WOMEN’S FOOTBALL: Arsenal will look to end their two-match losing run when they take on London City Lionesses in a delayed League Cup quarter final at a sold-out Princes Park tomorrow evening.

The Lionesses are languishing just outside the relegation zone in the second tier of English women’s football, and sacked head coach Carolina Morace last week.

Wednesday night’s winner will face Aston Villa in the semi-finals.

ICE HOCKEY: Nottingham Panthers forward Felix Pare was fined and suspended for three games after headbutting Ian McNulty in last weekend’s game at Coventry.

Before this incident, Pare had scored the Panthers’ second goal in their 6-2 win.

Sheffield Steelers improved their record to just one loss in 21 games with a 6-3 win at Coventry on Sunday that maintained their 14-point lead in the Elite League.

MEN’S CRICKET: Sri Lanka can complete a whitewash over Afghanistan in Pallekele tomorrow when they meet in the third and final leg of their one-day series.

Following a 42-run win in the first match, Sri Lanka cruised to a 155-run victory on Sunday after Afghanistan slumped to 153 all out, with leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga taking 4-27.

Sri Lanka sit seventh in the world’s one-day rankings, two places above Afghanistan.

MEN’S FOOTBALL: Aberdeen-based Banks O’Dee will move within a point of Highland League leaders Brechin with a win over Rothes tomorrow evening while fifth-placed Buckie take on a ninth-placed Brora team that has only lost once all season.

Wednesday night’s other fixtures see Huntly at Nairn, Lossiemouth welcome Inverurie Locos to Grant Park, Wick travel to Strathspey Thistle, who are seven points adrift at the bottom and struggling Keith are up against Turriff.
