This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

Arsenal and England right-back Alex Scott will appear alongside Jimmy Bullard on London Live.

The 31-year-old, who is vice-captain and has more than 100 caps for England, playing in three World Cups as well as the London 2012 Olympics, will make her first appearance on Jimmy Bullard Kicks Off on Friday, 15 January.

One of the most decorated players in the women's game, Scott has also won numerous trophies with Arsenal.

"When I was offered the chance to present with my mate Jimmy, I jumped at the chance," she said. "I’m a big fan of Kicks Off and loved being on the show as a guest a few weeks ago, so when I was asked to join the team I was thrilled. Over the last few years women’s football has grown considerably and I hope that I can continue to help build awareness both as a footballer and now as a broadcaster too."

Former Chelsea and Tottenham man Jason Cundy will continue to host the show on a Monday.

Bullard added: "Alex is an brilliant footballer and has a cracking personality, so is a great addition to the team. I can’t wait to present the show with my mate every Friday night and create even more chaos!"

Jason Cundy Kicks Off airs every Monday live at 7pm. Jimmy Bullard Kicks Off airs every Friday live at 7pm
