To celebrate the return of Europe’s premier club competition this week, our analysts have devised a fiendish Champions League quiz based on the best teams, players and nations to have graced it so far. There are only 10 questions, making it the ideal challenge for a coffee break or half-time interval.
The announcement that Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have agreed to two fights means 2021 looks set to be a landmark year for British boxing. The first is set to be a unification bout from which the winner would walk away with a full set of heavyweight belts, assuming that neither boxer suffers defeat in the meantime.
Bournemouth ended their losing run in midweek but remain stuck in the relegation places as they face Leicester in an important match at both ends of the Premier League table. The Cherries held Tottenham to a goalless draw but are without a win since February 1, while Leicester will be eyeing a vital three points in their pursuit of a Champions League place.
West Ham can hammer another nail in Norwich’s coffin and go a long way to easing their own relegation worries with victory at Carrow Road. The Hammers slipped up at home to Burnley in midweek but produced a decent performance and had taken four points from their previous two home games.
Bournemouth are running out of time and are under pressure to claim an unexpected victory as they host European hopefuls Tottenham. The Cherries have just five games left to climb out of the relegation zone and urgently need to end a run of five straight defeats.
While Roger Federer is still going strong despite approaching his 39th birthday, the landscape in men’s tennis is likely to change long before Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic – already well into their thirties – reach that milestone. We’ve run the rule over the game’s leading players who are still under 30 and looked at when they might shine on the ATP Tour.
Some UFC champions have come and gone but others have dominated for long periods. Retaining a title is no easy task so here we analyse all UFC results to see which fighters have done the best job of remaining the one to beat.
Swansea and QPR both suffered defeats at the weekend and have a quick chance to make amends when they meet in south Wales. Swansea threw away a 2-1 lead as they suffered a 3-2 loss at home to Derby to leave them four points outside the play-off places, while QPR dropped to 17th after a 2-0 defeat at Huddersfield.
The Los Angeles Lakers are sitting pretty at the top of the Western Conference but face a tough test tonight when they head to Boston. The Celtics are fourth in the East with only five home defeats and the Lakers are starting as only slight favourites.
West Brom have been stuttering in recent weeks and will be keen to ease the nerves of their fans when they host Stoke in the Monday night match. Albion began the weekend top of the Championship table but have given hope to the chasing pack with a run of five matches without a win.
Leeds will be hoping to put the pressure on their promotion rivals when they head to QPR in Saturday’s early Championship game. The roles were reversed last week when Brentford won the lunchtime kick-off before Leeds and West Brom dropped points so the Whites will be keen to get back to winning ways.
On Sunday evening we will discover which of this year’s six nominees will be the 66th winner of the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. We’ve analysed how the public have voted throughout the history to reveal which candidate has the best chance of winning the 2019 prize.
This West Yorkshire rivalry is renewed on Saturday lunchtime when Championship high-flyers Leeds make the short trip to neighbours Huddersfield. The Terriers claimed the bragging rights two years ago when they did the double over their rivals on the way to promotion to the Premier League but it is the Whites who are on course for the top flight this time.
Punters have the rare chance to back the Los Angeles Lakers as underdogs when they face the Utah Jazz tonight. The Lakers have the joint-best record in the NBA this season and are comfortably leading the way in the Western Conference.
