Liverpool face Manchester City at the Etihad on Thursday evening, a top of the table clash between two sides who are vying for Premier League glory. The man chosen to officiate, Anthony Taylor, hails from Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester. Suffice to say, Liverpool fans are none too pleased… Reaction: ‘No words' Anthony Taylor from Manchester will ref Man City v LFC . No words .…

Thursday likely will bring with it great drama, as first faces off against second in Premier League action. Liverpool were trailing Manchester City in the table not too long ago, but a strong festive period for the former and two defeats for Pep Guardiola's side have left Jurgen Klopp's men in the title race driving seat. The Reds currently boast a seven-point advantage at…

A very Happy New Year to all, may it bring us all a little dusting of luck and progression, in life, in love and in horse racing.

Cheltenham 12.50 – The Druid’s Nephew Clearly I’m taking a massive chance here with a horse returning from a monster absence. But the fact remains that The Druid’s Nephew was only beaten a couple of lengths in a hot race at Sandown on his most recent start and he is able to run here off a 6 pound lower mark (9lbs lower than when…

Battle of Ideas Update: Battle of Ideas came back from Taunton with a dirty nose. We’ve had a couple of them like it. You look at them in the paddock and they look superb, he travelled beautifully for the first circuit, and then went out like a light. Then by the time we loaded him on the lorry, it had brought it out of…

Betting preview and latest odds for Ally Pally showpiece A tournament which began with 96 tungsten tossing hopefuls has been whittled down to just two. But who will come out on top between Michael van Gerwen and Michael Smith in the 2019 PDC World Darts Championship Final?   MVG is going for his third Alexandra Palace crown, while Smith is hoping to upset the…

I haven't ridden a winner over the Christmas period so it's been a bit frustrating in that respect but quite a few horses have run well including Thistlecrack in the King George so there has been plenty of positives.  I was really pleased with Thistlecrack's run and I probably did the winner Clan Des Obeaux a dis-service beforehand because I didn't expect that he'd…

The last 20 minutes of title winners’ matches are supposed to be a time of either tedium or showboating. There is such a gap between the Premier League’s haves and have-nots that well over half of league games will be over as contests before the game enters its final throes. If you’re having to fight back then, you didn’t do your job well enough…

As far as festive and new year traditions go, watching enormous, bearded men lift, grunt and roar their way through a series of cartoonishly difficult tests of strength belongs in the same area as drinking tequila slammers for breakfast (now that was a happy Boxing Day). But for some, it has become a tradition none the less, because on Channel 5 The World’s Strongest…

If this carries on Manchester United might have to take the candidacy of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seriously. Under the great Norwegian revivalist United present as Manchester’s favourite new combo, the Happy Sundays. There is no point telling United fans not to get carried away. Compared to the torpor of the recent past they are all high as kites on the free-scoring joy of it…

Manchester United David De Gea 7/10 Had little to do and had no chance of stopping Ake's header. Comfortable with the ball at his feet and not flustered whatsoever. An easy day at the office. Ashley Young 7/10 Adventurous from right back and keen to push on and threaten a disjointed Bournemouth left-hand side, but perhaps fortunate to not see red for a terrible…

Betting preview and odds for Premier League clash Manchester City must beat Southampton this afternoon or face the possibility of falling further behind runaway league leaders Liverpool.   The Citizens are currently enduring one of their worst spells under Pep Guardiola, following back-to-back defeats against Crystal Palace and Leicester City over Christmas. Can they stem the tide on the South Coast? Or will Ralph…

While singling out games between Tottenham and Wolves as ones to watch back at the start of the season would doubtless have opened up a journalist up to accusations of hipsterism, Mauricio Pochettino and Nuno Espirito Santo have crafted two of the most interesting teams in the Premier League. Ships in the night during their playing days – Nuno was a back-up goalkeeper with…
