      The Brazilian has disappointed with with just five goals in 44 appearances since joining Tottenham from Everton and is currently out of action following a groin op.
      The pretty 20-year-old who is a law student at a private university in Sao Paulo, has already stayed at the footballer’s £4m house in North London.
      Speaking ahead of her visit, Araujo admitted her first stay proved a disaster when she left the bedroom door open and one of Richarlison’s dogs ended up using it as a toilet.
      The footballer owns a Siberian husky called Acerola and a chocolate Labrador called Layla he got as a puppy around three years ago while he was still at Everton.

      Araujo, a sports fanatic who practices Crossfit and plays handball, said of her gaffe: “When I arrived at Ric’s house he wasn’t there.
      “I slept the first night there without him because he was in another city playing.”
      In quotes published by Brazilian media overnight, she added: “The people who were there left the house and I left his bedroom door open because no-one told me I couldn’t.
      “When people started returning there was pee everywhere.

      “There was wee-wee on the bed, below the bed, on the floor.
      “Rick was going to arrive after me and I was worried he was going to think it was me.
      “I sent him a message and talked to him. He responded by saying: ‘Congratulations.’”
      Araujo responded with a heart emoticon after Richarlison, who has recently opened up on his mental health struggles and said he would seek professional help after a “turbulent time” off the pitch, posted a selfie of him in hospital following groin surgery on November 9.
      The Spurs striker posted his own heart emoji after his girlfriend treated her 116,000 Instagram followers to a photo of her in a white bikini recently before a mud facial.
      The couple were seen together for the first time in July when they holidayed with friends in Brazil.
      In April it was reported the footballer was facing an RSPCA investigation over claims his two dogs were a “noisy nuisance.”
      Neighbours claimed his dogs relentlessly barked and howled and escaped regularly.

      Eddie Hearn reveals new timeline for Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder ahead of blockbuster Saudi card

      by

      EDDIE HEARN is hoping a spring showdown between Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder will come to fruition in the next few weeks.The long-time rivals were on course for a December dust-up before Saudi boxing chiefs, bizarrely, withdrew their interest in hosting the fight.

      Both men, however, will be in action on a hastily put-together Christmas cracker of a card on December 23, in which they’ll take on Otto Wallin and Joseph Parker respectively.
      Fight fans around the world are hoping both men dispatch Wallin and Parker to preserve their long-overdue showdown, which Hearn hopes to put on in March.
      He told The MacLife: “We had six weeks, really, when we received a phone call from Saudi Arabia to say, ‘Do you want to fight on the card?
      “‘Otto Wallin is the opponent. And at the same time, we got offered fights for [Dmitry] Bivol and [Jai] Opetaia and AJ was up for it.

      “He wanted to fight three times this year. Wilder is on the card; victory for both and the fight is inevitable.
      “We got from a situation of it being pretty much agreed for January to not being agreed.
      “But now we fight in December and hopefully we make the fight for March.”
      Joshua and Wilder, 34 and 38 respectively, are both of Nigerian descent and proudly discuss that fact.

      And Hearn believes their grudge match would be the perfect fight to commemorate the 50th anniversary of The Rumble in the Jungle.
      The Matchroom Boxing chief told the BBC: “It’s something that would be iconic for the sport.
      “When we’re visiting these countries, there’s government funding to stage these events.
      “Sometimes that isn’t forthcoming in all areas but there have been discussions and I think it will happen in time.
      “We’ve had a couple of approaches. Obviously, Anthony Joshua – with his Nigerian descent – is always keen to visit and stage a major event there.”
      With that anniversary approaching, we’ve often talked about a big Anthony Joshua fight – even revisiting the famous scenes in Zaire of the Rumble in the Jungle.
      “Visually, it would be incredible and something Anthony would love to tick off the box before the end of his career.”
      Joshua will enter his Saudi showdown with Wallin – who took Tyson Fury the distance back in 2019 – on the back of consecutive wins over Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius.
      Wilder, meanwhile, faces former WBO heavyweight champ Parker on the back of a brutal one-punch KO of Helenius last October.

