Centre-back David Luiz could come up against Chelsea for the first time since he left on Sunday when Lampard’s men visit Emirates Stadium for Mikel Arteta’s first home game in charge of the Gunners. Arteta’s predecessor Unai Emery brought David Luiz across London back in August, the 32-year-old sold just a month after Lampard took over at Chelsea. The emergence of Fikayo Tomori – who won his first England cap last month – and Kurt Zouma’s form has meant Chelsea do not appear to have not missed David Luiz, though his old team-mate Lampard was unwilling to make such declarations ahead of the latest London derby....

Arsenal went into the game at Craven Cottage in confident mood after a run of five straight league victories and took the lead after 29 minutes when Lacazette started and finished a sweeping move. He fed Alex Iwobi on the left before latching on to a cross from Nacho Monreal and turning to drive the ball low into the net. Fulham, the only top-flight side without a clean sheet this season, leveled 15 minutes later when Monreal needlessly gave the ball away and Andre Schuerrle dinked the ball over Bernd Leno as the goalkeeper rushed out....

Collison, who had been reconsidering his time away from basketball, decided this weekend he wasn’t ready to return to the game. Los Angeles, then, is left with few options to improve ahead of the postseason, where it will likely need to overcome the Clippers to reach the NBA Finals. One player the Lakers are reportedly now considering is Dion Waiters, who was exiled by the Heat earlier this season for his off-court conduct, traded to the Grizzlies and then waived on Sunday....

A loss for Santiago Solari’s Real Madrid also meant that the Catalan outfit would boast a 10 point lead over them. Getafe had a chance to move into contention for the Europa League spot following Real Betis’s shock defeat to Huesca. In what was a surprising decision, Ernesto Valverde rested Sergio Busquets and Nelson Semedo for the game. Phillipe Coutinho continued to start from the bench. Arthur started in the midfield along with Vidal and Rakitic....

The defeat all but guarantees that Real Madrid would finish the season without domestic silverware, with their only realistic hope of a trophy coming in the Champions League, where they would attempt to win the title for a record-breaking fourth consecutive time. For Barcelona on the other hand, it takes them one step closer to successfully defending the domestic double they won last year, while they are also on track for a unique treble....

Jackson, the reigning NFL MVP, entered the concussion protocol and eventually was ruled out of Saturday night’s AFC divisional round playoff game after Bills defenders sent him crashing to the turf in the closing seconds of the third quarter.

Luis Suarez opened the scoring for the away side with an outrageous chip before Chelsea loanee Jeremie Boga equalised for the relegation-threatened outfit. Barcelona looked to be in a spot of bother but goals from Paco Alcacer, a deflected strike by Ivan Rakitic and a volley from Neymar helped them get the 3 points and pile further misery on the 19th placed team. Here are the major talking points from the La Liga encounter:...
