BBC Sport's Luke Reddy at the Premier League launch day: "As the Premier League trophy gets shown off at the close of play at today's launch of the competition, one fan nearby shouts: "it's going to Steven Gerrard." But which name will sit below Manchester City's?"

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet says he is "trying his best" to bring striker Fabio Borini to the Stadium of Light. The manager says he thinks there is "still a great chance" of completing a permanent deal for the Italian, who spent last season on loan at Sunderland from Liverpool.

Poyet also wants to keep hold of Connor Wickham, who has been linked with West Ham. The boss praised the striker's "incredible" pre-season, and says he remains "part of his plans".

And what does the Uruguayan think of compatriot Luis Suarez's four-month ban for biting? "I think it's gone a little bit too far," Poyet says. "It's unfair on the clubs more than the player himself."

In the women's 800m heats at the European Championships in Zurich, defending champion and Commonwealth games silver medallist Lynsey Sharp and her GB team-mates Alison Leonard and Jess Judd all go through to the semi-finals.

Leonard looked impressive in winning her heat and goes through as fastest qualifier just ahead of Sharp, who eased to victory in her heat, while Judd was third in hers to advance.

More on Manchester United's potential £16m move for Sporting Lisbon's 24-year-old defender Marcos Rojo.

Sporting president Bruno de Carvalho is reported as telling the club's TV channel that the player is "subject to strong disciplinary measures" and won't feature in the first game of the season on Saturday.

It follows the Argentine putting in a transfer request and telling Sporting he wants to join United.

"Raring to go." Three words uttered constantly at the Premier League launch and Leicester City's Wes Morgan has more cause than most. The 30-year-old has never played in the top flight.

The newly-promoted Foxes start with a home game against Everton, followed by a trip to Chelsea and the visit of Arsenal.

"I'm just looking forward to facing the best," he says. "We know how good we can be. It's not the easiest start but we get them out of the way."

Interestingly - despite Richard Scudamore's comments this morning on the return to strength of Manchester United - few of you are backing them to be title challengers this season.

Phil, in Leicester: I think Man City with their depth and quality will win the league, with Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool second, third and fourth respectively. The bottom three will be Crystal Palace, Southampton (as they have lost nearly all of their key players) and QPR.

Danny, in Wakefield: Top four - Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool whilst Hull, West Brom and Leicester dropping down to the Championship.

Rob, in Brighton: I really am surprised that Liverpool are being written off so readily. They took apart Dortmund and looked good against United. I see them knocking at the door, at least top three.

Bradford City sign teenage Derby County striker Mason Bennett on loan until January. The 18-year-old watched his new side beat Morecambe in the League Cup on Tuesday and will be available for Saturday's League One game at Walsall.

Bantams boss Phil Parkinson told the club's website:, external "Mason is someone we have tracked since the start of pre-season. We can't wait to work with him."

AC Milan announce the signing of Colombia's ex-West Ham full-back Pablo Armero, 27, on loan from Italian rivals Udinese. Armero, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Upton Park, joins Milan on a new loan deal, although the Rossoneri have the option to eventually make the move permanent.

South Africa's Dean Elgar has been reprimanded after pleading guilty to a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct during the fourth day's play in the one-off Test against Zimbabwe in Harare on Tuesday.

Kane Wootton: I'm a Gooner and though it pains me to say it I can't see anything other than a Chelsea win. 1 Chelsea, 2 Man City, 3 Arsenal, 4 Man U.

Matt Rayner: I would like United to win it this year, but this year will be as close as ever. It is difficult to say who will win it, nearly every team have bought a few classy players.

Neil Whitaker: I must go to the bookies this week... I don't know what odds you'd get but nothing seems more nailed on than Spurs finishing 7th!

"Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas will turn Jose Mourinho's Chelsea into champions. Manchester City will come close but I don't buy into the feeling that Louis van Gaal can transform Manchester United so quickly.

"Liverpool are still good enough without Luis Suarez to finish above their rivals. At the bottom I think West Brom will struggle but hover just above the three promoted sides. Top four: 1 Chelsea, 2 Man City, 3 Liverpool, 4 Man Utd. Bottom three: 18 QPR, 19 Leicester, 20 Burnley."

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini says he is "clear" in his own mind as to whether Joe Hart or new signing Willy Caballero will start as goalkeeper for the Premier League champions.

Caballero, who worked with Pellegrini during his time at Malaga, moved to the Etihad Stadium this summer and has spoken of his desire to be first choice.

"I am clear in my mind and the goalkeepers know who will start on Saturday," Pellegrini tells Football Focus. "I have two players in every position. It is no different to having Negerdo and Aguero, Clichy and Kolarov. It is important to have these players for every position."

Wales captain Jess Fishlock will join German champions Frankfurt on loan from Seattle Reign when the National Women's Soccer League season ends.

"It is a club with a high reputation and a long tradition," Fishlock said.

Not one, not two but three mascots invade the BBC Sport studio at the European Athletics Championships in Zurich.

Cooly the Cow is the face of the games and has already shown some athletic prowess on the track.

After earlier announcing he would retire at the end of the year, Andy Turner goes through to the 110m hurdles semi-finals at the European Championships in Zurich as a fastest loser.

With only three to go through automatically, Turner finishes fourth in 13.51 but the time is quick enough to advance. Team-mate Will Sharman wins his heat in 13.29 seconds and goes through while Lawrence Clarke also advances after finishing third in his heat in 13.46

In the women's 400m hurdles, Eilidh Child, who won her heat, is the fastest qualifier but Northern Ireland's Christine McMahon, who is running for Ireland, also goes through to the semi-finals after finishing third in her heat while Britain's Tom Bosworth finishes 12th in the 20km walk.
