one of those are arsenal. he would be one of the favourites to head to the emirates if they choose to part company with unai emery. the spaniard's been having a torrid time of late and so have the team. they've failed to win any of their last six matches in all competitions. they take on eintract frankfurt tonight, and emery thinks it's the perfect chance to reconnect with the supporters. the club is supporting me. i have faith in the club backing me. i appreciate it a lot. and i feel strong with that support. and i know my other responsibility to come back and change that situation. i know we need to have a good connection with our supporters. and above all, i need manly, big, strong in my constituency. well, although they're struggling in the premier league, things have been going pretty well for arsenal in europe so far. they're top of group f and will qualify with a draw tonight. or if standard liege lose their match against vitoria guimaraes. but frankfurt won't be pushovers. they thrashed the great bayer

tottenham host arsenal at the tottenham hotspur stadium. reading will play at the madjeski and brighton at the amex too. the hope is to attract new, younger fans and entice those who couldn't watch the men's teams this weekend. opening weekend, we saw record—breaking attendance. over 31,000 at the manchester derby. i think hosting in the stadium gives the opportunity to draw in big crowds and create the spotlight for women's football. we're hoping that the grounds will be filled with football fa ns the grounds will be filled with football fans next weekend. an opportunity to celebrate the women's and we hope to continue to build interest. so that's what tomorrow looks like, then. but what does it mean to actually be stepping out in a massive stadium against your local rivals? tottenham ladies captain jenna schillaci will lead out her side at the tottenham hotspur stadium against arsenal and she's been speaking with football focus‘ caroline de morais. i think it's absolutely massive especially on the back of the wimbley game that has jus

arsene wenger is back in football. as he's taken a seniorjob at fifa. the 70—year—old is their new chief of global football development. there had been rumours in germany, that he would take over at bayern munich until the end of the season, but that now looks very unlikely. wenger hasn't worked in football since leaving arsenal 18 months ago, after 22 years in charge. i want to share the knowledge i have of the game i love, and maybe one of the best positions to do that is at fifa because of football has a huge responsibility today but still a lot to achieve, and let of development and responsibility all over the world. staying with football as the women's super league leaders, chelsea have signed one of the best strikers in the women's game — sam kerr. she's the all time goal scorer in both the american and australian leagues. lots of european clubs were chasing her, but she's decided to sign a two year contract with chelsea. nick parrott reports. fleet of foot and shop of mind, sam kerr is one of the worlds best strikers. can she finish? yes yo

the game itself saw frustration continue for arsenal with 1—1 draw. they had taken the lead through pierre emerick aubameyang, but wolves kept up their impressive run against the big six teams with an equaliser late on. it's been a turbulent week for arsenal given everything that's happened with xha ka, who's their club captain. this result doesn't make things much better. the match for me was equal for two teams. and if you don't discard a single goal,... they did that. more pushing than playing, they're getting better opportunities to score. a draw is not good for us. those the results involving the sides at the top but some great stories through the division today. sheffield united are up to sixth now after thrashing burnley 3—0 at home. there were two forjohn lundstram — a man who eiptomises sheffield united — earned his stripes in the lower leagues, has played in all four tiers of english football and on the scoresheet twice today. a crucial win too for newcastle united who survived a late fightback to beat west ham 3—2 — jonjo shelvey

third placed arsenal beat liverpool 1—0, everton won a third league match in a row as they finished 3—1 winners over tottenham. manchester united beat brighton 4—0 whilst reading won 3—2 winners at west ham and continuing with women's football, up in scotland glasgow city have beaten hibernian in the womens scottish cup final in a seven goal thriller. it was clare shine who got the winner in the 90th minute with a stunning solo effort. look at this. the victory means that they finish the season with a league and cup double. england's cricketers are in a battle to save the first test against new zealand after bj watling scored a sensational double century on day four in mount maunganui. the hosts declared on 615 for 9. england will have to bat for the whole of the final day with just seven wickets in hand if they're to force a draw. joe lynskey reports. it is cricket's postcard venue but this test match for england now has a worrying picture. on day four they would need four wickets to bowl new zealand out. instead they were stopped by patient batting. an approach that brought ne

various arsenal supporters‘ groups have issued a statement addressing "grave concerns" over the club's future, worried about a slide in form, a lack of leadership from the hierarchy and the ‘toxic atmosphere' at the emirates stadium. this is one fan — pippa monique. i feel like he's had ifeel like he's had enough chances to imprint something on this club on this team. he has not imprinted anything. i don't know his philosophy, his tactics, i don't know anything. i don't even think the players know what they're supposed to do. i don't think the owner is ever going to give up this clu b owner is ever going to give up this club because he has heard the fans voice over the last few years saying they're voice over the last few years saying they‘ re unhappy voice over the last few years saying they're unhappy and they want him out. he never comes to games anyway. i don't think he is selling this business anytime soon. it is busily working for him, it is just not working for him, it is just not working for him, it is just not working for the fans. —— it is obviously working for him.

fans but there arejust some things tottenham and arsenal fans but there are just some things you wouldn‘t do. not because of your feelings about the club but what chelsea has given me over my time as a player and now. and it‘sjust certainly not on my list. welljose mourinho‘s return has certainly got everyone talking. including the man who replaced him at manchester united nearly a year ago — ole gunnar solskjaer. he says his arrival back to the premier league will be a "circus". and has given his reaction to new tottenham managers comments on social media suggesting that the united midfielder, nemanja matic could be reunited with mourinho for third time. no, that was... that‘s not the part of being boring. when it is like this, you likejose coming back and it will be a spectacle and a circus, and nemanja‘s got a sense of humour. two of the biggest clubs in south america have arrived in peru to find out who will become the continent‘s club champion. the libertadores cup final will also provide south america‘s entry to the club world cup next month which also includes liv

and the sun captures the moment arsenal footballer sead kolasinac prepares to fend off two moped thugs as one threatens to stab him in the street in north—west london. let's see what our reviewers make of it all. to start us off with the front page of the guardian... this is the fact that tom watson is stepping down as an mp. he has been an mpforwest stepping down as an mp. he has been an mp for west bromwich east since 2001. and really there has been an exchange of letters that have been publicised on twitter between himself and jeremy corbyn, him saying that this is personal, it is not medical. tom watson is also someone not medical. tom watson is also someone who has a book coming out in the new year, so i imagine he will spend some time publicising that, which i think is to do with his weight loss. he will be campaigning around sugar companies, doing things about remission for people with type 2 diabetes. and so i think while tom watson is standing down as deputy leader, standing down as mp, he is not going to be going anywhere in terms of british politics. giles, what do you mak
