we're building up to the cheltenham festival, which begins on tuesday. hello there, and welcome along to the programme. chelsea's roller—coaster of a season continued on monday at stamford bridge. they came into their premier league game with newcastle on the back of two defeats. but could a potential place in europe now be on the cards, after a 3—2 win, inspired by cole palmer. the 21—year—old has very much been the bright spot, in what's been an inconsistent campaign for mauricio pochettino�*s side. nicolas jackson got on the end of palmer's effort to put the blues one up. alexander isak equalised for newcastle, before palmer grabbed his 11th of the season. mikhailo murdryk had chelsea home and dry, before a late newcastle consolation made things interesting at the end, but not to be for them. chelsea still 11th, just a point behind their opponents.

last season, it was an honour to win a game here. we are winning games now. we are solid. we need to keep solid. that is a new thing but decided to be back, and of course, that is not any more. the chelsea years ago. but we are building something different. that was a game i thought was in the balance. i thought there was a lot between the two teams. it was quite an open game. but the game got away from us, with the goals we conceded, which were really poor from our perspective. they weren't necessarily coming. sometimes you can feel the goals coming against you away from home. i didn't feel we were. but they were self—induced mistake from us. manchester city goalkeeper ederson is set to miss up to four weeks, after suffering a muscle injury in the premier league draw with liverpool yesterday. ederson was hurt after kicking reds striker darwin nunez — conceding the penalty where liverpool scored their equaliser, in

the 1—1 draw at anfield. he had treatment at the time, but was later replaced by stefan ortega. city have told the brazilian fa he won't be fit for international duty later this month. it was a good weekend for arsenal. their win over brentford saw them go top of the premier league. and they stayed there, after — as we mentioned — liverpool and manchester city's draw at anfield, the gunners�* attention now turns to the champions league, where they have to beat porto on tuesday, to reach the quarter—finals. they trail 1—0 after the first leg in portugal. for 96 minutes, bring your energy, bring your noise and let's do it together. the impact they can make tomorrow, it's incredible, i don't think that they realize. we need that noise, we need them to play with us and we need that emotional control as well. to understand that game can go through certain phases that we have to be really intelligent to push in the right moments to get what we want. it's a beautiful opportunity to leave those nights

in m years. everything that we put in there is going to be worth it. premier league clubs have rejected a proposal for a £900 million funding settlement for the football league, following a shareholders meeting earlier. a new deal might be now be imposed on the premier league by the uk government. the efl declined to comment, and is expected to discuss the issue at a board meeting later this week. premier league sides also agreed to prioritise changes to the rules around profit and sustainability, which could see clubs allowed to spend approximately 85% of their turnover on costs like transfer fees and wages. one more football story for you and, in italy, lecce have sacked manager roberto d'aversa after he headbutted verona striker thomas henry, following a serie a match between the two sides on sunday. speaking after the game, the lecce boss admitted his actions were "inexcusable". his side lost by 1—0, and d'aversa was pictured walking across the pitch at full—time to confront henry. the club announced their decision early on monday.

the defeat means lecce drop to 15th in italy's top flight, two places below verona. world number two aryna sabalenka put her recent patchy from to one side, beating britain's emma raducanu in straight sets, to make the fourth round of indian wells. since winning the australian open, sabalenka has endured a mix start to the season. she lost in the opening round of dubai. the belarusian won 6—3, 7—5 against raducanu, the second set far from straightforward, but she progresses into the last 16. us open champion coco gauff says she's improving with every match she plays, following her victory over lucia bronzetti at the tournament. she won 6—2, 7—6, closing out the victory in a tie—breaker to make the fourth round, too. disappointment for cameron norrie, who took the first set against 37—year—old veteran gael monfils. but the frenchman made an inspired comeback to make the last 16 in the men's draw at indian wells.

norrie took the first set on a tie—break, and was 3—love up in the second before monfils turned the tide. he fought back, winning the second set also on a tie break, and took the decider 6—3 in a match lasting more than three hours. no problem eitherfor the seventh—seed holger rune. the dane beat italy's lorenzo musetti in straights sets to advance to the fourth round for the first time. rune was making his first appearance of the tournament, after his opening opponent milos raonic was forced to withdraw from the pair's second—round clash. the commonwealth games federation has said it's in advanced discussions over a potential new host. after malaysia claimed to have been offered £100 million to help the country put on the 2026 games. they last hosted the event in 1998. the australian state of victoria pulled out of hosting the games in two years�* time due to costs. from the commonwealth games to the olympics and american star sprinter noah lyles has hinted he'll be expanding his repertoire to allow him a shot at four golds on the track

