Chelsea’s clash with Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on Sunday carries huge weight, especially for the visitors, whose Premier League title ambitions could hinge on the outcome.

The Blues return to league action after a confidence-boosting FA Cup performance, thrashing lower-league opposition to halt a worrying run of defeats. Despite that emphatic result, pressure still lingers around the squad, with inconsistency in the league leaving them just outside the Champions League qualification spots. Back-to-back losses without scoring have exposed their attacking struggles, making this fixture another stern test against elite opposition.

Stakes high for Pep and co.

For Manchester City, however, the stakes are even higher. Pep Guardiola’s side are building momentum at a crucial stage of the season, combining strong cup performances with renewed league form. Their recent dominant displays, including a statement win over Liverpool, underline their intent to push hard in the title race.

Although they currently trail league leaders Arsenal, City have a game in hand and a direct showdown with the Gunners looming. That makes this encounter in London a must-win fixture; dropping points here could severely dent their chances, while a victory would pile pressure on their rivals and keep the title race alive heading into the final stretch.

City’s remarkable consistency during this phase of the season further strengthens their case. Historically dominant in April, they have turned this period into a launching pad for title-winning runs. Extending that form against Chelsea would not only reinforce their credentials but also maintain their psychological edge in the race.

Adding to their confidence is a long unbeaten run against the Blues across competitions. While the reverse fixture ended in a draw, City have largely had the upper hand in recent meetings, and they will aim to assert that dominance again.

Chelsea Team News

There are no fresh developments on the injury front either, with Reece James (thigh), Levi Colwill (knee), Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (thigh), Filip Jorgensen (groin) and Trevoh Chalobah (ankle) all still sidelined. However, Benoit Badiashile could make his return after recovering from illness.

Given the limited options for rotation, Rosenior is unlikely to make significant changes to the side that comfortably defeated Port Vale, although Moises Caicedo and Marc Cucurella are expected to be recalled to the starting lineup.

Man City Team News

John Stones, who withdrew from the England squad due to a calf issue, could yet feature, as Pep Guardiola indicated that the defender might return to partial training ahead of the match, leaving his availability uncertain.

Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva is on the verge of a milestone. If he features at any point in Sunday’s contest, he will set a new record for the most Premier League appearances by a Portuguese player, reaching 297.

Chelsea vs Manchester City probable starting eleven:

Chelsea starting 11: Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Adarabioyo, Cucurella; Santos, Caicedo; Neto, Palmer, Estevao; Pedro

Man City starting 11: Donnarumma; Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, O’Reilly; Silva, Rodri; Semenyo, Cherki, Doku; Haaland

Two UFC fighters can thank President Donald Trump for getting onto the card for the White House event two months from now.

Trump was at UFC 327 in Miami on Saturday night as a special guest of UFC president Dana White, marking his first appearance at a pro sporting event since the beginning of the Iran war.

During the event, UFC added a bout between Derrick Lewis and Josh Hokit for UFC Freedom 250, and Dana White said the bout was prompted by Trump.

“About an hour ago, the president leans over to me and says, ‘Why is Derrick Lewis not on the White House card?’ and I said, ‘Hold on, Mr. President.’ I stepped away and called Derrick Lewis and said, ‘Derrick, the president just asked why you’re not on the card. Do you want to fight on the White House card?’ He said, ‘Of course,’” White told reporters.

Hokit was fresh off a victory against Curtis Blaydes on Saturday when he found out he’d be on the card.

TRUMP GREETED AT UFC 327 IN FIRST SPORTING EVENT APPEARANCE SINCE START OF IRAN WAR

Saturday’s event was Trump’s first appearance at a major sporting event since he attended the college football national championship in January, in which Indiana defeated Miami.

Since his second term began, Trump has attended several UFC events, last year’s Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, the NCAA wrestling championships, the FIFA Club World Cup final, the U.S. Open, a New York Yankees game, the Ryder Cup, and the Army-Navy game.

Mumbai Indians (MI) and defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will face off tonight, April 12, 2026, at the Wankhede Stadium for Match 20 of the IPL. A high-voltage IPL clash between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Wankhede is set to be headlined by the iconic rivalry between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

Former India left-arm pacer Irfan Pathan believes RCB may have momentum on their side heading into their IPL 2026 clash against Mumbai Indians, but the latter edge ahead in terms of overall personnel. Both teams are coming off defeats to Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati, raising questions ahead of this high-stakes encounter.

Pathan pointed out that while RCB started strongly at home, their form dipped once they hit the road.

“RCB are travelling now. When they played their first two games at home, they won comfortably, but the moment they went on the road, they lost in Guwahati against Rajasthan Royals, so, there will be a few questions in the camp. I feel the game might be decided by which team bowls better in the end overs, and the toss will be an important factor too. RCB have the form, but in a man-to-man comparison, I feel Mumbai are slightly ahead,” Pathan said on JioHotstar, as the league enters its ‘Rivalry Week’.

Death overs and toss could be decisive

Pathan emphasised that execution in the final overs could ultimately determine the outcome, especially in conditions where chasing teams often hold an advantage. While RCB’s recent performances give them confidence, he believes MI’s squad depth provides a slight advantage in a direct comparison.

