      What is the team news?

      Strikers Edinson Cavani and Antony Martial are doubts for Man Utd after picking up knocks in the 3-1 win at West Ham last weekend.
      Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said before their defeat by RB Leipzig on Tuesday night that neither player’s injury is serious, but was enough to miss the Champions League fixture.
      Solskjaer had said: “Edinson and Anthony only minor niggles, but won’t be making the trip [to Leipzig].”

      What have they said?
      Solskjaer, on a war of words with the agent of Paul Pogba, Mino Raiola: “The squad is fine – they’re a team and they stick together.

      “As soon as Paul’s agent realises this is a team sport and we work together, the better. That’s probably maybe the last thing I say on that. I don’t want to spend energy on that.” More

      Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev: UK start time, live stream, undercard, TV channel, ring walk for HUGE title fight

      by

      BOXING gets even bigger on Saturday night as Anthony Joshua prepares to take on Kubrat Pulev in a huge heavyweight clash at Wembley Arena.
      Joshua will be defending his WBA, WBO and IBF world heavyweight titles against the Bulgarian, who he was first scheduled to face over three years ago.

      How the fighters compare ahead of their heavyweight bout

      The bout is a big one for Joshua, who can all but secure a money-spinning pair of bouts with Tyson Fury with an emphatic win.
      When is Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev?
      The fight is scheduled to take place on Saturday, December 12.
      It was originally scheduled for June 20 but the coronavirus pandemic put a halt to those plans.
      What time does Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev start?
      Sky Sports Box Office being their coverage from Wembley Arena with undercard action from 6pm on Saturday.
      Joshua vs Pulev ring walks are expected to start at around 10.30pm UK time on December 12.

      What channel is it on and can it believe streamed?
      Joshua vs Pulev will be shown live on Sky Sports Box Office.
      The price of the pay-per-view has been set at £24.95, which is more than usual for a PPV event.
      The event can be live streamed from the Sky Sports Box Office app, which you can download onto your mobile or tablet device.
      What has been said?
      Pulev said: “I have been watching his fights carefully. He has a good style and he is a good specimen, but he has not shown any mental toughness.
      “Yes, he has skills, but he hasn’t shown the mental strength. This is something from within, in the blood of a man, and he does not have it.

      “Whatever mental toughness he’s got, I know I’m the harder person. This is the difference – my toughness will prevail.”

      But Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has said his man will do the business on fight night.
      Hearn told Sky Sports: “I went to see him yesterday, he looked absolutely sensational.
      “He’s learning, he’s punching so hard, so sharp, so fast. I think this is going to be a tough fight against Kubrat Pulev. I also think he is going to absolutely destroy him.

      “I think he’s going to break him down, he’s going to dissect him, and he’s going to punish him. I think you’re going to see a statement.”
