The English Football Association, the Premier League and the English Football League (EFL) have all reportedly come to an agreement to finish the season behind closed doors. Football, amongst other sports, has been suspended across Europe since mid-March to prevent the spread of COVID-19 pandemic.

After a meeting between the FA and various other football representatives in England, the FA have confirmed that there will be no professional football until April 30. The original deadline was April 3 but after further investigation, the suspension has been increased to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Jose Mourinho conceded that while Southampton were the better side, his Tottenham team showed a lot more heart to win the close FA Cup tie. The North Londoners were second best for large parts of the fourth-round replay but eventually surged past thanks to goals from Lucas Moura and Son Heung-Min.

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has admitted that Gunners are in dire need of defenders after Shkodran Mustafi was stretchered off in the FA Cup tie against Bournemouth. They are already short of defenders with Calum Chambers and Kieran Tierney already sidelined with long term injuries.
