Manchester City v RB Leipzig – Preview, Lineups, Odds, Where To Watch

Manchester City will welcome RB Leipzig to the Etihad Stadium for the first time in their history on Wednesday, September 15 in the first of six UEFA Champions League group stage fixtures for the English champions.

The side will play their first fixture in the competition since the 1-0 loss to Chelsea in last season’s final in Lisbon.

The reigning English champions will look to go one step further in the competition and finally win the trophy that has eluded them since the City Football Group took over the club in 2008.

The Cityzens have won three on the bounce since their opening day loss to Tottenham Hotspur and head into their first European tie of the season in good form.

City will look to carry that from over and get their campaign for a European Cup off to a positive start.

Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is fit for the club while left-back Benjamin Mendy is currently suspended as he is subject to a police investigation.

£100m signing Jack Grealish will be expected to fill De Bruyne’s boots and be the playmaker for Pep Guardiola’s side.

The Manchester team, who are without a recognised striker in their squad, will have plenty of talent in attack to call upon.

Gabriel Jesus, Ferran Torres and Raheem Sterling are among the options the side can choose from.

Their opponents in the Group A clash, RB Leipzig, are coming into the fixture off the back of a strong defeat to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.

Defenders Marcel Halstenburg and Marcelo Saracchi are the only two players ruled out for the side through injury.

New signings Ilaix Moriba and Andre Silva are set to feature in the competition with the side for the first time.

Lineups

Man City (4-3-3): Ederson; Cancelo, Dias (C), Ake, Zinchenko; Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Grealish, Torres, Mahrez.

Subs: Carson, Slicker, Walker, Sterling, Gundogan, Jesus, Fernandinho, Foden, Palmer, Lavia.

RB Leipzig (4-2-3-1): Gulacsi; Mukiele, Klostermann, Orban, Angelino; Laimer, Adams; Olmo, Forsberg, Nkunku; Silva.

Subs: Martinez, Simakan, Haidara, Poulsen, Szoboszlai, Brobbey, Moriba, Gvardiol, Henrichs, Kampl.

Draw 9/2

Munster Rugby sign hooker Declan Moore

Munster Rugby have confirmed the signing of former Melbourne Rebels hooker Declan Moore who also qualifies for Ireland

The Reds have signed the 24-year-old for the 2021/2022 season in hopes of bulking up their squad.

The hooker was born in New Zealand but lived most of his life in Australia. He first made a name for himself while he was playing for Sydney University Rugby Club.

He signed for Melbourne Rebels in 2020 but failed to make an appearance in any competition for them. He will now compete with Niall Scannell, Kevin O’Byrne, and Diarmuid Barron for the number two shirt in Thomond Park.

The young forward can also qualify for Ireland but will need to prove himself before being handed the green shirt.

Munster are now preparing for their first competitive game of the season against Cell C Sharks. The game will kick off on Saturday, 25th September at home in Limerick for the United Rugby Championship.

The club has very few injury concerns to deal with as Ian Costello has almost a full squad to pick from. Chris Farrell is undergoing rehabilitation for an abdominal injury while RG Snyman and John Hodnett are both following modified training programs and progressing well.

Conor Murray and Tadgh Beirne have now rejoined the squad after taking a break due to being on the British and Irish Lions duty.

Fans are optimistic as they hope that this will be a prosperous year for them with a very talented squad.

 

Which are the most profitable slot games in history?

In the past, slot games have not produced millionaires. As time went on, however, that changed as mega payouts and progressive jackpots emerged, making many people rich, no matter how impossible this may seem to some. There are thousands of lucky slot games, but here we are talking about some of the most winning slots that history remembers. Also, if you want to be successful we suggest you play free slots uk before trying slot games with real money – this will help you get better and confident in your skills.

Mega Moolah Jackpot

The slot game Mega Moolah has no analogue in the payout of accumulated progressive jackpot. Experts claim that the jackpot in Vegas for this slot machine has reached an impressive 2 million pounds, which is still remembered in the casino community. 

It should be noted here that the slot machine also provides many bonus levels where additional prizes are won. According to experts, there are five jackpots that you can win, and if you calculate them, the amount will be really dizzying.

Monty Python`s Spamalot slot machine

Fans of the comedy series can now place bets on the slot game with a progressively accumulating jackpot. Interestingly, some casinos offer over $ 1 million in winnings, which in itself is proof of the great interest in the slot machine. This puts it in second place, after we have already mentioned the unique amounts of Mega Moolah.

