, who spent 17 years at the Lancashire club as player and then manager before leaving in October 2019, was overcome with emotion at the gesture. Two Cheltenham fans' groups raised the £500 required to produce their tribute flag in five hoursThe world of football was shocked in June 2019 when Leyton Orient boss Justin Edinburgh died at the age of 49, five days after suffering a cardiac arrest.
A Reds side missing top scorer Lewis Grabban, one of five changes from the team that so impressed in dismantling Leeds United at the City Ground on Saturday, struggled to find their attacking fluency despite the best efforts of Tiago Silva and the ever-busy Joe Lolley. Silva twice went close before the break while Sarr very nearly put through his own net with a sliced clearance that hit the top of the bar.
Only seven defenders have recorded more Premier League assists than Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta (31), with the Spaniard equalling his record for assists in a single campaign in the competition (6 - also 2017-18). After failing to score with his last 63 shots in the Premier League, Ross Barkley has scored his first goal since netting against Burnley in October 2018. Chelsea midfielder Barkley has been directly involved in eight goals in his last 10 starts in all competitions (three goals, five assists).
Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has come under scrutiny again after his errors contributed to his side's FA Cup semi-final defeat by Chelsea. The Spain international, 29, has made several high-profile mistakes in recent seasons, a far cry from when he was considered the best keeper in the Premier League and an ever dependable last line of defence for United. He's unrecognisable from the keeper who won four player of the year awards," said former United defender Phil Neville.

BATE lost both of their opening two league games, both were away from home and both teams got on the scoresheet in each game. They finally got off the mark with a 1-0 home win over newly-promoted Rukh Brest. Another loss came in midweek though when they lost 1-0 at Slavia Mozyr (who also beat them in the league) in the first leg of their Belarus Cup semi-final.
Burnley had been on a poor run that saw them edge close to a relegation battle. They had lost four league games in a row before getting a shock home win over Leicester City. Their return to form continued and they come into this game with three wins and a draw (against Arsenal) in their last four league fixtures.
Ed Woodward now wants to develop stars rather that splash out for them in the transfer market. Luis CamposGetty Images Paper Round’s view: With Manchester United struggling to increase their sponsorship deals by much, margins elsewhere are under pressure. In order to save money then United could move down the pecking order and pick up players who are yet to hit their potential.
Is he not the perfect person to speak out, though? The idea that he should be “influential in football but not in politics” would be wrong even if Klopp never spoke about things away from football, but he has done and indeed does. Perhaps he’s right that anything he says in a pre-game press conference would simply create a headline, but is that not a headline that we need? Who better than the most high-profile manager – and probably the most high-profile person full-stop – involved in the competition to highlight the obvious concerns about merrily playing football in a country like Qatar? Presumably Klopp wanted to keep the focus as much as possible on the football, as he prepares Liverpool to face Monterrey on Wednesday evening, but his response feels inadequate.
Defeat in both upcoming games could well see Alaves sucked into the relegation dogfight, but their home form this season suggests they can hit back on Matchday 17. Babazorros have only lost to Real and Sevilla at Mendizorroza where they have won four from eight this term, whilst also picking up a decent 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid on Matchday 11.
Their journey to the quarter-finals was not a shared nationwide experience like the odyssey to the Euro 2016 semi-finals. From 1958, Wales' football story became one of anguish: Joe Jordan's handball in 1977, Paul Bodin's penalty miss in 1993 and the play-off loss to Russia 10 years later. History's pain bound a footballing nation together, fuel for hopes - however fanciful they may have seemed after losses to Georgia and Moldova - that they would one day emulate the class of 1958.
The latest conversations are centring around a 32-team league in which each club plays 10 matches against 10 different opponents, with eight teams automatically qualifying for the knockout stages and another 16 going into the play-offs and a chance to join them. No firm proposals are in place and sources close to the situation have said there is no rush to reach a conclusion given the organisation's next General Assembly is not until March 2020.
Howe, then 31 and with no previous managerial experience, had the task of keeping them in the league - and saving the club from extinction. An emotional win in their last home game of 2008-09 against Grimsby kept Bournemouth in the division and started an incredible story still going strong 11 years later. Promotion to the third tier followed, then, after a 21-month spell in charge of Burnley, Howe returned and two more promotions in three years took Bournemouth to the elite for the first time, with this season proving a rare blip.
Attacking star Ignacio Piatti scored in all four of those wins but Orlando no longer have to worry about the Argentine forward being a thorn in their side as he has moved back to his homeland. Montreal are now being coached by a legendary forward in the form of Thierry Henry but lack sharpshooters in their squad.

Kean is a player we tried to sign when I was at Napoli but he chose Everton. He has fantastic quality and I'm sure he'll be a top talent but he's 19 and everything is new for him here. Italian Ancelotti will take charge of 15th-placed Everton for the first time against Burnley, who are 10th, on Thursday.
The first game between the clubs ended in a thrilling draw as the League One side fought back from 3-0 down. In a post on Twitter, Tranmere said: "The ground staff have worked tirelessly over the past few days in an attempt to get the game on but were unfortunately beaten by the weather. Tranmere had earlier said a normal pre-match pitch inspection was due at 18:30 GMT, but with more heavy rain falling the game was called off around 13:30 GMT.
My reasons for going for number of goals bet: Charlton Athletic have conceded in their last 13 championship games. It has been both team to score in 75% of Charlton Athletic Away games. Also the visitors have witness over 2.5 in 12 of their 15 matches.
But that was to be the zenith of The Entertainers. On the morning of 6 January, 1997, a meeting was called at Newcastle's training ground. The players had heard the rumours, but they didn't want to believe them. Terry McDermott and coach Arthur Cox gathered the squad and informed them Keegan had resigned.

Pearson won three of his opening four league matches before the Hornets moved out of the relegation zone in late February with a 3-0 win over champions-elect Liverpool.

Aston Villa manager Dean Smith says his team's season "will not be defined" by their results against Manchester City and Liverpool. Villa's 6-1 home defeat by City was their worst result since 2016. It leaves them in the bottom three on 21 points, a point behind Watford and West Ham, with a worse goal difference than both. Two of the sides below us were playing each other and with us against Man City, you didn't need to be a betting expert to see we would be in the bottom three today," said Smith.
All things considered, we like the look of backing River on the -1 handicap here and feel it's the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned. River have won 7 of their last 10 Copa Argentina ties by more than a single goal and that's a streak that could well continue via a 3-1 margin of victory.
Golf. Madrid’ flag fiasco going down badly with Madrid chiefs. The club and fans still see the Welshman in their plans for the season and claim that situation around their player is media nonsense.

US Soccer said in a statement that it was working on alternative arrangements for the training camp.

While they are stronger at home than they are away, Newcastle have only picked up one victory from their last six home matches.
