The round 12 I-League encounter on Sunday between the two teams is a potential six-pointer, considering the fact that only two points separate Chennai City FC and the sixth-placed DSK Shivajians. Chennai City FC have been very poor of late, falling to insipid defeats to Shillong Lajong and Aizawl FC. V Soundararajan has had trouble getting his attack clicking with different partners being preferred along with Charles de Souza. There is very little creativity in the midfield as well with Dhanapal Ganesh and Denson Devadas providing solidity rather than creativity....

The defending champions shocked the red and gold crowd with a surprising win. However, the Kolkata giant came back to winning ways in the penultimate match of the week against Gokulam. The match will definitely boost them ahead of the all-important Kolkata Derby....

Higuain, 32, has scored six goals in 26 Serie A appearances for Juve this term, most recently netting in a 4-0 win over Lecce in June. The former Real Madrid striker, who has also worked under Sarri at Napoli and Chelsea, came off the bench against Torino and Genoa, having last started a game in March prior to the coronavirus-enforced shutdown. Ahead of Tuesday’s clash with Milan, another of Higuain’s former clubs, Sarri has admitted he sometimes has to take an aggressive approach to get the best out of Higuain....

Angela, now 51, told Newsweek about the frightening moment she was told she might have ovarian cancer in December 2019. Initially, the surgical technologist from McGregor went to her family doctor as she felt exhausted, sick, and had lost weight.

However, there weren’t any celebrations as doctors looked at Angela’s medical history to find a battle with unexplained infertility....

United end 2019 in fifth place in the Premier League table, their 2-0 win at Burnley leaving them four points adrift of the top four. That relatively comfortable victory at Turf Moor concluded a turbulent decade for the Red Devils, in which they have appointed four permanent managers but failed to win the domestic title since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. Solskjaer’s side have been frustratingly inconsistent this season, but they have won six of their past eight games in all competitions and head into the new year with a chance of winning the EFL Cup, the FA Cup and the Europa League....

What I saw at Edgbaston was a joke. A total embarrassment from a team who should have designs on winning a World Cup in six months’ time....

Iannetta, a former Diamondbacks catcher, singled off the center-field wall against Yoshihisa Hirano (3-4) with one out to drive in Ian Desmond and Brendan Rodgers. Desmond got to third base on a single by Rodgers, who was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque earlier in the day and entered in the bottom of the ninth at shortstop when Rockies star third baseman Nolan Arenado left with a bruised left big toe after fouling a ball off his foot....

Training in the park for Schneiderlin The Dutchman arrived as Roberto Mancini’s replacement on August 9 after impressing during his six years in charge of Ajax and he received great backing in the transfer market. Joao Mario and Gabriel Barbosa joined from Sporting Lisbon and Santos, respectively, with big reputations, but both have so far struggled to justify Inter’s outlay. De Boer was dismissed on November 1 after four defeats in five Serie A matches and Icardi is certain that move has benefited Inter, who appointed Pioli a week later, with the Nerazzurri up to seventh after five wins in seven games....
