Piastri and Norris will be eager for good outings in Singapore. The team's strong form for most of the season means they could wrap up a tenth constructors championship on race day, but the Dutchman's improved form has triggered anxiety.

3:00 PMArsenal v West Ham and Manchester United v Sunderland live
Live blog on key matches with a pair of managers especially under pressure. The constant attention on Ruben Amorim’s travails at United has ramped up to a crucial point, and the meeting with Sunderland has all the signs of a watershed before the break for internationals. The manager's 50th match in charge may be his final, even though the team winning their past two home fixtures. After 49 games, his stats stands at: won 18, 12 draws, lost 19. That 36.7 percent win rate is much lower with his predecessor's Erik ten Hag’s 70 percent at the same stage. West Ham, meanwhile, play for their second game under Nuno, after Monday’s 1-1 tie at Goodison Park. The Hammers have the curious record of having defeated the Gunners in consecutive games at the Emirates. Another loss at home by their London rivals seems unlikely given the Arsenal's recent form – six victories from their last eight Premier League fixtures.

Pre-race analysis and washup from one of the horse racing's biggest events will be provided. In a field of seventeen for the 3.05pm feature race, the Aidan O’Brien-trained Minnie Hauk is the 3/1 favorite after being given a favourable starting position in gate 1. The trainer, who is seeking a third win in the race, also runs another contender, third-placed last year, but he will have to overcome gate 14 to claim victory. Another runner, who is just after Minnie Hauk in the betting, was given stall 12. Chances of a maiden Japanese winner were dealt a blow, with the Japanese Derby winner, one entry, and the Prix Foy winner, another, assigned in gates 17 and 15 each. Their compatriot Alohi Alii appears better placed in gate 4.
