Dresden were due to resume the season on 17 May at Hannover 96. AnalysisJohn Bennett, BBC World ServiceThe Dynamo Dresden situation proves that any league will be balanced on a knife edge when football resumes, even with all the planning and all the expertise that has gone into the Bundesliga restart. DFL boss Christian Seifert admitted as much on Friday when he said that they are "playing under probation".
Derby County are in top form at present, though it might be too late to get them in the play-offs. They and Wayne Rooney of course would love a home tie against Manchester United. County have excellent home form and will make life tough for their League Two visitors. Derby can be backed to win this game and be leading at both half and full time.
But it has a risk too, because the goalkeeper might not be able to see the ball coming. GIVE AND TAKE Real Betis defender Sidnei and Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema took with one hand and gave with the other in an entertaining battle. The game was an end-to-end whirlwind and that sense of madness was exacerbated by the goals.
Napoli have managed just one clean sheet in their last 10 away league matches. Napoli have scored in 12 of their last 15 matches. Napoli have four wins in their last four matches.

It's just used to getting each other, getting more and more convinced about things and, how I said, luck in the right moment: in life and football, without luck you don't have a chance," he said. We have to be honest in these situations, it's not that we defended completely perfect in the last six games [no goals conceded], there's a lot of space we have for improvement, but we knew that. You lose the ball and the train starts going'Liverpool v Manchester United previewKlopp also said his team will have to be at their best to overcome a counter-attacking Manchester United side, who they drew 1-1 with during the league meeting at Old Trafford in October, when the sides meet at Anfield on Sunday.
But on the off chance that you don't yet have Sadio Mane in your side, allow us to gently suggest that this is the week to make it so. On Saturday, Liverpool face Crystal Palace - an opponent for whom Mane has a real affection (or vendetta, depending on your viewpoint). He has scored in each of his last four Premier League games against Roy Hodgson's side. His broader record of seven goals in nine Premier League games against Palace is his best goalscoring record against any English top-flight opponent.
They aren't always welcomed with open arms. Players are catalyst for change'Bhandari was only appointed as Kick It Out's new chair last September, replacing founder Lord Herman Ouseley, who had been in the role for 26 years. But he has already faced criticism from former board member Garth Crooks for not being an ex-player and therefore not understanding the trials some recent professionals have been through.
But BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson is backing Solskjaer's side to go all the way and win at Wembley in the final on 1 August. It is United for the FA Cup," said Lawro. They are playing well and scoring goals. They are in the race for the top four in the Premier League too but Solskjaer wants to win things, so he will not field a weakened team in the FA Cup. Lawro is pitting his wits against a different guest for each round of this season's FA Cup, and his opponent this time is Peter Crouch: Save Our Summer co-host Alex Horne.
Tainan City will host Tatung for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors are strong favorites in this game. Tatung are more ambitious team in this league. The visitors have an effective attack. In any case, I think, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. On the other hand Tainan City is very average team in this season. Hosts have highly variable results. In previous game Tainan City lost 0-1 against strong Hang Yuen. I believe, Tatung is really better team than their opponent. I think, the visitors will go in this game to victory.
Mbappe no longer the Real deal Real Madrid are reportedly ready to "scrap their world-record transfer swoop for Kylian Mbappe" and go after everyone's favourite wonderkid Erling Braut Haaland instead. According to the Sun, Madrid president Florentino Perez could turn his attention to the Borussia Dortmund forward, who would be significantly cheaper than attempting to sign Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain.

Before their loss at St. James' Park, Southampton had taken seven points from nine, holding Arsenal at the Emirates, and beating fellow relegation candidates Watford and Norwich in successive fixtures at St. Mary's.
It is for me to look at the players' side of things," said Taylor. A football club is an entity involving non-playing staff - they need to look at the position of non-playing staff, the youngsters at clubs, the academies, the community programmes in their own areas and the bigger picture of the national health. I can only repeat that the players are mindful of their social responsibilities and they are quite prepared to step up to the mark to deal with it.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2Andy's prediction: Liverpool have won a few tight ones lately. Tottenham v BurnleyBurnley are another team to have hit the buffers a bit, suffering back-to-back home defeats against Crystal Palace and Manchester City. Tottenham did not really get going at Old Trafford in midweek but I am expecting them to be far better this time. If so, they should win pretty comfortably. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Andy's prediction: 2-0 Watford v Crystal PalaceIt looks like Watford's interim manager Hayden Mullins will still be in charge for this game as the Hornets search for their third manager of the season.
The facility will be opened up free of charge to provide accommodation for hospital staff working to care for people affected by the virus, which has caused the full shut-down of professional football in England.

