Aberdeen have announced £2m of extra investment and confirmed manager Derek McInnes, his staff, and players have agreed to defer between 10 and 30% of their wages for four months. Higher-paid, non-football staff are also delaying part of their pay, with all deferrals saving a total of £1. These measures will "help close the looming £5m gap in cashflow". Chairman Dave Cormack, part of the investment group, says deferrals only apply to half of the club's employees.

Liverpool beat Bournemouth 2-1 on Saturday to close in on the Premier League title, with Arsenal seeing off West Ham 1-0.

Freiburg have won two of their last three home league games. Werder Bremen have one point from their last seven league matches. Werder Bremen have only kept one away clean sheet in this season's Bundesliga. Only two sides have conceded more away league goals than Werder Bremen. Freiburg start the weekend in seventh place, two points behind the final Europa League qualifying position.
It had been a rocky six weeks or so for Ipswich, who appeared to be going nowhere fast, but Paul Lambert's men made a timely return to winning ways on Saturday afternoon, beating Accrington by four goals to one.
Odense will be relegated after this season but on the other hand Arhaus will be placed for Championship promotion. Arhaus lost only 2 matches from their last 11 home matches. Whereas Odense won only 3 matches from their last 15 away matches. Odense is on the very bad form on their away matches. They failed to manage any win from their last 6 away matches. And they lost to Aalborg, Lyngby, horsense and Copenhagen in recent meetings. On the other side Arhaus scored 10 matches from their last 12 matches. So I think this will also be a high scoring match. And Uranus will win a big difference.
WEDNESDAY’S BIG STORIES Gotta sack ‘em all Sack Levy. But you can’t sack Levy, he has to sell the club’. Then force a sale. He (and Bahamas dweller Joe Lewis) refused to invest in a squad that was so close to winning a major trophy, leaving the club’s greatest modern manager (not you, Jose) tackling back-to-back seasons of 38 away games with the same players.
This is friendly duel from two Austrian Clubs and I really hope that they will play one very interesting match today with plenty of goals. Of course, it is the fact that this rivals are teams who are mostly playing in second or even third league in this country, but in this case, this is match without any pressure with result, so, offensive and efficient match is very real. Probably Liefering is have better chances to win, because they are "younger brother" of Red Bull Salzburg, but this is friendly match and it is better to bet on goals here.
Given the visitors’ scoring form, we expect them to trouble the Owls in this clash. Sheffield Wednesday couldn’t have any complaints after conceding three goals to a poor Stoke side in midweek, while Cardiff are likely to be a bigger test. The hosts are making the right moves further up the pitch, having scored in their last 10 matches.
The issue is consistency - and there have been far more obvious errors not corrected by VAR this season. Had this happened last season and the goal been allowed to stand, there would have been little dissent from Liverpool and that is perhaps the most damning thing. VAR is causing more controversy than it is resolving and overshadows another impressive win that Liverpool fought hard to grind out.
What time and TV channel is Coventry vs Sheffield 14 hours ago — Coventry and Sheffield Wednesday will go at it for another 90 minutes after drawing 1-1 in the FA Cup in the fourth round.
This fantastic run of form has pushed them up to 5th in the table, and while the six points between them and the top four suggests that Champions League football might be out of their reach, keeping hold of this top six spot looks well within their means.
The 37-year-old is also yet to manage a club himself. In this instance, he alone would be the main man responsible for turning around Arsenal’s fortunes – a tough and unenviable task given they are at their lowest ebb in decades. A more natural step for Arteta would have been to take charge of another former club, but Everton have bigger ambitions.
From a betting point of view, given the performances of each, supporting a lack of goals seems logical, though 'Under 2.5 Goals' makes little appeal at the current odds-on price. Instead, 'Shrewsbury to Win & Under 3.5 Goals' stands out as a viable punt. They don't score many goals, but the Shrews are very, very tough to get the better of at New Meadow, while they seem to be getting better and edging ahead, winning each of their last two home games by a goal to nil, beating two strong sides in Sunderland and Peterborough. Against a Rovers side that has often come up short offensively on the road, failing to score in four out of seven, registering a poor average of just 2.71 expected goals, the sturdy hosts are backed to win in low-scoring fashion.
Pauline Bremer and Lauren Hemp struck either side of half-time to put City in control at the Academy Stadium. Danielle van de Donk got one back for Arsenal, but the hosts held firm as Cushing received a guard of honour from his players as he left the field. G-eight afternoon for title-chasers There appears to be no stopping Chelsea as they smashed eight past West Ham in a sensational showing.
Tell us about your favourite 2010s football moments6. Gerrard's slip (2014) Steven Gerrard's slip came at a crucial moment as Liverpool chased their first league title since 1990You've got to feel for Steven Gerrard, haven't you?He is one of the greatest Premier League players but his slip against Chelsea was seen by many as pivotal in preventing Liverpool from winning their first domestic title since 1990 in the 2013-14 season.
Daragh Curley, from County Donegal, wrote to the 52-year-old coach this week asking if he could engineer a few Liverpool defeats so they do not win the Premier League this season. If you win nine more games, then you have the best unbeaten run in English football. Being a United fan that is very sad," Curley wrote.
It’ll never happen, but here’s the report: "Now, Premier League clubs are scrambling, in some cases increasingly desperately, for ideas to complete the season on the field. As the industry seeks to stay afloat, the ideas are becoming more creative. For example, The Athletic learned on Thursday that one club has even suggested exploring the feasibility of completing the domestic season abroad.
When Johan Cruyff phoned Ally Dick in 1986 to gauge his interest in joining Ajax, the great man was probably expecting a more enthusiastic reaction than "Eff off, ya dumpling. The young Scot was not intentionally disrespecting one of football's great icons; he just assumed one of his pals was on the wind-up. Thankfully, the penny soon dropped. It was, genuinely, Ajax coach Cruyff on the line. And within a couple of days, Dick was in the Netherlands playing three post-season friendlies against amateur teams.
The match was due to take place behind closed doors as Europe battles to contain the coronavirus outbreak. Several Arsenal players in self-isolation, Man City match postponed However, Spain cancelled all direct flights from Italy for two weeks on Tuesday in a bid to stop the spread. Getafe have refused to travel to Milan for their Europa League last 16 first leg – even if it means forfeiting the result.
And if the numbers [of infections] stay the way they are, that's the best way of getting to there. If the pubs opening doesn't give us big numbers, then crowds are much more likely than less likely. Speaking to BBC Scotland's Off The Ball programme, Leitch says "everything is pointing in a good direction" for the top flight to begin as scheduled on 1 August. Only one Premiership player has tested positive for coronavirus in the 1,991 tests carried out in two weeks.
They have never beaten Benfica, nor kept a clean sheet but having impressed since the league resumed, the team will be keen on a successive win, knowing too well the pressures at Benfica. In the 10 matches before the forced break, Famalicao had managed just one win but they resumed with purpose and have three wins in the six matches since the league restarted.
Watford were averaging 0.5 goals per game before Pearson joined the club, showing just how far they’ve come in a short space of time and they’ve also been able to improve defensively, conceding just two goals in their past four, compared to the 30 in 17 prior to their good run of form. They will be much more confident of avoiding the embarrassment of a cup defeat to a team in League One and will be confident of ending the weekend in the pot for the fourth round.
But they won't say if it's even possible that he could leave this summer. Erling's pretty smart. He knows what he's got in Dortmund and his €75m release fee doesn't click .

