6:34 pm
well. it's number one. and there's no disputing that. let's get more on this from the former chelsea and scotland winger, pat nevin who told me that though celtic should edge it, old firm matches are so hard to predict. it is at home, at celtic park and is going to be no supporters in the venue at all and is going to be a two point meet her at the top of the league and the goal difference just about everything in their favour. but, and it's a big but, and rangers and anything can happen if you do not believe that you think it's cliche, i have a little look at what happened in the last game they played at the because it is six minutes and the score was 2—1 and it is madness and mayhem that can happen in the joy of it is, is madness and mayhem that can happen in thejoy of it is, rangers, they have to go out and try and attack and when the game and it

6:36 pm
it really has an effect on your ears and you can feel it after the game measure walking away from it. celtic rangers are extra special and most football fans want to see and hear and experience it. it is the tiuhtest and experience it. it is the tightest title _ and experience it. it is the tightest title race - and experience it. it is the tightest title race or - and experience it. it is the - tightest title race or something like that when celtic debris much home and host because of that goal difference and going down to the final weekend. the difference and going down to the final weekend.— difference and going down to the final weekend. ., ., ., , final weekend. the amount of times it happened — final weekend. the amount of times it happened as _ final weekend. the amount of times it happened as not _ final weekend. the amount of times it happened as not been _ final weekend. the amount of times it happened as not been frequent i final weekend. the amount of times | it happened as not been frequent but it happened as not been frequent but it does happen then again, this feels like it is the game and the rangers can win it, we have a very good chance. this will be historic for finishes good chance. this will be historic forfinishes up in the reaction you'll get it and it is an amazing feeling and amazing time and regular games and the upside is going to be a big victory by got the scottish

6:40 pm
repeated. but will be expected the premier league and from the referees is to correct these mistakes and we see that this is been repeated and repeated and it's something that we have great concern with and for me, it is not bad to speak about it. i think that for me, speaking about it and having a great appetite to correct it does not damage the sport, what damages the sport is this unfair decisions in my opinion. so forest are at stamford bridge tomorrow, where chelsea are still pushing for european football. they're seventh at the moment, which should be enough for the europa conference league. at the start of the season, given their spending, the'd have expected to be higher up the table, does that fall on the manager, mauricio pochettino. today he seemed quite relaxed about whatever the summer will bring.
6:41 pm
all in the assessment, we are happy, perfect, but we are happy and maybe we say maybe we are not happy and then the situation, we are not happy about this. it will be the first time that they had to do this decision and it is not the end of it. david moyes already knows that he'll be a free agent this summer. his west ham contract is at an end and julen lopetegui, the former wolves and spain manager is coming in. that was announced on monday, and we heard from moyes for the first time today when he was asked about his it year spell in charge coming to an end. i'm really comfortable with the situation and i'm comfortable with the board and so, at the moment, everything is fine and it is football. i've been away for quite a
6:42 pm
while for my family and this was always going to be a moment where i had to make a decision. i think it's the right decision for both parties and for myself and for this, we will go our separate ways and which other way good one half years. the latest edition of the football news show takes a closer look at the penultimate weekend in the premier league league and also moyes' departure. the former hammers' defender matthew upson gave his thoughts on lopetegui's arrival. add a bit of success and really steadied the ship and add a bit of success and really steadied the ship— add a bit of success and really steadied the ship and pulled them out of the situation _ steadied the ship and pulled them out of the situation and _ steadied the ship and pulled them out of the situation and looked - steadied the ship and pulled them | out of the situation and looked like they could get relegated and steadied the ship and they do that brilliantly, done that so well in the premier league in west tampa for that side and exciting flare and really attack winning football, i'm not too sure if that's going to be the name on the list for the west end fans.
6:43 pm
the name on the list for the west ham fans. that's just one of the topics on the football news show, looking ahead to the weekend. you can find that now on the bbc iplayer just one other football line for you and everton have confirmed today that they have withdrawn their appeal against a two point deduction for breaching financial rules. they had already been docked six points, but having secured their prmier league status, they have now decided not to appeal the latest sanction handed to them. the curtain is coming down onjames anderson's england career. he has taken more test wickets than any other pace bowler 700, but he is now 41 and the head coach brendan mccullum travelled back from new zealand to tell him in person that they are now looking to the future. test match special�*s henry moeranjoins me, henry, in many way�*s this is farfrom surprising, the signs were there towards the end of that tour of india, and even last summer, in the ashes. do we think he'll get a last swan—song in the series against west indies
6:44 pm
and sri lanka, especially at old trafford, you can't deny him thatthere'll be time enough to go they made their debut in 2003 and only one test cricketer has played more matches than 187 played by jimmy anderson and what is perhaps a bit of a surprise is in the last few months, we've heard that he feels as good a shape as ever and we know how valuable he is in particularly in the team led by ben stokes but of course, you have to look at the numbers in the future and the states that are coming up and anderson struggled a bit and you can see the five wickets in the match is played and that in some ways, the raw data in terms of the wickets taken at the inevitable step. the in terms of the wickets taken at the inevitable step.— inevitable step. the rebuild is on which is 18 _ inevitable step. the rebuild is on which is 18 months _ inevitable step. the rebuild is on which is 18 months 2025 - inevitable step. the rebuild is on which is 18 months 2025 in - inevitable step. the rebuild is on | which is 18 months 2025 in terms inevitable step. the rebuild is on i which is 18 months 2025 in terms of

