Jury still out on van Gaal - Hoddle
PSV Eindhoven v Manchester United (19:45 BST)
Former England international Glenn Hoddle has tipped former PSV striker Memphis for a goal against his old club, but is less positive about Louis van Gaal.
He told Zapsportz.com: “I think the jury is still out on Manchester United and Louis van Gaal’s reign there so far. It's been OK, some good results, but for me they have not really been tested as yet, and that test will come round the corner, obviously.
“For me they would have to do a lot more if they have any possibility of going all the way in the Champions League."

"It was good in those sessions we did it; it affected the intensity of the training. It's hard to hear calls and the communication in the game."
Fiji have already opted to wear white and occupy the home dressing room after winning a coin toss to help their efforts to try and cause an upset.

Van Gaal wants European success
PSV Eindhoven v Manchester United (19:45 BST)
"I think the Champions League is a higher podium than the Premier League but maybe it's not like that."
Manager Louis van Gaal will be expected to deliver on both fronts but his pre-match quotes ahead of the PSV Eindhoven match showed how much he wants to succeed in Europe.

He will have to do that without the services of Wayne Rooney, however, after the Englishman strained his hamstring in training for the weekend's win over Liverpool.
Striker James Wilson and midfielder Andreas Pereira are in the squad despite neither making an appearance this season.
Anyone for an ice cold beer?

Everyone enjoys a beer while watching sport, but not many sportsmen actually have a beer while playing sport.
Well, that is unless you are University of Virginia goaltender Jake Anderson who, with his team leading 7-0, was handed a beer over the barrier by a fan and proceeded it down it. Anderson was swiftly ejected from the game.

His own university's match report said: "Jake Anderson had a shutout through two periods until he was disqualified for consuming an alcoholic beverage on the ice.
"This selfish act drew eerie parallels to the maturity of a middle schooler desperate for attention from his crush."
No Aguero, no problem?
Manchester City v Juventus (19:45 BST)
The absence of striker Sergio Aguero would be dismal news for most Manchester City fans ahead of a Champions League match, but there have been goals everywhere in Manuel Pellegrini's side this season.
Aguero, 27, picked up a knee injury during the 1-0 win at Crystal Palace on Saturday, however winger Raheem Sterling has recovered from a hamstring problem, while David Silva is available after ankle trouble.

"I hope Aguero will be OK for the weekend but we must wait to see the result of the scans," said manager Manuel Pellegrini.
Midfielder Juan Mata has been speaking ahead of Tuesday's Champions League tie against PSV Eindhoven, describing it as a "special" game for Memphis, who moved from the Dutch club to Old Trafford over the summer.
He said: "It reminds me of my visit to Valencia with Chelsea a few months after my arrival in England.

“PSV is an historic team in European football, although they haven't participated in the group stage in the last few years. I remember watching [PSV manager] Cocu when he was a player. He's doing a good job: they haven't been defeated so far this season."
Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has said the return of striker Daniel Sturridge from injury is crucial for getting their season back on track.
He also said the return of Philippe Coutinho from suspension and captain Jordan Henderson from injury will see Brendan Rodgers's side mount a fightback following a mixed start.
PACopyright: PA
He told a US radio station: "I think it's vital Daniel Sturridge is back playing and firing as soon as possible.
"I think the key is the partnership he forms with [Christian] Benteke because if they click together there's plenty more big games to finish high up in the league."

BBC Radio Solent's Kevan James at Southampton: "Hampshire claimed maximum batting bonus points for the first time this season as Liam Dawson (140) hit his first Championship hundred of the summer.
"Some lusty hitting at the end enabled Hampshire to reach their fifth point with five balls to spare.
"It could have been worse for Yorkshire as Gary Balance (14*) has already been dropped in the gully. "
"No play has been possible on day two, despite the best efforts of the ground staff, with umpires Nigel Llong and Richard Kettleborough deciding the outfield is too wet following torrential rain earlier.
"Bottom club Worcestershire are 223-4 in their first innings.

After finishing second in Serie A to Juventus for the past two seasons, Roma has already recorded a victory over the Turin team this season - clinched by the 29-year-old Dzeko, who has joined on a season-long loan from Manchester City.
"A big guy in the middle, it's a striker we have not had for 10 to 12 years,'' Pallotta said.

