Phil Foden cemented his place as a Manchester City great after his two goals helped the club to a record-breaking fourth successive Premier League title, according to former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand.

Pep Guardiola s side made history as they maintained their grip on the Premier League trophy following a 3-1 victory over West Ham at the Etihad Stadium on the final day of the season.

Foden recently named the division s Player of the Year played another starring role for the Citizens with a brace, including a 25-yard thunderbolt after just 78 seconds, while Rodri s second-half strike completed the victory.

Ferdinand, who won three consecutive Premier League titles with United between 2007 and 2009, believes the attacking midfielder has joined a panth…

Maxi Gomez insists there is a strong spirit within the Valencia squad despite a turbulent few weeks at Mestalla.

The positivity of last season, when Valencia secured a Champions League spot before beating Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, has mostly evaporated in the early weeks of 2019-20.

Head coach Marcelino was sacked last month and replaced by Albert Celades, who lost his first match in charge 5-2 away to Barca in LaLiga.

Marcelino suggested he lost his job partly because he won the Copa, a competition he claimed the club s hierarchy considered a distraction from fighting for a Champions League place.

Valencia started their European campaign with a 1-0 win at Chelsea but were dispatched 3-0 at home to Ajax this week on matchday two, meaning they h…

18 rounds down, 20 to go. Juventus, Roma, Napoli, Lazio, and AC Milan occupy the top five spot in the table. Meanwhile, Fiorentina and Inter continue to have their ups and downs whilst Crotone s debut season has been an exercise in frustration. The Serie A season has currently gone on hiatus for the Christmas break, but there are still plenty of talking points regarding the first half of the present campaign.

So what have we learned from part one of the current Serie A term? Let s have a look.

Both AC Milan and Inter still have a long way to go, but Milan appear to be on the right path

Manchester City got their Champions League campaign up and running with a 4-0 rout of Slovan Bratislava on Tuesday, with Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden, Erling Haaland and James McAtee scoring.

The Premier League champions set up camp in Slovan s half and laid siege to their goal for the duration of the contest at the Stadion Tehelne Pole.

They only needed eight minutes to make the breakthrough as Gundogan scored his first goal since returning to the club after a single season at Barcelona, with his shot deflecting in off Kyriakos Savvidis.

Foden then doubled City s lead with his first goal of the season in the 15th minute, latching onto a pass from Jeremy Doku and curling a strike into the bottom corner.

The longest season in English top-flight history came to its conclusion on Sunday, with both Manchester United and Chelsea confirming their places in next season’s Champions League, while Bournemouth and Watford joined Norwich in ending their stays at England’s top table. 

It was a season that nobody was even certain would finish a matter of months ago, an unprecedented campaign that will be remembered for right and wrong reasons. A season that saw a one-horse race to the title, two Englishmen leading the charge for the Golden Boot and three managers sacked at just one club. 

As some sides begin their break before the new season starts in September, others look to finish their campaigns in style, be it in the FA Cup Final on Saturday or in Eu…

The New Orleans Saints finally get to play at home after Hurricane Ida sent them packing to open the season. Sean Payton’s club will welcome a struggling and injured New York Giants team that has been held to 14 points or fewer twice to open the year. 

The Saints head into their Week 4 matchup as 8-point home favorites which is more indicative of the state of the Giants than it is of how well the New Orleans offense is playing. Despite the hefty chalk, this game has one of the lowest totals on the board at 43.

The curtain falls on the NFL Divisional Round this Sunday night with a showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers. 

The Cowboys are road underdogs, so they’ll need Dak Prescott to be at his best if they want to beat a Niners team that’s won 10 in a row. With that in mind, here are my favorite NFL player prop picks for Prescott.

Coming out of the bye and getting some key players healthy, the Seattle Seahawks head to Cincinnati this Sunday to prove that the Bengals are past their early-season struggles. The NFL odds favor the Bengals at -3 with the total in the potential windy and wet meeting sitting at 45.  

With Geno Smith looking better than the last time he played and Joe Burrow creating some recency bias vs. one of the worst defenses in football last week, should bettors be taking the points this Sunday, especially with the move from 2.5 to 3 in the Week 6 NFL odds?

Here are my free NFL picks for Seahawks vs. Bengals on Sunday, October 15.

The final game of the 2023-24 NFL regular season could also be the best as the 10-6 Buffalo Bills face off against the 11-5 Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium. Miami has already clinched a playoff berth – its second in two seasons – but Buffalo’s postseason hopes are still hanging by a thread. A Bills loss on Sunday combined with wins by the Pittsburgh Steelers and Jacksonville Jaguars and any result other than a tie between the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts would bring a swift end to Buffalo’s season.

While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game, you can also live stream Bills vs. Dolphins directly from legal sports betting sites.
