Market: Sevilla win

Odds: 4/6 @

In desperate need on a much-needed boost on Sunday evening, Sevilla will welcome Las Palmas to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

Starting with the hosts, while Sevilla might have eventually breezed their way to La Liga safety last season, it is no secret that Jose Luis Mendilibar’s men are in the midst of another public crisis. Dealing with some major issues behind the scenes, Los Nervionenses know that they have a huge amount of pressure on their shoulders. Last seen putting in another nightmare performance as they were hit with a shock 2-1 loss at home against Girona on August 28th, the former Alaves boss will have a mounting headache over his side’s glaring defensive struggles. Opening the 2023/24 campaign with another 2-1 defeat …

Jose Mourinho revealed he would welcome Italy striker Andrea Belotti to Roma with open arms, as he outlined his desire to keep Nicolo Zaniolo at the Stadio Olimpico.

Belotti, a free agent since leaving Torino when his contract expired at the end of June, has been strongly linked with a move to Roma after scoring eight Serie A goals last season.

The 2021-22 campaign was the first in which Belotti had failed to hit double figures in the Italian top-flight since 2014-15, and reports have suggested he could arrive to provide competition for Giallorossi forwards Tammy Abraham and Paulo Dybala.

Asked ahead of Monday s game against Cremonese whether Roma would be signing another attacker, Mourinho said: I do not answer, because the director Tiago Pinto already knows.

Sampdoria have been relegated from Serie A for the first time in over a decade following a 2-0 defeat at Udinese.

First-half goals from Roberto Pereyra and Adam Masina proved enough to confirm the visitors’ fate with four games of the season still to go.

Relegation may prove to be the least of their worries as the club continues to battle a financial crisis which has led to fears of bankruptcy.

Comeback complete!

Second-half goals from McGregor, O Riley Forrest give us all three points in Perth | |

The Celtic boss claimed he had never been angrier as a manager after watching his side’s “soft” first-half display against St Johnstone. The champions conceded another goal from a corner to trail at half-time before strikes from Callum McGregor, Matt O’Riley and James Forrest earned a 3-1 win. But Rodgers said: “I’m still angry…

After a few dark years – by their standards – Manchester United appear to be re-entering the light, with last weekend s EFL Cup triumph their first trophy win since 2017.

It may not be the most desired silverware in England, but when a club so accustomed to winning begins to see dust gathering in the trophy cabinet, any tangible representation of success isn t to be sniffed at.

But Erik ten Hag said it best on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday s FA Cup defeat of West Ham: Get back to work.

Given United s significant improvement under the Dutchman, there s every reason to believe the EFL Cup won t be their only trophy of the season – they re arguably still alive in the Premier League title race, a Europa League last-16 tie with Real Betis awaits, and they will be …

Rangers manager Philippe Clement has backed Jack Butland to continue showing his international class in the domestic run-in after the goalkeeper suffered a double blow on Thursday.

Butland was left out of Gareth Southgate’s latest England squad before Rangers crashed out of the Europa League with a 1-0 home defeat by Benfica.

Some reports had claimed the 31-year-old was on the verge of an England call-up for the first time since 2018 as his impressive Ibrox form coincided with an injury to Newcastle’s Nick Pope and Aaron Ramsdale’s lack of game time for Arsenal.

However, Southgate named Ramsdale and Crystal Palace keeper Sam Johnstone alongside number one Jordan Pickford for his team’s upcoming friendlies against Brazil and Belgium.

Rangers ended Old Firm rivals Celtic s Scottish Cup dominance and took a big stride towards completing the double with a 2-0 victory at Ibrox.

Steven Davis opened the scoring with an acrobatic strike and a first-half Jonjoe Kenny own goal put the Premiership champions well on course for the last eight.

There was no way back for the Hoops, who had lifted the trophy in the previous four seasons, and Allan McGregor saved Odsonne Edouard s penalty as they suffered a first defeat under caretaker boss John Kennedy.

Victory for Rangers ensured they have won three and drawn one of their four clashes against their fierce city rivals in what has been an outstanding season.

Davis gave Rangers the lead in style in the 10th minute, volleying in from close range when J…

Champions League qualification is all that is left to be settled in the Premier League, and there was another huge twist on Sunday.

With Liverpool heading for what could have been a costly draw at relegated West Brom, an unlikely hero cropped up in the form of goalkeeper Alisson.

Before Alisson s heroics at the Hawthorns, Crystal Palace overcame Aston Villa, Tottenham kept on their push for a European finish by beating Wolves, while Everton s dismal home form continued with what Carlo Ancelotti labelled an embarrassing defeat to lowly Sheffield United in the late game.

Using Opta data, we take a look at the best facts from across Sunday s games.

Olivier Giroud and Andre-Pierre Gignac were on target but it was Anthony Martial who stole the show as France beat Germany 2-0 on Friday.

The Euro 2016 hosts welcomed Germany to Paris having won their last four games on the spin and extended the run to five thanks to Giroud and Gignac, although the match was heavily overshadowed by reports of shootings and bomb blasts elsewhere in the French capital.

The security threat prompted French president Francois Hollande to leave the stadium midway through the game.

Martial beat three defenders on a slaloming run down the left byline before teeing up Giroud for the opener in first-half injury time and Gignac  who came on for Giroud in the second half headed home a second four minutes from the end as Didier Descham…
