Sheffield United – Everton: How to watch, start time, team news, odds

By Andy EdwardsDec 26, 2020, 2:03 PM EST

Sheffield United – Everton: Carlo Ancelotti’s Toffees will look to make it four straight Premier League wins in a row and add to their case for a top-four spot when they visit the bottom-of-the-table Blades at Bramall Lane on Saturday (Watch live at 3 pm ET, on Peacock Premium).

SHEFFIELD UNITED – EVERTON STREAM LIVE

With successive wins over Chelsea, Leicester City and Arsenal, Everton have managed to bounce back in a big way after a poor run of results had completely undone their four-game winning start to the 2020-21 season. Sitting fourth ahead of Boxing Day and the rest of the festive fixtures — they were 15th on this date a year ago — there’s little doubt that Ancelotti is the right man for the job today.

What they’re saying

Chris Wilder, on the challenge of staying up: “The question, about whether we can do it will be asked of us, of course. All we can do is try and show what we’re about, show that we’ve got the right mindset and the fight, and then go from there. I know what these lads are all about. I know they’re ready to give everything they’ve got, because they’ve shown that time and time again over the past few years. That should never be in doubt, but it will be doubted by some. So we’ve got to react, and I think we’ve done that.”

Carlo Ancelotti, on Lucas Digne contract talks: “The situation is that we are pleased to renew the contract of Digne because he is an important player for the present and the future. The club and [director of football Marcel Brands] are going to talk to him. It will not be a problem to renew the contract of Digne. He is happy to be here and we are happy with him.”

By Andy EdwardsJun 1, 2023, 1:50 PM EDT

After reaching the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup, the USMNT have a big 2023 coming up as they aim to build off a successful showing on the world’s biggest stage.

[ LATEST: Balogun named to Nations League roster ]

For the next few months CONCACAF Nations League takes center stage, while the program is very much in transition as Anthony Hudson was in temporary charge but he has now moved on with B.J. Callaghan taking over an interim basis as the search for a new permanent head coach continues.

After both the general manager (Brian McBride) and sporting director (Earnie Stewart) left in recent months, Matt Crocker has arrived as U.S. Soccer’s new sporting director and has some huge decisions coming up as the USMNT’s talented youngsters need some guidance with a World Cup on home soil just three years away.

USWNT release 2023 World Cup jerseys

By Joe Prince-WrightJun 1, 2023, 11:26 AM EDT

The USWNT 2023 World Cup jerseys have arrived and the Stars and Stripes will certainly stand out from the crowd at the tournament in Australia and New Zealand this summer.

[ MORE: Schedule, how to watch, bracket for 2023 World Cup ]

Vlatko Andonovski’s side are going for a third-straight World Cup title, something which has never been achieved in the history of the men’s and women’s game.

Led by Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and Becky Sauerbrunn, this USWNT side have so much experience but there are also exciting young talents coming through with Mallory Swanson and Trinity Rodman excelling in recent months.

Below is a closer look at the the new USWNT 2023 World Cup jerseys, with the away kit also to be worn by the USMNT.

USWNT 2023 World Cup jerseys

U.S. Soccer say that the inspiration for the jerseys are “from abstract expressionism, an international art movement that started in the 1940s in New York and shifted the art epicenter from Europe to the U.S., similar to what the USA team has done for women’s soccer.”

They add there is “a custom USA ‘signature'” as the “bespoke mark is hand painted with ink on paper, and is a nod to the abstract expressionism movement, where each artist would sign their painting. Lastly, the USA’s inner pride mark celebrates the USWNT’s four Women’s World Cup championships in 1991, 1999, 2015 and 2019.”

When it comes to the home kit, U.S. Soccer say it is “an unexpected take on the tradition of wearing white at home and features a bespoke drip paint technique pattern. Highlighting the energy of the USWNT and how they are diverse players and personalities, but always united, the action painting method pattern features a distinctive placement, making every single jersey unique.”

For the blue away kit, which will be worn by both the USWNT and USMNT, there are “bespoke stars and stripe print on the sleeve cuffs – a diagonal stripe with intersecting stars – and a neckline that also features red blades, formed to look like the tip of stars.”

They add that those shapes are “subtle, patriotic nods to the hidden shapes that are inspired by abstract expressionism art.”

Here is a look at both USWNT World Cup jerseys in a little more detail, plus the USMNT showing off their new away kits.
