A resolution to the matter is now not expected to be delivered until next week at the earliest.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fernando Alonso is thought to have already signed to take one of the seats, but discussions over whether the experience of Button or the youth of Magnussen represents the better bet in the other seat have continued without resolution for weeks.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On the same day as the McLaren board meeting, Button and Magnussen appeared alongside each other at a sponsor event in Edinburgh, and despite the unavoidable fact that one of them is set to land a 2015 race seat at the expense of the other, the pair made clear their respect for each other.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Really good to spend some time with JB too. He is an awesome guy and no matter what happens next year, I'm cheering for him. #lad,” Magnussen tweeted.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Button, meanwhile, had some similarly warm words of praise for Magnussen, with the 34-year-old expressing regret that whatever happens they wouldn’t remain as team-mates in McLaren’s race line-up.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">"I've spent some time with Kevin over the past couple of days, and it's been really nice doing that,” Button said. "This situation has been difficult for both of us, but we've shown over the last couple of days that we work so well together.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"It's such a shame we won't be working together in the future in terms of being team-mates. But we're both very grown up about the situation and we'll both deal with it whichever way it goes."</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The inconclusive nature of McLaren’s board meeting was met with widespread dismay by the media along with Button’s legion of fans, who have already been campaigning on social media for the popular British driver’s retention for weeks.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On Thursday night Button posted a tweet which simply contained the image of an expressionless face, the veteran having earlier told <em>Sky Sports News HQ</em> before the conclusion of McLaren’s board meeting that “I think for all of our sakes it is better sooner rather than later” to have a decision on 2015.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1.4em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><em>Sky Sports News HQ</em> understands that while McLaren’s shareholders remain undecided on who to place alongside Alonso for next season, they are determined not to let the uncertainty drag on for much longer, with a conclusion to the long-running saga potentially now occurring next week.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">“I understand that at this board meeting, the significant board members genuinely could not decide on what their best line-up is.

<span style="font-size: large;">“It’s open-ended as to how long this will take but my understanding is this will not be allowed to drag on to the next board meeting in the New Year. So we’re looking at a period of days rather than weeks and what will happen is those three principals will confer informally over the phone in the meantime and come to some sort of realisation, I would guess in the next week or so.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The deliberations over McLaren’s 2015 line-up comes amid speculation that changes to the ownership structure at the team are also prospectively afoot, with Ron Dennis aiming to re-increase his stake. The McLaren CEO currently owns 25 per cent of the company, the same percentage as long-time business partner Mansour Ojjeh. Bahrain’s Mumtalakat Investment Company is the majority shareholder with 50 per cent.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Just how pivotal is midfielder Nemanja Matic to Premier League leaders Chelsea’s game? Well, we’ll find out this weekend at Newcastle. The Serb, who has played in every minute of Chelsea’s Premier League season, is suspended after picking up his fifth booking of the season against Tottenham.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas have claimed all the headlines this season after their big-money transfers, but most Chelsea fans will tell you that their unbeaten start has been built around the controlled presence of their midfield lynchpin.

<span style="font-size: large;">Stoke skipper Ryan Shawcross has warned Arsenal to expect a cauldron of hate at the Britannia Stadium. "The fans dislike Arsenal so it’s going to be a tasty game. Hopefully the atmosphere will be buzzing and we can get three points," said the defender earlier this week.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It’s a rivalry that has some roots from when a Shawcross tackle left Aaron Ramsey with a broken leg.

<span style="font-size: large;">At the start of a huge period of games for Liverpool, will Brendan Rodgers give Steven Gerrard a break ahead of important fixtures against Basel and Manchester United?

