More than seven weeks after they were supposed to meet, Barcelona and Real Madrid go head to head at the Nou Camp on Wednesday in a match that looks set to decide who leads La Liga at Christmas. Both teams started the season poorly but have improved significantly over the past few weeks, and they go into the midweek showdown - which was postponed from 26 October because of independence protests in Barcelona - level on points at the top of the table.
Infantino has not yet gone into further details and some may question his credentials in this matter: as FIFA president he has increased the World Cup from 32 to 48 teams and, in a previous role as UEFA general secretary, oversaw growing financial inequality in European football. But, putting that aside, what might such a future look like? Recent talks and meetings have provided some clues as to what the future could hold.
Barnsley has a poor form it has lost to teams that are struggling 21st placed Middlesbrough , Blackburn 17th placed, 23rd stoke , 19th Huddersfield while their opponent has a good record of 8 undefeated games of their last Away encounters in all completions and they have only lost to high ranking team such as west brom, Fulham and 12 th. Placed QPR, looking at all this I find BARNSLEY totally inferior playing against Hull city and this concludes a straight win for hull. Also the last season they met Hull city won away and draw at home, Barnsley has also lost all their last three championship matches
It's home form that has led to a good start to the season for Isloch Minsk. They are yet to pick up a point on their travels and six out of nine league games have been played on home soil. They need to keep coming up with the goods at home then but this won't be easy against Energetik. The away side started well, went into a slump but have picked up again with three wins in a row. A bet on both teams to score is the best bet here.
Last month, the club received notice of a change in ownership at ESI, something the club called a "positive step" in a statement. A few days later former Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins confirmed he was interested in buying the club, but Nimer has instead accepted the offer from Manchester-based Elliott's group. It is understood Southall has no connection with the new consortium, although he is also based in the north-west.

However, a return to action still depends on the government's five tests being met, especially an increase in testing, and meeting social distancing guidelines. What are the five tests?It also hinges on the conclusions reached by regular cross-sport meetings of senior medical officials discussing the health protocols for competing behind closed doors, which are set to start this week. The BBC reported on Saturday how the government has plans for a series of these meetings to help elite sport resume.
But there is another link between Mourinho and that number that he didn't mention - the Portuguese tends to last no more than three seasons at a club. Whether you think his 'third-season syndrome' is a thing or a myth, he's only made it to a fourth campaign once - in his first spell with Chelsea. When Spurs were knocked out of the Champions League by RB Leipzig, it looked to some as though he had fast-tracked things.
Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has confirmed captain Harry Kane will start Friday's Premier League home match against Manchester United (20:15 BST). The striker, 26, has not played since a hamstring tear against Southampton on 1 January which required surgery, but has regained full fitness during lockdown. He is working extremely well, I can tell you no problem he is going to start the game," Mourinho said.
He has a talent for receiving the ball. He was at the base of our midfield, did everything perfectly. The minute we changed it and put him higher up, he instantly changed, took on board the information and did brilliantly as well. Chelsea are currently fourth in the Premier League but only have an eight-point lead over 10th-placed Arsenal, having played a game more than their London rivals and Lampard believes there is plenty of time left in the race for a Champions League berth.

Roberts is contracted to South African side Stormers but returned to Wales after the Super Rugby season was suspended due to the outbreak. The 33-year-old, who graduated as a doctor, will work as a clinical innovation fellow during his temporary assignment with the Cardiff and Vale Health board. Although I've never worked clinically, I just thought I could lend an extra pair of hands and an extra brain into helping solve the challenge," Roberts told the Welsh Rugby Union website.
Leicester's impressive season continued with a dominant win at Newcastle that keeps them second and inflicts a third straight defeat on Steve Bruce's side, who played almost the whole second half with 10 men following a string of injuries. The Foxes, without the division's leading goalscorer Jamie Vardy for the second successive game, took the lead through Ayoze Perez, who kept his cool to finish well against his former side after being gifted possession by a horror pass from Florian Lejeune.

Christmas in CopenhagenIt's 6 December, 2015 and Leicester are two points clear at the top of the Premier League after winning 3-0 at Swansea.

Paris St-Germain forward Neymar says he is "training hard" to be ready for whenever there is a return to playing. Football in France was suspended on 13 March and PSG were awarded the Ligue 1 title after the season was ended early because of the coronavirus crisis. But PSG remain in the Champions League, which Uefa still hope can be completed. The aim is to be ready for when they signal the return of club activities, so I can be in the best possible condition," said Neymar.
Incredible season so far from Leicester with some resemblance to the incredible campaign that they made a few years ago when they won the Premier League against all expectations. Leicester is currently in the 2nd place with Jamie Vardy playing at a great level and scoring goals in almost every game. On this match they will travel to Aston Villa, a team that only won one of the last five games and on this contest we have to go with Leicester to continue the good run of form and get another victory with great value on their 1x2 bet here.
From the previous matches the two teams will play at full strength in the first round and the second round runs during this match From previous matches both teams can always score in the first half and the second half runs during match time .. I predict the away team and the home team will play with the final score over goals in this match... I predict the score for this match is over 3 goals at the last minute of the game running... for the prediction of this ball score is 2-1 or 3-0 in the final round... hopefully this prediction can benefit us all
Almost 12 months ago, twenty-four BBC TV and radio pundits made their predictions for the Premier League season, picking their champions and their top four. Sounds easy? Far from it. None of them got it exactly right. Although eight pundits correctly picked Liverpool as champions, only Ruud Gullit got all four teams - and they were all in the wrong order. Matthew Upson deserves applause for getting three out of the four in their correct positions and another 10 pundits included three correct picks overall.
That's a myth, I'm afraid," Parkes said. Most of the time I was listening to what was going on in the other box, which never happens in a normal game. But I do remember talking to one of our apprentices, who was stood behind the goal, in a quiet moment. We actually had all of the youth players spaced around the ground, in every stand. We only had one ball and there was no-one else to get it back when it went in there.
The performances of both point towards goals, there can be no getting away from that fact. 'Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score' appears to be a reasonable option for those looking to get involved. Arsenal, who have both scored and conceded in six out of seven at home, have scored plenty on their own patch, but have struggled massively to keep clean sheets, which is why there's been an average of 3.29 goals at the Emirates this season. If we combine the goals conceded by Arsenal at home and Brighton on the road, then we also arrive at an average of 3.29. Moreover, Brighton are the second-worst team in the division when it comes to shots on target conceded on the road, while Arsenal are the third-worst Premier League outfit in terms of shots on target conceded at home.
St Etienne come into this game having only won two out of seven home league games. It's not an easy place to go and get a win though as only Metz have beaten them in the league this season. Four of their seven home league games have ended in a draw. There haven't been that many goals being scored though with 13 in those seven matches and five out of seven have had under 2.