      It takes no time at all to enter your predictions and any football supporter worth their salt has just as much chance of winning as anyone else.
      Some of our previous winners this season landed amazing prizes having submitted their predictions in ten seconds through sheer gut instinct.
      In the spirit of transparency, here are our predictions for Matchweek 15’s fixtures…
      Manchester City v Liverpool
      A modern classicCredit: Dream Team
      The weekend’s main event gets us underway this Saturday lunchtime.
      Most read in Football
      Pep Guardiola’s side are currently top of the table, one point ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s mob, and most of the the recent meetings between these two enterprising sides have been thrilling affairs.
      The treble-winners won this same fixture 4-1 last season but fans of both sides would probably agree the Reds are more functional this this campaign.
      Saying that, City average a shade under two and a half goals per league game against Liverpool at home since the start of 2020.
      The hosts have kept a clean sheet in just one of their last six league games and they shipped four to Chelsea last time out so the likes of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz will feel confident of some success in the final third.
      Let’s try manifest a brilliant game to celebrate the end of the international break.
      Our Prediction: 3-2 to Man City
      Kieran Trippier made it clear to Newcastle fans that injuries were a factor at BournemouthCredit: Rex
      Newcastle v Chelsea
      Were it not for the clash at the Etihad, this could easily have been the standout fixture of the weekend.
      St James’ Park is a difficult place to go but the Magpies felt the impact of their injury list away to Bournemouth in their most recent encounter, a 2-0 defeat on the south coast saw them drop to seventh.
      Mauricio Pochettino’s men will have taken much heart from their games against Spurs and City – four points from those two match-ups represents something of a turning point.
      There’s nothing between these two in the form guide with both clubs having won two, drawn two and lost one in their last five.
      Injury updates from Eddie Howe’s press conference may change the outlook but for now…
      Our Prediction: 1-1 draw
      Arsenal’s defence has been solid this seasonCredit: Getty
      Brentford v Arsenal
      The Gunners have scored seven more goals than the Bees this season but the underlying numbers suggest the two attacking units are closer than some would expect.
      Thomas Frank’s side have actually generated more expected goals (xG) than Arsenal, meaning they’re marginally ahead from a creative perspective but notably less clinical when it comes to putting the ball in the net.
      There’s a big difference in defence though as Mikel Arteta’s side are statistically the best the top flight has to offer right now, having conceded ten goals from 9.2 expected goals allowed.
      Brentford’s slightly inefficient attack against the league’s tightness defence should favour the visitors but we still fancy the hosts to give their fans something to celebrate.
      All that being said, Arsenal are one point off top spot while Brentford are in the bottom half so we’re inclined to back Bukayo Saka and company to get the job done on the road.
      Our Prediction: 2-1 to Arsenal
      Spurs have several key absenteesCredit: Reuters
      Tottenham v Aston Villa
      Another fascinating match-up on paper.
      Only City have scored more goals than the Villains this season but Unai Emery’s men are nowhere near as potent away from home.
      Ange Postecoglou’s side are equally dynamic in attack at full capacity but, like Newcastle, they’re hindered by a host of absentees with James Maddison and Micky van de Ven being major losses.
      Spurs’ injuries and Villa’s away record suggest both sides may be short of their best on Sunday but this game still has all the makings of another end-to-end thriller.
      The prospect of Ollie Watkins and Moussa Diaby against a high defensive line is an enticing one but we could just as easily see Son Heung-min running in behind Ezri Konsa and Pau Torres.
      Our Prediction: 2-2 draw

      Everton will be highly motivated in front of their home fans on SundayCredit: Getty
      Everton v Manchester United
      The Toffees’ recent points deduction should give this clash a unique atmosphere.
      Sean Dyche will hope to make use of a siege mentality at Goodison Park to extend his side’s improved form – they’ve lost just one of their last six games in all competitions.
      Dominic Calvert-Lewin has rediscovered something close to his most effective form, backed by an energetic midfield that is capable of upsetting teams prone to capitulations, which has to include this current version of the Red Devils.
      Erik ten Hag’s have actually won four of their last five league games but unconvincing performances against Luton, Fulham and Sheffield United failed to inspire much confidence.
      Recent blow-ups against Copenhagen, Man City, a second-string Newcastle (Carabao Cup) and Galatasaray have put the Dutch tactician under pressure.
      The combination of a highly-motivated Everton at home to a United side with a vulnerable underbelly leads us to a semi-bold prediction.
      Our Prediction: 2-1 to Everton

