now on bbc news, it's sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. there's nothing to separate them at anfield — as liverpool fail to find a breakthrough against a stubborn manchester united. liverpool aged to be level on plains at manchester united in the table after coming from behind. and he's in the mood for more — rangers and new boss phillipe clement win the scottish league cup at hampden. also coming up on sportsday... and the comeback kings in the champions cup — exeter leave it late, but do it again with victory over munster.

hello there, and welcome along to the programme — and it was very much billed as the game of the day. two huge rivals in the premier league, liverpool and manchester united going head to head at anfield, but the sides couldn't be seperated — as the united defence held firm and had chances against a liverpool side hoping to finish the weekend top of the pile. katie gornall reports. liverpool has built something at anfield, a new team and a revamped stand, but here theyjudge the foundations on how they hold up against manchester united. last time, liverpool crushed them 7—0. is that on the mind of some of time, liverpool crushed them 7—0. is that on the mind of some of united's players, well, they made a nervy start. liverpool created plenty of chances. taking them was another matter, as virgil van dyck discovered. under pressure coming into this, united where a happier team at half—time, one goal would change the mood, although, liverpool

were found wanting. united were almost written off before this game, but rasmus weyland nearly rewrote the script. while liverpool kept working hard, kept hitting and hoping. a win would send liverpool top, this is a team rarely shut out, and the frustration was evident. the visitors will go down to ten it wouldn't matter, liverpool stay second while united leave here with a valuable exceeding expectations. so in the end, no goals for either — but a fiery encounter which saw diogo dalot sent off towards the end. liverpool dominated possession — with the lion's share of chances on goal. but it's the united boss, erik ten hag, whose been under pressure of late — who'll leave the happier man. the main thing i don't like is the result, _ the main thing i don't like is the result, we — the main thing i don't like is the result, we should have won this game, — result, we should have won this game, but _ result, we should have won this game, but we didn't. that's the facts _ game, but we didn't. that's the facts we — game, but we didn't. that's the facts. we can create more finishes in a game — facts. we can create more finishes in a game against manchester united, but if you _ in a game against manchester united, but if you have that number, a feud more _ but if you have that number, a feud more should — but if you have that number, a feud more should be on target. a few more

chances _ more should be on target. a few more chances should be there. we had enough _ chances should be there. we had enough to— chances should be there. we had enough to score. massive chances. there _ enough to score. massive chances. there should have been more. i think that game plan was very good. the play is where brilliant. how they were together, they stick together, how they thought. maybe the only criticism would be with possession. we could've had more, but that is the only thing that we could've. .. but that is the only thing that we could've... we could've scored with two big opportunities. we could've win game. the draw for liverpool allowed arsenal to retake top spot in the premier league — after they convincingly beat brighton at the emirates 2 goals to nil. once the gunners got going, it was one—way traffic. kai havertz got his fourth goal in seven games, after striker gabrieljesus had opened the scoring for mikel arteta's side in the second half. it was a performance which very much pleased the manager. incredible performance. i think it

was a joy to watch from the start to the end. against this very, very good team and i think the players deserve a lot of credit, because they deserve it so much. even at half—time, the score reflected that. i think we fully expect to win the game. i'm disappointed with the result, i am sorry— i'm disappointed with the result, i am sorry for the performance because we are _ am sorry for the performance because we are used _ am sorry for the performance because we are used to playing with different positions, we are used to controlling — different positions, we are used to controlling more play, but to be honest. — controlling more play, but to be honest, they played much better than us with— honest, they played much better than us with more energy. aston villa went second for a while — after ollie watkins scored a late winner for them. villa came from 2—1 down to win a bad tempered game at brentford. there were two red cards, ten yellow cards and both managers were booked. in celebrating his winning goal, watkins, who used to play for brentford, focussed in on a home fan, who'd been abusing him.

afterwards — watkins said it was never intended to disrespect the rest of the supporters. he had been on to me all game, saying personal stuff, so, ithought if it happens once, it's fine, but two, three, four times, kept going on to me, i thought i'm going to get him back, so it was aimed at him, not anyone else in the stadium. i have a lot of respect for the club, the people here, the owner, everyone from the manager. sometimes the players react as well from some _ sometimes the players react as well from some of the criticisms they receive — from some of the criticisms they receive from their supporters. we are human — receive from their supporters. we are human. at the end of the day, we have to _ are human. at the end of the day, we have to focus — are human. at the end of the day, we have to focus to being on the team and try— have to focus to being on the team and try to — have to focus to being on the team and try to understand in a difficult moment, — and try to understand in a difficult moment, we can control our mind and be under— moment, we can control our mind and be under control, always. i think it's an interesting game between two teams that gave

