Manchester United face LASK in a Europa League last-16 dead rubber on Wednesday having won the first leg 5-0 in March , while City hold a 2-1 lead over Real Madrid going into the second leg of their Champions League last-16 second-leg tie on Friday .
The International Football Association Board ( IFAB ) announced new rules earlier this year that came into effect on 1 June 2020 , the official start of the international @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confirmed those rules will be implemented during the final stages of this season 's competitions .
The rule changes are as follows ... • An offence ( encroachment ) by the goalkeeper is not penalised if a penalty kick misses the goal or rebounds from the goal ( without a touch from the goalkeeper ) unless the offence clearly affected the kicker .
• The goalkeeper is warned for the first offence ; it is a yellow card for any further offence ( s ) .

Law 14 – The penalty kick
An offence (encroachment) by the goalkeeper is not penalised if a penalty kick misses the goal or rebounds from the goal (without a touch from the goalkeeper) unless the offence clearly affected the kicker.
The goalkeeper is warned for the first offence; it is a yellow card for any further offence(s).
The kicker is penalised if the goalkeeper and the kicker offend at exactly the same time.
UEFA’s chief refereeing officer, Roberto Rosetti, said: “When the goalkeeper saves the kick [by encroaching], it’s not a caution for the first offence, but [the keeper] must be cautioned for any further offence.
“Most goalkeeper encroachment results from a mis-anticipation from the goalkeeper and small offences are now detected more with the technology, with the video assistant referee.”

Law 10 – Determining the Outcome of a Match
For games that require a penalty shootout, yellow cards will no longer be carried forward into the shootout. This applies to all players but is particularly relevant to goalkeepers, who face more scrutiny during the shootout.
Rosetti said: “According to IFAB and according to the Laws of the Game, the kicks from the penalty mark are not part of the match - it’s just a way to determine the winner of the match. So, [at the moment] if the goalkeeper has a yellow card from the match – from the match or from extra time – and then encroaches in the kicks from the penalty mark, of course, then he must be sent off. This would be more likely to occur now with VAR, and the goalkeeper can be penalised more than other players. We think that this is a good, important change.”

“I am so happy to be joining City,” Torres said. “Every player wants to be involved in attacking teams and Manchester City are one of the most attacking in world football.
“Pep encourages a really open, aggressive style, which I love, and he is a manager with a proven track record of improving players. To have him overseeing my development is a dream.
“City have won plenty of trophies in the last 10 years and I hope I can play a role in continuing that success.”
Director of football Txiki Begiristain added: “We have followed Ferran’s progress closely and have been very impressed.
“He is young and still developing, but his technical qualities are exactly what we are looking for in a winger. He is quick, direct, can create space with one movement and is capable of producing match-winning moments.
“I feel this is the perfect place for him to develop and with Pep in charge he can take his game to the next level.”
City have also lined up Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake but he is unlikely to complete an initial £40million deal until next week at the earliest.

All tickets sold for the annual Autumn Festival and the Season Finale will now be refunded.
The first of three behind-closed-doors meetings will take place on Monday, August 10.
The decision to move it from the weekend was made to minimise the risk of gatherings around the course.
Further "closed" race meets are scheduled to take place on Friday, August 14 and Thursday, August 20.
In a statement, the racecourse said: “Following Government advice that spectators will not return to sporting events until 1 October, we regret to confirm that our September fixtures with a crowd have now been cancelled.
“All customers who have pre-purchased tickets and hospitality to one of the aforementioned dates will be contacted directly in the coming days and in due course issued a full refund, in accordance with the company’s ticket terms and conditions.
"Whilst we are disappointed at the outcome, the health and safety of our customers, staff and members of the local community remain of utmost importance and we hope you appreciate why we have had to make this decision.”
Stewards will patrol the perimeter to ensure safe social distancing at popular viewing points outside the Roodee.
It comes after Chester Racecourse bosses announced the cancellation of all July and August races and events as a result of the pandemic.
The popular Boodles May festival was also cancelled due to the Covid-19 crisis.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-08-04--Here’s what you could be fined for under Greater Manchester’s new lockdown law

