Mali and Zambia will get their Africa Cup of Nations campaigns underway when they meet at Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca on Monday in Group A. Both sides arrive in Morocco eager to make a statement, with Mali targeting a long-awaited maiden AFCON title and Zambia aiming to rekindle memories of their historic triumph in 2012. Mali enter the tournament knowing the importance of starting strongly against a former champion if they are to set the tone for a deep run in the competition.

The Republic of Ireland have beaten the Czech Republic twice in the eight meetings between the two countries. Heimir Hallgrimsson's side face a trip to the central European nation in the semi-finals of the European play-offs for a spot in the 2026 World Cup. A win for the Republic of Ireland on 26 March would set up a home final against the winner of the other semi-final between Denmark and North Macedonia on 31 March.

Arsenal last conceded a goal at 5.05pm on 28 September. Since then, they've only allowed 12 shots on target in 12 hours and 56 minutes of football, over eight-and-a-half matches, a sequence that equals a club record established in 1903, when they were still knocking around in Woolwich. Nick Ames digs deeper. Share Sunderland are in If It Ain't Broke mode. They name the same XI that started the 2-1 win at Chelsea and the 1-1 draw with Everton.

That feat that once seemed insurmountable this year for the Blue Jays is capturing the American League East division title. Currently sitting atop the AL East with both the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox hot on their tails, it looks like it will be a battle right down to the wire.