MI vs RCB: Predicted Playing 11s

Mumbai Indians predicted XI: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (c), Naman Dhir, Mitchell Santner, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah

Impact Sub: Sherfane Rutherford

Royal Challengers Bengaluru predicted XI: Virat Kohli, Phil Salt/Jacob Bethell, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (c), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Abhinandan Singh, Josh Hazlewood

Impact Sub: Suyash Sharma

McIlroy, the defending champion, led by six after 36 holes but shot 73 on Friday. Young, who won the Players Championship last month, shot 65 on Friday.

“I’d like to think that I’ll play a little bit freer [Sunday] and I’ll play, you know, like I’ve already got a green jacket, which I do,” McIlroy said. “Sometimes I maybe just have to remind myself of that, but I think as well that the stakes in terms of, like, the pairing will be just a little bit easier. You know, the atmosphere out there will be a little bit easier. I’m not worried about that at all. I wish I was a few shots better off, but I’m comfortable. I played with Cam the first two days. Playing with him again [Sunday]. I think it’s a comfortable group for both of us.”

Sam Burns is alone at 10 under, Shane Lowry at nine under and Jason Day and Justin Rose both eight under. Finally, at seven under and four back is World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.

Star filly Tempted has teed up a possible The Everest repeat battle with Hong Kong sensation Ka Ying Rising courtesy of a breathtaking success in the Arrowfield 3YO Sprint at Randwick, where she lowered the class record.

The three-year-old stopped the clock at 1:08.00 over 1200m on Saturday, improving on Cosmic Force’s 1:08.14 from 2019 and trailing Yes Yes Yes’s track record by merely half a second.

Since Godolphin switched to a public trainer arrangement this season, Ciaron Maher has taken charge of Tempted from James Cummings, and he highlighted her relentless progress.

“It was pretty thrilling to watch. She’s just got a brilliant turn of foot, doesn’t she?” Maher said.

“She came into our stable in super order, and she just keeps going to another level each time she runs as she furnishes and develops.

“Her run in the Everest (1200m) last year was huge, her prep to break (through for) a Group One. I’m just so thrilled to be able to train for Godolphin, and thrilled for my team.”

Tempted was runner-up to Ka Ying Rising in The Everest (1200m) last spring, and Maher is open to testing her against the sprint king again.

Her next moves hinge on talks with Godolphin’s Andy Makiv and Jason Walsh, yet Maher suggested aiming for the Everest provides a solid framework.

“Most likely. She hasn’t had a taxing prep this time around, but I’ll sit down with Andy and Jason and the Godolphin team and they’re good discussions to have,” he said.

“She is going to be competitive in whatever you want to race her in.

“She keeps getting better each prep. Her manners keep improving each time she goes to the races. She’s going to be a lot of fun.”

As the $1.60 favourite, Tempted exploded past leader Devil Night ($14) at the 200m, prevailing by 1-1/4 lengths over Grafterburners ($8), who was three-quarters adrift.

Maher labelled Chad Schofield’s steer a “cool, calm, collected ride”, while the jockey noted Tempted’s versatility made it straightforward.

“She can be wherever you want her to be,” Schofield said.

“She can be forward, back, relax and then access that turn of foot. It’s really breathtaking and feels amazing to be on top of, and good to get the job done.”

Classique Legend secured the Arrowfield in 2019 and followed up with The Everest victory the next spring.

Derek Chisora has seemingly made a U-turn on his retirement promise, revealing his interest in one last fight before finally hanging up the gloves.

The 42-year-old insisted he would retire after reaching a total of 50 professional outings, which he managed to achieve against Deontay Wilder last week.

Their showdown delivered an action-packed but largely untidy spectacle, with neither veteran proving to be capable of competing at the top level.

Not only that, but the two heavyweights were guilty of multiple infringements, to which referee Mark Bates responded by deducting just one point from Wilder.

Nevertheless, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ edged a split decision through 12 rounds and, in turn, has kept himself in the shop window for another lucrative opportunity.

As for Chisora, it would appear that he, too, is sniffing around for at least one last dance, hoping to secure a rematch with his American counterpart.

Speaking with talkSPORT, the Londoner claimed this is the only fight for which he is willing to hang around, while also expressing his frustration with how their first encounter unfolded.

More specifically, Chisora believes the two knockdowns given against him were mightily unfair, but also feels he deserved to have his hand raised either way.

“I’m very upset with the scoring. The two knockdowns that [were] given were pushes.

“I’ll be honest with you: the whole thing was a shambles, on my side and his side as well. But I wanna get a rematch.”

Many would agree that referee Bates failed to take control of the fight, though there was perhaps less of an uproar about Wilder claiming a victory on points.

Either way, fight fans are hardly clamouring for a rematch between the pair, despite both of them engaging in an enthralling but technically-limited battle.

“I think the way wickets are nowadays, you know, the margin batting first or bowling first is not much, but you know, we’ve got a bowl first. I think for us it’s amazing. You know, every win is important and especially when you win like that, it shows the character of a team, you know. But we want to move on from it, you know, take one match at a time and just give our best. (Talks about head-to-head) See, definitely it’s a great boost for winning a match and coming into the next one. But at the same time, you know, you still have to give your best each and every match because wicket might play different, condition might be different. But at the same time, last match when we played, we talked about intent on the field. We always talk about that as a team and that was great to see when we were on the field, we were putting bodies on the line. We are playing with the same team,” said LSG skipper Rishabh Pant.
