Chelsea and Manchester United have both put their faith in big-money strikers as they bid to win the Premier League title this season.
After Diego Costa fell out of Antonio Conte s plans, the champions paid Real Madrid a reported £70million to sign Alvaro Morata, while United parted with £75million to buy Romelu Lukaku from Everton.
With Lukaku having seemingly been Chelsea s first choice, how the two strikers adapt to leading the line for title contenders is one of the Premier League s most enticing subplots, while Wayne Rooney s return to Goodison Park is one for the romantics.

Champions League holders Barcelona are obviously the odds-on favourites to top Group E, but with Roma and Bayer Leverkusen also in the mix, chances are the Catalans will have to work hard in order to secure the top spot.

Difference Between Replica and Official Shirts
Some people believe that “replica” shirts refer to cheap knock-offs or fake shirts that only resemble the official football shirts sold by the clubs and national teams, but that is not really the case.

Since replica shirts are unlikely to be used in match conditions, these are usually characterised by looser fit and may lack a couple of performance enhancing features, but other than that are almost identical to shirts worn on match days.
Both official shirts and replica jerseys are produced by…
France s World Cup squad is calmer and more experienced than the one that won in Russia, according to Ousmane Dembele.
Didier Deschamps side will become the first team to retain the World Cup since Brazil in 1962 if they overcome Argentina in Sunday s final at Lusail Stadium.

It s not a dream yet. We re calmer and have more experience. We want to prepare well for this final, he said at a press conference on Friday.

You have ordered your wings. Your local joint is offering a curly fry special. You ask for extra bleu cheese.
You bought extra bags of chips on yesterday’s grocery run. Your guest list is a bit longer than you’d like, but those are the perils of hosting a Super Bowl party.
The unexpected guests fall into two camps.
One, he has gambled far too much on the Philadelphia Eagles winning outright but the Kansas City Chiefs covering a 1.5-point spread. That one-point middle is his sweet spot. A Kansas City missed PAT will make him happier than any appropriate analogy here would describe.
The other camp, they aren’t coming to your watch party to delve into Patrick Mahomes’s ankle health or the Super Bowl props market.