They have three clean sheets in their last 15 matches, and none of these has come in the last seven matches. Five of their last 10 matches have yielded over 2. They head here with three straight wins in the League Cup while they have scored two goals or more in four of their last five League Cup matches.
Marcus Browne will rue the moment he was sent in one-on-one by Alex Gorrin but shot straight at Darlow. It could have been even better had Holland scored his first U's goal in injury time - or Dickie kept his header lower. But the Oxford owners will not complain about Newcastle heading to town for a replay in front of a full Kassam Stadium.
ATK have recovered well from losing their opening match of the season and look to be in good shape to keep on the pressure at the top of the table. They have managed to keep things tight at the back which can’t be said for their opponents Mumbai City, who are shipping in far too many goals to give them a chance of winning games. Even if Mumbai do score it is unlikely that they will be able to keep out the attacking threat posed by ATK and a home win is the prediction. ATK may stay top of the table.
Wolverhampton are in the race to compete in the top 4 of the Premier League. They are currently sixth with 46 points, 5 points behind the fourth-placed Chelsea. To stay competitive, Wolves need to win against Bournemouth in round 31.
Under normal circumstances, it's fair to say that this team would be in a much better position. Even if they'd not had a proper squad for the first six weeks of so, based on what they've achieved since Keith Hill took over, Bolton would be less than two wins away from safety were in not for a 12-point deduction, and had Hill and his team be in from the word go, you could argue that the Trotters would be outside of the bottom three by a slight margin.
TALKING POINT Luiz and Mustafi show true colours. Both David Luiz and Shkodran Mustafi divide opinion among fans, but even the most ardent Luiz and Mustafi disciples know the pair have an horrendous error in their locker, and in 10 seconds, we were living in a microcosm of both of their careers. The back pass from Mustafi was absolutely shocking, if not unexpected, and the tackle was Luiz was clumsy, if predictable.
Halsey said: "We've seen 21 or 22 goals ruled out through offside, but some of them have got to be given as goals because fans are paying a lot of money to watch. We don't want to see them ruled out for a toenail or hair. They are goals, and if it's taking so long to judge then you go with the on-field referee. We know technology isn't 100%, so where are they drawing these lines? They've been consistent, but it doesn't make it right.

