A remarkable first season in England saw striker Erling Haaland help Manchester City win the treble under Pep Guardiola in 2022-23. The Norwegian set a new Premier League record by scoring 36 goals in his first campaign with the club, however, a foot injury this season has seen him spend time on the sidelines as City com Pet e on several fronts.

Lions vs Cowboys prop betting picks: 3 best bets for Saturday's game

It’s time for SNF! But no, it’s not Sunday Night Football . The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys will take the field on Saturday night in Arlington, Texas, for what is expected to be a shootout. Oddsmakers have set the total north of 50 points, so I’m anticipating plenty of big plays, great passes, and bad defense. I’ve found 3 player prop best bets for Saturday night’s Game , including one at plus odds. Check out our Detroit Lions vs Dallas Cowboys predictions Dak Prescott (DAL) Over 275.5 Passing Yards (-114) On the road, Dak Prescott is a decent quarterback. At home, Prescott is an MVP candidate. In 7 games in Dallas this season, Prescott is averaging 303.5 yards per game with a 74% completion rate and a 122.5 rating. He also has an absurd 20/2 touchdown to interception ratio in that 7-game span. The fewest amount of yards he’s thrown for at home this season was 255 against the Jets back in Week 2, and that was because the Cowboys were winning by such a wide margin in the second

Why is Kai Havertz not playing for Arsenal against West Ham?

As the hectic festive Football flurry continues in the English Premier League, Arsenal look to retake their position at the summit of the table as we say goodbye to 2023 and welcome in 2024. Ahead of Thursday evening’s clash with fellow Londoners West Ham United, the Gunners sit two points behind Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool but know that a home win will clinch top spot with exactly half the 38 Game s having been played. After breaking through last season as Manchester City’s main rivals for the title - The Reds taking a breather from that particular responsibility - Mikel Arteta targeted reinforcements to push on even further in his goals to bring glory back to the club. Big money was invested in the likes of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz, with eyes on taking that one extra step to become champions of England, something not seen in north London for two decades. 🔴 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛𝘿𝘼𝙔 ⚪️ 🆚 West Ham United ⏰ 8.15pm (UK) 🏆 Premier League 🏟 Emirates Stadium pic.twitter.com/eTNuxwaPmZ — Arsenal

Everton vs Man City - Premier League: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction

Improving Everton welcome Club World Cup champions Manchester City to Goodison Park on Wednesday night as the festive Premier League action continues. Sean Dyche's Toffees were unlucky to lose out to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, going down 2-1 in north London, and showed why they would be 10th in the Premier League table were it not for their recent ten-point deduction.

Celtics vs Clippers Picks, Predictions & Odds Tonight - NBA

Image
If I had told you before the season that the Boston Celtics would be among the inner circle contenders come the Christmas break, there would be little surprise. How about if I told you the Los Angeles Clippers would join them?  And that Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the poster children for the load management era, would have missed two games combined in that same time? The Clippers have flipped the script on this NBA season. Not only are they Health y and good, but for a team that employs a lot of players who aren’t exactly seen as team-first at times, the vibes are immaculate. Boston has a tall task ahead if they want to go into Crypto.com Arena on Saturday, December 23, and come away with the win. My free NBA picks for Celtics vs. Clippers believe even one of the best defenses in the NBA isn’t enough to slow down this version of Kawhi. Celtics vs Clippers odds Celtics vs Clippers predictions The Los Angeles Clippers are contenders. Believe me, I’m as surprised

90min rounds up the latest  transfer news , rumours and gossip circulating around the world... Manchester United will need to fork out a staggering £100m if they want to sign breakout Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite . (i) Kalvin Phillips has told Manchester City he wants to leave the club in January, with Newcastle United eyeing up a loan deal for the outcast England international. (The Guardian) Juventus are also in talks with City over a temporary deal for the former Leeds star, who has played just 390 minutes of Premier League football in 16 months. (ESPN) Bayern Munich 'can imagine' selling star midfielder Joshua Kimmich next summer, with Manchester City and Barcelona known admirers. (Bild) Liverpool and Manchester United are also interested in Kimmich as they bid to strengthen in central midfield. (Ekrem Konur) Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo has told the club he wants to leave on a free transfer next summer with Tottenham snooping around his serv

Why are Frenkie de Jong and Pedri not playing for Barcelona against Almería in LaLiga?

Image
Barcelona take on Almería in LaLiga match day 18 of the 2023/24 season (KO 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT.). The Game , to be held at Montjuïc, has Xavi Hernández scratching his head on how to fill the great big hole in his starting XI for the Game , given that both Pedri and Frenkie de Jong, his first choice creators, are unavailable. Barcelona sit in a precarious position in LaLiga: with Girona and Real Madrid 9 and 7 points ahead , respectively, they have to deal with pushing past Atlético Madrid into third before they can think of retaining their title. As well as this, Athletic Club and Real Sociedad are flying high this season and are locking their sights on that last, precious Champions League spot in the division. Tonight’s Game against Almería, currently rock-bottom of the league standings , presents an opportunity for the Catalan side to leapfrog Atlético and find some momentum before the Christmas break : good feelings have been hard to come by this season and as such, even b

Who are best MLS prospects in the Superdraft?

The 2024 MLS Superdraft, which is sponsored by adidas, introduces some new changes or elements. Teams have the option to choose players who are in their second year or beyond, which opens up various possibilities for their selection. It is possible that sophomores or juniors may be chosen to come back to school and participate in the fall of 2024. Prospects can make an impact on a team pretty fast and change a franchise future. The issue always being that teams need to be able to find the right fit for the position that they need . Is not always that a franchise gets the number one draft prospect if they don’t need to cover that position. That’s why we bring the best players per position.

Panthers vs Flames Picks, Predictions & Odds Tonight - NHL

Image
The Florida Panthers finish their Western Canada road trip tonight when they head to Scotiabank Saddledome to take on the Calgary Flames. Florida earned a convincing 5-1 win over Edmonton on Saturday and will look to go two-for-two in Alberta against a Calgary team that has just two victories in its last eight contests while allowing nearly four goals per game over that span. Recent form has led the NHL odds to mark the Cats as road favorites. Carter Verhaeghe has been on fire for Florida, and I'll be targeting his NHL player props to cash in on his recent run. Find out more in my Panthers vs. Flames NHL picks for Monday, December 18. Panthers vs Flames odds Panthers vs Flames predictions The Florida Panthers snapped a two- Game losing streak on Saturday as they cruised to a 5-1 win over the Oilers. Carter Verhaeghe and Sam Bennett had two points apiece to lead the charge while the team’s leading scorer, Sam Reinhart, had a relatively quiet night with just one

What is Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen’s net worth?

Following a 2020 NFL season in which he broke a host of franchise records, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was rewarded with a big-money contract extension in August 2021 . A closer look at Josh Allen’s net worth As the starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, you can probably imagine that Josh Allen earns a pretty penny, even more so after he signed a six-year, $258 million extension with $150 million guaranteed in 2021. It is worth noting that in March this year, Allen’s deal was restructured by the Bills just as his extension mentioned above was due to kick in - he earned just over $85 million across his first five seasons. That move resulted in no loss on Allen’s part but rather a bolstering of his already appealing image, as evidenced by him being the new cover athlete for Madden 24. This is all to say that it’s highly likely that the 27-year-old’s net worth will continue to increase. Josh Allen’s Net Worth Goes Long! See Hailee Steinfeld’s NFL Star Boyfriend’s Fortu
