City hope to delay title surrender

Manchester City can delay the inevitable by beating fifth-place Tottenham on Sunday in the Premier League. Manchester United, who lead City by 13 points, can clinch their 20th English title with a victory at home to Aston Villa on Monday if City lose at White Hart Lane. City have saved some of their best form for the latter stages of the season, winning six of their last seven league matches, but the team will not be as fresh as Tottenham, who have been on a 10-day break since being knocked out of the Europa League quarterfinals. Physical edge may not be the only factor as Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor, who used to play for City, predicted that his opponents will start fighting each other on the field if things don't go their way.

Nigeria arrived home on Tuesday to wild celebrations as tens of thousands lined the streets to catch a glimpse of their heroes after the team ended a 19-year wait to win the African Nations Cup at the weekend. The players landed at Abuja's airport to the sound of beating drums and raucous chanting before driving the few miles to the national stadium through throngs of adoring fans packing the dusty highway. "I am overwhelmed by what I am seeing," defender Joseph Yobo told reporters when the squad paraded the trophy to thousands who filled the stadium later.
