      All eyes turn to Brazil
      In a race Lewis Hamilton showed his absolute best last year, will that be the location of his first win of the season?
      The Sun will be here to take you through every lap!
      Drivers onto the podium
      One last massive cheer for Sergio Perez, who finished P3 in his home race.
      Perez: “I gave my best”
      “Overtaking is so difficult here.
      “It’s a good podium in front of this crowd.”
      Hamilton: “So much love for Mexico”
      “I was so close in that first stint, but the Red Bull was just too fast.
      “I’m not sure it was the right tyre in the end.”
      Verstappen: “The Start helped me a lot”
      “An incredible result, the pace of the car was really nice.
      “We are definitely enjoying it, and will try to go for more.”
      Ricciardo driver of the day
      A pulsating final few laps for Ricciardo sees him finish P7 despite the 10 second penalty.
      He has also been named driver of the day.
      Russell secures fastest lap
      A final lap effort from Russell sees Mercedes take the fastest lap point for the second week in a row.
      Another P2 for Hamilton
      Perez follows Hamilton to make it a podium in his home race!
      MAX VERSTAPPEN WINS THE MEXICAN GRAND PRIX!
      Russell pits for fastest lap
      Can Mercedes grab an extra point with a fastest lap attempt?
      Ricciardo flying
      Despite the penalty, Ricciardo is on pace to finish P7!
      A great effort from the honey badger!
      No stops up top
      No drivers at the front have pitted, despite Russell’s insistence of a stop.
      Alonso is out!
      VSC is deployed!
      Alonso fading
      Looks like there could be some damage for Alonso, and he is fading towards the places outside of the points.
      Verstappen cruising to victory
      It’s looking like another comfortable victory for the world champion, with the lead to Hamilton over 13seconds.
      Ricciardo making big moves
      With a 10second penalty on him for the collision with Tsunoda, he is now looking to overtake Ocon for 7th.
      Really nice to see for the McLaren driver, who is currently without a seat for next year.
      10 laps to go
      With 10 laps to go, it looks as if there’s not much the Mercedes’ can do to catch their respective Red Bulls.
      Perez approaching DRS range
      It could be problem time for Hamilton…
      Mercedes convinced of Red Bull drop off
      The radio message to Hamilton suggest that they still believe they’re in the right tyres to catch their own Red Bull in front of them.
      Tsunoda out the race
      The collision has left Tsunoda unable to continue, and he is the first driver to retire today.
      Colission between Tsunoda and Ricciardo
      The McLaren was looking for the overtake and it seemed like he got the job done illegally, as Tsunoda goes off the track.
      Race waiting to burst into life
      With 20 laps to go, we’re still waiting for the big moments in this race.
      Can Perez channel the energy of the home crowd and push Hamilton for P2?
      Russell gaining on Perez
      It looks as if Russell has adapted to these tyres better than Hamilton, and he’ll be encouraged that Perez is not exactly pushing his teammate for P2.
      Bottas making moves
      Both Ocon and Bottas overtake Zhou, who is yet to pit.
      A nice exit sees the former Mercedes driver stay in touch with the Frenchman for P8.
      Lovely overtake from Ocon
      Every point is crucial in the midfield, and Ocon moves into the points with an overtake on Bottas.

      MANCHESTER UNITED return to Premier League action with a tough encounter against West Ham – and Cristiano Ronaldo is in the starting XI.The Red Devils go into this match having brushed aside Sherrif Tiraspol in the Europa League.
      But the Hammers will prove to be trickier customers as they eye a top ten spot.

      Warm-ups underway
      Both sets of players are being put through their paces by their respective coaches.
      Kick off is just under ten minutes away!

      Odds
      The bookies have the home team as favourites for this one.

      Man United – 7/10
      West Ham – 4/1
      Draw – 29/10

      Odds as provided by betfair.
      Rashford approaching landmark
      Marcus Rashford has scored 99 goals in all competitions for Man United.
      He will be keen to reach his century this afternoon but will be forced to operate from wide on the left thanks to Ronaldo’s return up top.
      Flynn Downes
      Downes has been receiving rave reviews since he forced his way into the West Ham team a couple of weeks back.
      It will be interesting to see how the 23-year-old plays today.
      Louis Saha
      Sky are giving this game the big build up due to the fact that the Arsenal game hasn’t been televised.
      Louis Saha has been bringing the touchline style.

