New England Revolution
Starting with the hosts, marking their return from the international break with an eye-catching display on the road, New England will be looking to keep up that momentum here. Eventually picking up a 2-1 victory away at Sporting KC, Head Coach Bruce Arena is now desperate for his side to find a route back into the Final Series places. Shocking many across the MLS last season as they stormed their way to the Eastern Conference title, the Revs have struggled with their consistency this time around. However, despite crashing out of the US Open Cup falli…
Serge Gnabry will play no part in Germany s Euro 2020 qualifier against Estonia on Sunday due to a muscular problem.
Gnabry has been in fine form of late, scoring eight goals in his past 10 matches across all competitions for club and country, while he is also Germany s most prolific player in Euro 2020 qualifying with five strikes.
But he will not add to that on in Tallinn on Sunday, with Germany set to face rock-bottom Estonia in their Group C clash.
Gnabry will not be risked as a precaution, the German Football Federation (DFB) confirmed on Twitter as Germany aim to remain level on points with Netherlands at the top.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta believes a revamped version of the European Super League could launch as soon as 2025, without any Premier League clubs taking part.
Barca, along with Real Madrid and Juventus, remained committed to the Super League project in the aftermath of a failed launch in April 2021, though the other nine founding clubs quickly withdrew their support.
In October, it was revealed that plans were afoot to revive the competition, with A22 Sports Management chief executive Bernd Reichart promising an open format as he sought support for the proposal.
UEFA called the Super League s supporters greedy after meeting with Reichart the following month, while European Union Court of Justice [CJUE] advocate general Athanasios Rantos dealt a blow to the…

Two sides who find themselves in the midst of their own extended ruts, LA Galaxy will welcome Atlanta to Dignity Health Sports Park in the early hours of Monday.
LA Galaxy
Starting with the hosts, putting in what was another hugely worrying display last weekend as they were hit with a 2-0 loss against Colorado on the road, LA Galaxy are enduring a real MLS nightmare. With their now growing pressure on Greg Vanney s shoulders, the American giants have found themselves come tumbling down the Western Conference standings. Now sat outside the Final Series spots, the California-based outfit have remarkably lost four of their five outings. Likewise, along with losing each of their last three MLS matchups by an aggregate score of 8-4, the Gal…
I think it s down to the fact that I ve enjoyed more game time. I ve played in practically every game and so I think it s all about consistency, Martial, who was in and out of the team under former boss Jose Mourinho, told Inside United magazine.
In previous seasons I haven t been able to feature as regularly; I d be on the bench quite a bit and other times I d be starting, which was quite difficult.
Whereas right now I know that the coach has faith in me and I’m confident of starting the next match. So, I m giving everything I can in order to pay back that trust he has shown.
[I m hungry for all goals] because for me, a goal is a goal. So simply by managing to score more of a simple kind of goal, I know that I ll score a lot more in total.
It s so…
Ange Postecoglou has promised Tottenham will give Richarlison whatever help he needs after the forward revealed on international he would seek “psychological help” upon his return to club football.
Richarlison has endured a difficult year since he completed a £60million transfer to Spurs in the summer of 2022, scoring only once in the Premier League last season and he described his debut campaign as s*** in March.
The Brazil forward has not found the net for his country since the World Cup and was emotional following another blank on international duty during this past week with Richarlison speaking candidly in an interview with O Globo about a “turbulent time” for him off the pitch.

Lionel Scaloni is excited and grateful at the prospect of continuing as Argentina coach through to the 2026 World Cup.
Chiqui Tapia, president of the Argentine Football Association, stated an agreement had been reached between both parties for Scaloni to remain in his post for the next four years.
A new deal would be a fine reward for Scaloni, who replaced Jorge Sampaoli after the 2018 World Cup, where Argentina were beaten by eventual champions France in the last 16.
Under Scaloni, Argentina won the Copa America last year to end a drought at major tournaments dating back to the 1993 Copa.
A routine 3-0 win over Jamaica on Tuesday, in which Lionel Messi scored twice off the bench, also saw Argentina stretch their unbeaten run to 35 matches.

Bournemouth were denied a dramatic winner against Newcastle United as Dango Ouattara s stoppage-time goal was overturned following a VAR review in Sunday s 1-1 draw.
The Cherries would have been deserving victors at the Vitality Stadium having controlled their first Premier League home game of the season both before and after Marcus Tavernier s first-half opener.
But Anthony Gordon equalised with 14 minutes to play, setting the stage for a chaotic finale in which both sides came close to claiming all three points.
It looked as though substitute Ouattara would have the decisive say, only for his effort to be ruled out for striking his arm.
Former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is still yet to beat his old side in the Premier League but would have been relieve…
Market: Wolves win
Odds: 21/20 @
Looking to extend on their recent Premier League flurry on Saturday afternoon, Wolves will travel to Bramall Lane when they meet Sheffield United.
Starting with the hosts, while Sheffield United might have breezed their way to a Premier League return last season, the Blades find themselves in the midst of a public top-flight nightmare. Sat rock-bottom of the table and with a huge amount of pressure on Paul Heckingbottom’s shoulders, they have collected just a single point from any of their first 10 Premier League appearances. Breaking a string of unwanted records by the week and already tipped as a leading relegation contender, Sheffield United have only continued to show a string of issues on either side of October’s interna…
