TALKING POINT - Yet another golden moment for world football’s golden man Internet leaks claim Messi will be handed a sixth Ballon d’Or on Monday and the great man illustrated why he remains the best in the world with a trademark winner. Barcelona and even for Messi, but the Argentine has made the stupendous mundane.
Playing at Anfield and lifting the Premier League trophy without any fans will be "pretty strange", says Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson. The Reds were top of the table when the season was stopped and require just two wins from the last nine games for their first top-flight title since 1990. The league is hopeful of a June restart having been suspended since 13 March because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Stendel's side has lost their last trio of home ties to St Johnstone, Celtic and their rivals Hibs, with the Jambos failing to score a single goal in those ties- although they've done well not to concede more than twice and have let in an average of 1.5 goals in all home games. However, they were able to smash five past St Mirren at the start of November but have failed to impress upfront since, scoring a measly average of 1.1 times.
Yet Klopp believes his side are still improving. We can do things better and we have to," he said after the win over Sheffield United. In the dressing room there was no party or something. While a first English title since 1989-90 looks a formality, Liverpool still have a way to go to match other great runs in European football.
Sheffield United continue their hunt for a European spot when they welcome Everton to Bramall Lane for Premier League action on Monday night. The Blades, eighth in the table, are no longer in contention for a Champions League place with fourth being eight points away and there being only two rounds to play.
Just before the whistle ended the half they got the luck they needed, as Merida took an air shot at an attempted clearance and allowed Dele Alli to make the deficit manageable. The second half Spurs were a different side and Harry Kane got them level when he slotted home Lucas Moura's pull-back, before Serge Aurier put them in front with a superb half-volley following silky footwork from Alli and a, perhaps inadvertent, flick from Son Hueng-Min.

And the celebrations may have contributed to Bielsa - famed for favouring continuity in team selection - making wholesale changes at Pride Park. It meant an end to Mateusz Klich's 92-game streak of Championship starts and a first league game out of the side since December 2018 for Jack Harrison, as defensive midfielder Pascal Struijk and winger Poveda made their full debuts. That, coupled with lengthy first-half stoppages for injuries to Derby's Tom Lawrence and Leeds' Gaetano Berardi, resulted in a sometimes disjointed game, but the Yorkshire club still had the better of things throughout and were good value for their victory.
New Kick It Out chair Sanjay Bhandari clearly remembers when he encountered "tourist racism". In 2015, he was in the away end at Arsenal with his beloved Manchester United 3-0 down at half-time. Cue a frustrated fellow United supporter pointing towards him and his nephew. How have they got tickets?" the man shouted, using a racist term to describe Bhandari. The same man then turned on other black and south-east Asian fans sat nearby.
Jagiellonia did made only one point, in the recent round, and they still need victory in this one in order to remain at the place for the upper playoff group in the season. They will face bottom team in the league, which has the least points won and which is in the weakest form at the season.
But, in respect of steeling him for the challenge he faced in finally breaking into the Chelsea first team, the previous season - spent on loan at Vitesse in the Netherlands - was just as vital. By 18, Mount had outgrown under-23 football and was desperate for a new challenge. A move to Vitesse - whose relationship with Chelsea has seen them act as a sort of farm club for many of the Premier League side's young players - was agreed.
The 55-year-old said "Sieg Heil", which in German means "hail victory", on the Dutch edition of Fox Sports after a German coach was interviewed by one of the channel's reporters for the De Eretribune show on Sunday. Van Basten apologised later in the programme while Fox said in a statement that the comment was "stupid and inappropriate" and that it had suspended the three-times Ballon d'Or winner until Dec.
Bordeaux will be glad to back at the Matmut Atlantique where they have been imperious so far in the campaign. The home stadium has been where they have picked up most of their recent points with them currently on a run of four consecutive wins there. Sturdy sides like Monaco (2-1) and Nantes (2-0) have been surpassed in the last few weeks but the hosts also showed last week that they can really turn it on when they want to as they thrashed Nîmes 6-0.
Doncaster is also expected to ask similar questions of clubs in Leagues One and Two following their divisional meetings on Wednesday.