everything. we put, in many ways, very good performance out there. the team was talking about well—deserved in many ways coming in the end, i didn't like it, that is not how the game is played. i think it is very important to show as much class as possible. it's difficult. i'm always irritated myself when it happens. west ham responded to their hammering by fulham last weekend in the premier league — by beating wolves comfortably 3 goals to nil. the hammers were off the mark, mohammed kudus, the ghana international with a superb strike from the edge of the box, followed by a close—range finish when through on goal less than 10 minutes later. west ham cruising at the break, with jarrod bowen completing what's been a good week for the hammers — after progressing this week in the europa league too.

what we've got to do is try and keep hanging in there, go a little bit unnoticed if that is possible in football, the premier league can take you if you don't sort of look after it. we found out a week or so ago, but the players are doing a brilliantjob. he got a quarterfinal to look forward to. at the moment, we are in a good position in the premier league. terrible goals to concede. gave west ham all_ terrible goals to concede. gave west ham all of— terrible goals to concede. gave west ham all of them, really, severely disappointed with those, and then the rest _ disappointed with those, and then the rest of— disappointed with those, and then the rest of the performance is irrelevent— the rest of the performance is irrelevant to people outside, whatever i say about it, the good spells. _ whatever i say about it, the good spells, yeah, no one wants to hear about— spells, yeah, no one wants to hear about that, — spells, yeah, no one wants to hear about that, really, when you have conceded — about that, really, when you have conceded three the way we do. it looks— conceded three the way we do. it looks like — conceded three the way we do. it looks like a — conceded three the way we do. it looks like a comfortable win for west _ looks like a comfortable win for west him — looks like a comfortable win for west him when, yeah, the score line isn't a _

west him when, yeah, the score line isn't a true _ west him when, yeah, the score line isn't a true reflection of the way the game — isn't a true reflection of the way the game went. west brom are up to fifth in the championship, despite being held to a 1—1 draw to home by stoke. stoke — who are still looking for a new manager after sacking alex neil — took the lead through lyndon gooch's cross, or was it shot, either way they all count. but later in the first half, west brom's brandon thomas—asante then volleyed through a crowd, as they gained another point in their push for promotion. rangers have won their first silverware of the season, beating aberdeen to lift the scottish league cup at hampden. it was new manager philippe clemont�*s first trophy, after just two months at the glasgow club. joe lynskey was watching. a club back on the rise with a cup one in time for christmas. rangers have been stirred by a change of coachin have been stirred by a change of coach in october. they haven't lost a match since. this was not a final that flowed back and forth, but aberdeen did come close. they'd not

won this competition since 2014, the rangers, the record winners have had to wait even longer. their last of 27 league cups came years ago, and yet, the last step seemed hard to take, but on 75 minutes, the ball fell to their captain. james tavernier has a right back but has now scored more than 100 goals for rangers. he knew the league cup as his team's last piece, the one domestic trophy they hadn't won since their climb back to the top flight. philip has been herejust two months, a win in this final is the best way to start a job. joe linsky, bbc news. manchester united lost ground in the wsl title race as rivals liverpool came away with a superb 2—1victory. manchester united took the lead within three minutes, as ella toone pounced on leah galton's pass to score. an own goal by united defender millie turner got liverpool back on level terms and taylor hinds

bundled in the winner with the inside of her knee, from missy bo kearns' delivery. it is the first time matt beard's side have beaten united in the wsl and fifth—placed liverpool move level on points with them. it feels amazing. i think this type of game is another derby for us. we went in there, guns blazing. as he can see how happy we are, how happy ourfans are. that can see how happy we are, how happy our fans are. that means everything to us. new season, new team, you can see that we've added so much to this team as well that is behind it, that is why today feels like that as well. and in the rest of the day's games, champions chelsea maintain top at bristol city and laurenjames with sam kerr and the goals.

manchester city are up to second and beating everton 4—1. now to the scottish women's premier league, where glasgow city thrashed partick thistle six—nil. the floodgates opened after this goal from aleigh gambone, glasgow would double the scoreline only a minute later and defensive errors from the visitors only made matters worse for thistle. glasgow stay third in the swpl table whilst thistle drop down to sixth. and celtic fought their way back to a draw against hearts. an early goal from georgia timms broke the deadlock, though celtic were able to equalise in the second half. the draw keeps hearts in fifth, whilst celtic trail three points behind league leaders, rangers. let's take a look at some other results in the swpl. rangers stay top courtesy of their 4—0 win over hamilton, substitute mia mcauley with two of their goals. spartans drew with montrose. and dundee united were beaten at home by motherwell.

