Arsenal's Mesut Ozil & Sead Kolasinac '100%' ready to play

Arsenal manager Unai Emery is "100%" confident Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac are mentally ready to play against Burnley on Saturday.

The pair were left out of the Gunners' season-opening win over Newcastle because of "further security fears" after being involved in a carjacking attempt by an armed gang in July.

Midfielder Ozil and left-back Kolasinac have now returned to training.

"It's good news for us because they can help us in matches," Emery said.

"My focus is to be positive and focus on making sure the players are 100% in their minds here.

"I want to help them to be with us, back to normal training, thinking about football. Above all, I want them to be able to focus on each training session and each match.

"They came back to training with us on Tuesday. I think each session gives us good information and good different options with them also to take the decision if they're going to be with us on Saturday or be in the first XI. But we are going to wait until tomorrow, our last training session."

Liverpool and Chelsea to meet in final - why you should care

The Uefa Super Cup takes centre stage on Wednesday with Champions League winners Liverpool taking on Europa League victors Chelsea at the Besiktas Park in Istanbul.

It is a big opportunity for one of these two sides to win their first piece of silverware this season, but just how much should you care about the game?

Here are five reasons why it is a fixture worth your time.

The Super Cup has effectively made its home in the trophy cabinet of a Spanish club in recent years, with the past five winners all from Spain.

But it will, for the first time in 14 years, be heading to England this year, with this game being the first time it has been contested between two Premier League sides.

In total seven Super Cup finals have been between domestic rivals - five involving Spanish teams, including four since 2014, and two all-Italian ones.

Andy Murray: Scot's second thoughts over decision not to play US Open singles

Andy Murray says he has had some second thoughts about his decision not to play singles at the US Open.

Murray lost in straight sets to Richard Gasquet in Cincinnati on Monday in his first singles match for seven months.

Murray had earlier turned down a wildcard for the main draw in New York because he was not convinced his body would be ready for five-set matches.

But the qualifying matches - which begin in New York on Monday - are played over the best of three sets.

"I don't know why we didn't really think of it, but it just never crossed my mind until this morning," Murray told BBC Sport.

"When I woke up, I was like - I want to play three-set matches. I could maybe test myself there, and if I got through qualifying that might show that I'm ready to play there. But too late, unfortunately."

The US Tennis Association has already announced the names of the nine American men who have received wildcards into the qualifying draw.

The Scot, 32, will now decide, in conjunction with his team, whether to enter next week's ATP singles event in Winston-Salem.

He is then planning to play doubles and mixed doubles at the US Open, although he is yet to find a partner for either. He will not be able to play with this year's regular sidekick Feliciano Lopez, as he has agreed to play with Pablo Carreno Busta at the request of Spain's Davis Cup captain.

"Unfortunately he's taken, and a lot of the players have partners now," Murray said.

"It's not easy to find anyone at this late notice, but I'm sure we'll get someone."

In Cincinnati, Murray and Lopez have a second-round doubles match against Ryan Harrison and Jack Sock to look forward to. On Tuesday they beat the fourth seeds Dutchman Jean-Julien Rojer and Romania's Horia Tecau 3-6 6-3 10-3.

Murray was pleased with the way he played just 24 hours after contesting his first singles match since January's hip surgery.

"I felt pretty good today," he said.

"I was a little bit tired, I felt a bit drained - but more mentally rather than physically. I felt fine, so that was positive thing - maybe it showed that I wasn't running enough!

"I learnt quite a lot from yesterday - about how tough this process is probably going to be, and how long a process it will be until I'm feeling really good on the court again."

Just In: Manchester City fined but avoid transfer ban for breaching Fifa rules on under-18 signings

Manchester City have avoided a transfer ban after admitting breaching Fifa rules on signing youth players.

The Premier League champions have been fined 370,000 Swiss Francs (£315,000).

Fifa said City breached article 19 of its regulations: "International transfers of players are only permitted if the player is over the age of 18."

City say the breaches, which all occurred before December 2016, were as a result of "misinterpretation of the regulations in question".

Chelsea were banned from signing players for two transfer windows for a similar rule breach - but the club are appealing to have that overturned.

City said the rule breach was in relation to players on trial and their participation in friendly games, and that the club had been "fully compliant" since. The club also said they "co-operated fully" with Fifa's investigation.

"The club accepts responsibility for the breaches which arose as a result of misinterpretation of the regulations in question," said City.

Last year, two players from Ghana's Right to Dream football academy - Sierra Leone's George Davies and Ghanaian Dominic Oduro - told Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten that they signed for City and played in youth matches before they turned 18.

"The Fifa disciplinary committee has sanctioned English club Manchester City FC for breaches relating to the international transfer and registration of players under the age of 18," said football's world governing body in a statement.

"Manchester City FC was found to have breached, among others, article 19 of the Fifa Regulations on the status and transfer of players.

"The disciplinary committee took into account the fact that Manchester City FC accepted its responsibility and sanctioned the club with a fine of CHF 370,000."

Chelsea were sanctioned by Fifa in February for breaching rules in relation to 29 youth players, and were fined £460,000 in addition to their transfer ban.

In June the Blues, who were not allowed to make any signings in the summer transfer window, announced they were taking their appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, having failed with their first appeal to Fifa.

In May 2017, City were banned from signing academy players for two years and fined £300,000 after breaching Premier League transfer rules.

The club are currently being investigated by Uefa for alleged financial fair play violations.

Why Old Trafford feel-good factor could last this time - Phil Neville

The feel-good factor is back at Old Trafford, and this time there are some reasons why it could last.

I'm not getting carried away by the margin of Manchester United's 4-0 win over Chelsea - the scoreline did not reflect the game until the Blues collapsed towards the end.

