Liverpool have a psychological advantage in the title race and can truly stake their claim as favourites by capitalising on their rivals' weaknesses over the coming weeks in the Premier League , Reds expert David Lynch has argued. Following Manchester City 's devastating 4-0 loss against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday , Arne Slot 's Merseysiders have the chance to extend their lead over the champions to eight points when they face Southampton at St Mary's stadium on Sunday . Victory would also see the Reds go nine points ahead of Arsenal , who beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 on Saturday afternoon. Liverpool are set to host Pep Guardiola 's side at Anfield on December 1, and Lynch believes that Slot's team have the opportunity to put significant pressure on their rivals, telling Sports Mole : "[Liverpool will] be thinking that they can extend the lead because City and Arsenal are wobbling. "If you can just keep your noses in front at all times, it gives you that extra confidence and it also puts the scoreboard pressure on your title rivals. "It starts to come to the point where Liverpool can relax. [They've] got this gap, [they're] not playing under massive pressure. [They] can play [their] football and be open and take risks at times, whereas Manchester City and Arsenal, if [they] drop points again, [they're] done, [they're] out of it. There's a psychological element that will play on the other title rivals." Interestingly, despite boasting a remarkable 28 points from a possible 33, Liverpool collected the same number of points from the corresponding fixtures in 2023-24. The Reds have scored 19 goals and conceded on six occasions under Slot in their games against the teams Jurgen Klopp 's side faced last season, and though they have conceded four goals fewer, they have also scored seven fewer as well. While some might point to those statistics and suggest that Liverpool could yet slip up in the title race this term, it is important to note that the Reds are performing considerably better in several other underlying metrics. For instance, Liverpool faced 1.2 xG per 90 in 2023-24 but have only faced 0.85 per 90 this campaign, and this figure is the best in the entire division. Lynch expressed his belief to Sports Mole that fans should not necessarily be surprised by the position that the Reds find themselves in, saying: "Liverpool were very good last season. People forget they were top of the table after 30 games. "I think because of the way it panned out in the end people forget they were involved in the title race. It almost gets talked about as if it was just Arsenal and Manchester City. "[Liverpool] were doing a bit of a high wire act at times [in 2023-24]: 'we'll score four, you score three' approach to games, and that was quite tiring for them. So being on par with last season is no bad thing." Should Liverpool defeat Southampton and win against City at Anfield in the following matchweek, then they would be 11 points clear of Guardiola's side after just 13 games. The Merseysiders are the only team to have won a league title other than the Citizens in the past seven seasons, ending the 2019-20 campaign on 99 points, 18 ahead of City. Every time Guardiola's side have participated in a competitive title race, his team have come out on top, and perhaps Slot's best chance of overcoming his Spanish counterpart would be to build an unassailable lead. Arsenal could yet re-enter the race, especially given they have already played several of the league's best away from home, but it would likely take a near-perfect season from now on for the Gunners to finish first. Lynch highlighted his belief that should Liverpool avoid dropping points against opponents that they would normally be expected to beat, then winning the Premier League is a distinct possibility considering the early advantage the Reds have over their rivals. When speaking about the position the club find themselves in, Lynch told Sports Mole : "[Liverpool] have got to avoid [dropping points] towards the end [of the season]. "It's a Liverpool side that's going to pick up an awful lot of points, and again, the upside is that you see a Manchester City and Arsenal that are unable to match what they did last season. "If that theme continues throughout the season, then Liverpool will, I'm not going to say run away with it, but they'll be right up there and should probably win it." Sports Mole editor Barney Corkhill spoke with Liverpool expert David Lynch to discuss Liverpool's next set of fixtures, and the advantages that they hold over Manchester City and Arsenal.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks climbed Thursday after market superstar Nvidia and another round of companies said they’re making even fatter profits than expected. The S&P 500 pulled 0.5% higher after flipping between gains and losses several times during the day. Banks, smaller companies and other areas of the stock market that tend to do best when the economy is strong helped lead the way, while bitcoin briefly broke above $99,000. Crude oil, meanwhile, continued to rise. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 461 points, or 1.1%, and the Nasdaq composite edged up by less than 0.1%. Nvidia rose just 0.5% after beating analysts’ estimates for profit and revenue yet again, but it was still the strongest force pulling the S&P 500 upward. It also gave a forecast for revenue in the current quarter that topped most analysts’ expectations due to voracious demand for its chips used in artificial-intelligence technology. Its stock initially sank in afterhours trading Wednesday following the release of the results. Some investors said the market might have been looking for Nvidia’s revenue forecast to surpass expectations by even more. But its stock recovered in premarket trading Thursday, and Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said it was another “flawless” profit report provided by Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang, whom Ives calls “the Godfather of AI.” The stock meandered through Thursday as well, dragging the S&P 500 and other indexes back and forth. How Nvidia’s stock performs has more impact than any other because it’s grown into Wall Street’s most valuable company at roughly $3.6 trillion. The frenzy around AI is sweeping up other stocks, and Snowflake jumped 32.7% after reporting stronger results for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The company, whose platform helps customers get a better view of all their silos of data and use AI, also reported stronger revenue growth than expected. BJ’S Wholesale Club rose 8.3% after likewise delivering a bigger profit than expected. That may help calm worries about how resilient U.S. shoppers can remain, given high prices across the economy and still-high interest rates. A day earlier, Target tumbled after reporting sluggish sales in the latest quarter and giving a dour forecast for the holiday shopping season. It followed Walmart , which gave a much more encouraging outlook. Nearly 90% of the stocks in the S&P 500 ended up rising Thursday, and the gains were even bigger among smaller companies. The Russell 2000 index of smaller stocks jumped a market-leading 1.7%. Google’s parent company, Alphabet, helped keep indexes in check. It