Rayan Ait-Nouri missed Wolves’ draw against Nottingham Forest with a calf injury (Reuters) Gary O’Neil has confirmed Rayan Ait-Nouri and Hwang Hee-chan are unlikely to start Wolves’ Premier League clash against Arsenal on Saturday, while Matheus Cunha, Pedro Neto, Nelson Semedo and Craig Dawson are all ruled out through injury. Arsenal are looking to get their Premier League title challenge back on track after losing 2-0 at home to Aston Villa last Sunday and travel to Molineux where they will face a Wolves side hit by multiple injury concerns. O’Neil was expecting Ait-Nouri to return from a calf problem last…

Arsenal began strongly after the boost of Liverpool’s shock 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace at Anfield and should have led through Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard. Watkins struck the post on the visitors’ only notable attack of the first half…

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin reiterated that quarterback Russell Wilson “has pole position” to be the team’s starting QB in 2024. And “when it’s time to compete, Justin Fields will be given an opportunity to show his capabilities,” Tomlin said. The head coach also said that Fields “oozes talent.” The Steelers are going to run with the more experienced 35-year-old Wilson over Fields to open the 2024 campaign after signing Wilson to a one-year deal this offseason. Wilson had a nice bounce-back campaign in 2023 with the Denver Broncos, throwing 26 touchdowns and only eight interceptions in 15 games,…

The Los Angeles Lakers head into the first round of the NBA Playoffs with a massive challenge ahead. Just 11 months after being swept by the Denver Nuggets in last year’s Western Conference Finals, the Lakers have the chance to end Denver’s title-defense season in the first round.

Fox Sports analyst Chris Broussard said that if the Los Angeles Lakers were to eliminate the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs, he would consider the Lakers as the favorites to win the title.

I thought about Nuggets in 6 — I’m going Nuggets in 5. Denver is better than they were last…
