Ederson says it is an honour to be a part of Pep Guardiola s Manchester City, though admitted the manager can be sometimes annoying .

The goalkeeper joined City in June 2017 and has since kept 113 clean sheets in 257 Premier League appearances, more than any other goalkeeper in the competition since his debut.

He has won 15 major trophies with City, including six Premier Leagues, two FA Cups and a Champions League title, as well as the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup under Guardiola.

While on international duty with Brazil, Ederson attended an event for Children s Day and was asked if Guardiola was nice, annoying or angry by one child.

You re going to get me in trouble, Ederson told ESPN Brasil. He s all three.

He s a nice guy, he s sometimes…

Reigning champions Italy and 2006 runners-up France can train their thoughts firmly on reaching the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa if successful in qualifiers in the next few days.

France have a double-header against Lithuania on Saturday, away, and then on Wednesday in Paris, while Italy travel to Montenegro before a top-of-the-table clash against Republic of Ireland in Bari.

Coach Raymond Domenech, whose performance is still under the microscope from a demanding French media, leads his side in Kaunas on Saturday with the aim of shoring up their weakness in defence facing freekicks.

Central defender Philippe Mexes has battled back after his disastrous showing in the 3-1 defeat to Austria in September last year, when at fault in all three goals, and when …

We go again.

The phrase has become an omnipresent, short-hand rallying call in modern football, which is somewhat surprising given what followed its most famous use.

Steven Gerrard insisted it was what he and his Liverpool team-mates must do just that after a rousing 3-2 victory over Manchester City at Anfield in April 2014. A first Premier League title in 24 years was within reach.

This does not slip! Gerrard hollered. Only, of course, he did and City won the title.

Five years on, Liverpool again found City in their way. There were no slips during the run-in this time, nor much suggestion of a misplaced step. In the final reckoning, 98 points pipped 97. The third-highest points total in Premier League history was only good enough for second place.

Luis Suarez feels Marcelo Bielsa s coaching style has divided Uruguay s national team, as he revealed the negative atmosphere within the camp during the Copa America.

Suarez retired from international duty last month as Uruguay s leading scorer with 69 goals, while his tally of 143 caps is only bettered by Diego Godin (161).

The veteran forward was part of the side that finished third at the Copa America in July; La Celeste s best performance at the tournament since lifting the trophy in 2011.

However, he revealed it was not a happy camp in the United States, where Bielsa s tactics and approach caused friction among the players.

Suarez said some were contemplating their international futures, while he was critical of the treatment of midfielder Agustin Ca…

Tottenham have their best chance in years to snatch fourth spot in the Premier League and gain qualification to the champions league, but with some tough fixtures to come, they will see this home match to lowly Bolton as an absolutely crucial three points which they must win.

Harry Redknapp will be pleased that he has reached this stage of the season with a distinct advantage over fourth place rivals Man City, Aston Villa and Liverpool but he will also be aware that on paper Tottenham have the most difficult run in. After the bolton match Spurs will travel to Man City for a pivotal match and they follow that with a match away at Burnley already relegated and with the pressure off in their last game in the Premier League, they look like typical last game of the season banana ski…

Some of the best players in the world feature in LaLiga year after year. Even with the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to join Juventus two seasons ago, Spain s top-tier continues to showcase top talent on a weekly basis. However, there are a few players who have not been able to respond to the lofty expectations placed over their shoulders during the current term.

Without further ado, here are the three biggest underperforming new signings in LaLiga during the current 2019-20 season.

Nabil Fekir Real Betis

Nabil Fekir joined Real Betis coming off two stellar seasons at Olympique Lyon. The attacking midfielder was close to join Liverpool months ago. However, he ended signing with Betis in what seemed a surprising decision. Los Verdiblancos were not playing in Europe thi…

Manchester United announced Everton manager David Moyes as the successor to Sir Alex Ferguson on this day in 2013.

Following a couple of days of intense speculation and false starts, United confirmed Moyes was to leave the Toffees at the end of the 2012-13 season after signing a six-year contract at Old Trafford.

The Scot edged out Jose Mourinho to the coveted post and had the support of Ferguson, who had just spent almost 27 years in the United hotseat and remained on the board as a non-executive director.

Outgoing chief executive David Gill claimed it was a “dream job” and Moyes, far from viewing it as the poisoned chalice some claimed, felt it represented an opportunity he simply could not turn down.

“I know how hard it will be to follow the best…

The Week 8 schedule comes to a close when the New York Giants plug their ears and head to noisy Arrowhead Stadium for a primetime matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs tonight.

The Chiefs are lofty home chalk for this game, which could scare off some NFL bettors. Luckily, sportsbooks aren’t shy about the NFL prop bets for Monday Night Football, posting a full board of alternative action.

Here are our best NFL prop picks for Giants vs. Chiefs on November 1.

The second year of Mac Jones and the new-look Patriots get a tough test out of the gate, as New England heads to South Beach to face the Miami Dolphins.

With worrisome coaching and even worse talent at receiver, it’s the Patriots’ backfield that draws intrigue ahead of the new season. It’s a different story for Miami, with Tyreek Hill’s debut — and a fantastic 1-2 punch at receiver — eagerly awaited.

With Week 1 just around the corner, we look at the Patriots vs. Dolphins and bring you our best NFL player prop picks.

It’s been the year of the Under in the NFL, with games going below the total 59.7% of the time through the first 10 weeks of the season. That figure jumps to 60.6% if you exclude games that went to overtime.

Though the betting public generally loves supporting Overs, NFL odds totals have been trending down noticeably as the season goes on. As such, I think wagering opportunities are appearing on the Over, and that side makes up three of my favorite plays in the Week 11 odds.

I’ll parlay three Over wagers before diving into my favorite same-game parlay of the week, which involves the Dallas Cowboys taking on the Carolina Panthers.

Without further ado, here are my best free NFL parlay picks for Week 11.
