Can Manchester United make the top four? Anything’s possible but it no longer seems likely. David Moyes’ team have slipped down to become something of a midtable outfit this season, well adrift of the Champions League and with little to play for realistically speaking. The sad truth is that United’s top four destiny no longer lies in their own hands. For once, the season’s title race is proving to be a genuine four-team affair, with Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool all still very much in the running....

The Main Elements of an Advertisement ArtworkPhotographs, drawings, and graphic embellishments are a key visual element of many types of ads. Some ads may have only a single visual while others might have several pictures. Even text-only ads might have some graphics in the form of decorative bullets or borders. When included with visuals the caption is one of the first things most readers look at after the visual. It’s not in all ads but it is an option that gives the advertiser one more chance to grab the reader....

But was he guilty? In a riveting PBS “Frontline” documentary airing Tuesday and Wednesday, three jurors admit that they voted to convict Kelly, 45, even though they had strenuous doubts. Confused, outnumbered and exhausted, they said they collapsed under the force of the majority. “Innocence Lost: The Verdict,” is a follow-up visit to ‘Edenton by veteran producer Ofra Bikel, who, over the last three years, became as obsessed with the case as the parents and prosecutors....

The Germany international has been forced to undergo surgery on a fractured left metatarsal and is expected to be out of action until January. Bayern 11/1 to lose 3-1 to PSG It is the same foot Neuer broke during the Champions League quarter-final second-leg loss to Real Madrid that kept him sidelined for the final few weeks of last season. President Uli Hoeness is reportedly unhappy with Bayern’s medical staff amid suggestions they declared Neuer ready to return to action too quickly, but Ancelotti insists Mauri is not at fault....

Bayern won their fifth successive Bundesliga title in Ancelotti’s first campaign in charge last term but exited the Champions League in the quarter-finals, losing 6-3 on aggregate to eventual winners Real Madrid. Bayern 11/2 to win the Champions League The Italian has overseen an unconvincing 2017-18 pre-season, Bayern needing penalties to defeat Borussia Dortmund earlier this month following a 2-2 draw in the DFL-Supercup. Although they dispatched third-tier side Chemnitzer 5-0 in the DFB-Pokal, Kahn knows Ancelotti still has plenty to prove in Germany, despite his impressive record with the likes of AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Madrid....

Scientists who are tracking atomic time say the days on Earth are getting longer by milliseconds all the time -350 million years ago, each day lasted only 22 hours. This is not necessarily good news, even for worn-out, two-career couples. It’s due to the fact that the moon and Earth exert subtle gravitational effects on each other. The moon is gradually moving away from us, and its orbit is slowing, which is slowing Earth’s rotation in turn....

Former team-mates Rio Ferdinand and Anders Lindegaard, naturally excited at the meeting between the two clubs, spiced the clash up on social media up before the encounter. The United goalkeeper started off proceedings with a funny Instagram picture with an epic hashtag on Twitter. The former United defender visibly embarrassed tried to take a cheap shot at the shot-stopper not being a regular starter Lindegaard ended the contest digging an old video where once most expensive defender in the world couldn’t keep himself in his seat...

The prolific fast bowler took 9-43 in the second-Test thrashing of India at Lord’s, with Anderson having now taken 553 Test wickets. It is a testament to Anderson’s enduring quality that he is still able to produce such stunning displays, having turned 36 last month. And Bayliss does not envisage having to replace the Lancastrian any time soon. “As long as he keeps his body fit there’s no reason why he can’t go on for three or four years,” he said....

In the third quarter of Monday night’s contest between the Pistons and Clippers, Drummond showed off his ballhandling ability by hitting the All-Star point guard with a quick behind-the-back move.

The Canadian secured a 14th straight win on the WTA Tour as she defeated Sasnovich 6-2 2-6 6-1 at the China Open. Andreescu proved her mental strength time and again en route to her maiden grand slam success and was required to do more of the same in Beijing, seeing a straightforward opener give way to a gruelling second set. The fifth seed recovered her composure and raced to victory in the third, setting up a clash with Elise Mertens, who gave her a real test in the Flushing Meadows quarter-finals....

But still, a three-year contract worth $5.75 million annually, which is what Markov and Montreal reportedlt agreed to on Monday, is not without risk. Markov is 35 years old, so he’s getting his money — and counting against Montreal’s salary cap — no matter what happens. Work in his injury history, largely regarding his knees, and the natural aging process, and you’re in dicey territory. Markov playing the last year of that deal after, say, some more knee problems would be a bad look....

Rodgers’ foot was all over social media on Wednesday, and the Packers star decided to make the new meme part of his Twitter profile. But why are there images of Rodgers’ foot circulating the internet, you ask? On Tuesday, Rodgers joined “The Pat McAfee Show” to discuss his COVID-19 symptoms after he contracted the virus on Nov. 3. It was discovered after he tested positive for COVID-19 that he wasn’t vaccinated, and the nine-time Pro Bowler has found his name in the headlines ever since....

Aaron Rodgers’ 61-yard Hail Mary pass to Richard Rodgers with no time remaining gave the Packers a 27-23 win over the Lions at Ford Field. MORE: Top photos from Week 13 | Video of the Packers-Lions questionable facemask call The Lions led 20-0 early in the third quarter, but a pair of fumbles quickly turned the game around. First there was a fumble by Packers running back James Starks, which Randall Cobb fell on in the end zone....

Nope. New general manager A.J. Preller has totally remade his lineup, while sacrificing neither arms for the top of the rotation nor the best prospects from the Padres’ farm system — catcher Austin Hedges, right-hander Matt Wisler and outfielder Hunter Renfroe. With Matt Kemp and Justin Upton anchoring the batting order, supplemented by acquisitions Will Middlebrooks, Wil Myers and Derek Norris, plus holdover Jedd Gyorko, the Padres should have a formidable attack to go with their strong pitching....

Pinch hitter Tommy Medica singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and the Padres beat the Mariners 2-1 in their first home game since Gwynn died of cancer Monday. "It was a little different today," said manager Bud Black, who played with Gwynn for one season at San Diego State. "Even when the game was over. I think everybody handles what has happened with Tony a little bit differently....

Those who watched the NLDS wins for the Padres and Phillies saw Petco Park and Citizens Bank Park absolutely rocking, as both teams captured upset wins over the Dodgers and Braves in just four games. Now they move out of the divisional series – and their divisions – to play in an NL West vs. NL East showdown. The Padres are riding the high of upending the 111-win Dodgers behind timely hitting and excellent situational pitching....

The ‘Ronda Rousey’ effect snowballing into the WWE Divas lockerroom Paige is a huge fan of Rousey as is evident by the way she credits her for the sweeping change in the world of combat sports for women. “That’s the way the world’s going right now, with the whole Ronda Rousey phenomenon – and I’m proud of her for saying what she did to Floyd Mayweather. I was, like: ‘Good one!...

Woods’ life fell apart in 2009 when he was exposed as a cheater. This eventually led to Woods splitting up with his then-wife, Elin Nordegren. The cheating scandal and golfer’s divorce was one of the most media-covered infamous events in sports. His cheating scandal, however, was defended by Paige Spiranac. The golfer-turned-influencer and Tiger Woods’ fan went to lengths to state that Woods didn’t kill anyone to be persecuted the way the public did....