Right up until when United scored their third and second goals in quick succession, in the 65th and 67th minutes, things were pretty even and Chelsea had some very good chances.

But what I saw on Sunday was a Manchester United team that looked like they had a spirit of togetherness, a set system  and also the right players to execute that plan.

It is very early days, but the £80m United spent on Harry Maguire already looks worthwhile, because of the effect he has had on the rest of the team.

Being realistic, looking at the quality of Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham, then United are not going to win the league.

But, on this evidence, fourth place looks very attainable and, while there is such a clear direction and also a focus on youth, then United fans will go with that whether this team is successful or not.

Manchester United remain a work in progress - Solskjaer after 4-0 win over Chelsea

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says his team are still a "work in progress" despite their 4-0 win over Chelsea on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season.

After Chelsea twice hit the post, the Reds were lucky to lead 1-0 at half-time through Marcus Rashford's penalty.

But United improved after the break as Frank Lampard's first match as Chelsea boss ended in a day to forget.

"We know we're not anywhere near the finished article," Solskjaer said.

"We are working on improving as a team and finding a style that suits us a team. We still need time but it is coming.

"Winning is a habit. We are lucky to go in 1-0 up but in the second half our nerves settled, our confidence grew."

Solskjaer's team finished sixth in the Premier League last season, 32 points adrift of champions Manchester City and five behind Tottenham in the race for Champions League qualification.

Few outside of Old Trafford have predicted United making a title challenge this season, with many believing a top-four finish would represent satisfactory progress for the 20-time English champions.

Some supporters are not convinced United did enough in the summer transfer market, having signed three players - Leicester defender Harry Maguire, Crystal Palace right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Swansea winger Daniel James - and letting striker Romelu Lukaku go to Inter Milan.

England international Maguire, now the world's most expensive defender after joining for £80m last week, was named the man of the match after a commanding display.

Wan-Bissaka, a £50m signing, also looked assured on his first competitive start, while Wales international James marked his debut with a goal seven minutes after coming on as a substitute.

Newcastle 0 Arsenal 1

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang punished slack Newcastle defending to give Arsenal victory at a rain-drenched St James' Park.

Starting with many of their £125m-worth of signings on the bench and without midfielders Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac, Gunners boss Unai Emery watched his side struggle to cut through their opponents in the first half.

That all changed just before the hour mark when Aubameyang was left unmarked on the edge of the area, collected Ainsley Maitland-Niles' cross from the right and fired past Martin Dubravka.

Emery gave £72m club-record signing Nicolas Pepe and midfielder Dani Ceballos debuts from the bench, but they failed to make much of an impression.

As for Steve Bruce, his Newcastle managerial debut was about what could have been.

The Magpies' record signing Joelinton went close with a shot blocked by Bernd Leno, before Jonjo Shelvey saw his drive crash off the woodwork.

The home side were flat for much of the second half, although another new recruit, the exciting wing prospect Allan Saint-Maximin, tested German Leno with a near-post drive.

Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac out of Arsenal's Newcastle trip over security fears

Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac are not in Arsenal's squad for Sunday's Premier League game at Newcastle because of "further security incidents".

The pair were involved in a carjacking attempt by an armed gang in north-west London a fortnight ago.

Arsenal say they are liaising with police and "providing the players and their families with ongoing support".

"The welfare of our players and their families is always a top priority," the club added.

"We have taken this decision following discussion with the players and their representatives.

"We look forward to welcoming the players back to the squad as soon as possible."

Ozil and Kolasinac were left out of a friendly against Lyon following the attempted carjacking, but both featured in the final pre-season game against Barcelona on Sunday.

The latest incidents are being investigated by police.

After the failed carjacking attempt, Kolasinac posted a picture of himself and Ozil on social media and added: "Think we're fine."

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said it was "in contact with Arsenal and will investigate any offences reported appropriatel".

Transfer deadline day signings take Premier League spending to £1.41bn

A late flurry of deadline-day signings took Premier League spending for the summer up to £1.41bn, just short of the £1.43bn record set in 2017, according to Deloitte.

Deadline day spending alone by English top-flight clubs was £170m - but on just 17 deals, the joint fewest number of transfers on the last day of the summer window since 2009.

Everton's £34m signing of forward Alex Iwobi from Arsenal was the biggest incoming Premier League deal, while the largest transfer saw Romelu Lukaku leave Manchester United for Inter Milan for £74m - a loss of £1m on the fee they paid Everton.

Arsenal were the biggest spenders in England during the window, splashing out £155m. On deadline day, they bought £25m Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney and £8m Chelsea centre-back David Luiz.

Tottenham recruited Real Betis midfielder Giovani lo Celso on loan and signed Fulham winger Ryan Sessegnon for £25m. Their pursuit of Juventus forward Paulo Dybala was one of the big stories earlier in the day but the deal fell through.

Watford spent a club record, reported to be £25m, on Rennes winger Ismaila Sarr and Leicester bought Sampdoria's attacking midfielder Dennis Praet for a reported £18m.

Three former England internationals made moves - Burnley signing Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater and Manchester City bringing in Derby goalkeeper Scott Carson,both on loan, while Newcastle re-signed free agent striker Andy Carroll.

A busy day in the Championship was headlined by West Brom spending £4m on Southampton striker Charlie Austin.

This was the second year in a row when Premier League clubs could only sign players until the day before the season started, instead of the end of August.

The deadline has also now passed for Championship clubs, but teams from Scotland, Leagues One and Two and all of Europe's major leagues can bring in players until 2 September.

The total number of Premier League signings in the summer fell for the sixth year in a row.
