also coming up on sportsday — 5,000 kilometres across the saudi desert. we speak to former dakar rally champion sam sunderland ahead of one of the most gruelling events on earth. and events on earth. we go behind the scenes before sports and we go behind the scenes before sports personality of the year. hello there and welcome along to the programme. this time last year, there were high hopes for the four english sides in the draw for the champions league knock—outs. today, just arsenal and manchester city represent the premier league in the last 16. city of course are the defending champions and will take on fc copenhagen in the next round in february. they're currently injeddah at the club world cup as the european champions.

they said copenhagen has improved since last time. of course remember the two games we played against them. it went well at least at etihad. but it's not worth the talk too much about what happened two years ago. they've been better than at manchester united and galatasaray, with much more experience than them. we have to be careful. mikel arteta's arsenal have been drawn against porto in the round of 16. the gunners are currently top of the premier league, but are playing in their first champions league since 2017. in each of their previous seven campaigns in the competition when they've qualified, they've gone out at this stage, so can they go any further this year against their portuguese opponents? it's not the most exciting draw, but it's definitely not a disappointing draw _ it's definitely not a disappointing draw. porto aren't a team to be

overlooked. you just look at that stat and — overlooked. you just look at that stat and both teams have scored a lot of— stat and both teams have scored a lot of goals in the group stage. i think_ lot of goals in the group stage. i think that — lot of goals in the group stage. i think that already sums it up to be a very— think that already sums it up to be a very tasty— think that already sums it up to be a very tasty round of 16. going into it now. _ a very tasty round of 16. going into it now, arsenal have to be very, very— it now, arsenal have to be very, very organised if they're going to overcome — very organised if they're going to overcome porto. they've never won away— overcome porto. they've never won away from _ overcome porto. they've never won away from home against porto, but they've _ away from home against porto, but they've won — away from home against porto, but they've won all the home games in they've won all the home games in the champions league. i couldn't say at the _ the champions league. i couldn't say at the minute, but i think with the form _ at the minute, but i think with the form we _ at the minute, but i think with the form we are — at the minute, but i think with the form we are in, how will we have done in _ form we are in, how will we have done in the — form we are in, how will we have done in the champions league, despite — done in the champions league, despite a — done in the champions league, despite a couple of results, i think it's a _ despite a couple of results, i think it's a perfect draw for the stage as a team _ here are those fixtures in full, then. jude bellingham will be hoping he can lead real madrid to their 15th title in this competition, starting against rb leipzig, while three—time winners inter play atletico madrid, who are the only side to have reached three champions league finals and not won the trophy. napoli face barcelona, psg will play real sociedad. borussia dortmund have been drawn against psv eindhoven and six—time winners bayern munich play lazio.

well, delighted now to bejoined by senior football reporter ian dennis to talk about that draw in more detail. interesting games ahead there. good to see you. let's start with what's set to be a good draw for a lot of teams. is that down to the fact that it's potentially a week or last 16? i fact that it's potentially a week or last 16? ., �* ~ ., �*, last 16? i don't know if it's weaker. — last16? i don't know if it's weaker. i _ last 16? i don't know if it's weaker, i think _ last 16? i don't know if it's weaker, i think the - last 16? i don't know if it's i weaker, i think the difference last 16? i don't know if it's - weaker, i think the difference is the absence is the four clubs from the absence is the four clubs from the premier league. this is the first time in 11 years that there's only been two and the sides and last 16. if you compare the last 16 to the same stage last season, you have the same stage last season, you have the english quartet, but you still have eight sides that still feature in this year because my competition. i think if you take this exception from group a and milan at newcastle,

