      Marquinhos is a major doubt for PSG after tearing an abductor in last week’s match.
      Should the Brazilian not return in time for this one, Danilo Pereira is likely to start at centre-back.
      Mauro Icardi and Layvin Kurzawa are also doubts with this and calf problems respectively.
      Goalkeeper Keylor Navas went off against Strasbourg with a reported muscular issue meaning former Fulham stopper Sergio Rico may have to step in between the sticks.
      Robert Lewandowski has stated that he will not be fit to play for Bayern in this second leg meaning Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is likely to continue up front against the team he represented last season.
      Serge Gnabry missed last week’s first leg with a positive Covid test and it remains to be seen whether he will be available for this game.
      On the other wing, Kingsley Coman – the hero of last year’s final – is also a doubt.
      Niklas Sule is set to miss out with a muscular injury while Marc Roca, Leon Goretzka and Jerome Boateng are all doubts.

      What is the team news?
      After firing four past Crystal Palace and keeping a clean sheet against Porto, again Thomas Tuchel has some tough decisions to make.
      Kai Havertz was excellent as a false No9 at Selhurt Park, opening the lead and creating for Christian Pulisic, who scored twice too.
      The pair, alongside playmaker Mason Mount, will expect to keep their place for the European clash.
      That would mean benching Timo Werner again, despite the German being preferred to Pulisic in Spain last week.
      But the American’s double, Havertz’s performance and Mount’s consistency means they are all primed to play.
      Although should Tuchel sense some tired legs, Werner is available to start on either flank, or through the middle.
      Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham have both made the bench in the last two matches and compete for a place up front.

      The roadmap states: “The government will also allow some larger performances and sporting events in indoor venues with a capacity of 1,000 people or half-full (whichever is a lower number), and in outdoor venues with a capacity of 4,000 people or half-full (whichever is a lower number).
      “In the largest outdoor seated venues, where crowds can be spread out, up to 10,000 people will be able to attend (or a quarter-full, whichever is lower).”
      This can be taken to mean that the play-off finals at Wembley will be played in front of 10,000 fans unless otherwise specified.
      However, it has yet to be confirmed whether participating EFL teams’ stadiums qualify as larger or smaller outdoor venues. More

      Tottenham vs Man Utd: Live stream, TV channel, team news and kick-off time for massive Premier League clash

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are back in Premier League action this weekend as they take on Tottenham. The Red Devils are looking to cement a place in the top four of the Premier League and a win over Spurs could go a long way in deciding their fate.

      What time does Tottenham vs Man Utd kick-off?

      Tottenham’s clash with Man Utd will get underway from 4.30pm UK time on Sunday, April 11.
      The game will take place in London at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
      There will be no fans in attendance at the clash because of coronavirus restrictions.

      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      Tottenham’s clash with Man Utd will be shown live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event.
      You can live stream the action from the Sky Go or NOW TV app, both of which are available for live streaming from your mobile or tablet device.

      Team news
      United have been handed a boost with Marcus Rashford set to be fit to start this weekend’s clash against Tottenham.
      The England star was on target in the 2-0 Europa League win over Granada but was withdrawn during the game due to a lingering foot issue.
      Edinson Cavani provided a late cameo on Thursday and may get a chance to start in Anthony Martial’s absence with Rashford back on the left.
      With the David De Gea and Dean Henderson saga rumbling on, Solskjaer made a big statement in starting the latter in midweek.
      Having regularly used his ‘back-up’ goalkeeper in the Europa League, it suggests Henderson will return to the starting XI this weekend.
      And Spaniard De Gea is reportedly set to be axed in the summer with Europe’s biggest clubs being offered his services.

      Odds

      Tottenham – 15/8
      Draw – 23/10
      Man Utd – 11/8

      Will England vs Scotland be played with away fans and how will tickets be sold?

      by

      MEMORIES of Euro 96 will be rekindled as England take on Scotland at Wembley in Euro 2020.But will we see another trademark Tartan Army invasion of the English capital this summer?
      The Tartan Army will hope to be able to travel in their thousands to WembleyCredit: Kenny Ramsay – The Sun Glasgow
      Here’s all you need to know.
      How many fans are allowed at England vs Scotland?
      Each of the host nations had made a submission to Uefa, declaring the minimum amount of fans they will allow at Euro 2020.
      For England, that figure is 25 per cent, meaning 22,500 fans are expected at Wembley as the Three Lions take on Scotland.
      The UK government and the FA are hoping to raise their minimum capacity to at least 50 per cent later in the tournament, but this is only likely to happen in the semi-finals and finals.
      Wembley is not one of the Euro 2020 venues to have offered to host away fansCredit: PA
      Are away fans allowed at Euro 2020?
      Only FOUR host nations have stated an intent to allow fans from abroad to attend games in their countries, and England is not one of them.
      Azerbaijan, Russia, Hungary and Romania have all sent proposals to Uefa outlining ways in which they could exempt Euro 2020 fans from quarantine requirements.
      England’s proposal means Croatia and Czech Republic fans would be unable to travel from overseas to watch their teams at Wembley, but this may not apply to Scotland.

      Can Scotland fans attend England away?
      As there is no border to cross for Scotland fans to enter England, the FA and Uefa are believed to have agreed that the Tartan Army can be given a 16 per cent allocation – as they would have been at a pre-Covid tournament.
      That would mean an away attendance of 3,600 at Wembley for football’s oldest international fixture.
      There would also be no restrictions on Scots in England buying tickets if they are able to acquire them through the regular sales process.
      That means the real number of Scots at the home of football could be over four thousand.
      How do I get England vs Scotland tickets and can I attend if I’ve already bought them?
      Uefa will confirm ticketing details for all games in due course. More
