WSL Season Preview

As the Women's Super League kicks off this weekend, the familiar London rivalry takes on a new shape. Both Arsenal and Chelsea have remade their squads over the summer, but the Gunners may hold a slight edge in depth and tactical balance early on, per the changing of the guard among the capital's top sides. Meanwhile, fans can test their knowledge in a new player quiz featuring a mystery WSL star.

Super League & Racing

St Helens have missed the play-offs for the first time in club history, and veteran Jamie Jones-Buchanan says the roster needs a clear-out after a 2.4% drop in defensive efficiency that coach Eamon O’Carroll admitted was "unacceptable." Elsewhere, Heyzoom seeks redemption at Ascot on Saturday, where the flat card also features Newcastle and a £50,000 handicap prize.

Boxing & Tennis

Anthony Joshua's former trainer Robert McCracken pushed back on the Fury speculation, saying the former unified champ's decision is nobody's business but his own. At the US Open, the Williams sisters saw their doubles run end tragically, as Serena and Venus fell in three sets to Maya Joint and Chan Hao-Ching despite saving two match points. The loss marked a bittersweet farewell for the iconic duo.

Man United & Liverpool

Michael Carrick believes Manchester United's midfield is finally balanced, not bloated after a £150m summer, and he expects Kobbie Mainoo to start as the deepest pivot, creating a rotation dilemma for the two £40m signings. Across Manchester, Alexander Isak's 9/10 display on Friday night — two goals and an assist in 68 minutes — has pundits wondering if his breakout season has truly arrived, with ratings confirming he was Liverpool's best player.
