It was a comfortable evening for us. When you have two players in those advanced midfield positions against Watford, you have to get players behind their midfield. Mason Mount's pass is wrapped through the front line [in the build-up to first goal]. I like working with that position because it's where I played and it's important we have quality in that area to unlock the door. Watford manager Nigel Pearson told Sky Sports: "I thought we played with discipline.
The players will remain at their homes until the 14-day period expires. Four Arsenal staff, who were sitting close to Mr Marinakis during the match will also remain at home until the 14 days are complete.

I think that this match from Faroe Islands, elite league will surely bring to us at least three or four goals, and with a little luck probably and more than that. So, KI is interesting team who is very efficient all the time, and that is one of the reasons for this bet. In last two rounds, this team is played very good and won, even they are played as a guests, 1-2 and 1-4. It is natural that they are closer to win tonight against Streymyr, but I will in any case try here with goals. It is very real.

Neil Lennon played a 3-5-2 formation during Celtic's 5-0 win over Hearts"The strikers, I think," said Lennon, when asked for the best characteristic in the change of approach. All of a sudden, you start building partnerships. If you've got three really strong centre halves, that gives you the three in midfield and if you have pace out wide - which we do - then you can utilise that as well. I thought that Greg Taylor had an outstanding game last night (a 5-0 win over Hearts).
The 31-year-old has made 160 appearances for the club since joining them from Arsenal in 2014. Her leadership skills are second to none and she never fails to amaze everybody here at Manchester City with her passion, drive and hunger to improve," said Gavin Makel, the club's head of women's football.
Four home league games for Rukh Brest have seen just four goals scored. Dinamo Brest have only scored three goals in their last four matches. All but one of the ten league games played by Rukh Brest have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Rukh Brest are becoming the draw experts of the Belarus Premier League.
WHO IS INTERESTED? The 32-year-old wants a new challenge, so a player of his pedigree could be available at the relative knockdown price of £25 million. Inter Milan were said to be monitoring his situation last summer but signed Christian Eriksen in January. However, Juventus could emerge as an option according to reports, while Atletico Madrid have already made contact but could face competition from his former club Sevilla, long-time admirers PSG or even Chelsea.
And I don't think that necessarily means on May 1 we will be. UFC heading to 'private island' Well this is something. UFC President Dana White has said the mixed martial arts promotion is close to securing a "private island" to stage bouts for international fighters during the COVID-19 pandemic. The organisation, which was forced to postpone three events, will resume its calendar with UFC 249 on April 18 and White said he had also found a new venue for that event after the Barclays Center in New York was ruled out.
Listen to any Watford player speak about the changes their new boss has made and it sounds simple - discipline, clarity, respect. But that is precisely the point. Pearson's message is a simple one; clear, laser-focused and all the more powerful for it. First, he has challenged the ill-discipline that had crept into the club. Sometimes you need to treat footballers like school children and be harsh with them," Foster tells BBC Sport.
Xavi confirmed media reports that he had spoken to Barca's sporting director Eric Abidal and chief executive Oscar Grau over the weekend. He did not give details of the meeting but acknowledged that he would love to take charge of his former side one day. I cannot say anything, they were here to talk to me and we discussed many things.
I tried to avoid my phone the first three or four days," he said. I tried to take time to really understand what happened and what was going to happen next. But I had a lot of people texting me. For example, I remember Danny Welbeck, Aaron Ramsey, Alan Shearer, who all had really bad injuries as well. It was unbelievable. I spoke with a few players. Seamus was one of them. He had a horrific injury.
My inkling is that players will take pay cuts, they will help out, they will make donations in whatever way they can help. The way Tottenham have handled it has not been very good, what they are doing to their staff, I don’t agree with whatsoever. But that is a separate issue to what players do. We are two to three weeks behind Italy and Spain in the scheme of things and players there in recent days have have taken cuts.
The working group, established last week as a result of the conference call among the stakeholders of European football, which was chaired by UEFA President, Aleksander Čeferin, will analyse the options available.

Brighton failed to register a single shot on target in a Premier League home game for only the second time, also failing to do so against Liverpool in January. Leicester have conceded a league-low eight Premier League goals this season, with this their fourth consecutive clean sheet. Perez has scored four goals in his last four Premier League games for Leicester, having failed to find the net in his first eight for the Foxes.

CRC Cluj is the strongest team in Romania right now. They faced some great European teams this season a proved they have what it takes to challenge other countries where football is more popular. The hosts are not playing well, they only win one game in the last five and against the best team I do not see them being able to get a single point. Cluj will go all out as they want to keep the 3 point lead to Astra and this game is perfect as the hosts are facing a lot of problems and have a disorganized football.

The Reds had been hampered by their lack of cutting edge during the early months of the season, but the front three of Rashford, Martial and fleet-footed Daniel James showed they can scare any side on Saturday. United are unbeaten in five Premier League matches and secured their first back-to-back league wins since things spectacularly unravelled in March.
But Rovers wasted two great chances to win it - and are now four points off a play-off place. Relive Saturday's Championship actionAlbion waste chance to stretch clearAlbion went ahead on 41 minutes when top scorer Charlie Austin picked out Krovinovic with a far-post cross and the Croatian midfielder found the bottom-left corner from 12 yards.

Juventus' highly-anticipated clash against Inter was due to be played behind closed doors in Turin, but the Italian football authorities have now decided to postpone the game and four others over fears of player and fan safety.

The Cottagers may be favourites here, but they have struggled against the top teams. They’ve failed to win against any of the top nine in the Championship, with Saturday bringing a 2-1 home defeat to Bristol City. When you combine that return with a Preston side who were a minute shy of an unbeaten home record this term, we struggle to see why Fulham are so strongly fancied. We see Preston avoiding defeat here, with the division’s strongest home side well priced to not lose this week.

Liverpool's away-day efforts in Group E have been mixed. They failed to turn up when losing 2-0 at Napoli, while they won without really getting out of second gear in Belgium, beating Genk by four goals to one.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have been wrestling for domination at the lip of world football’s Reichenbach Falls for what seems like an aeon now, but both are advancing ever further into their thirties. Even if they could sip elixir from the same well as Roger Federer, staying at the very top in a dynamic team environment like football is dependent on so many other factors, not least your team-mates.

The hotly debated 'Clause 12' in all SPFL contracts might also come into play if the suspension of the game continues beyond 10 June. Clubs argue it gives them the right to freeze salaries while football is on hold.

A 20- to 30-second period after each goal for goalkeepers or captains to perform a "post-mortem" about why it was conceded. So how do the BBC Sport readers' five-a-side experiences compare?Andy: Once had to wash our own kit, white socks. If they were dirty you got fined £2. I think the gaffer bought a car with the moneyChris Murphy: Our five-a-side rules are fairly simple - if you can get there on time, you can play! Joe Southcott: Remember turning up two minutes late and having to start 5-0 down instead of if we didn't turn up we'd lose 3-0.
We did a great first half, it was maturity in the second half. We have to be honest and humble to admit physically we are not ready. But where physically you are not there you have to put your hearts in. You can't change from zero to 10 in one day, one week, one month, but it is beautiful to see how these kids start to understand their commitment, their behaviours of what they need to do for big things in life and big things in football.