<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><br />Sunderland were on the receiving end of an Aguero assault when he scored two and made one in Wednesday's 4-1 blitz and their manager had this advice for Roberto Martinez: “You need to be very good individually, you need to be aware, you need to be powerful, you need to be quick and you need to cover each other. You need to always concentrate and you need to be spot on."</span><span style="font-size: large;">Sergio Aguero scored in both of the league clashes between Manchester City and Everton last season and he has now scored more goals than Sunderland (13), Burnley (10) and Aston Villa (8) in the Premier League this season (14).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Just six of Manchester United’s 25 points so far this season have been claimed away from Old Trafford and they have won just once on the road, but four straight wins have eased the pressure on Louis van Gaal’s shoulders.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">St Mary's has been a fortress this season, but Southampton’s confidence is wobbling following defeats against Man City and Arsenal. Plus with injuries to the likes of Jack Cork, Toby Alderweireld, Morgan Schneiderlin, Jay Rodriguez and James Ward-Prowse, United may be travelling at just the right time.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It’s no coincidence that since West Brom’s star striker stopped banging them in, the Baggies' form has nosedived – they have lost their last four matches. The 21-year-old has not found the net since converting a late penalty against Crystal Palace in October – 436 minutes of football ago.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The pressure is growing on Baggies boss Alan Irvine but he insists he does not fear losing his job following a meeting with chairman Jeremy Peace earlier this week. However, defeat to Hull, who are just a point below them in the bottom-half scrap, will not leave him sleeping easy on Saturday night.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Charlie Austin has scored four goals in QPR’s last three Premier League home games while Burnley’s hotshot Danny Ings has bagged three in his last four. Both have huge goalscoring responsibilities on their shoulders for this weekend’s key relegation clash at Loftus Road. Roy Hodgson will be keeping a close eye, for sure.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Clarets edged above QPR in the table with a 1-1 draw against Newcastle in midweek and have now gone four matches unbeaten in the top-flight for the first time since October 1975. They are also unbeaten in their last nine matches against QPR in all competitions and will be looking to build on their last away outing when they won 2-1 at Stoke.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Spurs fans have endured a frustrating start to the campaign, seeing their side lose four of their seven Premier League home games, but Harry Kane told Sky Sports this week that a Champions League qualifying berth is still an achievable goal for Mauricio Pochettino's men. They are just four points off the pace and will edge closer to Kane’s target with a win over Crystal Palace at White Hart Lane.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pochettino acknowledged his side need to be more clinical after missing a couple of early opportunities in their 3-0 loss to the Premier League leaders. They will be desperate not to make the same mistakes in front of their own fans at White Hart Lane, where Spurs have lost four of their seven league matches this season.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">

