Rafael Nadal takes on Novak Djokovic as Spain bid to complete the Davis and ATP Cup double.

Pele, who will be 80 in October and finds it difficult to walk, was not present at the ceremony in the CBF’s museum but had been given a preview of the statue which he declared “perfect”. Jairzinho, Clodoaldo and Brito were among members of the 1970 team present at the ceremony, along with current Brazil coach Tite.
It's perhaps a little too early to suggest that they have turned the corner though as they have been inconsistent for the best part of a season and a half now; and their status as clear favourites here is questionable despite the fact they have lost just one of their eight home league matches this term.

A former journeyman midfielder, Setien has spent most of his coaching career outside the top flight, with his best achievement being when he guided Real Betis to sixth place in La Liga two seasons ago.
The home team have been winning a lot of matches here and have been one of the harder teams to score against when they play at home. On top of this if you do score against them normally you cannot beat them as they have scored 3 goals or even more in a lot of matches at home. The away team have struggled here the past couple of times losing by big scores as they have been unable to stop the home team scoring over and over again when playing at this ground. Looks like another easy home win for the PSG

Well the odds here are too good to be missed. Both teams are in bad shape . Isloch maybe is the team with better quality but that is not that much and plus Gorodeya at home are a very solid team. Both teams are going to have some troubles with the squad as they both have quite a few injured players. Both team performance lately are not promising and both coaches will not force too much here and I think both teams will settle in for a draw at this one under all of this circumstances happening.

West Ham placed unprecedented faith in Pellegrini to bring success to the football side of the club after managing director Karren Brady had helped end the very public dispute with their London Stadium landlords.

Atalanta found the breakthrough they deserved after 56 minutes, when Gosens rose to head Barrow’s cross in from close range.