Bale remains committed to Real Madrid, says Courtois Gareth Bale is still committed to life at Real Madrid despite a failure to repair his deteriorating relationship with manager Zinedine Zidane, according to Thibaut Courtois. Bale celebrated Wales' qualification for Euro 2020 by posing for cameras behind a flag that read 'Wales, Golf, Madrid' - a reference to the player's alleged lack of interest in playing for the club and preference for the gold course over the Bernabeu.
The semi-final and final in Qatar clashed with Liverpool's Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat at Aston Villa, meaning they had to send separate teams to compete in the competitions. Klopp's side, who are chasing a first league title in 30 years, will have two days of rest between festive Premier League fixtures, but 14 sides will only get one day off between matches. There is no reason to give teams less than 48 hours to play another Premier League game," Klopp added.
It’s more for other people in our environment. However, he said he felt “scared” after reading Aston Villa goalkeeper Pepe Reina’s account of struggling to breathe after contracting Covid-19. We have to be careful and return when football is safe. It might not be 100% safe but we have to minimise problems and not come back too early. But he thinks football returning would prove a major morale boost to fans in lockdown across the country.

Liverpool host Spanish side Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday. A handful of players have featured for both clubs while a total of 20 Spanish players have appeared for Liverpool in the Premier League.

Jurgen [Klopp] spent four years building his team and they're doing well now. I've said it so many time, it's not going to be a quick fix. It's not going to be eight or 10 players in, in one transfer window. We've had one proper transfer window in the summer, because the January ones are difficult. But we are trying to do something now.
Picking the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Jordan Henderson for PFA Player of the Year would be too obvious - and disappointing. It's easy to look good in a team who are doing well and riding high on confidence. It's much more difficult to continue to be world class in a team who are all too fallible and occasionally floundering.

And Mourinho was quick to empathise with the former Spurs boss. I haven’t spoke to him. I’ve been there and I know what he’s going through," said Mourinho. I spoke to his son, in our academy, and I will call him. I told the players here to tell him he’s free to come here whenever, to have a meal with the players, if he wants me here or not that’s fine.

They were recently dealt the blow of losing Robert Lewandowski through injury. The division's top marksman with 25 goals, he is set to be out of action until April. Bayern have been coping well without him, winning the three games since that injury with a goals-per-game average of three. However, his absence was notable in the recent 2-0 win over Augsburg, a game that goalless until the second half.
Simeone thanked Zidane for his words of encouragement and praised the Frenchman for overseeing Real's resurgence after last season's nightmare campaign. It's nice when a colleague of Zidane's calibre says something like that and I'll return the compliment," he said. He is the ideal coach for Real Madrid, he has got them back into the same state which he left them in.
The progress he has made in this year is amazing," said manager Ralph Hasenhuttl after the game. He is fit, he works so hard, he wins the ball so many times. This is definitely a striker who deserves so many goals. The Saints' poor home form remains somewhat of a mystery - they are the only club in the division to earn more points on the road - but they are unbeaten in five games now and are ending the season strongly.
Wolves head to this game on 20 points and placed sixth on the standings while West Ham United are 13th, with 16 points.

I think that we will see a lot of goals in this match from Portuguese Cup and I will try this option, surely. So, home team is problematic this season and their defense is the biggest problem. In last round in Portugal league, they are lost even 7-0, so I believe that they will have new problems and here, that is clear. Benfica, on the other side, is team who is favorite and team who is lost in last derby match in league, against Porto at Dragao stadium, 3-2. They will be probably motivated to win this duel, so I will try.
We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s clash and we have predict4ed a final scoreline of 1-0 in Oldham’s favour. The hosts head into the game as the form favourites with two wins, two draws, and two defeats from their last six outings and have scored under 2.5 goals in each of those games, while Leyton Orient have lost their last three matches and have conceded exactly one goal in three of their last six games.

Herediano will host Perez Zeledon for this fixture of the league. Of course, the hosts are big favorites in this match. Herediano is one of the best teams in this campaign. They are currently on the 2nd place with 39 points. Also, Herediano are in solid shape. They have four consecutive victories. Also, we have Perez Zeledon who's is not very good team in this season. They are currently on the 10th place with 20 points. After all, Herediano is really better team. I think, the hosts will go in this game to victory. My pick - Herediano with handicap (-1.5 )
Wright: "The pressure was on him, from the age of 16, to perform on a weekly basis, continuously.
