Premier League clubs scramble for sponsorship deals: 'It's almost ... (The Athletic)

The theory goes that the biggest deals of the football season have been done and the chaos of the transfer market can be put back in its box until summer.

[Leeds](https://theathletic.com/football/team/leeds-united/), meanwhile, are expected to continue their multi-year deal with SBOTOP. [Wolverhampton Wanderers](https://theathletic.com/football/team/wolverhampton-wanderers/) are also due to see shirt sponsorship agreements expire at the end of this season. [Aston Villa](https://theathletic.com/football/team/aston-villa/) have had a backlash from supporters after a proposed deal with online casino [BK8 — which was axed by Norwich in 2021 over sexually provocative adverts](https://theathletic.com/2643516/2021/06/10/norwichs-bk8-pr-disaster-was-an-embarrassment-for-a-club-used-to-the-moral-high-ground/) — became public earlier this month. [Manchester United](https://theathletic.com/football/team/manchester-united/) are in the market for a shirt sponsor after it was announced in December that [the club and TeamViewer, the German software firm, had agreed to curtail a deal due to run until 2026](https://theathletic.com/4006335/2022/12/15/man-utd-teamviewer-sponsor/). It is in the bottom half of the Premier League where partnerships with gambling firms figure most prominently. Manchester United’s deal with TeamViewer — which replaced Chevrolet before the 2021-22 season — was worth more than Chelsea’s arrangement with 3, and there will be ambitions to see greater sums recouped with a new long-term partnership. But doing those deals at the same time places a hell of a strain on the commercial team.” The cornerstone of a healthy portfolio of sponsors are your major assets that you want locked in for the long-term at premium value. Those figures will be viewed through cynical eyes by the European football establishment, but the pressure is on to maximise their own income. The marketing world expects a backer with links to Saudi Arabia after the Public Investment Fund takeover transformed life at St James’ Park, creating an untapped source of revenue for a club that trailed its rivals by a distance under Mike Ashley. Etihad, the UAE-based airline, is expected to continue its long partnership as shirt sponsor if something more lucrative cannot be found, but the water is being tested by the Premier League champions. [Chelsea](https://theathletic.com/football/team/chelsea/), the biggest spenders in January, have neither a front-of-shirt nor a sleeve sponsor for next season.

We simulated Tottenham vs Man City to get a Premier League score ... (Manchester Evening News)

Manchester City face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, so we simulated the game to predict the outcome.

In a dangerous position, the striker shot early, and his strike flew across Ederson and into the far corner to draw the game level. FIFA 23 predicts that in opposite fashion to their meeting earlier this season, City could sacrifice a 2-0 lead against Spurs, drawing 2-2 as their poor away record against the Lilywhites continued. Spurs came out in the second half a much-improved side, and the red flags started to appear for City when Dejan Kulusevski made it 2-1 with a long-range effort following some poor defending from Ake. Rather than shooting, Grealish squared the ball to Haaland who was in space, and with a first-time effort, the striker powered a strike past Lloris to send City ahead. And, the situation got even better for City before the break, with Rodri getting on the scoresheet to send his side into half-time 2-0 up. City dominated the first half in north London, with Jack Grealish and Ilkay Gundogan causing all sorts of problems down the left for Spurs.

Is Tottenham vs Man City on TV? Channel, kick-off time and live ... (Football.London)

Spurs can cut the gap between themselves and the Premier League top four this afternoon with victory over title chasing Manchester City.

Coverage of the game will begin at 1pm before Leeds vs Nottingham Forest. This fixture has historically provided Spurs with success, with City's last win in north London coming in 2015. However, Man City themselves have an added incentive for today's clash following Arsenal's 1-0 defeat to Everton. The right wing-back could be placed into the starting line-up immediately following Matt Doherty and Djed Spence's departures. Antonio Conte's side squandered a two-goal lead in Manchester over a fortnight ago but have won their following two games. [Tottenham](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/) return to Premier League this afternoon looking to gain revenge on Manchester City for last month's dramatic 4-2 defeat at the Etihad Stadium.

The Leeds man brings it down before lashing at goal, but Navas dives to his right to punch the ball away from danger and preserve his team's lead. Forest take a 1-0 lead into the break, but Leeds will be wondering how they are not at least level in this match. Recent results have improved, and Forest sit 14th in the table, but there remains only three points between themselves and the bottom three.

