TOP HEADLINES The Warm-Up: Just cancel football MONDAY'S STORIES 10:00 - Cavani set for Atleti move? Reports across the continent claim that Edinson Cavani is set to move to Atletico Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain. The Uruguayan will become a free agent in the summer and it is yet to be revealed whether he will move in January or at the end of the season, but he is said to have signed a three-year contract with the Spanish capital club.
Rod Stewart v The Green BrigadeHoop-on-hoop aggravation started in November when the fans group let off flares in the home Europa League game against Lazio, thereby guaranteeing a Uefa sanction. Rod was exasperated and criticised the supporters for it in print. Cut to December and revenge time. When the singer put a message out on social media congratulating Boris Johnson for winning the UK election, the Green Brigade saw their chance.
Atleti are on course to qualify from their Champions League group and are only six points off the top spot in La Liga. Simeone has won seven titles at the Spanish club and has taken Los Colchoneros to two Champions League finals. No offence to Everton, but there are bigger clubs that could attract El Cholo, including Arsenal and Bayern Munich who are both managerless at the time of writing.
It seems quite impossible at the moment that Manchester City will be able to win the title again after a couple of poor results lately and with Liverpool playing at such a good level and winning pretty much every match they played so far this season. Nevertheless, the Citizens should keep winning to put pressure on their rivals and on this match we expect a good win from them at home against Everton and for that reason, we will take Man City to cover the -1.5 Asian Handicap as the best line to bet on this contest here against Everton.
Heerenveen and Den Haag will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eredivisie. Heerenveen this season have the following results: 7W, 8D and 8L. Meanwhile Den Haag have 4W, 5D and 14L.

OB is the visiting team to this match, 9th in the league with 30 points to date. Ob haven't won any of their last 6 games in any competition. AGF is 3rd in the league standings, but they could fall considerably if they fail to take the three points.
La Blaugrana are second in the table, three points behind bitter rivals Real Madrid. Betis, meanwhile, have the quality (and the time) to stake a claim for a European place but currently lie 12th in the table. This will be the first time they line up against former coach Quique Setien since he stepped down from his managerial post at the end of last season.
Arsenal are the only remaining Barclays FA Women's Super League side in the competition after City's early defeat, but with a third side likely to enter once the changes are made, there will be more chance of a first English winner of the competition since the Gunners in 2007. The news will be particularly welcomed by Chelsea, who, despite reaching the semi-finals of the competition last year, did not qualify for this year's edition after finishing the 2018/19 WSL season in third place.

Mlada is quite poor after the restart and with the football they are performing at this moment they really stand no chance of finishing inside the top 6 places or to play once more in the Europa League like they did at the start of this season, they lost 1-0 at home to Slavia Prague, just 1-0, and lost 7-1 away at Plzen their second game while last round they barely managed a 1-1 draw at home with really modest Zlin side to complete their misery and now they face in form Liberec and should be well beaten.
There's Andi Thomas on Warm-Up duty, chatting about many things including Ryan Sessegnon "battering the ball past Manuel Neuer at 200 miles an hour", and our lovely set of stories in today's Paper Round.

Of course, you’ve probably got one eye on that election nonsense, but we’re here to provide a glorious distraction.
It was a bitter blow for the visitors after putting in a battling display at Goodison Park, but ultimately they paid the price for failing to show similar fight in previous games this season. A promising start to 2019-20, in which they lost only three of their first 11 games, proved to be a false dawn. But their form nosedived and a run of 19 defeats in their last 25 games meant they plummeted into trouble.
What next in Hearts & Thistle legal case?Dundee Utd, Raith & Cove request for financial help may be 'divisive'"We are incredulous to have received a Notice of Complaint from the SFA in the circumstances," their joint statement said. It is oppressive of them to require submissions from both clubs by 20 July when we are, in terms of their own articles of association, actively engaged in arbitration. As our focus must be squarely on that, we have already requested the SFA to review the timing to allow us to be properly prepared and represented.