The Avengers – a Marvel slot machine

If you ask the more familiar gamblers, they will surely tell you that the Marvel slot game – The Avengers can bring you solid winnings. Historically, there are players who have earned more than £ 200,000. Separately, there are bonuses that add even greater profits. If you like superheros, then this game will give you much fun, and also the chance to win a great amount of money. 

Halls of gods with 6 million euro progressive jackpot

In April 2013, a lucky winner from Sweden played the “Halls of Gods” slot and hit the accumulated progressive jackpot of 6.7 million euros. This achievement has not been repeated to this day, but the game will always be mentioned when it comes to paying large sums, from slot games in casinos around the world.

Man City UCL Run Was ‘Incredible Achievement’ – Guardiola

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has said that his side’s run to the final last season was an “incredible achievement” for the club.

City played in the final of Europe’s premier club competition for the first time in its history in May but failed to win the top prize, losing 1-0 to English rivals Chelsea.

However, Guardiola has praised the journey to the final, which consisted of 11 wins and a draw, as an achievement and not a failure.

The Manchester-based team won a group that consisted of Porto, Olympiacos and Marseille, and beat Borussia Monchengladbach, Borussia Dortmund and 2019/20 finalists Paris Saint-Germain on the road to the last fixture on the competition’s calendar.

“People can say Man City was a failure but it was an incredible achievement last season, playing really well in many of the games and losing well against a big contender,” Guardiola said.

“Every time I start this competition with drive. I’m incredibly happy here. Man City made a step forward last season, we improved a lot. We had 13 games and we won 11.

“We played incredibly well in Porto [in the group stage] when we drew and deserved to win. We lost the final.

“Now we start a new one and every team wants to win. We’re going to try but I won’t tell you which team is going to win because I don’t know it.”

Manchester City enter this year’s competition as joint-favourites in the eyes of the bookmakers alongside slain semi-finalists from last year, PSG, at 7/2.

City have yet to add a European trophy to the collection that only swells with each passing season.

They begin their quest for a first-ever piece of silverware on the European stage when they face German outfit RB Leipzig on Wednesday, September 15 at 8 pm.

Leeds Struijk given three-game ban after failed appeal

Leeds United defender Pascal Struijk has been given a three-game ban after an unsuccessful red card appeal this week

The contentious decision occurred in the Premier League match at home to Liverpool. The Whites’ center-half was given a red card after a tackle, consider by referee Craig Pawson to reckless and dangerous.

During the tackle, Struijk’s trailing leg landed on the back of Harvey Elliott’s foot. This accident resulted in the Liverpool teenager dislocating his ankle.

The injury caused much distress to the players on the pitch. To read the updates on Elliott’s injury, read here – Liverpool Midfielder Harvey Elliott Undergoes Successful Surgery

The tackle has drawn many similarities to Andre Gomes’ broken leg against Tottenham Hotspur. After an appeal, the player at fault, Heung-Min Son had his three-game ban uplifted.

Struijk’s challenge has caused some controversy as he attempted the tackle from a dangerous angle but also won the ball. The red card decision has split many of the neutral fans if it was correct or not.

Leeds United owner, Andrea Radrizzani, spoke to Sky Sports after the game about the red card:

“Obviously, the accident, it was hard for him and I wish the boy a full recovery. I hope we can get that soon, but this is part of football.

“It’s really difficult to take a red card like that and for me, it wouldn’t even be a yellow. But I feel sorry for the boy and the injury could be difficult for him.”

The Leeds defender will now miss their next three fixtures which include two Premier League matches against Newcastle and West Ham as well as an EFL Cup match against Fulham.

Now that the appeal has been rejected, Leeds will now have to find a new defender to partner captain, Liam Cooper in defense. Center backs Robin Koch and Diego Llorente are injured so it is expected that Luke Ayling will transfer to the middle.

This could prove to be a difficult few weeks for Marcelo Bielsa’s side as they try to push for top ten.

Melbourne Cup: More Than 150 Years of History

The Melbourne Cup (est. 1961) is one of the oldest and most prestigious horse races in the world. No other Australian horseracing event is as big or as popular as the Melbourne Cup, although it is only the second richest equine event in the country. With a history that spans over 160 years, the race is still being held at the Flemington Racecourse as a part of the whole Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.

