Hey Sainsbury's, off to my neighbour's Christmas do later. Got any gift ideas?

How about our Taste the Difference chocolate chip short bread tin, deliciously moorish or butter biscuits in a boozy box?

Or give them a treat for the eyes and the taste buds with our indulgent taste the difference cherry and amaretto panatoni.

What do you think? I think I'd rather keep them for myself.

Looking for a tasty, festive

gift. Ask Sainsbury's. Sainsbury's good food for all of us. Subject to availability, available

in selected supermarkets and online. Welcome to the Football Reporters.

The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations kicks off this weekend.

Mark Ogden and Rob Dawson take a look at how the Premier League clubs will cope without

the African starts.

Then it's over to Ed Dove, Colin Udo and Leonard Solmes, for everything you need to know about

the tournament itself. Welcome to the Football Reporters. Well, this week we've got an Africa Cup of Nations special. The tournament starts in Morocco later this week, and it's going to have a pretty big impact on the Premier League. Certain teams have got several players that are going to be going to the tournament. Some have got a few. Others have gotten on. We'll discuss that in the next few minutes. But we're going to start off with Man United, Rob Dorson, our Manchester correspondent. Rob United have got three players that are going to the FAA combinations, two very big players in Brian and Bumo and Ahmad Diyala, but also Nassimuzrawi with Morocco, who is certainly a good utility player for Rubin Arirang's team.

I mean, how do you cope with losing two of your best players in Amadiyalo and Brian and Bwamo? Also, you mentioned there Masraou, who Amram likes quite a lot.

I mean, not only Ahmad and Wemmo, two of Amram's best players, it's also essentially the entire

right side of his team. You know, the best combinations that United have been able to put together

this season have been down that right-hand side with Ahmad and Wemmo kind of linking

up, creating chances and scoring goals themselves.

I mean, Bwamo has, I think, has got seven in 16 games for Man United this season since

joining from Brentford.

So, you know, he's one of the United's main goal threats, if not their main goal threats.

So it's going to be really, really tough for Amarim to cope.

I mean, the squad is not particularly deep anyway. He hasn't got an awful lot of options. They've made the decision to strip the squad back in the summer because they weren't playing European football. He has got, you know, players who can play in those positions, presume that it's going to be Dallow at right wingback instead of Ahmad. The front
