They are second in their group but host leaders Barcelona knowing a win might be needed to reach the last sixteen. Inter are on seven points after five games and only ahead of Borussia Dortmund on goal difference. The Germans host bottom of the group Slavia Prague, though their opponents have drawn at both Barcelona and Inter.
Forest are aiming to build on a great run of late, with three wins in their last four matches in the Championship. The hosts have managed to keep three clean sheets on the bounce while extending that against a Cardiff side who have conceded in 89% of their away trips would set them up for a victory. Meanwhile, they are meeting a side with an awful away record.
Having spent the majority of this prolonged campaign in the bottom three, the end of the season cannot come soon enough. The Canaries depart England's top flight having caused one of the biggest shocks of the season, a 3-2 win over defending champions Manchester City, while Farke's side also held Arsenal and Tottenham at home, and won at Everton. When Jamal Lewis hit the winner against Champions League hopefuls Leicester on 28 February, shortly before the season was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic, Norwich were just four points from safety with 10 games remaining.

Odd finished in the fourth position, failed to play in Europa League qualifiers, they have a point advantage before the last matchday, but lost and dropped to the 4th position. The squad is better and more experience than last season.
Laporte is also left-footed, so he brings proper balance to the team and is such a reassuring presence on the left-side of their defence for whoever gets the nod at left-back - Benjamin Mendy or Oleksandr Zinchenko. He is a physical presence too, for defending set-pieces, and is comfortable when he is left one-on-one, so he is the key to everything, really. If City play with a four-man defence then I would put Nicolas Otamendi next to him as an out-and-out defender to help deal with Benzema, but Guardiola clearly likes Fernandinho at centre-back, so I am not sure who will get the nod - it could be he goes with all three of them.
The hosts may be 12th, but they sit just three points shy of the playoffs, with only five points between these two in the table. While Preston are flying high, they have just eight points from 10 trips as they prepare to meet a Cardiff side who have won 70% of their home games. The hosts are third in the home table as a result, while this seems like the perfect game for them.
This week the French league continues with many exciting matches, including the confrontation between Montpellier vs Dijon. Objectively assessed, Montpellier is showing a high performance . With 4 consecutive victories in every arena, the host is making fans extremely satisfied. Montpellier has returned to the top 6 in Ligue 1 with 30 points earned and the opportunity for them to compete in the top 4 is still. With home advantage, Montpellier is still a team that is more appreciated than Dijon in this match. However, Montpellier was unable to win any of the previous 6 encounters with Dijon. That said their opponent is not a simple team.
Serena Williams has made a strong start to the new year and that record breaking Grand Slam victory might be just a few weeks away. Williams has been in good form all week and was particularly impressive in her semi-final. Pegula hasn't got a great deal of experience of going deep into tournaments on the main circuit with a lot of her success being on the ITF circuit. She has been in good form this week but the tip here is for Williams to beat her 2-0.

Their recent wobble was to be expected, but Swansea are now looking good once again after seeing off Boro. The Welsh side have made great strides with limited resources this season, especially on the road. They’ve lost one of their last 10 away trips, which was a visit to league leaders West Brom.
An arbitration panel appointed by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) found he had terminated his contract and fined him 61,000 euros (£50,701). So Riza appealed, first to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas), then the Swiss Federal Court, and ultimately to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Last month, Riza - who has retired as a player and is now coaching at Watford's academy - heard he had finally won a decade-long legal battle.
The LA Lakers have continued their impressive start to the season and can already start thinking about the postseason play-offs. They can get another win here to go 21-3 for the season. Their opponents have seen their postseason hopes hit of late with three defeats in a row this month. Take the Lakers to win on a -6.5 point handicap.
I think it might have been Andy Carroll’s initial idea. Andy of course, has known George since he was a kid. Paper Round’s view: Footballers are indeed often criticised, but sorting out Ramshaw’s operation now will be a blessing, with a huge amount of demand placed not just on the NHS, but with private resources also being called in as part of the fight against coronavirus.

Borussia Dortmund will host RB Leipzig for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be a very interesting match. Also, I expect, this will be a very tense match. Both sides are one of the ambitious teams in this league. Of course, both teams want to get a positive result. Yeah, Borussia is strong team at home. I expect, the hosts will try to dominate in this game. They tend to score a goal. However, Leipzig are in solid shape. The visitors have a great attack. I think, they will have the potential to fighting for the victory. My pick - Leipzig to win.
Both sides are headed for the exit in the tournament but going to this game, it looks bad for Rosenborg. They have not won any of their last 11 Europa League matches. In this season’s competition, they have lost all five and they head to this game with four losses in five away matches in Europa League. PSV have a good run in Europa League at home; they are unbeaten in the last four, drawing two and winning two. On the back of their home form in the competition, compared to Rosenborg’s we will go for a PSV win. PSV have three clean sheets in four home matches in the competition and Rosenborg have failed to score in four of five away. Also Rosenborg have conceded two or more in four of their last five away matches and based on this, we will go for a 2-0 win for the home team.

