Sporting Life Horse Racing

Sporting Life's Tom Carnduff and George Pitts are joined by Sky Bet's Dale Tempest to review all the latest Premier League events.

Duncan Ferguson had an immediate impact at Everton as they beat Chelsea 3-1 at Goodison Park. Should he get the job on a full-time basis? Or is it important that they don't get carried away in the moment?

It's been a great week for Manchester United after they secured bragging rights in the derby. We hear from former United defender Paul Parker who gives us his thoughts on the current situation.

Leicester keep on winning. Are they serious title contenders? Or would you back Liverpool going the entire season unbeaten?

We discuss all that and much more.

Tom Carnduff, Billy Lumsden and Aidan Smith are back in a Friday slot this week to discuss all things Sky Sports Fantasy Football.

They reflect on a double gameweek full of points, for some rather than others, while looking at this week's action. There are games which are spread over three days, with West Ham v Arsenal rounding off the action on Monday Night Football.

We look at potential captaincy options over this period, with a real chance for differentials to tip the weight in your favour.

It's also a good time of year to dive into the transfer allocation so the team discuss which players would be good to bring in at this point.

Football, racing and boxing are covering in our latest best bets podcast.
Tom Carnduff provides tips for corners, a goal scoring left back and the handicap markets to cover Saturday's Premier League and Sky Bet Championship action.
Matt Brocklebank and Ben Linfoot run the rule over the Tingle Creek and Becher Chase, while also providing their best bets elsewhere.
And our boxing expert Chris Oliver previews Anthony Joshua against Andy Ruiz Jr, as AJ looks to regain his belts, plus the best value in an exciting undercard.

David Ord and Ben Linfoot are joined by Mark Howard and Daryl Jacob on this week’s edition.

Mark explains why he’s recommended backing Honeysuckle for the Unibet Champion Hurdle following her win at Fairyhouse last week while Daryl admits it was tough choosing between Sceau Royal and Janika in the Betfair Tingle Creek Chase.

Our team preview the Sandown feature plus the main action on a cracking card at Aintree too.

We're back, but on a Tuesday, as Tom Carnduff, Billy Lumsden and Aidan Smith discuss how the current double gameweek is going.

This week sees the fixtures spread across three days with Amazon Prime venturing into Premier League broadcasting. The good news for us is that it provides opportunity for three different captains.

It also means there is a chance to maximise points return using transfers. We look at which transfers will be best to make to ensure getting the best possible score on each day.

Alongside all that, we preview each fixture and reveal our captaincy choices for the rest of Gameweek 17.

The Sporting Life Football team of Tom Carnduff, Paul Higham and George Pitts sit down to talk all things Premier League.

It was another eventful weekend of action as the trio dissect the latest results. Leicester struck late with a little help from VAR while Manchester City dropped points again.

West Ham stunned Chelsea on Saturday, then on Sunday the Freddie Ljungberg 'era' began with a draw against Norwich. Liverpool continued to pick up points but Manchester United were held, again, this time by Aston Villa.

We hear from The Athletic's Everton Correspondent Greg O'Keeffe. He discusses the situation with Marco Silva and whether or not he will be leaving Goodison Park. Our team also speak about the managerial changes at Watford and Arsenal and who could be the new faces in the dugout.

Finally, the next round of fixtures will be live streamed on Amazon Prime. Exciting, right? We look at the positives and negatives of the move.

All that and much more...

David Ord is in the host this week as our team pick out their best bets for the sporting weekend.

Ben Linfoot starts to whittle down his shortlist for the Ladbrokes Trophy and has a strong fancy in the closing race at Newbury. Tom Carnduff is on hand with his best bets for the football programme while Richard Mann has a tasty snooker treble at the UK Championships.

Tom Carnduff, Billy Lumsden and Aidan Smith are back in their usual Thursday slot to discuss all things Sky Sports Fantasy Football.

This week is a good one with each team playing two fixtures. Another big positive is the spread of games which means action on five different days.

We look at potential captaincy options with the next seven days presenting real opportunity for a big points haul. It's also a good time of year to dive into the transfer allocation so the team discuss which players would be good to bring in at this point.

All that and much more!

David Ord, Ben Linfoot and Matt Brocklebank preview the Ladbrokes Trophy in this week’s Racing Podcast.

Daryl Jacob joins the team to reflect on Bristol De Mai’s Betfair Chase return and look ahead to Borice at Newbury this weekend and in part three we talk all things Tiger Roll with Gordon Elliott, Davy Russell and Martin Greenwood.

Ben Coley and Richard Mann are joined by Eurosport’s Neal Foulds ahead of the first Triple Crown event of the snooker season, the UK Championship in York.

Neal Foulds reflects on some of his fondest UK Championship memories before looking ahead to this year’s renewal, one which sees Judd Trump head the betting following an irresistible run of form over the last 12 months.

As ever, Ronnie O’Sullivan gets plenty of attention but Neal fancies another from the famous Class of 92 to enjoy a big run in York while Richard has a couple of big-priced bets picked out of his own.
