We peer into the world…

Odds and preview ahead of London derby There’s far more than just local pride at stake as Tottenham Hotspur face Chelsea at Wembley. The Blues sit a single point above Mauricio Pochettino’s side, with both sides in strong form.

The Tractor Boys are anchored in the bottom three but do have new manager Paul Lambert in charge. West Brom come into the game off the back of a 4-1 win over high-flying Leeds United.

Preview for the Copa Libertadores Final South America will stand still on Saturday night as River Plate and Boca Juniors clash at El Monumental in the second-leg of the Copa Libertadores Final. The tie is finely poised after the fierce rivals shared a pulsating 2-2 draw at La Bombonera a fortnight ago. River are 23/20 to prevail on the night, with Boca a 27/10…

The Catalan, and Spanish, press didn’t have to go too far to find a story to fill the time, and the pages, over the last international break in October. The future of Julen Lopetegui dominated the agenda at that time, with Spain’s surprising defeat to England also a strong enough tale to shift at least a few newspapers. There was no such obvious story…

It was the greatest managerial achievement in the history of English league football. Leicester City had only narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship in 2014/15 and were 500/1 outsiders to win the Premier League title the following year, but Claudio Ranieri masterminded what many have called the biggest sporting upset of all time. The veteran Italian is now back on English soil at the…

Haydock 1.50 – Ch’Tibello This is a real little minefield of a race, but I’m taking a chance that Ch’Tibello can take advantage of a slipping handicap mark on a track that he loves. I’m hoping that he’ll be ridden with restraint – which suits him best – and that he’ll get a decent pace to run at courtesy of Cliffs of Dover and…

The Tizzard stables preview the weekend ahead Saturday Haydock Park 12.10 – Lough Derg Diamond He’s a horse we bought at the sales and we are chucking him in at the deep end.

Top jockey previews his weekend chances I took a kicking last Saturday but fortunately I was okay. I had to go off for X-rays and I was signed off for a few days. On Wednesday I went and did a few tests and I passed them so I was back riding on Thursday. I rode a winner on my first ride back which is…

Want to be all famous and a superstar? Feel like hearing thousands chanting your name and clamouring to be allowed to touch the hem of your garment? Want to live the good life, hobnob with the movers and shakers of the society and wine and dine with kings and presidents? Well, for that kind of a feel, you can either dig up some diamonds…

Game of the weekend The job that Maurizio Sarri has done at Chelsea so far this season should not be underestimated. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp spoke for many when he said that the transition from Antonio Conte to the former Napoli manager was the “biggest I ever saw in such a short space of time”. When you consider that Conte actually took Chelsea’s first…

After the stalemate against Stoke City at The City Ground before the international break, Nottingham Forest travel to a rejuvenated Hull City on Saturday afternoon. The Reds should be full of confidence having only conceded one goal in their last four Championship matches and sitting only one point outside the play-off positions. Forest fans may well be entitled to believe there is quite a…

Who will follow in their footsteps this year?