Jose Mourinho admits there is a mood of disappointment around Chelsea, describing the club's start to the season as "so bad" but reminding his critics that he remains a champion of England.
Mourinho was at his spikiest during an exchange with the BBC (see 12:27) and during questions about why he had failed to stay at a single club for longer than three or four seasons. He concluded by saying that he had nothing to prove to anyone, having described himself as the Special AND Happy One.
Chelsea news conference
Football
Crisis? What crisis? That appeared to be the message from Jose Mourinho.
The Chelsea manager gave a typically entertaining news conference in which he swung from spiky to smiles, admitting he was frustrated at the club's worst start to a season since 1986 but denying that the dressing room was in any way divided. Here are the main quotes...
On one win in five Premier League matches: "The start really is so bad. So bad."
On early pressure on his job following a poor start and off-the-pitch issues: "I am the champion of England, why should I be in trouble? Why?"
On getting used to losing: "I am not happy, I am not used to losing so many times. I am not adapting to losing, I am adapting to the situation or the challenge. I am OK."
Chelsea news conference
A last snippet from Mourinho before he departs.
"You have to go game to game," adds the manager. " We know we are points behind in the Premier League. But in the Champions League we know we need to qualify because it is important for the club economically and for us as professionals.
"We feel we belong to the Champions League not the Europa League and if we can get three points tomorrow it would be a first step for us."
One journalist asks if he was deliberately prioritising the Champions League ahead of the Premier League: "It would be easy for me to say that," the boss replies. "But I cannot tell you something that is not true. We do not prioritise competitions."

On tomorrow's game against Maccabi Tel Aviv: "They are good enough to beat us. But we also know we are a better team, we have to prove that in the game.
"I respect them. I watched them play in many matches, I did my study, I know their team, I also had information that in the last week they have trained with a different system and will probably play five defenders.
"Watford did that last season with the same manager, so we are prepare for both - for them playing their normal way and also ready if they come with five defenders. We know what to do. We trust ourselves and we think we can win the game, but respect is a good saying in football."

More from Mourinho, this time slightly more bullish: "We know what we are - champions of England. The fans sing that... nobody can steal what we are or our trophies or our history, you can try but you can't do that. We are champions of England.

A rather brave journalist asks if Mourinho's hair signifies his mood, suggesting that his new short cut suggests he means business.
"My haircut isn't as radical as it has been. I am fine, I promise you," he says.

Mourinho - looking remarkably relaxed given the situation his team are in - smiles and shakes his head.

Mourinho said before his first spell at Chelsea that he was The Special One. When he got the job second time around he claimed he was The Happy One. Asked what he was now, the Chelsea boss replied: "I am still special and happy."
But he didn't sound so happy when the BBC's Ben Smith asked about the third season syndrome (Mourinho has never managed at a club for more than three full seasons).
AFPCopyright: AFP
"At Porto I didn't have a third season. My third season at Inter I didn't have," he replies. "My third season at Chelsea in first time I won FA Cup and Carling Cup and I played Champions League semi. Third season in Madrid I won Super Cup, lost the Cup Final, and I went to Champions League semi. These are my third seasons so click Google instead of stupid questions."
Ben tries to interject but Jose is having none of it. "I'm telling you the question is stupid because the third season is what I told you. The point is that the question is stupid." Time to move on...

Here at Chelsea's training ground in Cobham, the heavens have opened as Jose Mourinho puts his players through their paces ahead of the Champions League opener with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The media, as is the norm, were granted access to the first 15 minutes of training and for much of that period Mourinho kept his back turned, deep in conversation with one of his staff.
He has much to ponder after the worst start to a season in his glittering managerial career and we will hear from the man himself and goalkeeper Asmir Begovic in the next 30 minutes.
In his current state of mind, no one really knows what to expect. The charming one? Or the grumpy one?

Domination for years to come?
Tennis
Russell Fuller
BBC tennis correspondent
The reality is that over the next three years, only Novak Djokovic looks to have the tools to dominate a Grand Slam season in the way he did this one.
He has no weaknesses and is incredibly comfortable on all surfaces, whether there is a roof over his head or not.
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
His coaching set-up appears ideal: Marian Vajda has been with Djokovic for the best part of a decade, and Boris Becker, who joined the team in December 2013, offers the perspective of a fellow Grand Slam champion.
The great imponderable is whether he will still have the desire, as well as the physical and mental capacity, to keep regularly winning Grand Slams into his 30s.
Daily Mail:Chelseahave denied a claim captain John Terry and forward Diego Costa were involved in a training-ground row.

His own university's match report said: "Jake Anderson had a shutout through two periods until he was disqualified for consuming an alcoholic beverage on the ice.

After finishing second in Serie A to Juventus for the past two seasons, Roma has already recorded a victory over the Turin team this season - clinched by the 29-year-old Dzeko, who has joined on a season-long loan from Manchester City.

Jose Mourinho admits there is a mood of disappointment around Chelsea, describing the club's start to the season as "so bad" but reminding his critics that he remains a champion of England.
Mourinho was at his spikiest during an exchange with the BBC (see 12:27) and during questions about why he had failed to stay at a single club for longer than three or four seasons. He concluded by saying that he had nothing to prove to anyone, having described himself as the Special AND Happy One.

