Rodgers, who left Scottish side Celtic to take charge at Leicester in February, has overseen a change in fortunes at the club who now sit second in the league standings with the best defensive record, having conceded only nine goals. The Northern Irishman was linked with the Arsenal job after they sacked Unai Emery last month and created a stir when he said there was a "release clause" in his contract.
This deal seems to be about buying something. But there is a wider picture. Saudi Arabia shows the world its face of reform. But it has another face where the reality is far from what is shown to the world. This is why we want this (deal) to be stopped and not be completed. What do we know about the takeover?Mike Ashley has owned Newcastle since 2007 and put the club up for sale in 2017. The proposed Saudi takeover is thought to be worth some £300 million.
There has also been scrutiny of the ethics of the procedure, given other British athletes were not offered the same and Dr Chakraverty told colleagues at the time it "goes against policies" and there was "an extremely strong argument not to do this now". UKA head of endurance Barry Fudge travelled to Switzerland to collect the supplement, and BBC Panorama recently revealed that the L-carnitine used had not been "batch-tested", as is recommended by UK Anti-Doping (Ukad).
I spoke to the manager last night and he told me there were 50,000 fans here at the weekend against Oxford. You can’t go wrong with that kind of passion and support from the fans, and it’s something I’m looking forward to. Manager Steve Bruce added: “It’s been clear that we’ve needed some help in the left back position, so we’re absolutely delighted to get a player of Danny’s calibre through the door.

You are constantly sprinting. It makes you wonder how unfit Arsenal were under former boss Unai Emery? That's a worry. And while you can see that their fitness levels have dramatically improved since Arteta came in last month, to be able to play the way he wants, they will need time to get even fitter. The two sides meet again at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, when I'll be doing co-commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live, and it will be interesting to see their progress.

As it gears up for a new season starting next week, many fans will be relieved to know it again will refrain from using the virtual offside line that has been particularly controversial in the English Premier League (EPL) this season. Many goals in the EPL have been ruled out due to the attacking player being offside by the tiniest of margins, and it is perhaps a blessing in disguise that MLS does not yet have enough cameras to implement a virtual offside line.
Strong words from West Ham's Snodgrass 11:45 - Team GB confirm first batch of athletes who had qualified for Tokyo 2020 retain selection for 2021 The British Olympic Association (BOA) and British Canoeing have today confirmed that the five canoeing athletes already nominated for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will remain as selected to represent Team GB at the rescheduled Tokyo Olympic Games in July- August 2021.
We’re confident that Porto will win-to-nil on Monday night and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0.

I think this odds are more than excellent and of course, this will be my option for this bet - plenty of goals, or over 2,75. So, let's start from the home team and that is Granite, team who was very efficient in last period and I believe that they will continue that way and this time. 4-1, 1-2 and 2-2, they are played in last three matches, one in league, and two friendly games, and same can be said and for their rival today - Arsenal. Yes, this will be match who will be very efficient and with at least three goals.
Paper Round's view: It's all well and good planning to postpone this summer's European Championships, but UEFA need to make their minds up. All football is beginning to be suspended around the continent (except in England) so it would make sense to delay the tournament, which is supposed to start in June.

