Yesterday's results & headlines
Manchester City lay down a marker before Wembley
Pep Guardiola's side eased to a comfortable 3-0 win away at Crystal Palace on , with goals from Antoine Semenyo, Omar Marmoush and Savinho. With the FA Cup final against Chelsea looming on Saturday, City rotated heavily and still controlled the contest from start to finish — an ominous sign for Enzo Maresca's side, who must now travel to Wembley with the form book firmly against them.
Dante Festival opens at York
Day one of the three-day Dante Festival on the Knavesmire produced its usual blend of high-class flat racing and big-priced winners. Conditions remained good despite earlier showers, and the meeting now turns to its showpiece card on Thursday with the Group 2 Middleton Stakes and the Group 2 Dante Stakes — the most important Derby trial of the season — taking centre stage.
Sinner extends Masters 1000 streak in Rome
World number one Jannik Sinner brushed aside Andrey Rublev 6-2, 6-4 at the Italian Open in Rome, his 32nd consecutive ATP Masters 1000 victory — a new Open Era record, surpassing Novak Djokovic's mark of 31 set in 2011. Sinner faces either Daniil Medvedev or Spanish teenager Martín Landaluce in the semi-finals.
PGA Championship under way at Aronimink
Round one of the 108th PGA Championship began under blue skies in Pennsylvania. American Stephan Jaeger set the early pace on four under par, with the marquee names of Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele still to make their way around a tricky Aronimink layout. The second men's major of the year runs through to Sunday.
Today's fixtures & previews
Horse racing — Dante Day at York
Five UK and Irish meetings are scheduled, with all eyes on York. The card builds towards two Group 2 contests:
. Last year's 12-length winner See The Fire is the headline name and returns as the obvious favourite.
. The Classic trial, with Feilden winner Morshdi and Ballysax winner Christmas Day both bringing strong claims for a race that has launched many a Derby winner.
Salisbury and Perth complete the British programme; the going at Salisbury is good, watered, with a small downgrade expected if the forecast showers materialise.
Football — quiet midweek before a huge weekend
There are no Premier League fixtures today. The action returns on Friday with Aston Villa v Liverpool (15:00 BST), before the full focus shifts to Wembley for Saturday's Emirates FA Cup final between Chelsea and Manchester City (15:00 BST). It is City's fourth FA Cup final in a row; Chelsea's first since 2022.
Tennis — Italian Open quarter and semi-finals
Action continues at the Foro Italico with the women's quarter-finals (including Coco Gauff against Sorana Cirstea) and the men's last-eight matches concluding ahead of Friday's semis. The clay-court swing is the final tune-up for Roland-Garros, which begins on 24 May.
Golf — PGA Championship round two
The cut at Aronimink will be made after Friday's round two, but Thursday's later starters — including the McIlroy–Scheffler–Schauffele super-group — set the tone for the major's opening half.
Cricket & rugby
The Rothesay County Championship is in a midweek break with the Vitality Blast launching over the late May Bank Holiday weekend. In rugby union, the Premiership play-off race is heading into its final round on Saturday.
Betting tips & odds analysis
18+ · Bet responsibly · BeGambleAware.org — Tips are the opinion of the Betfan editorial team, not guaranteed outcomes. Please gamble within your means and never chase losses.
See The Fire — 15:30 York, Middleton Stakes. The Ed Walker-trained mare produced a remarkable 12-length romp in this contest last season and has come back in good order this spring. Indicative odds around 11/8 (general). The price is short, but the form is hard to oppose.
Morshdi — 16:05 York, Dante Stakes (each-way). The extended 1m2f looks ideal for the Feilden winner, and the soft underfoot conditions earlier in the week have dried into a galloping good surface that should suit. Indicative odds 4/1 (general); each-way play is preferred given Christmas Day's strong claims.
Corolla Point — 14:20 York handicap (each-way). Beaten at Beverley last time but kept on willingly, and the step up to this trip on a flatter track should help. A lightly raced four-year-old who looks well treated off this mark. Indicative odds 8/1.
Manchester City to win the FA Cup (Saturday). City's display at Selhurst Park reaffirmed their depth and rhythm; Chelsea, for all their progress, struggled defensively in the semi-final. Indicative odds 4/6 (general). Not a generous price, but the case is strong.
Jannik Sinner — Italian Open outright. With the streak intact and the draw opening up, the Italian on home clay is an obvious favourite. Indicative odds around 4/5. Treat as a confidence play rather than a value bet.
Player news & injury updates
Arsenal eye Timber for Champions League final
Mikel Arteta is expected to rest Jurriën Timber through the final Premier League fixtures in order to have him fully available for the Champions League final against PSG in Budapest on 30 May. Ben White remains out for the season, while Mikel Merino is back doing fitness work on grass following foot surgery but has not yet returned to full training.
Liverpool: Konaté limped off, Salah and Alisson on the way back
Ibrahima Konaté came off during Liverpool's draw with Chelsea, with Arne Slot describing the issue as cramp rather than a more serious problem. Mohamed Salah is expected to return from the bench at Villa Park on Friday after a brief muscle issue, and Alisson Becker has rejoined training. Hugo Ekitike, however, is facing a long road back after rupturing his Achilles against PSG last month and is unlikely to feature again this calendar year.
Manchester United: Casemiro nearing a return
Casemiro missed United's trip to Sunderland but Michael Carrick has confirmed the Brazilian is back in training and should be available for the visit of Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Tottenham/Bournemouth: Gibbs-White doubt
Morgan Gibbs-White picked up a facial injury last week and remains a doubt for the weekend — a notable absence for fantasy managers and a meaningful loss for his side's late-season form.