an update to bring you on the luton town captain tom lockyer now. the wales defender collapsed in their game at bournemouth on saturday — suffering a cardiac arrest. the club confirmed he was responsive when taken off the field. and today said on social media, that he "remains in hospital". and that they "understand that supporters are concerned for him — and that there is widespread media interest in his condition". they added that lockyer is still undergoing tests and scans, and is awaiting the results before the next steps for his recovery are determined. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. the champions manchester city are putting the league behind them for now though. they've landed injeddah after their 2—2 draw with crystal palace on saturday, to participate in the fifa club world cup for the first time. they face urawa red diamonds from japan in the semi—finals on tuesday. thomas pidcock won the men's uci cyclo—cross world cup in namur. he came from behind to comfortably beat pim ronhaar and joris nieuwenhuis to the line.

great britain's menna fitzpatrick, guided by katie guest, won downhill gold on day two of the para—alpine world cup in st moritz, switzerland. the pair also secured silver at the same venue in saturday's season opener. another superb comeback to tell you about by exeter in rugby union's champions cup. they won with the last kick of the game against toulon last week — and came back to beat munster today. the chiefs trailed 24—13 with half an hour to play but ran in three tries, including this breakway from henry slade to earn the bonus point victory over last season's united rugby championship winners, exeter winning 32 points to 24. leicester tigers crept past stade francais 27—24. hooker archie vanes scored a hattrick for the tigers, who were maybe fortunate that lester etien could not grab that

chance to win it in the final minute the might of the 5—time winners toulouse proved too much for harlequins. 47—19 it finished at the stoop. the french side join bath at the top of pool 2 with maximum points from two games. it's quins first defeat australia crushed pakistan by 360 runs to take the first test in perth and a 1—0 lead in the three—match series. the hosts declared midway through the second session on day four to set pakistan a daunting target of 450 and the visitors crumbled in the chase, nathan lyon becoming the eight bowler to pick up his 500th test wicket, given out on review as pakistan were bowled out for just 89. the second test between the sides begins on boxing day in melbourne. injohannesburg, india thrashed south africa by eight wickets in the first odi — the hosts were bowled out forjust 117, their lowest total at home, arshdeep singh doing most of the damage with five wickets before the visitors cruised to victory in just over 16 overs

to take a 1—0 series lead. britain's ben maher on enjeu de grisien won thejumping world cup qualifier on the penultimate day of the london international horse show at olympia. it was a second success for individual olympic gold medallist maher, having already won the ivy states with ginger—blue on friday. britain's' scott brash on hellojefferson was second, with ireland's daniel coyle partnering legacy into third place. expand a little bit drier here for the last few years. the end of the year, a difficult year with a shoulder injury and things like that, so it isjust nice shoulder injury and things like that, so it is just nice that everything has come together. all the horses have been good, which, again, as i said, is easier than one horse, to be good on all of them and they all hit form at the right time says a lot about everybody around

me. now they may have scraped into the top half of the premier league but after spending 700 million pounds, signing 21 new players and having three different managers in 2023, plenty of people are still asking what's wrong with chelsea? and that's exactly what the football news show did prior to yesterday's win over sheffield united. the full programme is on the bbc iplayer. so that's it from sportsday, and you can have a look at the football news show now. fill and beat chelsea for the first time in 17 years. but for graham, things go from bad to worse. the 13th managerial change in the premier leak that season after being

stacked by chelsea. ah, premier leak that season after being stacked by chelsea.— stacked by chelsea. a magnificent win for wolves. _ stacked by chelsea. a magnificent win for wolves. frank _ stacked by chelsea. a magnificent win for wolves. frank lampard's i win for wolves. frank lampard's return doesn't go to plan. chelsea's new head coach _ return doesn't go to plan. chelsea's new head coach signing _ return doesn't go to plan. chelsea's new head coach signing a _ return doesn't go to plan. chelsea's new head coach signing a two-year| new head coach signing a two—year deal. anorexia tasting defeat for the first time as chelsea manager west ham three, chelsea— one. palmer scoring the best in the match, but it hasn't gained chelsea any points. they can't get any momentum going. chelsea's street gets worse. just what is happening to chelsea right now? we recorded this on tuesday the chelsea 12th in the premier league, back to back defeats. they've splashed the cash, but are they investing for the future at the expense of the right here right now? didn't have too many players? that they actually miss out on europe again? to put this into context, steve wilson describes it, they picked up 39 points in 39 games in

