da aviator aposta： Liverpool just always has something up their sleeve in the dying moments of games to get over the line.

da spicy bet： Newcastle United fell victim to the Reds’ never-say-die attitude last month when Arne Slot’s side snatched a 3-2 victory at the death. Now, Burnley have succumbed to the reigning Premier League champions’ unwavering spirit at Turf Moor as well, as a late Mohamed Salah penalty handed Liverpool another dramatic three points.

Salah’s last-gasp spot-kick definitely papered over some noticeable cracks during a 1-0 win, but Slot and Co wouldn’t care one bit right after the match, with Liverpool still sitting pretty at the top of the division as the only side with a 100% record intact.

Still, the manner of the win being so nervy against a newly promoted side will have concerned Slot, with Florian Wirtz’s first-team spot now potentially up for grabs, after the flashy midfielder struggled to get going once more in his new surroundings.

Wirtz's struggles at Liverpool

Indeed, off the back of failing to pick up a goal and an assist again, Wirtz still remains without a goal involvement donning his new Liverpool colours.

The once effortless demeanour of Wirtz lining up for Leverkusen is now gone, with the £116m price-tag above his head doing him no favours, either, when it comes to widespread scrutiny.

He isn’t helping himself, though, with his lacklustre display against Burnley making many question why he cost so much money to bring in.

Staggeringly, from his 87 minutes on the pitch, the below-par German would fail to register a single on-target effort at the Clarets’ net, fail to produce a single successful dribble, and also give the ball away in a lackadaisical manner 21 times.

On another day, his Dutch manager might well have hooked him off sooner, with Slot having no qualms about bringing off another underperformer so early into the tense contest, who was arguably just as poor as Wirtz when looking back at the 1-0 win.

Liverpool's 4/10 star is facing the bench

Thankfully, while the likes of Wirtz did fade in and out of the clash, Slot always knows he can rely on Salah to get his high-flying team out of a spot of bother.

The former Feyenoord boss must have known his team were going to be up against it when assessing Milos Kerkez’s disastrous first-half offering, which led to the 46-year-old amazingly bringing off the former AFC Bournemouth defender with just 38 minutes on the clock.

Away from facing some defensive difficulties in Lancashire, Kerkez was mainly pulled so early on due to his controversial dive, with the new Reds number six rightly booked for trying to deceive the referee.

Slot said afterwards that he was worried that Kerkez could then get sent off, leading to the dependable Andrew Robertson coming on in his place, with a solid shift put in by the Scotsman further troubling the Hungarian’s starting position.

Looking at the table above, minus Kerkez bettering Robertson’s pass accuracy, his more experienced counterpart might well get the nod to start Liverpool’s first Champions League clash of the campaign against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night, with Slot well aware he can’t have any rash performers jeopardising the Reds at Anfield on such a big occasion.

Worryingly, Kerkez would fail to win a single duel across his 38 minutes on the pitch, with Liverpool Echo journalist Ian Doyle handing him a low 4/10 rating, having stated that the ex-Cherries full-back looked both “uncomfortable” at the back, but also lacking a threat in the forward areas.

Most importantly, despite these notable off-performances, Liverpool still managed to collect another early-season victory.

But, Atletico Madrid up next will be a far tougher challenge than Parker and Co, as Slot now deliberates whether to axe both Kerkez and Wirtz for European football’s return to Merseyside.

New Zealand, who are playing a Test for the first time this year, are without Latham, Williamson, Phillips and Jamieson

