Getty Images Arsenal's visit to Manchester City serves as the highlight of the FA Cup fourth round weekend but in truth it may serve as little more than an appetizer for their tussle at the top of the Premier League. The Gunners hold a five-point lead over Pep Guardiola's side, who they will face at the Emirates Stadium on Feb. 15, and a win in the cup could give them the belief to hold out at the top of the table. City have not beaten Arsenal, the most successful club in the competition's history, in the FA Cup since 1904 and were beaten 2-0 in the 2020 semifinal. However, that was a rare victory for Mikel Arteta over his former boss. Guardiola has not lost a Premier League meeting with Arsenal. Here is how you can watch the match and what you need to know: Viewing information Date: Friday, Jan. 27 | Time: 3 p.m. ET Location: Etihad Stadium -- Manchester, United Kingdom Live stream: ESPN+ Odds: Manchester City -138; Draw +275; Arsenal +290 (via Caesars … [Read more...] about Manchester City vs. Arsenal live stream: FA Cup prediction, TV channel, how to watch online, start time

India Brace For T20 Appetizer vs New Zealand Ahead Of Marquee Australia Test Series | Cricket News
India are set for a T20 appetizer ahead of their marquee Test series against Australia when they face the touring New Zealand in a three-match series beginning in Ranchi on Friday. With less than two weeks left for the Border Gavaskar Trophy matches against Australia that will determine India's World Test Championship Final fate, a T20 series in the midst of a packed ODI calendar ahead of the 50-over World Cup may seem purposeless. As a result, Hardik Pandya , who led a 2-1 series win over Sri Lanka earlier this month, is back leading the T20 side with some regulars and fringe players in the squad. While skipper Rohit Sharma , Virat Kohli , KL Rahul , Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami are being rested, the likes of Shubman Gill , Suryakumar Yadav , Ishan Kishan and Kuldeep Yadav will get an extended run before they assemble for Test series camp at Nagpur from February 2. There is also the welcome addition of attacking Mumbai opener Prithvi Shaw , who returns … [Read more...] about India Brace For T20 Appetizer vs New Zealand Ahead Of Marquee Australia Test Series | Cricket News

Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan is one of the most prominent players of Team India currently. Making his debut in 2021, the 24-year-old cricketer, has played 13 ODIs and scored a whopping total of 507 runs. In T20Is, Ishan has played 24 matches and scored 629 runs, laced with four half-centuries.

However, the Patna-born cricketer, who grew up in Jharkhand, stated that he has always idolized former India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Ahead of India's first T20I against New Zealand in Ranchi on Friday, the Hardik Pandya -led side met with former captain MS Dhoni , who resides in the Jharkhand capital. Dhoni visited the India dressing room on Thursday and interacted with the players ahead of the first T20 against New Zealand on Friday.

Will Prithvi Shaw Play In 1st T20I vs New Zealand? Hardik Pandya Says This | Cricket News
India skipper Hardik Pandya on Thursday said in-form opener Shubman Gill will start the T20 series against New Zealand ahead of Prithvi Shaw , who has made a comeback to the national team. Considering Gill's sensational run in ODIs, Hardik said his selection was a no-brainer. Gill has smashed three hundreds including a double ton in his last four innings. Ishan Kishan is expected to open alongside Gill. When asked, whether Prithvi Shaw will play the first T20I, Hardik said. "No sir. Shubman has done well and will start the series. The way he is batting and was already in the team," said Hardik ahead of the first T20I. Hardik bowled with the new ball in the T20Is against Sri Lanka before doing the same in the third ODI against New Zealand on Tuesday with Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj being rested from the game. Hardik said he likes bowling with the new ball. "I have always enjoyed bowling with the new ball. Since quite a number of years whenever I bowl in the nets, … [Read more...] about Will Prithvi Shaw Play In 1st T20I vs New Zealand? Hardik Pandya Says This | Cricket News
T20I timeout for India amid ODI drills and Test hysteria
NEW ZEALAND TOUR OF INDIA 2023 by Cricbuzz Staff • Last updated on Share Tweet Hardik Pandya will be leading India in the absence of several senior players © BCCI "Broadcaster ko bhi sahi cheez dikhana chahiye" (The broadcaster should show things with context). That sudden burst of Hindi in the middle of a largely English press conference summed up Rohit Sharma's gripe. Speaking in Indore after his 30th ODI century, Rohit was frustrated at the marketed narrative that he had just hit his 'first ODI hundred in three years', when the fact was that he had only played 17 ODIs since his last century. You could blame the pandemic, his unfortunate injuries or simply more 20-over tourneys in view of back-to-back T20 World Cups, but Rohit wasn't really without an ODI hundred for three years; the world watching him was. Which is why this three-match T20I series feels oddly placed nine months before an ODI World Cup. More … [Read more...] about T20I timeout for India amid ODI drills and Test hysteria

Man City vs Arsenal: Mikel Arteta finally threatens to match mentor and ‘idol’ Pep Guardiola
Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola have been friends for more than two decades, colleagues at Barcelona and City and now, for the first time, title rivals.

Chelsea Women vs Liverpool Women: WSL match abandoned after just six minutes due to frozen pitch
The decision to abandon the Women's Super League contest between Chelsea and Liverpool at Kingsmeadow after six minutes due to a frozen pitch on Sunday has been branded 'unprofessional' by Sky Sports pundit Sue Smith. Both Chelsea manager Emma Hayes and Liverpool counterpart Matt Beard were in agreement that the match should not have gone ahead, while Smith went further with her criticism. Speaking on Monday morning's Football Show on Sky Sports News , Smith said: " I can't actually believe what happened in terms of the game starting and then being stopped as the pitch was unplayable. "The staff, the managers, the players warming up could all see that it was frozen. And you have to think of player safety. "When the goalkeeper is asking for extra padding as when she's diving, the ground is rock hard, the players were slipping all over the place, for it to go ahead for six or seven minutes and then to cancel it, I'm concerned it was allowed to happen. … [Read more...] about Chelsea Women vs Liverpool Women: WSL match abandoned after just six minutes due to frozen pitch
NBA Rookie Rankings: Keegan Murray drops career-high vs. Thunder; Jeremy Sochan developing a 3-point shot
Getty Images We've heard about the "rookie wall" and how it can creep up on players midway through the season and their production, efficiency and impact just take a nosedive. But what about when the opposite is happening? Maybe we call it the "rookie ladder" or the "rookie Juggernaut," you know like the superhero from X-Men whose biggest scene was literally just him breaking through a bunch of walls. Maybe this visual will jog your memory: via Gfycat The name probably still needs to be workshopped, but the point I'm trying to make is that there's a slew of rookies right now who are breaking through that rookie wall and putting together some of their best performances. Keegan Murray is arguably the best example right now, a guy who is having the best month of his young career, while also having a positive impact on a winning team. Walker Kessler is another rookie that comes to mind who may not be putting up monster numbers but is starring in his role for the Jazz , … [Read more...] about NBA Rookie Rankings: Keegan Murray drops career-high vs. Thunder; Jeremy Sochan developing a 3-point shot
