Derby did go on a run of clean sheets at home – which came during meetings with some of the league’s weakest sides – but the Rams haven’t been solid of late. The hosts have conceded in each of their last five games here, while they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in 81% of their Championship matches so far. That’s something Hull can capitalise on.
Stoke will be chasing vital points in Tuesday’s meeting, with this game potentially huge in the fight for survival. The hosts have lost their last three games, but they will believe that this home clash is a chance to turn things around.
On 6 March, Alessandro Favalli's life changed when he tested positive for coronavirus. The Reggio Audace defender would become the second Italian-based footballer to be confirmed as having the illness, after King Udoh of Pianese, another third-tier club. Italy, after China, has the second-highest number of cases of coronavirus in the world and second-most deaths related to the infectious disease. Favalli, 27, joined Reggio Audace in January and moved back to the north of the country, where he is from, where he could be closer to his family, something he now values even more.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he is "really happy to be back" to watch his "wonderful football team again" as they continue preparations for the Premier League's return on 17 June. Klopp's side are 25 points clear at the top of the table and chasing the club's first league title for 30 years. Players returned to contact training on 28 May but they will continue to be tested twice a week for coronavirus.

Yet his undying devotion to possession football began to alienate fans in the latter half of his second season as results dried up and Betis were thrashed by Leganes and Levante. At the team's lowest ebb, the club's most vocal supporters refused to enter the stadium for a game against Espanyol, protesting outside with a banner reading 'Setien, take your ego out of our club'.
Arteta will surely look at the current crop and decide that at one minute past midnight on January 1, he wants to get some dry ink on a contract with a centre-half he can rely on. They say Kalidou Koulibaly is finally on the move from Napoli - and what a statement that would be. Arsenal's defensive frailty could be blamed on David LuizGetty Images 4.
In rounds two and three of the competition, Colchester dumped Crystal Palace and Tottenham out of the tournament, ousting their more illustrious opponents via a penalty shootout after 0-0 draws on both occasions.
City's backline has been ravaged by injury, with Guardiola fielding defensive midfielder Fernando in central defence in recent games. The reality is we are 14 points behind for the mistakes we have done, for the quality of our opponents and especially, as well, the things we cannot control," he said.
However, Spurs benefited from a huge stroke of luck, against the run of play, to snatch victory, as Alli’s cross took a wicked deflection over Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul, with Son arriving at the back post to sneak the ball home. TALKING POINT Spurs still have much improving to do. A victory was much needed for Spurs, with their chances of snatching fourth spot looking slimmer week on week.
One of the major questions on the lips of every football fan is whether the Premier League season will reach its conclusion. But does it actually matter when it comes to the final standings? All 20 Premier League clubs are committed to finishing the season, but what if that proves impossible? If the campaign cannot be completed, one option could see the table as it stands now (after 29 games for most teams) declared final.
Burnley average one goal per game away from home in the Premier League. Despite City only keeping two clean sheets from their last six home matches in the Premier League, we expect that Burnley average to take a hit. The Clarets have only managed one goal in their previous four matches against City. Expect the home side to deliver a clinical win with a clean sheet.
Manchester United have been relying a lot on Marcus Rashford's brilliance, so his absence is particularly damaging for them right now. Rashford is out injured for at least the next six weeks and while he is not on the pitch, I am not sure where United's goals are going to come from. If you watch the best sides, then the way they attack and the way the team functions is not down to any individual. Look at Liverpool, and the way they get it wide or get the ball in behind to one of the front three and you can see how and where they create.
But the fact their three leading candidates play in defence, midfield and attack show how strong they have been in every area this season. Alex Scott: Jordan Henderson (2)It is hard to decide this year but, in a team where there are so many big names around him that often take the limelight, Henderson has been a driving force. His hard work has allowed those superstars to shine. Media playback is not supported on this device Liverpool 5-3 Chelsea: Henderson on 'amazing feeling' of lifting Premier League trophy When you consider what he has had to come through, with people doubting whether he can be a leader, and whether he should even play for Liverpool or England, for him to have been such a key part of a title-winning team is extraordinary.
Forest drew 1-1 at in-form Derby County on Saturday but will be disappointed with that result. They led early in the first half but conceded a 96th minute equalizer. When Fulham won at home to Birmingham later that afternoon, that saw the Londoners go above Forest in the table. The home side are six points behind the final automatic promotion spot.
I started to really watch football. To analyse it. To understand what I felt, and what I wanted to put into practice when I became a coach. After the Pep Guardiola and Tito Vilanova era, Barcelona began to lose some of their swagger while still picking up trophies at an impressive rate. Under Luis Enrique and then Valverde the focus shifted from teamwork to the individual, with elite players such as Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez becoming increasingly important.
The striker was recruited while Cardiff were in the Premier League and the Bluebirds have since been relegated to the Championship. Cardiff believe the transfer was null and void, saying the Premier League had rejected certain clauses requested by Nantes in the original contract and that Sala never had a chance to review or sign the final version, meaning their record signing was not registered as a Premier League player.
With Wednesday drawing four of their six home clashes with sides in the top two-thirds of the league, we are going with another draw in this clash. The Robins have avoided defeat in all but two of their trips, so a 1-1 draw is our correct score pick in this clash.

