Now that Aaron Rodgers is gone for the season, this Game is popular for other reasons totally unrelated to Football . Nonetheless, it is a primetime Game between a top-tier offense and a top-tier defense. The Chiefs currently sit as a 9-point favorite over the New York Jets in Metlife Stadium.

Chelsea have finally unveiled Infinite Athlete as their new shirt sponsor for the 2023/24 season. After ending an agreement with Three, Chelsea spent months searching for a new sponsor and were forced to release their new kits without any branding after failing to get an agreement over the line in time.

Martin posted a 1m43.198s on his first run in Q2 on Saturday morning to beat Brad Binder's Friday benchmark, which in turn surpassed Jorge Lorenzo's 2015 record , by almost three tenths of a second. It gives Martin a second pole in the last three races, as well as a 10th in a row for Ducati. Reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia emerged as Martin's closest challenger, improving on his final run to record a 1m43.369s, falling 0.171s short of his main title rival. KTM rider Jack Miller ensured no lockout of the front row by going third-quickest, 0.353s off the pace, having lagged behind team-mate Binder on Friday. Binder himself qualified fifth, just over half a second off the pace, with the two KTMs being split by the VR46 Ducati of Marco Bezzecchi.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has claimed that his days of supporting Liverpool are the thing of the past and are equatable with his former love of the hit TV show Happy Days. Postecoglou was born in Greece but he and his family emigrated to Australia when he was five years old. Football was hardly the most mainstream sport in Australia during Postecoglou's youth, and he admitted in an interview with Football Focus last week how hard it was to keep track of the beautiful Game . Discussing his relationship with his father, Postecoglou said: "We'd stay up late at night and watch games, most of which were from England. It's the only football we'd get.

I loved Bill Shankly, I loved 'The Boot Room'." When asked if he was still a Liverpool fan, he replied: "Well, I've ...

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed midfielder Declan Rice and forward Bukayo Saka have not yet returned to training after picking up injuries. Summer signing Rice was replaced midway through last weekend's 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur after complaining of discomfort in his back, and he has since spent the week on the sidelines alongside Saka, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli.

The 20-year-old agreed to join Leipzig ahead of the 2023/24 season from Red Bull Salzburg last summer for £20.8m, though some of Europe's biggest clubs were interested in buying him before he'd even touched down in Germany. 90min reported back in April that Man Utd and Newcastle both had Sesko on their respective striker shortlists ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Egyptian has started the 2023/24 season in spectacular form, scoring four times and laying on four assists in seven matches and providing at least one goal contribution in every Game he's played. Salah could have left Liverpool over the summer though, with Saudi Pro League champions Al Ittihad showing a willingness to pay a world-record sum for the forward.

It's special that he's with us. We should ch...

Wataru Endo has picked Alisson Becker as the player who has impressed him the most since joining Liverpool. The Japan international was one of four central midfielders the Reds signed during the summer transfer window in what was a complete overhaul of the club's midfield options.
