Kante has regularly been deployed to the right of central playmaker Jorginho during the first few months of Sarri’s time in charge, despite having thrived in a role as a defensive midfielder under Antonio Conte and at Leicester City. The 27-year-old has been encouraged to become more involved in Chelsea’s attack but only has a goal and an assist to his name from 13 Premier League appearances.

On Friday, Lake told supporters to keep their eyes peeled for news that is set to arrive only days before an appeal of her election lawsuit is set to be heard by the Arizona Appeals Court on February 1....

In Lake’s suit filed this month against Governor-elect Katie Hobbs and state election officials, the Republican argues that the election results should be “set aside” due to voting irregularities, demanding a recount or that she is called the winner. Hobbs, who serves as Arizona’s secretary of state, won the election by just over 17,000 votes, and requested that Lake’s lawsuit be dismissed. On Monday, Maricopa County Judge Peter Thompson threw out a majority of Lake’s argument, stating that her accusations lacked proper evidence....

Malone, of course, was a key cog in Utah’s back-to-back championship series appearances, creating a dynamic pick-and-roll combo with John Stockton. He won MVP in the 1996-97 and 1998-99 seasons.

Trump hasn’t ruled out making another bid for the White House in 2024, and he retains a significant following that puts him at the top of the list of Republican contenders.
