Sporting Life Horse Racing

Tom Carnduff, Billy Lumsden and Aidan Smith are back to discuss all things Sky Sports Fantasy Football...

Host Joe Townsend, Sporting Life football editor Paul Higham and football journalists George Pitts and Tom Carnduff discuss Manchester City's European ban, the return of the Champions League and Arsene Wenger's plans for the offside rule.

As ever they also preview the Premier League weekend with all the best tips as it returns with a full round of matches following the winter break.

Chelsea v Tottenham, Everton v Arsenal and Leicester v Manchester City are standout games that get most of the focus.

It's stable tour season on the road to the Cheltenham Festival and the team share their thoughts on some of the major news lines emerging over the past week after visits to the yards of both Nicky Henderson and Gordon Elliott.

Sky Bet's Michael Shinners joins Ben Linfoot, Matt Brocklebank and host Joe Townsend to look back on the recent happenings in the world of racing, with an eye firmly fixed on the 2020 Cheltenham Festival in three weeks' time.

Shinners reflects on a trip to Seven Barrows where the likes of Shishkin, Santini and Altior really caught the eye, while the quartet also preview some of the weekend's key races including the Betway Handicap Chase and the Sky Bet Dovecote Novices' Hurdle at Kempton.

The Premier League winter break is over! We reflect on one round of fixtures that has been split over two gameweeks.

The team also discuss the top performers and look ahead to Manchester City's clash with West Ham.

The Sporting Life team provide their best bets for the weekend's horse racing and Premier League and EFL football.

Host Joe Townsend, Dale Tempest, George Pitts and Paul Higham discuss Bournemouth's complaints about referee Jon Moss' alleged "sarcastic comments", just how far Chris Wilder can take Sheffield United and whether he's getting the credit he deserves, and of course there are all of the best tips for this weekend's six Premier League games.

Ed Chamberlin, David Ord and Richard Mann join host Joe Townsend for our latest Racing Podcast with plenty of talk - still - about Tiger Roll, the weights for the Randox Health Grand National and potential ante-post bets.

They reflect too on Super Saturday at Newbury and the victories of Altior and Native River - plus why the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase is shaping up to be the race of the Cheltenham Festival.

Then - Storm Dennis permitting - we take a look at the weekend's feature action from Ascot, Haydock and Wincanton where a former National hero looks to have his final prep race before heading to Aintree in an attempt to regain the crown.

Our Weekend Best Bets podcast returns to cover racing, football, cricket, rugby union, and golf.

There’s no winter break for our football team, who talk you through all of the latest talking points in the Premier League, including the aforementioned mid-season rest, which hasn’t gone done well in all quarters.

Joe Townsend also talks to Sporting Life football journalist George Pitts, Sky Bet's Dale Tempest and Sporting Life football editor Paul Higham about the future of the FA Cup, and replays in particular, after Premier League teams again criticised that cup competition for adding to their fixture congestion.

There are still four Premier League games going ahead this week, and our team dissect each one of them and their talking points, the wider issues around the game and give you their predictions and betting tips.
