But it is Olympic glory that is on her mind going into the New Year, as the four home nations (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) agreed to allow a united women's team to play in the 2020 Tokyo Games. I think for anyone who can be involved or potentially selected it's something we've thought about, naturally," Little, 29, told Reuters at Visa Europe's headquarters in London.
Newcastle United, Bournemouth and Norwich City have also taken the decision to furlough some of their own staff on the government's scheme. Video - Tottenham’s decision to cut staff pay ‘completely unacceptable’02:09 However, pressure is now mounting on Spurs to follow Liverpool’s example and perform a U-turn, with Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust urging their club to listen to supporters, calling on Levy and the board to “pause and rethink”.
Premier League leaders Liverpool are facing criticism from former players and fans for joining Newcastle, Tottenham, Bournemouth and Norwich in furloughing non-playing staff. Rooney said he expects people to "point the finger" at him for airing his views on the pay-cut issue but wanted to "speak up" for players. At the moment it's almost a free-for-all: it's like the government, Premier League and sections of the media have set the players up to fall," he added.

Continuing on the subject of Eriksen, the Portuguese added: "I just want to say that this situation shouldn't happen on 25 January. The only thing I can say is Eriksen, since I arrive, he is behaving in a very, very professional way, with me and the team. But to be on 25 January in a situation like this is not nice. Eriksen was left out of Tottenham's FA Cup fourth-round draw at Southampton on Saturday, but has been regularly involved during Mourinho's time at the club despite the speculation surrounding the 27-year-old's future.
With the problems mounting up, fans will be hoping Smith can land some of his targets in the January transfer window. Watford improving under PearsonWatford have had a chaotic season with managers coming and going, an 8-0 thrashing at Manchester City and a long relegation battle. Yet their polished performance against troubled Villa provided further evidence things are changing for the better. The Hornets look refreshed and reborn under Pearson.
The delaying of Euro 2020 by a year provided the Premier League with greater flexibility in which to fit in fixtures. But there remains a time pressure imposed by issues with players' contracts, many of which run out on 30 June, and the scheduled start of the 2020-21 season in August. There is also a financial incentive to resume playing, with the threat of an increased or restructured rebate to TV companies if fixtures are not completed.
I like Greuther Furth very much especially when they play games at home because they are very attacking minded side and play with a really high defense line and lost games this season by conceding quite a lot of goals for example were 4-0 down at home to Arminia Bielefeld and lost 4-2 in the end as they do score creating plenty of scoring chances even against the toughest defenses in the league just after the break they hosted tough Hamburg scoring 2 goals they also conceded 2 goals.
But after a turgid opening hour, the visitors suddenly clicked into life with three goals in nine minutes. Gabriel Martinelli fired home on his full Premier League debut, Nicolas Pepe rifled into the top corner and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang finished smartly to give Arsenal and interim boss Freddie Ljungberg a much-needed win.

