They do not have a single first-team regular past their peak. The only other top-10 club who can say the same is Manchester United. Given Liverpool's planning pedigree, however, the champions-elect could look to replace one of those nine with a star for the future, to avoid letting them all grow old together and the need for mass replacements in a few years' time. By way of warning, they may look to Sir Alex Ferguson's final title triumph in 2013, when he guided Manchester United to top-flight success but left an ageing squad who were unable to match that achievement in subsequent years.

Southampton said that players, coaches and the board of directors deferring their salary will "help protect the future of the club, the staff that work within it and the community we serve". Over the past few weeks, there has been considerable pressure on Premier League players, including from leading politicians, to take pay cuts. But Ward-Prowse, who has two England caps, said: "It was never about doing it quickly or facing any pressure, it was about making sure we made the right decision for the people and the community and we definitely have done that.
On the pitch he has seen off competition from the likes of Gonzalo Higuain and Alvaro Morata, while big-money summer signing Luka Jovic cannot get a look in, netting just once this campaign. Benzema, instead, continues to lead the Real line and is La Liga's top scorer with 10 goals this season; his total of 25 strikes in 2019 is bettered only by Messi in Spain. What makes Benzema so effective - and popular?A senior club source reportedly said in April, "they have been criticising him for 10 years and he is the best", while in September Benzema topped a Marca poll of most underrated players.

Such has been Liverpool’s dominance (Arsenal drew 12 matches in 2003-04 to Liverpool’s one so far) though, they have not required fortune to be on their on side in quite the same way. Their remaining fixtures also don’t look particularly daunting. Trips to Old Trafford and Emirates Stadium beckon, while Chelsea visit Anfield in the penultimate game of the season, but the only genuinely difficult outing looks like being the away trip to Manchester City on April 4.

Automatic promotion is looking unlikely so Brentford have to ensure they qualify for the play-offs. They are only three points above seventh place though, so they need to return to form. They have a good opportunity to do just that with this home game against Sheffield Wednesday. The visitors are struggling for form and need points themselves to resurrect their flagging promotion hopes. They are conceding far too many goals though and aren't that hot on the road. Go for Brentford to get a home victory.
Last 3 games between them from last season ended with both teams scoring, over 2.5 goals and also Pohang winning all 3 of those games as they won twice at home with Ulsan with 2-1 both times while last game between them they won 4-1 away from home. And it was one of the reasons why Ulsan did not get a Champions League place at the end of last season. Ulsan found themselves behind in their last 3 games played despite dominating all of them, they came from 2-0 behind at Suwon and won 3-2 in round 2.
But the report says restrictions on shirt sponsorship and other advertising "should not take effect for clubs below the Premier League before 2023. A similar flexibility should be allowed in the case of other sports". It added: "These restrictions should not apply to horseracing or greyhound racing. The report said removing betting sponsorship entirely would "not unduly harm Premier League clubs but it would very probably have a serious effect on smaller clubs.
Women are putting as much hard work in as the men do, and we are finally seeing it paying off and people appreciating it. It was mad really. For a while, all I wanted to be was a footballer but back then it was quite hard for women's football. There was still a struggle about whether it could be a career. There were quite a few players I looked up to, like Rachel Yankey - I remember meeting her at one of Arsenal's award ceremonies.

City have been ever-presents for the past nine seasons, something only Barca, Real, Bayern and Benfica can match. Now it is time to take the next step - and to do that they have to win it.

Paper Round’s view: The most important thing is that clubs, fans, players and staff are kept safe, but looking abroad to China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, it is clear that there are ways to return to a more routine way of life. That should allow the Premier League to get back underway, but it may feel impossible as Britain is on the cusp of a spike in cases.

Walter Ferretti U20 will against Las Sabanas U20 in match Nicaragua Youth. My prediction this match could be the win for Walter Ferretti U20 with margin score is 3 goals. Walter Ferreti have better result on last 3 match due to Walter Ferretti U20 have won in 1 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Las Sabanas U20 have not good result on last 3 match due to Las Sabanas U20 only have draw in 1 match and 2 match is lose. Therefore, my prediction that Walter Ferretti U20 can beat Las Sabanas U20 due to Walter Ferretti more strong and have better rank in league.
BURNLEY, England, April 9 (Reuters) - Alastair Campbell, the former press chief of ex-British Prime Minister Tony Blair, says criticism of footballers has been unfair during the coronavirus pandemic, but the game's leaders needed to chart a better way of handling the crisis. As well as being a recognised leader in communication strategy, Campbell is a huge football fan and a life-long follower of Premier League club Burnley.
Nine-man AS Monaco lost 3-1 at Nimes after taking the lead before Tiemoue Bakayoko and Gelson Martins were sent off in the first half, the latter for pushing referee Mikael Lesage. At the Parc des Princes, Sarabia put PSG ahead against Montpellier after eight minutes when he curled a fine shot into the top corner.
Real Madrid have dropped back to 2nd place after Barcelona won yesterday with 1-0 at home with Bilbao, but with a win here they would get equal on points with them and they do have a better H2H record as in fact if they win the remainder of the 8 games to be played in the league they for sure will win the title this season, and such games like against a really modest Mallorca side they really should have no problems in winning them.
Luton is for me the weakest club in the second league level in England and for sure a main candidate for relegation already being bottom in the league, they are not even winning games at home lately while away from home they are a pure disaster with a record of 2-0-12 this season they conceded no less than 36 goals in those away games, and I watched them have the lead at half-time away at a decent Millwall side but they ended up easily losing the game with 3-1 in the end.
Mason Mount would have been in contention for England's squad at the European Championship this summer Separated from the English Channel by the Havant Bypass, the Farlington Playing Fields are a bustling hub of Portsmouth's local amateur and youth football at weekends, comprising 10 full-size pitches, cricket wickets in summer and a pavilion to the north-east corner. It was here that Tony Mount, at the request of the boy's parents, would conduct one-on-one training sessions with future Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse.
Salah opened the scoring on four minutes, capitalising on a slip from United defender George Baldock. Mane tapped in from close range on 64 minutes after his original effort had been saved to secure a victory that marked Liverpool being unbeaten in the top flight for a year. Jurgen Klopp’s side have 58 points from 20 games, while Sheffield United sit eighth, seven points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
What can we expect this time? Well, at the very least it’s interesting that City have been experimenting with a different formation recently, a three-at-the-back system which seems ostensibly designed to stop a counter-attack, which is how United won that game a few weeks ago. Has Pep Guardiola really altered his entire side in order to prevent a repeast of that embarrassment? Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is, in the general collective consciousness, not a tactical genius, but he does occasionally pull these things out of the bag.
Mihajlovic was welcomed back by team captain Blerim Dzemaili. It's an understatement to say we've missed you. We'll try to make you happy and thank you for coming back to us," he said. But, when he saw other players in the room, Mihajlovic could not resist a jibe. They'll do anything to avoid training," he said.
The visitors have had a tough season, but claiming their first victory on the toad last weekend was a huge moment. They caught out a Millwall side who hadn’t lost in seven to take three points back to Oakwell. Now Barnsley are hoping for another big result on their travels, as they try to catch out a Swansea side who have lost five of their last nine at home.
