You can listen via radio, BBC Sounds and online. Also on Saturday, there will be a Football Focus, Match of the Day - looking into the top 10 Premier League managers - and Match of Their Day, which will feature Jermaine Jenas' classic Premier League games. On Sunday, what would have been the final day of the 2020 Masters, BBC Two will be showing 'Tiger Roars Again', a look back at Tiger Woods' remarkable triumph at last year's golf major at Augusta.
They aim to make it two wins out of two with a home victory over Alianza Lima, who lost their first group game. Racing began the group with a 2-1 away win at Estudiantes de Merida. A good win considering they trailed 1-0 with 19 minutes remaining and didn't get their winner until the 84th minute. They are fourth in the Argentinian Super League and are unbeaten in their last ten matches.
TOKYO, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Al Hilal will be backed by up to 3,000 of their own fans at a sold-out Saitama Stadium on Sunday as they look to claim their first Asian title in almost two decades when they face Urawa Red Diamonds in the Asian Champions League final second leg. Razvan Lucescu's side hold a 1-0 advantage from the first leg in Riyadh two weeks ago courtesy of a goal from winger Andre Carillo and the club have requested all of their allocation for the return match at the 63,500-seater stadium north of Tokyo.
Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last four home games. They will face Chinandega who have lost their last two games. On the road Chinandega have lost five of their last eight games. Real Madriz have acquired 95% of their points at home where they have acquired 11 of the possible 14 points.
However, by the time they lifted their first national title in 1980, they had grown to become one of the best supported clubs in the country. The early 1980s quickly became their own golden era. The team was spearheaded by legendary Brazilian playmaker Zico and claimed a stunning sequence of success - four league titles and the 1981 Libertadores Cup, followed by that aforementioned Intercontinental Cup triumph.
HONG KONG, March 2 (Reuters) - Group stage matches in the Asian Champions League could be held as late as the end of July, the Asian Football Confederation said on Monday, as the coronavirus outbreak continues to impact the schedule of the continent's leading club competition. The confederation said after an emergency meeting at its headquarters in Kuala Lumpur that provisions would be made to extend the group phase beyond its scheduled finish in late May until the end of June.
Los Che are clearly a far more consistent outfit now than at the start of the campaign; however they still have to prove that they can string results together on the road, after losing four of their eight away La Liga games this term.
Others say they feel pressured into agreeing to play by politicians and league bosses when they would prefer the season to be abandoned. Matches at original venues 'present challenges' to emergency servicesLa Liga plans training return as soon as possiblePrivately, the mood within both the Premier League and in Whitehall suggests cautious optimism remains. And there are some reasons for positivity too.
Those us of us who still remain to be fully convinced of Solskjaer's credentials must not be churlish enough to avoid giving him full credit when it is due. He has now overcome Manchester City and manager Pep Guardiola three times this season, twice in the league and once in a losing cause in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at Etihad Stadium. As previous seasons have told us, this takes some doing.
Liverpool maintained their eight-point advantage at the top of the Premier League with a late winner at Crystal Palace on Saturday. That 2-1 victory ensures they remain nine points ahead of defending champions Manchester City, who beat Chelsea 2-1 to climb to third in the table. Leicester are a point above City in second following a 2-0 win at Brighton, while Tottenham made a winning start under Jose Mourinho as they beat West Ham 3-2.

