The Premier League has entered its final two months, with nine games left for each of the top three teams - Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. The title race is tight, with just three points separating first from third place. Squeaky bum time indeed.
Trio guilty of murder after Callum Riley stabbed to death amid feud with drug dealer

Three men have been found guilty of murder after a teenage boy was stabbed to death. Callum Riley, 17, was lured to the family home of a drug dealer who he had become embroiled in a feud with, prosecutors said.
Hours earlier, Tony Adams had smashed the windows of Callum's home in Heywood, where he lived with his mother and siblings. Fuelled by anger, Callum and a friend both went to Adams' home armed with glass bottles and began launching them at his property, in the early hours of September 17, 2022.

He admitted that he armed himself with a baseball bat as the men arrived at his home, but claimed he had been acting in self defence. Adams’ son Niall Conaghan, who can be named for the first time after he turned 18, was also accused and denied the charge.
But following a trial, the trio were all found guilty of murder. Adams' partner Michelle Conaghan, 35, and their daughter Niomi Conaghan, 19, were also on trial accused of assisting an offender.
It was alleged that they had tried to 'cover up’ the crime by cleaning the area near their front door of blood and glass. Jurors found Michelle