Flamengo have been in great form for months now and easily won Serie A in Brazil. They come into this game in better form than their opponents who have struggled at times. River Plate are the holders but they face a tough task against a side in form and scoring lots of goals (15 in their last six). Go for Flamengo to get the win in this game.
There will also be drinks breaks "lasting no longer than one minute" midway through each half, with the time added to the end of each half, and warm-downs can take no longer than 25 minutes.

VAR will also resume, with extra rooms used in the VAR Hub for social distancing.
Lawro's prediction: 2-1Al's prediction: I think Norwich will come out fighting but I would back Saints to win it. Tottenham v Man Utd (20:15 BST)It is going to be interesting to see how Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer puts his team together now he has players back fit. Earlier in the season, he was having to mix and match in midfield but now he has Paul Pogba back to play alongside Bruno Fernandes and they are both players of real quality.
Even the big clubs will be looking at salary caps, and recruiting within certain levels and saying they won't be dictated to by the markets any more. If this can happen once it can happen again. The knock-on effect of that, according to Burnley's technical director Mike Rigg, is that the market will become more cautious. There's always an article somewhere screaming out 'who cares what it costs, just give them what they want and get the player'," he tells BBC Sport.

He was regarded by many as a success at Hull City despite taking them down into the Championship, winning eight of his 22 games but not one away from home. Silva quickly left for Watford but, after a good start there, appeared distracted by Everton's advances and was sacked in January 2018 after winning only one of his last 11 league games - with the Hornets pointing the finger of blame firmly in the direction of Goodison Park.
Dundee also criticised the "disappointing and and regrettable actions of two Championship clubs" to reveal their voting intentions, after that news emerged on Saturday. Dundee's voting slip, signed by managing director John Nelms, though the SPFL say they only received it after being told to ignore any Dundee submission"It was then that we decided to put our foot on the ball and pause," the statement read.
On TV it appears to go straight in but from the moment I connected with it, it looked to me like it was going to go wide. Then it shifted to the left a bit and I was thinking it was going to hit the post - then it came inside a bit more and suddenly I was thinking 'it's going in… it's going in!'It took a while to actually cross the line and creep into the corner but in the end it was perfect, just perfect.

I am really not great at predicting games from Israel, especially the second league level, I try to think them logically but always get them wrong, still will give it one more try but usually my bankroll goes down quite quick when I bet on goals in this league. Main reason for the over 3.5 goals bet is that they met during the normal season in the second part of the season in January this year here and the score was just 2-2, and the guests have no reason to defend, it is their best chance to get closer to the 2nd spot.

For us, we just have to do what we're told and get on with the game if the authorities think that's what we should do. We are going to have to create our own atmosphere within the team, within the game. They are used to training with no spectators anyway and we do have some behind-closed-doors friendlies at times. I am in no doubt that my players are focused and ready to perform, even if there are no spectators there.
He had a good record in winning Serie A three times with Inter Milan and a decent one at Fiorentina and Lazio but was unproven in the Premier League. While in the hole, why not keep digging?"Time will tell if this is a wise move or a designer-manager decision by a hierarchy simply keen to have a bigger, more high-profile, name on the door. Time did tell. Mancini guided City to their first major trophy in 35 years when they won the FA Cup in 2011, then their first title in 44 years with that Sergio Aguero moment in 2012.
Hopefully, the midweek games will take place as ninth placed Brighton and Hove Albion host Manchester United who are fourth in the table. Brighton have 12 points and that has them six points above the bottom spot that would relegate them. That sounds good but the problem is that they have played 14 fixtures and the bottom two both have two games in hand on them and 10th placed Birmingham have three.
Freiburg is ranked 8th in the Bundesliga with 42 points, less than the top 6 - the group that qualifies for the European Cup - 4 points. To continue to compete in this group, Freiburg must win when taking on Hertha Berlin in round 32. However, experts do not trust the ability of the Schwarzwald-Stadion team to win.
We have, from studies over the years, seen there are elevated risks for anxiety and different psychological problems for players compared to the general population because it's a tense and precarious employment for most of them and (this) makes it worse. Football around the world has been brought to a standstill by the pandemic with domestic leagues put on hold and the Euro 2020, Copa America and Olympic soccer tournaments postponed for one year.
Real Madrid come into this game knowing that a win will be enough to secure them qualification to the knockout stages once again. That is not a formality with PSG looking in fantastic form in the Champions League this season and the Spaniards will have to work hard to claim a result. Madrid have found things a little difficult so far this season and this could be a trend that continues into matchweek five.
