fixture after tom lockyer had collapsed on the pitch in december. before the match, he met the medical personnel who he says saved his life. luton were looking like they were climbing out of the relegation zone, but bournemouth�*s stunning comeback leaves them in the bottom three. we've got no other option but to pick ourselves up and go again. we're not out of this fight. we're at a situation with three points behind the tv above us, and ourjob is to try and win the game on saturday. the european football continues on thursday, as the last—16 second legs in the europa league take place. liverpool are one of the teams in action. jurgen klopp says the return of michael edwards to the club won't mean he changes his mind over leaving this summer. liverpool host sparta prague in the europa league on thursday, and klopp was asked during his pre—match press conference if he may change his mind.

the liverpool boss said edwards coming back was top news, and the pair have spoken since, but there was no attempt to persuade the german to stay on at anfield. can you imagine i change my mind? — can you imagine i change my mind? of_ can you imagine i change my mind? of course not. i cannot say what _ mind? of course not. i cannot say what i _ mind? of course not. i cannot say what i said. it would be like — say what i said. it would be like if — say what i said. it would be like if i _ say what i said. it would be like if i never signed for next yeah — like if i never signed for next year. whoever needs a coach, they— year. whoever needs a coach, they were _ year. whoever needs a coach, they were completely crazy. i don't — they were completely crazy. i don't say _ they were completely crazy. i don't say these things without thinking — don't say these things without thinking before. itrust don't say these things without thinking before. i trust the club — thinking before. i trust the club to— thinking before. i trust the club to do as good as somehow possible. — club to do as good as somehow possible, and i'm really sure we create _ possible, and i'm really sure we create a good basis with the right— we create a good basis with the right people in charge, and michael— right people in charge, and michael is a top choice. to tennis — and a round—up from indian wells in a moment. before that, the wta have come under pressure to introduce maternity pay for female players on the tour. the former world number one and four—time major winner naomi osaka backed up comments from victoria azarenka, saying the introduction of maternity pay would be "life—changing". our tennis correspondent russell fuller told us whether the wta will act.

i think ithink in i think in time, it's something i think in time, it's something i could definitely see happening. what the wta say is they are reviewing their maternity provision. players are pushing increasingly hard. when naomi osaka said it could be life—changing and victoria as a rank us that it could be a huge win for women in general, they except when they interrupted their careers to have a baby, they didn't need the money because they were both very wealthy and grand slam champions. but they point out there are many women are choosing to have children while they are professional tennis players. some in their mid—20s who do not have vast earnings behind them, it can be very difficult to start for a year, 18 months, two years, who knows — when no income. it's one of those things that is being looked at and another thing these players are pushing for is greater childcare facilities

on tour. you get a couple of wta tours it stood and madrid, but not elsewhere. it's actually quite hard to implement a universal childcare policy because they're different regulations in place in different country.- in different country. russell fuller there. _ on the court at indian wells — a shock to bring you in the women's draw. the world number two aryna sabalenka is out. she was beaten by the american emma navarro in the fourth round. the home crowd in california was fully behind navarro, who took the first set — but was pegged back in the second by sabalenka. navarro was clinical in the decider, winning that 6—2 to make her first wta 1,000 quarterfinal. in the men's singles, casper ruud battled back from a set down to beat gael monfils and secure a place in the last eight. ruud will face american tommy paul next, after he beat italian lucky loser luca nardi — conqueror of top seed novak djokovic. we've the finale of the men's six nations in rugby union this weekend —

on wednesday. the quarter—final draw is to come on friday, when arsenal and manchester city learn their fate. thanks very much indeed for watching. get more on the bbc sport website, bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc thanks very much indeed for watching. we'll see you again next time. hello there. the rain has been pouring down on wednesday in snowdonia, in wales — there was about a third of a month's worth of rain injust 12 hours. things are not looking quite so dramatic over the next few days. there will be some further wet weather, rain or showers, and for many parts of the country, it's going to be mild — particularly across england and wales, where we've seen the milder air coming from a long way south.

things are a little bit chillier to the north, in northern scotland. in between, we've got the weather front — that's been bringing the rain, but that's moving northwards, taking wet weather into scotland and northern ireland. there's the wet weather that we've got in northern ireland and southern scotland — that moves its way northwards. for england and wales, there may be a bit more sunshine arriving in a southerly breeze before those showers push across from the west. but we're introducing some slightly drier air from france — hence the cloud breaking up more than it did on wednesday, and so temperatures could reach 16, even 17 celsius. quite chilly underneath that rain, though, in the central belt of scotland. and that wet weather is still around as we head into thursday evening. that low pressure will slowly pull away — we've got another one waiting in the wings here as we head towards the weekend. but this is how friday looks — and we've got wet weather in scotland sinking into northern england, a bit of snow over the mountains. we see some heavier showers developing further south, particularly in the southeast of england, with the risk of thunder. drier, though, for northern ireland are becoming drier in scotland, but we're getting

a northerly wind here — hence the temperatures will be dropping a bit through the day. it won't be quite as warm in the southeast, but still temperatures of 13—14 celsius. as that area of low pressure moves away, things will calm down just for a while before the next weather system pushes in from the atlantic. but ahead of that, we'll have clear skies and light winds, so it's going to be cold. and there may be a frost around as well, particularly in scotland, with temperatures down as low as —3 or so. and there may be 1—2 mist and fog patches, too — but those will lift. we'll have some sunshine for a while, but we've got the weather system coming in from the atlantic — the cloud will tend to increase, rain for northern ireland coming into southwest scotland, wales, and the southwest of england. eastern areas still generally dry, but after that cold start, it's only going to be around 7 celsius in northeast scotland. most of the rain over the weekend will actually be on saturday night. and then, as we head into the early part of next week, it looks like it could be a bit drier, and it should stay on the mild side.