      Fortress Old Trafford
      Erik Ten Hag’s team are unbeaten since their defeat at the hands of Brighton back in August.
      In that time they have registered impressive, confidence building wins against the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs.
      Could be a tough task for West Ham this afternoon.
      All eyes on Scamacca
      Hammers fans have taken to their new Italian forward very quickly and they will be hoping that Scamacca can reward their faith with a goal here today.
      Scamacca currently has two Premier League goals from his 11 appearances, but West Ham fans will let you know that his record in front of goal doesn’t tell the full story of his impact on the team.
      Manchester United absentees
      Word is that Victor Lindelof is missing today with illness while Antony has been left out after he suffered a small injury.
      The players that Manchester United are missing means that, Jadon Sancho aside, Erik Ten Hag is lacking for attacking options to turn to off the bench.
      Ronaldo back in the XI
      The big team news is Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to the starting eleven after he was left out of the squad for the Chelsea game as punishment for refusing to come on in the win against Spurs.
      Ronaldo will be hoping that he can replicate his performance in the Europa League on Thursday evening when he started and scored in United’s 3-0 win.

      West Ham substitutes
      Michael Antonio will surely be Moyes’ go-to impact substitute if his side needs a goal later on.
      West Ham subs: Areola, Coufal, Johnson, Emerson, Ogbonna, Coventry, Fornals, Lanzini, Antonio.
      West Ham team news
      Here’s the team that David Moyes has selected for the return to his old team.
      West Ham XI: Fabianski, Kehrer, Dawson, Zouma, Creswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Downes, Benrahma, Scamacca.
      Manchester United substitutes
      Antony isn’t in the squad for Manchester United.
      Man United Subs: Dubravka, Bishop, Malacia, Pellistri, McTominay, van de Beek, Garnacho, Fred, Sancho.
      Manchester United team news
      Cristiano Ronaldo starts for Erik Ten Hag’s side.
      Man United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Eriksen, Fernandes, Elanga, Ronaldo, Rashford.

      Last match between the teams
      Manchester United won this fixture 1-0 last season thanks to a 93rd minute goal from Marcus Rashford.
      Could we see history repeat itself today?

      West Ham injury news
      Lucas Paqueta is a doubt for the Hammers after picking up a shoulder injury against Southampton two weeks ago.
      Nayef Aguerd, West Ham’s £30 million summer signing, played his first competitive minutes since his arrival against Silkeborg in midweek so could be in line to make his first Premier League appearance for the club.
      However, David Moyes has previously indicated that he wouldn’t risk playing the Moroccan defender in the Premier League until after the World Cup.
      We’ll have the official team news in about ten minutes time.
      Manchester United injury news
      Manchester United will be without Raphael Varane until after the World Cup, but today could see Harry Maguire return to the team for the first time since September as he attempts to find some form before the tournament in Qatar.
      Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Anthony Martial are both nearing a return to full fitness and face late tests from the United medical team to evaluate their suitability for a place in the squad this afternoon.
      Here’s Mr. Maguire with his wash bag – he’s had it initialled so it can be returned to him in case he loses it. Very smart.

      Hello from Old Trafford
      Good afternoon and welcome to our coverage of the game between West Ham and Manchester United in what is the final match in this round of Premier League fixtures.
      Both sides are coming into this one off the back of midweek victories in Europe.
      David Moyes’ side overcame Danish side Silkeborg by a single goal while Manchester United swatted Sheriff Tiraspol aside in a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford.   
      The Hammers currently sit 13th in the Premier League after two controversial goals helped them to beat Bournemouth at the London Stadium on Monday evening.
      United, meanwhile, are unbeaten since their 6-3 defeat at the hands of their rivals, Manchester City.
      Erik Ten Hag’s side earned a point last weekend against Chelsea thanks to Casemiro’s injury time equaliser at Stamford Bridge.
      A win for West Ham this afternoon could see them rise as high as 9th, while a victory for the Red Devils could leave them 5th.
      It will be interesting to see whether Cristiano Ronaldo has eaten enough humble pie to allow him to return to the matchday squad after missing the club’s last premier league fixture against Chelsea for refusing to come on in the win against Spurs the previous week.
      Should be a good one, this!

