Novak Djokovic has been in dominant form during this tournament. He faces one of his greatest rivals in this semi-final but one that he has dominated in recent years. Federer has strugglef to get to the last four and that might have taken something out of him fitness wise. Go for Djokovic to win this match in straight sets.
It was wrong. In the end, we are not in control of individuals' actions. And so I think it obviously got out of hand in the same way we have seen gatherings on beaches, street parties and all these sorts of things going on within wider society. Black Lives Matter protestsSince the Premier League restarted, players and officials have taken a knee at the start of matches in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Another worry for the visitors is that this weekend takes them to a side who have spent the majority of the campaign in the playoff spots, with Forest aiming to secure another home victory and continue their top-six push.
Mikel Arteta celebratesGetty Images KEY MOMENTS 2' - OFF THE POST! Xhaka misplaces a pass as Arsenal try to play out from the back. Bowen pounces, launching a shot from 25 yards that Leno pushes onto the post. Arsenal are lucky to get away with that. OFF THE CROSSBAR! How is this still goalless? Arsenal work a short corner, West Ham fail to clear their lines and Aubameyang floats an inch-perfect cross to the unmarked Sokratis, who heads it straight at the bar! 40' - MISS!

Rangers, Hibs and Motherwell all have loftier ambitions for their league campaign than Hearts' goal of survival. Instead of holding on for a point, the Tynecastle club were going for the win against third-placed Motherwell in the closing stages of Saturday's match. Despite being three adrift, signs are encouraging - although defensive frailties remain a thorn in head coach Daniel Stendel's side. Despite good work from Christopher Long, Craig Halkett's lack of concentration in conceding possession for Motherwell's opener had Hearts having to fight their way back.
Video - Solskjaer: ‘Manchester United were the best they’ve been this season’00:28 "It's the best he’s had under me. He was mature, strong against good Premier League players," the Norwegian said. It’s like he was back on the playground or in the back garden. We want them to have fun, there’s nothing dangerous out there - just 75,00 people, wanting to see the best," he said.
Ajax have continued to pay his salary but have now formally cancelled the contract, which was due to automatically renew on July 1, the Dutch media reported on Tuesday. The club are in talks with Nouri’s family about a future solution for the player, who has been moved to a specially adapted room at his home after years in hospital, the daily De Telegraaf added.
Was good because we managed to win some nice things. But on the opposite side I learned and I feel that I'm a better coach now than I was then. The important thing is after you are sacked you don't blame. You try to prepare for the future by analysing what happened in the past. Tottenham have shown an immediate improvement under Mourinho, scoring 10 goals in three games, albeit conceding six.
All eight Gorodeja league games this season have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Seven out of eight Zhodino games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. 16 league games played by these two sides this season have produced only 25 goals. The weekend saw Zhodino miss out on the chance to go top of the Belarus Premier League.
Dembele got his 14th league goal of the season, his 10th in all competitions in 2020, with a penalty and Houssem Aouar struck deep into added time to lift OL to sixth with 37 points from 26 games. Lyon host Juve in their Champions League last 16, first leg tie on Wednesday and, if they were not impressive, at least Dembele lived up to his reputation.
There are two full rounds of 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers scheduled for the international window later this month, while the African Champions League and Confederation Cup club competitions are in the knockout stages. A number of nations, including Madagascar, have already banned the hosting of international sports events, putting them on a collision course with CAF and providing the potential that they may have to forfeit matches.

After all, these teams had already shared two goalless draws this season - including the first tie - and there had only been more than two goals in two of their last 10 meetings. The first-half was forgettable - El Makrini's superb acrobatic opener aside - as Kilmarnock deservedly led at the break. This match had the sense of a season-definer for Aberdeen, having tested fans' patience with a poor start to 2020 before a win against Hamilton Academical and a battling performance in defeat by Celtic earned them some respite.

With Jamie Vardy, James Maddison and Youri Tielemans at the peak of their powers, Leicester City are playing with a real swagger at the moment, and the Foxes will be out to win their third away game on the spin this weekend.
The visitors doubled their lead 15 minutes later as Barkhuizen pounced on a defensive error to seize possession and set up Josh Harrop, whose attempt rebounded for Johnson to score with a half-volley. Barnsley's Marcel Ritzmaier threatened to halve the deficit soon afterwards, unleashing a left-footed effort that forced another flying save from Rudd.
Only striker Teemu Pukki with 14 goal involvements has more for the club. But Cantwell has not always been universally popular with Canaries supporters and he addressed this in a tweet in December saying: "I'm on my way to the top and no-one is going to stop me. Having won one England Under-21 cap, he may count himself unlucky to emerge amid a generation of attacking midfielders that includes James Maddison, Jack Grealish, Mason Mount and Phil Foden.
Any time a side makes a trip to Cumbria, they know that they are probably not going to have an easy time of things. However, this particular fixture sees a Carlisle side who are short of confidence and goals at the moment coming up against a Plymouth side who are at the top of their game. While we do not expect it to be a walkover, an away win appears to be the way to go.
Manchester CityOnly one of the previous 29 teams to win a League Cup semi-final first leg by two or more goals have then been eliminated, with Tranmere Rovers going out against Aston Villa in 1993-94 (3-1 first leg, 1-3 second leg, lost 5-4 on penalties). Manchester City are looking to become only the third team to reach three League Cup finals in a row, after Liverpool (four in a row between 1981 and 1984) and Nottingham Forest (1978 to 1980).

