Because of this, the league attracts significant sponsorship and interest, generating millions each year for the 20 clubs that compete in it. While the modern game has a strong focus on European qualification, and leagues like the EPL being privy to multiple Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League places, it has created a feeling of apathy among the top teams who are all but guaranteed access every year.

The 52-year-old, who also made over 200 appearances for the club as a player, was named interim manager in December 2018 following the sacking of Jose Mourinho. After a successful start he was handed the role full-time, leading the club for nearly three years before being dismissed in November 2021. After a lengthy spell out of the game, he returned at Besiktas in January 2025 but lasted just eight months before being sacked.

Starting with Atletico, while Diego Simeone's men might have got December underway with consecutive La Liga defeats, it appears that was just a minor blip for Los Rojiblancos. Despite opening the New Year with a 1-1 stalemate away at Real Sociedad last weekend, they have won each of their other four appearances across all competitions and have also suffered just a pair of domestic defeats since the opening weekend of the 2025/26 campaign.

I am all for playing for pride and letting the starters play last week, but this game Sunday is completely pointless for a guy like Dak Prescott to play. It is all speculation, but Prescott has had two major surgeries and just had his healthiest year in a long time, yet they are running him out there in a game that means 100% nothing. If something were to happen to him, how do you think the front office and head coach Brian Schottenhimer would feel answering to the media?

Nikola Jokic injured his knee on Monday night and is expected to miss the next month, which has a profound impact on the NBA MVP race. In the short term, it narrows the field down to one huge favorite in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. But in the long run, this trend of injuries could end up widening the field to include players previously not even in the hunt.

The 'Next UK General Election - Most Seats' betting market has been hugely popular with bettors this week. Reform are the odds-on favourites at 10/11 to win the most seats at the next general election.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson has emerged as the clear frontrunner to take on the role of James Bond next. Taylor-Johnson has long been linked with the role of 007, and his position at the top of the market reflects growing confidence that he could be handed the keys to the Aston Martin. The 35-year-old boasts an impressive CV, including a Golden Globe win and nominations for two BAFTAs and a British Independent Film Award, making him a strong fit for the long-running franchise.

Army football's entire identity depends on being efficient but their data expose a team that operates with fragility. At 4.8 yards per play, every drive is a puzzle that requires multiple correct moves in a row. There's no short cut, no explosive theta to bail them out, no quick score hiding in the back pocket. That's why Army has reached the end zone just 35 times all season, one of the lowest totals in the country.

Sunday's slate features some key divisional games, with the Chicago Bears heading to Lambeau Field to face the Packers with first place in the NFC North at stake. The top two teams in the AFC North meet as well, with the Baltimore Ravens hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Houston Texans and Chiefs, both fighting to make the AFC playoff field, meet up for "Sunday Night Football," and the week wraps up with the Eagles visiting the Los Angeles Chargers.

Starting with the hosts, while Arsenal might have eventually been forced to settle for a single point away at Stamford Bridge over the weekend, Mikel Arteta's men are in the midst of what has become a real fairytale. Despite ending the 2025/26 campaign without a single piece of silverware to show for their troubles, the Gunners are almost universally regarded as the standout title contender this time around. Opening the midweek fixtures holding a five-point buffer over the chasing pack, Arsenal will be looking to make another statement here. Cruising their way to a Champions League knockout stage ticket and winning all of their first five European appearances by an aggregate score of 14-1, Arteta's high-flying squad have rightfully received a fearsome reputation from across the continent.

The Week 13 schedule for the 2025 NFL season begins with a great slate of Thanksgiving Day matchups, and we have you covered for what should be an exciting holiday. According to ESPN Research, the average over/under point total of 51.2 is the highest for Thanksgiving games over the past 40 seasons. Buckle up. Ahead of the three matchups, our NFL Nation reporters take you inside each locker room with key storylines and a look back at each team's history playing on Thanksgiving.

Week 13 gets underway with a Thanksgiving Day tripleheader, leading off with the Green Bay Packers visiting the Detroit Lions (-2.5) in an NFC North clash. The Kansas City Chiefs (-3) and Dallas Cowboys meet up in the second game of the day, and the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens (-6.5) close out the action. We also have a Black Friday game to look forward to, as the Philadelphia Eagles (-7) host the Chicago Bears.

Liverpool's dismal 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest has only increased the pressure on Arne Slot and the Reds boss is now our second favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave their job. Slot's odds of 16/1 have tumbled down to 11/2 over the weekend, meaning only Leeds boss Daniel Farke is ahead of him in the market, and if the Dutchman can't turn results around quickly, that price will only shorten further.

Josh Allen recorded a season-high three rushing touchdowns -- and three passing TDs, for good measure -- in the Buffalo Bills' 44-32 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11, giving him 75 for his career. Only three times in NFL history, including the postseason, has a quarterback had three passing and three rushing touchdowns. Allen has done it twice (last year in a Week 14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams), and Otto Graham did it in 1954.

Week 9 gets underway with the Baltimore Ravens (with Lamar Jackson?) visiting the Miami Dolphins on "Thursday Night Football." Sunday afternoon has four games with spreads at or near double digits, but the top game features the Buffalo Bills as a slight home underdog to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders will meet on Sunday night to close out the day's slate of games. "Monday Night Football" closes out Week 9 with the Dallas Cowboys hosting the Arizona Cardinals.

David Onama and Steve Garcia headline their first fight card inside the Octagon when the featherweights square off in the main event at UFC Fight Night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday ( 7 p.m. ET on ESPN+, with prelims at 4 p.m.).