      Stat attack
      Thomas Partey completed 103 passes today. That’s the most passes in one match by an Arsenal player in over two years.
      His team-mate Granit Xhaka was the last player to complete more.
      .
      Super sub
      Reiss Nelson was drawn into the action after Bukayo Saka was forced off with an injury inside the first half hour.
      The substitute stepped up to the plate, scoring two goals in three minutes before setting up Partey for Arsenal’s fourth.
      What a way to announce yourself.
      .
      FULL TIME – Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest
      Arsenal return to the top of the Premier League table in style, putting Nottingham Forest to the sword.
      Five goals with no reply. A wonderful day out for those fans.
      Arteta applauds the fans with a calm look on his face, as though this is the norm. It is becoming increasingly so for the Gunners now.
      What a performance against a very vulnerable Forest side.
      Stay with us for reaction.
      Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest
      90, There will be three minutes added time here.
      Arsenal are playing with such fluency now, and when they do lose it they win it back so quickly. It must be draining to play against.
      Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest
      87, Nelson gets to the by-line and plays a ball across that just evades Odegaard.
      It falls to Jesus who’s shot is blocked. Partey is then urged to shoot and obliges, this time sending an effort high into the stands.
      You can’t win them all.
      Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest
      84, White flicks on the header and Jesus so nearly rounds off the perfect afternoon at the back-post. But Cook just does enough to put him off. Mind you, that looked easier to score!
      You sense Forest desperately want the final whistle now.
      GOAL! – Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest
      77, Odegaard makes it five!
      Arsenal just can’t stop scoring.
      Partey fires a pass into Jesus who does so well to hold off his man before finding Odegaard. The rest was all about the skipper, dancing past the challenges before smashing it into the roof of the net.
      .
      Arsenal 4-0 Nottingham Forest
      76, Ben White looks as though he is going to tuck into centre-back, his usual position, for the first time this season.
      Arsenal 4-0 Nottingham Forest
      75, Last two changes for Arsenal.
      Nketiah and Tierney are on.
      Xhaka and Saliba are off.
      Every player is getting a hero’s reception.
      Arsenal 4-0 Nottingham Forest
      73, Williams does well to find Dennis who can’t release the ball in time.
      It’s a really difficult game for Forest to play now.
      Arsenal 4-0 Nottingham Forest
      68, Odegaard slides a pass in behind and Worrall judges this one well, sliding in on Jesus and winning the ball.
      Arsenal 4-0 Nottingham Forest
      67, Worrall loses flight of the ball and Jesus is in behind. Henderson does really well to smother the chance.
      .
      Arsenal 4-0 Nottingham Forest
      66, Nelson is playing with such confidence now. He skips inside and curls in a dangerous ball to the back stick which Vieira can’t control.
      It was a big call for Arteta to bring him on ahead of the likes of Vieira and Marquinhos but it has certainly paid off.
      Arsenal 4-0 Nottingham Forest
      64, Worrall and Williams are both on for the visitors.
      Lodi and Awoniyi are off.
      They look to be lining up in a back three now.
      Arsenal 4-0 Nottingham Forest
      64, Tomiyasu is also off. Vieira is on.
      Arsenal 4-0 Nottingham Forest
      63, Martinelli is off to a standing ovation.
      That performance won’t have done him any harm for his World cup chances with Brazil.
      Cedric is on in his place.
      Arsenal 4-0 Nottingham Forest
      59, Johnson gives the ball away cheaply and Odegaard plays it through to Jesus who can’t beat Henderson. That would have been the icing on the cake.
      GOAL! – Arsenal 4-0 Nottingham Forest
      57, Arsenal have a fourth!
      Partey with an absolute beauty.
      Nelson turns provider this time, teeing up Partey who bends it inside Henderson’s near post from 25 yards.
      Almost an exact replica from the one he scored against Spurs in the North London derby.
      The Arsenal fans inside here are in dreamland!
      .
      Arsenal 3-0 Nottingham Forest
      56, Steve Cooper is going to switch things around.
      Johnson and Dennis are on. Gibbs-White and Lingard make way after failing to make a real impact.
      Arsenal 3-0 Nottingham Forest
      54, What an impact from Reiss Nelson.
      Two goals in 3 minutes!
      Jesus provider for both goals.
      Arsenal 3-0 Nottingham Forest
      Odegaard protects the ball in the area and lays off Jesus who finds Nelson in the box. The Englishman makes no mistake, flicking the ball into the bottom corner.
      Arsenal in full control and are heading back to the top of the table!
      .
      GOAL! – Arsenal 3-0 Nottingham Forest
      52, Nelson has another!
      Arsenal are flying.
      Arsenal 2-0 Nottingham Forest
      Nelson scores his first Premier League goal in over 2 years! What a moment for the young man.
      Xhaka made a typically clever run from midfield, and Partey found him with a defence splitting pass. The Swiss cuts it back to Jesus who is unselfish and lays off Nelson. The substitute checks inside and finishes into the top corner after his initial shot is saved.
      .
      GOAL! – Arsenal 2-0 Nottingham Forest
      49, Nelson doubles Arsenal’s lead!
      Arsenal 1-0 Nottingham Forest
      48, Tomiyasu digs out a brilliant cross with his weaker foot and Jesus gets his head to it but it’s straight at Henderson.

      Paul speaks
      And he’s called out Nate Diaz!
      And Canelo!
      Paul said: “Anyone, anytime, any place.”
      Paul WINS by UD
      The fighters are in the ring for the judges scorecards…
      And Paul has WON by a unanimous decision!
      Big, big win there for Jake Paul.