Before then, the home side had battled hard but were too reliant on the creative pair of Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin, who threatened in flashes but failed to produce anything decisive. After breaking his 27 game and 10 month drought on Sunday, Joelinton could have added another league strike to his meagre tally of two, but Tyrone Mings denied him with a superb challenge in the box. Elmohamady's goal is a setback, ending a run of three successive clean sheets, but only a minor one for a side that have already exceeded many critics' expectations this season.
The hosts had a mini-wobble earlier this season, but they have returned to the top two in impressive fashion after an excellent streak of results. The hosts have kept three successive clean sheets going into this clash, while they have an eight-point lead over third in their bid for the automatic promotion spot they missed out on earlier this year.
Watford fired Flores on Sunday less than three months into his second spell with the club, after the Spaniard led them to one win in their last 10 league matches. Flores is the second permanent manager to be sacked by the league's bottom club this season after they dismissed Spaniard Javi Gracia four games into the campaign.
However, there is still plenty of issues to address for the hosts as they have failed to win any of their last four home matches and have earned just 10 points on home soil overall. While Orient have a solid offensive record, their record of keeping the opposition at bay is not quite as good and the 37 goals conceded this term represents the second worst defensive record in the division.
The Toffees fans were furious with the outcome of the derby and although they will be fully behind the team on Saturday, they will insist on a better performance. So, I am sure we will see a reaction from the Everton players here, especially because they are at home. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Hugh's prediction: 2-0Matthew's prediction: 1-1 Leicester v SouthamptonSouthampton are going extremely well at the moment but I just feel Leicester will have a little bit of a point to prove.
The league will be in regular contact with the PFA and the union will join a meeting which will be held tomorrow (Saturday) between the league, players and club representatives. Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend had spoken of his frustration with Hancock "deflecting blame on to footballers", stating players were an "easy target" and often supported charities. The Premier League said it was aware of "severe difficulties" throughout the football pyramid and with clubs unable to play fixtures, moved to help "immediately deal with the impact of falling cash flow" at EFL and National League clubs.
Rangers and Partick Thistle also issued strongly worded statements criticising the attempt to "railroad" clubs into making a decision. Why the rush? Some clubs are crying out for clarity. In this case, clarity is another word for cash. Much of Scottish football lives a precarious lifestyle. Month on month, it's hand to mouth. In the best of times, many clubs find it tough going. These are the worst of times and clubs are hurting.
To an outsider it may not seem like an obvious choice. In reality, Ibrahimovic's move looks incredibly savvy and suggests he or whoever is advising him has been paying attention. When the 38-year-old told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet on Wednesday that Hammarby are the club with "the greatest potential to become the biggest in Scandinavia" he wasn't exaggerating. Who are Hammarby?While Gothenburg and Malmo have an international reputation with the silverware to back it up, Hammarby have only won one league title in their history, and a lack of European credentials mean they have received little exposure outside of Sweden.
Whelan is 36 today. Hearts need better. They need energy and intensity and creativity in the middle of the park, the kind of qualities that the teenage Andy Irving showed in Hearts' last game, a 1-1 draw against Aberdeen. Glenn Whelan had his Hearts contract terminated this month'Hearts need shaking up'Whelan either can't see that or doesn't want to see it. Daly was the third one to go over the top.
But Real have been in scintillating form since the restart and did not look like losing after Benzema's opener on Thursday. His second from the spot put the game beyond Villarreal's reach, despite a nervy final few minutes. In the end, Barcelona's defeat by Osasuna made the victory a little more comfortable but no less significant for Zidane, who was hoisted into the air by his players. Scheming Ramos let off the hook Karim Benzema scored his 20th and 21st La Liga goals of the seasonReal's title-winning moment looked like set to be relatively straightforward.
Fulham and Derby County face each other for the Championship. Both the have a good roster and I expected both to be on top flight of the table at least on the playoff spots. Fulham is clearly stronger, they came from Premier League and have a great team for Championship. Derby County are not doing as well as I expected them to do but are still in the run. The championship is long and I believe they have a team ready to takeover. The odds for the draw are good and I believe they have a lot of value. I predict the draw
But everything was going through Fernandes on Sunday and he was very comfortable with that. He was telling his team-mates what he wanted and he looks like a leader as well, so that is another thing he brings to the table that United needed. For his goal, I liked the fact that straight after he was fouled he was saying, 'Give me the ball, I want the penalty'. And the way he took a little skip before casually stroking home the penalty was more proof that he has got a bit of arrogance about him.
We are not talking about guys in one community, we are talking about guys from all over the world who could be possibly carrying the disease. There are so many caveats. Everyone is in different situations, I have children at home, I wouldn’t want to jeopardise them, some footballers have newly born children who might be more susceptible to getting the disease. Some are living with elderly parents. It is a really difficult situation to agree on.
The Wanderers have continued scoring at a similar rate, averaging 1.25 goals per game in their first four games and 1 goal a game in their most recent four but their problems lie at the other end of the pitch where they have conceded 2.25 goals per game in the last four weeks, compared to just 0.5 goals per game in the opening four weeks.

Arrows have scored more than one goal in just one of their last 11 PSL matches Six of the last eight meetings between the two sides have ended in under 2.5 goals. After their loss in the Soweto Derby, Orlando Pirates will be seeking a return to winning ways when they play away to Golden Arrows on Saturday.
Feel quite safe with taking the over 3 goals bet in this one as I see it likely that both teams shall be scoring and see good chances that both side can score even 2+ goals in this one with the edge for the guests who on their last visit here in the ending of last season despite being 2-0 down in the game they won with 3-2 in the end and also in the first part of last season they defeated same Vikingur side with no less than 4-2 at home so high scoring games between them lately.

Leganes have good chance to make good play here, and to try making surprise, against the Champion and big favorite in the Cup game. Host did change a coach, when fired Valverde, and that made a lot of issues among the players. They went in the bad run with the results, and team lost their recent league game in Valencia, with the incident among the supporters.
GOAL! Carles Perez scores after Griezmann drills the ball into the box aimed at Vidal and he and Godin battled for the ball which ricocheted into the path of the young striker who made no mistake. Good stop by Neto. Martinez takes a speculative ball down brilliantly jumping and stretching out his left foot and then drills a shot in that the reserve keeper pushes away at his near post.

City, though, continued to press and soon Jesus’ first goal since mid-October - a wonderful curling strike from the angle after being played in by David Silva – edged the champions in front in the 24th minute. Nick Pope then brilliantly denied Raheem Sterling from close range to deny City a second, before making another smart save, with his legs, to keep out a goal-bound Bernardo Silva effort before the break.
Man City qualify unbeaten from the group, seven points ahead of second-placed Atalanta and could play any one of Napoli, Borussia Dortmund, Lyon, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16. TALKING POINT Another night of significance for Foden: Pep Guardiola stressed in his pre-match conference that Foden believed the 19-year-old could be a successor for David Silva, who is leaving the club at the end of the season.
Dennis Praet is the 14th different player to score a Premier League goal for Leicester this season, only Liverpool have had more (excluding own goals). Indeed, only in 2016-17 (16) have the Foxes had more different scorers in a season. Leicester's Jamie Vardy has had a hand in 21 Premier League goals this season (17 goals, four assists) - two more than any other player. Stuart Armstrong's equaliser was his fourth Premier League goal for Southampton and his first since December 2018 (against Manchester United), ending a run of 34 appearances in the competition without finding the net.
They have got an exciting talent in Phil Foden who will get his chance to step up, but he has got a huge hole to fill. When you look at how much Silva has won, what he has achieved and what he has given to our game in his time in England, the Spanish midfielder deserves to be remembered as one of the best foreign players we have seen in the Premier League. I would put him in the same bracket as Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, Manchester United great Eric Cantona and Silva's brilliant City team-mate Sergio Aguero.
With Al Masry’s form considered, we don’t see this being a thrilling tie. The visitors have seen under 2.5 goals in 88% of their matches in the league this term. They head into this week’s clash as the underdogs, with El Geish expected to set the tempo. However, the hosts have scored just once across the last three meetings between these two, so don’t expect the hosts to pour forward here.
