Chelsea's plans for the January transfer window are beginning to take shape, with midfield reinforcement emerging as the club's primary objective. With Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo carrying an enormous workload in the centre of the pitch, the Blues are keen to add a dynamic, high-energy midfielder who can provide rotation, balance, and long-term value.

Los Angeles is led by Adrian Kempe, who has 13 points (5 G, 8 A) in ten games.

The Sox were predicted to lose over 100 games before the year. ESPN predicted them to go 54-108 while Vegas oddsmakers put their preseason win total at 53.5. But it's possible that the team may not even lose 100 games. The key to the White Sox's success this season, and why they could fall below the 100-loss milestone, is due to the emergence of young players like Colson Montgomery, Chase Meidroth, Lenyn Sosa, Kyle Teel, Grant Taylor, and even Brooks Baldwin.
