Yesterday's results & headlines
Transfer market dominates a quiet domestic slate
With the Premier League long packed away and Thomas Tuchel's England camped in Florida, Tuesday's biggest stories came off the pitch. Manchester United remain bullish that they can win the race for Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson, with sources at Old Trafford insisting they are now ahead of Manchester City for the 23-year-old midfielder valued at around £100m. Tottenham, meanwhile, are pushing a deal close to £60m for Savinho, the Brazil winger seen as the next domino to fall in Pep Guardiola's summer reshape.
Lionesses suffer heaviest Wiegman-era defeat
The headline result came from Mallorca, where England Women were beaten 4-0 by Spain in a Nations League play-off carrying automatic 2027 World Cup qualification. It is the heaviest defeat Sarina Wiegman's side have suffered and leaves the European champions facing a tense play-off route to Brazil next summer. Wiegman conceded her team were "outclassed in every department" and called for a swift response in the return leg.
Racing rounds out the day at Brighton, Carlisle and Sligo
UK Flat action was confined to Brighton and Carlisle, with Sligo providing the cross-Channel jumps card. Trainers fine-tuning Royal Ascot hopefuls dominated the each-way markets at Brighton, while Monday night's Irish-themed card at Windsor drew a healthy bank-holiday-style crowd to the riverside venue. Bookmakers reported a brisk Tuesday on the World Cup outright, with England nudged into 8/1 for the trophy and Spain remaining the 4/1 favourites.
Today's fixtures & previews
Football: England's final dress rehearsal
The day belongs to England v Costa Rica, kicking off at at the Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando. It is Tuchel's last competitive look at his XI before the World Cup opens in Mexico City tomorrow night and a final chance for Cole Palmer, Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka to nail down the front three behind captain Harry Kane. Live coverage is on Amazon Prime Video. Elsewhere, the eye-catching warm-up is Portugal v Nigeria at , with Cristiano Ronaldo expected to lead the line one final time before the tournament.
Horse racing: Fontwell jumps, summer Flat support
UK racing's standout meeting is the National Hunt fixture at Fontwell Park, with the first off at . Harry Cobden partners several leading fancies and the card features a competitive 2m2f handicap hurdle that has already attracted plenty of ante-post chatter. Evening Flat racing supports the schedule for those who like their punting after dinner; expect a typical mid-June mix of nursery handicaps and run-of-the-mill class fives.
Tennis: HSBC Championships in full swing at Queen's
The HSBC Championships at The Queen's Club rolls into its second-round phase, with the WTA 500 half of the new two-week format providing the only grass-court tour event in town. British No.1 Katie Boulter is in action this afternoon as she looks to back up her opening-round win. The men's ATP 500 draw begins on Monday.
Other sport
Cricket lovers have England v West Indies ODI preparations to chew over ahead of Thursday's series opener at Edgbaston, while Formula 1 paddock attention is on tyre testing at Barcelona ahead of next weekend's Spanish Grand Prix.
Betting tips & odds analysis
1. England to win to nil — 3/5 (LiveScore Bet)
Selection: England to win and Costa Rica not to score, 90 minutes. Reasoning: Costa Rica have managed just one goal in their last four outings and Tuchel has clean sheets in six of his nine games in charge. England are unsurprisingly 2/11 to win outright, so taking the price about a shut-out for the likely starting back four of Trippier-Stones-Konsa-Lewis shaded by Jordan Pickford looks the sharper angle. BTTS No is also a fair tickle at 8/15.
2. England over 2.5 team goals — 1.90 (bet365)
Selection: England to score 3 or more goals. Reasoning: Tuchel has used these friendlies to drill rotations and the Three Lions have hit three-plus in five of their last seven home or neutral-venue matches. With Kane chasing rhythm before facing Croatia on Tuesday, expect a full-throttle first hour from a squad keen to send a message. Costa Rica's makeshift back line offers little resistance.
3. ALMUHIT — 5/2 (Bet Victor), 14:25 Fontwell
Selection: Almuhit (Faye Bramley/Harry Cobden) in the 2m2f Handicap Hurdle. Reasoning: Charlie McCann's NAP and hard to fault. The seven-year-old finished fourth in a valuable Punchestown handicap in April when last seen over timber, copes with conditions, and has been dropped 1lb since. Cobden keeps the ride, which is always a positive signal, and the trip looks ideal off a workable mark.
4. England 2-0 correct score — 5/1 (Sky Bet)
Selection: Correct score 2-0 to England. Reasoning: The most-landed England scoreline in pre-tournament friendlies over the past two cycles. Tuchel typically empties the bench from the 70th minute to manage minutes, which has a habit of capping winning margins. 5/1 is bang on the implied probability and pairs neatly with the win-to-nil play above as an each-way-flavoured combo.
5. Katie Boulter to beat Magdalena Frech — 8/11 (Paddy Power)
Selection: Boulter match winner at the HSBC Championships. Reasoning: Grass is comfortably Boulter's surface — she has won 14 of her last 17 completed matches on lawns — and Frech has lost both her previous tour-level meetings on grass. The home support at Queen's should do the rest in what shapes up as a momentum-builder ahead of Eastbourne.
Player news & injury updates
Reece James and Djed Spence back in training
Tuchel will have a near-clean bill of health in Orlando. Reece James (hamstring) and Djed Spence (jaw) are both back in full training and pushing for minutes tonight, although the head coach is expected to manage their loads carefully. Tino Livramento's persistent thigh issue keeps him a level below match-fit, with Tuchel admitting "we may need a few first-half minutes for him at some stage this week".
Kane chasing Wright record
Captain Harry Kane will lead England out at his third World Cup, equalling the captaincy record set by Billy Wright in the 1950s. Tuchel confirmed Kane will start but is unlikely to play the full 90 minutes with the Croatia opener just a week away.
Savinho closing on north London move
The Tottenham–Savinho deal continues to gather pace, with the structure now centred on a £55m guaranteed fee plus add-ons taking it to £60m. Manchester City are believed to be relaxed about losing the Brazilian provided the headline number is met and the cash is reinvested in Florian Wirtz or a like-for-like wide forward.
Elliot Anderson decision edges closer
Nottingham Forest have set a £100m valuation on Elliot Anderson and want clarity before the World Cup kicks off. Manchester United believe they have stolen a march on neighbours City, with sporting director Jason Wilcox meeting the player's representatives this week. A decision is expected once England's tournament begins.
Racing: Cobden's diary fills up
Jockey Harry Cobden is in for a busy Wednesday and Thursday, with rides booked at Fontwell today and Worcester tomorrow as he tries to stay sharp during the summer jumps lull. He retains the mount on Almuhit (see tips) and on the well-fancied novice Mountain Drift in the bumper.
