The US election is just a week away. Hanging in the balance is whether Donald Trump, the most unorthodox US president for generations, is handed a second term or Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee, fulfils his decades-long push for the Oval Office.

To unpack the real state of play, The Telegraph has brought together a panel of experts who will discuss the latest with the paper's US Editor Ben Riley-Smith. How solid is Mr Biden's poll lead? Is it too late for Mr Trump to win? What should we expect in the last week? And how will the choice impact the special relationship?

On the panel is...

Sir Peter Westmacott, the former UK ambassador to the US who held the post when Joe Biden was the US vice president. Their residences were next door to each other.

Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Centre for Politics. He is one of America's best-known political scientists and polling experts.

Will Marshall, the president of Progressive Policy Institute, a Left-leaning think tank. He has been in Democratic politics for decades and helped Bill Clinton set his agenda.

This event has now ended.