While the racing rules have gone through many changes, the Melbourne Cup’s popularity has only soared higher with time. Even Aussies not interested in horseracing are well aware of what the “race that stops the nation” signifies in Australian history and culture. Stay with us as we take a quick look at some of the memorable events from the event’s past, as well as its present-day format.

Notable Change in 1972: The Track Length

Back when the 3pm race first started in 1861, it was a 2-mile race, which continued to be the norm for the next 111 years. until Australia shifted to the metric system. In 1972, the Melbourne Cup’s start-to-finish line was shortened by 18.69 meters. This new track now stretched on for 3,200m/3.2km, which comes to about 1.99 miles.

Even though it may not seem significant to an outsider, any horseracing fan will tell you that this did indeed have a significant impact on all past and future records. For example, Rain Lover’s record of 3:19.1 from 1968 had to be adjusted to 3:17.9 to keep it mathematically relevant, even though it can never be a practical appropriation.

The First Legend: Archer

Both the first and the second Melbourne Cup were won by the legendary stallion, Archer, from Sydney, although ridden by different jockeys. Archer’s first win (3.52.00) was shared by his jockey John Cutts and trainer Etienne de Mestre. Post the famous win, it seemed that placing a bet on Archer was a sure-fire way to win money, as the stallion went on to win the 1861 Melbourne Town Plate, and the 1862 AJC Queen’s Plate as well.

The stallion was in good form up until winning the 1862 AJC Queen Elizabeth Stakes in May, but Archer surprisingly fell short of his expected performance by only managing to secure a 3rd position at the 1862 Fifth Champion Sweepstakes in October. However, that seemed to have had no impact on the horse’s performance in November, when the brilliant John Cutts Dillon rode him to win their second, consecutive Melbourne Cup in an even shorter time of 3.47.00.

Impressive as the two consecutive wins of that calibre are even today, there are certain facts that make them even more astounding. For example, no horse in the following 159 years of the Melbourne Cup has yet managed to break Archer’s record of winning by eight lengths in a 20-horse race (1862). It took 72 years for another horse by the name of Peter Pan (1932 and 34) to match Archer’s two Melbourne Cup wins, and 109 years for Rain Lover to match his two consecutive wins.

History of the Melbourne “Cup”

The first winners of the Melbourne Cup (1861) received a handmade gold watch and 710 (£710) gold sovereigns. There were no second and third place prizes in the event at that time. In 1862, the winner’s prize money was increased to 810 (£810) gold sovereigns. A literal cup was added to the list of prizes for the first time during the 1865 race, and it kept changing every year till 1867. Between 1868 – 75, controversies led to cups being excluded from the Melbourne Cup’s prize menu once again.

The first proper Melbourne Cup was made by Edward Fischer in 1876, and unlike the previous silver bowls, which were made in England, this one was made in Australia. Several iterations were introduced in the following years and people saw everything from an embossed silver trophy shaped like a galloping horse (1899), to a 6-limbed (three legs and three arms) gold made rose bowl during that period. The final design which has not been changed since its original inception in 1916 is the James Steeth designed Melbourne Cup that we see being awarded today.

The first Tuesday of November isn’t too far away now, and the expected stakes are going to be huge in 2021. The trophy may not have been changed in the last hundred years, but the prize money has gone up to astronomical heights in comparison. The 2021 Melbourne Cup will be contested over a prize pool of AU$7.75 million!

Liverpool Win In Istanbul ‘Was An Unbelievable Game’ – Alisson

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has given his thoughts on that night in Istanbul when the Reds shocked the world with an improbable comeback against AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday, May 22, 2005.

Alisson and the rest of Jurgen Klopp’s men will face Milan on Wednesday night at Anfield for the first time, 16 years on from the club’s victory in the final.

Alisson watched the match that night and loved the Brazilians on Carlo Ancelotti’s Rossoneri side – Dida, Cafu and Kaka – and the comeback itself.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of the Anfield Group B opener, Alisson recalled: “Dida was really an influence for me – not only for me but for all the Brazilian goalkeepers.

“The success he had in Europe, in Italy, he was really a role model for all goalkeepers – not only for Brazilians.

“But that game was an unbelievable game. Kaka [was] playing as well. I had the luck to meet them personally, to play together with them, to learn from them personally.

“So, that game was something amazing to see. It’s something amazing to see even now, bringing back the memories.

“I think there are unbelievable memories for all LFC supporters. Those players are an inspiration for me and for all my teammates.”

AC Milan got their revenge on Rafa Benitez’s Merseyside team in the 2007 final when they came away 2-1 winners, winning their seventh European Cup.

