02-05-2010 Liverpool Vs Chelsea

This clash is really Liverpool s last chance to stake a claim for Champions league football this year, but they will have their work cut out against a Chelsea side who really need to win this match to maintain their push for the premier league title.

Liverpool s chances in this match will also be hampered by the fact that they will have played three days earlier in the second leg of their Europa League semi final second leg match against Athletico Madrid. Benitez also has real selection problems up front with Torres ruled out, and Ngog and Kuyt both doubtful for the games ahead. One piece of fortune for the Anfield outfit is the return to form of Steven Gerrard. After riding serious allegations about his personal life in recent weeks, Gerrard has come out the other side firing …

Talking Point: Will 2019-20 prove a springboard season for English strikers?

Harry Kane may have suffered an untimely injury, but England boss Gareth Southgate could well be blessed with a wealth of attacking options heading into Euro 2020.

Kane s hamstring injury should not see him miss the European Championship, but it has handed plenty of England hopefuls the chance to prove their worth.

And it seems as though this season, the Premier League belongs to homegrown forwards.

Jamie Vardy – who has retired from international duty – leads the way with 17 goals, ahead of three players sharing second place in the scoring charts with 14: Danny Ings, Marcus Rashford and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Arsenal striker Aubameyang is one of only four non-English players to take their place in the Premier League s list of leading scorers as t…

On this day in 2013: Wigan celebrate FA Cup win with shock victory over Man City

Wigan produced one of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history when they beat Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley, on this day in 2013.

Ben Watson’s late header clinched a fairytale win for the Latics, who won their first major trophy just 35 years after becoming a Football League club.

Roberto Mancini’s big-spending City, who won the FA Cup in 2011, were overwhelming favourites having been crowned Premier League champions in 2012.

The Latics were in the Premier League’s bottom three and were given little chance after beating Bournemouth, Macclesfield, Huddersfield, Everton and Millwall to earn their chance of glory.

But manager Roberto Martinez said: “We all know Manchester City are the major favourites, and rightly so. But there are many examples of majo…

The Baker Mayfield Redemption Tour continues tonight when the Buccaneers battle the Falcons in Atlanta.

After playing on three teams from 2021 to 2022, Mayfield found a home in Tampa Bay last season, throwing for 4,044 yards and propelling the franchise to first place in the NFC South. He’s off to another fast start this year, with eight TDs and the fourth best passer rating in the league.

The New York Mets can, and should fall back on their billionaire owner

Welp, so much for that idea. Yoshinobu Yamamoto is a Los Angeles Dodger, and the New York Mets are still the Mets. After putting on a full-court press for the Japanese ace, giving it 115 percent, and leaving it all on the field, owner Steve Cohen’s efforts amounted to diddly squat. Now it’s back to the drawing board, or as Mets fans more commonly refer to it, a drab, depressing existence occasionally highlighted by spurts of misguided optimism. The club hasn’t done everything right since Cohen took over, but it was Cohen taking over that was supposed to fix everything the Wilpons could not. While the Mets might not have the basic knowledge yet, and who knows how long Cohen will listen to the logic of new front office man David Stearns, they possess an owner who’s committed and…