everybody else who you'd have expected to go out through has progressed —— this year's competition. i5 progressed -- this year's competition.— progressed -- this year's competition. progressed -- this year's cometition. , ., , competition. is the reason why the format is changing _ competition. is the reason why the format is changing potentially - competition. is the reason why the format is changing potentially to i format is changing potentially to include more bigger names? i think more games. _ include more bigger names? i think more games, more _ include more bigger names? i think more games, more teams - include more bigger names? i think more games, more teams means l include more bigger names? i think- more games, more teams means more money. i think it's obviously a crucial factor. money. i think it's obviously a crucialfactor. it is money. i think it's obviously a crucial factor. it is going to be a completely different former hole together. the swiss system is going together. the swiss system is going to be one large table rather than the groups that we're seeing so far in this year's competition. basically, you're going to have eight games against different opponents. that one of the league of 36 teams i guess will lead to more high—profile games. it will mean that the coffers are boosted, but also with extra concern for players'

welfare. they're going to have to squeeze in two extra games in january. squeeze in two extra games in janua . ,, squeeze in two extra games in janua . . ~ ., january. squeezed indeed. who wouldn't be _ january. squeezed indeed. who wouldn't be happy _ january. squeezed indeed. who wouldn't be happy with - january. squeezed indeed. who wouldn't be happy with their . january. squeezed indeed. who l wouldn't be happy with their draw this time around? some teams that would fancy their chances of getting through. naturally, barcelona, two competitive teams there? the three sides to avoid. _ competitive teams there? the three sides to avoid, you _ competitive teams there? the three sides to avoid, you would've - sides to avoid, you would've had psg, inter milan and e. —— napoli. the fact that real madrid had drawn a leipzig will be very happy for that. . ~ a leipzig will be very happy for that. ., ,, , ., a leipzig will be very happy for that. . ~' , ., , a leipzig will be very happy for that. ., ,, i. , . so, as mentioned earlier, manchester city in club world cup action in saudi arabia tomorrow. the tournament continues today

saturday. he still awaits the results of his test in hospital. so many fans have been really describing their emotions today. mike fanning was one of them. inside the stadium, my goodness me, what was it like on saturday? it the stadium, my goodness me, what was it like on saturday?— was it like on saturday? it was a very distressing _ was it like on saturday? it was a very distressing experience. - was it like on saturday? it was a l very distressing experience. there were over 1,000 fans inside the stadium. very small similar to ours. it was the most awful, traumatic experience to go through. you never want to see that on the football plate. the bournemouth fans and soon realised and there was this eerie silence that just descended realised and there was this eerie silence thatjust descended very quickly within a few seconds. it went from a noisy atmosphere to virtually silence, and as the club doctor ran on immediately, rob edwards running on and ushered everybody away. you can see the anguish on their face.

everybody away. you can see the anguish on theirface. we knew it was a very serious situation. we knew it was very, very serious. the silence seemed to become cheers of oh, tommy, tommy. it was this 0h, tommy, tommy. it was this outpouring of humanity. everyone standing and praying that tom get through it. it’s standing and praying that tom get throu~h it. �*, _, ., standing and praying that tom get throu~hit. �*, ., ., through it. it's continued on social media. through it. it's continued on social media- have _ through it. it's continued on social media. have you _ through it. it's continued on social media. have you been _ through it. it's continued on social media. have you been surprised l through it. it's continued on social| media. have you been surprised by the love and support? i media. have you been surprised by the love and support?— the love and support? i don't think i have. the love and support? i don't think i have- with _ the love and support? i don't think i have. with things _ the love and support? i don't think i have. with things like _ the love and support? i don't think i have. with things like this - the love and support? i don't think| i have. with things like this happen which is very rare, fans come together as one. we all bleed red at the end of the day. the outpouring of humanity has been incredible. it was general members of the public that were saying us to the best tom, good luck to the rest of the season. they realise what we have been through. nobody wants to see that on

