Fans around the world have witnessed stellar performances in the league this season with the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sergio Aguero and Eden Hazard running the show again, as they have been doing in recent years. However, these superstar players often overshadow the contributions of other team members whose understated qualities and contributions remain equally important. The media, critics, and football pundits have a habit of judging players on the basis of their goals and assists....

Over the years, we have seen some brilliant battles between these eternal rivals. And it is unlikely to be any different on Sunday, when the two heavyweights clash in the Premier League. Manchester United come into this match on the back of an away win against Chelsea in the FA Cup. Meanwhile, Liverpool drew their first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 tie against Bayern Munich. Clearly, Manchester United are riding a huge wave of momentum at the moment, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be very confident of getting a positive result against their bitter rivals....

Thus it was, with Wenger saying the same things, doing the same things, somehow expecting a better result. At least, Arsenal arranged a dignified parting for a man who we will look back upon with much more love and respect than he is garnering at the moment. On a side note, it was especially gratifying for me to have Bob Wilson lead the final tribute to Wenger. As a thirteen-year-old goalkeeper, I happened to pick up Wilson’s book on goalkeeping....

The respective position of both clubs, on and off the pitch, differs. City and Arsenal recently posted within the highest-earning clubs in the world, per the Deloitte Money League. Whilst Arsenal’s revenues declined somewhat compared to previous years, City’s income was boosted by its record-winning Premier League title triumph. Arsenal recorded a 2-1 win over Cardiff City, with the latter side suffering under the Emiliano Sala tragedy. The Gunners before the weekend were in the top four, because of Chelsea’s 4-0 loss to Bournemouth....

Sure, the ‘Big Six’ are head and shoulders above the rest of the league in terms of overall strength, but the Premier League’s other 14 sides still have some fantastic players, some of whom would probably make it into the first XI of the top six, and some of whom have had a tremendous time this season. Here is the Premier League’s non-top six XI of the year for 2018/19....

Jamie Vardy hunted down Arsenal again and James Maddison got the second goal to dispatch the Gunners back to London. Emery’s men, led by Aubameyang and Lacazette, did come close to scoring a few times, but Kasper Schmeichel was relaxed for the majority of the game. Arsenal set up differently for last night’s game, as the Spaniard switched to a back three, in order to keep Vardy, Maddison and Tielemans under control, as they have often ripped apart teams through the centre....

Reddit user u/WengersJacket Zip asked Leno about what it was like to play against Aubameyang in Germany and to be his teammate now in the EPL. Leno responded positively, saying, ‘Best striker in the Premier League’ The Arsenal keeper also weighed in on where he thinks his teammate stands among the many talented strikers in the Premier League.

Like they promised earlier, the EA SPORTS FIFA franchise have been releasing the ratings of the top 50 players on a daily basis.

Well, maybe not in a serious note, but these players don’t really sound very happy about their ratings....

The two clubs are in advanced negotiations and although there’s no agreement in place currently, Spurs remain hopeful of completing a deal before the deadline. In case you didn’t know… Manchester United courted Dybala for a brief period when the two clubs discussed a potential swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku, but the deal fell through owing to complications about the Argentinian’s image rights. The club was also unsure over the 25-year-old’s unwillingness to commit to their project, as a result of which they were forced to walk away from the deal....

Carl Gillette taught at Knoxville’s Little Oaks Academy, where a new teacher was assigned to shadow him last Thursday as part of her training. He said the shadowing went well until she started to talk to him about race, saying she does not like Black people, which took him “for a surprise,” WBIR-TV, a local television news station reported. “I was like, ‘Wait you know I’m Black, right? You are talking to an African American man who you’re addressing this to and you’re stating this to me that you don’t like Blacks,’” he told WBIR....

Biden signed two bills on Friday seeking to further isolate Russia economically as the U.S. maintains pressure on Moscow to end its invasion of Ukraine. The legislation, which passed overwhelmingly in both houses of Congress, will work to strike an economic artery of energy-rich Russia while relegating the country to the same trade status as Myanmar, Cuba and North Korea. While Biden had earlier signed an executive order banning imports of Russian oil and gas, House Resolution 6968 codifies the ban into law....

Kennedy, is given to people who have “made exceptional contributions to the security or national interests of America, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors,” according to the White House....

“I can relate to this program,” Obama said. “Does well in the classroom, won twice in the past four years, know that it’s like for people to oppose you, no matter what you try to do. And when I flip on ESPN and see how people STILL hate Christian Laettner, a guy who played for Duke 23 years ago, I realize that maybe I don’t have it so bad. Or, I think, ‘This is going to be a long 23 years....
