and colby covington face—off in vegas welcome along, thank you forjoining us. tonight we start at bournmouth, where luton town captain tom lockyer collapsed midway through the second half of their premier league game after suffering a cardiac arrest. both sets of players were taken off the pitch whilst lockyer received medical treatment, the game later abandoned with the score 1—1. lockyear is now in a stable condition in hospital. lockyear collapsed during the play—off final back in may, he had heart surgery for an irregular hearbeat and was given the all—clear. our reporterjohn acres was watching at the vitality stadium this afternoon: all of our thoughts

are with tom lockyer and his family and friends, this game was abandoned just after the second half, when tom lockyer collapsed onto his knees and then is front and appeared unresponsive, bournemouth midfielder came over to check he was ok. the medical team sprinted onto the pitch including his manager rob edwards who looked really worried. he was treated for about 15 minutes and then got onto his back and onto a stretcher and then down the tunnel and off the hospital. we understand he is receiving treatment right now in hospital, the game was abandoned for obvious reasons with the score at 1—1. the players came out and did a lap on the pitch, supporters were stunned into silence for about 15 minutes and then applauded warmly as aleuts and players and then the bournemouth players did a lap around the ground. robert edwards was in a flood of tears as he walked around.

it's been a horrible afternoon and all we can do is sit and wait and hope and pray that tom lockyer is ok. luton town have released a statement this evening: saying: "our medical staff have confirmed that the hatters captain suffered cardiac arrest on the pitch, but was responsive by the time he was taken off on the stretcher. "he received further treatment inside the stadium, for which we once again thank the medical teams from both sides. "tom was transferred to hospital, where we can reassure supporters that he is stable and currently undergoing further tests with his family at his bedside. "we would like to thank everyone for their support, concern and loving messages for locks. more messages for locks. reaction to that over on the bbc more reaction to that over on the bbc sport website. manchester city stopped their winless run last weekend with victory at luton — but the champions have slipped up again after throwing away a 2—0 lead

at home to crystal palace. the home side looked in total control, with jack grealish giving them the lead midway through the first half. rico lewis then made it two just after the break. butjean phillipe mateta got one back for the visitors before a stoppage—time penalty was converted by michael olise to give palace just a second point in six league games. city meanwhile missed the chance to put pressure on league leaders liverpool, they sit fourth, three points off the top. pep guardiola not happy talking to the bbc�*s mark scott. we had a good performance with the crystal palace defending so deep like they always do, and we controlled transitions well, not a lots of set pieces, but we after the second one, it cannot happen.

when we take bad decisions in the 18 yard box, they were punished. you have so much defensive quality, is it surprising that clean sheets are hard to keep for you? yes, definitely, how many occurrences chancese we create? is it a concern that you are not taken the chances you create? we play to create chances and not concede, we have to win games. we played well against spurs and liverpool and today but we have to win, that's a reality. you seem a bit animated today, is it because things weren't going how you wanted with the players? everything was done really good.

you had some complaints seemingly at the end of the game, was it something about the penalty? it was a penalty, absolutely. ijust wanted to ask, that's all. roy hodgson was understandably happier with how the game ended. when you play manchester city in the form they are in with - the quality of players they have you have to accept that - patience will be the key, - they would have more of the ball then you and if you start. to take chances and it take them to early they will cut through, as it happens we got _ the 2—1, which gave us some hope, i suppose, then we decided to take a few chances and have a go and luckily it paid off. - everton beat burnley 2—0 in the late game — sean dyche was back on his old patch and made it four wins in a row

in the premier league. a headerfrom amadou onana and then this tap in from michael keane made it a comfortable victory for the toffees — seemingly buoyed by their ten—point deduction. as a result of the win, theyjump to 16th, now seven points clear of the drop zone. after three games without a win, including their champions league exit on wednesday, newcastle beat fulham to move within five points of manchester city in fourth. the visitors had rauljiminez sent off in the first half and newcastle eventually made their man advantage count, 17—year—old lewis miley with his first goal for the club before miguel almiron and dan burn sealed the win. up next for them is chelsea in their league cup quarter final on wednesday. fulham move into the bottom half of the table. here are eddie howe�*s thoughts on lewis miley. he's come into the team and been magnificent and deserve to keep his place.

we wanted to rest him today for someone so young, to make sure we didn't go into dangerous areas with his work load. he assisted a few goals with the couple good decisions around in the box and got his roar today with the goal. his performances were high. marco silva however was not happy with the red card decision. here's what he had to say about the referee. the goal doesn't count, this is premier league, premier league referees with ability to handle pressure. this afternoon is the best example of a referee that doesn't have the ability to handle the pressure. that is clear for me. after back to back defeats for mauricio pochetino, chelsea are winning again — beating the bottom side sheffield united 2—0 at stamford bridge. they were made to work hard for it — cole palmer with the opening goal

after 5a minutes and shortly afterwards nicolas jackson doubled the lead. chelsea are tenth, sheffield united stay bottom six points from safety. we were a bit frustrated in the first half but then i think we controlled these feelings and i think we were better in the second half. i was confident even when we were losing because i believe in the team and the players and the club. it's hurt, because we thought we got the first have a spot on, and the naivety, in a way, it's mixed emotions for me because we are in a good place, the crowd was murmuring a bit, you could feel that, we were in the game but quickly go from being in the game to being out of the game, and lessons learned for a relatively naive and young, inexperienced group.

