The Blues’ disappointing run has seen them drop points against many of the Premier League’s lower sides. This has included a draw against Brighton as well as high-profile loses to Southampton, Bournemouth and West Ham. Chelsea remain in the top 4, but this has largely been due to other teams struggling to take advantage of Chelsea’s poor run. Nonetheless, the weaknesses in Chelsea’s squad are clear to see and will surely need addressing if they are to secure a top 4 spot....

Travis Head, Aaron Finch, and Marnus Labuschagne in the batting department have received first-time call-ups to the squad. In the bowling department, Michael Neser and Brendan Doggett make it to the squad. As the practice match against Pakistan A was accorded official List A status, Australia named their playing XI for the match. Skipper Tim Paine suggested that the selected XI nearly resembles the XI expected to line up, come the first Test....

Juventus has a business model in which they mainly deal in free transfers or really cheap transfers. For example - the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Paul Pogba and now Emre Can were brought into the club for next to no money spent. When Juventus do spend big like they did for Gonzalo Higuaín, it was funded by Paul Pogba’s world record move to Manchester United. So there is a real opportunity for Manchester United to swoop in and pick up one or two of their superstars....

The 34-year-old is one of the greatest players in history and arguably the greatest goalscorer of all time, and Juventus have already started reaping dividends off the huge outlay to sign him, with his hattrick playing a crucial role in eliminating Atletico Madrid and continuing their quest for a first continental crown since 1997. There were plenty who doubted Ronaldo’s ability to perform, given that he turned 34 last February as there are not many 34-year-old’s throughout history who have performed at an optimum this late in their career....

The Shield will likely reunite once again, as the trio will presumably team up with Braun Strowman to face the evil group of Corbin, McIntyre, Lashley, and Elias. A standard tag team match which shows just how dire Raw’s mid-card scene is, but once which is spiced up by Roman’s return. After Fastlane comes WrestleMania, a show that Reigns has main evented four times in a row. Surely this time though, it must be the women of Raw who will close the Show of Shows....

Sources suggest that the La Liga Champions ‘Barcelona’ first began efforts to lure the Brazilian Winger to the Nou Camp over three months ago. Willian, who was voted the Chelsea players" player of the season last term, was left out of the starting line-up in the FA Cup final win over Manchester United. He scored Chelsea’s only goal in their Champions League last-16 tie against Barcelona last season. Willian has scored 44 goals in 236 appearances for Chelsea since joining the club from Russian side Anzhi in 2013....

This is the tenth time that WWE will hold this event. This year the show returns to a dual branded event between Smackdown and Raw after being organized as a single brand event in 2016 and 2017. With 12 days left to the much anticipated event, we take a look at the match card and provide predictions. #3 Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman This is a match for the Universal Championship....

But Virat Kohli is arguably better than all of them. Kohli is cricket’s latest superstar. He pulverizes bowling attacks, scores centuries at will and breaks records at lightning speed. Some of the numerous records to his name are: best ODI average ever (minimum 50 innings), second most centuries (41), fastest to 8000, 9000 and 10,000 runs, and the most 50-plus scores in T20I cricket (21). And he does it all with an assurance that borders on the unreal....

Amid all the draft speculation and Seth Rollins’ hunt for Bray Wyatt’s Firefly Fun House, some may have missed the match between Aleister Black and Eric Young. We all follow WWE’s top Superstars, their journey between the ropes and beyond, however, we too often forget the unparalleled opportunities that a mid-card match can offer. Sleeping on either Black or Young would be a terrible mistake, as these two have an abundance of talent and potential....

Kai and Sky have been undefeated since returning to the company and had built up a considerable wave of momentum before the upset. The finish to the match was controversial, with Aliyah pinning Kai, who was not a legal woman. It is unclear where this storyline goes next, but we have a few theories as to why WWE pulled off this shocking result. Here are three possible reasons why Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah won the women’s tag titles....

The London derby – unlike recent times – was no cagey affair, though. Both teams created opportunities and the scoreboard had the potential to read 8-all at one point. Maurizio Sarri’s men opened the account with a lovely goal from Pedro in the ninth minute. It was soon followed by Alvaro Morata’s deceptively slick cut inside to outfox Mustafi and Cech, doubling the hosts’ lead with just over 20 minutes on the clock....

Edge made his in-ring return for the first time in nine years, Drew McIntyre finally fulfilled his destiny after a decade. The Undertaker possibly wrestled his last match against AJ Styles in an epic Boneyard Match and we witnessed what was promoted by WWE as the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever at WWE Backlash. Just like every calendar month, the company will host a pay-per-view event in July. The event branded Extreme Rules: The Horror Show, is set to occur in a few weeks, so we might witness a few characters or gimmick changes leading up to the show, during the show or in the aftermath....

A Quinnipiac University poll conducted from October 15 through 18 found 78 percent of Republicans surveyed said they want Trump to run for office during the next presidential election cycle, while 16 percent said they do not. In contrast, 94 percent of Democrats and 58 percent of Independents said they do not want the former president to run in 2024, with more than half of all respondents rejecting the idea of his hypothetical campaign to return to the White House....

Sachin scored his first century in the ODI format five years after he made his ODI debut. He took a long time to get going in the Test format as well. Though his talent was evident right from his first International series, he took some time to prove his worth to the World and ever since his first century he has gone on to score a century of centuries in International cricket....

Having said that, collectively this series might not be that important for team India but individually this series assumes a lot of importance for some players. Individually these players are either looking to redeem themselves after a tough English series or they are looking to begin their Test career on a bright note. Also, the West Indian series will be an audition for them in their quest to find a place on the Australia bound squad....

Very rarely has it happened in International Tests that the team lagging behind after the first innings has gone on to win the match. But whenever it has happened it has just glorified the beauty Test cricket possess. In the long history of Test cricket, there have been just three instances of a team winning after following on. Coincidentally in all those three matches, Australia was on the losing side....

Considering WWE and how they performed in 2018, the future must be different. With the success of the All In PPV, Cody and The Young Bucks could be troublesome for WWE. However, this depends on their roster. Presently, it is minimal. Who will sign with AEW? In 2019 a new era is supposed to begin. How will WWE hit back at their potential rival? Let’s explore some options. #3 Merge feuds between NXT, Raw, and SmackDown Last year the NXT brand afforded excellent content....

Julen Lopetegui was entrusted with the job but lacklustre performances and tough luck cost him his job. The final nail in the coffin was a humiliating defeat against FC Barcelona. Santiago Solari was appointed to get Real Madrid out of this mess. Initial results were promising as Madrid brought home the FIFA Club World Cup but yet again the results have dwindled. Real Madrid currently sit fifth in La Liga and the notoriously hard to please Florentino Perez is reportedly growing tired of the mediocrity....

With the end of the season fast approaching, plans for the transfer market are already being laid out. Some of Manchester United’s exciting youngsters were loaned out in order to get more action than they would have if they had stayed at Old Trafford and they’ll soon return to claim a spot in the squad. On that note, let’s take a look at 3 Manchester United loanees who have proved themselves over the course of the season....

The WWE’s Hell In A Cell pay-per-view is set to transpire at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas on September 16th, and is likely to feature many an intriguing match. The WWE deserves a ton of credit for putting worth a swashbuckling event–delivering oodles of entertainment with this past Sunday night’s SummerSlam event. Perhaps one of the biggest talking points of WWE SummerSlam, is the fact that while certain feuds were likely concluded, the vast majority of rivalries may continue in the days to come....
