The Premier League is back in action once again this weekend with a host of entertaining fixtures, following on from a string of dramatic twists and turns in Europe during the week. There are a few clear races in which the favourite is becoming clear but in equal measure, there s also a great deal of uncertainty still in the mix as we prepare to head into the month of March. Today, we re going to take a look at Sunday s intriguing game between Leicester City and Arsenal.

Leicester

Leicester City may not quite be at the point yet whereby they can be viewed as legitimate title contenders again, but after being knocked out of the Europa League during the week, they should be able to focus most of their attention o…

Can anyone stop Spain?

A late Mario Bolatti goal gave Argentina the win they needed in Uruguay to see them through to the world cup finals in South Africa next summer. As I said yesterday, the troubled and troubling campaign will now be forgotten as Diego Maradona and his men prepare for the finals and will no doubt be installed as one of the favourites to win it.

Celebrating

Their were a few other teams celebrating qualification last night and they included some big names and some new ones in relation to the world cup.

Honduras is a country in turmoil afyer a military coup earlier on in the year. Despite that their football team has qualified for the world cup finals for only the second time in their history. A 1-0 win over El Salvador was enough to seal …

Brazil have made a huge statement ahead of next year s World Cup, demolishing Spain 3-0 to claim their third straight Confederations Cup title.

In an ominous performance, Brazil showed they will be genuine contenders at the 2014 World Cup with Fred scoring either side of Neymar s thumping goal as the hosts handed Spain their first competitive loss since the 2010 World Cup.

Brazil started in full flight in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday and stunned the reigning world and European champions after just 90 seconds when Fred hit the back of the net after a cross from Hulk.

While the striker failed to get his head on the cross, Spanish defenders Gerard Pique and Alvaro Arbeloa failed to clear the danger and as the ball hit the ground, Fred, who was lying on his back, scooped it ov…

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho told Anthony Martial he had to improve after failing to take his opportunities in the first team.

Martial, 21, has scored twice in just nine Premier League starts this season, having impressed in his maiden campaign in England in 2015-16.

Mourinho said the France international had simply not taken his chances when they were given to him.

I don t think he lost his focus. I think he just didn t catch with both hands a big opportunity he had, he told UK newspapers.

We have still five players for these positions — we have Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Martial. I cannot give to the same player chance after chance after chance and not consider the effort of the others.

Shanghai Shenhua striker Demba Ba is back in Istanbul, where he is expected to officiate his loan deal back with the Turkish club.

Former Newcastle United and forward has spent a year with the Kara Kartallar before making a break for the emerging Chinese football market in 2015, but his influence in the East was reduced to 29 matches and seven months on the sidelines due to a leg injury.

Having returned to full fitness, the Senegalese international has decided to get back to Europe where he is expected to sign a loan deal with his former employers.

Demba Ba underwent the detailed medical exams at the Turkish club on Monday and a deal is expected to be confirmed during the final day of the January transfer market.

During his first spell with the Turkish …

AC Milan have put their Serie A top-four chances in serious doubt by losing 2-0 away to Spezia on Saturday.

With three rounds left to be played, they re in fifth place with a four-point deficit compared to fourth-place Lazio.

Their die-hard supporters were obviously unhappy after the match, and they shared their thoughts with the players, head coach Stefano Pioli and his staff.

The Milan ultras were not happy with the players

Market: Rosario double chance

Odds: 17/20 @

Hoping to clinch back-to-back Primera Division victories in the early hours of Tuesday, Rosario will make the trip to Jose Amalfitani Stadium when they meet Velez Sarsfield.

Starting with the hosts, only just clinging to their Primera Division status last season, it appears that Velez Sarsfield are destined for another top-flight struggle this time around. Once again battling it out at the foot of the table, Ricardo Gareca’s men also find themselves in the midst of an extended blip. Last seen putting in another downbeat display as they suffered a 2-0 loss away at Estudiantes on May 7th, the Liniers-based outfit have failed to win any of their last seven straight Primera Division appearances a run that stems all the w…

Cardiff City have announced the signing of Norway forward Jo Inge Berget from Molde on a two-and-half year contract.

The 23-year-old has arrived for an undisclosed fee, having previously played under Cardiff boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the duo s home country.

Berget is Solskjaer s third signing for Cardiff, following Mats Moller Daehli and Magnus Wolff Eikrem, with all three having played for the manager as Molde won back-to-back Norwegian titles in 2011 and 2012.

Solskjaer expects Berget to add a new dimension to Cardiff s frontline and feels the player will have no problems adapting to the English game.

I’m delighted to welcome Jo to the club. He went through his medical last night and signed his contract this morning, Solskjaer told the club s official webs…

Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has failed to rule out leaving Allianz Arena in the summer transfer window.

The 30-year-old has another year left on his deal wit the Bavarians, but seeing as he is no longer an undisputed starter, the Germany star appears to be considering his options.

Schweinsteiger has been heavily linked with a summer exit and he now admits that is a realistic possibility.

“I have agreed with Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, that we sit down together in the summer,” the midfielder told reporters after the international friendly between Germany and USA.

“I am in no hurry and have another year left on my contract. It is still early in the summer.”

Bastian Schweinsteiger is one of those players that have never left t…

Raheem Sterling s comments on racism will be seen as a milestone and have already affected media reporting, according to Fare executive director Piara Power.

Manchester City attacker Sterling s decision to speak out after he was racially abused in a Premier League game at Chelsea in December 2018 was praised by the chief of Fare, an organisation dedicated to combating inequality in football.

The England international argued the way the media reports about young black players contributes to racism in society, with Powar believing the point has been taken on board.

I think what Raheem did there was very important, Powar told Omnisport.  He was racially abused at Chelsea and rather than go after the perpetrators, or focus on that incident, he knew the world had …
