Craig Shakespeare’s side have picked up just one win in the league so far this season, though a difficult run of fixtures has been partly to blame. The Baggies, meanwhile, have endured an inconsistent campaign thus far and can move into the top half of the table with victory at the King Power Stadium. TV CHANNEL & LIVE STREAM In the UK, the match will be available to watch live on television on the Sky Sports Premier League channel and Sky Sports Main Event, as well as being available to stream live using Sky Go....

The East Midlands club have not won in the league since a 2-0 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion in August, but Shakespeare has persisted with the side’s tried-and-tested 4-4-2 line-up. The Englishman said he is not adverse to change but the success of a different system would lie in how his players understand their responsibilities and carry them out on the pitch. “I think you always have to be adaptable,” Shakespeare told the Leicester Mercury (www....

Last season’s champions sacked manager Claudio Ranieri in February as they languished in 17th place and a point above the relegation zone but have since regained momentum under interim manager Craig Shakespeare. Leicester are currently 11th but could finish as high as eighth. “We just need to try and pick up as many points as possible. If we get those six points then we’re guaranteed a top-half finish,” Vardy told the club’s official website....

In a viral post from the couple, shared to both parties’ Instagram accounts, Guaynaa gets down on one knee while holding Pons’ hand. She has her other hand over her mouth as if in shock—but in the subsequent photos, it turns out Guaynaa just had to tie his shoe. In the final shot, he kisses an unamused Pons on the cheek. The couple first announced that they were dating in December 2020—also via Instagram....

When the Tusken Raiders first appeared in the season 1 episode The Gunslinger, many fans were surprised to see them, first of all, not bludgeoning anyone. Their previous appearances in the series had made them out to be a vicious race of desert dwellers who attacked any outsiders on sight, so this was an unexpected but welcome shift in their portrayal. But aside from that, they were also shown to converse with a sign-based language on top of their typical grunting vocal styles, which Din Djarin (the titular Mandalorian) had apparently learned enough to converse with them....

One obvious reason for our adoration is that American women are the best team athletes in the world. They rock. They rule. What’s not to love? They’re good sports, too, apparently unpolluted by the violence and greed that plague men’s sports. Then there’s the role-model thing: “Little girls need big girls to look up to,” said basketball star Teresa Edwards. But there’s something else underlying all the hype and hoopla....

NADEAU: What message are you trying to deliver through your new book? MCGOVERN: I really think that most of the serious problems of the world can’t be solved in the near future. We’re not going to end racism in my lifetime; we’re not going to end poverty. But there’s one problem that I think we can absolutely lick, and that is hunger. Ethiopia and Eritrea are in a border war, Sudan is in civil war and Somalia is under attack by rival militias....

Now in a stretch of six losses in eight games, James expressed dissatisfaction with the Cavaliers as an organization this week, saying, “We’re not better than last year, from a personnel standpoint,” and implying that the team has gotten complacent. He also said the team is “top-heavy,” an obvious dig at the Cavs’ bench players. TRADE RUMORS: These 12 big men could be on the block Of course, that is demonstrably false....

“I think it comes with a lot of health,” James said, via ESPN. “They’ve been healthy. They’ve been the most healthy team I’ve ever seen in NBA history, and they have great talent. Those guys all play for one common goal and that’s to win, and that’s all that matters.” MORE: Classic photos of Stephen Curry | Clippers’ Blake Griffin says Warriors ’the better team’ The Warriors tied the best start in NBA history with a win over the Nuggets on Sunday, joining the 1948-49 Washington Capitols and the 1993-94 Rockets as the only teams to start a season 15-0....

All-Star captains LeBron James and Kevin Durant selected their teams Wednesday, and the rosters were shared Thursday night during the “NBA on TNT” pregame show.

Curry was a man on a mission in Game 4 on Friday night. He scored 43 points, 14 of them in the third quarter, in Golden State’s series-tying 107-97 win over the Celtics in Boston. He punctuated his performance with a few insane buckets. Curry’s frenzied display drew a number of admirers. One of them was none other than LeBron James. James took to Twitter to hail Curry’s performance. Bron got it right....

The superstar forward ended it on the New Orleans bench while the Pelicans failed to keep up with another superstar who already made his way to Hollywood last summer. LeBron James capped his 33-point performance with a one-legged, fallaway 3-pointer with 31 seconds to play, and the Lakers weathered strong performances by Davis and Julius Randle for a 125-119 victory on Wednesday night. Davis had 22 points and eight rebounds in the first three quarters after getting a warm reception from Lakers fans who eagerly followed Los Angeles’ fruitless pursuit of a trade for the forward earlier this season....

James posted a double-double to snap the Lakers’ season-long winless run away to the Trail Blazers on Saturday. In doubt with a groin problem, James took to the court and scored 21 points and tallied 16 assists for the Lakers in Portland. Kyle Kuzma put up 24 points and Lakers team-mate Anthony Davis added 20 points. Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard had a game-high 31 points as Portland lost their third consecutive game....

In “Something’s Gotta Give,” Jack Nicholson is the horny, Viagra-assisted old dog Harry Sanborn, a successful, never-married 63-year-old entrepreneur who never seems to work. Amanda Peet plays the lithe young art auctioneer Marin he’s hoping to seduce at her family’s beach home in the Hamptons. Diane Keaton is her divorced mom, the svelte, famous playwright Erica Barry, who wasn’t supposed to be at the house this weekend. That’s the first curve Harry is thrown....

The last time the two sides met was at Old Trafford, where the Red Devils ran riot over Marcelo Bielsa’s side as they won 6-2 on the night. On Sunday, however, the game was at the other end of the spectrum as it was bland, lacking a cutting edge, and didn’t live up to the lofty expectations of a game between two of the most entertaining sides in the league....

We were fortunate enough to receive a sit-down interview with legendary game creator Shigeru Miyamoto during E3 2016, where we brought up the lack of playable female Link in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. According to Miyamoto, the reason for this is because Link is an existing male character, and therefore the main series of Zelda titles will always feature the tried and true version of the protagonist....