This afternoon the legislation to enforce new lockdown rules in Greater Manchester was published .
It allows the police to fine people £100 for entering someone ’ s house or garden , with certain exceptions .
However it doesn ’ t include any legal restrictions on going to the pub , despite more restrictive advice being issued last week .
Therefore some of the guidance we were given last Thursday has not been put into law .
So here ’ s what it means for you .
What is this new legislation , where does it apply and when does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which was due to be published on Friday but only materialised this afternoon , is designed to allow police to enforce new partial lockdown restrictions in Greater Manchester as a result of rising Covid infection rates .
This follows the announcement of fresh guidance by the Department of Health and Social Care for the conurbation - and some other parts of the north - on Thursday night , for the same reason .
Today ’ s legislation applies to all ten boroughs , but states that the health secretary can issue a directive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rules if he sees fit .
It comes into force at midnight and will be reviewed by August 19 at the latest , but could be reviewed before that .
What does it mean for visiting friends and family ?
Legally , from midnight , you will only be allowed to go into another person ’ s house or garden if very specific circumstances apply .
It applies not only to going into the other person ’ s house itself , but also their garden , yard , ‘ passage , stair , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its premises .
However if you are in a ‘ support bubble ’ with another household - referred to in the legislation as ‘ linked ’ households - you will still be able to mix .
This can not be any two households .
One of them has to be a single-adult household or a single parent household .
There are also other more specific exemptions ( see below ) .
Are there any other exceptions ?
If you are attending a woman giving birth , at her request , you are allowed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you believe a friend or family member is dying , you would be exempt .
Anyone ‘ fulfilling a legal obligation ’ is too - although the legislation doesn ’ t give an example of that .
Equally , you can mix for ‘ reasonably necessary ’ purposes for work , to provide voluntary or charity services , to provide education or training , or as a registered childcare provider .
That would suggest that tradespeople such as decorators are an exception too .
You can also go into someone ’ s house @ @ @ @ @ @ @ illness or to escape a risk of harm ’ , which suggests anyone fleeing domestic violence may have some legal protection .
Anyone helping with a house move is exempt too , as well as anyone providing care or assistance to a vulnerable person .
Vulnerable people are defined as pregnant women , people over 70 and people under 70 who have an underlying health condition that puts them particularly at risk from Covid .
Finally , you can go inside another person ’ s house to continue existing parental access arrangements , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with one or more of their parents .
What does this mean for childcare ?
The legislation provides for paid childcare arrangements - so you can still have a childminder in your house .
If you rely on informal childcare arrangements , things are a bit trickier .
Under the legislation , there is no mention of any exceptions for this .
So , by default , you can only legally have someone round to look after your kids - unless they 're a childminder - if they are linked up with you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ above .
What does it say about pubs and restaurants ?
Last week ’ s new guidance - the rules announced suddenly by the Department of Health and Social Care on Thursday night - said households should not now mix inside the pub in Greater Manchester .
Clarification released on Friday afternoon then stated that they can mix outside a pub or restaurant ( so in a beer garden or at an outside table ) , in groups of no more than six , unless the group is made up of no more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on meeting inside or outside the pub - or in a restaurant - appear in the legislation .
So while we are still being advised not to meet friends in the local , it is n't illegal .
What does it say about meeting up in the park ?
The legislation says no more than 30 people at a time must meet up in outdoor public spaces .
The law exempts business premises and spaces run by charities or as visitor attractions from the 30-people rule .
Outdoor gatherings of more than 30 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , charities , public bodies and political parties so long as they have carried out a risk assessment .
Professional sportspeople and their coaches are also exempt for training or competition purposes , as are gatherings of more than 30 where it is ‘ reasonably necessary ’ for work , voluntary or charity purposes , for education or training , professional childminding , for emergency assistance or ‘ to fulfil a legal obligation ’ .
Anything resembling an indoor rave - in other words anything already legally classed as a rave if it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or more is banned .
Can I go on holiday ?
It would appear so .
You can ’ t go and stay in someone else ’ s house , either here or outside Greater Manchester - unless they ’ re in your support bubble .
But you can go and stay in a hotel , bed and breakfast , caravan site or ‘ members club ’ , all of which are explicitly exempted from the rules about households mixing indoors .
How much can I be fined ?
The legislation says anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can be hit with a £100 fixed penalty notice by the police .
If you ’ re caught a second time , that rises to £200 , £400 the third time , £800 the fourth time , £1,600 the fifth time and £3,200 the sixth time .
It also allows the Crown Prosecution Service to prosecute .
How strictly will this be enforced ?
Greater Manchester Police have yet to comment on the new legislation , so it is too soon to say .
How will I know when the law changes again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reviewed at least every fortnight , which means by August 19 .
However Matt Hancock , the Chief Medical Officer and other government officials - as well as leaders here - are reviewing the local infection rates on at least a weekly basis , with further updates usually due on a Thursday .
Additionally the legislation also allows for the health secretary to issue a direction removing any local authority from the current restrictions .
How any change would be announced is not clear .
This article has been updated following clarification from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around how the law applies to pubs .

Legally, from midnight, you will only be allowed to go into another person’s house or garden if very specific circumstances apply.
It applies not only to going into the other person’s house itself, but also their garden, yard, ‘passage, stair, outhouse’ or any other part of its premises.

Vulnerable people are defined as pregnant women, people over 70 and people under 70 who have an underlying health condition that puts them particularly at risk from Covid.
Finally, you can go inside another person’s house to continue existing parental access arrangements, if the child isn’t living with one or more of their parents.
What does this mean for childcare?
The legislation provides for paid childcare arrangements - so you can still have a childminder in your house.
If you rely on informal childcare arrangements, things are a bit trickier.

What does it say about meeting up in the park?
The legislation says no more than 30 people at a time must meet up in outdoor public spaces.
That includes parks, national parks and public roads.
The law exempts business premises and spaces run by charities or as visitor attractions from the 30-people rule.
Outdoor gatherings of more than 30 people can also be held by companies, charities, public bodies and political parties so long as they have carried out a risk assessment.
Professional sportspeople and their coaches are also exempt for training or competition purposes, as are gatherings of more than 30 where it is ‘reasonably necessary’ for work, voluntary or charity purposes, for education or training, professional childminding, for emergency assistance or ‘to fulfil a legal obligation’.

Anything resembling an indoor rave - in other words anything already legally classed as a rave if it happened outside - of over 30 people or more is banned.
Can I go on holiday?
It would appear so.
You can’t go and stay in someone else’s house, either here or outside Greater Manchester - unless they’re in your support bubble.
But you can go and stay in a hotel, bed and breakfast, caravan site or ‘members club’, all of which are explicitly exempted from the rules about households mixing indoors.
How much can I be fined?
The legislation says anyone found to be breaking the new law can be hit with a £100 fixed penalty notice by the police.

If you’re caught a second time, that rises to £200, £400 the third time, £800 the fourth time, £1,600 the fifth time and £3,200 the sixth time. It also allows the Crown Prosecution Service to prosecute.
