TALKING POINT Newcastle progress on a drama-filled night: This was a night of breathtaking drama at the Kassam Stadium. Who said the FA Cup has lost its magic? Oxford looked dead and buried at two goals down but the League One side never gave up hope, setting up an extra-time period filled with excitement.
More than 1. France is one of the most badly affected countries in the world with over 82,000 cases and 8,078 deaths. With the world champions' players in lockdown in their respective homes, the French Football Federation (FFF) made a compilation of the individual video messages from players and coaches to thank nursing staff at various hospitals in France.

All of a sudden we've got a new manager, one of the best managers there's been in the game, so automatically you have to turn your head towards that and focus on the game. Harry Kane scored in Mourinho's first game in chargeReuters "We all want to win. We wanted to win when Mauricio was here; we want to win the same now the gaffer's here.

It's sad to see Bournemouth playing the way they are. It's been a struggle all season and if they do go down (which looks very likely), a player exodus is likely during the summer. They are in terrible form and have been letting in far too many goals. Tottenham have won two of their last three league games and need to continue to keep winning if they want European football next season. Go for an away win in this match.
Good news is that before the end of the month we have two new players, Hugo Lloris and Ben Davies. This is good news," he said of the imminent return of keeper Lloris, who has been injured since Mourinho took over, and left back Davies who has made only one appearance in that period. I don't want to speak about Harry because if I speak too much I get depressed, and then you say I'm miserable and in a bad mood.
Romelu Lukaku scored Inter's winner in first-half stoppage time although the Belgian knew little about it. Alexis Sanchez clipped the ball into the area and, although Lukaku's header was saved by Iliev, the ball rebounded off the goalkeeper's head and looped into the goal. Lukaku and Sanchez then both hit the woodwork in the second half as Inter eased through to the last 16.
The Bundesliga announced over a year ago it would stop Monday games after its current television deal expires, but protests are expected to continue. In previous seasons Nuremberg fans have thrown black balls onto the pitch, 25,000 Borussia Dortmund fans have stayed away and Mainz fans have thrown toilet paper on the field.
Having played an equal amount of games at home and away this season, it's clear to see that Chelsea are much better on the road in the Premier League. Newcastle have form and a poor head-to-head record going against them. It will be a struggle for them to contain a side with so much attacking talent and attacking licence. Chelsea have had more shots than any Premier League team bar Man City this season and their expected goals tally suggests they could work on their finishing. We foresee a few Chelsea shots going in on the way to another away-day victory.
The FA Cup quarter-finals get under way this weekend - finally. One of the teams involved have not reached the last eight since 1992.

The Portuguese worked with the striker during their time at Inter Milan and Manchester United, and have famously maintained a close personal bond. We have the best striker in England," said Mourinho. It doesn't make any sense for a striker of Zlatan's dimension to come to a club where we have Harry Kane.
Making the trip to Cumbria on Boxing Day is a Bradford City side who have been solid if a little unspectacular since their return to England’s fourth tier. The Bantams currently sit in fifth position in League Two and while they can still challenge for the title, they know that they need to improve on a run of form which has seen them claim just one win in their last five league matches.
The FIGC did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Some clubs such as third-placed Inter, who have had two games postponed, feel that they are at a sporting disadvantage to those who have not had any games called off. Inter have dropped eight points behind leaders Lazio, who have played twice and won both games in the same period, and are six adrift of Juventus, who have played once since the restrictions were introduced.
Amazing news. Vialli, who also won Serie A as a player at Sampdoria, said he had written a will in case he did not make it. You realise just by writing down everything you own that it's just materialistic stuff," he added. We are much more than that. I have my family. I've got the love of my wife, my daughters and friends, people who like me, think about me and send me prayers and positive energy. Media playback is not supported on this device Gianluca Vialli tells BBC Radio 5 Live his take on whether the football season should start again.