fell 4.7% after U.S. regulators asked a judge to break up the tech giant by forcing it to sell its industry-leading Chrome web browser. In a 23-page document filed late Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice called for sweeping punishments that would include restrictions preventing Android from favoring its own search engine. Regulators stopped short of demanding Google sell Android but left the door open to it if the company’s oversight committee continues to see evidence of misconduct. All told, the S&P 500 rose 31.60 points to 5,948.71. The Dow jumped 461.88 to 43,870.35, and the Nasdaq composite added 6.28 to 18,972.42. In the crypto market, bitcoin eclipsed $99,000 for the first time before pulling back toward $98,000, according to CoinDesk. It’s more than doubled so far this year, and its climb has accelerated since Election Day. President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to make the country “the crypto capital of the planet” and create a “strategic reserve” of bitcoin. Bitcoin got a further boost after Gary Gensler, the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, said Thursday he would step down in January . Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. Bitcoin and related investment have a notorious history of big price swings in both directions. MicroStrategy, a company that’s been raising cash expressly to buy bitcoin, saw an early Thursday gain of 14.6% for its stock quickly disappear. It finished the day with a loss of 16.2%. In the oil market, a barrel of benchmark U.S. crude rose 2% to bring its gain for the week to 4.8%. Brent crude, the international standard, climbed 1.8%. Oil has been rising amid escalations in the Russia-Ukraine war. In stock markets abroad, shares of India’s Adani Enterprises plunged 22.6% Thursday after the U.S. charged founder Gautam Adani in a federal indictment with securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud. The businessman and one of the world’s richest people is accused of concealing that his company’s huge solar energy project on the subcontinent was being facilitated by an alleged bribery scheme. Stock indexes elsewhere in Asia and Europe were mixed. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury inched up to 4.43% from 4.41% late Wednesday following some mixed reports on the U.S. economy. One said fewer U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week in the latest signal that the job market remains solid. Another report, though, said manufacturing in the mid-Atlantic region unexpectedly shrank. Sales of previously occupied homes, meanwhile, strengthened last month by more than expected. AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Yuri Kageyama contributed.

Losses for big technology stocks pulled major indexes lower on Wall Street. The S&P 500 fell 0.4% Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.3% from its record high a day earlier, and the Nasdaq composite lost 0.6%. Losses for Nvidia, Microsoft and Broadcom were the biggest weights on the market. Dell sank 12.2% after reporting revenue that fell shy of forecasts, and HP dropped 11.4% after giving a weaker-than-expected outlook. Treasury yields fell in the bond market. U.S. financial markets will be closed Thursday for Thanksgiving, and will reopen for a half day on Friday. On Wednesday: The S&P 500 fell 22.89 points, or 0.4%, to 5,998.74. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 138.25 points, or 0.3%, to 44,722.06. The Nasdaq composite fell 115.10 points, or 0.6%, to 19,060.48.

The Nasdaq is up 4,449.12 points, or 27%. The Russell 2000 is up 399.12 points, or 19.7%.Actor Varun Dhawan has joined professional networking site, LinkedIn.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — The first woman to command Canada's military called out a U.S. senator on Saturday for questioning the role of women in combat. Gen. Jennie Carignan responded to comments made by Idaho Republican Sen. Jim Risch , the ranking member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who was asked on Friday whether President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth , should retract comments that he believes men and women should not serve together in combat units . “I think it’s delusional for anybody to not agree that women in combat creates certain unique situations that have to be dealt with. I think the jury’s still out on how to do that," Risch said during a panel session at the Halifax International Security Forum on Friday. Carignan, Canada's chief of defense staff and the first woman to command the armed forces of any Group of 20 or Group of Seven country, took issue with those remarks during a panel session on Saturday. "If you’ll allow me, I would first like maybe to respond to Senator Risch’s statement yesterday about women in combat because I wouldn’t want anyone to leave this forum with this idea that women are a distraction to defense and national security," Carignan said. “After 39 years of career as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations across the world, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify the contribution of women to their defense and to their service, in their country. I wouldn’t want anyone to leave this forum with this idea that this is that it is some kind of social experiment.” Carignan said women have participating in combat for hundreds of years but have never been recognized for fighting for their country. She noted the women military personnel in the room. “All the women sitting here in uniform, stepping in, and deciding to get into harm’s way and fight for their country, need to be recognized for doing so," she said. “So again, this is the distraction, not the women themselves." Carignan received a standing ovation at the forum, which attracts defense and security officials from Western democracies. Hegseth has reignited a debate that many thought had been long settled: Should women be allowed to serve their country by fighting on the front lines? The former Fox News commentator made it clear, in his own book and in interviews, that he believes men and women should not serve together in combat units . If Hegseth is confirmed by the Senate, he could try to end the Pentagon’s nearly decade-old practice of making all combat jobs open to women. Hegseth’s remarks have generated a barrage of praise and condemnation. Carignan was promoted to the rank of general during the change-of-command ceremony this past summer, after being chosen by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government to become Canada’s first female defense chief. Carignan is no stranger to firsts. She was also the first woman to command a combat unit in the Canadian military, and her career has included deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia and Syria. For the last three years, she has been the chief of professional conduct and culture, a job created as a result of the sexual misconduct scandal in 2021. Her appointment this year comes as Canada continues to face criticism from NATO allies for not spending 2% of its gross domestic product on defense. The Canadian government recently said that it would reach its NATO commitment by 2032. Risch said Friday Trump would laugh at Canada’s current military spending plans and said the country must do more.