Hemant Brar29-Jul-2025

Big picture: Zimbabwe eye first win against NZWelcome back to Test cricket, New Zealand. The last time they played a Test was in December 2024, against England in Hamilton. Given that this two-match series against Zimbabwe doesn’t count towards the World Test Championship, they can take their time to reacquaint themselves with the flow and rhythm of red-ball cricket.On the other hand, Zimbabwe have played seven Tests this year, the joint-most with Australia. But with six losses and just one win, they have the worst record for any team. Moreover, they are yet to beat New Zealand in Test cricket. Of the 17 Tests against New Zealand, they have lost 11 and drawn six.Having said that, this is a slightly weakened New Zealand side. They are without captain Tom Latham, former captain Kane Williamson and allrounders Glenn Phillips and Kyle Jamieson. Williamson is unavailable for the series, having signed a deal with Middlesex, which includes playing for London Spirit in the Hundred; Jamieson is at home, awaiting the birth of his first child; Latham is yet to recover from a shoulder injury he picked up during the Vitality Blast; and Phillips is sidelined with a groin injury he picked up during the MLC.Related

Latham out of first Test, Santner to lead

In Latham’s absence, Mitchell Santner will lead the side. He has plenty of experience captaining New Zealand in ODIs and T20Is, but this will be a first for him in first-class cricket, let alone Test cricket.Recently, an understrength South Africa proved to be too good for Zimbabwe. But for this series, they are bolstered by the returns of allrounder Sikandar Raza and opener Ben Curran. Raza lends the much-needed balance and experience, and Curran should add the solidity at the top. Brendan Taylor’s ban has also ended but he has not been named in the squad yet.Form guideZimbabwe LLLLW (last five Tests, most recent first)
New Zealand WLLWWIn the spotlight: Williams and HenrySean Williams has been easily the best Zimbabwe batter this year. In seven Tests, he has scored 577 at an average of 52.45 and a strike rate of 76.83. Only Shubman Gill (755) and Rishabh Pant (580) have scored more Test runs than him in 2025. One thing he would like to improve, though, is his conversion rate. Of his five 50-plus scores this year, he converted only one into a hundred.Sean Williams averages 52.45 in Tests this year•Zimbabwe Cricket

Matt Henry’s overall Test record – 120 wickets at an average of 29.84 – does not scream elite. But scratch beneath that and you realise why Henry is rated so highly. When he opens the bowling, his record becomes 105 wickets at 24.11. Last year, he picked up 48 wickets in nine Tests at an average of 18.58 and a strike rate of 33.97. Among the top ten wicket-takers of 2024, only Jasprit Bumrah had a better average (14.92) and a strike rate (30.1).

The forecast is for cool and dry weather.Stats and trivia New Zealand have won each of their last six Tests against Zimbabwe, four of them by an innings and another by 254 runs. Santner will become New Zealand’s 32nd Test captain. Three of Williams’ six Test hundreds have come at the Queens Sports Club. Williams is 125 away from 2000 Test runs, and Craig Ervine 159. Nicholls needs 27 runs to reach the 3000 mark in Test cricket.

da esport bet： Celtic find themselves in a race against time to land a new striker, though they have now made an approach to bring in a forward on the books at a Premier League club.

Celtic fail in bid to land Anderlecht striker Kasper Dolberg

da jogodeouro： Despite making him their top target, Celtic look to have missed out on a deal for Anderlecht striker Kasper Dolberg, who is primed to complete a move to Anderlecht before the close of play.

Taking to social media platform X, Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph reported that the Denmark international now has his set on a move to his former club after the Dutch giants sought assurances over his willingness to snub alternative interest.

He stated: “UPDATE: Ajax are now pressing ahead with their hijack of Kasper Dolberg’s move to Celtic after seeking assurances from the player that he would prefer a return to his old club. #AFCAjax now back in talks with Anderlecht over a permanet deal. This could leave Celtic scrambling.”

Elsewhere, the Bhoys have put forward a loan for Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sayki, albeit he could end up at either Rangers, Lyon, and Leicester City, who are also keen on landing the England Under-21 international.

The timing of whether Celtic manage to land a striker or not is critical, given Irishman Adam Idah is set for a move to Swansea after completing his medical, though they have held fire on relinquishing his services until a replacement is found.

Truthfully, the late part of the window for supporters has failed to deliver in terms of excitement, but that could be about to change as they hone in on a new centre-forward.

