      by

      ACTOR Charlie Cooper showed Newcastle-supporting pal Asim Chaudhry around his beloved Craven Cottage ahead of Fulham’s meeting with the Toon this weekend.This Country star Cooper, 35, gave Chabuddy G actor Chaudhry a behind-the-scenes tour which even included a glimpse at the Cottagers’ trophy cabinet.Fulham fan Charlie Cooper gave Newcastle-supporting pal Asim Chaudhry a tour of Craven CottageCredit: YouTubeThe pair were left stunned by Fulham’s trophy cabinetCredit: YouTubeWhile Fulham have earned plenty of promotions down the years, major silverware has largely eluded them.They finished as FA Cup runners-up in 1975, while they agonisingly lost the 2010 Europa League final to Atletico Madrid following an incredible run under Roy Hodgson.Taking pride of place in their cabinet is the Intertoto Cup, which they earned under Jean Tigana 22 years ago.While Cooper and Chaudhry both got to hold and kiss the actual Intertoto Cup trophy, the latter’s eyes had been drawn by two more unusual cups.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLLooking confused, he asked: “What’s that?”It was pointed out by their guide that Chaudhry was looking at The Algarve Trophy, to which Cooper cheekily responded: “Of course! How could I forget? I shed a tear when we won that.”Fulham earned the pre-season trophy last month, beating Benfica 1-0 courtesy of an Alex Iwobi goal.It wasn’t their first triumph in the Algarve Cup, having also beaten Nice to win it in 2022.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSIronically, Chaudhry’s beloved Newcastle have also won the pre-season competition, having beaten Braga 2-1 to take it in 2012.Chaudhry then put on an American accent as he pointed out the Dr Pepper Dallas Cup.Fans to finally get first look at Premier League club’s new VIP experience – with rooftop bar and SWIMMING POOLCooper joked: “You know you haven’t won many trophies when you have to get the Dallas Cup to fill it out.”His pal quipped that the “massive” trophy probably had Fulham chiefs fuming at “travel charges” on the way home due to its heft.The Dallas Cup is actually a prestigious youth team tournament featuring teams from all over the world.Fulham were one of four European teams to enter in 2013, alongside Manchester United, Eintracht Frankfurt and Danish side AaB Fodbold.In group play the West Londoners defeated Brazilians Coritiba and Americans LA Galaxy, before thrashing Frankfurt 5-0.They then beat Brazilians Fluminense 2-1 in the semis before overcoming Japanese outfit Kashiwa Reysol 5-1 in the final.Fulham’s Dallas Cup-winning Under-19 side featured several players who would go on to play for their first team – including Cauley Woodrow, Marek Rodak and Emerson Hyndman.Fulham proudly displayed their 2013 Dallas CupCredit: YouTube More

Won’t be many occasions where you get City at home around the 4/5 mark. Home advantage can count and started strongly.Over 8.5 corners: Last season saw nine and then 11 corners in the two games, despite any sort of decent action in front of goal with just one goal scored. Wingers from both sides can carry the can for this selection.Ilkay Gundogan to score: Not had his big moment yet since making a return and was left on the bench in midweek, though Kevin de Bruyne’s potential absence could see him back in here. His timely runs could be all the difference and stepped up so many times in first spell when City needed him.Gabriel to be carded: Will likely end up in tussle with Erling Haaland who has started on fire. This pick was a toss up between either centre back for this one but Saliba the better of the pair while Gabriel always seems to go searching for physical encounter.Back our 28/1 Bet BuilderRemember to gamble responsiblyA responsible gambler is someone who:Establishes time and monetary limits before playingOnly gambles with money they can afford to loseNever chase their lossesDoesn’t gamble if they’re upset, angry, or depressedGamcare – www.gamcare.org.ukGamble Aware – www.gambleaware.orgFind our detailed guide on responsible gambling practices here.For help with a gambling problem, call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 or go to www.gamstop.co.uk*New customers only.

      Man City vs Arsenal prediction: Free betting tips, odds and preview as title rivals meet in blockbuster clash

      by

      MANCHESTER CITY host Arsenal in a blockbuster Premier League showdown as the title rivals battle it out for early supremacy.It’s a huge game so early in the campaign, so SunSport betting experts have previewed the contest – and carefully selected our best bets, tips and exclusive sign-up bonuses for the Super Sunday encounter.Find The Sun’s betting publishing principles hereBest new sign-up offersSunSport exclusivesMan City vs Arsenal previewAttentions turn back to the Premier League after the reboot of the Champions League in midweek.In truth, it’s likely these two managers had more than eye on this one despite those Euro outings.What’s also true is neither will have been too happy – nor too concerned – with the performances as City and Arsenal fell to 0-0 draws with Inter and Atalanta, respectively.City were dominant in their clash and the main concern will be the first half knock for Kevin de Bruyne which puts his contribution here in some doubt.They’ve started the season perfectly though; scoring 11 goals and claiming maximum points in all four games – the only side in the division to do so.So they go into the game as favourites and rightly so.That’ll be in part due to Arsenal’s record at the Etihad being pretty rotten, having not won at the ground since Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud goals in 2015.Their lack of top class goal scorer is an issue. But they’re also struggling to create anything, highlighted by the injury to Martin Odegaard.They sat off Spurs for most of the game last week and controversially scored from a set-piece, before a flat attacking performance in Italy in midweek.As they did when last here in March, they look likely to sit in and concede the ball to City for the majority of this one.Man City vs Arsenal latest oddsManchester City at 4/5 with William Hill – CLAIM HEREOdds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.William Hill new customer offerWilliam Hill £60 welcome bonusVisit the William Hill website HERE*Register an account using the Promo Code: T60Once your account is registered, click ‘opt in’ on the ‘Vegas Promotion’ pageDeposit a minimum of £10 in your main account to receive a £20 Vegas Bonus for use on Selected GamesThen place a bet with a minimum stake of £10 at odds of 1/2 or greater on any football marketOnce that’s settled, your account will be credited with £40 in free betsWilliam Hill: Claim £60 welcome bonus – click here*Man City vs Arsenal betting tips and predictionsHaal of fameErling Haaland’s nine Premier League goals are more than any TEAM have in the top flight.That’s how good his start to the season has been and he can continue that here.Frustrated in midweek by the close attention paid by clever Inter defenders which prevented him adding to that tally but can resume scoring ways here.Erling Haaland to score 2+ goals at 5/1 with William Hill – CLAIM HEREYellow warningAnd if he does get the better of the two Arsenal centre backs – who were troubled by Dominic Solanke last week – then this has a decent chance too.Gabriel enjoys that physical match-up and not many in world football will provide a greater test than Haaland.