the premier league in 2023, that is on par with a host of clubs in the bottom half of the table. one point per game as worse than ever ten, it is worse than crystal palace, it is worse than nottingham forest. we will talk pop and dosh and a that, but first to the ones who are kicking around the pitch, who better to dissect the issues and if you can succinctly, what is going on. trr;r to dissect the issues and if you can succinctly, what is going on.- succinctly, what is going on. try to talk about investment _ succinctly, what is going on. try to talk about investment and - succinctly, what is going on. try to talk about investment and the - succinctly, what is going on. try to | talk about investment and the huge sums of money being put into players that cost a lot but are not ready yet, and i didn't expect them to be ready yet, in this calendar year, the teams that have been consistently in the primary, the bottom, theirfull consistently in the primary, the bottom, their full bottom, consistently in the primary, the bottom, theirfull bottom, the depths of that, you spend a billion quid, that doesn't sound good as well. that's what they are going to call them, clearly and chelsea that is the idea. i'm sure it is they

knew it would be difficult at the start, but they are betting on, gambling on any of these players coming through and suddenly becoming extra special. there was a sign on the capital website that says they are an investment firm providing patient long—term capital to dynamic businesses, notice that patient long—term, so that's the kind of modus operandi of the whole organisation, but it is different. when chelsea don't get into the champions league this season, that's two in a row. that's a huge loss of money, and then you wonder does this investment actually work in the medium—term? you know, there may well be that enough players that i keep on saying may well be, but football is a different business, you bring in the capital ideas and the investment ideas from other industries and you think the people don't know what they are talking

about, football is a very, very strange business, doesn't work the same way stop actively look at the people they are playing on the pitch right now, does this chelsea team have an identity is the modern thing in football, you need to plain pep style, but does this chelsea team know what it wants to do right now? no, it does look like a football team that does not necessarily being put together by football, it looks as though it's been put together by an algorithm. football is not that complicated with systems and styles, what is the complicated bit is mashing individuals together and understanding what works well together. understanding what works well to . ether. , , ~ understanding what works well touether. , , ,, ., together. this might seem like a silly question — together. this might seem like a silly question but _ together. this might seem like a silly question but do _ together. this might seem like a silly question but do chelsea - together. this might seem like a| silly question but do chelsea have money problems? not the kind where they are scratching around for loose change down the back of the sofa, but spending so much so quickly creating issues in itself? granted

fans of the other 19 clubs might not be digging out the violence, but having spentjust be digging out the violence, but having spent just shy be digging out the violence, but having spentjust shy of £700 million in the last 12 months after their defeat at ever ten, the manager says they might still need to go into the transfer market in a couple of weeks. taste to go into the transfer market in a couple of weeks.— to go into the transfer market in a couple of weeks. we need to see and realise the reality, _ couple of weeks. we need to see and realise the reality, that _ couple of weeks. we need to see and realise the reality, that is _ couple of weeks. we need to see and realise the reality, that is our - realise the reality, that is our reality. yes, of course, try to improve you know committees ideas to improve you know committees ideas to improve in the next market, that is possible. it improve in the next market, that is ossible. , . . , improve in the next market, that is ossible. ,. ., , , improve in the next market, that is ossible. ,. ., , ., possible. it is clearly possible to imrove, possible. it is clearly possible to improve. but — possible. it is clearly possible to improve, but as _ possible. it is clearly possible to improve, but as buying - possible. it is clearly possible to improve, but as buying more - possible. it is clearly possible to - improve, but as buying more players the answer? how can it be bad expensively that assembled hands remunerated squad might still not to be good enough? and who is to blame? or gasjoins us, be good enough? and who is to blame? or gas joins us, expectation versus reality, then, what is the expectation, what is the realityactually this chelsea team is

