England boss Thomas Tuchel has named a 35-man squad to give fringe players an audition ahead of the World Cup in friendlies against Uruguay and Japan at Wembley with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ollie Watkins and Luke Shaw among the big omissions as James Garner earns his first senior call-up. We debate Tuchel's bold strategy - is it a stroke of genius?

Meanwhile, it's a massive weekend at the bottom of the Premier League table. We preview the high-stakes six-pointer as Spurs and Nottingham Forest battle it out.

Plus, the two top teams in the country face off for the season's first piece of silverware. Is this the start of an Arsenal dynasty, or will Man City provide a reality check?
