What can Tottenham expect from Roberto De Zerbi? Kelly Cates unpicks the reaction to the new head coach at Tottenham Hotspur alongside former Spurs keeper Paul Robinson. BBC Sport's Senior Football Correspondent Sami Mokbel gives news of the detail behind the deal, including the surprising news about the lack of relegation clause. Euro Leagues regular Guillem Balague spoke to De Zerbi while he was at Marseille just a few weeks ago - and drops by to explain what Tottenham can expect, while the BBC's Katie Gornall explains why the new appointment hasn't been universally well received. Meanwhile, England were beaten by Japan in their final game on home soil before the World Cup. Paul Robinson and Ian Dennis unpick the performance, while John Murray speaks to manager Thomas Tuchel, Morgan Rogers and Marc Guehi.
