Two sides coming off the back of disappointing results in Europe meet on Saturday night in the Premier League when Newcastle United host Manchester United at St James' Park. Neither team could secure a much-needed victory in midweek Champions League action as the Magpies were cruelly denied all three points at Paris Saint-Germain by a contentious late penalty, while the Red Devils threw away a 3-1 lead in Turkey as Galatasaray struck back to claim a point. Newcastle have revived their league prospects after a difficult start to the campaign but sit in seventh, a place behind Man Utd who are the division's form outfit with five wins from their last six Game s. Here's 90min's previews of the game on Saturday evening. What time does Newcastle vs Manchester United kick-off? Location : Newcastle, England Stadium : St James' Park Date : Saturday 2 December Kick-off Time : 20:00 GMT / 15:00 ET / 12:00 PT Referee : Robert Jones VAR : Michael Salisbury Newcastle vs Manchest...

Do-it-all central midfielders have enjoyed a resurgence in recent years and there are plenty of top players available on Football Manager 2024. Regardless of the budget you're working with, you can find real value as you seek to build a midfield that can take you to the next level. Here are 90min's top picks for central midfielders to sign on FM24. Cheap options Adam Lallana Brighton A proper creative midfielder, Lallana is good enough for top teams, but you'll have to accept his age (35) and his tackling (9). Still, if you want a passer, he's great for £4.5m. Giacomo Bonaventura Fiorentina Fiorentina will try and tie Bonaventura down to a new contract quickly but, if you move fast, you can snap him up for £3.5m. Etienne Capoue Villarreal With 16 tackling and 15 passing, there's not a whole lot Capoue can't do. He's 35 and so can't be relied upon for too long, but if you want a short-term fix, this is an outrageous deal for £2.8m. Ivan Rakitic Sevill...

This week’s edition of Thursday Night Football takes us to Dallas, Texas, as the Seahawks take on the Cowboys. The Cowboys have been rolling the past few weeks while the Seahawks have lost 3 of their last 4 games, and oddsmakers don’t seem to have much faith in Seattle as it has been listed as a 9-point underdog. I’ve crafted a Same Game Parlay for the matchup that pays out at nearly 4/1 odds at FanDuel Sportsbook. Cowboys first half -5.5 (-120) Tony Pollard to score a touchdown (-165) Geno Smith under 222.5 passing yards (-114) Same Game Parlay odds: +373 Dallas Cowboys first half -5.5 (-120) over Seattle Seahawks The Cowboys in the first half have become a must-bet spot for me in the last few weeks. In fact, the Cowboys have won the first half in 6 straight games. Let’s take a look at Dallas’ first-half winning margins during the streak: 10, 14, 28, 3, 24 and 3. Only the Eagles and Chargers were able to lose by less than double-digits in the first half. The wi...

It’s a little after 11am on Tuesday morning of 28 November at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo. The media mass is assembled outside of the Gresini Racing garage, and has been for well over an hour – hands frozen, faces beaten by a biting wind underneath a cold and overcast sky. Technically, this is the beginning of the 2024 season. And thus, the beginning of Marc Marquez’s time as a Ducati rider. To say this is one of the biggest and most important test days in the last 10 years would be something of an understatement. Hence the swell of bodies surrounding the satellite Gresini team’s garage. At 11:14am, Marquez throws his leg over the GP23 he will race next year – the bike having been wheeled out of Johann Zarco’s Pramac box on Sunday evening and into Gresini’s – and was on his way for his first MotoGP laps in 11 years on something that wasn’t a Honda. He completes eight laps on his first run on the Ducati, the best of which a 1m30.683s. At the time, it put ...