by a woman's record margin. when lauren bell was less ago england were all out for 131, the wait goes on for our boost in this format. they're not won test match in ten years, but few defeats have been like this. joe lynskey, bbc news. so disappointment for england who were outplayed across the three days in all departments. for their young team though — all playing their first test in india — some valuable lessons learned with the pitch and the conditions very different to anything they've faced before. captain heather knight still trying to stay positive: india played really well, and would take lots of this, there's lots of t20 cricket coming up among the work of coming up, with later that there in the 20s, i've expect the players to understand know what the conditions have been, but in terms of 220 that's our main cricket

confirms what i have been doing in the gym. the team you uses right and you're doing is right and everything you've done over the years got you to world champion, it confirms you off, by me going out and meeting colby covington, i want to stop him my view that was cement me. i have to go out there and such amount, keep doing my reading and keep doing good. i'm colby covington, i'm the people's champ, america's champ, the king of miami and donald trump's favourite fighter. as a person, i think he's low i0, i would love to know what his level of education is. i don't think he made it through grade school. get in my hand raised, i don't matter how i will do it, i will be the winner. official weight 169.5. official weight 170

united have lost half their games in all competitions with as many defeats as a whole of last season, so how will this play out? let's get the thoughts of michael brown and former united striker danny weber and charlie adam. the scar of the 7—0 less season will be in the back of manchester united player minds, i think liverpool they have gone quietly quite well during the season not least during the last few weeks, people asking if they were going to win the title, and that great run they have been on, but i look at the form going right out the window when these games come because they are normally fast flowing games, lots of tackles and at the end real close he's unsure because of the quality of the players. liverpool will be confident going into the game, manchester united getting knocked out of the champions league would be a huge blow for them they have

to react and for them there be no place —— better place than going to and feeling it's in a result. i feel manchester united is a wounded animal i don't want went and how they react is what will make people and finds nervous because we don't know what reaction will come after a defeat. would it continue? charlie is right about the scars of the 7—0 less season, of the 7—0 last season, it hurt, definitely hurt, and i think it is something manchester united has a use as fuel were going to anfield, and as a bare minimum rolled up the sleeves and have to fight. when confidence is low in a squad, how do you change that? we saw when manchester united lost against newcastle, they got the response against chelsea, when they lost against bournemouth,

there is no response against bayern munich, so how do you get through that? is been what wearing for me, - recovery runs, work rate, energy, that's a basics like they have to find a platform to build i from there everyone has to give everything and is hard, - you have to get after your - team—mates, a bit of character and continuity in the team, - sometimes or try to find a different solution and your try to find that character that can - grant results out. that's the experts view but what about the fines? fair to say a contrast of emotions. fin about the fines? fair to say a contrast of emotions.- about the fines? fair to say a contrast of emotions. on the day there will be _ contrast of emotions. on the day there will be nervousness - contrast of emotions. on the day there will be nervousness but. contrast of emotions. on the day| there will be nervousness but i've never felt so excited for a darby against manchester united, i haven't, and i might not be as confident on the day because obviously managers united are in such a sticky patch right now, so i hope they feel like they need to come at liverpool and prove a point which means liverpool can exploit this spaces that are left. the? which means liverpool can exploit this spaces that are left. they need to rove a this spaces that are left. they need to prove a point _ this spaces that are left. they need to prove a point during _ this spaces that are left. they need to prove a point during the - this spaces that are left. they need to prove a point during the week, l to prove a point during the week, they couldn't and didn't. i’m to prove a point during the week, they couldn't and didn't.—

a very pretty end of the day here with red skies, with sunset. the mild air coming in on the south—westerly winds, and it's really quite brisk. it's blustery towards the north western facing coast. and that wind is driving in further rain overnight tonight across western scotland. the rainfall totals will really start to stack up. in fact, some spots, particularly for western slopes of the highlands, by the time we get to the end of the day on sunday, could see as much as 200 millimetres of rainfall. there's a met office amber weather warning in force across western scotland for heavy rain from argyll and bute stretching as far north as sutherland. there could possibly be some landslips, most likely across the south highlands and argyll. and the rain just continues overnight tonight, it sinks a little further southwards. it's still dry for eastern scotland. a few breaks in the cloud, too, for south east england. and here temperatures could dip back to eight degrees celsius. but these are the sorts of values that we'll be seeing by day at this time of year. so another very mild start to sunday morning. and the rain isjust going to be relentless as we head through sunday across western scotland.

again, just being driven in on this brisk south—westerly wind, it pushes further southwards into northern ireland and perhaps north west england as we go through to the end of the day. some breaks in the cloud to the lea of high ground east of the pennines and across north east wales, possibly to some breaks across southeast england. it's very mild still for the time of year, temperatures well above the seasonal average. but turning colder as that rain clears scotland through the day on monday. some more rain edging into western scotland, and we look towards the south on tuesday to find this weather frontjust moving further eastwards and it's likely to reinvigorate. so a lot of that rain pepping up a very wet day across england and wales through tuesday. and there could be some wintry showers further north across scotland, much of northern england staying largely dry. so here's the outlook as we head through the week, things are still likely to change. it will turn milder again through the middle part of the week and then colder again from the north as we head towards the end of the week. a lot of uncertainty as to how far south that colder air is likely to get.

so do keep an eye on the forecast. bye— bye.
