Jose Mourinho Vows To End Liverpool's Unbeaten Run In The League

-

Spurs manager Jose Mourinho would love to be the one who ends Liverpool's year-long unbeaten run in the Premier League, and Saturday's game could be closer than the standings suggest. The late match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be the first between Jurgen Klopp's men and a Mourinho side since Manchester United dismissed the Portuguese after a 3-1 defeat at Anfield in December 2018. "Don't sack Mourinho," the crowd chorused mockingly during that 2018 humiliation, so revenge in North London would be sweet. Spurs have been shockingly leaky, and some are expecting a classic demonstration of Mourinho's bus-parking expertise in defence and a few tactical tricks. 

The match could still be an awkward trip for the visiting Reds who beat Tottenham in last year's Champions League final and have a near-perfect record of 58 points out of 60 this season to sit 13 points clear at the top. Mourinho, who replaced the sacked Pochettino at Spurs in November, has only twice been on the winning side against Klopp in their 10 previous games as opponents. To do it again, Tottenham will have to rise to the challenge without injured captain Harry Kane. Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp suggested it could still be a lot closer than the 28-point gap between Liverpool and sixth-placed Spurs, who have kept only two clean sheets this season. Second-placed Leicester City host Southampton on Saturday.

The Foxes thrashed the Saints 9-0, the biggest ever top-flight away win in English soccer, in the reverse fixture in October but Southampton have tightened up considerably since that humiliation, conceding only 13 goals in 11 games. Four more goals for Leicester would set another record, however, as the most one club has put past another in the league. Leicester have top-scoring striker Jamie Vardy back in action, with the England international turning 33 on Saturday, after he missed three matches with a calf problem but centre-back Wes Morgan is out with a groin injury. Third-placed champions Manchester City, looking for a fifth win in a row in all competitions, travel to relegation-threatened Aston Villa on Sunday. Chelsea, fourth, are at home to Burnley while Manchester United, fifth and without injured defender Harry Maguire, host bottom side Norwich City.

Photo by: Illustrations Marta Pantaleo In Silicon Valley, techies are swooning over tarot-card readers. In New York, you can hook up to a “detox” IV at a lounge. In the Midwest, the Neurocore Brain Performance Center markets brain training for everything from ADHD, anxiety, and depression to migraines, stress, autism-spectrum disorder, athletic performance, memory, and cognition. And online, companies like Goop promote “8 Crystals For Better Energy” and a detox-delivery meal kit, complete with “nutritional supplements, probiotics, detox and beauty tinctures, and beauty and detox teas.” Across the country, everyone is looking for a cure for what ails them, which has led to a booming billion-dollar industry—what I’ve come to call the Wellness Industrial Complex.

Teigen posted a heartbreaking photo of herself in a hospital room, sitting on the edge of a bed with tears streaming down her face. In the caption, she announced that the couple’s son had died. “We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before,” Teigen wrote. “We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough.” Teigen wrote that she and Legend had not previously decided on their children’s names until after they were born; still, for some reason, the couple referred to the unborn child as “Jack.” ...
