Find out how to watch Liverpool vs. Wolves on Sunday.

Liverpool plays at Anfield for the last time this decade when it hosts the Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday. The Premier League leaders are unbeaten in 35 top-flight games ahead of Week 20. Jurgen Klopp’s outfit underlined its title bid with an emphatic 4-0 win away to second place Leicester City on Boxing Day and are in search of a 10th successive league win when the team faces the Wolves.

Nuno Espirito Santo has only beaten the Reds once in three meetings since he took over the Wolves in 2017--a 2-1 home victory in last season’s FA Cup third round. The Portuguese manager led the Wolves to a 2-0 win away to Manchester City in October and an amazing 3-2 come from behind victory on Friday vs. City in which Matt Doherty scored in the 89th minute. The Wolves are fifth in the Premier League midway through the campaign and are unbeaten in five away games across all competitions (four in league).

Liverpool has won its last three matches at Anfield across all competitions, but Klopp’s men haven’t dropped a point at home in the league since January. The Reds have won 16 straight top-flight games on Merseyside, scoring at least twice in each of those fixtures.

Sunday’s host can temporarily extend its Premier League lead to 16 points with a win in Week 20, which is all the more impressive considering the team still boasts one game in hand.

The Wolves haven’t won a league game at Anfield since December 2010—their only league victory at the ground in 35 years—but hope to end Liverpool’s unrelenting march against the odds.

Roberto Firmino scored twice in Thursday’s win at Leicester and is hoping to score in the fourth straight game for Liverpool. He has seven goals across all competitions this campaign.

Meanwhile, Raul Jimenez has more than twice as many league goals (seven) as any other Wolves player this term, while Diogo Jota is hoping to build on a run of five goals in his last four games.

Ranking the top 80 players in the 2021 NBA draft with the NCAA tournament in the rearview. View the original article to see embedded media. With three months until draft night and the NBA’s regular season winding down , the league at large has begun shifting full focus to the off-season. Players have until May 30 to declare as early entrants for the draft, after which point the predraft process will open up in full, leading up to the combine and lottery at the end of June . Our Big Board is long overdue for an update, and fully expanded out to 80 prospects as we all attempt to make sense of the big picture moving forward. As usual, the Big Board is primarily based on my personal evaluations from both live viewings and on film, in many cases dating back several years. The rankings also incorporate feedback and opinions I glean from NBA executives, scouts, and others around the industry. This is not a mock draft, and team fit is not considered, but it is also intended to be somewhat

New on Sports Illustrated: The Patriots’ Post-Brady Era Begins Now

In Mac Jones, Bill Belichick drafted a Round 1 quarterback for the first time ever—and looks to usher in a return to dominance. Of course the first time Bill Belichick drafts a first-round quarterback, it’s one for whom he could get an unvarnished scouting report from good buddy Nick Saban —and without even having to do any draft-day maneuvering. Now, the post-Tom Brady era in New England really begins. The Patriots treated 2020 as something of a gap year, with a league-high eight opt-outs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a starting quarterback, Cam Newton, who didn't sign with the team until June. They were, for the first time in two decades, mediocre, but that 7–9 record bought them the ticket to a fresh start: the No. 15 pick, which they used Thursday night on Alabama QB Mac Jones. The oft-cited statistic that Belichick had never drafted a QB higher than pick No. 62—used on Jimmy Garoppolo in 2014—was inherently flawed, given that Belichick had Brady as a starter for 19 of