Kiki Bertens obviously likes it in St Petersburg and is looking to win this title for the second year in a row. She has reached four other finals since her win here last year and has been in good form this week. Her opponent has made a good start to 2020 and is one to keep an eye on for the rest of the year. She has struggled in the last two rounds of this tournament and Bertens is favoured to win this match and retain her title.
They've scored double the amount of goals as Napoli, the team currently sitting second in the group but have conceded three times as many goals, the real problem stopping them from being a true force in the group. Their games see an average of 5.5 goals in the Champions League so far and they'll be keen to give their fans plenty to cheer about again in matchweek 5.
If there is at least option on over 3,5 I will take that, but because that option in this bet is not real, I will take just over 2,5. So, Saburtalo is team who is like rival, team who is playing very efficient for a long time and this team is played in last three matches 1-3, 6-1 and 3-1, so this results are showing how this team is playing all the time. Sioni is lost in last round against Lokomotiva 1-2, so over 2,5 in this match is for me more than ok and very very real. I will try that.
The hosts were actually league leaders after the opening 3 rounds with just as many wins to their name starting with a totally unexpected win at home against BATE no less than 3-1 they won that game, followed by a 1-0 win away at sturdy Rukh Brest which is one of the surprises of this new season, and 3rd game a 2-0 win at home against FC Minsk. But than followed 3 defeats in a row losing first 2-0 at Zhodino, poor defensive errors cost them the points, lost 1-0 at home to Gorodeja missing too much, and finally with 3-0 away at Neman because of awful defending.
And playing behind closed doors is going to be very strange. Even without spectators, home teams will still have the same routine, and still be used to their own pitch so there is an advantage there - but it is not as big as if you have got 50,000 people roaring you on. It will be very interesting to see if that affects referees too. Normally if they make a big decision against the home team, they face howls of derision.
I only see here one even and though match where one goal can decide the winner. Both teams are going to have a tough fight to avoid relegation and I expect to get into the match with precautions for sure. They are both in mixed form so cannot be trusted. This is a very important match for both of them as this is a direct match between two rivals to avoid relegation so due to that I don't think that we are going to see some interesting match for sure. I think both teams and coaches will settle in for a draw here today.
City's number 2 was talked about as a possible successor to Arsene Wenger when the Frenchman stepped down 18 months ago, but was eschewed in favour of former Paris Saint Germain boss Emery. Of course he’ll [Arteta] be a manager sooner or later, he’s young, always he’ll have that," said Guardiola. We are going to finish the season and in future I don’t know what will happen.
So PSG progress and deservedly so. No one knows what to, but the wild celebrations inside and outside the ground told us that for now, they'll take it. TALKING POINT PSG are a disgrace. We all love football. Football is exceedingly lovable. These are universal axioms. But some things, like global pandemics, take precedence, so PSG congratulating the fans who gathered outside the ground, instead of imploring them to disperse, was, and is, appalling.
Paper Round's views: It is clear that Tottenham need a new goalkeeper, with Lloris making a string of high-profile gaffes over the past couple of years and advancing in years. If Strakosha has indeed decided to stay at Lazio, then they need to prioritise a new keeper in the summer transfer window and attempt to sell on the Frenchman.
GOAL! Oxford 2-3 Newcastle (Saint-Maximin): Surely this is the winner?! It's a brilliant individual goal by Saint-Maximin. With a crowd of players in front of him, he skips past them all, gets the ball out of his feet and smashes a shot into the corner of the net. Magic. KEY STATS Newcastle have reached the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time since the 2005-06 season, when they were eventually knocked out at the quarter-final stage by Chelsea.
SERIE A While Juventus will be joping to sign Paul Pogba for a second time, they will likely let another midfielder, Adrien Rabiot, leave with Arsenal being heavily linked to the Frenchman who has struggling to find a regular first eleven berth in the line-up of the Scudetto favourites. Kalidou Koulibaly is another player linked to the Emirates Stadium, but Carlo Ancelotti will try to use his connections to get the Napoli centre half to Goodison Park.
He is a different striker for us and scores some good goals, there are not many who could dig that one out for his first. We have a team of good players. Meanwhile, Ighalo, who scored his second and third goals for United, is delighted with the impact he has made since his surprise move to Old Trafford in January move from Shanghai Shenhua.
He got the shot away, but strikes the outside of the near post! 45' Double change! Zidane has rung the changes for the start of the second half. Vinicius and Vazquez are coming on for Real Madrid. Will that help change the game for the home side? They desperately lacked width in the first half. GOAL! Real Madrid 1-0 Atletico Madrid: The breakthrough! Real Madrid have taken the lead in the Derbi and it's Benzema! Mendy burst into the box and crosses into the middle for the French striker who took it first time and slammed a finish past Oblak and into the back of the net! KEY STATS Ferland Mendy made his first assist in 18 appearances for Real Madrid since signing from Lyon in the summer.
I want to be part of it, I’m happy to be here," he added. Chelsea also wished Moses luck for the rest of the season with a message on Twitter. Moses, who had returned to Chelsea at the end of a loan spell at Turkish side Fenerbahce, will be the eighth Nigerian to play for Inter in the club's history.
Bayern Leverkusen will be against Freiburg at home after International break. Both teams are eager to catch up an International place after the end of the season, But Freiburg are already in Champions League place in the table, if they can keep up to it with this game no one knows. One of Freiburg top striker Waldschmidt got injured in Germany vs Belarus game and will miss this game according to his injury. Leverkusen are 8th with 18 points from 11 matches 17 goals against 15, while Freiburg are 4th with 21 points and 20 goals against 12. I go for over 2.5 goals to be scored in the game.
Here's my team of the week - have a read and then select your own below. Goalkeeper - David de Gea (Manchester United) David de Gea: It's in games like Manchester derbies you need nerves of steel and goalkeepers you can rely on. David de Gea is one of those keepers. Martin Dubravka's performance for Newcastle saved the day against Southampton and Vicente Guaita was responsible for Crystal Palace keeping a clean sheet away at Vicarage Road.
Dorking and Dartford will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League South. Dorking this season have the following results: 12W, 6D and 6L. Meanwhile Dartford have 9W, 7D and 8L.

But Bournemouth are having a good spell too, and they were decent even in defeat at Manchester City on Wednesday. The Cherries have been struggling for results on the road - they have lost nine away games in a row - but their home form has been better, plus they will be full of confidence after their recent run. This is the biggest game of the season for them and it happens to be a local derby, albeit without any fans again.
Asked if he might have been interested in the job at the Emirates had the vacancy occurred two weeks earlier, the Portuguese made clear there was no point in pursuing that line of questioning. It didn't happen, happened now. I am so happy here that I couldn't even think about the possibility to go to another place," he told reporters ahead of Spurs' home Premier League game against Bournemouth on Saturday.