"We are not in the position to think about being champions, just the next game, Aston Villa. We played good, started well and missed maybe the last pass, to shoot." I’ve got plenty of goals to come, I’m feeling good. Not sure I’ve done that yet but my friends and family were here so it was a special time to do it." Harry Kane spoke to the BBC after his record-breaking goal: "My first ever Spurs goal was against Shamrock Rovers a long, long time ago, away from home.

To do it here against one of the best teams in the world, it’s a special feeling. Walker loses his head and just kicks Sessegnon after losing the ball. “When I started playing regularly, eight or nine years ago, it wasn’t even in my imagination to score 200 Premier League goals. “It was good, we created chances and it was difficult. Tottenham had led by two goals at halftime at City a few weeks ago only to capitulate and lose 4-2 but this time they held firm despite a late red card for Cristian Romero to boost their own hopes of finishing in the top four. When we lose balls in transitions it is more difficult.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Leeds: Premier League – as it happened (The Guardian)

Brennan Johnson's sweet first-half strike nabbed three points for Forest in a relegation six-pointer that Leeds largely dominated.

Williams tries to clear but only heads it into the path of Gnonto, who has space to advance on goal after the two Forest defenders went for the same ball. Leeds have a free kick that is lofted into the danger area from the Forest right. Surridge is on the move down the hosts’ left wing, and the Leeds goalie Meslier comes rushing out of goal to clear, but the Forest man was offside anyway. That looked completely “village” from Bamford but to be fair the ball took a little nick off a Forest leg on its way to him, so it was a difficult one to control. 51 min: Boly goes in the book for another cynical foul, a trip on Adams of Leeds. 53 min: Williams sprints into space down the middle and almost through on goal for Forest. The ball drops to Summerville on the edge of the box. 65 min: Now Gnonto loses the ball and Struijk soon fouls Johnson, who is haring through into space on the Forest right around halfway. But can Leeds snatch the goal, and the point, they they so clearly deserve? 77 min: Surridge threatens again on the left as Forest look to hit on the break. 84 min: Forest continue to keep their shape and keep Leeds at bay. And we got the three points in the end.

Tottenham vs Man City, Premier League live score: Kane breaks ... (Telegraph.co.uk)

Now it is Kane's turn to shoot and fire wide. 5:58PM. 68 mins: Spurs 1 Man City 0. Exciting ...

City came close to drawing level in first-half added time when the ball ran through to Riyad Mahrez, who took a touch and crashed a half-volley off the crossbar. It was set up for them to choose their moments to press and target Rodri and also, crucially, to break on the counter-attack. It helped that City continued to overplay, Guardiola throwing his arms up in exasperation as Haaland spurned the chance to shoot and instead picked out Jack Grealish, who came in for some rough challenges, but was not so well-placed. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg stole away possession and held off opponents before stabbing the ball to Kane, who struck it across Ederson and into the net. It was the first time since he joined City that Haaland did not have even a single attempt on goal, while he is yet to score away from the Etihad in 2023. Never before has a Harry Kane goal for Tottenham Hotspur been so celebrated across the whole of north London.

Premier League: Newcastle held at home by West Ham (Sportstar)

Callum Wilson raced clear to put Eddie Howe's team in front after three minutes, shortly after Joe Willock had a goal disallowed for the hosts.

“I think we stopped doing the things that brought us success, a few sloppy passes here and there. Willock seemed to have put Newcastle ahead but Miguel Almiron had just failed to keep the ball in play before crossing. Newcastle United failed to make the most of a dream start as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home to West Ham United that left them in fourth place in the Premier League on Saturday.

The new Forest keeper is called straight into action after Luis Sinisterra does very well to weave his way through the defence before stabbing a low finish across goal. Next to no chance for Ilan Meslier in the Leeds goal. The Whites just need to start creating some chances now. Navas though gets down low to make a crucial stop. He is understood to be good friends with Doughty's son Michael, himself a former professional footballer. 'I don't think it's taken too much reinforcement to say points are at a premium now. One minute your team looks to have the all clear, the next a defeat could leave them on the cusp of dropping into the relegation zone. 9min: Nervous old start for Forest - Leeds have them camped inside their own half right now.
