We’re already filing this season’s Premier League under ‘no, we’re not even going to try explaining this’. Leicester are seven points clear, Chelsea are stuck in mid-table, and Spurs have the best goal difference by far. There’s no point trying to make sense of it, just enjoy it for what it is. But as we […]

If Manchester City want to make an early statement in their Champions League quarter final second leg, they will have to do so without Yaya Toure. The Ivorian midfielder has been dropped for the visit of Paris Saint-Germain, despite returning to action at the weekend against West Bromwich Albion. City have named an unchanged side […]

Anthony Joshua might be IBF world heavyweight champion, but some of his new fans might not even have heard of him had he not been able to kick an addiction to video games. The Watford fighter is a huge FIFA aficionado, and was even a guest at the launch of FIFA 16 in London last […]

Those of us who signed up to Netflix in the early days have been able to enjoy the streaming service for its original £5.99/month price, some of us for a number of years. For anyone who’s been watching a lot of full series, it’s still cheaper than buying the various box-sets – especially when there […]

In all the discussion of Leicester’s scarcely believable rise from relegation contenders to champions-elect, one element has rarely cropped up. While many mention the late-season run under Nigel Pearson, few recall the potential momentum-sapping two minute spell at Turf Moor which could have seen it all come to naught. On April 25, 2015, the Foxes […]

Arsenal could be ready to welcome Jack Wilshere and Tomas Rosicky back to first team action very soon, with the midfield pair returning for the under-21s. Wilshere managed 65 minutes of the 3-1 victory over Newcastle United’s young guns, while Rosicky was withdrawn at half-time in his first appearance since suffering a thigh injury in the FA […]

Anthony Joshua faces the biggest test of his professional boxing career on Saturday as he takes on Charles Martin at the O2 Arena. The Watford fighter has a 15-0-0 record to defend, but St Louis southpaw Martin is also unbeaten in a 24-fight career. It promises to be an intriguing fight, with Friday’s weigh-in only […]

Liverpool have earned an impressive 1-1 draw away at Borussia Dortmund thanks to Divock Origi’s potentially-crucial away goal. The Belgian struck late in the first half, and while Mats Hummels equalised shortly after the break a solid defensive effort was enough for Jurgen Klopp’s side to hold off the usually free-scoring Germans. Before the game, few […]

England striker Daniel Sturridge will start Liverpool’s Europa League quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund from the bench. Jurgen Klopp has made just one change from the team that drew with Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend, with Divock Origi replacing the England man in attack. Roberto Firmino returns to the matchday squad, but is only fit enough for […]

There are few managers in Europe whose club’s fans have taken to them as quickly as Liverpool fans have adopted Jurgen Klopp as one of their own. The German has led the club to a cup final in his first season in charge, while producing plenty of memorable performances since replacing Brendan Rodgers in October. […]

There’s a fine line between glory and failure in football, and Arsenal know that all too well. The Gunners saw their 2011 Champions League hopes ended by a contentious Robin van Persie red card, while a once-in-a-lifetime matchwinning performance denied them in the same competition seven years earlier. And now we can add something else […]

There can’t be too many players who have turned out for this season’s English and Spanish champions-elect, but Gary Lineker is one of them.

In the space of a week, Vincent Janssen went from being a relative unknown among English football fans to being very much on their radar.

Leicester don’t quite have the Premier League title wrapped up, but they’re remarkably close. The Foxes moved seven points clear of second-place Tottenham with victory over Southampton on Sunday, and despite the efforts of one flag-seller to jinx Claudio Ranieri’s team it seems the title is all but theirs. That’s certainly the opinion of bookmakers […]

Ever since Ronda Rousey lost her bantamweight belt and undefeated record to Holly Holm, the MMA world has been waiting for Rowdy to return. Some had hoped the American would be back in time for UFC 200, but seeing as she is only just back eating apples, it’s no surprise we’ll have to wait a […]

By now, we’ve heard plenty about how remarkable a turnaround Leicester City have made in the last 12 months. The Foxes were perilously close to relegation under Nigel Pearson last season, but one year on, Claudio Ranieri has led them to the verge of what would be a remarkable title win. Last season’s charge to […]

Leicester City knew the situation before Southampton’s visit to the King Power Stadium: win, and they’d move seven points clear with six Premier League games remaining. Spurs’ draw at Liverpool gave the Foxes a chance to extend their lead, and spirits were high before the game. The title race wasn’t the only thing up in […]

Manchester United have named an unchanged XI from their derby victory as they welcome Everton to Old Trafford. That means Memphis and Ander Herrera remain on the Red Devils’ bench, as does former Everton man Marouane Fellaini. Everton, meanwhile, make two changes from the team that lost to Arsenal last time out. John Stones and […]
