Football across the globe has been halted but it has not stopped European clubs from planning for next season. Last summer, Portuguese Joao Felix's £114m move from Benfica to Atletico Madrid was the biggest deal of the window but because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the uncertainty around the sport, it seems that free transfers may be the way forward. Clubs are already trying to build up some contacts to see if players are interested," said European football expert Kristof Terreur on BBC Radio 5 Live's Euro Leagues Show.

Tottenham also sacked their boss but are now in top form, so this will be a fascinating game. There could be a few team changes made considering both have qualified. Go for both teams to score in this game.
City are aiming to be allowed to stay in Europe’s biggest footballing competition following a two-year ban, reports the Mirror. Paper Round’s view: City have to go for broke in their attempts to avoid a ban, and employing one of the most accomplished lawyers in Britain seems a sensible use of money, in terms of risk and reward.
Apparently, the leadership of Manchester United finally took the right step, having bought Bruno Fernandes from the Lisbon Sporting. Once on the same route another Portuguese came to England - Cristiano Ronaldo. Of course, Fernandes is still very far from this level, but nevertheless, from the first matches he makes the most pleasant impression.

The prospect of a lengthy stop concerns club officials across the non-league pyramid. It could be terminal really. We rely on gate receipts. If the games are abandoned for the rest of the season many of the clubs at our level will go to the wall. Most clubs like us are run on a shoestring," said Skinner.
They’ve done it for three years, they are the best in this competition and facing them is a huge challenge. Guardiola was once the master of the Champions League, lifting the trophy with Barcelona in 2009 and 2011 in his fledgling years as a coach. But the Catalan has not won it since, losing three semi-finals with Bayern Munich and never getting past the last eight in three attempts with City, although he has amassed eight league titles across Spain, Germany and England.
Marseille are the form team and also favorites here but they ought not to forget that they have won none of the last three matches against Nantes. Also, Nantes have been improving in attack, and this is one factor Marseille will have to be cautious about, having conceded in three of their last five home matches. Sticking with Marseille’s form and Nantes’ scoring returns, we believe both teams will score here but Marseille will win. Go for a 2-1 win for the home team.
Dinamo brest fc have won three games and drew three games against Isloch fc, and these draws are the last games which means that they have three draws in a row so I expect the same. The game is between Dinamo brest and Isloch.

This is one of the most attractive matches for tonight where my expectations are going to see an entertainment game, full with scoring chances and final outcome to be covered by at least 3 goals in both nets.
Ipswich will undoubtedly end their winning run sooner or later, though recent efforts certainly don't point towards them having an easy time of it against an improving Accrington side. In fact, the current prices make the visitors look slightly underappreciated. The best-looking option ahead of this fixture is 'Accrington Draw No Bet'. Ipswich have been struggling to get their heads in front, while they've also been struggling to score goals at home. On the other hand, the visitors have got some pleasing result against teams in and around Ipswich in the table of late. Add in that the visitors outrank their hosts in areas such as touches in the opposition box, shots for and shots on target for and a bet on the hosts to continue struggling starts to appeal.
Reaction & as it happenedHow did the players rate?'A seismic day for Gerrard and team'The statistics coming into this were quite something. Celtic had won 15 in a row at Celtic Park in all competitions and hadn't lost to a domestic rival in their fortress since Aberdeen beat them in May 2018. Rangers, for their part, were unbeaten on the road in the league all season with eight wins and two draws. That was the backdrop along with the tumultuous League Cup final last month, a game that saw Celtic play poorly, have a man sent off, concede a penalty and finish the game with just one attempt on goal - and the trophy.

Bayern do not have much to play for in this game; they may field more youngsters with view of the upcoming cup game but we still expect to see a strong team out there. Wolfsburg have a poor record at home this season and it is poorer against Bayern in the past few matches so we expect the visitors to dominate. In their last four home games, Wolfsburg have conceded twice each time and have gone winless in five at home. They have failed to score twice in the last five home matches and face a Bayern side with five clean sheets in the last six home matches. A bet for Bayern to win 2-0 here could pass.
I'm good, it's absolutely no problem," said Solskjaer. Sometimes you laugh when you read stories about what I've said and stuff.

But this time the boot was on the other foot when Halme met Conor Chaplin's cross to level from close range and earn a deserved point.

But I would always back Manchester City when they are at home against another big club. They often seem to find an extra gear in them, and they very rarely lose them. There won't be a repeat of the scoreline from last season, when City won 6-0, but I am still expecting Pep Guardiola's side to win. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Seth's prediction: Manchester City, my boys! They are going to win, of course. They are going to crush Chelsea.
He was named Arsenal's 11th greatest player of all time in 2017, yet despite his loud hairstyles on the pitch - as well as his infamous underwear modelling off it - Ljungberg is in reality a private individual. Considering the fact that he is one of our greatest of all time, we don't know a lot about Fredrik Ljungberg," Swedish football journalist Frida Fagerlund told BBC Sport. He has always been very low key when it comes to the media and other public appearances.

He's a great man," said Zorc. The decision comes just days after Dortmund manager Lucien Favre said the attacking midfielder does not fit his current system. Right now, we are playing 3-4-3," Favre told the media before Saturday's Bundesliga match with Wolfsburg. So, I have been talking to Mario, and unfortunately this is not the right system for him. You must say the truth about this. Gotze started on the bench against Wolfsburg.
Now now now, what can I say about the home team that doesn't tower above the away team. This is a fixture of a strong team with good form this year against a visiting weak team with a terrible form this year. The away team has only registered one win! Yes only one win in all of its nine games this year in all competitions and managed to score only 3 goals in all those nine fixtures. They surely struggled even to get the win after being frustrated also by a weaker opponent. At least the away team are building confidence because they held the home team in a draw in their last encounter but I doubt if they can get any results today. So it's a home win for me.
On that day in 2016 - after scoring a penalty for AFC Wimbledon against Plymouth Argyle in the League Two play-off final - he famously said: "I think I'm technically unemployed, so any managers hit me up on the WhatsApp and get me a job.
