Check out Man Utd’s EPL odds Jurgen Klopp was in the market for a versatile attacker but he instead opted to acquire Mohamed Salah. Why? Because the Egyptian was a younger, cheaper and better option. Perisic is expected to join Salah in English football in the next week having, like the ex-Chelsea man, enjoyed a successful second full season in Serie A. However, looking at their respective stats for the 2016-17 campaign, Salah comes out on top in terms of goals (15 to 11), shooting accuracy (53....

Blindness May Occur There are many small blood vessels, specifically arteries, in the forehead and eye area that supply blood to the area. Improper use of dermal fillers and fat injections can lead to the blockage of a blood vessel that supplies blood to the eye. When the blood is prevented from reaching the eye because of the blockage, blindness is the result. This condition is known as retinal artery occlusion (RAO)....

The shower—described as the “best of the year” by NASA—has been active since July 17 and will continue to be visible until August 24, although the display will get weaker and weaker the further from the peak night. Over the past few days and weeks, astrophotographers have headed into dark, rural areas around the world to capture images of the shower. Photographer Menahem Kahana snapped this spectacular image of a Perseid meteor streaking across the sky above a campsite in Israel’s Negev desert on the peak night, with the Milky Way clearly visible in the background....

The organization calls the move a “violation of its 2009 ban on animal use in experiments.” Specifically, PETA says that a study at Wayne State University, funded by Ford through its University Research Program, called “Side Impact Assessment and Comparison of Appropriate Size and Age Equivalent Porcine Surrogates to Scaled Human Side Impact Response Biofidelity Corridors,” used those pigs to determine whether side impacts had any equivalent effects that could translate to human bodies’ reactions in vehicle crashes....

Buttigieg, a former Democratic presidential candidate and U.S. Navy Reserve veteran of the war in Afghanistan, asked members of the GOP if they would rather be associated with a McCain or Trump rendering of the party. Speaking with Fox News Friday, Buttigieg responded to a report in The Atlantic that claimed the president labeled World War I veterans “losers” and “suckers” during a visit to a French battleground in 2018....

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll told Seattle radio station KIRO he “might have been misled” when he announced Monday that Sherman would need the surgery. MORE: Must-see Super Bowl photos | Analysts defend call | Red Sox’s Napoli blasts Sherman | Sherman trolls Revis | Inside a TJ recovery “He’s not a pitcher, and he’s not a left-hander.

It's one Peterson made numerous times since at least early last January, to the NFL Network before the Vikings' wild-card playoff game: "I want to make it the 2,500 club. It's definitely out there. I feel like it's definitely attainable.'' Now that the laugh over his audacity is out of the way … Peterson can still get to 2,000 yards. Again, it's unlikely. Starting Sunday while visiting the Baltimore Ravens, he must average 198 yards a game....

If any of that bothers No. 18, it's not showing. SN PODCAST: Talking Irsay-Manning, Week 7 Dictating the terms of his Wednesday news conference as effectively as he orchestrates his offense from the line of scrimmage, Manning paid virtually no heed to this week's comments from Colts owner Jim Irsay, while heaping plenty of praise on his former team and its fans. "I don't have an answer for you on that, or any comment on that," was Manning's response to the first, predictable question of his news conference — the one asking for reaction to Irsay's comments about giving up the old Indy offense's "Star Wars" numbers in a quest for more Super Bowl rings....

The Broncos quarterback revealed that even though he’s virtually everywhere, he doesn’t like to see himself on television. “I change the channel immediately,” Manning told the Associated Press. “And if other teammates are in the room, I run out of the room. I don’t even want to hear the abuse coming my way. I don’t watch a ton of TV, so I don’t see a lot of it. But that’s what I do, I change the channel....

Manning was asked about Newton’s celebrations that notoriously accompany the Panthers quarterback’s rushing touchdowns. MORE: Why Manning should thank Newton | Newton vs. hypocrisy “I promise if I run (for) a touchdown on Sunday, I’ll celebrate,” Manning said in front of a crowd of global media. He joked that he won’t get the opportunity, though, thanks to his 12-yard run against the Patriots in the AFC title game. “There’s a good chance Carolina may send somebody to spy me,” he said....

Manchester City have secured the Premier League title as well as the Carabao Cup, while Manchester United and Chelsea will fight it out for the FA Cup. With events coming to a conclusion on the pitch it is tradition to reflect on the campaign that was and acknowledge the performances of individual players who have excelled.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified more than 30 medications that could have significant interactions with PAXLOVID, including blood thinners and drugs for lowering cholesterol and treating gout, a common form of arthritis.

Stallings was in a five-way tie for the lead when he hit his second shot on the par-5 18th hole as hard as he could. It was enough to barely clear the water, and he took two putts from 40 feet for birdie and a 4-under 68 at Torrey Pines. — Farmers Insurance Open gallery That was enough for a one-shot victory when no one could catch him. It was the third career PGA Tour victory for Stallings, who earned a return trip to the Masters and should move high enough in the world ranking to qualify for the Match Play Championship next month in Arizona....

Mickelson is 7-under par through 54 holes, and he enters the final round at The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island (S.C) Golf Resort paired with American Brooks Koepka, who is one shot back at 6-under par.

The win is Lefty’s first since 2013, and his first at the PGA Championship since 2005. It also marks the PGA Championship as just the second major event he has won more than once (the other being the Masters Tournament). Mickelson (6 under for the tournament) birdied five holes and bogeyed six to finish the round at 1 over on Sunday, but still managed to hold off his closest competition in Brooks Koepka and Louis Oosthuizen (4 under)....

Team owner Robert Sarver told the Arizona Republic “the blame is to be shared from the top down.” But he also wonders whether some of his young players’ struggles with attitude might be common to all millennials. He specifically mentioned 26-year-old forward Markieff Morris, who complained quite publicly last summer after his twin brother, Marcus, went to the Pistons in a trade. MORE: All-time greatest Phoenix Suns “I’m not sure it’s just the NBA,” Sarver told the Republic....

The creatures were heard after they uttered an array of “whistles and clicks” as a GoPro camera was followed by the curious members of the pod. Rosie Barrett, 25, captured the moment while on a trip that started in Gairloch, a fishing community in northwest Scotland. Barrett regularly goes out on whale and dolphin spotting adventures and has filmed and photographed many amazing creatures, including orcas. She said: “We had a lovely pod of common dolphins come bounding over towards the boat....
