| Eriksen sees points for attacking Spurs at Old Trafford Monday, Dec 30, 2013 11:39 PM PST  (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur playmaker Christian Eriksen is relishing the attacking philosophy instilled by new head coach Tim Sherwood and sees no reason why it cannot lead to more success at champions Manchester United on Wednesday.

| Liverpool skipper Gerrard could return for Hull clash Monday, Dec 30, 2013 11:37 PM PST  (Reuters) - Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is close to a return to action following injury and could feature in their English Premier League clash at home to Hull City on Wednesday, manager Brendan Rodgers said. The 33-year-old England midfielder hurt his hamstring in the 4-1 win over West Ham United on December 7 and his impending return is a welcome boost for Rodgers, whose side has been hit by a raft of injuries. Liverpool are fifth in the table following a 2-1 loss at Chelsea on Sunday which was compounded by injuries to midfielder Joe Allen and defender Mamadou Sakho. Buoyed by the stand-out form of striker Luis Suarez, Rodgers had steered Liverpool to the top of the table at Christmas before dropping six points back of leaders Arsenal following the 2-1 losses at Manchester City and Chelsea.

| Kallis knew it was time to quit test arena Monday, Dec 30, 2013 10:57 PM PST  Jacques Kallis said he knew the time was right to quit the test arena as he bowed out after an 18-year career with victory over India at Kingsmead on Monday. The 38-year-old all-rounder, regarded as South Africa's finest cricketer, scored a farewell century on Sunday to help his side to a 10-wicket win and a series triumph in the meeting between the two top-ranked test-playing nations. His 115 in South Africa's first innings also took him into third place on the list of all-time test batsmen, with 13,289 runs from 166 tests, behind only Sachin Tendulkar (15,921 runs) and Ricky Ponting (13,378). Kallis surprised many with his decision to quit, catching the cricketing world unawares on Christmas Day with a statement saying the second test against India would be his last but that he would continue in the limited overs format.

| Pattinson returns to Australia side after back injury Monday, Dec 30, 2013 10:54 PM PST  (Reuters) - Injured fast bowler James Pattinson has returned to the Australia set-up when he was named on Tuesday for the one-day series against England in January.
