Spurs, who have played in the Champions League for the last four seasons, are currently eighth in the Premier League - seven points behind fourth-placed Chelsea - with nine matches remaining. Levy, who replaced Sir Alan Sugar as chairman in February 2001, added: "I said as early as 18 March that, in all my 20 years at the club, there have been many hurdles along the way but none of this magnitude - the Covid-19 pandemic has shown itself to be the most serious of them all.
Rangers made it out of a group that few would have given them much hope of getting out of when the draw was originally made. A club that couldn't kick its own backside in Europe in the season before Steven Gerrard arrived as manager - they allowed Progres Niedercorn to do it for them - had now navigated its way through to the knockouts. It's worth remembering that in Rangers' dozen European games before Progres - dating back to 2010 - they didn't win any of them.
Luckily for the Gunners, they host one of the Premier League's worst teams on current form at the Emirates this weekend, and Emery will be banking on picking up three precious points against a weak looking Southampton team.
It begins a hectic week for the Gunners, who then travel to Standard Liege with Europa League progress still in the balance before hosting Manchester City at the weekend. Elsewhere, there is a full round of European fixtures in midweek, while there will undoubtedly be more fall-out from City's loss to Man United in the Manchester derby on Saturday, not least given the abhorrent allegations of racial abuse suffered by Fred.
Lawro's prediction: 1-2Tom's prediction: Newcastle are half-decent at home. SUNDAY Burnley v Leicester (14:00 GMT)Burnley got swept aside by Chelsea last week and are on a bad run of results, with four straight league defeats. But Leicester seem to have lost a bit of the self-belief and swagger that had propelled them up the table, and any thoughts of them seriously challenging for the title have now gone.
It was the ultimate triumph of the human spirit. A lot was made of Ferguson’s half-time team talk, when he told the players they would not be able to touch the European Cup if they did not win. It was a lovely line – but it had very little to do with the result. Gary Neville can’t even remember Ferguson saying it, though others confirmed he did.

I surely believe in goals in this match from Portuguese second league and I will try that option. I was wrote a lot of times about this amazing team, of course I mean on Benfica B, and I will repeat some facts. They are team who is playing without any pressure and they will continue that way and today, at least I believe in that. So, Benfica B is in last four matches played with four or more goals at home and in last one at home, they are won 4-0. It will be similar and in this one, I'm sure.
Gerrard, now a manager at Scottish Premiership side Rangers, is looking to break arch rivals Celtic's monopoly on the league title and his side are within striking distance, trailing the champions by two points with a game in hand. The 39-year-old said ending Celtic's eight-year reign would be an achievement on par with Liverpool's miraculous Champions League final comeback win in 2005 when they beat AC Milan in Istanbul.
But the chances were few for Liverpool in a first half that saw Watford defend in numbers and remain compact. Watford had chances on the break but didn't take them - Will Hughes dragging a shot wide and Etienne Capoue having an effort blocked in the box. In the end it was Liverpool who capitalised with a break of their own - Firmino, Mane and Salah combining for the opener. Sarr missed a golden opportunity to equalise five minutes later, and Alisson was kept on his toes as he made two smart close-range saves early in the second half.
Ryan Christie converted a penalty at the second attempt after Lewis Morgan was fouled, then he coolly restored the lead just before the break after Ross Stewart's header had levelled. Tom Rogic and Mikey Johnston netted after the interval as Celtic took their tally to 37 points from a possible 42 and put pressure on rivals Rangers, who face Hearts later on Sunday. County had a late effort by Stewart disallowed for offside, but the Dingwall side are now nine games without a win and remain eighth, three points clear of bottom spot.
Paper Round’s view: Is this actually happening? It is an incredibly audacious move from Everton, but why not aim high. The reports around this contrast from Ancelotti wanting a break from management, to the Italian likely to be sitting in the Goodison Park dugout on Saturday. It is difficult to know who to believe.
That left United heavily reliant on 22-year-old Marcus Rashford and, though the England forward has impressed with 14 league goals, a stress fracture in his back is set to keep him out for at least six weeks. Initially, the highly rated Erling Braut Haaland - a reported target of United - chose Borussia Dortmund as his next club despite Solskjaer, who managed the teenager at Molde, flying to Austria in November to speak with him.
Only problem for this bet here is that Listen are quite relaxed with 24 points as it was never their objective to get promoted in their first season at the 2nd league level in this country, but they are 14 points away from the bottom two clubs and 10 points away from Vlasim who is 3rd from bottom, still what makes me bet here on the hosts to win this one by 2 goals or more is their last couple of home games as except for a 3-1 loss at home to Usti nad Labem they won 3-0 with Prostejov, 5-1 with Vitkovice and 2-0 with Chrudim as they started this new season with many draws in their opening games at home.
Spanish La Liga match. Team Leganes will play at home with team Real Sociedad. Hosts finished last 5 matches without " both teams to score ". Also Legend scored their home goals in the last year. Real Sociedad won last 3 matches. There they scored about 8 goals. Their shape is very well. My bet will over 2 goals. It is time for hosts to score a goals. Guests must to score their goals also. Last h2h match was ended with 2 goals. I think it is a good bet on this match and I recommend to try this bet with me.

