SOCCER

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank insists he remains committed to turning their fortunes around, despite suffering another defeat last night.

A 2-1 loss to Newcastle leaves Spurs just five points above the Premier League's relegation zone - with their next game against leaders Arsenal on Sunday week.

Elsewhere last night, Benjamin Sesko's late equaliser earned Manchester United a 1-all draw with West Ham.

Jake O'Brien was sent off for Everton in their 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth, while Chelsea and Leeds played out a 2-all draw at Stamford Bridge.

 

Manchester City will look to trim Arsenal's lead at the top of the Premier League tonight.

Pep Guardiola's team will move to within three points of the summit if they beat Fulham at the Etihad Stadium, where kick-off is at half seven.

At the same time, Aston Villa will look to keep in touch with the leaders when they play Brighton.

It's also a big night in the relegation battle.

17th-placed Nottingham Forest welcome bottom side Wolves to the City Ground, while struggling Crystal Palace take on Burnley.

At 8:15pm, Liverpool make the trip to Sunderland.

 

Arsenal begin their knockout phase journey in the Women's Champions League later.

The holders are in Belgium for the first leg of their last 16 tie against Leuven, with kickoff at 5.45pm.


Former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has left his role as Marseille manager by mutual consent.

The pressure had been mounting after a 5-nil defeat to Paris Saint Germain at the weekend and an early Champions League exit in the first phase.

De Zerbi did guide Marseille to a second-placed finish in Ligue 1 last season, but he departs with the club sitting fourth, twelve points behind leaders PSG.

 

RACING

There's an eight-race card on the all-weather at Dundalk this afternoon.
