Mr Mourinho has arrived on time for his afternoon news conference and immediately gets asked about striker Diego Costa.

Costa's goal against Norwich - one of 21 shots the reigning Premier League champions had during the contest - will give the Spaniard "confidence", says the manager.

There's been a couple of intrepid visitors at Accrington Stanley this morning, as explained by the League Two club's chief executive...

I remember winning the Champions League ten seasons in a row with Skonto Riga on Sensible World of Soccer. Oh yes.

Should have made the trip to Latvia, I might have got a free shirt...

And in case you hadn't heard, there's been a bit of a row going on about Andy Murray's contribution to British tennis.

Tim Henman has been standing up for his friend in the face of criticism from David Lloyd, who accused Murray of not doing enough to promote the growth of tennis in Britain.

"I think I'd probably disagree with (David), considering Andy has carried the team to the Davis Cup final," said Henman.

"He's won Wimbledon, the US Open, Olympic gold. 

"There are others that need to be responsible for taking advantage of the interest he creates in the game. But if you ask me, I think Andy Murray is doing all right."

Andy Murray and co have landed ahead of the Davis Cup final in Belgium...

BBC World Service Sport has been speaking to Gijs Kooken, organiser of the event, who is "confident" it will go ahead, despite the terror threats affecting Brussels.

"I can tell you the Belgian government are doing everything," he said.

"They don’t hesitate to stop other events when there is a certain risk so the fact that they have not asked us to do it, does mean for me that it is a safe situation.”

The 6ft 9ins second-row, who has 62 caps, is out of contract at the end of the 2015-16 campaign, so is free to join the Premiership side.

"It is such an ambitious club and that's a great atmosphere to be joining," said Charteris.

Spurs and Belgium defender Toby Alderweireld says he is trying to focus on football despite a personal connection to the terror threat in Brussels.

Alderweireld's brother is a police officer in the Belgian capital, currently in its third day of lockdown with 21 arrested in connection with the attacks in Paris.

"My family's in Antwerp, so not so far from Brussels," he said. "My brother is a police officer in Brussels, so it affects you a little, but I try to focus on football.

"He has to do his daily job like the rest of us and I think the army is there as well. It's not a good situation and hopefully it's quickly over."

Bournemouth striker Joshua King hopes his first goal for the club will pave the way for more in quick succession.

King, 23, a summer signing from Blackburn, scored the opening goal in the 2-2 draw at Swansea on Saturday.

It was the Norway international's first strike in eight Premier League starts and "a fitting reward" for his efforts, according to Cherries boss Eddie Howe.

"Hopefully now I've got my first goal it can lead to more in the weeks ahead," King told BBC Radio Solent.

Real Madrid. Thrashed 4-0 at home to rivals Barcelona on Sunday, a reported falling-out between Cristiano Ronaldo and Rafael Benitez, and now president Florentino Perez has called a news conference for 18:30 GMT today.

Will Benitez, who only took over in the summer, be getting the boot? Former Real president Ramon Calderon doesn't think so.

"It's too early, I think Perez will be backing Benitez," he told BBC World Service Sport. 

“For me Benitez is not the one to blame. We are already leaders in the Champions League group, we are going to be in the knockouts so it's too early.

"The next matches are easy ones in theory and Benitez will be back."

More than 60 Kenyan athletes have occupied the headquarters of the sport's national governing body, stopping officials from entering.

They want Athletics Kenya (AK) officials to step down over corruption allegations linked to a deal with Nike.

"We are not leaving this place until our grievances have been heard and addressed," said Julius Ndegwa, the organising secretary of the Professional Athletes Association of Kenya.

AK Vice President David Okeyo has denied the allegations.

Suspended Fifa president Sepp Blatter and vice-president Michel Platini could face seven-year bans from football if found guilty of corruption claims.

Fifa ethics investigators are likely to have recommended the sanctions over a "disloyal payment" that saw Platini, 60, receive £1.35m from Blatter, 79.

There was no written contract for the consultation-work payment, which Platini received nine years later.

An adjudicatory committee could announce its verdict by Christmas.

Bristol director of rugby Andy Robinson insists there has been no approach from the Rugby Football Union for forwards coach Steve Borthwick.

New England coach Eddie Jones was in charge of Japan during the World Cup, with ex-England captain Borthwick as one of his assistants.

"It is very simple for us, Steve Borthwick is employed by Bristol Rugby. He is here for two years and his focus is on Bristol Rugby getting promotion," Robinson told BBC Radio Bristol.

Today we're asking: Just how good are Leicester City? Will they finish in the Premier League's top four?

Niklas Lanwehr: Leicester to drop off significantly until end of February, eight of next 13 games against last seasons top six.

Mik Smith: Sick of "LCFC haven't played anyone big yet" argument - 28pts from 13 games is an incredible return, regardless of fixtures.

Jonathan Ford: 40 years ago Nottingham Forest had the audacity top the league before Christmas. Everyone said the same things as they are saying now.

And that's it. Arsene and Per troop off into the distance - well, through a door at the side of the room - and the assembled journalists start frantically typing their stories or making excited phone calls to editors. Or something like that.

That's the first of the day's media calls over.

But not long to go till the next - Jose Mourinho is up at 14:30 GMT.

Mertesacker is also asked about how the two Arsenal players caught up in the Paris attacks were coping.

Laurent Koscielny and Olivier Giroud were playing for France against Germany when there were attacks outside the Stade de France.

"It is a difficult time for a footballer affected by such incidents," says Mertesacker.

"It is a horrible experience but what came out when I spoke to them was that they were quite clear about the situation and quite quickly back to normal.

"I was surprised by that, I thought they’d maybe get affected but as the games come and continue you get back to normal. That’s what we human beings are, fortunately, and (those two players) feel confident and good."

There's just under 20 minutes left to have your say on who will finish higher in the Premier League: Leicester City or Chelsea.

Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker, sitting next to his boss, is managing to get the odd word in.

Asked about tomorrow's game, the German says: "We want to remain in the Champions League for sure.

"It will be difficult for us to do that due to our results and our performances. But we have to give ourselves a chance.

"Let’s remember we beat one of the best teams in Europe at home in Bayern Munich and let’s show that we can produce that type of performance again."

Wenger is asked about his recent comments in which he suggested doping in football was a 'significant' problem.

Since then, the Gunners boss says, there have been a suspiciously high number of anti-doping testers turning up at Arsenal's training ground.

"I didn't know whether it was because of my comments," he tells an amused room.

Wenger is also asked specifically about Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Arijan Ademi, the player who tested positive after the Croatian club won the reverse fixture 2-1.

"I don't want to speculate too much on the career of a player but he's been punished," he added.

"There are two things about that game - our performance on the day and the fact that they had a doped player.

"But we only focus on our performances and we need to put in a different performance tomorrow."
