      West Ham vs Arsenal: Declan Rice faces former club as Hammers host Gunners in huge Carabao Cup clash – stream, TV, teams

      by

      ARSENAL face West Ham in the Carabao Cup as Declan Rice returns to his old stomping groundThe midfielder will make his first appearance at the London Stadium since making his £105million switch to the Emirates in the summer.

      Rice and the rest of the Arsenal team will be in a bouyant mood for the fourth-round cup fixture.
      The Gunners are coming off the back of the 5-0 mauling of Sheffield United on the weekend.
      Eddie Nketiah starred in the fixture as he smashed home the first Premier League hat-trick of his career.
      The result helped the North London side back to winning ways after their draw against Chelsea.
      Read more on Arsenal
      The Gunners managed to come back from two goals to earn a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge.
      Rice himself will be keen to continue his own fine form, having picked up an assist and a goal in his last two games.
      He will likely get a mixed reception from the West Ham faithful at the London Stadium.
      It is thought that many will applaud the former captain, who helped the club win its first trophy in 43 years.

      However, there are some sections of the home support that were unhappy to see him join a London rival in the summer.
      The West Ham fans could be in a less welcoming mood when Rice does appear after a frustrating week.
      The Hammers have lost three on the bounce in all competitions, with the most recent defeat coming to Everton on Sunday.
      The result against the Toffees came after the first European defeat in 17 matches at the hands of Olympiacos, which followed the 4-1 loss to Aston Villa.
      Manager David Moyes will be keen for a big win to lift the mood at the club before serious questions over him start to be asked.
      What is their form like?
      Arsenal come into the game having only lost one game in their last five outings.
      The defeat came in the Champions League to Ligue 1 side Lens in France.
      Since the loss, the Gunners have gone unbeaten and picked up impressive wins over Sevilla, the Blades and Manchester City.
      West Ham, however, have not won in four games, having only escaped defeat with a draw to Newcastle.
      The last time the Hammers finished a game ahead was in their 2-1 win over Freiburg in the Europa League.
      What is the team news?

      David Moyes will have a full-strength side ahead of the huge Carabao Cup clash as Emerson can return to the fold after his one-match suspension.
      But the Hammers manager is likely to rotate after witnessing his side lose to Everton at home.
      Moyes will have Lucas Paqueta and Edson Alvarez available as they are suspended from the next Premier League fixture after collecting their fifth yellow cards against Everton.
      Elsewhere, Mikel Arteta will continue without Gabriel Jesus (hamstring), Thomas Partey (muscle) and Jurrien Timber (knee).
      Who will be the star men?
      Declan Rice will have something to prove against West Ham
      Kudus will want to improve on his recent performance against Everton
      Arsenal’s star man and player to watch will undoubtedly be Declan Rice.
      It will be interesting to see how he reacts to playing against the club that helped forge him into the player he is today.
      Rice has shone so far this season, scoring two goals and picking up one assist.
      The midfielder has also helped improve the Gunners’ midfield with his driving dynamic runs.
      For West Ham, Moyes could use the cup game as another chance to hand Mohamed Kudus some minutes.
      The Ghanian made his first Premier League start against Everton, but failed to impact the game.
      The attacker has looked good for the most part since joining the Hammers, but a top outing against Arsenal could take him to a new level.
      What’s been said?
      West Ham star Aaron Cresswell is hopeful that a win against Arsenal can turn the club’s form around.
      He said: “We’ve been in spells like this in many seasons and we’ve just got to stick together and get through it.
      “One win changes everything again and we’ve got to stay positive, get back to the training ground, do what we do there and focus on the next game now.
      “We’ve had some tough games, Aston Villa away, Olympiacos away, they’re not easy games, and yes, we could have been better today.
      “We lacked that cutting edge in the final third, the goal we conceded was sloppy and like I said, we’ve got to get back to the training ground and put it right.”
      Bukayo Saka however is hoping the win over Sheffield United will give Arsenal something to build on.
      He said: “It’s looking good.
      “We need to continue to build on this.
      “Next week is going to be even harder, with two tough away games, but we’ll be ready and hopefully we can have a week like we just did.”
      Score prediction
      Arsenal win 3-1.

      Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou: UK start time, live stream, TV channel, ring-walks, undercard for huge fight THIS WEEKEND

      by

      TYSON FURY will return to the ring to face UFC legend Francis Ngannou in a historic crossover fight tomorrow night.The WBC champion and the MMA star have been going back and forth with one another on social media for the best part of two years.

      TYSON FURY VS FRANCIS NGANNOU: ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED AHEAD OF HUGE CROSSOVER CLASH
      Fury and Ngannou will now take to the ring to end their long-standing online feud.
      A shock showdown between the pair was mooted after Ngannou entered the ring and faced off with Fury following the Gypsy King’s knockout win against Dillian Whyte at Wembley back over a year ago.
      The fight went cold as Ngannou was still contracted to UFC and MMA mogul Dana White refused to entertain the bout.