From Hoddesdon Town six years ago to playing Liverpool now, I just thank God for everything," he said. There's always something that drives you on in life. I'm just lucky it's football which does it for me. I don't call it a job. You don't class this as work. Nigeria-born Udoh began his footballing life with Luton Town as a boy and went from the Stevenage academy into non-league at Kidderminster Harriers and Worcester City, before his lowest point in English football's pyramid with Hoddesdon.

However, merely being competitive is not something that Crewe fans have come to expect this season as the Alex have been strong throughout the campaign and are credible contenders to be playing their football in League 1 by the time the next campaign comes along. The hosts are in excellent form at home and have scored 13 times in their last four home league games. However, with the side also conceding in 77% of their home matches, they know that there is plenty of work to be done if their good start can be manufactured into something greater.
Clubs: LiverpoolThere were times during Steven Gerrard's 17-year Liverpool career when it appeared as though the midfielder was propelling the club forward on his own. Often played on the right in his early Anfield days, Gerrard became the ultimate box-to-box central midfielder who was capable of inspiring those around him. Blessed with superb stamina, a powerful shot and excellent crossing ability, he scored 120 goals in 504 top-flight appearances and is sixth on the Premier League's all-time list for assists.

Zagreb derby between Lokomotiva Zagreb and Dinamo Zagreb. Lok Zagreb failed to resume the season in good form. The team lost against Osijek in the own turf. But still is in contention for a Europa League place. Goran Tomic's charges are likely to play with their hearts in this game. Dinamo Zagreb has already secured the Championship, home win is anticipated as Dinamo will play for nothing. Dinamo Zagreb won trophy dominantly, meaning the coach is likely to rest players in derby. The hosts need the win here, and I predict that Look. Zagreb is going to secure all points possible here.
His introduction for Dele Alli 13 minutes from time underlines Eriksen has not been excluded from Mourinho's plans. But how the new Spurs boss deals with that situation may prove pivotal in whether Tottenham clamber back into the fight for a Champions League place or linger in mid-table for the rest of the campaign.

Having come into the group looking like having a reasonable chance of reaching the last 32, Rennes' performances in the Europa League have been highly disappointing. After 5 matches, the French outfit have just 1 point to their name and have now lost their last 4 games in the competition.
Throughout all of this we have based what we did on the scientific evidence we received both from Sage [Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies] and from the medical officers. I spoke to them twice and they met with the sporting bodies. The analysis was that in these events the risk is the people that are immediately in the row in front of you, the row behind you and either side. Now that risk is as great or as little as it would be if you were watching it in the pub down the road on a big screen, if you were going on public transport to get to the event.

The new Spurs manager wants the 32-year-old Belgian to extend his contract, which will expire at the end of the season. He said: “I think a player will sign a contract when the club wants – I am the club, Mr Levy is the club – when the player wants, when the family wants, when the agent wants. If one of these parts doesn’t want it is very difficult to make it happen unless the player changes agent and gets an agent who also wants.
Hopefully, we can get through this tournament and prolong the season. It takes time, I'm not a doctor. I was hoping he would recover quicker than what it looks like - he's going to be out for another few months definitely. If he's not fit enough he won't go (to the Euros). Video - Arsenal’s ‘top target’ available for €40m this summer - Euro Papers00:57 United signed Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo on loan as cover in the January transfer window and Solskjaer is optimistic the 30-year-old will be able to make up for Rashford's absence.
