Focus on... The title battleThe Brazilian Grand Prix is no stranger to hosting title-crowning moments. There have been six to be precise, ranging from Fernando Alonsos back-to-back success between 2005 and 2006, to Lewis Hamiltons dramatic last-lap triumph in 2008, and Sebastian Vettels recovery drive to a third world title four years ago. All five of the world champions on the current grid have clinched a title in Brazil. Will Nico Rosberg continue that pattern?Rosberg arrives in Brazil with the championship trophy in one hand. Win on Sunday and the German will follow in the footsteps of his father Keke Rosberg by taking his first ever Formula One title. Such a feat would see Nico and Keke join Graham and Damon Hill as the only two father-son combinations to win an F1 title in the history of the sport. As described in full in our title permutations explainer, Rosberg can even afford two second place finishes, or one second and a third to beat Hamilton to the crown.Hamilton has almost all the odds stacked against him, finish second to Rosberg and his rival wins; go too aggressive and end up crashing out; Rosberg wins. The task seems simple for the Briton, win and he ensures the title will go down to the final round in Abu Dhabi on November 27. Even when riding on the crest of momentum -- as he often references -- after consecutive wins in the United States and Mexico, one fact stands out. Hamilton has never won at Interlagos.He will need to buck that trend in order to stand any chance of adding a fourth world championship to his growing list of achievements this year. But at one stage Hamilton also needed to win the final four races to keep the title within reach and so far he has delivered when it matters most. The see-saw nature of this years championship fight means nothing can be taken for granted. Add to that possible rain, question marks over reliability, and factor in an increasingly competitive Red Bull package in the hands of hungry pairing Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen, and this weekend could provide another classic Brazilian Grand Prix.In need of a podiumThe pressure is showing no signs of relenting at Ferrari. In fact it neared boiling point in Mexico when Vettels potty-mouthed radio rant almost got him in serious trouble with the FIA -- little does it need off-track problems to add to its on-track ones. Ferrari is in real need of a podium, having not recorded one since Sebastian Vettel finished third in Italy. More alarming is the fact the team has only managed podiums on two occasions in the last 10 races. Its that kind of inconsistency, coupled with Red Bulls rejuvenated charge in the second half of 2016, which has seen Ferrari fall a whopping 62 points behind in the standings.In need of pointsTime is running out for Sauber to avoid its worst ever finish in F1. The Swiss team came tantalisingly close to recording its first points of the season in Mexico as Marcus Ericsson finished 11th. The agony for Sauber was a welcome relief for Manor, with the team maintaining ninth in the standings, thanks to Pascal Wehrleins point in Austria.WeatherThe weekends weather forecast looks very interesting. The Brazilian Grand Prix is often hit by rain and thunderstorms and it looks like that could be the case again -- just when Nico Rosberg would have been hoping for a normal weekend! Thunderstorms are predicted from Thursday afternoon all the way through until race day, when the thunder and lightning is expected to subside in exchange for rain showers. With a 60-90 percent chance of precipitation throughout the weekend, Interlagos unpredictable weather could play a huge factor in the direction of this years championship.PredictionRecent history suggests that Nico Rosberg has the upper hand in Brazil over Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton. The German has taken pole and gone on to win the previous two races at Interlagos. Given that Hamilton has never stood on the top step in Brazil, all signs point towards a Rosberg win. However, Hamiltons performances in the United States and Mexico were menacing, and the Briton needs a win in order to keep his title hopes alive. Given how well he performs under pressure, and with rain potentially on the cards, ESPN is backing Hamilton to finally break his Brazil duck at the 10th attempt to take the title fight to Abu Dhabi.BettingDespite never winning in Brazil, Lewis Hamilton is the bookies?favourite at 5/6 to take victory. Ricciardo (11/1) is the closest driver to take the fight to Mercedes, while in the battle for fourth, Force India are backed to edge out Williams in qualifying, with Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg tied on same odds at 200/1 compared with Valtteri Bottas (300/1) and Felipe Massa (500/1). Fernando Alonso is 9/2 to record a top six finish for McLaren.A lap with... Romain GrosjeanYou go onto the pit straight and then big braking to go to the Senna S. Very tricky turn in on the left-hand side. You really want to be well placed for the right turn two, which sets you up for turn three and the second straight. Big braking to turn four, left-hand side, 90 degrees, a pretty good corner. Then you get to the middle part -- turn five is a high-speed corner going up the crest. Its tricky.Then its turn six and the hairpin on the right-hand side. We cant use the curb as much as we used to. Turn seven is a left-hand side corner, no braking, just a lift off. Its a bit of a strange one. The second hairpin is then on the right-hand side, a second high-speed corner going down the hill, prior to the last turn. Its a left-hand corner where you really want to go early on the throttle because youre facing a wall to go up to the finish line.TyresAvailable compounds: hard, medium, softCircuit facts courtesy of Pirelli:? Interlagos is the second-shortest lap of the year, but probably the most intense as the cars are constantly cornering and dealing with traffic. This adds to the demands on the tyres.? The resurfacing a couple of years ago increased grip levels and smoothed out the bumps.? A very wide variety of weather conditions are possible, from intense heat to heavy rain.? Interlagos is one of the few anti-clockwise circuits, with the right-rear tyre doing the most work? Tyres are often subjected to combined lateral and longitudinal forces, which increase demand.

Alexis Sanchezs first-half double won the match for Arsenal, sending the Gunners third in the table and easing a little of the pressure on Arsene Wenger after a run of two wins in seven league games.Gareth McAuley hit the crossbar with a header for West Brom and Salomon Rondon failed to convert from a corner and Pulis admitted those missed chances were costly.

But hes come on and we needed that little spark we didnt have. Arsene Wenger was pleased with the quality Arsenal showed in the victory against West Brom The two goals are disappointing.ddddddddddddBut these lads have done fantastic for me this year, absolutely brilliant.

The important thing is we turn up and play the way we have played at Liverpool, United, Man City.
