Ivory Coast international Bailly joined United in 2016 from Villarreal and showed promise in his first season, but he has amassed only 25 top-flight appearances in the two campaigns since. The 25-year-old has been dogged by a host of injuries during his time at United, with persistent shoulder, knee and groin problems limiting his impact. After managing just eight Premier League starts last term, Bailly is no doubt hoping to play a bigger role in 2019-20, but 10 minutes after his half-time introduction against Spurs on Thursday he was carried off....

Heading into the 2022 season, Mayfield and Darnold are competing for the starting quarterback job with the Panthers.

New Zealand added 45 runs to their overnight total of 229-7, BJ Watling making an unbeaten 77 off 250 deliveries, with Bilal Asif (5-65) sweeping up the tail to claim his second Test five-for before lunch in Abu Dhabi. Pakistan wobbled early in their reply with Trent Boult (2-39) dismissing opening duo Mohammad Hafeez (0) and Imam-ul-Haq (9). Azhar proved a much tougher nut to crack, though, and a valuable 68-run partnership with Haris Sohail (34) was followed up by an unbeaten stand of 54 with Asad Shafiq (26 not out)....

Antonio Conte’s side put in an impressive performance in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge and took the lead just after the hour through Willian, who had already struck both posts in the first half. But with 15 minutes remaining the LaLiga leaders took advantage of Andreas Christensen’s wayward pass, Andres Iniesta getting in ahead of Azpilicueta to tee up Lionel Messi to sweep home in clinical fashion. Conte felt Chelsea were close to the perfect game against Barca, and Azpilicueta is hoping for a greater deal of fortune in the return at Camp Nou in three weeks....

These days, the most surefire way to determine if someone is a liar is if they say they haven’t heard “Baby Shark.” Even for those without children, this song is not actively sought out, it is imposed. It’s impossible to avoid. It’s like that song a radio station randomly decides to play over and over for no obvious reason, except the radio station is Earth. So it’s no real surprise that its view count is nearly as high as the entire planet’s population....

The teaser for the five maps for the third expansion of Back 4 Blood comes straight from the second expansion, Children of the Worm. The DLC was met with a mixed reception, as the player base seems split on whether they enjoyed it or not. However, the game in its current state, compared to when it first launched, is in a much better place due to the developers listening to what the fans want to see in it, and the player base is enjoying the game a lot more now compared to when it released with a less-than-satisfactory launch of Back 4 Blood....
