WAFCON 2026: Boost for Super Falcons as Esther Okoronkwo returns to training

Rangers technical adviser Fidelis Ilechukwu says the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, title is still up for grabs, DAILY POST reports.

The Flying Antelopes were held to a 0-0 draw by Barau FC in a matchday 33 encounter at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu on Sunday.

The nine-time champions reclaimed top spot despite the result after former leaders Rivers United lost 2-0 to Warri Wolves in Ozoro.

Ilechukwu expected the title race to go down the wire.

“Five games to go, the league title is still open. Rivers United lost today, but you can never say what can happen. The most important thing is that we will prepare for our next game,” he said.

Rangers will be away to Niger Tornadoes in their next game this weekend.

NPFL title race far from decided — Ilechukwu

Manchester City became the latest team that failed to beat Sunderland at the Stadium of Light this season.

Pep Guardiola’s men were held to a goalless draw on New Year’s Day.

The implications of that result became more obvious on Saturday, after Arsenal battled to a 3-2 victory over Bournemouth.

Powered by the drive and quality of the fit-again Declan Rice, the Gunners took maximum points from the Vitality Stadium and are now seven points clear of City.

So City know that only a win against Chelsea will do.

The Blues arrive at the Etihad without a permanent manager, after the club parted ways with Enzo Maresca earlier this week.

Chelsea’s U-21 coach, Calum McFarlane, will lead the team out against the former champions.

Although McFarlane is likely to be in place for just one game, his plan will be to get a decent result against City and keep Chelsea in the running for a top-four finish.

It will indeed be a tricky one for Guardiola, who was preparing to face his former assistant.

However, whatever the Spaniard comes up against on Sunday, he must find answers to, or Arsenal will start getting out of sight.

Everton, Brentford, Crystal Palace, Brighton and Fulham have all been earlier linked with the talented winger.

Sunderland have now joined the list of his admirers, according to reports.
Millwall will only reportedly consider a substantial offer for the former Reading player.
