Birmingham City is without victory in last four rounds, losing three of them, in last round they played a draw at away against Blackburn, but this duel against Leeds United will be a real test for them. Visitors are at second place at standings, and by my opinion, one of most serious teams for direct promotion, which is their primary goal in current season. Leeds has won only two points from last three rounds, and this duel will be an excellent opportunity for them to return on winning ways. Bamford will be in attack, Klich and Dallas will be behind him, Harrison and Costa will be wingers, Leeds has an effective attack. Leeds United is able to win in this duel with more than 1.5 goals AH
These fixtures rarely disappoint, so we advise having a big bag of popcorn at the ready for the drama that will unfold. If you can only pick a certain section of the game to watch, tune in for the finale. We predict that a goal will be scored after 73:59.
IN OTHER NEWS Pfft. Quitters. Get the forks out, lads, give it a poke. It’ll be alright. RETRO CORNER Generally speaking, the Warm-Up likes to tie this bit into the main events of the day. Which is why we went searching for videos of Zinedine Zidane. And we found loads, and they were great … but halfway through one of them we found an assist from Guti that was so spittle-sprayingly ridiculous that we just ended up watching Guti assist videos instead.
The Football Association is to make 124 positions redundant because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. English football's governing body - a not-for-profit organisation - says it is planning for potential financial losses of about £300m. Eighty-two staff members will lose their jobs, while 42 vacancies will not be filled. FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said the organisation faced a "significant" financial challenge.
Paper Round’s view: Red Bull’s control over both sides means that Salzburg can be used as a testing ground for Leipzig, and allows them the chance to give younger players a chance before bringing them in for a cut-price fee. However, Haaland will be able to exercise some control over his future and presumably could in fact refuse to join any club but the one he ultimately elects to choose, assuming a transfer fee is agreed.
Bayern moved four points clear at the top of the table but the match was at risk of being cut short in the 77th minute after Bayern fans displayed the banner insulting Hoffenheim investor Dietmar Hopp. The Bayern players and club bosses walked towards the stands and urged their fans to take the banner down.
He has worked on three continents. He was a senior scout for Celtic and played a part in the signing of Virgil van Dijk. He then served as senior player recruiter for Qatar.

He is expected to undergo a medical with Arsenal before completing a loan deal until the end of the season. The 26-year-old Spanish defender - who spent time on loan at Deportivo La Coruna, NAC and Girona before moving to Brazil - would then join on a permanent deal in the summer. A transfer fee of £7.
It is a financial announcement for financial people but is broadcast to anyone who registers for it and the subsequent publicity ensures an image of a club more concerned with what happens off the field rather than on it gains momentum, which has the capacity to fuel resentment in the stands. I must say there's been lots written and talk about the fans before the game and they were unbelievable again," said Solskjaer, who continues to receive backing from those who attend games, even if some who offer judgement on social media are less fulsome in their assessment of the Norwegian.
The Mirror report him as saying: "I play with Cristiano [Ronaldo] in the national team and if I played with Messi, being able to say that I played with the best in history would be a pleasure, but it is a complicated matter. Paper Round’s view: This quote seems mainly to be a player being polite when questioned about his ambitions, and one should not rule out the possibility of Lionel Messi joining Manchester City this summer when he can activate a break clause at Barcelona.
Callum Wilson was in an offside position in the build-up to Sam Surridge's finishBournemouth's rise from the bottom of League Two to become an established Premier League team under Eddie Howe has been a great story in recent years. But that could soon all be over after a run of nine defeats in their past 12 games. Three points off safety - with a worse goal difference and one game left - might seem like a forgone conclusion.

Football is about fans. But the reality for the vast majority of the players, particularly at the highest level, is their income is funded by television money and there are contracts that have to be adhered to. In order for us (the PFA) to be able to protect those players in terms of securing their salaries, if that’s the only offer we have on the table to complete the season, then that is what it will be.
Breidablik will likely win against Fjolnir when it is getting better recently. Specifically, teachers and coaches Milos Milojevic have won the last 4/5 matches, won 3/5 recent matches at home. And Fjolnir has lost the last 3/5 matches away, the last 4/7 matches, did not win the latest 6/9 away matches and did not win the last 6/7 matches.

Much like their hosts at home, Linfield have taken a more subdued approach on their travels. While Cliftonville's explosive efforts have come away from home, Linfield's attacking strength's have tended to come to the fore at home instead of on the road. The visitors have still scored a respectable 16 goals on their travels, though five teams have scored more. Fortunately, Linfield have the best defensive record away from home.
Slonim will host Orsha for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. Of course, both teams have the motivation to get a positive result at the star of the new campaign. I think, this will be a tense match. However, Osha have a more effective attack. In previous game Orsha is won 3-2 against Lida. Also, we have Slonim who's is not very good team in this league. I think, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Also, it should be said, Orsha have better results in the last mutual matches.
Eddie Nketiah bundled home from close range from another Nelson cross to wrap up the victory six minutes after the restart. Pompey's only shot on target came in the second half, with substitute Ronan Curtis' effort saved. I'm really pleased with them [the youngsters]," Arteta told BBC Sport. I'm enjoying working with the players. They deserve a chance. It's always a risk but they're worth the risk.
Wilbraham, playing for his tenth club, will not be known to most fans of the Premier League and nor will Sheffield Wednesday's 19-year-old defender Osaze Urhoghide.

Rooney said he would never have been able to forgive the authorities if anyone in his family had contracted the virus through him. The rest of sport — tennis, Formula One, rugby, golf, football in other countries — was closing down and we were being told to carry on," he added.

With Samp winning 1-0 in both of their victories against the bottom three this season, we expect them to edge out Brescia in this one. The hosts have put together a great record at the back, while Brescia have averaged less than a goal per game this season. Given that form – and with Brescia failing to score in three meetings between these two – a 1-0 home win is our pick.

Lyon in front! Aouar gets to the byline and keeps his cool, sliding a ball for Tousart to strike home. Crucially De Ligt was off the field after Dembele inadvertently caused a cut on his head.
They aren't always welcomed with open arms. Players are catalyst for change'Bhandari was only appointed as Kick It Out's new chair last September, replacing founder Lord Herman Ouseley, who had been in the role for 26 years. But he has already faced criticism from former board member Garth Crooks for not being an ex-player and therefore not understanding the trials some recent professionals have been through.
An eighteen pass move ended when Alexandre Lacazette clipped a through pass into the area to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the penalty area, who coolly slotted his finish past Vicente Guaita.