Crisis? What crisis? That appeared to be the message from Jose Mourinho.
The Chelsea manager gave a typically entertaining news conference in which he swung from spiky to smiles, admitting he was frustrated at the club's worst start to a season since 1986 but denying that the dressing room was in any way divided. Here are the main quotes...
On one win in five Premier League matches: "The start really is so bad. So bad."
On early pressure on his job following a poor start and off-the-pitch issues: "I am the champion of England, why should I be in trouble? Why?"
On getting used to losing: "I am not happy, I am not used to losing so many times. I am not adapting to losing, I am adapting to the situation or the challenge. I am OK."

A last snippet from Mourinho before he departs.
"You have to go game to game," adds the manager. " We know we are points behind in the Premier League. But in the Champions League we know we need to qualify because it is important for the club economically and for us as professionals.
"We feel we belong to the Champions League not the Europa League and if we can get three points tomorrow it would be a first step for us."
One journalist asks if he was deliberately prioritising the Champions League ahead of the Premier League: "It would be easy for me to say that," the boss replies. "But I cannot tell you something that is not true. We do not prioritise competitions."

On tomorrow's game against Maccabi Tel Aviv: "They are good enough to beat us. But we also know we are a better team, we have to prove that in the game.
"I respect them. I watched them play in many matches, I did my study, I know their team, I also had information that in the last week they have trained with a different system and will probably play five defenders.
"Watford did that last season with the same manager, so we are prepare for both - for them playing their normal way and also ready if they come with five defenders. We know what to do. We trust ourselves and we think we can win the game, but respect is a good saying in football."

More from Mourinho, this time slightly more bullish: "We know what we are - champions of England. The fans sing that... nobody can steal what we are or our trophies or our history, you can try but you can't do that. We are champions of England.
"When you are used to winning all the time, then when you don't it is a strange feeling. Some people deal well with it, others not as good."

A rather brave journalist asks if Mourinho's hair signifies his mood, suggesting that his new short cut suggests he means business.
"My haircut isn't as radical as it has been. I am fine, I promise you," he says.
It's not stress making your hair fall out then, says the journo?
Mourinho - looking remarkably relaxed given the situation his team are in - smiles and shakes his head.

Mourinho said before his first spell at Chelsea that he was The Special One. When he got the job second time around he claimed he was The Happy One. Asked what he was now, the Chelsea boss replied: "I am still special and happy."
But he didn't sound so happy when the BBC's Ben Smith asked about the third season syndrome (Mourinho has never managed at a club for more than three full seasons).
"At Porto I didn't have a third season. My third season at Inter I didn't have," he replies. "My third season at Chelsea in first time I won FA Cup and Carling Cup and I played Champions League semi. Third season in Madrid I won Super Cup, lost the Cup Final, and I went to Champions League semi. These are my third seasons so click Google instead of stupid questions."
Ben tries to interject but Jose is having none of it. "I'm telling you the question is stupid because the third season is what I told you. The point is that the question is stupid." Time to move on...

Mourinho admits his team are simply not used to losing so many matches and that this has affected confidence within the squad.
He adds: "I promise you I am fine. I am not happy. I am not used to losing so many times but I am adapting to the challenge."
The Chelsea boss explains that Oscar and Baba Rahman will be involved against Maccabi Tel Aviv on Wednesday but Falcao misses out.

More from Mourinho on the morale at Stamford Bridge after a difficult and incident-packed start to the season. He says it is "normal his team are frustrated and unhappy at the moment".
A drubbing at Everton, post-match words with Roberto Martinez, banter bans, off-the-pitch drama concerning team doctor Eva Carneiro and on-the-pitch drama about the future of John Terry have been just some of the issues he's faced so far this season.

Here at Chelsea's training ground in Cobham, the heavens have opened as Jose Mourinho puts his players through their paces ahead of the Champions League opener with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The media, as is the norm, were granted access to the first 15 minutes of training and for much of that period Mourinho kept his back turned, deep in conversation with one of his staff.
He has much to ponder after the worst start to a season in his glittering managerial career and we will hear from the man himself and goalkeeper Asmir Begovic in the next 30 minutes.
In his current state of mind, no one really knows what to expect. The charming one? Or the grumpy one?

Domination for years to come?
Tennis
Russell Fuller

The reality is that over the next three years, only Novak Djokovic looks to have the tools to dominate a Grand Slam season in the way he did this one.
He has no weaknesses and is incredibly comfortable on all surfaces, whether there is a roof over his head or not.
His coaching set-up appears ideal: Marian Vajda has been with Djokovic for the best part of a decade, and Boris Becker, who joined the team in December 2013, offers the perspective of a fellow Grand Slam champion.
The great imponderable is whether he will still have the desire, as well as the physical and mental capacity, to keep regularly winning Grand Slams into his 30s.

...in 1985, Tony Jacklin's European team inflicted defeat on the Americans in the Ryder Cup for the first time in 28 years at The Belfry.
Europe won convincingly in the end, 16.5 to 11.5, with Sam Torrance securing the winning margin when he holed a 22-foot putt to defeat Andy North.
Interestingly - or it is to us - this was the last Ryder Cup not televised live in the United States.
