Chelsea vs PSG predicted lineups for the Club World Cup Final
Enzo Maresca and Luis Enrique are both seeking sublime season cusps when Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain meet in Sunday's Club World Cup Final in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The managers for the Blues and Les Parisiens can cap their 2024-25 seasons with the first championship of the expanded Club World Cup era while also setting the table for the 2025-26 campaigns by sending a clarion call to Europe, warning of their intentions for the upcoming season. MORE — Chelsea vs PSG: Club World Cup Final preview PSG would put the finishing touch on a run for the ages, as Enrique's crew have won everything on offer to this point and done so in fantastic style aside from a slow start to the Champions League's league phase. Enrique has perhaps too-quietly produced a resume most bosses can only deliver in video games. But Maresca at 45 has become a star himself, leading Leicester City to the Premier League before delivering the Conference League to Chelsea. So which boss might outfox the other on Saturday? And which players will they choose to match up with their CWC Final foe? Chelsea predicted lineups for the Club World Cup Final There isn't a lot of real risk of surprise here, especially with Noni Madueke away from the club. We'll pick Reece James over Malo Gusto and assume Trevoh Chalobah starts over Tosin Adarabioyo next to Levi Colwill. Moises Caicedo has seemingly passed a fitness test and will slide into the midfield with Enzo Fernandez. One surprise we night predict is Joao Pedro and Liam Delap both starting, with Pedro Neto going to the right wing and Pedro going to the left side. Sanchez James— Chalobah— Colwill — Cucurella Caicedo — Fernandez Neto — Palmer— Joao Pedro Delap PSG predicted lineups for the Club World Cup Final There is little reason to believe Enrique will change anything at all about his team. We present the best unit available to him: Donnarumma Hakimi — Beraldo — Marquinhos — Mendes Vitinha — Neves — Ruiz Doue — Dembele — Kvaratskhelia

Wimbledon bosses face ratings disaster after plan to get more viewers for men's final threatens to backfire
COURT OUT Wimbledon bosses face ratings disaster after plan to get more viewers for men's final threatens to backfire WIMBLEDON's decision to change the start time of the men's singles final to try and grab the biggest TV audience might backfire – as viewers turn over to watch live football. Multiple Grand Slam champions Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz – the top two players on the ATP circuit – will face each other on Sunday in the climax to the men's Championship on Centre Court. Advertisement 5 Carlos Alacaraz and Jannik Sinner's Wimbledon final is facing a ratings disaster 5 That is because Sinner's megamatch with Alcaraz could take place at the same time as the Club World Cup final For the first time, the clash has been moved back by TWO HOURS from its normal slot of 2pm to 4pm. Wimbledon bosses are desperate to have as many eyeballs as possible globally watching the action, particularly in the key US market. They also argue this decision will give more prominence to the women's doubles final, which starts before that five-setter, though it is normally played late in the evening in front of sparse crowds. Yet the Club World Cup Final in New Jersey between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain starts at 8pm on Sunday evening on Channel 5. Advertisement And at the same time the Lionesses will continue the defence of their European football title as they take on Wales in their final group match in Switzerland. Sinner and Alcaraz played each other in the French Open final in Paris five weeks ago and that lasted five-and-a-half hours as the Spaniard, 22, sensationally came from two sets down to prevail. Should the Wimbledon final take several hours, and both men have shown supreme form this fortnight as they chase the £3million top prize, then punters may switch off before it finishes to catch the footie. And, of course, the roof might need to be closed for bad light if the match is still going on past 8.30pm.

The later start will also be a factor when the European Championships are staged in the UK in 2028. Novak Djokovic waves goodbye to Wimbledon crowd Wimbledon have defended the controversial decision, with CEO Sally Bolton saying: 'Adjusting the finals weekend to have the doubles starting at 1pm and singles at 4pm will provide a weekend of excitement.

There has been a lot of thought and data analysis before altering the finals schedule. 'It's about ensuring we have an improved experience for all involved. 'We believe we can give an outstanding outcome for everyone from the change.' Advertisement Asked if there would ever be flexibility with the timing in future years, Bolton added: 'We've been up against football and other sporting tournaments before. 'And whilst there's usually some impact, it's never caused us a significant amount of concern. 'As we were working through the range of factors in making this decision, clearly that was one of those. 'As with any change we make at the Championships, we are always reviewing the decisions we've made, whether they've worked, whether we can tweak them.
