Swiss prosecutors have launched legal proceedings against Fifa president Gianni Infantino. It is in relation to an alleged secret meeting the head of world football's governing body held with the Swiss attorney general Michael Lauber. Lauber last week offered to resign after a court said he covered up the meeting and lied to supervisors during an investigation by his office into corruption surrounding Fifa.
Wilfried Zaha is "so set on leaving" Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson says. The 27-year-old Ivory Coast forward was linked with moves to both Everton and Arsenal last summer. However, a deal failed to materialise and Hodgson says the speculation impacted on the player this season. It's obviously affected him because his form in the last few weeks has really been quite poor considering what he is capable of doing," Hodgson said.
What will happen to the new season?The majority of clubs who voted to end the season in the Championship and Leagues One and Two did so to get some clarity so they can plan and move forward for the next term. The issue, one month on, is that there is no certainty the new league campaign will start as planned on 1 August. SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan said last week Scottish football "must do everything humanly possible" to return by the end of July, but is that even feasible?The game in Scotland is suspended until at least 10 June, with the SFA's chief medical consultant Dr John MacLean suggesting an estimated six weeks of training is needed before players can return to action.
The hosts have claimed four home wins this season, with all four of those coming against the current bottom four. All eight of their league wins have come against the bottom eight. Above that, their record is played 11, lost six. The fact that three of their last four opponents are in the top seven should really worry the home side.
Tottenham travel to West Ham who have slipped down the table to 16th. This was a match between two struggling sides but it's now turned into the return to the Premier League of Jose Mourinho. The sometimes special one is back and this time in charge of Tottenham. He has a hectic start to his time with the club with this Premier League London derby followed by a Champions League game.
Both teams scored in three of Maritimo’s last five matches and both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in Boavista’s last two matches, so you can see why we have backed a final scoreline of 2-1 this weekend. Maritimo have only won once at home this season and Boavista have only lost once on the road, which is why we have gone with a double chance bet in favour of the visitors this weekend.

After his short spell at Blackburn Rovers ended in September 2018, Whittingham returned to live in south Wales - as it was with Cardiff where he felt most at home, on and off the field. Starting his career on the left wing before moving to the right and then into central midfield, Whittingham compensated for his lack of pace with a magical left foot. His pinpoint set-piece delivery and thunderous long-range shooting earned him a place in the Villa youth team which beat an Everton side featuring Wayne Rooney in the 2002 FA Youth Cup final.
There have been so many crazy decisions. Sometimes it works but you see fans celebrating VAR like it’s a goal – football shouldn’t be like that. The emotions the West Ham fans showed when we equalised was real emotion. We’re all not happy with it but it’s in the game now so we’ve got to get on with it.
Son flew to South Korea for personal reasons, while Bergwijn returned to the Netherlands ahead of the birth of his child. Tottenham said both forwards will continue their individual rehabilitation and training programmes during their time away.

Having occupied an automatic promotion place for a large part of the last campaign, Portsmouth would've wanted to go into Christmas in a lofty position. That isn't the case, but after a shaky start, Kenny Jackett's men have rallied and are now within striking distance of the top six.
I see at least three goals in this match from Belorussia and that is pretty ok and real for me, but we will see what will happen. So, Dinamo Brest is interesting team who is played very interesting two duels against this rival last year. In first one, they are played more than dominate and beat this rival even 5-1 at home and in next match, it was just 1-1. We will see what will happen this time, but over is very real for me. This is cup match and teams will be relaxed, that is pretty clear. Odds are good.
Saka has been directly involved in 10 goals in all competitions for Arsenal this season (three goals and seven assists) - only Gabriel Martinelli (13) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (17) have been involved in more for the Gunners in 2019-20. There were 22 passes in the build up to Saka's opener for Arsenal involving all 10 outfield players.

Ntcham dallied needlessly outside his own area, the ball was fed to N'Doye and from around 10 yards, on an angle, his finish was true off the inside of Forster's right-hand post. Suddenly the home side were level and totally re-energised. Callum McGregor then blasted over from just outside the box when he had Christie to his right and Edouard to his left, Copenhagen's cover stretched to the limit. Had his decision making been better, Celtic's lead would surely have been restored.
The Saints simply couldn't cope with his pace. While Saint-Maximin was carving his way through the Southampton defence, Dwight Gayle was missing chances set up by the Frenchman with alarming regularity. In the end Saint-Maximin decided to do it all himself and created his own chance. Southampton's Yann Valery. Why the defender needed two touches and more time to clear the danger than it takes VAR to check an offside I don't know.
Gambling no longer controls what I do. If I hadn't got myself clean, I'd either be dead or in jail. I can put my hand on heart and say that. I was at my rock bottom. In recent seasons, the SFA has banned players and club officials for breaches of the rules and Hartson believes gambling is "huge across the board". Gambling is a serious problem and if people don't get hold of it they will end up in one place," he added.