Ankaragucu sit on 17th spot right now and have not won in their last 8 matches. They have suffered 4 defeats in their last 5 matches and coming off a defeat against Istanbul Basaksehir by 2-1 goals. They have scored only 8 goals in this season. They have no winning chance against the visitors here. But they will try to keep their defense tight and not concede any goals.
Obviously Chelsea won't want to let him leave on loan, but Barkley isn't featuring for the Blues on a regular basis. The 26-year-old hasn't really found his feet since moving to Stamford Bridge, so a loan spell elsewhere could help him rediscover his form. Barkley is an England regular and clearly a favourite of Gareth Southgate, but at this rate he will struggle to make the Three Lions' Euro 2020 squad.
Team GB's place at the Games was secured when England finished as one of the top three European teams at the World Cup, reaching the semi-finals. Lionesses manager Phil Neville will take charge of the British squad. TWO FRONTS Before that, though, the pressure is on Little and her Arsenal team mates to maintain their form on two fronts.
Tranmere haven’t enjoyed a successful season so far, winning just five games this season and struggling to get out of the League One relegation zone in recent weeks. They’ve picked up just one win in their last eight games and haven’t been able to win consecutive games at all this season. They’ve scored a decent amount, 1.17 goals per game on average, but have really struggling in defence, conceding 43 goals which translates to just under 2 goals a game.
Chrudim pretty much lost all hope about a possible top 3 finish by losing last round with 2-1 away at Vlasim and they did have some scoring chances at 1-1 to take the lead but in the end they were on the losing end. Still at home not that they have defended that well either because they drew 2-2 with Hradec Kralove who can be quite toothless in attack in their away games, and also won 4-3 with Jihlava, but still very good attack to score so many goals in home games against teams fighting for promotion at this stage.
Win or bust' - Darrren Fletcher on how Leicester will try to beat LiverpoolMOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES@SimonBrotherton: What a few days it has been for Liverpool. The newly-crowned club world champions also strengthened their grip on the title race without even playing last weekend following Leicester's defeat to Manchester City. Jurgen Klopp's side also have a game in hand to go with their double-digit lead at the top of the table.
United are vying to go seven games unbeaten against Chelsea for the first time this century. Manchester UnitedUnited are playing in their 30th FA Cup semi-final - a joint record with Arsenal. They could become the first side to reach the final on 21 occasions.

The Dutch star initially made a positive impact at the north London side before they eventually dropped out of the Football League. Davids stayed at the club, assigning himself the number one shirt (who could forget?), but was sent off three times as the Bees spent a season in mid-table. As part of his contract, he reportedly negotiated a clause that meant he didn't have to manage a game where an overnight stay beforehand was necessary - assistant Ulrich Landvreugd would take charge instead.
Sampdoria vs Bologna predictions for Serie A match Saturday night. Both Sampdoria and Bologna must bounce back from defeat when they meet this weekend. The time is near for Sampdoria to stay away from the relegation zone. They have had two difficult matches since the restart, with a 2-1 defeat away this month leaving them back only only one point from the drop zone. Returning home was an encouragement to Samp, who had to end their inconsistent records here. Both have very diverse records with each other, leaving this one in balance. The score prediction for this match is over 3 goals in the last minute running time of this match.
I would still back them to beat Watford though, because the Hornets have lost all of their momentum. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Simon's prediction: Chelsea are still a work in progress - we saw that when they lost to West Ham on Wednesday - but they have got so many talented players and they are beginning to show signs of that toughness they need to see games out. SUNDAY Burnley v Sheff Utd (12:00 BST)Both of these sides still have an eye on a European spot for next season.

Earlier in April, culture secretary Oliver Dowden said the Premier League was considering making some behind-closed-doors fixtures available free-to-air when the season restarts. Plans to resume the Premier League season stepped up this week in what has been labelled 'Project Restart', with Arsenal, Brighton and West Ham opening their training grounds to players for individual work on Monday. The league is hopeful of a potential 8 June restart and finishing at the end of July to fit in with Uefa's European competition plans.
But wait! What’s this?!? Jamie Jackson in the Guardian reports: "Manchester United are considering a fresh bid for Sporting Lisbon’s Bruno Fernandes, with negotiations set to be ramped up before Friday’s 11pm transfer deadline. United had an offer of €45m (£38m) plus add-ons for the 25-year-old midfielder rejected by Sporting, who value Fernandes at €85m.
Arsenal have only won four of their 18 matches away in all competitions this season. Olympiakos have only lost one of their 18 matches at home in all competitions this season. Sunday's 4-0 win over Newcastle was the first match in which Arteta's Arsenal scored more than two goals (from ten games).
