Lion City Sailors team news

There's a fellow Australian waiting for Postecoglou in the form of centre-back Bailey Wright, who joined from Sunderland this summer and actually made his debut for the international team under the current Spurs boss back in 2014.

Eagle-eyed viewers may recognise former FIFA wonderkid Richairo Zivkovic, but keep an eye out for attacking midfielder Diego Lopes - the most expensive player in Singapore History thanks to his €1.8m move from Rio Ave in 2021.

Lion City Sailors predicted lineup vs Tottenham

(4-2-3-1): Rohaizad; Nor, Harun, Tan, Abdullah; Syahin, Kumar; Anwar, Lopes, Lestienne; Zivkovic

Tottenham vs Lion City Sailors score prediction

Lion City Sailors are among Singapore's most successful teams but, despite the respect that deserves, they should not be able to hold a candle to Spurs.

Postecoglou's side were thoroughly impressive against West Ham, even if they ended up on the losing end, and that defeat will likely serve as inspiration here as Spurs seek their first win under the new boss.

Expect a comfortable win for Tottenham, the extent of which will be decided by how strong Postecoglou goes with his team selection.

Prediction: Tottenham 5-0 Lion City Sailors

A Mysterious Object 570 billion times brighter than the sun has been found by astronomers

Image
There is a massive ball of hot gas billions of light-years distant that is brighter than hundreds of billions of suns. [ This is an updated version of the previous article. ] It’s difficult to envision anything so bright. So, what exactly is it? Astronomers aren’t sure, but they do have a few theories. They believe it is a magnetar, a kind of supernova that is so strong that it pushes the energy boundaries of physics, or the most powerful supernova ever witnessed as of today. Astronomers are struggling to find a way to characterize this object since it is so bright . “If it’s a magnetar, it’s as if nature took everything we know about magnetars and turned it up to 11,” said Krzysztof Stanek, professor of Astronomy at Ohio State University and the team’s co-principal investigator. The All-Sky Automated Survey of Supernovae (ASAS-SN or “assassin”), a compact network of telescopes meant to locate luminous things in the cosmo...