Celtic make loan approach to sign Chelsea's David Datro Fofana

According to Sky Sports reporter Joseph on X, who was mentioned earlier, Celtic have made a loan approach to try and sign Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana before tonight’s deadline.

Intriguingly, his colleague Ron Walker eluded to the fact that is ‘looks like’ the Bhoys may land his services despite suggesting that Bristol City were in the mix, potentially suggesting that a deal is further down the line than initially thought.

Despite joining Chelsea for £10.3 million in 2022, Fofana has made only four appearances for the Premier League giants and spent time out on loan at Goztepe last term, scoring twice in nine appearances before sustaining a knee injury.

Adding Union Berlin and Burnley to his other loans, the Ivory Coast international, dubbed “aggressive” by Vincent Kompany, has never really settled since joining the Blues from Molde, where he burst on to the scene after netting 24 times in 65 outings.

Celtic appear willing to offer him an olive branch at a late stage, creating a scenario where both parties benefit while Chelsea move another player off their books.

Fast bowler confident he’s ready for Test comeback after coming through Sussex return unscathed

ESPNcricinfo staff24-Jun-2025

Jofra Archer says that the mental challenge of returning to four-day cricket after a four-year absence has been a bigger issue than the physical toil. However, he is confident that his body will be ready for Test cricket if he gets the call-up later this summer.Speaking to Sussex Cricket at Chester-le-Street after the second day’s play, where he had dismissed Emilio Gay lbw for his first first-class wicket for 1,501 days, Archer admitted the experience had been “mentally tough” on a surface that offered very little lateral movement for the bowlers.”I’m glad to just finish a day of four-day cricket,” he said. “Last time I played [against Kent at Hove in May 2021], I just made it to tea, so I’m glad to go all the way today.”When the scoreboard got to 50 overs, I was, like, ‘Jesus, time to come off now!'” he joked. “But it wasn’t too bad. Doing it session-by-session was okay, but the pitch didn’t do much.”Today could have been the longest day I’ve ever had, and not because it’s red-ball cricket,” he added. “I’ve been in the field for two-and-a-half days before, and it still didn’t feel as long as today. When the ball is moving, and you’re getting something off the pitch, it feels a bit more exciting.”However, crucially for Archer’s hopes of getting back into the Test team – for whom he last featured on the tour of India in 2020-21 – his body has so far shown no reaction to the added toil of red-ball cricket.”It felt all right today,” he said. “I’ve been playing for a year, and bowling for two years, including the build-up, so everything is fine.”There have been no restrictions on this game,” he added, when asked if the ECB had requested that he limit his workload. “Whatever I did, I did. Obviously there can’t be a limit if you’re looking at a Test match. They were in the field for a day-and-a-half [in the first Test at Headingley].Related

“You can’t have restrictions if you’re potentially going to go in. You put your body through as much pressure, safely, as possible, to put yourself in the best position.”Archer’s return to action this summer was delayed by an injured right thumb that he sustained during the IPL. However, he classified that setback alongside the freak glass cut he received from a broken fishtank back in 2021, calling it more of an “accident than an injury” compared to the career-threatening elbow and back fractures that have chequered his recent career.”If you get cut in the kitchen with a knife, no-one’s going to call it an injury,” he said. “It’s similar with my thumb. I just got hit while batting as we do all the time, but unfortunately it got fractured. If it was my left thumb I could have carried on and no-one would know but, because it was my bowling hand, I had to give it a bit of care.”But injuries are injuries. Nobody gets injured on purpose, no one knows when they will happen … it can be in the gym, or rehab, pre-hab, or whatever. If you’re supposed to get injured, there’s nothing you can do to get away from it.”Asked if he could ever have envisaged a return to first-class cricket during his long lay-off, Archer replied: “Back then, I didn’t have the choice because I didn’t think my body could hold up to it.”Now it’s a different challenge, because I know my body can hold up to it. The mental part of the game [will be tough]. Over the next couple of days, I’m going to have to battle a bit with it, but it’s all good. It’s a new challenge, and I’ll keep trucking along.”
