Arsenal host Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night in the Champions League, and Arsene Wenger will be watching on eagle-eyed. The Gunners will be looking to secure a third consecutive victory in Europe’s elite competition, having beaten Athletic Club and Olympiacos in their first two matches of the League Phase. With games against Bayern Munich and Inter Milan to come, it’s important that the North Londoners get points on the board early. Mikel Arteta’s team strolled past Fulham on Saturday evening and will be hopeful that they can enjoy another serene victory when they entertain Diego Simeone’s side. Arsenal don’t have…

Mikel Arteta has Arsenal sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table, although there will come a time when he needs to be replaced. The Spaniard has overseen the Gunners’ rise from mid-table mediocrity to perennial title challengers over the last few years. While he’s yet to deliver a major honour to N5, the new campaign has started extremely promisingly, and few can raise serious question marks about what he’s done in his time in the Emirates dugout. That said, if silverware continues to be absent from Arsenal’s trophy cabinet over the next few years, then it won’t…

Reiss Nelson is still waiting for his Premier League debut at Brentford, with the on-loan winger easing back to fitness after a stop-start opening to the season. Seven weeks into his loan spell at Brentford, Reiss Nelson is still waiting for his first Premier League appearance, having only made the bench once so far. The Arsenal winger, who joined the Bees at the start of September in search of regular football, has so far played just 22 minutes of senior action, all of them in the League Cup. After missing the opening three games of the season with fitness problems…

Arsenal have been ranked the fifth most valuable football club in the world, according to the latest global valuation by Brand Finance, placing the North London side ahead of both Manchester United and Manchester City in overall enterprise value. The report, published this week and cited by Mundo Deportivo, places Real Madrid at the top of world football’s financial hierarchy, with a valuation of €6 billion (£5.06bn). Barcelona are second on €4.4 billion, followed by Liverpool (€4.26bn) and Bayern Munich (€4.2bn). Arsenal, valued at €4.028 billion (£3.4bn), complete the top five, narrowly ahead of Paris Saint-Germain (€4.003bn). It means Arsenal…

Soon, the LeBron James era will come to an end in Los Angeles. While he’s still on the roster, the franchise will get a glimpse of what the LeBron-less future holds as he’ll be sidelined into November with an injury. Coming into the preseason, the debate around the starting five largely came down to whether Rui Hachimura or Marcus Smart should be the starter around Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, Deandre Ayton and LeBron. However, LeBron’s injury has pretty solidly solidified Rui in the starting lineup while Smart’s own injury delayed the start of his preseason. Add in strong showings from…

Austin Reaves of the Los Angeles Lakers has blossomed into quite the player over the past few seasons. His rise to become a star in the league has made him both extremely popular and likable. Reaves shares a passion for both basketball and golf, something that he recently capitalized on due to his marketability in Los Angeles. On Monday, TravisMathew released a limited-edition collection in partnership with the Lakers and TravisMathew Brand Ambassador Austin Reaves. The Austin Reaves Collection reflects Austin’s passion for basketball and golf, blending performance and style in pieces designed to effortlessly move from course to courtside.…

The Los Angeles Lakers wrapped up their preseason schedule Friday evening — losing to the Sacramento Kings by a score of 117-116. Not that it matters all that much, but the Lakers finished the preseason slate with a 1-5 overall record. Luka Doncic scored 31 points in 32 minutes during this contest. Marcus Smart added 14 points off the bench, and a trio of starters (Deandre Ayton, Rui Hachimura, Gabe Vincent) all also ended the game in double-figures. The team shot 45.3 percent from the field and a blistering 39.5 percent from beyond the arc (on 43 attempts). Still, head…

The NBA’s 2025-26 season hasn’t even tipped off yet, but one thing is already clear: the Los Angeles Lakers are Luka Doncic’s team now, which puts LeBron James in a bad spot. In the latest Kia MVP Ladder, Doncic has emerged as one of the frontrunners to claim basketball’s most prestigious individual award – and noticeably, there’s no LeBron on the list. For the first time in over two decades, the King’s name is missing from MVP chatter, and instead, all eyes are on his new co-star-turned-centerpiece. The Slovenian All-Star, who’s entering his first full season with the Lakers, is…

Refereeing expert Luca Marelli agrees with Fiorentina protests that the AC Milan penalty incident was ‘outside the protocol’ of VAR, because it was not a ‘clear and obvious error.’ The moment proved decisive not just for the match, but also the entire Serie A table, as the 2-1 victory sent the Rossoneri into top spot. It was 1-1 at San Siro when Santiago Gimenez went down clutching his face after Fabiano Parisi put a hand on his shoulder, and while initially referee Livio Marinelli had waved play on, he was called back to the VAR monitor. When viewing it again,…

Over the next eight months, there are going to be a lot of rumours about goalkeepers, with Mike Maignan’s future at AC Milan looking clouded. The situation with Maignan is not getting any better. In fact, it is probably getting worse, whilst he progresses, which is certainly a conundrum. Milan want the extension now – one that they didn’t want a few months ago – and he no longer does, or at least not yet. Until there is a definitive no from either party, an extension could happen, and the Rossoneri are waiting to play certain cards. Ultimately, just because…
