• Tottenham host local rivals West Ham at Wembley in fourth round  
• Crystal Palace will be wary of an upset when they travel to Bristol City

Manchester United, the holders, will travel to Swansea in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. José Mourinho’s side beat Burton of the Championship 4-1 at Old Trafford on Wednesday to secure their place in the draw.
Chelsea, 5-1 winners against Nottingham Forest, will welcome Everton – who beat Sunderland 3-0 - to Stamford Bridge. Tottenham host West Ham at Wembley and Manchester City entertain Championship side Wolves. Arsenal will also welcome Championship opposition to the Emirates in the shape of Norwich.
Crystal Palace will be wary of an upset when they travel to Bristol City, Leicesterhost Leeds and Bournemouth face Middlesbrough at home.
The fourth-round draw took place on familiar turf – and at a reasonable hour – in the Sky Sports studios in west London, rather than its controversial trip to Bangkok or the bizarre decision to hold it in Beijing in the early hours of the morning.
Mercifully, Charlie Nicholas and Phil Thompson also avoided any John Salako-like confusion over who was playing at home or away as they drew out the balls.
The ties will take place during the week commencing 23 October.

Fourth-round draw

Arsenal v Norwich City
Bournemouth v Middlesbrough
Bristol City v Crystal Palace

Cost of Contact in Sports Is Estimated at Over 600,000 Injuries a Year

It seems obvious that there will be more, and more serious, injuries among high school and college athletes in football or soccer or lacrosse than, say, in running or in tennis. But how much more and at what economic cost? The Yale researchers discovered that these numbers were difficult to obtain, but using the best available data, they calculated that if contact sports could be practiced without contact, such as flag football, for example, there would be 49,600 fewer injuries among men. university athletes per year and 601,900 less among male high school athletes. The savings, which include estimates of medical costs and lost time, could reach $ 1.5 billion a year for colleges and $ 19.2 billion a year for high schools. And that only takes into account the immediate consequences of an injury, according to an article by the researchers, and not the long-term effects of concussions or repeated bursts of the brain in collisions. Or the repercussions of ligament tears, which ...

Liverpool 2-2 Sevilla: Rock & Roll Football is starting to look indefensible

Liverpool’s opening group stage game provided the perfect opportunity for revenge – a rematch of the 2016 UEFA Europa League final against Sevilla. It was the Spanish side that came out on top on that night and denied Jurgen Klopp’s side entry to last season’s Champions League, but Liverpool improved on that slightly tonight with a 2-2 draw. The result means that Liverpool have still never beaten a Spanish side in the group stage in seven attempts. Jurgen Klopp will be disappointed to secure only a point, especially considering the amount of chances that his side wasted. Early drama at both ends, and the beginnings of a sensational game Jurgen Klopp’s side always start games quickly but it was Sevilla who struck first in this one, shocking the Anfield faithful. Incredibly nonchalant static defending and a fluffed clearance from Dejan Lovren allowed Wissam Ben Yedder to tap Escudero’s cross into an open net and give the Spaniards the lead. From that moment on however i...

Why Romelu Lukaku is untouchable in my team-Mourinho

Jose Mourinho tried to provoke Manchester United fans to give more support to striker Romelu Lukaku, marking the "untouchable" Belgian. Mourinho accused Manchester United fans of not appreciating the £ 75 million striker, suggesting that the center-forward should be safe from criticism after a great start at Old Trafford. Having first raised the issue after United's triumph over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, Mourinho broadened his concerns before his team's meeting with Benfica. "The fans are the fans, they pay their tickets and they are free to express how they want to express themselves, but my job is to protect my players when they deserve it," said Mourinho. "Romelu is one of the players who should be untouchable in terms of respect for everyone. This is not a goal or the ball goes against the publication or redemption by the opposition goalkeeper who can bring the contribution of Romelu below the top level, he plays extremely well for ...

‘Cristiano Ronaldo Is Finished’ – Messi

According to reports, Barcelona star Lionel Messi believes that Cristiano Ronaldo finished at Real Madrid. Ronaldo had a nightmarish start to the season, scoring only one league goal for Real Madrid so far. There seems to be real concern at the Bernabéu that his talisman is over, with the 32-year-old approaching the last years of his career. And the Spanish site Don Balon says that Lionel Messi believes that Ronaldo will never find the form that has made him such a formidable opponent in recent years. Ronaldo won the FIFA World Player of the Year title last month for his White exploits last season, where he sacked them for Spanish and European glory. But the brutal fact is that he has been unworthy of this award based on this season's performances. He has eight goals in all competitions, but the domestic situation in Madrid has joined his. Barcelona is already eight points behind Real Madrid at the top, with Valencia interspersed. Don Balon says Messi also...
