#20 Iowa Hawkeyes at #23 Northwestern Wildcats Preview, Prediction, Broadcast Info
The Iowa Hawkeyes are very much the epitome of every Big Ten stereotype.

Chelsea Team News at Sunderland: Moises Caicedo, Jordan Henderson, Emiliano Martinez, Jorrel Hato
Moises Caicedo was not present during the first 15 minutes of Chelsea's training session yesterday, and that naturally invited doubt about his status for Sunday's match at Sunderland. It is worth noting that only the first 15 minutes are open to media, so we just don't know if the Ecuadorian midfielder joined in on the session, later on, or not. Caicedo has been dealing with an … [Read more...] about Chelsea Team News at Sunderland: Moises Caicedo, Jordan Henderson, Emiliano Martinez, Jorrel Hato
