Pep Guardiola fooled us all . In his pre-match conference ahead of Manchester City’s Premier League Game against Sheffield United on Saturday, the former Barcelona head coach claimed “nothing had changed from the last Game ”, the victory over Everton, and the current Champions League holders had “the same injuries, plus John Stones.” The England defender would therefore join Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Jérémy Doku on the sidelines. De Bruyne named as a substitute against The Blades Or so we were led to believe. When the City line-up to face The Blades was revealed an hour before kick-off, most eyes were drawn to the list of substitutes, where De Bruyne’s name stood out like a sore thumb. Although Guardiola had revealed the Belgian was back in training and closing in on his return to action, nobody expected it to come in 2023. TEAM NEWS! 👊 XI | Ederson, Walker (C), Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol, Rodrigo, Kovacic, Bernardo, Foden, Grealish, Alvarez SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Dias, Philli...

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expects Gabriel Martinelli to play a part in Sunday's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion. The Gunners are hoping to return to the top of the table with a win at the Emirates Stadium, though they may be knocked off their perch if Liverpool beat Manchester United at Anfield in the weekend's late Game . Martinelli played 69 minutes of Arsenal's recent 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa but did not feature in midweek as a rotated side drew with PSV Eindhoven in the final Game of the Champions League group stages. 22-year-old Martinelli had been feeling unwell, but speaking in his pre-match press conference, Arteta looked to confidently reassure Arsenal supporters over his availability to face Brighton. "He's feeling good. He'll be in contention," Arteta remarked when asked how the Brazilian was doing. Arteta also spoke for the first time after being cleared of misconduct by an independent committee over comments made ab...

The never-ending story... The “homophobic cry” return ed to the Azteca Stadium just when the the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) considered the battle won. In the 37th minute of the second leg of the quarterfinals between Mexico and Honduras , playing for the Concacaf Nations League , the Mexican fans reproached the Catracha goalkeeper, Edrick Menjivar. As soon as the Olimpia goalkeeper put the ball into play with his foot, several of the 70,000 fans sang in chorus, “ehh, p***” - a slur that roughly translates to “gay prostitute”. Prior to the incident, Menjivar collapsed on the grass a couple of times, angering the fans. The screams resounded with fury despite the attempts of the stadium’s public address system to hide it behind drums and cymbals playing at full blast. Two minutes later, Menjivar once again received contempt, but with less vigor. The text on the Azteca screens encouraged Tri fans, instead, to sing “Olé, Olé, jump for the Tricolor”, without much success. 🚨 ¡...

Having secured three wins from four, the form table would suggest Manchester United are one of the hottest teams in the Premier League. The reality couldn't be further from the on-paper optimism. While United have enjoyed a productive domestic run to climb up the table, the manner of the triumphs has desperately lacked any conviction. Erik ten Hag's side were also dumped out of the Carabao Cup and beaten in Copenhagen to leave them on the brink of Champions League elimination. Plenty remains for Ten Hag to ponder, and he'll have to navigate a tricky upcoming schedule without a whole host of injured stars. Here's how busy United's treatment room will be after the November international break.

The good news just keeps rolling in for the red-hot Golden State Warriors, who are currently on a season-long five-game winning streak. During an interview with local Bay Area radio station, 95.7 The Game, Warriors GM Bob Myers said Curry's rehab has been going well and the team is targeting their Jan. 13 matchup with the San Antonio Spurs for his return from a shoulder injury. Curry has not played since Dec. 14 when he suffered a subluxated shoulder against the Indiana Pacers. The injury did not require surgery and was expected to keep him out for about a month. Ahead of his scheduled re-evaluation this weekend, Curry seems to be right on track.  "He's gonna get evaluated this weekend, and he's working out on the court," Myers said. "The two-week mark to evaluate him would be this weekend, but there's been no setbacks or anything like that. The first road Game is Friday on San Anto...
