City will feel like they are facing a usually robust Newcastle side at an opportune juncture, and having lost three of their last four, our correct score prediction forecasts another Magpies defeat this week and a 2-1 Leicester win.
Being in the States I don't get to see world-class soccer players all the time. When the women went down from the stage, the men went up and just being in the presence of players I've looked up to, to learn their craft and better myself. I didn't say anything but it was an honour to be in the same room as them. Who would play you in a film?"Crystal Dunn [USA team-mate]. That would be fun. No, I'd pick Blake Lively as she's adorable and she's got blond hair and her husband is hysterical.

The winners of Scotland's Euro 2020 play-offs (Path C) will also be in the group. The Three Lions and Scotland could end up in a group with world champions France and European champions Portugal, because they are among the second and third seeds respectively. Seeding is based on positions and then points in the qualifying groups, rather than world rankings. But a kinder draw would see them in with Poland and the Czech Republic, ranked 21st and 43rd in the world respectively.

Ronaldo, who became the first player to reach 25 Serie A goals in a season for the club since 1961 on Saturday, met Juan Cuadrado’s pass to score for a fifth successive game and leave Juve in control. However, Ibrahimovic’s spot-kick, which was awarded after Leonardo Bonucci was penalised for handball, flipped the momentum.

For the majority of professional footballers pre-season training is a necessary evil. Something most would happily forget as quickly as jumping in and out of an ice bath for aching muscles.
