Yet, the narrative of this match has changed much in recent weeks. Where United might once have travelled with some trepidation, although never voiced, Van Gaal’s squad boarded the train south on Friday in buoyant mood. Six Premier League wins on the bounce makes United and not Chelsea the league’s form team. Add Chelsea’s middling recent performances into the mix, albeit downbeat matches that have not translated into poor results, and there are reasons for United’s manager to feel confident....

Rohit Ramesh, the heir to the franchise, told TOI about their new expedition, “We have ended our ties with the Premier Futsal League after the first season,” he said. Chennai had a disappointing outing in the inaugural season of the competition after they failed to qualify for the knockout stages.

One Dua Lipa fan described the 27-year-old British singer as “the Cher of our generation.” They had posted a photo on Twitter of the two singers side-by-side looking remarkably similar with straight, long black hair and revealing sparkling outfits. Another Dua fan retweeted that tweet, adding “so much truth in one tweet,” and tagged both singers. Cher, who is known as a prolific tweeter, swiftly responded by writing “How many yrs are in a generation 🤔....

Sitting down with Bill Maher for an episode of Maher’s “Club Random” podcast last Sunday, Chase recalled being a guest on Tom Snyder’s NBC talk show Tomorrow in 1980. “[Tom] said, ‘People say you’re going to be the next Cary Grant,’ and I said, ‘That’s crazy, there’s nobody like Cary Grant and there will never be another Cary Grant and I understand he was a homo,’” Chase recalled to Maher....

The Cubs’ Kyle Hendricks takes the hill in the midst of a disappointing campaign. He’s 2-5 with a 5.22 ERA, and he’s notched just two quality starts in 11 tries. The silver lining here is that he absolutely shut down the Padres’ bats back on May 9, where he retired 26 batters and gave up just three hits and zero runs. He was one out shy of a complete-game shutout, and he’ll need a solid performance to help snap his club’s losing streak on Tuesday....

The video shows 24-year-old Gyovanny Arzuaga get shot dead, and a woman who was dragged out of the car and was also shot. She remains in critical condition. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot addressed the horrific video Monday at a press conference. “As you saw from the horrific video, it wasn’t just one person. There’s one person who dealt the fatal shot. But there were others who were standing by who dragged that poor woman out of the car....

A crowd gathered outside the police station on 18th and South State Street for a demonstration organized by Black Lives Matter Chicago on Monday evening. Tyler LaRiviere, a Chicago-based photojournalist, tweeted that protesters had planned “to occupy the space and until people are released from the police station then party.” Later, LaRiviere tweeted that a line of officers had approached protesters with clubs in hand. “Protesters met them with umbrellas and after a bit the cops retreated back into the District 1 Station,” LaRiviere added....

Just don’t tell that to Travis Kelce. The Chiefs tight end went off on Cheffers following Kansas City’s 18-16 divisional round loss to the Steelers on Sunday night. Kelce was upset Cheffers called Chiefs tackle Eric Fisher for holding Steelers linebacker James Harrison on a two-point conversion attempt that would have tied the game at 18-18 with less than three minutes remaining. MORE: How Steelers-Chiefs unfolded “It hurts. You fight all year, you fight all game, for it to end like that, for the ref to take it ot of our hands, that hurts,” Kelce told reporters....

Yet, thus far, he has been unable to convince the Chiefs to step up and sign him to a long-term deal. Instead, for the second straight offseason, Berry is hearing the dreaded F word — as in franchise tag. After playing under the franchise tender in 2016, Berry has stated publicly that if the Chiefs tag him again and don’t consummate a long-term deal by the July 15 deadline, he will not play for them in 2017....

To be specific, when Villas-Boas was in charge of this particular lineup, the Blues weren’t quite sure as to what their future would be in that particular season, but Di Matteo flipped the sides and made them do the impossible. With a late goal from each side in the second half of the final, the game was carried to the penalty shootout, as predicted by many. The likes of Didier Drogba, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, and Juan Mata put up a show that no other football fans could really resist, but as the times went by, their status and their charisma changed completely, as they either left for some other club, some of them simply retired and the others are still hanging around, building a legacy for their team, and for themselves....

The England international has had a career beset by injury problems and finds himself out of contract at the Emirates as of June. With contract talks having apparently moved nowhere in recent months, Wise, a former tough-tackling midfielder at Stamford Bridge, thinks the 26-year-old would be an ideal partner for N’Golo Kante. “If Chelsea needed a midfield player I would definitely take Jack Wilshere,” he told Sky Sports. “He’s free, he’s 26 years old and he’s proved he’s come back to full fitness....

The midfielder will receive an amount close to his current salary, with other added bonuses based on his number of appearances. The Blues signed Kante in the summer of 2016 from Leicester City for £30 million. The France international moved to Stamford Bridge on the back of an astonishing Premier League victory with the Foxes. Kante won back-to-back Premier League titles as Chelsea lifted the English Premier League trophy at the end of the Frenchman’s debut season at Stamford bridge....

Antonio Conte’s side stuttered once again on Tuesday, losing 3-0 to Roma in the Champions League. Man United are on the verge of qualification to the knockout stage, having won all their matches in the competition. Morata 7/2 FGS with dabblebet Jose Mourinho has a mixed record against his former employers at United, winning once and losing twice, and he will be joined by Juan Mata and Nemanja Matic in reuniting with the Blues....

Chelsea is one of the teams having easier fixtures with only Arsenal and Liverpool looking like hurdles in their first 10 game weeks. Playing against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is a tough ask for any team. In Arsenal’s first fixture, they were completely outplayed in the first half with Raheem Sterling opening his account within first fifteen minutes of the game. Bernardo Silva scored a screamer off the cutback by Mendy in the second half, handing Arsenal a tough defeat....

The two teams locked horns in the Champions League last season as well, albeit in the semi-final stage. Thomas Tuchel’s men outclassed and outsmarted Zinedine Zinedine’s Real Madrid on all fronts, securing a 3-1 win on aggregate. The Blues will look to replicate their last season’s result, but with Carlo Ancelotti at the helm, Los Blancos will be determined to do better. Both Chelsea and Real Madrid are filled to the brim with high-quality players, thus promising excellent battles all over the pitch....

In a joint statement Monday, Committee Chairman Representative Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Vice-Chair Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) stated that the former president’s lawsuit was an attempt to “delay and obstruct” the committee’s investigation. “The former President’s clear objective is to stop the Select Committee from getting to the facts about January 6th,” the statement continued. “Precedent and law are on our side. Executive privilege is not absolute and President Biden has so far declined to invoke that privilege....
