Alabama routs Michigan St 38-0; heads to title game
The music resonated through the fourth-largest crowd in Cotton Bowl history, about 60 percent of which was Crimson-clad. Tide linebacker Tim Williams got the same vibe from Michigan State’s offensive line in the third quarter.

“The Premier League this season is unusual”.


Manning returns to practice, but Osweiler still the starter
Manning was benched for Osweiler after a disastrous two-and-a-half quarters against the Chiefs where he threw four interceptions. Manning will finally be back in uniform after missing the last six games because of a torn plantar fascia in his left foot.

New Italian boss Ranieri, 64, has hailed their feats after collecting 39 points and just two defeats at the halfway stage of the campaign. With both Chelsea and City identifying the 28-year-old as a target that would boost their own forward lines, Leicester have had to reconsider their wage structure. That is the same haul as Leicester, Crystal Palace, Watford, WestHamand Southampton. They are eighth, after stitching up four wins on the trot.


Bucks’ Mayo says Warriors’ Green disrespected Carter-Williams
The Warriors gave up 70 in a half because the Bucks shot it well, particularly guards Khris Middleton and Carter-Williams. Green had 21 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, willing the Warriors to a win that improved their record to 26-1.

Leicester City started the 2015 calendar year in last place in the Premier League.

Leicester now sit level on points with Arsenal at the top of the table, and with Mahrez and Vardy having been so impressive they have attracted attention from a host of “bigger” clubs.

“We’ve had a fantastic half-season, it’s unbelievable what we are doing and we must continue”.

With Nicolas Otamendi and Eliaquim Mangala yet to keep a clean sheet prior to Tuesday, some City fans may have feared the worst facing the league’s joint-highest scorers without their captain.

Pellegrini said: “I don’t divide games that we play into home and away”. Sterling saw two shots after that being parried away by Kasper who succeeded in fending off the former’s decent go with his strong left arm to tip it over the net.

The Argentinian striker cut a forlorn figure at times at the King Power Stadium and was still obviously short of match sharpness, although Pellegrini expects his talisman to hit top form again soon.

And before Saturday’s visit of a Bournemouth side more focused on the battle against relegation, Leicester skipper Morgan said: “We have something to be proud of”.

Pellegrini was not so disappointed with the result, saying as the premiership race gets tighter that “if you can not win, it’s important not to lose”.

Meanwhile Claudio Ranieri took pride in his player’s reaction after losing against Liverpool on Boxing Day, their first away defeat this season: “We played well, we created some chances”.

“My focus is on [Saturday’s opponents] Bournemouth”, he stated.