In Spain, Mallorca and Leganes are expected to meet each other in a La liga match which will be held at Estadi de Son Moix stadium, Palma city. In the table, Mallorca takes position 18 with 25 points after playing 29 matches while Leganes takes the last position, 20 with 23 points after playing 29 matches.
Paper Round’s view: Barcelona’s transfer planning has been knocked out of shape by splurging for Philippe Coutinho and then Antoine Griezmann, without being able to recoup enough costs to balance the books. In the absence of Luis Suarez they want a backup striker, and Perez seems to be the player they are ready to sacrifice for that.
While this game will be a welcome distraction for the hosts, it's probably not what Peterborough need. Posh have moved in the wrong direction of late in League 1 and they'll likely want to rectify that ASAP, so an away FA Cup game against Premier League opposition isn't exactly what the doctor ordered.
Olympiakos haven't enjoyed their Champions League campaign so far this season with just a single point for the Greek side, following their 2-2 draw with Spurs in the reverse fixture to this game. Since then they've lost twice to Bayern Munich and once to Crvena zvezda, conceding eight goals in the process. Things haven't gone well for Olympiakos and it's hard to see them getting anything from this game.
The manager is a long-time admirer of Young, and reportedly tried to sign him during his tenure at Stamford Bridge in 2017. The England international will be offered an 18-month deal to join the Serie A giants. United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to keep hold of the 34-year-old, who is a key leader in the United dressing room and can play in multiple positions, but is resigned to losing him either in January or in the summer after this latest failed contract negotiation.
Dawson is not averse to scoring the occasional goal, normally with his head, but his immaculate overhead equaliser for the Hornets (his first goal for the club) must go down as one of his best. Did you know? Dawson's goal was his first in the Premier League in 31 appearances (since February 2018). Midfielders - Adama Traore (Wolves), Kevin de Bruyne (Man City), Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd), Luka Milivojevic (Crystal Palace), Phil Foden (Man City) Traore: I don't understand managers sometimes.
Mendilibar's side have failed to score in four of their last five at home and defensively they have also been poor in their own backyard, with 15 goals conceded in total and just one clean sheet mustered in eight.
With those factors considered, we like the look of the Chelsea win and both teams to score combination for Saturdays game which looks a smart avenue of approach at the available odds, while our correct score prediction lands at a 2-1 home win.
BBC, BT, Premier Sports and Sky pay huge amounts of money to screen football. The latter three use football to drive their subscriptions. If there is no football, what happens to the subscription numbers and, in turn, their ability to pay the contracts. As with so many things, the length of time this shutdown goes on for will determine what happens next. What about payments given to clubs depending on league position - what will they get?Stone: "If the Premier League has its way, they will get the payments they are supposed to get because the season will finish.
FC Gorodeya and Dinamo Minsk have many similarities in form during the opening phase of the Belarusian National League. Specifically, they both lost the first 2 matches of the season and had to wait until the third round, FC Gorodeya and Dinamo Minsk to have a winning smile.
That's not just in terms of formation, but because they both work extremely hard too. The big difference is, from midfield going forward, Wolves have got a lot more quality. Their striker Raul Jimenez is such a good player. I don't think the Blades will give him much space though, and I just have a feeling that they will dig in and get something out of this game. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Joel's prediction: 0-0 West Ham v Burnley (18:00 BST)Burnley have been hit hard by more injuries, with defender Ben Mee (thigh) and midfielder Jack Cork (ankle) potentially out for the rest of the season.
You might not see another goalkeeping performance like that this season. There was simply no way past him.

VAR overruled the linesman and Chelsea, some of whose players stopped when the flag was raised, had to suffer for his mistake. Nevertheless Bournemouth, who have been devastated by injury, deserved this victory. Meanwhile, Frank Lampard should take caution and not be too hard on his early-season overachievers. Chelsea are fourth in the table and in the last 16 of the Champions League. They may have dropped a few points along the way but they are punching above their weight.
West Brom have won their last three games against QPR scoring 12 goals including a 7-1 home win over them last season. It's going to be a nervous time for West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday evening. They are in second place and know a home win over QPR who are 14th, will see them promoted to the Premier League.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says finally being able to lift the Premier League trophy will be "like Christmas". The Reds will be presented with the long-awaited silverware following their league match with Chelsea at Anfield on Wednesday. It's been a really long run-up to this. We have been champions for a month now," said Klopp. It's a bit like Christmas - you know you're getting a specific present but you are still excited.
You have to remember when you are a player and you are out on the pitch for 90 minutes, it feels a lot different," he said. When he [Foster] gets in tomorrow. Mullins also feels it is key that the side stick together if they are to avoid returning to the Championship, where they last played in 2014-15. We have some big characters in the dressing room and we need to be ready for a big game on Sunday," he told BBC Sport.
Bayer Leverkusen will against Borussia Dortmund in match Germany Bundesliga. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 3.5 goals due to Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund always can make score on last 3 match. Moreover Borussia Dortmund at this time have great forward like as Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho. Even though Marco Reus can't played on this match, I think this match still much score. Likewise Bayer Leverkusen have great forward like as Kevin Volland and Leon Bailey to make score anytime. Therefore, I'm predict this match could be the end score is over 3.5 goals.

This was the year our city was more than just crisps. It was my idea to go to Stamford Bridge on Monday, 2 May 2016. I'd given it the big sell to BBC Radio Leicester management, without even knowing whether I'd need to go. Cover every base just in case Leicester got a point at Manchester United the previous day, meaning they would win the title if Tottenham failed to beat Chelsea. I went for a walk at 7am on that Monday morning with my two-month-old son.
Marseille definitely haven't been playing their best football away from home but recently their momentum has carried them across the line. Their last two results on the road were both 2-0 wins and they'll be hoping to show that sort of defensive security here again. Les Olympiens have been outstanding at both ends of the pitch in the last few weeks, something which should strike fear into this Metz side.
The reverse is also true for United however, who stopped Wolves scoring against them for the first time in two years in that game, though the statistics suggest that both teams should get back into the goal-getting groove this week.
Their only home loss in the six matches came against Bayern Munich, which was somewhat expected and they had kept four clean sheets in the six matches. Only five points separate Koln and sixth placed Schalke, who occupy the final European slot and they will consider this a motivation to go for three points.
Robert Lewandowski passed 50 goals for the season as Bayern Munich beat Bayer Leverkusen to win a record 20th German Cup and 13th domestic double. David Alaba's free-kick put them ahead and Serge Gnabry added a second, before Lewandowski's long-range shot was fumbled in by Lukas Hradecky. Sven Bender's header gave Leverkusen hope but Lewandowski's delicate dink put the result beyond doubt. Kai Havertz scored a penalty with the last kick for Leverkusen.

