LAS VEGAS: The Los Angeles Lakers, fueled by 30 points from ageless LeBron James, routed New Orleans 133-89 on Thursday to book a title showdown with upstarts Indiana in the inaugural NBA in-season tournament.
LONDON: Arsenal’s grip on the Premier League’s top spot will be under threat from their old boss Unai Emery when the leaders travel to surging Aston Villa on Saturday.
RIYADH: Boxing’s heavyweight division is set for a major reordering when the “Day of Reckoning” takes place in Riyadh on Dec. 23, with a number of top-10 fighters vying for No. 1 status.
Aston Villa started the season prioritising a top-four Premier League finish but inspiring performances under manager Unai Emery have catapulted them to third and within reach of title rivals and his former club Arsenal who they host on Saturday (Dec 9).
Quite a way to bring up the half century. Unai Emery’s 50th match in charge of Aston Villa, the club where he arrived as manager less than 14 months ago when they were 17th in the Premier League, ranks as his finest in terms of the prestige of the opponents.
Manchester City find themselves in untested waters after their winless Premier League run was extended to four matches with defeat at high-flying Aston Villa on Wednesday night.