NORMAL, Ill. — In closing the 2024 season on a cloudy, cold Saturday afternoon, the UND football program was consistent right up to the bitter end. The Fighting Hawks consistently struggled to stop the run and consistently were unable to perform on the road. ADVERTISEMENT UND lost a fifth-straight game for the first time since 1986 with a 35-13 loss against No. 14 Illinois State at Hancock Stadium. The Fighting Hawks gave up at least 35 points for the fifth-straight game and finished the year 0-5 on the road. UND ends the year 5-7, finishing under .500 for the fourth time in Bubba Schweigert's 11 years as head coach. Schweigert signed a contract extension through the 2027 season this past offseason but a lengthy losing skid to close 2024 has produced a growing buzz of those questioning his job security. "There's two people that I have concern how they feel and that's our athletic director and the president of the university," Schweigert said when asked about his future after the game. "The other stuff is outside noise." Illinois State's Wenkers Wright ran for 118 yards and two touchdowns as the Redbirds piled up 420 yards of total offense. "We've got to tackle better," Schweigert said. "We know that's a fundamental that we have to get better at. We have to be more physical up front and fit the run better." The game's turning point came early in the third quarter. ADVERTISEMENT The Fighting Hawks trailed 14-10 at halftime and the defense forced a stop on Illinois State's opening drive of the second half. UND running back Sawyer Seidl took the next three carries. The young speedster busted off a run of 11 yards, then an 18-yard run in which the Hawks' offensive line helped push the pile in a scrum situation. Seidl entered another scrum situation on his next carry and UND's sideline was energized by the physical running game. As the scrum carried on, however, Illinois State was able to rip a fumble away from Seidl at the last moment. Nine plays later, Wright scored from 18 yards out to extend the Illinois State lead to 21-10. "I didn't see it but it went to review and they confirmed it," Schweigert said. "We had three, four physical plays in a row. Sawyer was running hard, and it was unfortunate he lost the ball." UND was limited to 266 yards of total offense as quarterback Simon Romfo was 11-for-26 for 135 yards. "We left a lot of plays out there," said UND wide receiver Bo Belquist, who had three catches for 42 yards. "I thought our offensive line and running backs were super physical and did a great job. We got stuck on a couple of drives, and you can't do that against good teams and that's why they're in the playoffs." ADVERTISEMENT Belquist finishes his decorated career one touchdown shy of Greg Hardin's Division I school record for touchdown catches (31). "Not the way you want to end (your career)," Belquist said. "It wasn't my greatest performance out there but it's over and it is what it is. You have to move on and embrace the memories you made over the years and the relationships you created. Life goes on."Shares of data company skyrocketed on Thursday after investors were pleasantly surprised with the financial results it reported for its fiscal third quarter of 2025. As of 2:25 p.m. ET, Snowflake stock was up 32%. Snowflake’s adoption is growing I believe that investors are looking at Snowflake’s business trends more than its headline numbers today. The company had some big customer wins during Q3, which was an encouraging sign. Like most enterprise software companies, its customers sign longer-term contracts, and this is recorded as remaining performance obligations. And in Q3, Snowflake’s customer growth resulted in big gains in remaining performance obligations. These jumped 10% quarter over quarter to $5.7 billion. For perspective, there was only a 4% jump between the second and third quarters of its fiscal 2024. Of course, Snowflake’s headline numbers were important too. Management had only guided for Q3 product revenue of $855 million at most, whereas it ended up generating $900 million. And it had a Q3 adjusted operating income margin of 6%, whereas it only expected a 3% margin. Those numbers were good also, but I think investors were more excited about the customer wins, because that’s something that will continue to provide strong financial results in coming years. Snowflake’s outlook is improving With upbeat Q3 results, Snowflake’s management raised its outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year. As a whole, the company believes it’s on pace to grow product revenue by 29% from its fiscal 2024, which is an increase from its previous guidance of 26% growth. Guidance for profit margins is likewise up. In recent years, enterprise customers had been reluctant to spend money. But it seems like the outlook is now improving for Snowflake, and investors are understandably excited about that.
