Tie between the tuna and (raw) cauliflower sandwich I had in Tokyo, or the ham and (raw) artichoke sandwich I had in Milan.

The Japanese aren't so famous for their sandwiches so can be forgiven. The Italians have no excuse.

Leeds United: Five frantic minutes at Selhurst Park that could shape Whites' season Ten-man Leeds earned a point at Crystal Palace with a committed display - but will rue a frantic five-minute spell when they missed a penalty and had a player sent off.

Whether Leeds' draw at Palace was a hard-fought point with 10 men after a harsh red, or a chance in the relegation battle following a missed penalty, will depend largely on your own perspective.

The truth will not be clear until the end of the season.

Second game of the weekend for me - a trip on the Jubilee and Windrush lines has taken me to Selhurst Park for Crystal Palace v Leeds.
The Eagles could move into the top 10 with a win; Leeds could be six points clear of the bottom three with victory. Follow @ BBC Sport.

Manchester City: Pep Guardiola's unbalanced team clinging to faint title hopes Saturday evening, when Arsenal earned a dramatic late win over Everton before Man City were held at West Ham, felt as if it could be pivotal in the Premier League title race.

Pep Guardiola doesn't know his best XI or formation, Erling Haaland is scrabbling for form, and they've lost 10 points from winning positions - enough to cost the Premier League lead.
Man City are not out the title race - but last night felt pivotal.

Big crowds to welcome the arrival of the England team bus at City Ground.
This is the Lionesses' first home game of 2026, their first match in Nottingham since 2018 and their first fixture at Forest's stadium since 1994. So the fans in the city are making up for lost time.
