Manchester City currently sits at fifth place in the table, holding a 3-3-1 record and having drawn two, won two, and lost one of their last five contests. Usually known as a “Big Three” team (along with opponents Arsenal and Chelsea), City is now being forced to chart new waters as they struggle to solve their problem with inconsistent performances. City is either dominating their competition, as they did in an 8-1 win over Bristol City in early November, or squandering leads to draw as they did in a recent contest against Manchester United. For City to remain competitive in the race for a top-three finish, Sunday’s match is a must-win.

City’s last contest took place during the group stage of the Continental Cup, as they faced off against Manchester United. After ending regular time deadlocked at 0-0, the match required a penalty shootout to decide its winner, though each team received a point given the draw in full time. Unfortunately for City, Laura Coombs’s penalty kick was saved by United goalkeeper Emily Ramsey and Alex Greenwood’s attempt ricocheted off of the crossbar, leading to victory for United, 4-3. Though City was unable to clinch the win in penalties, the point was enough to progress the squad to the next round of Conti Cup play.

A point means we progress! ????

As for Everton, the squad has also drawn two, won two, and lost one of their last five matches, with only one win granting them an edge over Manchester City. A loss in Sunday’s contest could mean a demotion into fifth place, which makes the match against City one of the utmost importance.

Everton has yet to defeat their opponent this year, losing by a score of 3-1 in three contests against Manchester City since January 11th. Like City, Everton’s most recent match also took place in the group stage of the Continental Cup, in which the Blues defeated Liverpool 1-0 to secure the Merseyside Derby. Izzy Christiansen notched the game-winning goal in the fifth minute before her squad held on to walk away with the victory.

The last meeting between the two teams took place during the FA Cup Final, which saw Manchester City take home yet another piece of hardware with a 3-1 win over the Blues. Despite a standout performance from Everton goalkeeper Alexandra MacIver, goals from Sam Mewis, Georgia Stanway, and Janine Beckie propelled City to victory. Valérie Gauvin recorded the goal for Everton, battling back from an injury at the beginning of the match to get the Blues on the board, but ultimately it was City who persevered to see the victory through.

This feeling. ????????

Despite a few shocking upsets in the early rounds of the 2025 NCAA soccer tournament, the ACC has retained its status as the conference to beat, with the powerhouse sending three teams to this season's College Cup semifinals on Friday.

With two tickets to Monday's national championship match on the line, four-time title-winners and No. 3-seed Florida State will take on College Cup debutants TCU in Friday's first semi, with the No. 2 Horned Frogs booking their semifinals spot by ousting fellow SEC standout No. 1 Vanderbilt 2-1 last Saturday.

The nightcap, on the other hand, will be an all-ACC affair, as No. 2 Duke continues their hunt for a first-ever national title against the tournament's overall No. 1 seed, Stanford.

The three-time NCAA champ Cardinal has been unstoppable, outscoring their opponents 21-5 across the tournament's first four rounds to set up a season-first matchup with the Blue Devils.

The 2025 College Cup will take place for the first time at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, home of the NWSL's Kansas City Current.

Playa Society is honoring the 25th anniversary of the classic sports film "Love & Basketball" this week, with the popular women's basketball outfitter dropping a capsule collection entitled "First Quarter: Ball Better Than You" — an homage to one of the film's iconic quotes.

"This is a love story, about our love for 'Love & Basketball,'" notes Playa Society about the collection. "Our love for [lead character] Monica, who served as the first representation of an unapologetic female athlete in film. Our love for [writer and director] Gina Prince-Bythewood for her persistence in delivering culture and truth. And our love for the energy of it all that inspired Playa Society to fill in the gaps for women in sports."

"I am so humbled by the enduring impact of the film on both ballers and non-athletes, who are inspired by characters who believe in themselves enough to fight for an impossible dream," Prince-Bythewood said of the project.

With New York Liberty teammates and girlfriends Natasha Cloud and Izzy Harrison serving as models, the "First Quarter" collection includes T-shirts, hoodies, and more.

This week's drop is just the first in the works between Prince-Bythewood and Playa Society founder Esther Wallace, with the LA Sentinel describing their collaboration as "blending nostalgia, culture, and women's sports in a way that honors the film while pushing the narrative forward."

The inaugural North American iteration of World Sevens Football (W7F) kicks off in Fort Lauderdale on Friday, when eight standout clubs will battle for three days for the the largest share of the 7v7 competition's $5 million prize pool.

All eight clubs boast championship backgrounds, including the reigning NWSL Shield-winning Kansas City Current, 2023 NWSL Shield-winners San Diego Wave, Liga MX Femenil Apertura winner Tigres UANL, current Northern Super League Shield-winner AFC Toronto, and more.

This weekend's edition is the second-ever W7F tournament, after the new venture launched with a Europe-centric competition in Portugal last May, crowning Bayern Munich as its debut champions.

In W7F, the 11v11 clubs instead field seven players per side on a pitch half the size of a regulation field, with matches comprised of two 15-minute halves along with smaller goals, no offside rule, and rolling substitutions throughout the games.

All eight clubs will compete in the group stage on Friday and Saturday, with the top four teams advancing to Sunday's knockout rounds.

All games, including Sunday's 4:30 PM ET championship match, will air live on HBO Max as well we either TNT or truTV.

The SEC displayed its basketball dominance on Thursday's courts, as the conference won all four of the 2025 ACC/SEC Challenge Day 2 matchups to feature at least one Top-25 team.

No. 2 Texas handled No. 11 North Carolina 79-64 while No. 3 South Carolina and No. 13 Ole Miss survived nail-biters against No. 22 Louisville and No. 18 Notre Dame, respectively.

"I thought [our players] got out and made big plays for themselves in the fourth and building the five-point lead," said South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley. "It was a turning point for us, whether we were going to succumb to losing the game or fight to get back in it."

No one had a better night than No. 5 LSU, however, as the Tigers faced their season's first Power Four opponent to a 93-77 result over unranked Duke, erasing a 14-point deficit behind six double-digit LSU scorers — led by 18 points from star guard Flau'jae Johnson.

"We scored 93 tonight, and look how poor we played in the first quarter. We were behind. Scoring the ball is not going to be a problem," said Tigers head coach Kim Mulkey. "Our problem is we have to just continue to get better on the defensive end and take care of the ball."

Across the 16 total 2025 ACC/SEC Challenge games, the SEC took 13 victories, with only unranked Syracuse, Virginia Tech, and SMU earning ACC wins — over Auburn, Florida, and Arkansas, respectively — this week.