good enough to be a top 16, shortly stop yeah, i kind of agree, it is unfathomable, really that chelsea could be at 12 position. it's the same position they finished last season and they have not progressed and it feels like this is a season and they have not progressed and it feels like this is— and it feels like this is a never endin: and it feels like this is a never ending story _ and it feels like this is a never ending story of— and it feels like this is a never ending story of chelsea's - ending story of chelsea's mediocrity, really.- ending story of chelsea's mediocrity, really. that they are auoin to mediocrity, really. that they are going to bring — mediocrity, really. that they are going to bring in _ mediocrity, really. that they are going to bring in reinforcements| mediocrity, really. that they are l going to bring in reinforcements in january, what do they need? and two, can chelsea fans trust that they will actually get it right?- can chelsea fans trust that they will actually get it right? yeah, i don't know _ will actually get it right? yeah, i don't know if— will actually get it right? yeah, i don't know if they _ will actually get it right? yeah, i don't know if they can. - will actually get it right? yeah, i don't know if they can. it - will actually get it right? yeah, i don't know if they can. it is - will actually get it right? yeah, i | don't know if they can. it is crazy to me _ don't know if they can. it is crazy to me that— don't know if they can. it is crazy to me that the problem caused, in my mind especially, his bad transfers, so the _ mind especially, his bad transfers, so the problem of chelsea's results is caused _ so the problem of chelsea's results is caused by transfers and failing transfers. — is caused by transfers and failing transfers, overspending, too many transfers. — transfers, overspending, too many transfers, can attend any player sales. _ transfers, can attend any player sales. it — transfers, can attend any player sales, it could be a chaoticjanuary again. _ sales, it could be a chaoticjanuary again. yeah. — sales, it could be a chaoticjanuary again, yeah, this isjust what we have _ again, yeah, this isjust what we have become used to it and chelsea can happen — have become used to it and chelsea can happen we?— can happen we? regardless of what money spent. _ can happen we? regardless of what money spent. it _ can happen we? regardless of what money spent, it is _ can happen we? regardless of what money spent, it is down _ can happen we? regardless of what money spent, it is down to - can happen we? regardless of what money spent, it is down to this - can happen we? regardless of what| money spent, it is down to this man to try and get a tune out of the

squad. it's been a bit disjointed as of late, but it doesn't appear to be too much resentment towards the manager, not yet at least. his 142% in all competitions, but his league record puts him on par with graham potter. at what questions does he have to answer? chelsea fans jan and nina join me now. discuss. it’s nina join me now. discuss. it's alread ninajoin me now. discuss. it�*s already begun, and i can't believe that it already has considering we are four months into this process, yeah, it's like there's no peace as a chelsea fan, is there? you know it, we a chelsea fan, is there? you know it. we have _ a chelsea fan, is there? you know it, we have been _ a chelsea fan, is there? you know it, we have been here _ a chelsea fan, is there? you know it, we have been here before. - a chelsea fan, is there? you know it, we have been here before. he| it, we have been here before. he can't _ it, we have been here before. he can't really — it, we have been here before. he can't really tell me that part of you is— can't really tell me that part of you is never really expecting this. chelsea _ you is never really expecting this. chelsea football club, we are just crisis _ chelsea football club, we are just crisis after — chelsea football club, we are just crisis after crisis after crisis, and — crisis after crisis after crisis, and my— crisis after crisis after crisis, and my thing, actually like him i think— and my thing, actually like him i think he — and my thing, actually like him i think he is— and my thing, actually like him i think he is a nice guy i thank you can get— think he is a nice guy i thank you can get there eventually with the

northern ireland and into northwest england as we head into this evening, particularly that mild air still streaming in on a very brisk south—westerly winds. still windy conditions across northeast england, south east scotland and towards irish sea coast. and that rain is just kept on feeding in on that brisk south—westerly wind, slowly sinking southwards and will continue to do so as we head through the rest of this evening and overnight. so it will turn a lot drier for much of scotland, some clear spells, too, emerging towards the north. and here it will feel colder. some rain across the hills of wales as we head into tomorrow morning. and it's a frost—free start to the day on monday, turning a little colder towards the north of scotland. some of our temperatures still in double figures. so as we start off monday morning, still some weather fronts towards the south across parts of wales and stretching across the midlands into east anglia. also a bit of rain towards the far south west of england. it's a dry start to the day across scotland, but there will be another weather front approach in the northwest of scotland by the end of the afternoon. some sunshine across northern ireland, eastern scotland, and it's still mild for most, some colder airjust digging in behind that weather front towards the far north. and this is the

situation on tuesday. we look out towards the west where there'll be some rain pushing eastwards. so a very soggy start to the day on tuesday across much of the south of england and wales. we start to drawing more of a northwesterly wind across scotland. so here there could be some wintry showers just pushing southwards and eastwards. for much of northern england, though, some sunshine. further south, that rain will eventually clear as we head through the afternoon. the air is still mild towards the south and the east, but of course it has turned colder further north, highs of seven or eight degrees celsius and there'll be plenty of added wind chill around as well. as we head through wednesday, though, that cold air is displaced further eastwards and we start to bring in those mild conditions again from the west. so everything that falls out of the sky on wednesday should be falling as rain. here's the temperature outlook for our capital cities as we head

through the week and we approach the christmas period, watch out for some colder weather as we head into christmas day, perhaps. bye bye.