      Brentford line up Argentina wonderkid as potential Ivan Toney replacement in transfer boost to Arsenal and Chelsea

      Bees chiefs were in South America last week and want to do a deal for the  prospect, who has four goals in seven games for Argentina’s young guns.
      It comes as Ivan Toney’s Brentford future remains up in the air – with SunSport revealing the striker is torn over a January move.
      The Brentford star will return to action after Christmas and is widely tipped to leave the West London club.
      Arsenal are thought to be at the front of the queue for his services with Chelsea also interested.

      But a source close to the player said Toney – banned for gambling offences – feels he has a “debt to repay” to Brenford and to the club’s manager Thomas Frank.
      It means any move could be held off until the summer.
      The source said: “A lot of people assume Ivan will be on his way after Christmas, but no deal has been done – and nothing has been decided.
      “Ivan is torn over his future. Brentford have stood by him and the club have been brilliant.

      “Part of him wants to help them by hitting the ground running straight away in January and scoring the goals which will ensure they stay in the Premier League.
      “There are a lot of clubs interested in Ivan but his focus, for now, is getting back on the pitch at Brentford and doing the business for his manager Thomas Frank, to whom he feels he has a big debt to repay. The same goes for the fans.
      “He’s determined to get back in the England squad and Ivan fully believes in himself to make the first squad once he’s back playing football.”

      Anthony Joshua’s staggering fight purse for double-header against Otto Wallin and Deontay Wilder revealed

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA is making over £50million for his next two fights, according to planned opponent Deontay Wilder.The 38-year-old Bronze Bomber and AJ, 34, came face-to-face for just the second time at Wednesday’s December 23 Saudi spectacular press conference.

      Sadly the former world champions are not fighting each other just in time for Christmas, six years after they should have held an undisputed decider when they shared all four major belts.
      But if the London 2012 legend beats Otto Wallin – and the Bronze Bomber beats Joseph Parker – the pair will meet in a 2024 shoot-out, in a deal Wilder reckons is worth over £100m between them.
      Looking back at the rivalry that started in 2018, he said: “I don’t think he is scared of me but the people around him are.
      “Maybe there is some fear in him but we are in a business where we all risk our lives.

      “The sport and the dangers get under your skin so I understand that side.
      “But everyone will get in the ring for the right price, especially when there is over $50m on the table.
      “Everything is going in the right direction now and the fight will happen. The time is finally here and people are going to get what they have wanted for years.”
      Back in 2018, Wilder and his no-nonsense team of Al Haymon and Shelly Finkel were at loggerheads with AJ’s team and especially promoter Eddie Hearn.

      The Americans insist Wilder was ducked and avoided and the 6ft 7in dreadlocked puncher explained his side of events once again, claiming AJ refused a one-off purse of around £40m for that fight, when both were at their sporting and commercial peaks.
      “I can’t regret something that didn’t happen and something I don’t have control of,” Wilder said about the missed opportunity to add AJ’’s old WBA, IBF and WBO belts to his former WBC crown.
      “It wasn’t in my control and if it was it would have happened six years ago. It would have happened when he asked for $50m. 
      “But it didn’t happen because they didn’t think we’d come up with the money.
      “It’s a sad reality but I don’t have any regrets at all because I know the truth will set you free. 
      “When I speak, I speak the truth. I have no reason to lie, I risk my life. When I speak it’s the truth, the whole truth so help me God.
      “All of these guys, promoters, managers, they don’t want me to say certain things because it exposes them.” More

      Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin confirmed on outrageous TRIPLE heavyweight card including Deontay Wilder and Joseph Parker

      by

      ANTHONY JOSHUA will top the bill of a Christmas cracker of short-notice Saudi fight card against Otto Wallin.Saudi boxing chiefs were set to host a historic undisputed heavyweight title fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk on December 23.

