ENTERTAINIC SOURCE

Chelsea's first game following the November international break is a big one.
They face reigning Premier League champions Manchester City at the Eithad Stadium a week on Saturday and can move four points clear of Pep Guardiola's side with victory in the day's late kick-off.
Speaking of the Spaniard, he has somewhat of a selection dilemma on his hands ahead of the game.
One player who will miss the game is Bernardo Silva.
The Portugal international is to serve a one-game suspension in relation to social media message about teammate Benjamin Mendy.
Silva was charged by the Football Association last month after he compared Mendy to the character on a packet of Conguitos - a sweet brand available in Spain and Portugal.
A statement via the FA's official website reads : "Bernardo Silva has been suspended for one first team competitive fixture, fined £50,000 and must complete face-to-face education after admitting a breach of FA Rule E3.
"The Manchester City midfielder’s social media activity on 22 September 2019 breached FA Rule E3(1), as it was insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute, and constituted an “Aggravated Breach”, which is defined in FA Rule E3(2), as it included reference, whether expressed or implied, to race and/or colour and/or ethnic origin."
