Kevin Mirallas put Ronald Koeman’s side ahead 51 minutes into a tightly contested but rather tepid encounter at the King Power Stadium, with slack defending from Wes Morgan and Marcin Wasilewski allowing the Belgian to net a third goal in his last three games against the champions. And the visitors put the match beyond all doubt in second-half stoppage time when Romelu Lukaku doubled the lead to wrap up the points....

The Foxes welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the King Power Stadium on Tuesday - first of nine games in all competitions before 2018. Huddersfield Town’s visit on New Year’s Day wraps up the hectic schedule. And the 20-year-old who has played in all 13 of Leicester’s English Premier League fixtures is set for the season-determining period. “I am looking forward to it,” Ndidi told LCFC TV. “Some players may feel fatigued, but it is the time of year when we have to do our best and get as many points as we can....

The 30-year-old’s contract with Leicester expires at the end of the month, giving Huddersfield the opportunity to boost their options in goal. Hamer made four Premier League appearances in 2017-18 but has struggled to displace Kasper Schmeichel in his time at the King Power Stadium. The goalkeeper signs on a three-year deal with the club holding an option for a fourth year. Hamer appeared just nine times for the Foxes last year but should provide competition for Huddersfield starter Jonas Lossl....

A chaotic postfight scene in Nottingham, England, saw the celebrations immediately turn to concerns for Conlan, who was rushed to the hospital. He has since been confirmed as “conscious and stable.” Wood came into the bout off the back of a surprise victory over Can Xu at Matchroom Fight Camp last summer. He became a world champion there with a 12th-round stoppage. Conlan, meanwhile, last fought a week after Wood’s impressive win, beating TJ Doheny in his native Belfast to claim the interim title....

The Gunners were reported to have bid £92 million for the France international on Thursday in a deal that would have paved the way for Alexis Sanchez to join Manchester City. Monaco 7/1 to win Ligue 1 But Arsenal could not get the transfer over the line and Wenger has now revealed that it was Lemar’s decision to remain in the principality. “The player has chosen to stay in Monaco,” Wenger told beIN Sports....

Leon sits on the outside looking into the top eight, but that could change this weekend with a win over the struggling Monarcas. The playoff race is looking increasingly complicated as we enter the final month of action, but there’s a tried and true formula to getting into the postseason - continuing to win. After starting the season with four defeats and a draw, the Guanajuato outfit has turned things around, bringing a six-match undefeated streak into Saturday night’s contest....

But it’s a question that probably will go unanswered for quite some time now. On Wednesday, the Edmonton Oilers signed Draisaitl, a restricted free agent, to an eight-year, $68 million deal. It was a max-term extension, matching the eight-year deal Edmonton gave McDavid earlier this summer. MORE: 2018 Stanley Cup Odds: McDavid, Oilers gaining ground on Crosby, Penguins In the NHL, production speaks the loudest at the negotiating table. Draisaitl is coming off a career year, establishing new highs in goals (29), assists (48) and points (77)....

Leon Panetta is one of four former defense secretaries at the top of the list of 89 signatures backing the letter which accuses Trump of using “inflammatory language” in the unrest caused by the death in custody of George Floyd. The letter published in The Washington Post describes Trump’s pledge to send active-duty members of the military to “dominate” protesters, whether local mayors or state governors wanted him to or not as a “shocking promise....

But this is Mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s New York, where it doesn’t take much to draw the attention of cops. This is old news for New Yorkers. They know all about Hizzonor’s banning homeless squeegee men from approaching drivers and offering to clean their windshields. He’s cracked down on street vendors and sent police into neighborhoods to enforce petty ordinances against everything from jaywalking to tree climbing. While the crackdown has been controversial, I can’t say I haven’t benefited....

My 10- and 12-year-old sons are immersed in this sea of dissonance, hearing about a terrible new war and worried that they will have to fight it. At their Roman Catholic school in Chicago, they join their classmates in heartfelt prayers for peace. Then they come home to watch President George W. Bush explain the need to drop bombs on Taliban targets. Squaring entreaties to God with the horrors of warfare is a treacherous minefield for parents: this sounds suspiciously like the same fanatical rationale that religious extremists cheerfully embrace....

Put it this way: in Hollywood the only difference between summer and the rest of the year is that in summer, when we drive with the car top down, we also have the air conditioner on. For real people (defined as “those who do not work in or around the 310 telephone area code”), the ideal of summer is like fun itself. It’s hard-wired into their brains the moment they have their first Sno-Cone, or hear their first ice-cream truck, or smell the distinct scent of chlorine, Coppertone and hamburger....

Hear the cry of the all-American heterosexual male, who’s at a bit of a loss these days. Apparently it’s not enough anymore to drink Bud, weigh 250 pounds, grow body hair, make sexist jokes and cook exclusively on a grill, if he cooks at all. A new species of man has emerged, the so-called metrosexual. You may have read about him in the New York papers. He gets manicures and pedicures on Saturday nights; he shops till he drops; he conditions his curls, and he watches “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”–the TV hit wherein five gays make over average Sloppy Joes–and actually picks up its tips....

As the Rest of the World Rises Thanks for the May 12 excerpt from Fareed Zakaria’s book “The Post-American World.” It’s the most understandable thing I’ve read that puts globalization into perspective. Reading it was like going to the doctor with an undiagnosed ache, and having him tell you why you hurt and that you’ll probably feel better in the morning. I’m going out now to buy the book. David Lebo New Cumberland, Pa....

The Blaugrana thrashed Valladolid 5-1 on Tuesday to remain one point clear of Real Madrid and two ahead of Atletico Madrid and Granada. With last week’s El Clasico against Real Madrid postponed because of political tension in Catalonia, Barcelona had 10 days to prepare for the visit of Valladolid and were never in any danger. Kiko Olivas cancelled out Clement Lenglet’s early opener, before Lionel Messi took control of the game....

Pogba predicts who will top Messi & Ronaldo Cezary Kucharski claims the Polish striker could have earned in excess of €40 million (£34m) a year by moving to the Chinese Super League - making him the world’s highest-paid player ahead of Carlos Tevez, who recently joined Shanghai Shenhua. But Lewandowski instead signed a new deal with Bayern in December that has tied him to the German club until 2021....

Freedom Celebration in Freedom Square In the area around the regional administration building, the blue-and-yellow Ukrainian flag was omnipresent — fluttering in the breeze, stenciled onto the exterior of buildings, or worn as a cape by citizens simply walking the street. Only four days prior, the Russian tricolor still dominated this space. Now Kherson residents are confident that it will never return. Russian Billboards Still Proclaim Kherson is Russian ‘Forever’ Less than two months ago, after a “referendum” that featured armed men forcing residents to participate at gunpoint, Russia declared that Kherson would be under the Kremlin’s control “forever....

The right-back remains a first-team regular in Serie A this season having made 13 appearances, thanks to injuries from summer signings Mattia De Sciglio and Benedikt Howedes, but his commitment to the Turin side comes to an end in June. Goal understands that while the 33-year-old would like to extend his stay with the Bianconeri, the feeling isn’t mutual among the Juve board. Lichtsteiner, who would be eligible to sign a pre-contract with a new club in January, recently had contact with Valencia about a potential move, though those talks have stalled....

That’s a pretty broad term, though, and the very thought can be overwhelming. What do you need to change? How much do you need to change? Where should you start? The thing to do is break it down into manageable parts. Once you start identifying aspects of your life that may be contributing to your symptoms, you can start making positive changes. Everyone’s life is different, and every case of FMS or ME/CFS is different, so there’s no one-size-fits-all approach....
