While the title discussion has largely centred around champions Manchester City and their prime challengers Liverpool, Leicester City have quietly gone about their business away frm the limelight and climbed up the table. They are now eight points behind the leaders Liverpool and given their current form and upcoming fixtures, look set to close the gap soon.

Football on TV: The full UK fixtures It is a must-win fixture for the Gunners, who have two games in hand on Liverpool and one on the rest of the top four as a result of their progress in the cup but have fallen behind in the race for a Champions League spot as a result. A win will see them make up ground on at least one of Liverpool or Manchester City, who face off in the biggest game of the weekend at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday....

In case you didn’t know… Arsenal have had a perfect start to the new Premier League campaign, having established victories over Newcastle United and Burnley. They are next scheduled for a trip to Anfield to take on Liverpool.

Major discussions took place recently, between some of Europe’s leading clubs over the possible format change of the Champions League which includes the introduction of a qualification co-efficient that favours European historical powers, set to be implemented when the current broadcast deal runs out in 2024. The possibility of “access lists”, which offer almost guaranteed qualification to established clubs, would have a major effect on the dynamic and even possibly the competitiveness of the Premier League, where the battle for a place in the top four is one of the defining competitive factors....

#5 What they said So, Liverpool Echo have quoted Napoli’s Piotr Zielinski saying that Liverpool desperately wanted him before he made a move to Napoli. Meanwhile, TalkSport have quoted Courtois as claiming that his quotes about Madrid have been misinterpreted. #4 Conte wants Florenzi and update on De Ligt The future of Antonio Conte as the boss of Chelsea might be uncertain at this point of time. That, however, hasn’t stopped him from being interested in Alessandro Florenzi, as per Tuttosport....

Republicans predictably took umbrage, and have been panning the speech ever since as divisive, claiming the President has smeared half the nation as extremists. But the President was very clear during the speech and since that not every Republican is a MAGA Republican—indeed, not even every person who voted for former President Donald Trump qualifies as a MAGA Republican. The President was specifically speaking of those who would subvert our democracy, who believe the election was stolen and were prepared to do something about it....

Some moderate Democrats have expressed substantial concerns about the massive spending package. The budget plan has now passed through both chambers of Congress, although an uphill battle remains to determine the details and whether Democrats ultimately succeed in full passage. The proposed legislation would deliver on significant portions of Biden’s agenda by funding universal pre-kindergarten, provide free community college, make child tax credits permanent, expand health care access, and work to address climate change....

The former Italy boss took over at Mestalla in September after the sacking of Pako Ayestaran, but has failed to improve the club’s results. Valencia – who will now be under the caretaker charge of Voro for the fourth time – are 17th in LaLiga and only outside of the relegation zone on goal difference. “Cesare Prandelli has communicated to Valencia CF his irrevocable decision to resign from his position as coach,” the club confirmed in a statement on Friday, adding that a media conference will be held on Saturday....

There’s always intrigue in the buildup to the Preakness because hope for the first Triple Crown since 1978 is alive, resting this year on American Pharoah.

Just mentioning the title brings action nostalgia to the brain with amazing titles like Die Hard and First Blood. Predator elicits an expectation and sense of over-the-top action, and it delivers in a way only the 80s could. With Predator, Arnold Schwarzenegger was at the height of his abilities, bringing jacked-up montages, adrenaline-fueled explosions, and some great lines. Along with the help of more 80s action icons like Bill Duke, Jesse Ventura, Carl Weathers, and last but not least, Kevin Peter Hall as the Predator himself, the movie stands the test of time as 80s action at its best....

Money in the Bank will also play a big part in the top championships as WWE has traditionally had one winner cash in rather quickly while saving the other cash-in for the second half of the year. Another thing to consider is that because ‘Mania took place in New York/New Jersey, a few champions from that area were crowned. Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins were victorious against the Revival and Tony Nese, a New Yorker, ended Buddy Murphy’s impressive reign as Cruiserweight Champ and Carmella, ’the Princess of Staten Island’, won the Women’s WrestleMania Battle Royal....

A small number of studies have documented increases in hyperresponsiveness and mast cell activation during the menstrual period....

They are now 2 points behind Chelsea and recorded a 3 consecutive defeat at the Premier League.

In this piece, we will take a look at the players who disappointed during Arsenal’s embarrassing loss to Leicester....

Much has been made of Pogba’s significance to off-field metrics such as shirt sale revenue and social media reach. But on the pitch, can Manchester United afford to sell Paul Pogba? For most of his time in Manchester Pogba has been under intense scrutiny from pundits and fans alike, owing to his then-record transfer fee, outrageous hairstyles, and his love of social media. While Pogba was a standout at the 2018 World Cup, inspiring and motivating his teammates to glory in Russia, his return to club football didn’t hit the same heights....

With the Premier League having an early start this time, the chance to go top of the table will be an added boost to Liverpool’s much coveted title contention. Recently-promoted Norwich City would like to send a strong message with an impressive performance too. On Friday, Champions League winners Liverpool will welcome Championship title-holder Norwich City at Anfield. Here, we take a look at the five talking points of this match....

The build-up to this game was all about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer taking on Frank Lampard as both of them are quite young and inexperienced as far as managerial experience is concerned and it is fair to say that the United boss trumped his Chelsea counterpart convincingly. The match itself was very entertaining and quite competitive even though the scoreline doesn’t suggest that. Chelsea just wasn’t clinical in front of goal, while the home side was exactly the opposite....

Real Madrid currently sit 7 points behind FC Barcelona, and it seems unlikely that they would be putting up a serious fight for the LaLiga title this season. It is expected that Real Madrid would enter the summer transfer window all guns blazing, and will be in pursuit of big names. After losing Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus, Real Madrid failed to replace him with someone who could lead their front line....

Manchester United took the lead thanks to a third-minute penalty from World Cup winner, Paul Pogba, and then extended it in the 83rd minute through Luke Shaw.

Despite the rumours of a fallout, Jose Mourinho named Pogba as his captain for the first game of the season. World Cup semi-finalist Romelu Lukaku started on the bench for United....
