The Rivier Derby gets things started at 9:30 ET on FS1 and we’re in for a great title race from there. We wrapped up some details for you on where to watch and what the latest news is surrounding the restart. Portugal’s Primeira Liga has also agreed upon and been given a restart date of June 4, but out of Europe’s elite leagues, those are the only two with anything solidified.

Meanwhile, the Premier League has been given the go-ahead from the British government to restart on June 1, but clubs must still vote to confirm that. The Champions League and Europa League are still indefinitely postponed. Here’s a brilliant, easy to read roundup of every league for you from CBS Sports.

• Heung-min Son completed his mandatory military training in South Korea during the quarantine break and did so top of his class. He’s an excellent marksman – with a gun, not just in front of goal – as earned a 10 of 10 on the shooting range and earned the Pilsung award for being a top performer.
• Not the first North London football star to be robbed at knife-point this season, Dele Alli found himself at the mercy of thieves who entered his home this past week. They made off with some of his valuables, leaving Alli with facial injuries, but nothing serious.
• Harry Kane is paying it back both to the world’s health care workers and the club that handed him his senior debut. Kane debuted the new home, away and third tops with the club. The home top features a message thanking the frontline workers risking their lives for others, while the away strips feature the logo of Mental health charity Mind and Haven House Children's Hospice. 10% of the kit’s sales will go to the respective cause on each top’s front.

Charlie Elena Carrasco, born May 7, 2020 is the newest member of the Carrasco family. Alex called her newborn her “super moon” baby, as she was born the morning of a super moon, while Servando called her birthday the “best day of [his] life.”

Even without the translation, Mo's gas station sixteen(ish) is something to behold.
