Great Britain's first Davis Cup quarter-final for 28 years will be played on clay in Naples.

Britain won a World Group tie for the first time since 1986 against the United States earlier this month to send them through to a last-eight clash with Italy.

"The Italians have a very strong team and we are under no illusions as to how difficult this tie will be," said British captain Leon Smith.

"But our team put on a phenomenal performance to beat the USA earlier this month and so we hope to carry that momentum forward and give this tie absolutely everything we've got."

Italian bobsleigher William Frullani has failed a drugs test at the Winter Olympics.

He is the second athlete to test positive for drugs at the games after the German ski federation earlier announced that a German biathlete had also failed a doping test for a stimulant.

Striker Kostas Mitroglou is one of several injury issues that new Fulham manager Felix Magath has to ponder ahead of his side's meeting with West Brom.

Newcastle have not scored in their last four outings, but they will have striker Loic Remy available again when they face Aston Villa on Sunday.

The Frenchman has served a three-game ban for a red card against Norwich, and the Magpies could also be bolstered by having Fabricio Coloccini and Cheick Tiote to pick from following knee and hamstring problems.

It was a solid day for McLaren and Jenson Button on day three of testing in Bahrain. The Briton clocked up 103 laps and the second fastest time. It was not so good for Ferrari and Red Bull who managed only 44 and 28 laps respectively.

Lewis Hamilton had a strong morning, and obviously set the fastest time, but struggled with reliability in the afternoon session. There will be live text commentary of the final day from 06:15 GMT on Saturday.

The debate over Wayne Rooney's new contract and reported £300,000 a week salary is hotting up on Facebook , externaland has certainly divided opinion.

Chris Finnegan: I'm a United fan and that is just disgusting, he threw his toys out of the pram at the end of the season again as he did previously and he's got what he wanted as he did before, a huge pay rise, he is not up there with Messi, Ronaldo or Zlatan so doesn't deserve anywhere near that

James Farragher: I'm a United fan also... How did he throw his toys out of the pram? Ferguson said that Rooney wanted a transfer, not Wayne. He's always kept his mouth shut about it and got on with his game. Up until he got injured, he was the only senior player pulling his weight week in week out.

Dwayne Adams: Crazy amount of money but we needed to keep a player of his quality at the club at all costs! If we lost Wayne we really would be on a bigger downhill spiral, I the thought of playing with Rooney, Robin van Persie and Juan Mata is what will hopefully attract big name players in the summer.

Hull City manager Steve Bruce believes their season could hit new highs in the next three days. By Monday night they could have 30 Premier League points and be through to the quarter-final of the FA Cup if they can beat Cardiff on Saturday and then Brighton in a fifth-round replay two days later.

"It's all to play for and it would be a terrific boost for us all," he said.

"It's a big game every week for us, from the day we started at Chelsea to our first home game. They're all big games and Cardiff is another one."

Wayne Rooney's new contract is worth up to £300,000 a week, £1,785 every hour and just under £30 every minute.

The staggering deal will earn the 28-year-old Manchester United striker more than £70m over the next five-and-a-half years so we look at what the numbers really mean.

Team GB face a difficult task if they are to take gold in the curling. The men are currently trailing 5-1 to Canada in End 4.

Sergio Aguero will miss Manchester City's game against Stoke on Saturday, but the Argentine is expected to resume training next week following a month-long absence with a hamstring injury.

Defender Matija Nastasic is suffering from a knee injury and will also miss the game.

David, Aberdeen: "Although United have been poor this season, Rooney has still been our best player. What big team in the world wouldn't break the bank to keep their star man."

Sunderland head coach Gus Poyet has told his players they still have time to play themselves into his Capital One Cup final team.

The Black Cats face Arsenal on Saturday before they meet Manchester City in the final at Wembley eight days later

"Managers will always have seven or eight we will pick if they are fit, which leaves three or four which are always available for people depending on what they do or how they feel," he said.

"I hope nothing happens next week so I can make the decisions based on performance and what we need."

David Moyes is remaining tight-lipped over Wayne Rooney's contract situation.

"As soon as we have the information to give you, we will give you it. Everyone knows how important a player he is. He is a terrific football player and if we can get it done it will be great."

Just to remind you, Rooney and United have reached an agreement over a new five-year contract, but the club have yet to formally announce it.

Roberto Martinez believes Everton are in a four-way battle with Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United for fourth place and a spot in next year's Champions League and thinks this weekend's trip to Stamford Bridge could provide a barometer for Everton's top-four hopes.

"The game we have at the weekend is going to tell us a lot," he said.

"It's important that as a team we keep working, we keep developing and keep getting stronger, but only when you get in a match against teams that are competing in the Champions League do you get a clear idea how far away you are."

JP Duminy's third Test century has helped South Africa to a total of 423 all out just after tea on the second day against Australia in Port Elizabeth.

Duminy has just fallen to Nathan Lyon for 123, giving the off spinner a five-wicket haul for the fifth time in this form of the international game.

England's forwards coach Graham Rowntree has warned his players that "exceptional" Brian O'Driscoll will be desperate to mark his last appearance against England with a victory.

"Beating us will mean everything to him. What a player... he's an icon," said Rowntree.

"He's a thoroughly professional player and I really enjoyed working with him. As a man he's exceptional.

"You hear the way Owen Farrell, Luther Burrell and Billy Vunipola speak about him, you can tell the respect they have for him."

More from an apologetic Manuel Pellegrini about the performance of referee Jonas Eriksson in Manchester City's defeat by Barcelona:

"I felt from the beginning his criteria was not the same for both teams, I think he had a bad day - everyone can have a bad day - but I didn't say that intentionally he didn't give fouls for us or did give fouls for Barcelona. I said from the beginning it was not the same criteria. I repeat, a bad day, not dishonest."
