Manchester United visit Arsenal on Sunday. It's bound to be a cracker...

It always is, isn't it?

Anna Kessel, chair of Women in Football, has been speaking to BBC Radio 5 live about Dr Eva Carneiro, who has left Chelsea after being criticised by manager Jose Mourinho for entering the field of play to treat Eden Hazard during a match against Swansea in August.

"We share in her statement and think it is appalling that the FA did not contact her and others as witnesses and we are disappointed with the way the investigation has been conducted," said Kessel.

"It is a concern that there is a message going out suggesting she declined or was not interested in giving evidence and I think that is probably part of the reason why she has released the statement today to say she would have been willing to do so.

"The FA need to approach her as the ones conducting the investigation. She is going through a difficult time and the onus is on the governing body to request that evidence."

Australia head coach Michael Cheika has said his team are "ready to roll" for the match against England on Saturday.

He also laughed off Sir Clive Woodward's claim that the Australia team might not be the brightest in the tournament, saying: "Mr Woodward's right - I only got 300 out of 500 in my high school certificate. My mother wasn't happy with the result either I can assure you... but somehow I got through, I don't know how, fluked it I suppose.

"Sometimes it's not intelligence it's emotional intelligence that helps in this game, it's not the IQ [intelligence quotient] it's the EQ [emotional intelligence quotient] so hopefully we've got a bit of EQ among us."

Something tells me Sir Alex Ferguson will always be "the boss" to Manchester United's Class of 92. If David Beckham's story on BBC Radio 1 this morning was anything to go by, I'm right.

He said: "The other day I saw him for the first time in a long time. We'd never even think about having a little glass of wine or beer [as players] in front of him but the other day someone handed me a glass of wine and I was talking to him for 20 minutes with the wine hidden behind my back. 

"Me, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes all said the same thing, we all hid the glass of wine behind our back."

The voting has closed. The results are in. And, according to almost 53% of you, England will beat Australia at Twickenham tomorrow to stay in the Rugby World Cup.

However, 45% of people who voted believe Australia can register the win which would eliminate Stuart Lancaster's men. Just 2% went for the draw.

American world number one Jordan Spieth has been named as the PGA Tour's Player of the Year.

The 22-year-old won the Masters and the US Open this year and was one shot out of a play-off at the Open in July. He then finished as runner-up at the PGA Championship in August.

Politics is just different in Australia, isn't it? Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has taken to Facebook to predict his sporting winners this weekend. 

Unsurprisingly he's going for the Wallabies against England in the Rugby World Cup. He doesn't sound entirely convinced though.

BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty is doing a question and answer session for Sportsday live readers today...

Alex Kaminjuki asks: What has contributed more to Liverpool's current woes? Brendan Rodgers's tactics or the club's transfer policy?

Phil answers: Great question Alex...you've hit on one of my real bugbears about Liverpool here. The club's transfer policy - or more specifically it's 'transfer committee'. I have never got this at all. Yes, Rodgers says he has the final say but he must have to take input from the committee otherwise what does it exist for? Too many players have been bought on potential.

It leads to grey areas and the opportunity for people to say "well he wasn't mine". It certainly means Brendan Rodgers cannot take sole responsibility for every deal. I thought he showed real tactical flexibility to get things going again last season but ultimately it all went very wrong. 

I will be very interested to see what happens when he has Christian Benteke, Daniel Sturridge and Danny Ings all fit and available, and with Philippe Coutinho... that is even before you get to the likes of Adam Lallana and Roberto Firmino. Not sure there seems to have been too much of a specific plan there.

Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat was not entertaining too many questions about his future at today's news conference, reportedly cutting the meeting short after telling the assembled media: "The fact is I am here and tomorrow I am here, but what happens after that is [the same as] for all the managers - everything can change in a day or a week or nine months." 

The Black Cats are stuck at the bottom of the Premier League table on two points and will host West Ham on Saturday in their next fixture - something the Dutchman was keen to stay focused on.

He said: "For me the most important thing is to discuss what is happening tomorrow and that is the reason I am here - not maybe what will happen tomorrow or a week tomorrow or in nine months' time."

Advocaat, who has no fresh injury concerns, said the match against West Ham will be treated like a "cup final".

Damien Morris ‏asked: Who do you feel will finish the best out of the Merseyside clubs in the league at the end of the season?

