As millions around the world continue to deal with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, one slice of normality has remained the same sport. We re firmly in the February groove and that means we re going to be experiencing a whole lost of games coming at us thick and fast between now and May, which is especially true in the English Premier League.

Crystal Palace
A few positive results in recent weeks have helped to ease the pressure on the shoulders of Roy Hodgson, with many Eagles fans believing they re in for another unremarkable midtable/bottom half finish without to…
UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Eintracht Frankfurt and Marseille after Tuesday s Champions League fixture was marred by crowd trouble.
Eintracht claimed their first Champions League victory at the Stade Velodrome, but their 1-0 win was overshadowed by off-pitch events, with social media footage appearing to show the two sets of fans aiming fireworks at one another in the stands.
Further footage appeared to show an Eintracht supporter giving a Nazi salute within the stadium, leading the Europa League holders to condemn the incident in a strongly worded statement.
Eintracht said: The club dissociates itself completely and utterly from the one isolated incident that occurred during the run-up to the UEFA Champions League match between Olympique d…
Massimiliano Allegri will remain at AC Milan after holding talks with president Silvio Berlusconi and chief executive Adriano Galliani.
Allegri s long-term future as head coach had been in doubt despite the team securing UEFA Champions League qualification, with Serie A rivals Roma reportedly ready to swoop.

With Galliani and Allegri we had a frank and cordial discussion in which we revisited and analysed the past season, so there was a clarification on certain things, Berlusconi said.
We reached an agreement on the rights and duties of the club towards the coach and the coach towards the club.
We also talked about the type of…
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has dismissed reports linking him with a switch to Manchester City.
The Northern Irishman has been tipped as a potential successor to Manuel Pellegrini at the Etihad Stadium, should the City hierarchy opt for a change of management at the end of the season.
But Rodgers, who joined Liverpool from Swansea City in 2012 and signed a new four-year deal on Merseyside last May, insists his head will not be turned.
That doesn t distract me, he said. I chose to come to Liverpool because I hoped I could be here for many years.
The speculation is just the nature of football I think.
I remember earlier this season playing Ludogorets away and as I walked off I saw a banner that said Rodgers Out , so I never get too carrie…

Olympiacos and Wolverhampton Wanderers will play Thursday in the first leg of the 2019-20 UEFA Europa League Round of 16. This fixture will be held behind closed doors, however, as there are nationwide fears regarding the coronavirus on Greek soil. Neither side has anything to lose, though, so we could be in line for a very open contest. Kick-off for this match has been scheduled at 20:00 GMT.
Olympiacos
Olympiacos are coming off a 3-2 loss at PAOK in their previous Greek Super League match, but they enter this contest with the morale at an all-time high since they eliminated Arsenal in the previous Europa League round. The loss against PAOK ended a three-game winning streak for the Greek giants…
The Los Angeles Galaxy cancelled their planned post-season German tour, citing organizational hitches and a need to focus on their upcoming Major League Soccer championship clash with Real Salt Lake.
Galaxy were scheduled to face FC Kaiserslautern on Thursday, November 26, and a second opponent the following Tuesday in Germany.
We are very disappointed to announce the cancellation of our 2009 Postseason Tour due to a lack of communication and performance by the tour s organizer and promoter IMC Group, Incorporated, Galaxy President of Business Operations Tom Payne said in a statement released Wednesday night.
Unfortunately, IMC Group has not performed their obligations of the agreement thus far, nor do we have faith that they will be able to do so in the futur…
So Liverpool won the Merseyside derby 2-0 at Goodison Park against Everton. I m currently listening to the local radio station football phone-in and Liverpool fans still don t seem happy.
Took their chances
Liverpool fans are still not happy because a lot thought that their team produced a bit of a smash and grab. They took their chances but Everton didn t, much to my annoyance.
If Liverpool were playing an in-form Everton it probably would of been a completely different result. Liverpool were playing an Everton side devoid of any confidence or belief.
Liverpool are low on confidence as well but they are supposed to be a top four team.Yet in this match they were penned back in their own half and struggled to attack for much of the game. Their only attack…
Serie A fallen giants have been struggling to get back on their feet for quite some time.
Frank de Boer has been replaced by Stefano Pioli at the helm, but the desired results are still missing and Nerazzurri are reportedly preparing for yet another busy transfer market in order to further boost their squad.
According to reports from the Italian media outlet , former Lazio boss is keen to strengthen his midfield and has already identified two potential targets, that will fit within the UEFA Financial Fair Play regulations.
Venezuela international and Genoa star Tomas Rincon is one of the names Inter are keen to add to their squad list. The 28-year-old has been with Genoa since 2014 and has so far played 74 Serie A performances for the club.
Another name…
Barcelona left-back Lucas Digne says he would not be playing for the Spanish giants if it was not for Roma.
Digne moved to the LaLiga titleholders ahead of the 2016-17 LaLiga season, arriving from French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
The 23-year-old France international, however, spent the 2015-16 campaign on loan at Serie A outfit Roma, where he helped the Italian capital club finish third last term.
And it is a period in Digne s career for which he will be forever grateful.
It was a fantastic year [in Roma], because of the love of the fans, Digne who has amassed 19 appearances in all competitions in his debut season at Camp Nou said in an exclusive interview with Omnisport.
The club gave me a lot of confidence and I thank them because witho…
