SOCCER: Back in the Premier League, Aston Villa were finally able to show off their shiny new signing. Fair play to you if you had this in your 2022 bingo.

SOCCER: And it seems the Villa faithful have already taken to their magical Brazilian well, although part of me thinks it's more about their anger towards Jack Grealish than anything else.

A late change to the Southport line up as Jordan Archer is stuck in traffic and will be on the bench. Jack Bainbridge starts.

SOCCER: It seems like Sergio Aguero has decided to try out a new sport following his forced retirement.

FORMULA 1: Yes, you're reading that correctly. Someone good at racing on a video game has actually been hired to drive professionally in real life. Impressive stuff.
