A doctor who worked for Manchester City and Bury has been charged by the Football Association with an anti-doping rule violation. Dr Andrew Johnson has been accused of providing fraudulent information about a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) when working as club doctor for Bury last year. An application he made on behalf of an unnamed player to use a banned substance - understood to be testosterone - on medical grounds was dated December 2018.
They have four clean sheets in the last 10 matches but none in the last three, and they have scored in seven of the last 10 matches. They have one win in the last four home matches and five wins in 10 at home. It has not been a smooth ride for them lately, and they have not scored more than a goal in the last seven home matches.
For instance, some top clubs privately do not see the need to cut their players' pay at all. The PFA's clear preference is for a wage deferral rather than any actual cuts. It insists that players are fully aware of the scale of the crisis and want to help, hence the charitable fund that Jordan Henderson is trying to establish with his fellow club captains. The clubs are understood to be proposing that players take a 10% cut to cover the loss of matchday revenue they will suffer if the season resumes behind closed doors.
POOR FORM Chelsea's poor form continued with goals from Michael Obafemi and Nathan Redmond earned Southampton a surprise victory at Stamford Bridge and condemned Frank Lampard's side to their fifth defeat in seven league games. Obafemi broke the deadlock with his first goal of the season, bursting inside from the right and curling into the top corner after a tight opening half hour.
In a match between two sides at the top of the division, it is frequently about which team is able to execute their game plan best. The goalscoring form of the visitors means that they come into this match knowing they have the strength to hurt any side in the league and the hosts know that they more than likely have to score more than once if they are to claim the three points. With this in mind, we think that backing there to be over 2.5 goals scored represents the best opportunity for a decent return.
Quite a risky bet but at 1,80 is too good to say no for those under 2,5 goals. Suwon matches normally deliver plenty of goals and both matches at Ansan Greeners' last year finished over 2,5 goals, nevertheless these two teams are pretty balanced, despite Suwon plays more open. I think this time around we will see a lower score. Last Ansan's match was 0 x 1 in a lucky win away against Anyang, so I'm sure they will not want to go for Suwon's open game bait. Suwon comes from a fair defeat at home and will not want to lose more points.

Santos vs Flamengo predictions for Sunday's Brazilian Serie A action. Santos will be looking to get the better of a somewhat distracted visiting side. Read on for all our free Brazilian Serie A predictions and betting tips.
We’re also going for a 3-1 correct score prediction – Klopp’s men have played out three separate 3-1 victories at home this term and have averaged 2.89 goals per game at Anfield, and they’re facing a Wolves side that have scored an average of 1.44 goals per game on the road.
It would only be "fair" to award Liverpool the Premier League title if the season is not completed because of coronavirus, says Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan. With football in England suspended until at least 30 April, Liverpool have a 25-point lead over defending champions City and are two wins from a first top-flight title in 30 years. Asked if the Reds should be given the trophy if the season is cut short, Gudogan told German broadcaster ZDF: "For me, that would be OK, yes.
After 10 games and 1,400 miles, two friends from London had a dilemma when their quest to go to a game in every round of this season's FA Cup was thwarted by coronavirus. But not to be denied, they threw on a suit, flipped a toilet roll and played the conclusion out on Fifa. Jack Dormer, 25, and Alex Rowe, 24, started their journey on 10 August at Mayfield Stadium, home of Croydon Athletic - who play in the Southern Counties East League Premier Division - where they watched a 1-0 extra preliminary round victory over Virginia Water.
When it's all easy after Sunday's 2-0 win at Tottenham, we were the greatest thing in the world, they were the greatest players and I was a great manager. And today it's questioned. Paper Round’s view: It must have been a strange summer in the Chelsea boardroom, with no ringing phones, no cheques to sign and no angry emails from Roman Abramovich asking why they hadn’t signed Didier Drogba.
It was easy to think that this Sevilla side looked set to replicate the inconsistent and often toothless version that we witnessed during the last campaign after they lost three La Liga games from four in late September / early October, however they have gelled together superbly over the past two months and answered their critics in style.
Despite the grumblings of the English Football League, who advised their champions Chelsea not to take part, the tournament quickly gained momentum. Scotland's Hibernian received no such "advice", and so in mid-October 1955 their draw with Germany's Rot-Weiss Essen was the first European Cup match to be played in Britain. Soon one tournament was not enough. In 1961 the Cup Winners' Cup burst into life and another, the previously ad-hoc Inter Cities Fairs Cup, became a properly administered annual competition.
The statement said that between 2013 and 2015 Valcke exploited his FIFA role "to influence the award of media rights" for various World Cup and Confederations Cup tournaments "to favour media partners that he preferred". Valcke also received "undue advantages" from the two co-accused relating to the use of a villa in Sardinia, it said.
Odds have gone up on the over 2.5 goals bet here and I really cannot think of a good enough reason as the hosts played in the Croatian Cup recently with Lokomotiva Zagreb at home and ended up losing the encounter with no less than 3-1 and believe me when I tell you that Gorica is just as good in attack and capable of scoring 3 goals all by themselves here as they played 3 recent friendly games scoring 10 goals and conceding 5 times, so 15 goals in 3 friendly games an average of 5 goals per game played.
With Everton's goalscoring problems still apparent and their confidence almost certainly sapped by their 1-0 loss against an understrength Liverpool team, we think Brighton can capitalise on a favourable set of circumstances this weekend.
This exposes the crazy economics in English football and the moral vacuum at its centre. GREATEST BURDEN Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said top players should be the ones who make the sacrifices. It should be those with the broadest shoulders who go first because they can carry the greatest burden and have probably got savings, rather than those who were in catering or hospitality who have probably got no savings and live week by week and who probably won’t get the (government) benefits for five weeks," he told the BBC.
Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui hopes fans stay away from the ground for Thursday's Seville derby with Real Betis as La Liga returns to action. Third-placed Sevilla host city rivals Betis, in 12th, in the first game in Spain's top-flight since 10 March because of the coronavirus pandemic. All remaining fixtures in the league will be played behind closed doors. I hope people do what law enforcement forces are telling them to do," said Lopetegui.
Former Manchester United, Newcastle and England striker Andrew Cole has opened up about his "daily grind" in shielding from the coronavirus pandemic. Cole is one of over a million people more vulnerable to the virus after having a kidney transplant in 2017. The 48-year-old told BBC Radio 5 Live that "no day comes easy" as he continues to self-isolate alone. It's a difficult period but it's just a case of getting your head down and doing what you can," he said.
Liverpool moved 22 points clear at the Premier League summit with a 4-0 victory over Southampton at Anfield.