Leicester City are clear favorites here; they will be playing at home against a really weak side and one that has not been so good away from home. Leicester have three wins in the last five meetings with Aston Villa, and are unbeaten in the last three meetings. They don’t just have a good run over Villa, they are also superior in other aspects. Leicester have scored two or more goals in 12 of the last 15 matches, while Aston Villa have conceded two or more in 10 of the last 15. They have also conceded two or more in 10 of the last 14 away matches. Villa have however, scored in 12 of the last 15 matches and though Leicester will be keen on giving all in the first leg, we will give Villa a shot here as well. A 3-1 win for Leicester City is good pick here.
Che Adams scored twice after John Lundstram's opener for Chris Wilder's side, who finished ninth following an excellent first campaign back in the English top flight. Burnley's Nick Pope had hoped to secure at least a share of the Golden Glove with Ederson, but his chances of a 16th league clean sheet of the season were ended after 20 minutes against Brighton, by Yves Bissouma's excellent long-range strike.
If you look at the characteristics of Arsene Wenger's Arsenal side that Freddie and I played in, then it seems that is the way he wants his team to play football too. In possession, they were certainly a lot better than they have been recently. But if you concede space, and you don't compete for the ball or get close to the opposition players, then you don't win football matches. That is what happened to Arsenal at Carrow Road.
Guarani have the advantage going to this game; they are playing at home and with a 1-0 lead in the tie. They have a good run at home and had their weekend match postponed so they have more time to prepare. They have scored 11 in their last four home matches in Copa Libertadores and will be facing a side that hasn’t been scoring a lot lately. While Palestino have not scored a lot lately, they are also not conceding lots of goals. Palestino’s away form will further place them as underdogs here and we are backing this to end in a 1-0 win for Guarani.

Toulouse is sinking at the bottom of the rankings with a very bad performance now, after 26 rounds, they have only won 13 points and ranked bottom of the league in France. Toulouse has the worst defense this season, after 26 rounds they conceded 54 goals (the highest in the league) and scored only 21 goals. Toulouse must welcome Rennes at home, this will be difficult for them. Perhaps up to now, many Rennes fans do not think their team is flying so high. Finish the 2018 season with 10th place. But now their rankings are in the top 3 strongest teams. A record of 13 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses shows that.
Finally, they’re beginning to stretch the table, too; now seven points clear of third placed Fulham and ten clear of fourth placed Nottingham Forest, until now only Leeds United - the only side to topple the Baggies this term - have managed to keep pace with them. Their searing run of form culminated in a 1-0 win at Preston in dramatic circumstances on Monday night, and now attentions swiftly turn to Swansea City.
It was a day that meant the world to one man, but in the end counted for little to an entire nation. Thirty nine years ago today, Willie Miller had his defining moment in a Scotland shirt. With just a handful of caps to his name, he stepped into a three-lioned den of Wembley and emerged with a Home Championship victory and a growing reputation. It was the game that the former Aberdeen captain insists put him on the international map.
However, Jamie Hamilton's red card changed the game, with Odsonne Edouard levelling from the resulting free-kick. Accies defended bravely but late goals from Christopher Jullien, Edouard and James Forrest left them bottom. Head coach Brian Rice, serving the first game of his touchline ban for gambling breaches, watched from the stand as defeat leaves his side behind 11th-place Hearts on goal difference.
The ball had barely nestled in the net when the soundtrack to Leeds' recent collapses rang out among the home fans. Leeds are falling apart', they crowed, delighting in their opponents' misery. The blow of Casilla's blunder was softened by an error from Brentford keeper David Raya which allowed Liam Cooper to equalise, but the draw was not what Leeds needed after last week's 2-0 loss at Nottingham Forest.

Moyes sees the former Rangers youth player as a throwback to Scottish talent of previous eras, and joked about a swap deal if Chelsea try to buy West Ham's own midfield asset. Speaking to BBC Scotland's Scottish football podcast, Moyes said: "He's typical of what my memories are of what Scottish players were like going back many, many years. We were always good players, really talented football players, and at the moment Billy Gilmour in the short period I've seen him has looked like that all day long.
Sheffield United will against AFC Bournemouth in match England Premier League. My prediction this match could be the win for Sheffield United with margin score is 2 goals. Sheffield United have good result on last 5 match due to Sheffield United have won in 3 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Bournemouth have not good result on last 5 match due to Bournemouth only have won in 2 match and 3 match is lose. Therefore, I'm predict that Sheffield United can defeat Bournemouth on this match due to Sheffield United have good defense and great attacking. Surely Sheffield United have more chance to win on this match.