      But Team Fury pulled the plug on the dust-up following The Gypsy King’s lacklustre display in his controversial win over former UFC heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou last month.
      Saudi boxing chiefs spent a pretty penny reserving December 23 for the undisputed fight and remained hellbent on holding a big event on the date following Fury’s withdrawal.
      And they’ve pulled an absolute rabbit from the hat with just over five weeks to go until fight night.
      Former two-time unified heavyweight champion Joshua will bid to continue his career revival against Swedish slugger Wallin.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      Wallin, 32, took Fury all the way in their September 2019 showdown but suffered a unanimous decision defeat.
      Joshua and Wallin are no strangers to one another having sparred several times.

      The clash of former sparring partners is just the tip of the incredible short-notice iceberg of a card put on by the Saudis.
      Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will also be in action, making his return to the ring after 14 months on the sidelines.

      He will meet another former champion in Joseph Parker, who will look to pick up his second win in The Kingdom in as many months.
      Two more Brits will also be in action in the Riyadh Rumble.
      Former interim WBA heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois will look to bounce back from his August defeat to Usyk against Jarrell Miller.
      Miller’s clash with Triple D will be his first major fight since he tested positive for a cocktail of performance-enhancing drugs ahead of his cancelled 2019 fight with AJ.
      Lyndon Arthur will also be in action after landing an unlikely crack at light-heavyweight gold.
      ‘King’ Arthur will bid to pull off an unlikely upset against Russian wrecking machine Dmitry Bivol and bring the WBA’s 175lbs title back to the UK.
      Heavyweight prospects Makhmudov and Hrgovic will bid to continue their respective climbs up the ranks with a win on the blockbuster card.
      Saudi boxing chiefs, and indeed fight fans around the world, will be hoping Joshua and Wilder get through their respective bouts.
      The duo were set to throw down next month before their long-awaited showdown collapsed.

      But they’re undoubtedly trying to tee up a mouthwatering fight night face-off and multi-million-pound showdown by having them fight on the same card.
      The pair – who were on course for an undisputed showdown when they held all the heavyweight marbles five years ago – are set to go face-to-face with one another at a London press conference tonight.
      Joshua, 34, has seldom spoken about the prospect of finally getting his hands on the American
      Wilder, on the other hand, has been extremely vocal about wanting to knock out the Watford warrior.
      The Bronze Bomber told Blue Blood Sports TV: “I just don’t know what’s up with Joshua, bro.

      It’s the season of goodwill after all, so here are our predictions for the five games you have to predict this week.
      England v Malta – Friday November 17
      This one should be a formality and the tricky part is surely guessing how many England will score.
      The reverse fixture was a 4-0 win over in Malta, helping England to 19 goals in just the six games played in this qualification group.
      The seven goals scored against North Macedonia helped with that, and pointless Malta aren’t as much of a test.
      Superstar Jude Bellingham misses out but there’s now a huge competition for places, so even a change in team shouldn’t prevent goals going in.
      Our prediction: England 6 Malta 0
      Harry Kane celebrates with Alexander-Arnold in 4-0 win over Malta

      Netherlands v Ireland – Saturday November 18
      Netherlands are in a battle for second spot with Greece as the pair sit on the same points.
      Greece have played a game more, though, so a win here should just about wrap that up for the Dutch.
      They’ve only won two of their last six internationals at home which isn’t great form – particularly with the wins coming against Greece and Gibraltar.
      But the Irish are just desperate for qualification to be over, picking up just six points from their six games.
      Reverse game was narrow 2-1 Dutch win, this could be more.
      Our prediction: Netherland 3 Ireland 0
      Armenia v Wales – Saturday November 18
      Armenia have lost their last three games – with Wales winning their last three.
      Armenia picked up a shock 4-2 win when the sides last met earlier in the group and the Welsh must surely be out for revenge.
      Wales sit in second in the group – joint on 10 points with Croatia – and need a win here to maintain that.
      Armenia still have it all to play for too just three points behind, but could fall short here.
      Our prediction: Armenia 1 Wales 2
      Scotland v Norway – Sunday November 19
      This game will be party time for Scotland and their supporters, with the first home game since clinching qualification.
      Might still have top spot to fight for depending on results earlier in the week and a win might well be needed.

      Our prediction: North Macedonia 0 England 4
