New York Yankees vs Detroit Tigers: NRFI (-105) Given the fact that there’s only 4 games taking place on Thursday, it will be the rare article where I just target one play in this market.

Tottenham outcast joins Leeds United on season-long loan

Tottenham Hotspur right-back Djed Spence has signed for Leeds United on a season -long loan. The England youth international has been used sparingly by Spurs ever since his 2022 move from Middlesbrough. Upon his arrival, he was infamously labelled as a 'club signing' by then-head coach Antonio Conte. Spence played just 41 minutes for Tottenham before joining Rennes on loan for the remainder of the season during the January transfer window. He returned to north London this summer but failed to make an immediate impression under new head coach Ange Postecoglou and has now joined Leeds on loan for the 2023/24 campaign. READ MORE FROM 90MIN'S TALKING TRANSFERS TEAM feed Spence becomes the second Spurs player to sign for Leeds on loan this summer, following in the footsteps of Joe Rodon, who coincidentally also joined Rennes during the second half of last season.

Premier League rule changes for 2023/24 season explained

Image
The laws that govern the game of football have been argued over for centuries. When the first unified set of rules was being thrashed out in London's Freemasons' Tavern in 1863, banning the practice of 'hacking' - deliberately kicking an opponent mid-dribble - caused an uproar. A Mr Campbell from Blackheath lamented: "You will do away with the courage and pluck of the game, and I will be bound to bring over a lot of Frenchman who would beat you with a week's practice." More than a century and a half later, the laws of the game are still being tweaked. With hacking long since outlawed, here are the rule changes that have been made ahead of the 2023/24 Premier League season and how they may impact players from France and everywhere else.

Man Utd offered host of left-backs to cover Luke Shaw injury

Manchester United have been offered a number of left-backs as they consider making a signing to cover the absence of Luke Shaw, 90min understands. 28-year-old Shaw picked up a muscle injury in training last week and could miss as much as six weeks of action after manager Erik ten Hag said he may be out for longer than Mason Mount, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury . Understudy Tyrell Malacia is also a few weeks away from full fitness, leaving Ten Hag and United without a natural left-back for the first few weeks of the season. The versatile Diogo Dalot filled in against Nottingham Forest - a Game United came back from 2-0 down in to win 3-2 - but he struggled against the impressive running of Wales international Brennan Johnson and is naturally right-footed. 90min understands that a number of players have been offered to United as a short-term solution, with a loan until January under consideration by the club's hierarchy. Chelsea's Marc Cucurella is one player

Chelsea 3-0 Luton: Player ratings as Sterling inspires Pochettino's first win

Image
FROM STAMFORD BRIDGE - Chelsea picked up their first win of the Premier League season under the Friday night lights at Stamford Bridge, with Raheem Sterling inspiring the Blues to a 3-0 defeat of newly-promoted Luton Town. The victory represents a first in com Pet itive Football for Mauricio Pochettino as Chelsea manager, and only a fifth league win for Chelsea in this calendar year. Crystal Palace, Leeds United, Leicester City and AFC Bournemouth are the other four if you were wondering. Chelsea threatened in the early stages as you'd expect, with Sterling missing the best early chance as he blasted a half volley at Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski. It didn't take long for Sterling to open the scoring for the night, though. Taking the ball from the right hand side, his settled position in this Pochettino team for now, Sterling dribbled through a host of players before slotting the ball into the far corner with his weaker left foot. Sterling is one of Chelsea's most exper

How Sadio Mane stopped Jeremy Doku joining Liverpool

Manchester City-bound Jeremy Doku has revealed how a conversation with Sadio Mane led to a potential transfer to Liverpool falling through. 90min understands that City have agreed a fee of €65m (£55m) including add-ons with Doku's current club Rennes for the talented winger's services, and personal terms on a five-year deal have also been agreed. Official confirmation of the move is now seemingly imminent, pending a successful medical, and ahead of the transfer some quotes have come to light regarding how close Doku has previously come to joining a Premier League club. At just 15 years of age, prior to signing his first professional contract at Anderlecht, the Belgian attracted a huge amount of interest from Liverpool, who sent a Jurgen Klopp and a number of first-team players to try and convince Doku of making the move to Anfield.
