City have 38 points from 18 games having played one match more than Juergen Klopp's side, who won the Club World Cup in Doha on Saturday. When a team has 16 (league) victories from 17, it's unrealistic to think we're going to chase them," he added. It's unrealistic right now. We have to try to win our games, secure Champions League for next season and then you never know.
The match was one of five Serie A games which were allowed to go ahead with spectators between Feb. March 2 by the Italian government but Liguria head Giovanni Toti said he did not want to take any unnecessary risks.

He is the top scorer in Europe's top five leagues, with his nearest competitor 10 goals behind. He said after this week's quadruple he is "addicted to scoring goals" - and now the 31-year-old will have his eye on Lionel Messi's record for most goals in a single season. Could Lewandowski break Messi's record?It is not even December and Lewandowski is well on his way to beating his previous best in a single season - the 43 he managed for Bayern in 2016-17.

It was a monumental night in the Scottish Premiership - one that will perhaps be looked back upon as the night Celtic sealed their ninth league title in a row. While Neil Lennon's side posted their eighth consecutive win since January's winter break, Rangers slumped to their second defeat in a little over two weeks, this time at the hands of a resurgent Kilmarnock. Here's what we took away from the midweek fixtures.
Plans to resume the Premier League season will step up this week in what has been labelled "Project Restart" with some clubs returning to training on Monday. Ridsdale said that EFL clubs have been told to "potentially" prepare for a return to training on 16 May but believes it may be a struggle for some clubs to survive if football finances are not more evenly shared. I'm not suggesting that the Premier League give up all their riches, I'm saying merely a smoother distribution to make sure the game as a whole - which is very important throughout the whole country - and all clubs survive," he said.
However, the Prestonfield outfit will return to home soil for the first time since the end of September. The club has done well in their home ties, losing just once in their last 21 games there.

Caala is getting a safe ranking on the standings and their goal is only 9 points in the remaining 6 rounds that are officially relegated in the league. In detail, Caala is currently ranked 10th in the Angola league table with 27 points, 10 points higher than the team in the dangerous position.
Contrary to some press reports the PFA has never stated that it will block all wage deferrals," said the PFA in a statement. Instead, it had sought "a structured and unified approach to ensure a fair response across the leagues. It said that a meeting with the Premier League and the English Football League - consisting of the lower divisions - in March agreed to protect players' salaries for that month and talks about possible cuts in April were ongoing.
Asked by reporters if he was surprised at Guardiola's comments, with the Premier League champions 11 points behind leaders Liverpool after 14 games, the German said it was news to him. I'm only hearing this now for the first time. Am I surprised? No. But it's not important," he said ahead of Wednesday's Merseyside derby with Everton.
Crystal Palace have done well in recent matches against Burnley, but they head to this one as the underdogs. Burnley are on the rise and after the two big wins ahead of this game, they will be further motivated by the fact they are playing at home. Palace are winless in five matches, losing four and without a clean sheet away from home in six matches. Burnley on their side, have three wins in four at home and have improved defensively. This fixture doesn’t produce a lot of draws so we won’t bet on that. We will go for a Burnley win here.
If you want to take something you cannot give such simple goals. The opponent had showed that they want to fight for everything and we didn't seem to be serious enough. We are only a winning team if we defend like they did today, and that was the big difference today. Hasenhuttl added that the players "have a problem" if they think they are already safe from relegation. We can't act like he's the saviour' Jarrod Bowen scored his first goal since signing for £18m for Hull City on January transfer deadline dayThe win was just West Ham's second since David Moyes returned to the club on 30 December for this second spell as manager.
Despite reaching the Carabao Cup final, they have struggled to adapt and are in grave danger of making an immediate return to the Championship. Boss Dean Smith has to make sure his side are in with a chance of staying up by the time they visit West Ham on the final day. Former Aston Villa and England forward Emile Heskey, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "It's very difficult for Villa to turn it around, even in that relegation battle where it seems no-one wants to pull away.

Taoyuan International will host Taipei Bear for the Mulan Football League Women. In my opinion, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Taipei Bear are more ambitious team in this new campaign. Taipei Bear are currently on the 1st position with 7 points. I think, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium. In any case, they will try to remain unbeaten. Also, we have Taoyuan W who's is very average team in this league. I think, the hosts will try to provide a strong resistance. However, this will not be an easy job. Maybe this is - draw.
Lampard said he "would look at all areas" but it is further forward he is more concerned about. Tammy Abraham is Chelsea's top scorer with 13 goals this season - but may not have even got in the team had the club been allowed to sign players in the summerHe added: "We have found a way in the team where we can still be competitive in the league and the Champions League and going forward you ask 'can we get even better in forward areas to help us to be more clinical?' We would always look at that.
This is new duel where I will bet on goals and that is pretty good option. So, this is league where new season is started, as I remember, two weeks ago, and I hope that they will be on level like they are played in last season. When I said that, I mean on fact that Ahal and their today's rival - Altyn Asyr are rivals who are playing all the time efficient and with plenty of goals and probably they will continue and this time on that level. In last two matches, this rivals are played 2-1 and 3-1, so over is real.
Ernesto Valverde’s men have kept clean sheets in 30% of their away games in the league and have won-to-nil in 30% of their games on the road this season, and the Catalonians have only failed to score in 20% of games away from home. Atletico Madrid have a god defensive record both home and away, as touched upon above, but have failed to score in 33% of their away games which will be a concern for Simeone’s men.
FCSB lost in a long time in the league on the road in their first game after the winter break but it was an expected defeat on their still they conceded quite late away at league leaders from CFR Cluj near the 80 minute of the game and it was a defender Vinicius who scored the winning goal for CFR Cluj in that one. Smaller fish for FCSB this time as Voluntari is bottom of the league with just 11 points, they are stress free, any points they win do help the side in their quest for avoiding relegation, they know they are likely to lose.
Shearer came to Blackburn because he wanted to play for him, Sutton wanted to play for him. Ray, as well as being a very good coach, was a bit of a court jester. He used to walk down the training ground corridor singing 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life'. Blackburn were eight points off the top at one stageAtkins: "We had a lot of fun under Kenny and Ray. Kenny was good at being one of the lads during the week.
Twenty-ninth round of the Turkish football super league, and in this match the Besiktas team that is in fifth position will face Konyaspor that is in the sixteenth position and needs a lot of victory to get out of the relegation zone.
Tondela concede an average of 0/83 goals per away game which is below the league average of 1.44 and have scored first in four of their five home games, so if the hosts score first on Saturday you would expect them to go on and win the game.

Not just the players but other people employed through professional football - our industry employs hundreds of thousands. There is the potential for it to turn ugly very quickly… If we don't respond quickly in terms of stabilising the cash flow we could see mass redundancies and mass lay-offs of players and other staff within weeks.
But it's something where you need to manage your time because it's very addictive. You see some players taking a break from it because it can get a lot. You will get good and bad messages however well you are doing. Former commentator and now sports psychotherapist Gary Bloom said social media was something players "crave and hate". Bloom is employed by Oxford United and also works with a number of professional players in the game.

Wolves and Sheffield United are fighting for the top four, (the managers) they can say no, and I understand if they say no but the reality is that they are," Mourinho said. Not just because of the position that they are in the table, but because of the power and quality. If Saturday's match represents a chance for Tottenham, who have 20 points fewer than at the same stage last season, to advance their top-four claims, Villa know a win would give them some precious breathing space in the relegation scrap.
