Jordan Pickford will keep his place in goal for Sunderland when they face Everton in the Premier League on Monday, manager David Moyes has confirmed.
Pickford shone in a 1-1 draw with Southampton ahead of the international break, only to let a tame Jay Rodriguez shot squirm through his hands in the last few minutes to cost his side two points.
Moyes completed the signing of goalkeeper Mika from Boavista to add to his goalkeeping options, with Vito Mannone out of action due to an elbow injury, but the Sunderland manager has faith in Pickford.
Pickford has the jersey, Moyes told reporters on Friday.
He played really well against Southampton and he needs to play well to keep his place.
Mika is likely to be joined by fellow new arrival Victor Anic…
Borderlands 4 is one of several major games officially lined up for launch in 2025, and though we’ve seen nothing of the game other than its brief announcement teaser earlier this year, it seems like that might be changing soon.
That’s as per Randy Pitchford, the boss of developer Gearbox Entertainment, who has said on Twitter that a new trailer of the highly anticipated looter shooter is in the works. “Cooking up a new Borderlands 4 trailer and it’s badass af,” he wrote. “Latest render is knocking me out.”
When we might be seeing that new trailer for the game is anyone’s guess, but it sounds like it won’t be too long before it premieres, which means we might be looking at a showing at The G…

Cristiano Ronaldo endured a frosty reception from Manchester United team-mate Bruno Fernandes as they reunited for Portugal s World Cup preparations.
The superstar forward, who has cut a frustrated figure at Old Trafford this term following an off-season spent reportedly seeking an exit, roundly criticised the club in an interview with broadcaster Piers Morgan.

That is not the case with fel…
