A ceremony had been organised at the Museum of Black Civilisations in Senegal's capital Dakar, with the country's president Macky Sall due to attend.
Unbeaten Premier League leaders Liverpool made it a full year without losing in the top flight as Sheffield United were brushed aside at Anfield. A slice of good fortune enabled the Reds to take an early lead - George Baldock's slip allowing Andy Robertson to set up Mohamed Salah for a simple close-range finish in just the fourth minute. But there was nothing fortuitous about their win, which Sadio Mane sealed, finishing at the second attempt after being played in by Salah.
A draw would suit Club Brugge in this game, as it would mean that Galatasaray have to claim a victory at Parc de Princes to finish third in the group, and they could well look to keep things tight knowing that Galatasaray have struggled in front of goal this season.

Lolley's rasping low strike was his 10th goal this season and second against Derby, having scored in the EFL Cup win over their close rivals in AugustBoth sides have often looked at their best this season when counter-attacking and both were set up to give maximum chance of making the most of any broken play. Derby went with Martin up front, preferring the big striker's physical qualities and impressive hold-up play over the pace and irritation factor provided by the tireless Waghorn.
The Romanian faces the number 28 seed Anett Kontaveit for a place in only the second time. Her previous best in this tournament has been a loss in the 2018 final to Caroline Wozniacki.

He's training, he's available for every game, so I'm delighted with the boy. Morelos takes firm stance on racism Alfredo Morelos insists racist abuse won't force him out of Scottish football.

After a disappointing draw in the Europa League, MU returned to the English Premier League with the match at Old Trafford, they welcomed opponent Watford. Last weekend, MU suddenly won 2-0 despite being a guest of Chelsea. This valuable victory helped MU get 3 more points, getting closer to the top 4 goal. Besides the home advantage and the prosperity of Mu's play, "Red Devils" can completely be confident with the best confrontation record every time they encounter Watford. In the last 10 meetings, MU won 8 times. On the other side of the line, the Watford away team only won 1 point on Brighton's trip in the previous round
Gorki have been defeated in the recent match, when it was expected from this team to get up to the top of the table. They did not played well and showed that team is having weakness in the back line. Today, they are facing one of the rivals from the lower table place, and should be heading here as favorite.
He continued: "In this market place there are a number of brokers and banking groups that see this as a quick way to make money because they see these deals as being very visible and you might not need a world of credit expertise to understand that Barcelona or Real Madrid, at face value, will pay you back next year for a transfer. Football finance expert Kieran Maguire, of the University of Liverpool, describes the firm as a "boutique" lender that has spotted a gap in the industry.
Both sides have been struggling going forward this season though. Brighton have averaged 1.33 goals per home game and Bournemouth have averaged 1.11 goals per away game this term, and with three of Brighton’s home games this season ending all square (two being 1-1 draws), we think backing a 1-1 stalemate is worthwhile as well.
Boston have a 20-7 record for the season and are second overall in the Eastern Conference. They come into this game having won three matches in a row and are 7-2 for games played this month. The Celtics are looking to repeat the win they had over the Raptors earlier in the season when winning 112-106.
Liverpool have by far been the best side in the Premier League this season. They are the only remaining unbeaten side as the league goes into the 20th round of matches. They face a Wolves side that has registered a lot of growth in the past few seasons and has done well in the current campaign too. Wolves go to this game unbeaten in their last seven Premier League away matches. They have lost just two of their last 15 matches and have scored in all their last 15 matches. However, they will find a tough job waiting at Anfield, where Liverpool have not lost a league game in the last 49 outings. Liverpool have also won the last 16 league games at home and after their victory away to Leicester they will be fired up for this. In each of their last five matches, Liverpool have led in the first half, and went on to win. We believe they will extend this to Wolves, thus our bet is on Liverpool leading in both halves.
AFC Champions League games scheduled to be hosted by Iranian sides Shahr Khodro (against Bahrain's Riffa) and Esteghlal (against Kuwait SC) on Tuesday had been postponed and would be moved to the United Arab Emirates after several governments issuing travel warnings for Iran.

Frustrated Rooney is 'ready to play tomorrow'New team-mates 'star-struck' by ex-England captain"It is brilliant," said the 34-year-old, who joined Derby from MLS side DC United. There has been a lack of former England players going into management in the last 10 to 15 years. When they finish nowadays, players have enough money not to have to do it.
Former Arsenal youth striker Stephy Mavididi has joined French side Montpellier from Juventus for £5. The 22-year-old England Under-20 international spent last season on loan at Ligue 1 outfit Dijon, scoring eight times in 28 games.

Liverpool failed to score in a Premier League game for the first time since March 2019 (0-0 v Everton), ending a run of scoring in 36 consecutive league games. Liverpool have conceded 2+ goals in consecutive Premier League games for the first time since December 2016 conceding as many goals in their last two league games (5) as they had in their previous 14. Liverpool had just one shot on target in a Premier League game for the first time since February 2019 in a goalless draw against Manchester United (1).
Depending on where they are in that range of projected revenue (£560-580m), and if City and Liverpool do well in the Champions League, it could be very, very close. If you think about where we were 10 years ago, the idea that City would overhaul United in financial terms would have seemed far-fetched.

One of my main issues at the ground was around mobility," said the Reds fan. My friend walks with a stick and they were very helpful. They've got buggies but it wasn't organised. They were saying 'oh you can't go there, oh you can't go there', then we needed a lift and they said there was one but when we got there they said it was VIPs only. They need to get that right. There are a lot of people with mobility issues who follow football all around the world.

Mbao will host Simba for this fixture of the league. I believe, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. Simba is the best team of the league. The visitors have a great attack. They have a solid defense. Simba are undefeated in their last 5 matches. I think, they will try to make a positive result in this game. Also, we have Mbao who's is very average team in this league. True, Mbao are in poor shape. They are more vulnerable team in the last matches. I think, the hosts have little chance to win. Maybe this is - draw..
Stargard Szczecinski is going to face Bytovia Bytow. The hosts of this match won two matches in a row and today this match will be crucial for them. If they beat Bytovia they will stay in the 6th place in the league standings. I expect here a balanced clash and that's why there is a chance to not see more than 2 goals. Bytovia is pretty weak on away as they scored only 12 goals in 12 matches. I don't think that they will try to score here more goals and they should focus on the defense. I pick under 2.5 goals

There will no doubt be plenty of twists and turns before then, but all Arsenal can do is keep taking it one clash at a time and continue to evolve under Arteta.