Meanwhile, after a 15th place finish last season, Amiens weren't expected to pull up many trees this campaign and they certainly haven't in the action we've seen so far. Indeed, currently 17th with 17 points from as many games, the visitors look set for a battle against the drop into Ligue 2.
Victor Lindelof's goal was just his second in 84 appearances for United in all competitions. They've both been scored at Old Trafford past goalkeeper Tom Heaton - the other coming when he was in goal for Burnley in January. Villa named an unchanged starting XI for the fourth time in the Premier League this season - as many as they did in their 49 games in the Championship in 2018-19 (including play-offs).
I feel the hosts should be caught on a couple of counters as they should have their players set up pretty high on the pitch and Osnabruck has better results away from home after the break than in home games as they even won a late point at Arminia Bielefeld which is top of the league with a 1-1 draw, won 2-0 away at Greuther Furth and they did defeat Hamburger SV with 2-1 at home earlier this season despite not really having that much ball possession while their keeper needed to make save after save they won all 3 points.
So what does Bruce see in the player and why does he continue to lead the line for the Magpies?A number nine who plays outside the box The Brazilian was Bruce's first signing when he replaced Rafael Benitez, and the striker was handed the famous number nine shirt previously worn by club legends Jackie Milburn, Alan Shearer and Andy Cole. But the former Hoffenheim frontman - who scored just seven Bundesliga goals last season - has failed to live up to those before him, a winner against Tottenham back in August being his only English top-flight strike so far.
He says losing so many fans will cost Newcastle not only next term but in seasons to come. Fans voted with their feet and think of all those kids whose parents or uncles or aunties have turned their backs on the club," Wraith says. It has the potential to cut out a new generation of supporters. You see a lot of kids now wearing shirts of other teams in the city rather than Newcastle. Asked whether that financial loss could trigger Ashley to sell, Wraith says: "You would think so, but I don't think he's a willing seller.
It's very easy to compare the two of them, yes," Solskjaer said. Both with skills, body shape, attitude, attributes – everything. The boy has every chance in the world to become a top, top player. Let's hope he continues like this. Rashford has previously been criticised for a perceived lack of composure in front of goal but he is flourishing under Solskjaer, who scored 126 goals in 366 appearances as a player for United.
If they go and win that one, that gives Frank more breathing space with the press. If he doesn’t win that game, it’ll be interesting to see what people start saying. Straight away, if Tottenham win, they go past Chelsea into fourth. UNITED MUST BACK UP BRIDGE WIN BY BEATING WATFORD It was another good result for Manchester United away from home on Monday night, playing three at the back, which worked for them and is a strength for them, but the most important match now is the one against Watford at home on Sunday.
Brighton striker Glenn Murray says some proposed protocols around the Premier League's return to action amid the coronavirus pandemic are "farcical". Reports suggest players will have to wear face masks when they return to training, with a potential restart behind closed doors on 8 June. Premier League club executives will meet via a video conference call on Friday to discuss their options. Murray says the resumption is a "really difficult situation to agree on".
Incheon United will host Busan I'Park for this fixture of the league. Both teams are one of the main outsiders in this campaign. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. Busan have better results than their opponent. However, they are not convincing team. Also, Busan is not very good team away from home. On the other hand Incheon is worst team in the league. Also, the hosts have fallen into a very poor show. They have five consecutive losses. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. I expect, the hosts will have invest great effort in this game. Incheon will try to break the poor series.

I understand all the rumours even if I don't know all of them. I don't have reasons to not be confident in my work. Moshiri and Brands are keen to maintain stability at the club, but David Moyes and Mark Hughes have been discussed as possible interim options if results do not improve. The defeat by Norwich left the Toffees four points above the relegation zone. What we are doing every single day is our maximum, 100% maximum, to achieve what we want," added the 42-year-old Silva.
Afif has long been touted as one of the most promising talents in the region and has had spells in Belgium with Eupen and in Spain with Sporting Gijon before joining Al Sadd last year. With this kind of talent, he has many ambitions," Xavi said. He's still young and I think he can do many things in his career.
