It will be a baptism of fire for West Ham’s record signing Sebastien Haller on Saturday. The £45million striker is likely to make his debut against reigning Premier League champions Manchester City, LIVE on talkSPORT. Haller became the Hammers’ most expensive signing after joining from Eintracht Frankfurt last month. “What a s*** game to start with!” joked Haller. “I go there for a lot of money, now first game City!

The last time Liverpool started a league season by beating Norwich City at home, the Reds won the title. Click Here: large kanken backpack A 1-0 win at the start of the 1976-77 season proved to the catalyst for success as Liverpool beat Manchester City of all sides to lift the old First Division trophy.

Strikes from Divock Origi, Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and an own goal from Grant Hanley gave the Reds a comfortable victory against…

John McGinn says he laughed when he heard about rumours of a move to Manchester United. Having played a key role in Aston Villa’s promotion back to the Premier League last season, the midfielder was linked with a surprise switch to Old Trafford over the summer before committing his long-term future to the Midlands club. The Scotland international admits he was baffled at the United speculation, and says he has plenty of work still to do to prove he is good enough to mix it with the best. “I had a little chuckle at it to be honest. I’m sure a lot of people did,” said McGinn, who scored in…

Week 1 of the 2019 NFL preseason schedule gets underway Thursday, and one of the night’s highlights will be Chargers vs. Cardinals with the debut of No. 1 overall pick Kyler Murray. Los Angeles is coming off a 13-3 season, but fell short to the Patriots in the AFC divisional round. The Chargers are led by Anthony Lynn, who is going into his third season with LA and faces the task of corralling running back Melvin Gordon, who has requested a trade amid a contract holdout. Meanwhile, Arizona’s 2018 campaign was the exact opposite. The Cardinals went 3-13, leading them to fire coach Steve Wilks after only one year. The…

The 2019 NFC playoff field should look similar to the group the Rams navigated on their way to the Super Bowl last season. Five of the six teams are positioned to return to the postseason. Although there are reasons to like teams like Atlanta, Carolina, Minnesota, San Francisco and Seattle, there’s enough uncertainty with each to avoid a major playoff investment in any of them. That leads to Dallas, Green Bay and Chicago rounding out a tight top-heavy group that includes Los Angeles, New Orleans and Philadelphia. 2019 NFL PREDICTIONS:AFC East | AFC West | AFC North | AFC SouthNFC East | NFC West | NFC North | NFC South…

The Browns have not won their division since 1989. The AFC North was called the AFC Central then. The Oilers were in Houston, and in the division, and the Ravens did not exist. So, yeah, it’s been a long time. There is no question Cleveland has been the hype team of this offseason. Can the likes of Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham Jr. and Myles Garrett deliver on those lofty expectations in 2019, just two years removed from the Browns’ 0-16 season? Baltimore won the AFC North with a 10-6 record last season. The Steelers, who let Le’Veon Bell leave and traded Antonio Brown, are in for interesting season. Rookie coach…
