I have heard Arsenal are interested in me, . I like Arsenal and I like the Premier League.
I don t know what is happening with the clubs, but yes, I would be interested in the Premier League and Arsenal.

Sunderland Manager Steve Bruce will expect his charges to maintain their great home form whilst Brian Laws will expect his Burnley team to fight for their lives with relegation beginning to look like a likelihood.
Sunderland had such a slump in the mid part of the season it is hard to believe that they have picked up enough points this season to be effectively safe with a handful of games to go, but such is their home form, with only two home defeats all season, that they deserve their retained status for this factor alone. Much has been down to the goalscoring exploits of Darren Bent, who is still pushing for an England place with 22 goals this season in the Premierleague. Sunderland have a fairly strong squad to pick from but injury doubts remain over the excellent but injury…
Marco Verratti has come to the defence of his Paris Saint-Germain and Italy team-mate Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The goalkeeper came in for criticism following PSG s recent Champions League elimination at the hands of Real Madrid, in particular for his error that led to Karim Benzema scoring the Spanish side s first goal at the Santiago Bernabeu in an eventual 3-2 aggregate loss for the Parisians.
Donnarumma has conceded six goals in his last two club appearances, but ahead of Italy s World Cup qualifying play-off against North Macedonia, Verratti wants Azzurri fans to remember his performances during the run to winning Euro 2020.
We need to be confident. Thursday will be an important match against a team that deserves to be here, Verratti told a news conference.<…
Manchester City will face Wigan Athletic in a re-run of the 2013 FA Cup final as the Premier League heavyweights avoided one another in the fifth-round draw.
Ben Watson s late header gave Wigan a shock 1-0 win at Wembley on that occasion, a result that preceded Roberto Mancini s dismissal as City manager.
The Latics, now in League One, claimed a top-flight scalp at the weekend as Will Grigg s brace saw off West Ham 2-0, while Pep Guardiola s men maintained their pursuit of honours on four fronts with a 2-0 victory at Cardiff City.
City were chasing a domestic treble in 2013-14 before Wigan beat them 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium in round six of that season s FA Cup.
Manchester United will travel to either Huddersfield Town or Birmingham City after Alexis…
The Detroit Lions are 0-7 in the standings but far from winless in the hearts of NFL bettors, with a 4-3 mark against the spread heading into Week 8’s home date with the floundering Philadelphia Eagles.
The Lions are coming off an emotional loss to the Los Angeles Rams and former franchise QB Matt Stafford last Sunday, but there’s no quit in Dan Campbell’s team. Despite that ATS record and Philadelphia’s 2-5 mark, Detroit is an NFL betting underdog at home this Sunday, getting 3.5 points from the Eagles.
Here are our NFL free picks and predictions for Eagles at Lions on October 31.

It’s time! Week 1 is here and so are my NFL power rankings. These can be helpful tools for bettors when pricing matchups while also keeping everything in check from week to week and avoiding recency bias.
In games on a neutral field, every higher-ranked team would be favored or, at least, a pick ’em on the moneyline in this format. For two teams ranked closely together, the difference in the spread would be a home-field advantage (if any), which varies slightly from team to team.

The Baltimore Ravens and Washington Commanders will be the lone teams in action Monday night when they kick off their second preseason game of 2023 at FedEx Field in Summerfield, MD.
Baltimore will be looking to continue its record streak of 24 consecutive preseason wins, and while Washington has just named its starting quarterback for Week 1 of the NFL season, it still be motivated to end the streak.
I’ve analyzed the NFL odds to give my best NFL picks and predictions for the Ravens vs. Commanders below.

Coming into this season, most pegged the Buffalo Bills to contend for a Super Bowl, and while they may yet do so, the product through nine games has been inconsistent at best. Now they return home to face a Denver Broncos side that many expected to take a step forward under Sean Payton, but that’s also failed to materialize. The NFL odds have the Bills laying seven points as home favorites with the total sitting at 47.
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream Broncos/Bills directly from legal sports betting sites?

Super Bowl 58 between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers is shaping up to be the most-viewed NFL championship game of all-time. NFL odds for the official viewership set by one sportsbook is 117.5 million viewers with the Over heavily juiced. That same book sets the female viewership share at 46.5% thanks to the expected appearance of Taylor Swift.
The game attracts many causal observers who, quite frankly, do not come to talk about the Chiefs’ pursuit of a dynasty or what their Super Bowl odds are. They don’t care about the schematic edge inherent to Christian McCaffrey’s mere presence. If you find yourself watching the game with some of these “fans” you can debate when to kick a field goal or when to go for…