Phil answers: Well we might have a better idea on Sunday night Damien after Everton have played Liverpool at Goodison Park. Before the start of the season I tipped Liverpool for fifth and Everton for seventh so I won't be changing that verdict after less then 10 games.

What I will say is that Everton have been much better than I expected and Liverpool worse. So much for Liverpool depends on whether Daniel Sturridge stays fit - and his track record is not great.

If he does I stand by my belief that Liverpool will finish ahead but I must admit it's not a prediction made with huge confidence!

Kit bags? Tick. An extra jumper? Tick. Mobile phone charger? Tick. Toilet roll?...

New York Jets really do think of everything! They are in London for an NFL match this weekend and the NY Times are reporting that the club have brought 350 lots of toilet roll with them.

BBC Radio London's Chris Slegg has been at a Q&A with some of the players in action this weekend at Wembley, including Nick Mangold of the New York Jets.

Asked if he used British toilet paper when he was in the UK this summer, he replied, with a smile: "Certainly did... no issues." More on the toilet roll story here., external

Red Eric asks: What do you make of the current situation at my club Brentford?

Phil answers: Utterly baffling is putting it mildly, Eric. I know there is a slightly unusual way of operating there, with owner Matthew Benham leaning heavily on a statistical base, but in what way could the club's hierarchy think it would be a good idea to let Mark Warburton go?

He got the Bees into the play-offs for the Premier League (a magnificent achievement) and yet is allowed to leave. It's a nonsense, made only worse by the fact his replacement Marinus Dijkhuizen is out after only eight games.

Brentford had the real chance to push on with Warburton - will it ever get as good for the club again? I've been to Griffin Park and Brentford have superb fans who deserve better.

The good news is that Lee Carsley is a very sound, measured and experienced guy but have to wonder if the ship hasn't sailed now.

Arsenal v Manchester United, Everton v Liverpool, Aston Villa v Stoke City. There are some juicy ties in the Premier League this weekend where the form book could get thrown out of the window.

Rodgers Omondi asks:What's your take on Chelsea hoarding players? They have 33 on loan. Are they wasting young players?

Phil answers: It certainly is a remarkable number and self-evidently there is no way they will use them all - but what I will say is that other clubs have been the beneficiaries, such as when Romelu Lukaku was loaned out first to West Brom then Everton before being sold to the latter for £28m.

Now we have the likes of Tomas Kalas, a promising young defender, developing at Middlesbrough and Chelsea's argument will be that not only are that loaning club getting a good player, they can then work out whether he will be good enough to flourish back at Stamford Bridge.

The one I never understand is Victor Moses, who is loaned out every season. He has been at Liverpool, Stoke City and West Ham United and clearly has no part in Jose Mourinho's plans. He signed a new four-year contract at Chelsea on the day he signed in  at Upton Park. Why not simply sell him?

What we have to stress, though, is that Chelsea are doing absolutely nothing wrong no matter how puzzling it is to the rest of us.

BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty is doing a question and answer session for Sportsday live readers today. Here's his second offering...

Femi Ade asks: In your opinion, isn't it time for Wenger to quit at Arsenal?

Phil answers: No messing about with these questions today. I would never be arrogant enough to advise Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to quit - but I do believe those fans who have questioned events at the club in recent times are well within their rights to do so.

It was barely believable that Wenger did not move to bring in a world-class striker in the summer and perhaps even a quality defensive midfield player as well. Did he really not believe he couldn't strengthen in the outfield positions, only bringing in goalkeeper Petr Cech from Chelsea?

He then compounded this by leaving Cech out of the crucial Champions League game at home to Olympiakos, where his replacement David Ospina's error made a huge contribution to their loss.

It was a terrible decision, despite Wenger's very tetchy defence of his position since then. Was this not the sort of game Cech was specifically bought to play in?

If Arsenal fail to get out of their Champions League group and do not mount a serious title challenge - especially with all the money we are led to believe Wenger could have used - then he will face the most serious questions of his time at Arsenal."

Earlier we reported Jose Mourinho admitting that Chelsea's poor start to the season has been his "worst moment" in the game. 

Our colleagues at BBC Radio 5 live were also listening in and have made the clip available. Listen to the Blues boss speaking frankly here.
