Live Spain vs France: Lineups and updates from Nations League semi-final
Welcome to our live coverage of the second of two Uefa Nations League semi-finals, following on from Portugal defeating Germany yesterday. What is on the menu tonight? It's Spain against France, probably one of the most high-profile matches between two giants of the game in the 21st century. Between them they have six European Championships and three World Cups – with six of those nine coming this century. Many were – and probably still are – sceptical of the Nations League since it was established in 2018. Yet it is better than the previous situation of friendlies with nothing at stake, as was the case for decades. As well as providing a back-door for European Championship qualifying it allows teams to play competitive games with teams at a similar level and creates situations like this. What are the respective camps saying ahead of this clash? Spain coach Luis de la Fuente denied that Spain were favourites. 'We're in the final four. We're playing against a European champion. There are no favourites. Four games, four finals. Germany vs Portugal could be the final of a Euro, or the World Cup. It's very difficult for me to say we're favourites when we're surrounded by such good sides. Anybody can win this.' Didier Deschamps, France's longstanding coach, has said he is not looking for revenge after his team's Euro 2024 defeat to Spain last year. 'I don't like the word revenge. This is a different tournament and it's a new semi-final with an opportunity to get into the final. I'm not going to go back to the semi-final last year even though Spain did dominate us, especially in controlling possession. 'I'm not denying that they were superior in some aspects last time we played them, but I don't think that there was much between us, and it was a close call.' Spain are favourites, though not by an enormous amount. As always, it's 90 minutes of football and it could go either way. We kick off at 8pm BST.

The Daily T: Has Reform just imploded?
Just ten minutes after we'd published today's podcast on whether Reform and Nigel Farage could achieve a stunning victory in Scotland in a by-election in Hamilton – a bombshell. The party chairman Zia Yusuf, the businessman who Nigel Farage long-maintained had professionalised the party since his arrival last year, and attributed many of their recent successes to, has resigned. The news came after a row during Prime Minister's Questions yesterday when Reform's newest MP, Sarah Pochin, asked Keir Starmer whether it was time to ban the burka. Yusuf publicly criticised the intervention as 'dumb' and 'nothing to do with me', and announced his shock departure a day later with the polls still open in Hamilton. Gordon Rayner and Tony Diver react to the news in a bonus extra Daily T, with Tony having just spoken to a Conservative MP delighted that Reform had 'imploded, at last'.
