Tyler Walker, Grabban's replacement, came closest to levelling in a disjointed second period, but Forest failed to take advantage of the 1-1 draw between Brentford and Leeds and slipped to fifth spot following their eighth defeat of the season. Relive Tuesday's EFL actionThe Reds had six wins from their past nine games and began brightly enough in an open game on a bitterly cold evening which ended in deep frustration for the majority of a near sell-out crowd.
Players from Brazilian club Gremio took to the field wearing masks on Sunday in protest at having to play a football match as fears over coronavirus grow in the South American nation. The players, led by boss Renato Portaluppi, walked out of the tunnel and lined up before the game against Sao Luiz wearing the masks. This protest by the players makes implicit our support for the championship to be halted - life must take precedence," said Paulo Luz, Gremio's director of football.
Utrecht have won five and lost one of their six home games and AZ have won four, drawn one, and lost one of their away games and with neither team losing many games, we have backed a stalemate between the pair this Saturday. The hosts have only lost two of their last six matches in all competitions while their guests have only lost one of their last six matches in league and cup. Utrecht haven’t failed to score at home this season and AZ haven’t failed to score away, which only adds more weight to our prediction for both teams to score on Saturday.
Champion will host one of the team in the league, which also had well start of the season.

Lawro's prediction: 1-2Hugh's prediction: 0-0Matthew's prediction: 1-4SUNDAY Bournemouth v Watford (14:00 GMT)Bournemouth's performance in their last Premier League game, a 4-0 defeat by West Ham on New Year's Day, was probably their worst since they were promoted to the top flight in 2015. Watford being held by Tranmere after going 3-0 up was probably the strangest result of the FA Cup third round - and good luck to them in the replay because have you seen the pitch at Prenton Park? Media playback is not supported on this device League One Tranmere come back from 3-0 down at Watford to earn replay Look at league form, and there is only one winner - the resurgent Hornets - but I still think the Cherries are capable of springing a surprise.
The 19-year-old's positive test last week had prompted the London club to partially close their Cobham training centre, with the first-team squad and coaching staff asked to self-isolate as a precaution.

But both Buckley and O’Brien insist there was no firm offer on the table and the fee Celtic were talking about was more like £50,000. We weren’t impressed by the approach from Celtic,” said O’Brien. We’d heard they were notoriously mean when it came to transfer fees. We’d have been delighted to get a firm offer for Celtic to allow us to carry on. And so came the final day - which was only four days before they were due to play their season opener in the all-Ireland Setanta Sports Cup.
Pasalic could have had a hat-trick, as his first-half header came back off the post, while Atalanta substitute Ruslan Malinovskyi was also denied by the woodwork. Mario Balotelli was restored to the Brescia team after being dropped by coach Fabio Grosso for their trip to Roma following a training ground argument, and he had their best chance of the game when he fired a second-half shot against the crossbar.
Ancelotti said he thought the midfielder "didn't affect the vision of the goalkeeper". And he said he would be "disappointed" if the dismissal resulted in being banned for the trip to his former team Chelsea next Sunday. The Everton boss is the first Premier League manager to be a shown a red card since the rule was introduced last year. Ancelotti said: "There was no explanation [from the referee].
From being presented with a winner's medal before kick-off to suffering a 6-0 defeat, Northern Ireland players have had an interesting history with the FA Cup final. A long list of internationals have sung the team song and worn the new cup final suit for what is still one of the most famous occasions in world football. Saturday 23 May should have been the 2020 FA Cup final, but, of course, due to the coronavirus pandemic, this season's competition is paused at the quarter-final stage.

It was the same again here as they created chances and dictating large periods of the match. But once again Atleti struggled for firepower in the final third. Simeone will surely enter the January transfer window when it opens for another striker. His team desperately needs one. João Félix (Atlético)Getty Images MAN OF THE MATCH - Samuel Chukwueze (Villarreal) The case could be made that it was in fact Felix who created the most opportunities and made the biggest impression, but for all his liveliness the Portuguese teenager was wasteful in front of goal.
The principality side opened the scoring thanks to league top scorer Wissam Ben Yedder's 18th goal but Kasper Dolberg completed a double in stoppage time to give the hosts a deserved victory. Monaco, who had drawn their two previous games, were reduced to 10 men in the 86th minute when Stevan Jovetic picked up a red card for a dangerous tackle, seven minutes before Dolberg netted the winner.
The result means Jurgen Klopp's men are now 44 league matches unbeaten and have equalled Manchester City's all-time English top-flight record of 18 wins in a row.

The Bluebirds put three goals past QPR when they met earlier this season. That’s one of the 16 occasions in 25 league games that QPR have conceded twice or more. They have conceded twice in 10 of their 13 home games this term, while they’ve shipped two or more goals in 10 of their last 11 games at home in all competitions. Following that run, we think Cardiff are well priced to score two or more this week.
It might only have been five days, but it has felt like five weeks. Can it really only have been last Wednesday that the SPFL proposed its plan to call an early halt to the Scottish season?With the game shut down since 10 March - and unlikely to resume until the start of August at best - attention had turned to how to conclude the current campaign. But what followed has been claim and counterclaim, melded with rumour and innuendo.
Setubal are in seventh, giving them a chance to feature in the Europa League next term. The visitors come here just five points shy of the top four, while a spot in the top five could be enough to make it into the Europa League this summer. They may need to make strides on the road if they’re to do that, with the visitors losing half of their away games this season and winning just one.
Coach Jesus said their performance in Doha, which ended with the 1-0 extra-time loss, showed that Brazil’s best can now compete at the highest level, a bold statement given the financial gulf between Europe and South America.

Well besides the fact that Anderlecht is quite clearly having their worst season in more than a decade or even two decades as they are really far away from the top 6 places at this moment, and they exited the cup competition last month at home and yes it was Club Brugge who defeated them at their own stadium with 2-0 in the end but really it was 9 shots from Club Brugge against just 1 shot from Anderlecht in that game as it was easily controlled for the guests.

Frankfurt beat Guimaraes 1-0 when the pair locked horns for their reverse group fixture back in October and both teams scored in four of Frankfurt’s and three of Guimaraes’ last six matches, so you can already start to see why we have backed a 2-1 home win this Thursday.

Jed Wallace proved instrumental in creating chances and it was his outswinging corner that Williams nodded down inside the six-yard box for his second goal in as many games. Forest failed to register a shot on target until early in the second half, but manager Sabri Lamouchi's decision to stick Grabban on after an hour had an immediate effect. He scored with his first touch at the end of a Tiago Silva free-kick after Joe Worrall nodded back across goal and then combined with Ameobi for what appeared to be the winner.
However, some club executives feel protecting next season is more important than how this one ends. Like any businesses, football clubs hate uncertainty. Indications are that Sky will not ask for the money they have paid for this season back.

Well usually I would skip this but given all the circumstances I think this is a very realistic bet. Osasuna are the better team overall but for this game they have way too many missing.They will be without Chimy Avilla, Garcia D, Oier , Ibanez R, Martinez Calvo J, Roncaglia F and Ruben due to illness. On the other hand Leganes will be without Bustanzia U, Carillo G , Szymanowskia A, Rodriguez O...Given the performances both teams are showing and the fact that Leganes are in kind of must win situation I think that a draw here is the most realistic option for sure .
A return to the Champions League is looking likely but Leicester's fomr has slipped a bit of late. They have lost three of their last five games in all competitons with the only wins coming at Brentford in the FA Cup last weekend and a 4-1 home win over West Ham United. Only one point had been earned from City's previous three home league games, so this isn't the dominant side that we saw earlier in the season.
