to live up to the hype, but a year ago the gunners crumbled in the corresponding fixture and their title hopes melted away. city have scored in their previous 57 home fixtures, and mikel arteta hailed his team's resillience in stopping them. you need big performance, and defensively as well, at the etihad you have to be at your best. 2021, the last time that they have not scored our goal here at the etihad. that is the level that they have. the big winners in the title race were liverpool who are two points clear of arsenal at the top of the table after beating brighton. it was far from easy — they went behind in the 87th second when danny welbeck scored. but goals from luis diaz and mo salah secured the three points. there was added intrigue to the match as the brighton head coach, roberto de zerbi, has been linked with the liverpool job whenjurgen klopp leaves at the end of the season. klopp is certainly a fan of the way brighton play.

games against brighton, when they were never close. today, chasing them at the right moments. so many good things for a football coach. that is why i am really happy with the result as well. yes, it is nerve—wracking, sorry, for all of ours, but that is the first of the last ten. let us keep going. in the final of the women's english league cup a goal from in extra—time gave arsenal a 1—0 victory over chelsea. there was though some animosity between the two managers at the end of the match with the chelsea manager, emma hayes, accusing her arsenal counterpart of "male aggression" on the sidelines towards her player, erin cuthbertson, whilejonas eideval said chelsea were moving the goalposts to suit themselves. we had a discussion before the game, where both clubs has to agree if we

in the final in 2021 and 2023. his defeat by carlos alacraz in indian wells a fortnight ago remains the only time he's been beaten so far this year. it is really special. but it is a moment. you love this moment. you are happy, then you fly to cincinnati, the day after you play again. there is not so much time to enjoy this. i know that i don't have so much time to prepare for a monocle. this is now trying to get confidence with clay. nelly korda hit a bogey—free seven—under—par 65 to claim her third lpga tour victory on the trot in arizona. the world number one, who started the day two shots off the lead, closed with two birdies in her final three holes to set the clubhouse target on 20 under. australian rookie hira naveed

the first part of a brand new series from peaky blinders creator steven knight aired on bbc one last night. this town is set in 1980s birmingham, and follows the formation of a band and the rise of the two tone music genre. two tone became one of the most famous sounds of the 80s with bands such as the specials and the selecter, and it all started in the west midlands. 0ur reporter ben sidwell can tell us more. i don't think we were a political party, we were a pop group, but we had this political message. what i thought was odd at the time was if somebody could have a record out in that period and not mention what was going on outside in the street. # i bought my baby a red radio. # he played it all. day, go—go a—go—go. i've always felt very, very strongly that the two—tone movement was bigger than all of us. that's why it survives.

it was that moment in time, at the time nobody saw, but it was unique. coventry, 1979. a backdrop of rising unemployment, social unrest and racial tension that gave birth to a genre of music that seemed to sum up the feel of the city and the country — two—tone. it was the only reason i wanted to write songs was the enormities that were going on. we were only singing about what was being talked about in every pub and at every bus stop. it wasn't just about the music, but that was the backdrop to our lives. so whatever you're bringing to the stage, you're bringing part of your life too, part of your thinking, part of your way of interpreting the world at that time. bands such as the selecter and the specials from coventry and the beat from birmingham were at the forefront of two—tone, made up of both black and white musicians, sending a very visual message to a divided nation.

it was just great to look out at a sea of people and see yourself reflected in it. and, you know, you were fronting to a whole load of people, some of which actually didn't like you very much. they liked the music, but they actually didn't like it. we were very different people i and i think that was the, for me, that was the interesting i thing about the specials. lynval golding was the first black person that i'd ever sat down - and talked to in my life. the thing that i think that we all get wrong about the specials is their songs are of a moment. they were bob dylan, they were political... they were political hand grenades. you know, too much too young was a generation. within a few years, despite all the success, all three bands had split. but 45 years on, two—tone is still going strong and the music

it created seems just as relevant. ben sidwell, bbc news. for two hours on easter sunday racers sped down in their finest costumes trying to stay on all three wheels. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol. hello again. the weather this week remains fairly unsettled. it will be wet and windy at times. but it is going to turn a bit milder.

you can see how we have the yellows and then the ambers across much of the country. still the blues across the north of scotland, until we get to the end of the week, then you can see the yellows and the ambers pushing that bit further north as it turns a little bit warmer. what we have today across the central swathe of the country is a lot of cloud and some rain, slowly edging northwards. to the south of that, some sunshine. but some showers, some of them heavy and thundery. the driest, sunniest conditions will be across the far north and north—west of scotland. feeling cooler in the breeze, coming in from the north sea. top temperatures today up to about 15 degrees. through this evening and overnight, that band of rain continues to push northwards across scotland. cloudy and damp for northern ireland. for england and wales we have some clear skies, some mist and fog patches forming and breezy with showers, moving across the english channel. temperatures falling away under the clear skies to one or two across northern and eastern parts of england, as well as wales. into tomorrow, we start off with this rain across scotland, brisk winds here. variable amounts of cloud tomorrow, with one or two showers and some sunny skies. we also have the next batch of rain

coming in from the south—west, where the wind will also pick up. temperatures six to 15 degrees, north to south. as we head to the middle of the week, we've got low pressure pushing eastwards, dragging rain with it. as we push further north, we are looking at a fair bit of cloud. rain on and off and snow in the mountains. come south, there will be some brighter skies, but also some showers and temperatures five to about 1k degrees. heading into thursday, quite a messy picture. for scotland, the cloud and rain will be on and off. for england, wales and northern ireland we're looking at cloudy conditions, with some rain or, indeed, some showers. temperature—wise, five in the north, 16 in the south. slowly, temperatures are starting to rise. as we head into friday, it looks very much like its going to be wet and also very windy, and the forecast beyond that does remain unsettled, but slightly warmer than it has been.