      READ MORE IN BOXING
      But now the 37-year-old walked out on the UFC at the start of the year and instead signed for rivals The Professional Fighters League.
      The PFL gave Ngannou the green light to make his dream switch to boxing.
      And it paved the way for him to climb right to the top of the tree to challenge the lineal champion Fury.
      A win for Ngannou would be among the sport’s greatest shocks while Fury would suffer a disastrious defeat.
      Most read in Boxing
      After all, he’s already lined himself up a huge fight against Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight titles.
      So legacies and reputations are on the line this Saturday in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
      Who are their trainers?
      Fury linked up with Sugarhill Steward – nephew to the legendary Emanuel – before his 2020 rematch with Deontay Wilder.
      The pair have since won all four of their bouts together, including two wins over Wilder, with all of the victories coming by stoppage.
      Ngannou’s striking coach has long been former kickboxer Dewey Cooper, who will be in his corner against Fury.
      As will his head MMA trainer Eric Nicksick and boxing icon Mike Tyson, who has mentored Ngannou throughout his camp.

      What belts are on the line?
      As Ngannou is making his professional boxing debut – and therefore not ranked by the WBC – he cannot challenge for Fury’s belt.
      But the WBC are involved in the spectacle showdown and have introduced a “Riyadh Champion” belt.
      Fury’s brother Tommy won a similar “Diriyah Belt” in February following his win over Jake Paul.
      The Gypsy King is the lineal champion, so a win for Ngannou means he would be deemed the mythical champ.

      What happened in Fury’s last fight?
      Fury suffered frustration last year as he failed to get fights with Anthony Joshua or Usyk over the line.
      So he had to settle with an unwanted trilogy bout with Derek Chisora, who he had twice stopped in the past.
      The trilogy at Spurs’ 62,000-seater was as one-sided as it could be with Fury winning in ten rounds.
      It proved to be nothing more than a runout for Fury, who again set his sights on Usyk.

      What happened in Ngannou’s last fight?
      Ngannou left the UFC after a five-round decision win over Frenchman Ciryl Gane in California.
      And he was expected to meet Jon Jones in a heavyweight super-fight.
      But talks between Ngannou and the UFC broke down amid a disagreement in terms.
      So it allowed the Cameroonian to cross over to the boxing ring.

      How much will they make?
      Tyson and Francis Ngannou are reportedly set to receive a lucrative paycheck after their highly-anticipated fight.
      According to Sport Bible, Ngannou will earn a staggering £6million for this bout.
      That is 10 times more than what the 37-year-old made in his last UFC fight in 2022 before he quit Dana White’s promotion.
      Fury’s earnings haven’t been confirmed yet but it is safe to imagine he will pocket even more from the oil rich nation.
      The Mancunian made $5m (£4m) as a base purse for his third fight against Deontay Wilder two years ago.
      When is Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou?

      Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou will take place this weekend on Saturday, October 28.
      The bout will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
      Expect ring-walks to get going from around 10.45pm UK time.
      The fight will be a 10-round professional fight but Fury’s WBC belt will NOT be on the line.
      Exhibition rules will NOT be in place.

      What channel is Fury vs Ngannou on and can it be live streamed?

      Fury’s clash with Ngannou has been confirmed to be shown live on TNT Sports Box Office in the UK.
      TNT Sports have confirmed that the PPV price will cost fans £21.95 which is cheaper than Tommy Fury’s win against KSI.
      You can live stream the action from the TNT Sports Box Office app, which is available for download onto your mobile or tablet device.

      What did Alejandro Garnacho say about André Onana?
      Alejandro Garnacho is being spoken to by the FA over a deleted social media message congratulating his Manchester United team-mate Andre Onana, it’s understood.
      Onana secured United’s 1-0 victory over FC Copenhagen with a match-winning penalty save in stoppage-time in their Champions League group game on October 24, 2023.
      After their victory, Garnacho posted a snap of himself and other United players celebrating the keeper’s heroics on X, formerly Twitter — including two gorilla emojis.
      Despite Alejandro quickly deleting the post, the FA were made aware of it and have since liaised with the 19-year-old to investigate the matter.

      While there is no suggestion of racism behind the message, it is likely the winger will be hit with a suspension if the FA adopt the same approach they have in the past.
      The FA has previously punished footballers over controversial social media posts that were deemed offensive — even when the meaning was unintentional.
      But Onana has since taken to social media to defend his young teammate.
      Over two Instagram stories, he wrote: “People cannot choose what I should be offended by.

      “I know exactly what @garnacho7 meant: power and strength.
      “This matter should go no further.”
      Garnacho also shared Onana’s defence of him on his Instagram.
      Who is Alejandro Garnacho?
      Alejandro Garnacho Ferreyra was born on July 1, 2004, in Madrid, Spain.
      His father, Alex Garnacho, is Spanish, and his mother, Patricia Ferreyra Fernández, is Argentinian — meaning Alejandro is eligible to play international football for both Spain and Argentina.
      Having been involved in the youth setups at Getafe and Atlético Madrid, Garnacho joined the Manchester United Academy in 2020, with the Reds paying the Spanish side a reported fee of £420,000.
      Alejandro signed his first professional contract with United in July 2021, and has since worked his way through the ranks into the first team.
      Though he represented Spain at youth level, Garnacho has opted to play his international football for Argentina.
      In March 2022, he was called up to represent the South American country in their two World Cup qualifiers that month.
      The Argentina international is being tipped to become one of the top wingers in world football.
      Who is André Onana?
      André Onana was born on April 2, 1996, in Nkol Ngok, Cameroon.
      He joined the Barcelona La Masia youth system from the Samuel Eto’o Academy in Cameroon in 2010.
      The keeper signed for Ajax in 2015, making 214 appearances for the Dutch giants and winning three Eredivisie titles.
      In July 2022 André joined Inter Milan on a free transfer, winning the Coppa Italia, Supercoppa Italiana and reaching the Champions League final in his sole season at the club.
