As mentioned earlier, Spurs v Liverpool will kick off in 15 minutes.Back to today’s games then, here is Renée Slegers speaking to Sky Sports ahead of Arsenal’s task at Leicester:A couple of players not available. That’s why we have the squad we have. We have so much quality on the squad and we have a good squad to travel to Leicester.Leicester has done well in the league. They will try to make it really hard for us. We have to respect that, but we come here with a big belief in what we can do.Whenever they play and whenever we play that’s out of our control.

24 m. ago Wolves sack Pereira, buildup to Celtic and Rangers and two Premier League games – matchday live

⚽ News, previews and discussion before the day’s action⚽ Fixtures | Premier League table | Email matchday liveHannah Hampton was the focus of much of what came out of the first look at Earps’ autobiography but she responded well with a clean sheet in Chelsea’s 2-0 win over London City Lionesses. Afterwards Chelsea head coach Sonia Bompastor defended Hampton and criticised Earps for a lack of respect.“I think Hannah is fine,” Bompastor said. “It’s tough because Hannah is an athlete but also a person and it is never nice to hear these comments. The only thing I want to say about Hannah is that, since I joined Chelsea, she has grown so much. She’s such a professional athlete and also a good person. We have a really good relationship together and I want to show her my support in this situation.”The press conference where I’d called out Nike for failing to put on sale replica Lionesses goalkeeper shirts had exploded, triggering headlines and thought pieces and interview requests from n...

42 m. ago ‘It’s not just a book, it’s a window to my soul’: why we’re in love with literary angst

Why did an obscure Dostoevsky novella sell 100,000 copies in the UK last year? And why are TikTokers raving about a 1943 Turkish novel? The way young people are discovering books is changing – and their literary tastes reflect our timesThe sales patterns for classic novels are normally a fairly predictable business. “Every year it’s the same authors,” says Jessica Harrison, publishing director for Penguin Classics UK. “Austen is always at the very top, and then all the school ones: Orwell, An Inspector Calls, Of Mice and Men, Jane Eyre.”But last year it was different. Penguin’s bestselling classic by far was a little-known novella by Fyodor Dostoevsky. White Nights sold more than 100,000 copies in the UK in 2024. It is an angsty story of impossible love, run through with characteristic Dostoevskian gloom. A young man and woman meet on a bridge in St Petersburg on consecutive nights: his love for her is unrequited; she is despairing because the man she really love...