I think you will find more Japanese fans at Anfield after January. Football finance expert Kieran Maguire, a lecturer at the University of Liverpool, describes the Asian market as "probably the biggest international market for Premier League clubs". And, with Liverpool having just signed a huge new kit deal with Nike, he believes Minamino's arrival will only increase the club's opportunities. Liverpool's front-of-shirt sponsor Standard Chartered and insurance partner AXA are both big in Asia," said Maguire.
Manchester United brushed Brighton aside with a vibrant all-round display to keep pace with Chelsea in the race for a Champions League spot. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side totally dominated the contest at the Amex Stadium and extended their unbeaten run to 15 games to move up to fifth in the Premier League, two points adrift of Frank Lampard's side. Teenager Mason Greenwood bamboozled Seagulls defender Lewis Dunk with quick footwork and drilled in an accurate opener for the visitors.

Former Blues player Nathan Ake left the club to head to Bournemouth back in 2017 at a time when the team were blessed with a wealth of defensive options, though he could now be brought back, according to reports. In terms of forwards, there have been rumours about possible links between the Blues and Jadon Sancho, who is thought to be unhappy in the Bundesliga after rumours of a rift between him and Dortmund manager Lucien Favre.
Stones has not featured since City's derby defeat at home by Manchester United earlier this month due to a thigh problem, but is back training along with midfielder David Silva who has shaken off a knock. Guardiola said he expected a tough test against Everton, who are unbeaten in five games, including back-to-back victories in their last two matches under new manager Carlo Ancelotti.
There is a "99%" chance the Italian government will allow Serie A to resume on 13 June, the head of the country's Olympic committee (Coni) says. Clubs are back in training and the league approved 13 June for resumption if permitted by the government. Serie A was suspended on 9 March with most teams having 12 games to play. To talk about the chances of it finishing, you would need a crystal ball," Coni president Giovanni Malago said.
Bin the winter break, reduce the number of league games, get rid of Scottish Cup replays and do away with the Betfred Cup entirely if you have to and you might get the season over by the time the Euros begins next summer, which is a must. Rangers call for prize money & not 'railroad' changesPartick Thistle 'will not accept' relegationSure, do all of that. But at what cost? As much as we want fairness, the point here is finance.
This game which is the final of the Belarus Cup is going to be played on neutral venue at the stadium of Dinamo Minsk, and they are the top 2 clubs from last season with Brest winning the title and BATE finishing 2nd but right now BATE are clear league leaders in Belarus this while Dinamo Brest is struggling somewhere in the middle of the league table as just 3-4 days ago they met in the league at Dynamo Brest and the score was already 1-1 by half-time of the game as it ended with even 4 goals scored with BATE winning it with 3-1 in the end.
Aris is not that close to the top 3 teams in the league but have made it to the title group this season once more.

The hosts for this one play their football in the fifth tier of France but will be looking to show their utmost quality as the Ligue 1 big boys come to town. They currently sit third in Group F of the Championnat National 3, three points behind leaders Metz. They finished out the year with matches against three of the league's top five and while they managed to beat the leaders 2-0, they had a rather disappointing 3-1 defeat to Sarre Union and a 1-1 draw with Prix-lu00e8s-Méziu00e8res to finish the year on a low.

They have lost four and kept seven clean sheets in their last 15 matches while they have scored in 13 of the 15 matches.
Still, for 60 minutes of the game, you could have made a pretty convincing case that Arsenal would never, ever taste victory again, so bad were they against a pretty rotten West Ham side, and nobody sensible would have disbelieved you. They were 1-0 down at the break, a goal conceded in a manner befitting the occasion – which in the first-half at least was a festival of incompetence – Angelo Ogbonna credited with the goal which went in off Ainsley Maitland-Niles who was trying to duck away from blocking the effort in the first place.
