In case you didn’t know… Manchester United needed a defender to bolster their squad for winning the Premier League this season. The Belgian defender was linked with the switch to United in the summer transfer window as he refused to sign a new deal with the London club. Toby had only a year left in the contract at the club which made the transfer to United seem possible. The reports even suggest that Alderweireld never thought of leaving the club anytime soon....

Last season saw two titanic matches between the two – Tottenham destroyed Liverpool 4-1 at Wembley in October 2017, scoring three goals in the first half, and in the return fixture at Anfield it looked like Mo Salah had earned all three points for the Reds before an injury-time penalty from Harry Kane rescued a point for Spurs. Hopefully this weekend will produce a match equally entertaining – and these 5 players could step up to decide the outcome....

Ivory Coast international midfielder Toure, 34, has two more matches before he calls time on his illustrious City career, having won three Premier League titles since arriving from Barcelona in 2010. City have celebrated three Premier League championships after Toure swapped Barcelona for Manchester, while United have won two in that period – though the Red Devils have not tasted silverware since Alex Ferguson’s final campaign in 2012-13. Asked if overhauling United was his biggest achievement as a City player, Toure – who wants to remain in England next season – replied: “To be honest, yes, that’s true....

Isner produced another outstanding exhibition of serving to become the oldest player to win a first Masters tournament, beating the fourth seed 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 6-4 in his homeland on Sunday. The 32-year-old completed an American double after Sloane Stephens took the women’s title on Saturday, seeing off Zverev in the final match at the famous Key Biscayne venue before the event relocates to the Hard Rock Stadium. Isner fired down 18 aces and did not allow Zverev a solitary break in a gripping battle, the 20-year-old German missing out on a third Masters title after suffering a first loss in four meetings with the 14th seed....

As a first, the transfer window closed before the velvet rope over the Premier League gets removed. The decision to close the window prior to the commencement of 2018/19 campaign was based on consensus, however not unanimous (only 15/20 ‘ayes’). There were vocal sceptics like Manchester United and their derby cousins City etc. Therefore an option to sell players off the clubs’ books is available until the end of August....

Oct 2, 2013, Chennai: Day one of the Raymond India International Regatta 2013 turned out to be a tough, long and hot day for both the race officials and the sailors.

It started at 7 knots and never went beyond 10 knots....

Tony died less than a week after arriving at the dusty camp outside Buckeye, Ariz. Autopsy results haven’t been released yet, but Tony’s fellow campers say that counselors beat him, then denied him water even though he was clearly dehydrated in the 114-degree heat. “He was hallucinating,” says a 13-year-old camper who was sitting beside Tony before he died. “He kept saying Indians were chasing him. He started eating handfuls of dirt, saying ’the ocean, the ocean’....

Even though Tretyakov resigned his midlevel post and asked for asylum last October, the timing of the revelation was all too appropriate. Russians’ irritation over their country’s demotion from superpower status is colliding with a new policy of tough love from the West. George W. Bush set the tone in pre-Inauguration newspaper interviews, reasserting his plans to develop a national missile defense (a project resolutely opposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin) and saying he was reluctant to lend Russia more money until the country cleaned up its act....

Mitchelton-Scott rider Impey summoned a late burst of energy to surge past Nicolas Roche before getting the better of a sprint finish tussle with Benoot. No South African had won a tour stage since Robert Hunter in 2007, but Impey joined a 15-man breakaway and then feigned fatigue on the final climb before clinching a dramatic win. Jan Tratnik (Bahrain-Merida), Oliver Naesen (AG2R La Mondiale) and Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo) followed Impey and Benoot (Lotto Soudal) over the line, while Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quick Step) came home in 35th....

THE ECONOMY “What a difference a year makes,” says a grinning John Snow. “I remember a year ago at this time when the talk was of deflation.
