Jack Wilshere is determined to deliver the EFL Cup for Arsenal on Sunday, as he still holds painful memories of their 2010-11 final defeat to Birmingham City.
Arsenal were huge favourites ahead of the Wembley decider seven years ago, but Obafemi Martins 89th-minute winner following a mix-up between Wojciech Szczesny and Laurent Koscielny secured an unlikely Blues win.
Wilshere, who played in that match, is now hoping to go one better against Premier League leaders Manchester City in a competition Arsene Wenger has never won.
In 2011, we were expected to win and I was convinced we were going to win and come home with silverware, he told Sky Sports.
I think it helps as you grow up in football. You get more experience in these [situations]. I know we didn …

The NFC South’s 1-0 teams will collide on Sunday in Week 2, with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers heading to the Big Easy to take on the New Orleans Saints.
Brady and Tampa strolled past a lethargic Cowboys outfit last week to begin their final ride together with a win, while New Orleans required a little Jameis magic — and an ugly Atlanta collapse — to put its hated rivals to bed.
The Buccaneers vs. Saints should be an excellent game between two well-rounded teams — check out our best NFL player prop picks for Tampa and New Orleans, ahead of Week 2.

The Aaron Rodgers era officially begins for the New York Jets on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills. It may not be a long era, but combining the future Hall-of-Famer with the already potent Jets defense could be a recipe for success in New York.
The Rodgers signing was the biggest move of the NFL offseason. We didn’t get to see much of the new quarterback in the preseason, but what we did see of Rodgers was impressive enough, and Week 1 odds feature a variety of Aaron Rodgers-related markets for their Week 1 tilt against Buffalo.
You can see how I’m betting on the Jets quarterback as we examine the MNF odds in my free NFL picks below.

As everyone is winding down from a day of stuffing themselves with turkey and watching Thanksgiving classics like the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys, they can also enjoy a nightcap featuring an NFC West heavyweight showdown.
While the Seattle Seahawks are just one game back of the San Francisco 49ers in the division, NFL Week 12 odds have the red and gold as seven-point road favorites. A large reason why has to be Kyle Shanahan’s X-factor… Christian McCaffrey.

The NFL heads back to London for the second consecutive week when the Jacksonville Jaguars take on the Chicago Bears.

Harry Winks has agreed a new Tottenham contract, signing an extension that will keep him at the Premier League club until 2023.
Winks, who has been restricted to nine Premier League starts this season and has not played in 2018 due to injury, won his first England cap last year.
The 22-year-old came through the Spurs youth system and has reportedly been given the nickname Little Iniesta by Mauricio Pochettino.
Winks will now undergo ankle surgery but is expected to be fit to return in time for pre-season ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.
We are delighted to announce that has signed a new contract with the Club, which will run until 2023.

Ollie Watkins was the hero as England booked their place in the Euro 2024 final with a last-gasp 2-1 victory over the Netherlands in Dortmund.
The Aston Villa forward climbed off the bench to strike a 90th-minute winner in Dortmund, where the Three Lions set up a showdown with Spain in Sunday’s final.
The contest appeared set to head into extra time after Harry Kane s penalty cancelled out Xavi Simons impressive long-range strike.
However, there was to be a 90th-minute twist when Watkins drilled past Bart Verbruggen to send Gareth Southgate s side through to their second successive Euros showpiece.
And then there were two.