<span style="font-size: large;">With third-placed Southampton and fourth-placed Manchester United clashing on Monday Night Football, the Hammers could be in nosebleed territory this weekend. Relegation fears have been replaced by European qualification in east London and the Hammers will leap up to third with a win over fellow high-flyers Swansea City.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<span style="font-size: large;">However, Garry Monk's men know that victory will see them leapfrog their opponents in the table and the Welsh outfit could be realistic top-four contenders if they can string a run of results together over the Christmas period.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Since firing five past Manchester United in September, Leicester City have scored just five goals in nine games and are rock bottom of the Premier League. Things don’t get much easier this weekend as they travel to defensively sound Aston Villa who, despite a battered and bruised back four, have conceded just two goals in their last four games.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Villa are not much better in front of goal themselves - they have found the net just eight times in their 14 games this season - but come into this game high on confidence after getting a huge 1-0 win at Crystal Palace on Tuesday night.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>   S</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">outhampton's blistering start to the campaign has been nothing short of breathtaking. Consecutive defeats to Manchester City and Arsenal however appear to have knocked the Saints down to earth and, for the first time this season, have really questioned their top-four credentials.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But with Manchester United coming to town on Monday night, Carragher sees no reason for doom and gloom on the south coast...</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.2em;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">How important is Monday’s game for Southampton, especially after two defeats in a row?</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">CARRA SAYS: </strong>I think Southampton will be looking at Monday’s game – along with the last two against Man City and Arsenal - as bonus games really. No one was expecting Southampton to get anything from these three games but on the other hand you don’t want to lose three on the bounce. I watched their last two games and in the City game, from start to finish, City were much better.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But I watched the Arsenal game and they were very unfortunate, not just because of Alexis Sanchez’s late goal but they had an excellent chance to take the lead through Graziano Pelle early on and overall they played well, they never really looked in too much trouble. They went down to 10 men because of the injury to Toby Alderweireld and they suffered with that but they definitely deserved a draw and if they put in a similar performance at home I think they’ll give United a really tough game.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">St Mary’s has been a really tough place to go to for a few years now – initially, while under Mauricio Pochettino, Southampton took some big scalps. Ronald Koeman has come in now and done a great job but they are yet to really beat what you would call a top team, the sort of side that you would class as a higher quality. From Tottenham and Liverpool away at the start of the season they have always come up short even though they played well, they never really took a big scalp and I think Monday presents a perfect chance for them to claim that elusive win against a big side. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">CARRA SAYS: </strong>We’ve always said from the start that Southampton’s first XI will give anyone in the league a game. I’m a big fan of theirs, they’ve got great pace, strength and ability in the team they’re organised. They’ve got a lot of things going for them but where they can’t match the big teams is in size of squad and quality of payer in reserve and when they do have injuries it will tell. They’ll be missing Schneiderlin, who I think is a fantastic player, Alderweireld come off the other night and he’s a good player as well so when they do get injuries that’s the problem for the so called ‘lesser’ clubs.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It’s tough for everyone who plays games that close together over Christmas but it’s whether they can keep players fit. And that’s the same for a lot of teams really besides the top teams as most of them don’t have the numbers or quality in reserve. Southampton are very good team. It’s not a flash in the pan what they’ve done this season.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They’re a good team and if you beat Southampton, whoever you are, you’ve done well. It was only the City game really where someone looked a class above them but we're talking about champions who’ve got world-class players and that can happen to anyone. Southampton have been one of the stories of the season so far and if you do beat them it’s a big scalp because they’re a very good team. </span></div>

How impressed have you been with the United’s form?</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">CARRA SAYS:</strong> United are in great form in terms of results and obviously they’ve got injury problems as well so you’ve got to give them massive credit. When you look at the Arsenal game, people say they didn’t play to well to start with but to go the Emirates and get a win with the team they had out was fantastic. If you look at his record in the big games he’s done quite well. Obviously they drew with Chelsea, where they played well and got a decent result, they beat Arsenal and against City they were well in that game until they went down to 10 men so as I said they’ve had a lot of good results of late but it going to be a tough game now going away to Southampton.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">CARRA SAYS:</strong> A lot of money has been spent at Manchester United, even under David Moyes with the arrival of Juan Mata in January and then Van Gaal in the summer. There’s a lot of top players there so, considering they have had no European commitments, for them to be in the top four around Christmas would be the minimum you would expect. They’ve got the advantage that Liverpool had last season in having no European football but on the other hand they have had a lot of injury problems so all in all I think Louis van Gaal has had a decent start. If United were any lower than where they are now I think there would be a few more questions asked.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">CARRA SAYS: </strong>He’s been brilliant. He’s arguably been the best goalkeeper in the league so far – I’d probably just edge towards Thiabut Courtois because of his size over De Gea - but in terms of performance no one has done better than him. He’s obviously had more to do than Courtois, who has a better defence in front of him and gets more protection, but De Gea has not only been one of the best goalkeepers but maybe one of the players of the season. If you think back to how he was when he first came – he’s filled out, got more experience and he’s looking like a great acquisition by Sir Alex Ferguson. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.2em;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Can United do the unthinkable and challenge for the Premier League title?</span></strong></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; margin-bottom: 1.2em;">CARRA SAYS:</strong> What this season? No chance! United won’t challenge for the title this season but with the money that’s rumoured to be spent in January, or in the summer, you would expect them to be up there challenging sooner rather than later. A couple a years ago under Sir Alex Ferguson they were champions and the drop has been quite big - going from champions to missing out on Champions League football. The main aim of the club is to just qualify for the Champions League again and I am sure if they achieve that this season, the aim will be to challenge for the title next season. With the money they have, and who they’ll look to bring in, you would definitely expect that.</span></div>