Newcastle United had goalkeeper Martin Dubravka to thank as they climbed to 10th spot in the table following a tense but scoreless draw with Norwich City at St. James's Park on Saturday. Despite being bottom of the table, the visitors came out all guns blazing, playing much of the opening 45 minutes in the Newcastle half and forcing Dubravka into two fine first-half saves to keep the scoreline level.
They are also unbeaten in the last four home matches, having scored at least thrice in three of the four. In their seven matches in the Europa League this season, they have lost just once, away to Sporting Braga and while they were a bit shaky away from home, it was completely different in Austria. They won each of their group games and are unbeaten, with straight wins in their last five Europa League games at home.

Salah: Two goals against an outclassed Brighton has put Salah back in contention for the coveted Golden Boot award. At the moment the trophy is contested by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Jamie Vardy, Danny Ings and Salah. The Egypt international looked desperate to get his hat-trick against the Seagulls and should have done when he missed a sitter in the final minutes. Liverpool played this game as though the title was still at stake.

The country is on the cusp of the NHS’ greatest challenge, and football clubs are arguing the toss about whether their league win is official or not. It is hard to think that discussion will matter for the foreseeable future. Read the full story Grand National to be cancelled The Sun on Sunday follows up the Cheltenham Festival with the news that the Grand National is set to be cancelled, according to local MP Bill Esterton.
West Ham manager David Moyes says he would like to build "something really special" at the club - if he is given the opportunity to do so. The Scot, 56, returned for a second spell at London Stadium on 30 December on an 18-month deal following Manuel Pellegrini's dismissal. Time in football management is not something we get anymore," said Moyes. I hope the owners will see I have a vision of where I want it to go and how I want to transform West Ham.
Media playback is not supported on this device Watch: Firmino’s stoppage-time goal sends Liverpool to the final In that way, they remind me of Manchester United teams of old, who would almost beat you in tunnel before the game kicked off. Psychologically, that is a huge advantage. It is all part of the aura really great teams have. I've played against sides who have it, and even if you go a goal up, you are thinking they will come back and wondering how you can hold on.
Chelsea fought back to beat 10-player Reading as Sam Kerr marked her greatly anticipated debut in the Women's Super League with a classy assist in an eventful game at Kingsmeadow. The Australia striker set up the hosts' equaliser with a perfectly weighted backheel into the path of Beth England to draw Chelsea level, before Guro Reiten's brilliant lob and Erin Cuthbert's close-range finish gave Chelsea an ultimately comfortable victory.
The close-season signing from Lyon made little impact on the opening 45 minutes as Burnley dominated the midfield and was part of a double change at the break with Spurs trailing to a Chris Wood goal. The introduction of Giovani Lo Celso and Lucas Moura at the interval for Ndombele and 19-year-old Oliver Skipp saw Spurs deliver a much-improved performance and get a point thanks to a Dele Alli penalty.
Chelsea have won their last seven league and cup games. Chelsea have scored 21 goals in their last four league matches. Manchester United have no wins in their last three league and cup fixtures..

Richards joined Fiorentina in 2014 on a season-long loan for a fee of £3. At the time he left City, aged 26, he was the club's longest-serving playerDoing my research on FiorentinaMoving to Italy was exciting, but sad at the same time. I had never really wanted to leave City because they were my club and I loved them so much, they were like a family to me - but at the same time I wanted to play and I had to do what was right for my career.
Steve Bruce's men appeared to be cruising to the last 16 of the competition thanks to first-half goals by Sean Longstaff and Joelinton, who was then almost immediately forced off with a hip injury, but two stunning strikes from the League One outfit in the dying stages turned the game on its head. A beautiful curling free-kick from Liam Kelly gave Oxford a fighting chance and deep into added time Nathan Holland's sumptuous volley sent a fascinating game into extra-time.

