Aston Villa visit Liverpool in the Premier League this evening with Unai Emery’s faltering side looking to half Arne Slot’s league leaders. Auguries might not that be promising for Villa, on the back of a deflating defeat to Club Brugge while Liverpool hammered Bayer Leverkusen. The Reds have won 14 of their 16 games in all competitions so far this season and represent an imposing challenge. However, an away win could lift Villa to third, putting them closer to Liverpool in what would be just the latest match in one of English football’s longest running rivalries, dating all the way…
HOUSTON — Star wide receiver Nico Collins is inching closer to his return for the Houston Texans. On Friday, Houston designated Collins to return to practice after he spent the past four weeks on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. The Texans (6-3) listed Collins as questionable on their injury report ahead of their “Sunday Night Football” showdown against the Detroit Lions (7-1). Before suffering his injury, Collins was leading the NFL in receiving yards (567). He has been out since Week 5 after pulling his hamstring on a 67-yard touchdown reception during a 23-20 victory over the Buffalo Bills.…
The return of Nico Collins couldn’t come at a better time for the Houston Texans. The team is coming off a tough loss to the New York Jets and preparing to play perhaps their toughest opponent of the season, the Detroit Lions. The Texans no longer have Stefon Diggs to rely on either, which makes them much less potent on offense. While he is needed most right now, it’s more than likely that Nico Collins will not play in this game. Nico Collins’ Status As Of Week 10 Despite the appearance that he won’t play, there are actually some good…
Liverpool will face a tricky test at Anfield this afternoon in their final Premier League game before the international break. The Reds will entertain Aston Villa, who will be desperate to bounce back from last weekend’s heavy defeat at Tottenham. A win for Liverpool would see them retain their advantage at the top of the table, regardless of how Manchester City get on against Brighton. Staying at the summit would be a huge boost for the Merseyside giants heading into next week’s international break. Villa, meanwhile, are on a four-game winless run in all competitions but are still capable of…
Billie Jean King Cup Director Conchita Martinez ‘can’t wait to see’ Emma Raducanu back in action. The 2021 US Open champion had a tough Asian Swing after injuring herself at the Korea Open, which forced her to withdraw from her quarterfinal match against Daria Kasatkina (1-6, ret.). After undergoing surgeries on both wrists in 2023, Raducanu has had a successful comeback season, climbing into the top 60 despite being outside the top 300 just a few months ago. However, 2024 has not been without some minor injuries, as well as a limited schedule for the British star, who also had…
After her 2024 season was hindered by various injuries, British tennis star Emma Raducanu is looking to avoid a repeat performance next year as it has been revealed she is in talks with Yutaka Nakamura, former fitness trainer of five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova.

Paul Merson believes Liverpool “are not playing well enough” to beat Aston Villa on Saturday and that the Reds are only showing up “in patches”.

Liverpool are also in the quarter-final of the League Cup and have the best defensive record in the Premier League with just six goals conceded. Villa, meanwhile, come into Saturday’s contest on a three-game losing streak and have yet to record a…
Jannik Sinner was hit with a doping scandal during his victorious US Open 2024 title run, where he defeated Taylor Fritz in the final. The US Open began with the doping controversy where it was revealed that Sinner had tested positive twice for an anabolic agent in March, but avoided a ban. An independent tribunal accepted his defence that the test results were affected by unintentional contamination. But then in the last week of September, WADA appealed to the Court of Arbitration of Sport to start a new investigation. In a statement, WADA said that they are “seeking a period…

In the wake of Dak Prescott’s injury, Skip Bayless has stirred up conversation by suggesting that Cooper Rush might be Jerry Jones’ worst nightmare for the Dallas Cowboys. As Rush steps in as the starting quarterback, the dynamics within the team and Jones’ decisions could face intense scrutiny. With Prescott sidelined due to a partial hamstring avulsion, the Cowboys are turning to backup quarterback Rush to lead their playoff aspirations. His injury marks another setback for a player who previously missed time in 2022 with a broken thumb. The Cowboys currently sit at a challenging 3-5 record, making Rush’s performance…
