Maybe it is a case of fourth time lucky for Nottingham Forest. Certainly Vítor Pereira – manager No 4 in the most chaotic of seasons – is doing something right. The Europa League semi-finalists are unbeaten in their last five Premier League games and will arrive at the Stadium of Light knowing victory would move them within touching distance of safety. Their visit should provide an interesting tactical challenge for Sunderland. Régis Le Bris’ side often excel on the counterattack but Forest are likely to sit deep and invite their hosts to unpick their packed defence while hoping to hurt them on the break. Le Bris will surely need Nordi Mukiele to advance with typical verve from right-back, while, in midfield, Noah Sadiki and Enzo Le Fée will be required to demonstrate precisely why they are being watched by several leading clubs. This Sunderland team often plays with real and refreshing personality. Can Forest subdue it? Louise Taylor

WASHINGTON (ANP) - Een Amerikaanse militair van de speciale eenheden is donderdag opgepakt omdat hij zou hebben gewed op het vertrek van de Venezolaanse leider Nicolás Maduro, kort voordat diens gevangenneming bekend werd. Dat meldt het Amerikaanse ministerie van Justitie.
De militair was volgens de aanklacht betrokken bij de planning en uitvoering van de Amerikaanse operatie om Maduro gevangen te nemen. Hij zou met die voorkennis ruim 33.000 dollar hebben ingezet op het voorspellingsplatform Polymarket, onder meer op Maduro's vertrek en de inzet van Amerikaanse troepen in Venezuela.
Na de bekendmaking van de operatie door president Donald Trump leverden de weddenschappen de militair volgens justitie ruim 400.000 (zo'n 340.000 euro) dollar winst op. Hij wordt onder meer beschuldigd van fraude, diefstal van niet-openbare overheidsinformatie en verboden financieel gewin.
De verdachte riskeert een celstraf van twintig jaar.