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti says "it will be an an emotional moment for me" when he returns to former club Chelsea on Sunday. The Italian spent two seasons at Stamford Bridge, winning the Premier League and FA Cup Double in 2009-10. He was sacked after finishing second in the league in 2010-11. I have fantastic memories from the period I was there. I had two unbelievable seasons and I'm really excited to go back," he said.
Perth Glory and Melbourne City will face each other in the upcoming match in the A League. Perth Glory this season have the following results: 8W, 6D and 4L. Meanwhile Melbourne City have 10W, 3D and 6L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
He said: "That's one thing we have to address. We go up and down too easily, especially away from home. We have to improve. Consistency is what we're striving for. We have to keep working at it and keep plodding away. His side have shown the elements required to have a successful season, once that consistency is found. Now the club just have to convince the fans to return and that this is a start of new, happier era.
This season probably hasn't quite gone as Burton would've liked. Having finished a respectable 9th last term, Nigel Clough and his players would've been hoping to lay down a serious top-six challenge, though that's yet to happen. Make no mistake, the Brewers are still a tough side to face while their position remains a respectable one. After all, they're only six points off the play-off spots.
Vardy's first touch after coming on was to score a penalty after Tyrone Mings' handball, before he smashed in at the near post - his first goal in 10 games. Barnes scored his second from a Marc Albrighton cross. It was a very, very good win. An important win," said Rodgers. The past few games we haven't been at our level. In terms of attacking, we were much better this evening. After the first goal we went on and played very well.
Napoli have appointed Gennaro Gattuso as the Italian club's new head coach following the dismissal of Carlo Ancelotti on Tuesday. Ancelotti was sacked just hours after taking Napoli into the Champions League last 16 with a 4-0 win over Genk. Gattuso, 41, previously managed AC Milan but left the Serie A club at the end of last season. We need to work hard, win back points and come through this tricky period," said Gattuso.
Smolevichy-STI will host Energetyk-BDU for this fixture of the league. Both teams have a poor results in the last matches and I expect another one tough match for both sides. Energetyk showed a better results at the start of the new campaign but they have fallen in their shape. They have three consecutive losses. In previous game Ynergetyk-BDU lost 3-0 against Neman. Also, we have Smolevichy-STI who's is one of the teams of relegation zone. In last game Smolevichy lost 1-3 against Dinamo Minsk. In any case, this will be tense match. Hosts have the motivation to change their positions. My pick - Smolevichy to win.

She won two W-League titles and an NWSL Shield in Australia but failed to win a trophy in the US, with both her seasons in Chicago ending with defeat in the play-offs. I want to win trophies, that's part of the reason why I'm at Chelsea," says Kerr. I've always missed out, it feels like I've lost in the final a million times. That's why I came here - Chelsea needed those extra few pieces to really become a title team and they've been absolutely killing it without me, so my plan is to slide in as easily as I can and hopefully win some trophies with them.
The worrying thing is they don't score goals," former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson told Final Score. The way they set up is probably the way to go with the players they've got. Roy's team try to protect what they've got and then nick goals. He does well with what he's got there, but if you're not scoring you're not going to win games. It's obvious but it's true.

Newcastle United are in good form with only two losses in their last 11 league games. Only one goal has been conceded in the last five and they are scoring a few too, for a change. West Ham had a great win over Chelsea on Wednesday but that was at home. Their away form is one reason why they are still battling against relegation with ten losses in 16 played. Go for Newcastle to maintain their late surge with a home win,
With the gap in class between the teams and Colchester's dearth of quality up front established, we think United are priced generously to win to nil on Wednesday, while our correct score prediction is tipping Solskjaer's men to run out comfortable 3-0 winners.

The paper reports that United will offer a transfer fee of £45 million, plus their own attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard.

For the Martial goal, he was fighting his legs a bit; I don’t know if he’s fully grown into his body. But his legs are incredible – they’re telescopic! He put step-overs in there and put in a fantastic cross into the area. Absolutely incredible. Everybody wants to question him up against Trent Alexander-Arnold, but they’re two completely different full-backs.

