Demirbay, who joined Hoffenheim from Hamburg in 2016, has scored four Bundesliga goals for Julian Nagelsmann’s side this term, providing eight assists, and has signed a five-year deal with Leverkusen for an undisclosed fee. The news that Leverkusen have bolstered their midfield contingent may, however, cast further doubt over Julian Brandt’s future, with Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich all reportedly interested in the 23-year-old, while Kai Havertz has also been linked with a move away....

A 3-1 loss at Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday was Bayern’s fourth so far this campaign — as many as it had all of last season. Bayern hasn’t lost so many games by the 20th round since Borussia Dortmund last won the title in 2012. On Feb. 4, 2012, Bayern’s 1-1 draw at Hamburg allowed Dortmund to take a two-point lead in the Bundesliga with a win at Nuremberg. Bayern had five defeats already by that stage and lost the title by eight points....

Ancelotti said defender Javi Martinez and winger Kingsley Coman were also ruled out for Saturday’s game. Robben was injured while playing for Netherlands against Luxembourg last week but hoped to be fit for the match.

Shami has denied all the allegations....

Everton’s dominant home record of just two league losses in 19 games at Goodison Park has helped them secure a seventh-placed finish despite their dismal away record of four wins in 18 away league fixtures so far. Fifth-placed Arsenal are a point behind fourth-placed Liverpool and must win Sunday’s game as they hope to seal a top four finish and qualify for next season’s Champions League. “We want the victory to take into summer and next season,” Schneiderlin told the club’s website (evertonfc....

The beta unleashes players into a match of Conquest, Battlefield’s most iconic mode, on the map Orbital. The map itself is the typical Battlefield fare, featuring a spaceship that will launch partway through the match, a large building with a rooftop to duke it out on, open areas of semi-wilderness, and a few scattered clusters of buildings filling out the rest of the gargantuan playable space.

According to the Lead Community Manager Adam Freeman, the Battlefield 2042 Specialist Sundance is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. The announcement that Sundance is non-binary followed several inquiries about their gender based on the they/them pronouns that DICE was using.

Several years later, a collective of fans has now taken it upon themselves to develop Battlefield 2142 Revival, an unofficial modification that brings online gameplay back to Battlefield 2142. As one might expect, taking an entire game from a publisher and releasing it for free seems like a recipe for legal troubles. As it turns out, Battlefield 2142 isn’t the only post-GameSpy server victim to receive the fan revival treatment, and so far the fans behind the modification haven’t been forced to remove any of the content....

According to leaker Tom Henderson, Battlefield 6’s take on SBMM with be team-based. What this means is that when Battlefield 6 players load into a game, what team they’re placed on will depend on the rest of the team’s K/D ratio.

Serious black shows—"I’ll Fly Away," “Under One Roof” —have traditionally foundered, so the fate of “City of Angels” will be widely scrutinized. “If the show does well, everything’s peachy,” says Blair Underwood, who plays surgeon Ben Turner. “If it doesn’t, you might not see another black drama for a long time.” Bochco has a formidable reputation, having produced “Hill Street Blues,” “L.A. Law” and “NYPD Blue.” But it doesn’t help that a hospital drama, “ER,” towers over prime time....

Bayern are down to the bare bones in the goalkeeping department with first choice shot stopper Manuel Neuer out with a foot injury, and Sven Ulreich joining him on the sidelines. A date for Neuer’s return remains unclear with some reports suggesting he may not feature until March, while Ulreich tweaked a thigh ahead of Saturday’s 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. That meant Ulreich was forced to leave the pre-match warm-up and hand Tom Starke his 100th league appearance – the 36-year-old having come out of retirement when Neuer got injured in September....

Today Bayonetta’s director Yusuke Hashimoto posted on his Twitter account what may be hint about a Bayonetta sequel.
