    TOP STORY

    Bernardo Silva believes Manchester City winning the Premier League title this season would be a bigger achievement than their record-breaking 2017-18 success.

    City returned to the top of the pile after a 1-0 win at Tottenham on Monday night, going back above Liverpool on goal difference.

    It was their eighth win from 10 games and their sixth clean sheet on the bounce and they again appear to be the team to beat, but Silva feels it is much tougher for them this year.

    FOOTBALL

    Wayne Rooney feels some Manchester United players must do more in a bid to help get the season back on track for Jose Mourinho’s squad.

    The Red Devils find themselves in eighth place in the Premier League after Sunday’s 2-1 win over Everton.

    Elsewhere, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is not prepared to risk the well-being of his squad in pursuit of silverware.

    Spurs return to action in the Carabao Cup at West Ham tonight, just 24 hours after their 1-0 Premier League defeat to Manchester City on Monday.

    Tottenham’s fixture congestion is of their own making, as delays to their new stadium and the arrangement of the NFL game meant they had to shoehorn the City game in so close to EFL Cup duty.

    CRICKET

    An alarmed Sourav Ganguly has shot a letter to the BCCI expressing his fears at the state of Indian cricket administration at the moment.

    The former India skipper, who now leads the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), voiced his fears at the ‘appalling’ manner in which cricket was being administered in the country, according to his letter published in a report by ESPNcricinfo.

    Elsewhere, New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson will be hoping his men can dust off the cobwebs when they take on Pakistan in the first T20 of the three-match series at Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.

    The Blackcaps have not played any international cricket since the completion of the Test series against England at the start of April this year.
