Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea appears to have missed out on a place on the 30-man shortlist for the 2018 Ballon d Or.
The Spain international, who was named in the FIFA FIFPro World 11 last month, has not been included in the latest group of five nominees for France Football s individual prize.
The latest candidates, who are being revealed in alphabetical order, include Thibaut Courtois, 2017 winner Cristiano Ronaldo, Kevin De Bruyne, Roberto Firmino and Diego Godin.
Courtois is included after a season in which he won the FA Cup with Chelsea and came third at the World Cup with Belgium winning the Golden Glove before he moved to Real Madrid.
Ronaldo, now at Juventus, won the Champions League for the third season in a row with Madrid, while…
This hotly anticipated local derby sees Martin O Neill s Villa side look to continue their impressive form and push towards a top four finish, while Wolverhampton Wanderers look to gain valuable points in order to beat the drop.
Aston Villa seem to have recovered their form of recent weeks after a slight slump after Christmas. A lot of this is down to James Milner s scintilating form and the great pace they enjoy from Agbonlahor and Young. They have also been aided by a stable squad devoid of serious injuries. They currently lie seventh in the table but they are only three points off fourth placed Spurs with a game in hand. The race for fourth place this season has been closer than ever with four genuine contenders for the spot and Villa will know that they have their best chan…

Desperately seeking a crucial boost on Thursday night, Manchester United will travel over to Portugal when they meet Porto.
Porto
Starting with the hosts, while Porto might have been left frustrated last week as they opened their Europa League adventure with an action-packed 3-2 defeat away at Norwegian outfit Bodo-Glimt, the Dragons claimed an immediate response last weekend. Eventually storming their way to a routine 4-0 romp against Arouca, Vitor Bruno’s men have continued on a domestic romp since opening up the new campaign. Making a statement on September 21st as they secured a 3-0 victory away at Guimaraes, Porto have won six of their first seven Primeira Liga appearances. Smelling the chance to pick up a heavyweight European s…
Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann has been voted 18th in the final list for the 2019 Ballon d Or, a fall of 15 places from last year.
Griezmann finished behind only Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo 12 months ago after winning the World Cup with France and impressing for Atletico Madrid at club level.
However, an underwhelming end to his Atletico career and a tough start to life at Barcelona who he joined in a €120million deal in July has seen him drop down the list.
It marks the second time the 28-year-old has slipped from third to 18th, having done likewise in 2017.
The s delegation had just arrived with Lionel Messi, and

Joey Barton was stripped of the QPR captaincy on this day in 2012.
The midfielder was sent off during Manchester City’s dramatic final-day 3-2 win over QPR in May – which saw them win the title with Sergio Aguero’s last-gasp goal.
He was dismissed by referee Mike Dean after elbowing Carlos Tevez and, as he left the pitch, Barton kicked Sergio Aguero before aiming a headbutt at Vincent Kompany.
He was fined six weeks’ wages, on top of a £75,000 fine from the Football Association and was given a 12-match ban from the FA.
Barton said: “My behaviour was wrong and I accept the punishment that has been imposed upon me as a result. I apologise to the manager, my team-mates and of course the QPR fans for my actions. I also apologise to the Manchester C…

Those NFL schedule makers know what they’re doing.
Thanks to the non-conference carousel, Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season comes to a close with the Denver Broncos visiting the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football.
Of course, one of the biggest events of the offseason was Seattle trading franchise quarterback Russell Wilson to Denver, instantly making the Broncos a Super Bowl contender and setting up one of the most intriguing games on the season-opening slate.
Denver has drawn a ton of money and bet count heading into this contest, causing a significant adjustment in the spread from the opener in the spring. That movement likely isn’t done yet, as this Monday nighter will be a key game for bookies and bettors.

There’s no bet type I like more than a 6-point teaser in the NFL. Betting spreads alone is hard enough, so I love the extra breathing room we get by slapping an additional six points to the spread in the NFL odds.
I’ve developed a modest following for my teaser content, so naturally, I’ll be doing an article dedicated to my favorite bet type every single week.
Here’s how it works: I’ll rank my five favorite teaser legs of each week, with the top two being my official teaser bet for that week’s games. Pretty simply.
When making my selections, I follow basic teaser strategy of crossing key numbers — most notably three and seven, which are the most common margins of victory in the NFL. We also don’t tease thr…
One of the NFL’s most heated rivalries will get a new chapter this evening when the Baltimore Ravens host the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football. These bitter AFC North adversaries last met in Week 2, when Lamar Jackson threw two touchdown passes and racked up 54 yards on the ground to lead Baltimore to a gritty 27-24 victory on the road. Both teams have since rattled off impressive four-game winning streaks and will be eager to assert their dominance tonight at M&T Bank Stadium.
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game, did you know that you can also live stream Bengals vs. Ravens directly from legal sports betting sites?
