However, Lord Mervyn King, former governor of the Bank of England, says Tottenham's decision is fair, and Brighton & Hove Albion chief executive and deputy chairman Paul Barber says he can understand why clubs such as Spurs would furlough staff. Brighton have committed to playing all matchday staff until the end of the season but Barber says he cannot rule out having to make cuts. It’s a very difficult time for everybody and I can fully understand why people think that the football industry and particularly the Premier League has got a lot of cash,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
David Nugent doubled Preston's lead after the break when he bundled home, while Aleksandar Mitrovic pulled a goal back with a deflected long-range strike.

Silva might be less enthusiastic. CAN LEICESTER CHASE DOWN LIVERPOOL, WILL RODGERS STAY? With Manchester City stumbling again on Saturday, Leicester moved three points clear of the champions and cut Liverpool's gap to eight points with their win over Everton. The Foxes have won six games in a row, scoring 19 goals and conceding two in that run.

Cambuur have only lost once at home in the league this season but have also drawn once in their own backyard as well, while Volendam have performed well on the road with five wins and a draw from their ten away games. The hosts concede an average of 0.89 goals per home game and actually have a better defensive record on the road this season while Volendam concede an average of 1.60 goals per away game. However, with this being both teams first game back following the winter break we doubt either side will be fully up to speed and the average goals conceded ties in with our prediction for a 1-1 draw on Friday.
He has gone on to score 55 further hat-tricks but amazingly that first one was the only time he hit a treble in a match for United. His latest hat-trick came against Cagliari in a 4-0 win for Juventus on 6 January this year. There is a little caveat in Ronaldo's appearance record. Two of his 999 games so far were with Sporting B - their reserve team. The first of those actually came after his full debut for the first team.
Yes, the list is still going. Last week, Sharp played a role in the side's transfer announcement when the Blades confirmed the club record signing of Sander Berge from Genk. Here he is playing a game of 'Honesty Cards' with team-mate John Fleck (and he does a good impression of another team-mate). Billy Sharp helped Sheffield United to promotion to the Premier League in 2019And we're not finished there, it's 'Sven, Sven, Sven'.
What was he saving Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino for? Bournemouth at home? In far more serious news, a conversation needs to be had about Mason Mount's haircut. An absolute aberration. Frank Lampard, Chelsea v LiverpoolGetty Images The Nations League is back Yeah. Already. It was decent to be fair but it literally seems like it was less than 12 months ago that Portugal beat Netherlands in the final.
It's very satisfying to be top scorer, but more so because we won the competition. The honour is down to the work of everyone in the team. Giuntini noticed the striker coming of age on and off the pitch. At the beginning, Odsonne was a bit quiet then he became more and more open, with a jokey and mischievous side. He had the confidence and the obsession with scoring all great strikers need. He never doubts his qualities.
That’s just rude. The Warm-Up toyed with the idea of blaming the goalkeeper here. There’s no gap until he takes his step, after all. But then of course he takes the step, because nobody’s going to shoot from there. Shooting from there would be stupid. Shooting from there would be … … would be very Dimitri Payet.
The streets are deserted, the shutters of the stores lowered and industrial activity has stopped. It is very difficult to manage,” comments the technical director of Atalanta. The players are at home and they do not all have the possibility of training on treadmills or specific machines. It is normal that this is more complicated for some.

Staying unbeaten here seems to be likely for Freiburg, which has been much more consistent than Eintracht considering the whole season, because the home team is actually just 4 points away from the relegation zone, while Freiburg is just 2 points far from the European one. Including the game before the Covid break, Eintracht comes from 4 losses in a row and conceded no less than 3 goals in all of those matches, even conceding 5 in the last one vs Bayern. Freiburg has instead conceded no more than a goal in the last 2 games, also stopping a very good team like Leipzig few days ago. Freiburg could even win in my opinion.
Salah: Two goals against an outclassed Brighton has put Salah back in contention for the coveted Golden Boot award. At the moment the trophy is contested by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Jamie Vardy, Danny Ings and Salah. The Egypt international looked desperate to get his hat-trick against the Seagulls and should have done when he missed a sitter in the final minutes. Liverpool played this game as though the title was still at stake.
They are still competing in both domestic cup competitions and are in the last 16 of the Champions League, where they will meet Real Madrid. They face League Two side Port Vale in the third round of the FA Cup on 4 January, before taking on rivals Manchester United in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on 7 January. But Guardiola insists City will not prioritise these competitions, as they have to secure a European spot for next season.
Sydney FC have enjoyed a great start to the 2019/20 season, losing just once in a contentious game against Western Sydney Wanderers. In every other game they have scored at least twice and conceded more than once on just one occasion, in their opening day defeat of Adelaide United. They look in great shape in the final third and will be looking to add to their tally this weekend.

It's been an issue and now we have another bulk," Lampard told reporters when asked why Chelsea have struggled. There are no fresh returns from the injury list. Andreas Christensen has got a small issue which we are going to give another 24 hours, but probably puts him in out of the game. Other than that we have no Tammy Abraham, no Pulisic, no Hudson-Odoi and no Kante.

The 34-year-old’s deflected shot opened the scoring in the first half, but Juve were pegged back after the break when Andreas Cornelius headed in from a corner.

My girlfriend is on maternity leave at the moment, so it is a tough time, but things could be a whole lot worse. We are healthy and happy.
We have given the ball away five times at the start and we can't do that," the Clarets boss said. It is unlike us to be so open and to give the ball away in so many bad areas. It was a tough day.