Regardless of the outcome at Wembley, it promises to be a busy summer at Emirates Stadium. Top of Arteta's list of duties will be to tie Aubameyang to a new contract while there is a decision to be made about on-loan midfielder Dani Ceballos, who is due to return to Real Madrid. The future of Mesut Ozil, who became the highest paid player in the club's history when he signed a three-and-a-half-year deal in January 2018, needs clarifying after he was left out of Arsenal's last 10 games, while French midfielder Matteo Guendouzi has not featured since the defeat at Brighton on 20 June.
Frosinone faced poorly against Perugia when they had to lose at 6/10 encounters with the nearest opponent, including losing 3 recent matches. At home, Frosinone also lost twice to the nearest Perugia, including a defeat at -0.5 AH. Currently, in the Serie B standings, both teams stand in the upper half, and Frosinone wins 4 points more than the opponent. Frosinone is in fierce competition for the direct promotion tickets so Frosinone's determination is also very great. At that time, so I believe in the opportunity to win 3 points of the landlord right now, especially when they accept Perugia 0.5 handicap.
He added: "I am absolutely delighted that our approach has been vindicated throughout, following an intense period of legal scrutiny and review. It has been a very demanding process, but I had complete confidence in the actions and decisions of the SPFL board and the SPFL executive team. SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan confirmed that three members of the organisation's executive team were interviewed by the panel and thousands of pages of evidence were considered.
Having drawn at Everton in their first game back and now beating Palace, Klopp's side are on the brink of victory. Tonight was a big step, that's clear," Klopp told BBC Radio 5 Live. We've all still got to play seven games, if we play like this it's really not nice to play against us. I have to watch the game tomorrow because we play them one week later. That's being professional and doing my job. Liverpool have lost just one Premier League game all seasonLiverpool completely outclassed Palace on Wednesday, scoring four times but also spurning numerous opportunities to add more goals.

Paris have won four of their last five clashes with Saint-Étienne and we're backing that to continue but we doubt it'll be the most dominating of performances from the visitors.

Zira will be hosting Keshla in this round of the Azerbaijan Premier League this afternoon and I believe that we are going to have goals from each team in question here.

The visitors have managed to score an average of 1 goal in their last 5 games on the road in all competitions and they can score at least a goal in this game too seeing that they possess more quality
Brighton were able to reach the semi-finals of this competition last season before a narrow loss to Man City ended their hopes. They’ll be keen for another trip to Wembley this season though, although a tough game against Sheffield Wednesday stands in their way. Brighton had a tough journey to the semi-finals last season though, beating Bournemouth in the third round before beating three Championship sides before their loss against Man City so they definitely have pedigree in beating opponents at their own level in this competition.

Though that would require Liverpool to win all their matches in that time while Manchester City lose theirs - which seems unlikely. Even if City lost their next five games the likes of Leicester, currently third, would likely pick up enough points to keep the title race alive, just. Whatever happens, Liverpool know that 10 wins from their remaining 16 games will be enough to be crowned champions.
Arminia Bielefeld is currently playing quite high. The home team took 50 points and topped the BXH. They are standing 2 to 6 points behind the team.

The visiting team is ranked 12th with 29 points on the table. They have not won yet in the last 7 rounds. The best they have earned are only 3 drawers and 3 losses.

Sebeta Kenema will host Welayta Dicha for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. I expect, this will be another one tough match for both sides. Also, I think, the visitors have a real chance to make a positive result. I do not think, the hosts to dominate in this game. Sebeta City have slight advantage at home stadium. Sebeta is worst team on the home ground. Also, we have Welayta Dicha who's is also poor team in the last matches. Nevertheless, they will try to pick up all three points.
