Latest odds Having lost 2-0 in the reverse encounter at Stamford Bridge, they are  4/9 (1.44)  favourites with bet365 to lay down a marker with a big win here. The Blues have lost two of their last three league matches, and are  11/2 (6.50)  outsiders to strike another blow to the hosts' title bid by pulling off a shock victory. None of the last nine meetings between this pair have resulted in draws, but there are odds of  7/2 (4.50)  available on this one finishing up all square.  Team news Claudio Bravo and Vincent Kompany remain long-term absentees, although Benjamin Mendy could be fit to rejoin the squad as he struggles with an ongoing knee issue. With the luxury of a fully fit squad to choose from, the guests may choose to bring Antonio Rudiger back into the line-up after he was left on the bench for last weekend's 5-0 win over Huddersfield. Big win While their title rivals will be viewing this as a potential banana skin for the Citizens, it is hard to see the

The day after trucks carrying medicine and food arrived in Cucuta, Maduro, who has become increasingly isolated internationally, told a news conference that Venezuela did not need the a

Abraham Lincoln History

He was born in a log cabin and went to school for less than one year. But despite his humble background, Abraham Lincoln became one of the great presidents of the United States. As the 16th president, Lincoln ended slavery and held the nation together during the Civil War, America’s biggest and bloodiest crisis. People often remarked on Lincoln’s striking looks. He was tall and thin with long arms and large hands. Lincoln wore a type of tall hat that looked like a stove pipe. Sometimes, he carried important papers under his hat. When Lincoln was running for president, he grew a beard after a young girl suggested it. FRONTIER CHILD Abraham Lincoln was born on the Kentucky frontier in 1809. Lincoln shared a one-room log cabin with his sister and parents. It had one door, one window, and a dirt floor. In 1816, the family moved to nearby Indiana. Lincoln’s mother died soon after. Lincoln helped his father with the hard work on his family’s homestead. He dug wells,

Big Bang

The universe contains everything that exists: Earth, the Sun, the stars, galaxies (collections of billions of stars), and everything else in space. People have wondered how the universe got started for thousands of years. Most scientists now think they have the answer. They think the universe began about 14 billion years ago with a kind of big explosion. They call the explosion the big bang. WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE BIG BANG? No one knows what caused the big bang, but scientists think they know what happened all the way back to the first seconds after the big bang. The brand new universe was very hot and very small. It blew outwards very fast. In the first three minutes, matter started to form. Hundreds of years later, the universe looked like a big ball of fire. You can picture the universe as something like a black balloon with white dots painted on it. The black represents space and the white dots are galaxies. Blowing air into the balloon makes it bigger.

I suffer from terminal ugliness." What it's like to be a virgin in your late 20s and beyond.

This week on  Married at First Sight  viewers (basically) watched as 29-year-old Matt lost his virginity  to his ‘wife’ Lauren on his honeymoon. “Last night I lost my virginity,”  he told the camera after being shown kissing Lauren in bed before the ad break.  “It was just a beautiful moment. It was… probably more than I expected it would be. It was… It was amazing.” It was the end of the storyline of the  Sunshine Coast videographer  struggling with anxiety and managing to overcome his complex feelings about sex to make his fake marriage work. But as unusual as the 29-year-old’s situation was made out to be, there are thousands of people who remain virgins into their late 20s, 30s and even 40s and 50s. Here are five people’s stories about abstaining from sex until later in life. ‘I’m a 28-year-old female, and I don’t give a f*ck about f*cking.’ Elise* posted to Reddit in 2016 about her virginity, telling the online forum she was completely fine with the fact that she h

11 Things The Happiest Couples Say To Each Other All The Time

In a relationship, showing your partner love and support through your actions obviously is hugely important. But expressing it in words is essential, too.  The strongest couples understand the role verbal communication plays in a relationship and how regularly exchanging words of encouragement, validation and empowerment can solidify their bond.  We asked marriage therapists to share the things the happiest couples say constantly to each other (other than “I love you,” of course) that keep their connection strong. 1. “I’m here for you.” Couples who consistently remind each other that they have each other’s backs are more capable of taking on whatever challenges life throws their way. Maybe one partner is grappling with a mental health issue. Maybe the other’s dealing with a toxic friend, family member or coworker. Whatever the issue

Cristiano Ronaldo's mum 'fighting for life' after breast cancer diagnosis

Cristiano Ronaldo’s mum has revealed she is “fighting for her life” after a new cancer drama. Mum-of-four Dolores Aveiro beat breast cancer after being diagnosed with the disease in 2007. Ahead of a trip to Italy today to celebrate her footballer son’s 35th birthday after backing him in his fight against rape claims, the mum-of-four admitted to new health problems. She told a Portuguese TV station in a interview: “I was operated on another breast in Madrid, I’ve had radiotherapy and now I’m fighting for my life.” The shock confession came after she attacked Cristiano’s rape accuser Kathryn Mayorga over her claims she was raped in a Las Vegas hotel by saying: “I have confidence in my son when it comes to what happened. When she went there, it wasn’t to play cards. It was to do something. “I know the son I have.” Related slideshow: Cristiano Ronaldo - A controversial superstar (Provided by StarsInsider) She did not offer any more details about when the operation had take