The Magpies got a good win on the road too, over Bournemouth, and I think they will get something from this one. Liverpool v Burnley (15:00 BST)With three wins and a draw from their past four games, Burnley are doing brilliantly, especially when you consider how depleted Sean Dyche's squad is. But I see their good run ending when they go to Anfield. Liverpool will find it far harder to break Burnley down than it was against Brighton in midweek, but I think the end result will be the same - a Reds win.
Deloitte says £500m of the reduction for Premier League clubs - in rebates to broadcasters and a loss of matchday revenue - will be "permanently lost", with the remainder "deferred" until 2020-21 if this season and next are completed. Manchester United said last month that the pandemic had already cost them £28m - but they expect the final figure to be far higher. Key findings from Deloitte's annual review of football financeThe Premier League clubs' revenues rose to £5.
Casemiro heads wide with the goalkeeper AWOL. Hazard was through on goal! What an opportunity for the Real Madrid number seven! The pass was played over the top for Hazard, he was clean through, but he scuffed his shot and the save was made. He never looked comfortable. He should have passed! What a chance on the break! Roger had a team-mate completely free to his left, but decided to take the shot on himself from distance.

Pedro's Chelsea ordeal Chelsea's Spanish winger Pedro has explained the difficulties he's having as he lives in England while his family in Spain.
I see huge limitations when I look at Tottenham's midfield at the moment. And, while I have been massively impressed by the impact Jose Mourinho has made in his first few weeks as Spurs boss, it is an area of the team he will have to address in order to continue their upturn in form. While Tottenham still ended up nicking all three points against Wolves on Sunday, they went long periods without having proper possession, or the ability to control the game that comes with it.
It was the two-legged semi-final against Juventus which really captured the imagination. The first leg at Old Trafford saw future Chelsea boss Antonio Conte strike the Italian giants into an early, away-goal lead, before a second-half siege from Sir Alex Ferguson's men finally bore fruit when Ryan Giggs hammered into the roof of the net in the last minute. Juve were favourites in the second leg, even more so when Pippo Inzaghi scored twice in the first 11 minutes.
How have Scottish clubs fared against Romania opponents?"We know Cluj will be highly motivated and, for us, we just want to continue this run of the 12 games in a row," he said. I think it was a tough game over there in the Champions League qualifiers. Celtic's 1-0 win over their Glasgow rivals at Hampden Park secured a 10th successive domestic trophy, with Lennon matching Billy McNeill's record of being the only man in Scottish football history to win all three domestic trophies as both a player and manager at the same club.
Leverkusen's team is fifth place in the league with a record of 17 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, while Munich is leader of the Bundesliga with a record of 21 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses. Analyzing the last 5 games between both teams we have that the Munich has won 3 times and Leverkusen has 2 victories. Leverkusen's coach Bosc has won the last 3 games against Bayern and plans to do so against the upcoming champions. At least it shouldn't end like 1-4 against Wolfsburg in the last home game. Leverkusen can overtake Gladbach and take CL spot if they win. Bayern is 7 points ahead of Dortmund and there is not much in stake for them.
The very fact that you are in professional sport, you need to be very resilient. You need to be able to bounce back because you'll get more setbacks than you will good times, and I would like to think that's how my members are. So it remains in process and we shall just have to wait and see, and look at it on a day by day basis and see if it's achievable. But if we don't try, then it's never going to be achievable.
But they had to work hard for it on Sunday after gifting Everton their two goals through defensive mistakes. I'm really pleased with the performance," Arteta said. It's not easy to play three times in seven days, we got back late from Greece, and then to concede an early goal as well. That asks questions of you. The team reacted really well. This is the reaction I am hoping for when we face disappointment.
Using a slideshow presentation, he then went through how much preparation and analysis he and his staff carry out on each opponent before every game. I feel ashamed to have to tell you all this," confessed Bielsa. Although no other manager went to the lengths of spying on their opposition - or no other manager got caught doing it, anyway - Bielsa wasn't the only boss to do something unusual in the past decade.