Let's get started by recapping a few of the top stories on this subject. Manchester City have issued a statement criticising Kyle Walker following newspaper reports that the England star had a sex party during lockdown Wayne Rooney believes Premier League footballers have been made out to be "scapegoats" by UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock and the Premier League Wayne Rooney 'told off by police for breaking coronavirus lockdown rules by meeting friend Kyle Walker' Reminders from the papers that Aston Villa star Jack Grealish also had to issue an apology for ignoring his own social distancing advice First to recap Rooney's quotes over the weekend to provide balance from the negative reports on footballers in the tabloids.
Mirandes eliminated Sevilla and Celta Vigo in the last two rounds and carrying a 10-match unbeaten run, they will hope to hold off Villarreal as much as possible. They have six wins and four clean sheets in the last 10 matches and three of their wins in their last 10 matches have come in extra time. Mirandes have lost just one of their last 15 matches.
A stepover and he's gone clipping back a cross that Jimenez takes beautifully before Cruyff-turning away form Williams only to dribble a shot straight at Romero from bang in front of the posts. GOAL! Manchester United 0-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers (Neto) Awful from Fred, the most careless player in the world.
He didn't, but the opener did come when Odsonne Edouard fired a shot at Joel Pereira, which the goalkeeper simply parried to Ntcham rather than divert wide. The midfielder finished calmly to reinforce his recent impact. You feared the worst for Hearts but they began to create chances with Celtic increasingly sloppy and the formation switch looking effective. They ought to have been punished though before half-time when Edouard slipped Leigh Griffiths in, but the striker misfired and hit the side netting.
Daniel Levy. Mauricio PochettinoGetty Images Paper Round’s view: Such a figure is not prohibitive to any of Pochettino, Arsenal or United, but there is always scope for further negotiation, because if the choice is £12. Levy and Spurs would probably be persuaded to reduce their demands a little. Ed Woodward, meanwhile, is known to prefer players and managers with easily resolved contracts, so this may encourage him in any approach.
Asked if that put Lennon up there with McNeill among the club's greats, McGregor said: "Yeah definitely - as you said, there's not too many in that category, so it shows just how good a manager he is, the calibre that he's got. He's a born winner. He demands from the players every single day. Even this morning in the warm-up, he was on the players to do it properly. So it shows his mentality and his winning mentality and that's rubbing off on the group as well.
In second are LASK Linz, also on seven points and they travel to Rosenborg who are bottom without a single point. Sporting have won both of their home games in this group with a 2-1 win over LASK and a 1-0 victory over Rosenborg. Their final group game is away to LASK, so they face a battle to keep their top spot.
Still, fair or not, this was another grim evening for Chelsea, who haven’t won in four and who a few months ago were comfortably clear in the Champions League places, ten points ahead of Manchester United. Now, they have only a one point buffer to fifth, and are only three in front of United. And as an added quirk from this game, United’s win meant that Liverpool have officially qualified for the 2020/21 Champions League, in February, the day before the 2019/20 Champions League knockout stages start.
This is the 30th day of Prva Liga, the football championship of Montenegro, where Iskra will welcome Sutjeska. Iskra sit 3rd place and collected a total number of 47 points meanwhile Sutjeska sit 2nd place and collected a total number of 52 points. So, it is a clash of top teams of the standings. FK Iskra enters this match with three wins after their first three home matches where 2 of the 3 matches have gone over 2.5 goals per game. Sutjeska comes with a 3-3 result and a 2-0 defeat in their first two away games. In this game I pick draw. The home factor and the power of Iskra makes me try this bet.
I would still back them to beat Watford though, because the Hornets have lost all of their momentum. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Simon's prediction: Chelsea are still a work in progress - we saw that when they lost to West Ham on Wednesday - but they have got so many talented players and they are beginning to show signs of that toughness they need to see games out. SUNDAY Burnley v Sheff Utd (12:00 BST)Both of these sides still have an eye on a European spot for next season.
CSM Politehnica Lasi would be facing FCSB this evening in Romania Liga 1 games. CSM Politehnica Lasi are unbeaten in their previous last 2 home matches. They have scored at least one goal in their last 2 home matches. FCSB have won their last 5 away matches, and they have equally scored at least one goal in their previous last 7 matches. FSCB has also scored 1 goal in their last 5 away games. The match between this two teams is very strong and tough, for me the final results for this match could be a draw or a win for the visiting team.
The first fell out of the number of applicants for the European Cup next season, although it is possible temporarily, because the distance is still pretty decent, and there are still enough matches, but I'm not sure that they are very pleased with the coaching staff of Valencia. The hosts need points to continue the fight for the Europa League, while the guests, having secured themselves from relegation, no longer claim to be anything. In the last game against Real Madrid, the “bats” looked very good and the score, in my opinion, was not in the game. In addition, Valencia plays very well against Osasuna in their field - in the last 12 personalities on the Valencia field, guests only once managed to catch a draw.