playing throuthack grealish for a possible scoring opportunity. police say they'll speak to aston villa and brentford about events surrounding the celebrations of 0llie watkins, after the villa forward's winner against his former club yesterday. watkins said a fan verbally abused him throughout the game. and sunderland have announced michael beale as the club's new head coach. the former rangers and qpr manager takes over from tony mowbray, and will be at the helm for sunderland's home game with coventry this weekend. there's plenty of football action over the next few days, including the league cup quarter—finals this week. last season's beaten finalists, newcastle united, are at chelsea tomorrow night. eddie howe's side had a morale—boosting win over the weekend — 3—0 against fulham after three defeats in a row. they did pick up a couple more injuries tojoelinton and fabien schar, and though they are doubts for the game, sven botman should be available after coming off the bench on saturday — his first

appearance in three months the two drawers we had previously to this one was probably is difficult as we could get. but i think the beauty of the two games we've had is we've proved that we can raise our game against the top teams in a cup competition. he's been away forjust he's been away for just a he's been away forjust a few months, but harry kane has listed no time in placing a no trail —— blazing a new trail in the bundesliga. michael redford reports. is harry kane at the double! make that 20 for kane and the bundesliga now. ~ ., ., . ., ., , ., now. another match for harry kane, another record _ now. another match for harry kane, another record breaker. _ now. another match for harry kane, another record breaker. 20 - now. another match for harry kane, another record breaker. 20 goals i now. another match for harry kane, another record breaker. 20 goals in | another record breaker. 20 goals in germany's top division in just 1a

whose running backjames cook scored two touchdowns. the cowboys and their division rivals the philadelphia eagles are both through, but will now be aiming to finish top of their division, the nfc east. it's one of the most intense and grueling events before any sports person. dakar rally is that over five 221 km across two weeks. sam sunderland is the first and only man to win the race —— over 5,000 kilometres. i guess the passion for it stems back to when you're first heading off on your bmx and you don't have your mum or dad to drop you off anywhere and you can kind of free range. i like the competition and there's plenty of that about. the mix of the two kind of creates a

next we year. that is it for me here. thanks for watching. good evening. monday was a pretty cloudy day for many, with some splashes of rain, but northern areas of the uk did get to see a little bit of brightness. that was the scene for a weather watcher in the highlands earlier on. now, as we look through the rest of this week, we will see further rain at times and it will become very windy. there is the chance that some of us will see a little bit of snow in the run—up to the christmas period. now, this is the earliest satellite picture. now, this is the earlier satellite picture. you can see this pipeline of cloud streaming in from the atlantic. this is our next weathersystem, really. that will bring some quite heavy rain across parts of wales and england as we head through this evening and tonight. turning really wet, particularly through the second half of the night.

northern england staying a little bit drier, and certainly for northern ireland and scotland, we'll see some clearer skies, a few showers blowing into the northwest of scotland, some of those wintry over higher ground. cold enough here for frost and some ice, mild further south where we start tuesday with clouds and outbreaks of heavy rain. that rain will trundle its way south eastwards through the day, so brighter skies will follow. a scattering of showers blowing in, particularly across the western side of scotland and into northern ireland. some of those showers wintry over high ground in scotland. it will be windy here. temperatures a little bit lower than they have been today — 5 degrees in lerwick and 10 degrees in london by the middle part of the afternoon. but into wednesday, we see another frontal system pushing pushing in from the atlantic. this one is a warm front, and so it will reintroduce some milder conditions. but with extensive cloud cover, it will be quite misty and murky in places, i suspect. bits and pieces of rain, it will be windy, but temperatures in many spots back up into double digits. and then we look ahead to thursday with a deep area of low pressure

passing to the north of the uk. lots of isobars on this chart. it is going to be a very windy day indeed. real see—saw conditions this week in terms of the feel of the weather. in the cold air, i think we'll see some snow showers across parts of scotland, even to relatively low levels in the north, where gales will combine with those snow showers to give blizzard conditions. further south, it stays mild, and so what falls from the sky will be rain, but it is going to be a windy day wherever you are. and then, looking towards christmas itself, stays pretty unsettled. there will be rain at times and it may be cold enough, particularly in the north of the uk, for some snow here and there. bye— bye.
