Rotherham United will host West Bromwich Albion at the New York Stadium on Friday in another round of EFL Championship football. The home side have struggled for results on their return to the Championship and are now fighting for their survival with less than 10 games to play. They held on for a goalless draw against Hull City last time out and could have no complaints after failing to record a shot on target throughout the game. West Brom have had mixed results this season but remain in the race for the promotion playoffs. They played out a goalless draw…

Millwall host Luton Town at the Den in round 40 of the EFL Championship on Friday (April 7). The Hatters are unbeaten in four games against the hosts and will look to extend this fine run. Millwall failed to return to winning ways at the weekend, as they were held to a goalless draw with West Bromwich Albion. That followed a 1-0 home defeat against Huddersfield Town on March 18, which snapped their two-game winning streak. With 61 points from 39 games, the Lions are fifth in the Championship, level on points with sixth-placed Blackburn Rovers in the final playoff…
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner recently spoke about how Max Verstappen dominated the 2023 Australian GP despite it being a chaotic race with three red flags. He also praised the Dutchman for not wasting time and overtaking Lewis Hamilton with ease. Horner explained how the race panned out for Verstappen as he fought with both Mercedes drivers after the first start. Even though George Russell took the lead, Horner noted how patient Verstappen was in keeping the pace while still being clean enough. The Red Bull team boss said: “I think we pulled out a 10-second gap and then…
Chants about Liverpool fans being ‘victims’ are commonplace at football games and it is something fans have had to endure as a part of a regular matchday. It appears, though, that the abuse has finally begun to be acknowledged outside Liverpool FC. Over the space of four days, Man City and Chelsea supporters in their thousands chanted ‘murderers’, ‘always the victims’ and ‘sign on’, leading both clubs to issue statements. Chelsea‘s statement was 33 words in length and apologised to “anyone who has been offended.” Image credit : – steve The Premier League made comment after the Chelsea match, saying:…
After the worst first half of his 20-year career where he scored just three points, LeBron James exploded for 30 after the halftime break. Still, the four-time MVP couldn’t carry the LA Lakers to a much-needed win over their rival, the LA Clippers. Despite the gutsy effort on the second night of a back-to-back set, some fans still couldn’t resist taking shots at “King James:” Image credit : – basketball After playing 38 minutes in the Lakers’ 135-133 overtime win against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City, James didn’t have his legs early on. He was 1-6 from the…
LeBron James and the LA Lakers played their third game in four nights when they took on the LA Clippers. It showed in the way they opened the first quarter when they struggled on both ends of the floor. Image credit : – champions “King James” dropped 37 points against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night but mustered just three points in the first half against the Clippers.

Former Ferrari driver Jean Alesi supported the decisions race directors made during the 2023 F1 Australian GP. The race in Melbourne was anything but clean, with three red flags, several safety car periods, and eight cars retiring. While many fans debated whether certain red flags and penalties should have been given, Alesi fully supported the race directors and their decisions. Image credit : – sportskeeda Speaking to Corriere dello Sport, Alesi shared his opinion and stated that the stewards controlled the race perfectly. He explained how the Albert Park circuit is a dangerous track with higher chances of red flags.…
Former New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has been dealt a cruel blow as he has been ruled out of the ICC men’s ODI World Cup 2023 in India later this year after injuring his knee in the opening match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 while attempting a catch on the boundary for Gujarat Titans. Williamson will require surgery on his injured right knee, after scans on Tuesday confirmed he’d ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament while fielding for the Gujarat Titans. “The standard rehabilitation timelines mean that Williamson is now unlikely to be fit and available for selection at this…
The stakes have rarely been this high when the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers meet, with Wednesday night’s matchup between the teams a legitimate showdown as the regular season nears a close. Known as a rivalry in proximity only, especially from the Lakers’ side, Wednesday’s game is poised to be remembered regardless of who wins. Both teams enter 41-38 with three regular-season games remaining, although the Clippers technically are in sixth place in the Western Conference, which would give them a guaranteed spot in the first round of the playoffs.

The delay is in stark contrast to the 2019 event, when the dates and venues for the tournament in England and Wales were announced more than a year out in keeping with usual practice for major sporting events. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has previously co-hosted three ODI World Cups and organising the 10-team event in October-November should present no major difficulties for the world’s richest board. However, soured political relations between India and Pakistan have complicated matters and cricket finds itself caught in the geopolitical crossfire between the feuding neighbours, who play each other only…

Every year the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction gives hopes to the fans supporting their respective franchises as they eagerly wait for some stellar additions in the squad which can help them in the regular season. This year was no different as the mini-auction held in Kochi on Friday saw some players spark off a bidding war, with some sold for massive amount and other who did not find their place in any franchise. The Lucknow outfit made their second appearance in the auction this year after having relished a decent season in the previous edition of the lucrative tournament.…
Kolkata Knight Riders have won the Indian Premier League title twice, in 2012 and 2014. But since then, they couldn’t get their hands on the trophy. The last time they reached the IPL final was in 2021, when Eoin Morgan led them to the final of the tournament. But they lost to the Chennai Super Kings to end the season as runners-up. But the 2022 season was worse, as they couldn’t reach the playoffs either. KKR finished at 7th place on the table with only six games out of 14. The franchise retained its core players ahead of the auction…
Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s laid-back style of leadership, and the franchise’s penchant for banking almost exclusively on 30-year-old T20 veterans, is in stark contrast to the format’s characteristic. But Chennai have solid results to back this strategy – they have won the IPL four times and finished runners-up five times since the tournament started in 2008. Chennai are known to give the players they pick a long rope and expect them to do much of the problem solving on the pitch rather than in team meetings. That has made Chennai an attractive team for players who want to take their game…
