Newcastle Have £20m Bid Accepted for Bournemouth's Callum Wilson

Bayern Munich wrapped up their eighth straight Bundesliga title on Tuesday with a 1-0 win over Werder Bremen.

ille An asterisk. That little symbol. That one that football fans who don't follow Liverpool will be turning around and pointing to over the next few years, well, probably, when discussing the destination of the 2019/20 Premier League title. It's Liverpool's trophy, there's no doubt about that now. The only question that remains is just about when they'll make it official. The Reds return to action following the suspension of the Premier League season this weekend at Goodison Park, knowing that...