Former Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard is the latest Premier League legend to reveal all to Match of the Day's Top 10 podcast. The current Rangers boss retired as a player in 2016 after more than 850 appearances spread over a 19-year career. Gerrard won the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup at Liverpool but a Premier League title eluded him. The 40-year-old said seeing his former side crowned champions recently helped bury a few demons, but admitted it still gave him mixed feelings after missing out on league success himself.
Nkwazi will host Lusaka Dynamos for this fixture of the league. I expect another one tough match for both sides. Both teams are not very good teams in this season. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. Perhaps, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Lusaka Dynamos have a more effective attack than their opponent. However, they are not convincing team. They have only 1 victory in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Nkwazi who's is vulnerable team in recent times. They have a poor results. In last game Nkwazi lost 1-0 against strong Red Arrows. In any case, I expect, the hosts will try to fighting for a positive result. My pick - Nkwazi to win.
Sunderland is coming for the top of the table, they are in great shape with 4 wins from last 5 matches and at home they beat Lincoln 3-1 and then top promotion contender Wycombe with 4-0, on the other side donkey is struggling and it seems like they can't come closer to the playoff zone right now and this game is surely not the best choice for them to try to redempt for some other defeats and who wants to risk I surely recommend to him to go with handicap win on Sunderland,but I will not do it and I stick with this!
Add in the fact many of Lima's opponents were not even born when he made his international debut and you get a sense of the odds he is up against every time he takes to the field. I've played for 23 years and I still feel the same things that I did before the first game," said Lima, 40. Other players have told me there will be a moment when you will not feel anything. But, at the moment, I feel everything.
Racism is an act of betrayal of the club's foundation," Vitoria said. Vitoria does not accept that the good name and image of the club and its supporters to be put into question due to a criminal act which, instead of representing their way of being, feeling and acting, affronts them. The club criticised Liga Portugal for allegedly ignoring Vitoria's condemnation of the Marega incident while simultaneously promoting condemnation from other clubs on the organising body's social media channels.
In a wide-ranging interview with BBC Sport, the minister also said he met the EFL's new chairman Rick Parry this week to discuss ongoing financial concerns in the Football League. Earlier this month the Football Association was criticised for selling the live streaming rights to FA Cup matches to betting firms via a third party. Seven gambling websites were able to show some third round matches exclusively to anyone who placed a bet or put a deposit in their account in the 24 hours before kick-off.
This particular game will end levelled. Both games are good with tackling abilities and therefore will have more tackling abilities. The home team has good tackling abilities as compared to the away team. With the home side leading the away side, they will both fight and defend their points. It is possible they will both score in this game with over 2.5 goals in this game and a correct score of 2-2 or 3-3 will be scored in this match. This game shall result levelled at the end of the game. To be more save stake on the overs and you will win.
Chelsea are in top form at the moment and are only a point behind the league leaders with a game in hand. They are unbeaten in the league and have already had two wins over their opponents this season. Manchester United's form has dipped in recent weeks and only two of their last five league games have been won. Chelsea aren't just scoring lots but are keeping clean sheets too. Back them to win this match.
Celtic boss Neil Lennon is a "special manager and special man," says Virgil van Dijk, whom he helped develop into one of the world's finest defenders. The Dutchman was a raw 21-year-old full of potential when Lennon took him from FC Groningen to Celtic in 2013. The Liverpool centre-back's rise since has been startling - but he believes it would not have been possible without Lennon. I enjoyed every bit of working under him," Van Dijk told BBC Scotland.
Difficult but the odds are high and here when the Dundee will play at home against the Queen of South I'm going to try this DNB for the guests. The game will be played for the Championship and the team has 21 points after 14 games and is 4 in the standings. But they have lost both the last 2 games played and for this reason everything is possible here. The guests are disadvantaged but of the last 4 games played they have lost only 2 and that's why I think that after a balanced game the away team will be able to win.
Jan Vertonghen scored a dramatic late winner as Tottenham ended Wolves' 11-match unbeaten Premier League run to narrow the gap on the top four with victory at Molineux. Vertonghen headed in from a corner in injury time, after Wolves' relentless approach had been rewarded as Adama Traore thumped in a deserved equaliser from the edge of the box midway through the second half. Following a breathless opening period, Lucas Moura's mazy run and exquisite finish into the roof of the net had put Tottenham ahead after eight minutes.
Four years, four seasons. Buying one of the best goalkeepers in the world, buying one of the best centre-backs in the world and so on and so on and so on. I'm focused on my three-year contract. I believe that in my three-year contract we can win trophies. If we don't, but the club does it in the new era if I stay here only for three years, I will be happy with that. Tottenham spent more than £100m last summer, including on record buy Tanguy Ndombele, who has made just two substitute appearances since the restart, but also endured a string of injuries to key players earlier this season.
It's been an issue and now we have another bulk," Lampard told reporters when asked why Chelsea have struggled. There are no fresh returns from the injury list. Andreas Christensen has got a small issue which we are going to give another 24 hours, but probably puts him in out of the game. Other than that we have no Tammy Abraham, no Pulisic, no Hudson-Odoi and no Kante.
This Saturday's game at Los Carmenes is certainly a must win for Atleti though with a clash against Barca next up, and Simeone's side should secure the points based on the difference in quality between the sides and Granada's recent results.

They are seventh in the table, two places and a point above visitors Dinamo Brest. Their weekend fixture resulted in a 1-1 draw at FC Slutsk, that makes it two stalemates in a row, four in the last five and five for the season. The game looked to be heading for a draw but then Slutsk took an 81st minute lead.
Macclesfield is very interesting team because they are in bottom part of the table and not so far away from the relegation zone but when they are playing at home it seems like impossible task to beat them and they listed only once at home the škole season but I think second defeat is coming for them tonight because on the other hand,Crewe is one of the best teams in the league right now on third place on the table and one of the top contenders for the promotion so I think their great offense Will carry them to the victory
The document states that clubs, players and coaches should be encouraged to work together to agree on salary reductions and deferrals. Yet they should consider the alternative, where possible, that agreements between clubs and employees are suspended when teams are not playing or training. It is also recommended that FIFA use its newly-created 'Fund for Professional Players' to help ease any difficulties that clubs are facing.
