FIFA inspectors have arrived in London for a four-day visit to check out England's bid to host the 2018 World Cup football finals.

The six-man inspection team have toured Wembley Stadium, and they'll be visiting other stadiums in Manchester, Sunderland and Newcastle this week.

England hosted the 1966 finals, but Russia is considered the frontrunner for 2018.