at the paris games this year. only two men have claimed four athletics golds at a single olympics — jesse owens and carl lewis. but those included wins in the longjump, not on the track. lyles has his sights set on competing in the 4x400 metres relay. i'm serious. i mean, ijust ran the four by fourfor glasgow. that was definitely one of my ways of saying that this is not a joke. a lot of people thought i was doing it for headlines, but no. i'm full force going in. i'm available and i will be ready at all times. i can't tell you how many comments and people have come up to me saying, "i didn't care about the four by four until you!" oh, wow! that proves that a personality helps pitch it along. the sport is interesting in itself but people need stories to connect with. and i love telling stories

through my career. finally, the highlight of the jump—racing season. the cheltenham festival starts in england on tuesday, and lasts for four days. no british trainer has had more wins at the meeting than nicky henderson, and he has plenty of chances to return to the winners enclosure this week. our sport news correspondent laura scott has been to meet him. casting a watchful eye over his horses, a biting wind doesn't seem to bother nicky henderson. he has one thing on his mind, making sure the horses heading to the cheltenham festival get there in peak condition. leading the pack is shishkin, one of the favourites for the highlight of the week, friday's gold cup, the hundredth running of the race. i think everything's going according to plan. these last two runs have been, well, they've been very good. sadly, he sort of tripped over his own foot leg in the king george, which he looked to be was possibly going to go and win. that would have been a bit special. and then he won at newbury, but he's done very

little wrong. i think he's got a very good chance. it's an open sort of gold cup, i think. henderson was dealt a blow when the star of the stables, unbeaten hurdler, constitution hill, was ruled out of the olympics ofjump racing after coming down with what in human terms would be a winter cold. but henderson said he'd be back next year to win back his champion hurdle crown. that's as clear sign as any that henderson isn't eyeing retirement. we've got a lot of very good horses at the moment. hardly going to give up when they're like this. i mean, you couldn't. i mean, i enjoy it and there's nothing else i can do, so i've got to keep going. henderson had feared an eye condition would force him to stop training, but recent treatment has been transformative. it's improved rather than sort of get... you know, they always say it was going to get worse, but actually they've stabilised it, so we're fine. i mean, the worst thing is actually just can't

recognise people's faces. so, people probably think i'm just being rather rude, but i don't mean to be. i promise. the horses is no problem. i can recognise a horse, i can't recognise a person! it's a peculiar thing. it's one of the sort of traits of what i have. so, whilst he might be in for some awkward moments amid the cheltenham crowds, his ability to train winners isn't hindered, with 73 festival firsts already to his name, he knows better than most how to do that. laura scott, bbc news. looking forward to that to come this week. that's just about it from us but before we go, a reminder of our top story. chelsea got the better of newcastle united in the premier league. the blues won 3—2, inspired by cole palmer who was on the scoresheet again for them, as they hunt down a european place come the end of the season. you can get all the latest sports news at from

the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, thanks very much indeed for watching and we'll see you again next time. hello there. we've still got significant problems with a lot of ground water lying around across the southern half of the uk. there are numerous flood warnings out for that, and as well as some large waves around southern western coast. the warnings are all on the website, but we are in for more rain. it's already been moving in through the evening and overnight across the western part of the uk. this is for the rest of the week — you can see the rainfall totals amounting to perhaps 30—110 millimetres again, for many parts. this is the current arm of cloud that's moving in the next area of low pressure, which will

give some wet weather through the remainder of the night and into the start of our tuesday morning. perhaps a little bit of mist and fog in central and eastern areas, a bit chilly here, touch of frost in the north — but this is the main story, really quite wet through the rush hour across parts of northern ireland, initially across wales and southern and central england, moving towards the south—east, as well. so it could be quite nasty — hazardous driving conditions, lots of spray and standing water around. that main pulse of rain for many of us lasting 3—4 hours before starting to move out the way, but we will be left with a legacy of cloud following on behind. quite a bit of that even to the north of the front, across scotland, perhaps some brightness in the far north. still quite a keen southeasterly breeze here, but for most of us, it's a south—westerly, brisker wind — and it's milder, 13—14 celsius, because we're in a warm sector. and as we go through the night, we'll see this low pressure gathering forces and becoming closer to the north, bringing windier weather and wetter weather, as well, as it sinks southwards. so, by wednesday, we think sitting as a slow—moving band of rain, parts

of northern ireland, northern england, north wales, as well. showers following on behind — a bit chilly, wintry over the hills — but the main story is again, yet more rain, perhaps not arriving into the south and the east until later on. in fact, it mayjust lift northwards then as we go into thursday. still, as you can see, a lot of wet weather in the forecast for the coming week, but milder as we pick up that southerly or south—westerly wind. 15—16 if we see some breaks in the cloud as we head towards thursday. and that's, as i say, because of our wind direction coming in off the atlantic for much of last week, we had the chilly wind coming in off the north sea. so it really does make a difference, our wind direction — but coming in from the south and west over the atlantic, it does mean we'll see more rain. as i've said, the warnings are online.
