    Troy Deeney’s Team of the Week: Erling Haaland, Rayan Cherki, Joao Pedro and Bruno Fernandes

    Players praised for standout performances across the Premier League

    Recent Premier League performances have drawn strong praise, with analysts highlighting influential displays from James McAtee, Bruno Fernandes, Rayan Cherki, Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa.

    James McAtee earns praise after Nottingham Forest display

    He absolutely ran the game at Anfield from start to finish. Getting on the ball in the pockets, half-turn, playing forward. He was the reason they were any good, and he’s very, very good, but won’t be spoken about in the same breath as the goalscorers.

    Bruno Fernandes continues to lead Manchester United

    There’s not much more to say. Captain Fantastic, three goals, an assist, and nearly scored from the halfway line. Where would Manchester United be without him? Relegated is the answer.

    Rayan Cherki stands out for Manchester City

    My favourite player in world football to watch. Amazing the way he’s gifted with the ball, the way he manipulates the ball, and also the way he’s able to think for himself. And I just like the fact he’s carefree. He just wants to play football, so that’s great.

    Anthony Elanga enjoying new momentum at Newcastle

    Back-to-back weeks, another great goal, another great performance. Just looks like he’s had another lease of life under this manager. And I wonder whether we’re going to see the Elanga that we saw at Nottingham Forest, just terrorising defences with that pace. But also, before he even gets there, they’re just worried about what he can do.

    Yoane Wissa’s impact highlighted at Newcastle

    I had to shoehorn him in because ultimately he’s been great through the middle, but the two strikers have actually scored more and played better than him. But Wissa’s a massive part of why Newcastle have done well, although he’s not being talked about enough in terms of the application that he puts in. So much so, that Woltemade could be sold. That’s how much of a good job Wissa has done.

  • NYT Connections Sports Edition Today: Hints and Answers for August 28, 2026

    NYT Connections Sports Edition Today: Hints and Answers for August 28, 2026

    Today’s Connections: Sports Edition puzzle should be easier for baseball fans. The daily sports word game, created by The New York Times in partnership with The Athletic, challenges players to find the common threads between words.

    Like Wordle, Connections: Sports Edition resets after midnight, with a new set of increasingly difficult words each day. If you want to solve the puzzle yourself, the hints and strategies below can help. If you prefer to see the solution, you’ll find today’s answers at the end of the article.

    What is Connections: Sports Edition?

    Connections: Sports Edition is a daily word game available on web browsers and mobile devices. Players must divide 16 words into four groups of four, with each group sharing a common connection.

    The categories can include anything from player statistics and team names to schools, countries, and other sports-related references. Although several words may appear to fit together, only one grouping is correct.

    Correctly identify all four words in a category and they will be removed from the board. A wrong guess counts as a mistake, and players can make up to four mistakes before the game ends.

    Players can rearrange and shuffle the board to make the connections easier to spot. The categories are also color-coded by difficulty: yellow is the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. As with Wordle, players can share their results on social media.

    Here are clues for today’s four categories without revealing the answers:

    • Yellow: Slugging