The sides have not met since and have both gone through periods of regression and rebuilding in the fourteen years since.

Liverpool won the competition for the sixth time in their history in 2019 at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid after reaching the final the year previous in their first season competition in the tournament since 2014-15.

Milan last qualified for the competition in 2013 and will be making their first appearance in the Champions League since a 4-1 loss to Atletico Madrid at the Spanish side’s old home – the Vicente Calderon (which has since been replaced by the Wanda Metropolitano).

Liverpool will welcome fellow European giants Milan to Anfield at 8 pm on Wednesday, September 15.

Liverpool Midfielder Harvey Elliott Undergoes Successful Surgery

Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott has undergone successful surgery on his ankle after sustaining an injury in the club’s 3-0 win over Leeds United at Elland Road.

The 18-year-old suffered a dislocated ankle after he got caught underneath the shin of Leeds centre-back Pascal Struijk in the aftermath of a tackle.

Struijk saw red for the challenge but the Yorkshire club are expected to appeal it.

Elliott was in the starting eleven for the third straight game and had impressed in each match but will now spend a period on the sidelines.

The youngster had done well in pre-season and was proving his worth in front of the fans before the injury.

He was expected to make his UEFA Champions League debut against AC Milan at Anfield on Wednesday night.

Club doctor, Dr Jim Moxon – who, along with first-team physiotherapist Chris Morgan, was first on the pitch to treat the midfielder – explained: “Harvey sustained a fracture-dislocation of his left ankle during the game.

“We were able to reduce the dislocation immediately on the pitch and Harvey had surgery today to repair the fracture and ligaments damaged in the incident. The operation was a success so his comeback starts now.

“We won’t put pressure on him by setting a specific timeframe beyond being able to say with confidence we expect him to feature again later in the season following our rehab programme.”

Harvey Elliott shared a post on his Instagram which said: “Operation was a success! Thank you so much to everyone for your amazing support. The road to recovery starts now. At the end of the storm, there’s a golden sky.”

Elliott will now begin a rehabilitation programme with the Reds’ medical team and while he is expected to return to action later this season, no timescale is being placed upon his comeback.

Sligo Rovers Pile More Pressure On Dundalk With 2-1 Win

Sligo Rovers have piled more pressure on Dundalk in the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division after a 2-1 defeat to the title contenders gave Dundalk their fifth loss in their last six games.

The Lilywhites took the lead in the 18th minute when the side’s top scorer Patrick Hoban found the net.

However, the lead only lasted two minutes before Sligo were level with their opponents once more through Andre Wright.

The hosts added a second courtesy of Lewis Banks at the start of the second half and kept Dundalk at bay to continue the revival of their title chase.

The Bit O’Red had snapped an eight-game winless streak when they beat second-placed St Patrick’s Athletic 2-0 on Friday night.

Dundalk started the brightest of the two sides and Hoban came close before he notched the Louth side’s opener after shot by former Derry City loanee Will Patching came his way.

Poor defending by Sligo led to Hoban’s chance but the hosts came alive after conceding and responded instantly through Wright, who latched on to midfielder David Cawley’s cross to bring his side level – it was Wright’s first goal for the club.

Sligo settled after their equaliser and the sides went in level at half time.

It only took seven minutes for the fans at The Showgrounds to celebrate again after Greg Bolger’s delivery from a set-piece found Lewis Banks, who headed past Dundalk goalkeeper Alessio Abibi.

Sligo maintained control of their lead until the final whistle and now sit five points off second with a game-in-hand.

Dundalk, who also have a game-in-hand, failed to move off the relegation play-off spot and sit one point behind Waterford with a better goal difference.

Sligo Rovers travel to Tallaght Stadium to face league leaders Shamrock Rovers on Saturday, while Dundalk will play Finn Harps in the FAI Cup quarter-final before facing Sligo Rovers once again in their next league fixture.

Sligo Rovers (4-3-1-2): McGinty; Banks, Mahon, Buckley, McCourt; Cawley (Horgan 80), Bolger, McDonnell (Morahan 71); De Vries (Figueira 65); Wright, Kenny (Lorenzen 65).

Dundalk (4-4-1-1): Abibi; Jurkovskis, Boyle, Nattestad, Dumigan; Ben Amar (Animasahun 58), Stanton (Murray 78), Sloggett, Duffy; Patching; Hoban.

Referee: Ben Connolly.
