Prediction: Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest

It likely won’t be long before Sony announces the full lineup of games that will be joining the PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium catalog of PS4 and PS5 titles, but as tends to happen most months, that lineup seems to have been leaked ahead of time, once again courtesy of a Dealabs report by serial leaker billbil-kun.

As per the report, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, the remastered 2022 release of the acclaimed PSP action RPG, will be among the headlining additions that PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers can look forward to this month. It will also be joined by Gunfire Games’ Remnant 2, while the leaker also claimed there’s a good chance that its predecessor, Remnant: From the Ashes, will be added as well- t…

Until not too long ago, few could have predicted that Dead Rising would ever see the light of day again. The slapstick zombie-slaying franchise was nothing short of a juggernaut in its early years, but a steady decline in quality with later instalments led to a shelving of the series by Capcom that felt so thorough, so final, it was hard to imagine a future where the company would ever return to it. And yet, here we are- Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster brings the series legendary debut back to the limelight in enhanced and upgraded form, and it does so with blessedly impeccable results, grabbing hold of the Dead Rising franchise’s corpse and dragging it out from under the ground for a new chance at life.

Capcom has e…

Lionel Messi leaving Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain was a dream scenario, according to Argentina team-mate Leandro Paredes.

Messi was heavily linked with the French giants, as well as Premier League side Manchester City, having handed in a transfer request at Camp Nou last year.

Messi ended up staying to see out the final year of his deal and recently became a free agent, though there has been little talk of a move away from Barcelona amid reports he is on the verge of signing a five-year extension.

Paredes talked up the chances of his compatriot making the switch to PSG earlier this year, but he accepts the superstar forward is now set to stay in Spain.

Yes, there was a lot of talk at the club when it emerged that Leo could come to Paris, he told ESP…

Lyon coach Remi Garde paid tribute to amateurs Quevilly after his team won the Coupe de France final 1-0 on Saturday.

Striker Lisandro Lopez netted a 28th-minute winner at Stade de France, seeing Lyon to their first trophy since 2008.

Garde, whose team sit fourth in Ligue 1, praised the giant-killing third-tier side for their run and performance in the final.

It is a team who beat Angers, Rennes and Marseille, so they showed potential, Garde said.

I think we respected them all and took them seriously, and we did well because even If we had a lot of chances, in second half in particular they put us under pressure.

But I congratulate them for their great final in a good mood as well. Both teams played the game in the right spirit, that s what …

Cristiano Ronaldo was left out of Manchester United s matchday squad for Sunday s Premier League trip to Fulham after struggling with illness.

Ronaldo captained United in a 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa last week but was absent for Thursday s EFL Cup victory over the same opponents due to feeling unwell.

Erik ten Hag said it was possible Ronaldo would be involved in United s final pre-World Cup game at Craven Cottage, insisting the Portugal forward s absence was not influenced by the upcoming tournament in Qatar.

However, the 37-year-old was left out of United s squad, with Anthony Elanga joining Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial – who both scored in Thursday s 4-2 win over Villa – in their attack.

Ten Hag also opted to start left-back Tyrell Malacia i…

Abby Wambach has set her sights on World Cup glory with United States to crown a stunning career in women s football.

The decorated USA international has won two Olympic gold medals was named FIFA World Player of the Year in 2012 and is the highest goalscorer in all international football with 182 strikes in 242 caps.

However, World Cup success continues to elude her as she embarks on a fourth finals in Canada, and that is a record she is desperate to change.

We need to be a team that has no fear, Wambach said. We need to go out there and fly at other teams — that s a team that I think is unbeatable. 

If we don t that s a team that I don t know if it gets out of our group.

There is a sense that when nerves rise on the big stage people play a…

Hansi Flick was pleased to see Niclas Fullkrug score on his Germany debut, but admitted his side were far from their best despite the 1-0 win over Oman.

The visitors struggled in Muscat in their World Cup warm-up game, relying on substitute Fullkrug s 80th-minute strike to take victory in a match that never really got going.

Though Germany will not be the only side battling fatigue amid a mid-season tournament, their lacklustre performance against relative minnows perhaps highlighted the difficulties they could face at Qatar 2022, which begins on Sunday.

Flick did take time to praise Fullkrug, the Werder Bremen striker winning his first cap after firing 10 goals in 14 Bundesliga games this season, while outlining his concerns over their warm-up showing.

Verdict: Home win

It seems as though Chelsea are battling for second-place this year, with their fight to defend their title seemingly over after just 17 games. Manchester City are the best team in England right now, and they can claim to be one of the best in Europe too. 17 games, 16 wins and one draw along with 52 goals is a frightening record, and they have blown every other team out of the water this season, including the reigning champions. By contrast, Chelsea have won 11 games, drawn twice and lost four matches, scoring 31 goals along the way. The Blues downfall has been an inability to maintain a strong run of form, with losses adorning their record, while City are on a 15 game winning run. However, the Blues must focus u…
