    In addition to the Champions League draw, there are nine Premier League news conferences.

    First up at 09:00 GMT is Arsene Wenger on the eve of his 1,000th game in charge of Arsenal. Since his appointment on 30 September, 1996, 153 managers, caretakers or management teams have taken charge of Premier League clubs and 18 years on, the average stay of a top-flight boss stands at 1.86 seasons.

    The retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson left Wenger as English football's longest-serving manager and, of the 19 others in the Premier League when he arrived, only Harry Redknapp remains a club boss.

    British number one Andy Murray says he will find it "very hard" to find a new coach who is as talented as Ivan Lendl. The defending Wimbledon champion and his Czech mentor announced their mutual decision on Wednesday to end their partnership after more than two years.

    "Ivan's a very hard person to replace," adds Murray. "You don't replace his sort of experience easily." Under eight-time Grand Slam champion Lendl, Murray won the 2012 US Open, an Olympic gold and Wimbledon last year.
