Littler 'finds rhythm' to set up Rock semi-final
"[The crowd] got their money's worth. I think they wanted 15-all but that last leg, I just had to stay focused," he told Sky Sports."I didn't really panic. Leg by leg, Andrew started to win a few on the trot, but on the last leg, against the darts, I just had to get over the line."He played his part, it's very tough. Andrew never goes out of rhythm, he's the same throw by throw. I just had to find a rhythm to match him."Littler teased there would be "fireworks" in the fourth quarter-final and Rock delivered. Both the 24-year-old (104.02) and Price (100.21) averaged above 100, but it was Rock who seized the moment, winning three consecutive legs to open up an 11-8 lead and then extending his advantage to 13-9. Price rallied to make it 13-11, but Rock - who beat three-time champion Michael van Gerwen in round two - closed out the match in style, winning the last three legs and producing a checkout of 164 in the final one."I'm on cloud nine at the minute. What a game," Rock told on Sky Sports. "I was just like, 'Josh, you're doing nothing wrong, you're playing your own game, happy days'. The form Gerwyn's in, you know what to expect. "Littler's one of my closest friends behind the scenes. I hope we both turn up. Hopefully it will be a cracking game."The semi-finals will take place on Saturday evening with England's James Wade facing Jonny Clayton of Wales, before Littler's meeting with Rock.

Newcastle reject formal bid from Liverpool for Alexander Isak
Newcastle have rejected an offer from Liverpool for striker Alexander Isak. The Sweden international has told the Carabao Cup winners he wants to explore the possibility of a move away from St James' Park and Liverpool, who had made an inquiry about the 25-year-old last month, followed it up with a formal bid. Isak would be expected to command a price of over £100m and more than the club record sum Liverpool have paid for Florian Wirtz this summer. Newcastle had long maintained that Isak was not for sale, but Liverpool are testing that position and manager Eddie Howe has admitted his top scorer's future could be out of his hands. Howe left Isak out of the defeat to Celtic because of speculation and Isak missed Newcastle's pre-season tour of Asia with what the club described as a minor thigh injury, while he has been training with his former club Real Sociedad in a bid to return to fitness. Liverpool have spent around £250m this summer, which can rise to £300m including add-ons and the deal for goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, which was announced last year, but the Premier League champions are determined to be ambitious in their recruitment and head coach Arne Slot has said they will target the best players. They have brought in around £130m this summer, with the £65.5m sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich meaning they have lost one attacker. The Colombian spent some of last season operating as a centre-forward and scored 17 goals in the campaign. However, Liverpool have already paid an initial £69m for Hugo Ekitike, who they see primarily as a No 9 and who was also a target for Newcastle. Newcastle have also been frustrated in their attempts to buy a host of other forwards, including Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and Bryan Mbeumo but while they are interested in Brentford's Yoane Wissa, they are yet to conclude a deal for him, while their only major signing this transfer window is winger Anthony Elanga. Isak scored 23 Premier League goals for Newcastle last season as well as a Carabao Cup final strike against Liverpool. He has three years left on his contract at Newcastle but is now unlikely to sign an extension.