Of those passes, 20 were in the Hornets half, but he maintained the same accuracy with those ballsCrouch: "Pogba has got great vision, but it is the effect he has on his team-mates that means he is such a dangerous weapon. The players in front of him know that he is looking for them, which means they keep making runs. I know what it's like as a striker when the pass does not come - I remember being in teams with players who never tried it.
Video - United and Liverpool go to war over centre-back – Euro Papers01:18 "We are all living a life that we were not used to and that will change us profoundly. I'm sure we will all have to downsize, starting with football," he suggested. I hear talk about cutting salaries, suspension of payments. They seem like inopportune solutions.
Ian Baraclough remains the front-runner to replace Michael O'Neill as Northern Ireland senior manager. The Englishman was appointed by O'Neill as Under-21s boss and offers the continuity that the IFA is looking for. It is believed the representatives of the successful candidate were contacted on Friday to sort out terms and conditions of the contract. Baraclough is the favourite to pip the other four candidates, who are all from Northern Ireland, for the job.
Fiorentina have scored in nine of their 13 away matches. Fiorentina have four wins in 13 Serie A away matches. Lazio are unbeaten in 11 home matches. Lazio have scored at least two in their last four matches. Fiorentina have three away clean sheets in 13 Serie A matches. Lazio’s title challenge in Serie A took a heavy dent on Wednesday as they lost 3-2 to Atalanta in the 27th round of matches.
However, a senior source has told the BBC there is merit in the proposals and they could be used as a template that can be amended slightly to gain support from clubs and countries alike. The ECA is trying to increase both the size and scope of what will be three European competitions by 2024 as many clubs outside the major leagues feel they do not get enough games. Europe's five most high-profile domestic leagues - in England, Spain, Italy, France and Germany - are providing all 16 teams for the knockout stages of this season's Champions League; it is the first time that has happened in the competition's history.
Will take a rather cautious bet here in this one but really no need to with the hosts coming from being 2-0 behind last round in the second half away at Vozdovac in a game where I bet on both teams scoring and they won it with 3-2 in the end so morale has to be good on their side but Mladost won both games after the winter break with 2-1 both times so over 2.5 goals covered in both their games so far, and are with good morale as well.
City may find themselves turning from the hunter to the hunted in the transfer market - especially if the charisma and prestige of Guardiola were to no longer be a factor. For now, City's spending will be focused on their legal team as they take the fight to UEFA and attempt to get the ban overturned or substantially reduced.
Having led Manchester City women's team since its reformation in 2014, Cushing has won six trophies, including two FA Cup triumphs and the 2016 WSL title. The 35-year-old has decided to take on a new challenge in Major League Soccer alongside newly-appointed head coach Ronny Deila at New York City -- another club in City Football Group's portfolio.
But with a new wave of hundred-million signings in Neymar and Kylian Mbappe coming through, the age of the duopoly was coming to an end. Within six months, Ronaldo had left Real Madrid for Juventus to bring the end to La Liga's greatest individual battle, with Croatia's performance at the World Cup crowning Luka Modric as the Ballon d'Or winner.
Last season Volna had not played well and had an average season - as a result, the team finished only the 12th in the table of the 1.Division, having managed only 3 points more than Smorgon. Volna also did not disdain productive football - an average of 2.8 goals was scored per match. Volna tied with a 0-0 score against Slonim and they will aim for a win. It seems to me that in this match both teams has the similar possibility to snatch the victory because Smorgon’s defense cannot flaunt much. It seems to me that it is worth betting that this match will end in draw. Both teams are some of the outsiders of the 1.Division. Betting on the draw is the wisest option to me.
Indeed, without the passion of fans to bring home what it means locally, will it have any feel of a true derby fixture?I'm hopeful that to a decent extent it will, with all on both sides well aware of the extra significance of any meeting between the clubs - and the millions upon millions watching worldwide. Perhaps the fact that Liverpool can't secure the title by winning the game helps? The focus outside the city is not only on them but back on the occasion itself.
Hamburger won their last game against when after three game winless streak. They are currently third place but have an opportunity to climb second place after Stuttgart draw their last game against Osnabruck by beating holstein Kiel. Holstein Kiel have won only once in their last seven games but are safe since they are eight points above relegation places. Hamburger are the best attacking side that has scored a total of 55 goals the highest in the league and have experienced coach dieter hecking who uses attacking strategy. With only five games left it's a must win for the hosts.
Fellow academy products Williams and Greenwood both enhanced their reputations, the left-back making marauding runs up and down pitch and winning the penalty, contributing five interceptions, while striker Greenwood came off the bench to take his tally to nine for the campaign. United fans protestWith the game won despite more than half an hour remaining, United fans in the Stretford End turned to protest at how the club is being run.
This night will be played few games from the tournament for the Cup of Mexico. At this game rivals will be the teams of Queretaro and Juarez. Both team play at Mexican elite league - Primera division.
They hoisted a banner that read, "Tories Not Welcome' and, I'm paraphrasing here, 'Go away, Rod. That might have cut pretty deep. Amy Macdonald v Tommy WrightGold-standard stuff, this. Internationally famous singer-songwriter takes on her husband's former manager in a war of words. When Richard Foster left St Johnstone he did so after something of a bust-up with Wright. That clearly rankles with Amy, who went on BBC Scotland's Off The Ball with Tam and Stuart and called the Northern Irishman "hot-headed".

I'm not really into spicy food'While a stack of fluffy American pancakes has proved the ideal recovery meal post-match, Invernesian Ross has struggled with the local cuisine. I'm not really into spice, so that's been tough," he said. There's chillies added to random things. I'm getting used to, it's not like Mexican food like fajitas at home - it's proper stuff. Despite that, Ross is enjoying life in El Paso.
