The colour of London is always a key point of interest for fans and players at the capital's clubs. Red washed over the city at the turn of the millennium as Arsene Wenger sparked a revolution from the marble halls of Highbury. Chelsea's Russian billions shifted the hue to blue for a decade but the Premier League's last six champions have hailed from the north of England. With Manchester City once again heavy favourites to retain their top-flight crown, the battle between London clubs takes on even greater importance - if you can't claim to be the best in the land, settling for top spot in the country's capital offers some consolation. Here's how the shade of London may look based on predictions from Opta's supercomputer - which runs 10,000 simulations of the fixture list, where each team's strength is calculated as a mix of a hierarchical Elo-based rating system and betting market odds. Supercomputer predicts which London team will finish highest in 20...

The deal comes after Pramac confirmed Zarco's departure over the Austrian Grand Prix weekend, with Rins' move announced during the British GP. Zarco has been a Ducati rider since 2020, when the Italian marque signed him to a deal to join the Avintia satellite squad. He will move to the Honda team next season , though the Frenchman's team-mate is yet to be confirmed. Speaking after the announcement, team boss Lucio Cecchinello said: "We are very excited to welcome Johann to the team with all the respective details and signatures now in place. "It is a return to the team after we had some brief time together in 2019, where we could already see his potential and work ethic. "There are still a lot of races and work to be done this season, but we are looking forward to the start of this new project in 2024." Zarco's stint at Ducati began after he elected to quit his KTM deal a year early during a difficult 2019 season...

The eight-time world champion has scored just five points in a woeful 2023 campaign, in which he has missed five grands prix due to various injury woes and crashed 14 times in eight rounds. While Marquez is contracted to Honda through to the end of 2024, the problems Honda is facing in MotoGP at present have led to speculation that he could quit – with KTM thought to have contacted LCR and Gresini about fielding RC16s in 2024 for Marquez and Moto2 hotshot Pedro Acosta. Marquez has so far refused to be drawn into the speculation on his future, and said on Friday at the British Grand Prix after ending practice down in 13th that his efforts to improve the bike together with Honda confirms his commitment to the marque. “Now, of course, if I’m here then my intention is yes [I will ride for Honda],” he said. “We are working for the future. In the Misano test we will try the 2024 bike and then we will see more, we will understand more where we are. “The g...

'Tis the time for goals, goals, and more goals! While pre-season has taken on greater significance in modern times for shaping a club's upcoming season, it remains a period when players build themselves up to peak fitness and manager's become attuned to optimal formulas. With rotation aplenty and tactical plans often experimental, the summer is not a time for rigid and robust defending. Goals are leaked, and there have been plenty to enjoy already this pre-season . Here are ten of the best from this summer so far. 1. Luka Romero vs Real Madrid an absolute GOLAZO from Luka Romero to put @acmilan up 2-0 before halftime 🚀 #championscollide pic.twitter.com/sIFacYXqmu — Soccer Champions Tour (@TheSCTour) July 24, 2023 Young Romero's career failed to lift off at Lazio, but life at Milan started with a bang for the crafty playmaker. The 18-year-old certainly isn't revered for his proficiency from distance, but his debut Milan goal was a thumping effort from just outside t...

We've reached the final week of the 2022-23 NBA regular season and there's still plenty to sort out. The Western Conference is still so crowded that, mathematically speaking, the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans could technically still land in eight different slots in the final standings. The Clippers, Warriors and Timberwolves aren't far behind at seven. There isn't a single team in either conference that has clinched a specific seed. In other words, there is plenty of relevant basketball left to be played over the next six days. So which games do you need to tune in for? Here are the 10 most important games of the final week of the season. 10. Celtics at 76ers, April 4 This game probably won't matter much in the standings. There are at least two games worth of separation between each of the top eight teams in the Eastern Conference as of this writing, so barring something surpri...

The Portland Trail Blazers plan to shut down star guard Damian Lillard for the remainder of the season , according to Chris Haynes. Lillard has been dealing with a calf injury that has kept him out of the team's last three Game s.  With Lillard out of the lineup, the Blazers have lost all three of those games to continue a late-season slide that has essentially eliminated them from play-in tournament contention. They have dropped nine of their last 10 games to fall to 32-43 on the season, and are now five games back of the Oklahoma City Thunder for the No. 10 spot in the Western Conference.  After playing just 29 Game s last season due to abdominal surgery, Lillard was again hampered by various injuries, most notably continuous calf problems. As a result, he was limited to 58 Game s this time around, but was fantastic when he did play. He averaged a career-high 32.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 7.3 assists, was n...

Prior to the 2022-23 NBA regular season, we published our CBS Sports Top 100 players list . We based that ranking on who we believed was in store for the best season. It was, in other words, a projection. Now that we're coming our of the All-Star break, we don't have to project anymore. We have evidence on which we can base an updated list. So that's what we did, only this time we limited it to the top 50 players.  To be clear, this is not a ranking of who we, as a staff, believe to be the best 50 players in the NBA overall. Rather, these are the 50 players, in order, that we believe are having the best 2022-23 season so far. Keep that distinction in mind as you scroll through.   And with that, let's get to the list. As always, we invite your feedback at @CBSSportsNBA.  50. Brandon Ingram, Pelicans (Preseason rank: 27) ...