Glorious Goodwood racing tips: Best bets and odds for day five
Al Aasy (Goodwood, 13.20) – 0.5pt win @ 6/4 (William Hill) Aeronautic (Goodwood, 13.55) – 1pt win @ 13/2 (bet365) Goodie Two Shoes (Goodwood, 14.30) – 1pt win @ 4/1 (William Hill) Circe (Goodwood, 15.05) – 0.5pt each-way @ 11/1 (bet365) Headmaster (Goodwood, 15.45) – 0.5pt each-way @ 14/1 (BetVictor) Isaac Newton (Goodwood, 16.20) – 1pt win @ Evens (Ladbrokes) Indalo (Goodwood, 16.55) – 0.5pt each-way @ 11/1 (William Hill) The 2025 edition of Glorious Goodwood wraps on Saturday with a seven-race card, headlined by the cavalry charge that is the prestigious Stewards' Cup. Racing correspondent Jonathan Doidge aims to finish Goodwood with a flourish and has been through the best betting sites when making a selection for each and every race on day five. Coral Glorious Stakes tips (13.20) This looks a trappy contest and the safest option, albeit at short odds, looks like last year's winner Al Aasy. However, he's not in the form he was coming into this last year and this is no done deal. Stablemate Candleford got back on track with a win at Beverley last time and although he is 3lb worse off with the favourite compared to if this were a handicap, he can't be ruled out. Similarly, Meydaan has a touch of class and is only 1lb 'wrong' with the market leader, but again, he's not been at his best this season, so the suggestion is to side with the favourite in the Goodwood odds to small stakes. Coral Summer Handicap tips (13.55) Another open contest where a maximum field of 14 has been declared. The Johnstons, Charlie and Mark have farmed this race, winning half of the last 10 renewals but they are not represented this time. Again, several can have serious cases made, including Sam Hawkens, who is clearly an improver and may well have more to come going up in trip again. However, we'll take the field on with the Irish raider, Aeronautic. Joseph O'Brien's charge is another whose stock is on the rise. He's already won over 1m5f and was stepped up to this distance at Royal Ascot last time, when he ran really well to finish under four lengths behind French Master in fifth place. He was a little too keen for comfort there, and if he can settle better, then that could be the route to further success in this contest. Goodwood tip 2: Aeronautic (Goodwood, 13.55) – 1pt win @ 13/2 (bet365) Qatar Lillie Langtry Stakes tips (14.30) Last year's winner Term Of Endearment is much respected. He won this for Henry de Bromhead and has since switched to William Haggas, for whom he is yet to win in three starts this season. One of his three starts was not far short of last year's winning effort here, but he's been a few pounds below that either side. The return here could galvanise him to greater heights but we'll side with Joseph O'Brien's Goodie Two Shoes to make it a quickfire double on the card. She's a mare on the upgrade in 2025, having won successive Listed races at Gowran Park (1m6f, good) and Down Royal (2m, good), before stepping up successfully to Group 3 company at Fairyhouse (1m6f, good). She looks ready for the step up again to Group 2 level and she is taken on horse racing betting sites to continue her excellent run of form with another win. Goodwood tip 3: Goodie Two Shoes (Goodwood, 14.30) – 1pt win @ 4/1 (William Hill) Stewards' Cup tips (15.05) As ever, this looks devilishly difficult and includes last year's winner Get It and dual previous winner, Commanche Falls. Favourites have won just three of the last 10 renewals and the other seven winners have all been double-figure prices. Get It can again have a pretty strong case made and I wouldn't put off anyone set on backing him to follow up, as he's improved and is 6lb higher this time, reflecting that. However, another on an upward trajectory is Circe. Ryan Moore has been booked for the mount on the Richard Hannon-trained filly and the last time he rode her, she won. We should take the hint. She goes well on a sound surface and comes here on the back of a career-best effort, when racing prominently before scoring at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month. There looks to be some value in her price on betting apps and she looks a serious each-way player and with some luck in running, might prove good enough to win it. Goodwood tip 4: Circe (Goodwood, 15.05) – 0.5pt each-way @ 11/1 (bet365) Whispering Angel Handicap tips (15.45) Yet another of the many wide open looking handicaps this week, this time over 7f and there are plenty in with chances. There's a really interesting each-way bet for us here in Headmaster. William Haggas knows the type he needs to win this contest, having trained the winner in 2017. His Dubawi gelding has not been out of the first two in three starts over 7f-1m, winning the most recent one, a Haydock novice event, decisively. That looks good form in context. At a big price, we don't have to play to high stakes and he looks worth a tentative each-way play. Goodwood tip 5: Headmaster (Goodwood, 15.45) – 0.5pt each-way @ 14/1 (BetVictor) British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes tips (16.20) Lots of unknowns here with the vast majority of the field having had only one start, so there could be any number of significant improvers and the market could provide some serious clues. Without that knowledge, we'll have to go on the pick of the form so far and that is very much with the likely favourite, Isaac Newton. There clearly can't have been a huge amount expected of the Camelot colt on his recent debut at the Curragh, as he was merely nibbled at from 12/1 in to 11/1. Under his claimer, he pushed the winner all the way to the line and just failed to score. That was a very promising effort and provided this doesn't come too soon, he could take plenty of beating. Goodwood tip 6: Isaac Newton (Goodwood, 16.20) – 1pt win @ Evens (Ladbrokes) Coral Golden Rewards Shaker Handicap tips (16.55) The totally unexposed Gladius looks to have the layers running scared in the 'lucky last' and no chances are being taken by them on the Andrew Balding-trained three-year-old. He could prove good enough but at a double-figure price, Indalo is an improving gelding and is another who should be thereabouts. Roger Varian's grey has won three of his seven starts but remains unexposed after raising the bar again with a comfortable success at Sandown (1m, good) a few days ago. He's gone up 5lb for that and is back up to a trip that he is also unexposed over, having finished a good second at Haydock on his only previous try over 1m1f. We'll side with him.

Alexander Isak: Liverpool bid for striker rejected by Newcastle
Newcastle United have rejected a formal offer from Liverpool for Alexander Isak after the Premier League champions stepped up their pursuit of the striker. It is believed the bid was less than the £120million that the Liverpool sporting director, Richard Hughes, had previously indicated the club was prepared to pay when making informal contact with Newcastle almost two weeks ago. Newcastle's valuation for Isak is understood to be about £150million. The Sweden striker has been training alone with his former club Real Sociedad in Spain this week while Eddie Howe's side are on pre-season tour to Singapore and South Korea. The fact that Liverpool have now followed up with a firm bid demonstrates their determination to land Isak and also their intention to make life difficult for Newcastle. Isak, 25, wants to move to Anfield and is not interested in signing a new contract at St James' Park despite Newcastle's efforts to extend his stay. Liverpool have already spent £295million in the transfer market this summer, but their move for Isak reflects their continuing ambition to recruit the best players, having already brought in the likes of Florian Wirtz for £116million and Hugo Ekitike for £79million. Newcastle have previously said they do not want to sell Isak and the rejection of Liverpool's offer shows they are not simply going to cede to a Premier League rival and the wishes of their star player. They have been trying to add to their forward line, but have missed out on numerous players such as Liam Delap, João Pedro and Ekitike. They are interested in Benjamin Sesko but face stiff competition from Manchester United. Yoane Wissa, who did not train with Brentford on Thursday, remains a target.
