The Snooker Shoot Out gets underway on Wednesday in Leicester, with the unique event providing a very different atmosphere to the rest of the calendar. Every match in the tournament is just one frame, with a 10 minute maximum and played under a shot clock. The fans in Leicester are welcome to make plenty of noise and they certainly will do so, especially in the Friday and Saturday evening sessions. Ranking points are on the line and there is £50,000 to the winner so it can be a career-changing event for players, as it was for Chris Wakelin a couple…

Victor Osimhen is determined to see the season through with Galatasaray – but hopes to put himself in the shop window for Premier League clubs with his performances across the campaign. The 25-year-old Nigeria striker has hit the ground running in Turkey after completing a season-long loan move from Napoli to Galatasaray in September, scoring nine goals in his opening 11 games in all competitions. There had been intense speculation surrounding Osimhen’s future throughout much of the summer transfer window, with Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain all credited with an interest in the forward. Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ahli…

Louis Saha fears Ruben Amorim faces the sternest test of his Manchester United tenure to date when the Red Devils face a rejuvenated Arsenal. The Gunners appear to have got their season back on track following three straight victories which have seen Mikel Arteta’s men amass 13 goals. United, meanwhile, have shown signs of promise under their new boss who has presided over two wins and a draw in his first three games at the helm. Saha, however, acknowledges an in-form Arsenal will represent a totally different proposition at the Emirates Stadium this evening. ‘The players need to actually use…

  Heavyweight legend Wladimir Klitschko is ready to come out of retirement to fight Tyson Fury in 2025 in one of the biggest rematches in boxing history. ‘Dr Steel Hammer’ and his brother Vitali dominated the sport for over a decade with Wladimir still holding the record for longest reign as heavyweight champion in history at 4,382 days. That era of dominance came to an end in 2015 with Fury beating Klitschko to take his world titles. Two years later, the Ukrainian lost to Anthony Joshua in an all-time classic at Wembley before retiring from the sport. Reports last week…

Ally McCoist believes Liverpool should make a move for West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen if Mohamed Salah leaves Anfield at the end of the season. Salah is set to enter the final six months of his contract with Liverpool and will leave the club on a free transfer next summer if he fails to agree a new deal. The Egypt international dropped another hint that this could be his last season at Liverpool following their 2-0 win over Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday. McCoist insists Liverpool should make it their ‘priority’ to keep Salah but feels Bowen should be the…

Dominic Solanke is not yet back to full fitness but will train ahead of Tottenham’s clash with Bournemouth on Thursday. Solanke was due to play against Fulham on Sunday but was a late withdrawal after falling ill in the hours before the match. The England international has made progress since then but Postecoglou admitted that the striker was not yet fully fit for the trip to Bournemouth where Solanke signed from in a £65million deal this summer. ‘Everyone from the weekend got through ok,’ the Spurs boss said in his pre-match press conference on Wednesday. ‘Archie got a knock but…

Ruben Amorim has warned Manchester United fans that ‘the storm will come’ and his team will ‘be found out in some games’ as he tries to implement his style of play. The new Red Devils manager has made an unbeaten start at the club, with two wins and a draw in his opening three matches. However, the draw came against Ipswich and the first victory was a fairly chaotic 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League. A 4-0 rout of Everton on Sunday was encouraging for United fans, but Amorim has warned them there is a lot of work…

Wales made history by reaching a major women’s tournament – Euro 2025 – for the first time as they stunned the Republic of Ireland in Dublin in front of a crowd of 25,832. After a first half in which Ireland came closest to breaking the deadlock through Denise O’Sullivan’s stunning effort that smashed the upright, Wales took the lead after the break as Hannah Cain converted from the spot after Anna Patten’s handball. An injury to Jess Fishlock looked like it could derail Wales’ dream, but substitute Carrie Jones scored their second within moments of her introduction after Ireland’s high…

An enormous midweek of Premier League football kicks off on Tuesday with four teams desperate to claw their way out of trouble at the wrong end of the table. Leicester entertain West Ham and Ipswich play host to Crystal Palace with just six points covering the four clubs – from West Ham in 14th to second-bottom Ipswich. The Foxes were truly awful in their 4-1 defeat at Brentford on Saturday in front of new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy who was watching, no doubt aghast, from the stands. West Ham then plunged their often sloppy defending to new depths when they…

Gary Neville believes Nicolas Jackson has changed Chelsea’s transfer plans following his impressive run of form. Jackson was heavily scrutinised during his first season at Stamford Bridge despite contributing 17 goals in all competitions. A number of pundits criticised Jackson’s somewhat erratic finishing and suggested Chelsea needed to sign a new striker to replace the Senegal striker. Neville was among those to urge Chelsea to dip into the market and use Jackson as a back-up striker, but says the 23-year-old’s form this season has changed his mind. Jackson scored his eighth Premier League goal of the season on Sunday to…

Alan Shearer singled out ‘absolutely fantastic’ Amad Diallo for praise after Manchester United thumped Everton to hand new boss Ruben Amorim his first Premier League victory. United could only draw 1-1 with newly-promoted Ipswich Town in Amorim’s first game in charge but put four past struggling Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday. Marcus Rashford opened the scoring on 34 minutes before Joshua Zirkzee doubled Manchester United’s advantage just before half-time. Rashford scored his third goal in two Premier League games under Amorim just after the break before Zirkzee added United’s fourth on the hour mark. Two of the goals came…