6:47 pm
there was a minutes silence followed by a minute's applause ahead of their match at canterbury against kent and silences were held at all the other fixures taking place around the country. baker represented the england under—19's and died on 2nd may, a day after taking three wickets for the second xi. west mercia police are not investigating baker's death, with no suspicious circumstances suspected let's have a quick look at some of the other stories today nat sciver—brunt will miss the start of england's t20 series against pakistan after undergoing a minor medical procedure. they play the opening match at edgbaston tomorrow. she has been cleared to play for the rest of the series ireland have beaten pakistan by five wickets in the first match of their t20 series. ireland restricted paksitan to 182 for six from their twenty overs and knocked off the runs with a ball to spare. andy murray will play a challenger event in bordeaux next week. he's back sooner than expected after injuring his ankle

to be more of the same — mostly dry on saturday, spells of sunshine. it will be very warm. but by sunday, signs of a change, some thundery showers as atlantic weather fronts start to edge in. but in the short term, this area of high pressure just about holding firm. underneath that high through tonight, we'll have largely clear skies. and it is possible, particularly across the northern half of the uk, that you might get a glimpse of the northern lights, the aurora borealis. there's been a lot of geomagnetic activity, a solar storm heading our way, so do keep an eye to the sky. it could be an impressive display, particularly the further north you are. certainly staying dry with those clear skies, although an area of cloud likely to affect some parts of eastern england, also some areas of low cloud close to shetland. temperatures overnight not dropping far, generally between 7 and 12 degrees. so into tomorrow, a fine start, some good spells of sunshine, any early cloud in eastern england burning back towards north sea coasts. now, there is just the small chance of catching a shower, especially up over high ground in scotland. could be the odd hefty one, the odd thundery one. but most places will stay dry. in the sunshine, temperatures in glasgow, for instance, up to 2a degrees. western counties of northern ireland

particularly could just see one or two showers, one or two across the far north of england. but for the bulk of england and wales, spells of sunshine, just a bit of patchy, fair weather cloud. maybe a bit murky for some north sea coasts, but highs of around 25 degrees. now, as we head through saturday night and into sunday, our area of high pressure begins to loosen its grip and these frontal systems will start to push quite erratically in from the atlantic. so on sunday, the further east you are, a decent chance of staying dry with some very warm sunshine. a bit murky for some coasts of eastern scotland. but out towards the west, we will see some thunderstorms starting to pop up. quite hit—and—miss, but if you catch one, could give you a lot of rain in a short space of time. still, though, very warm indeed, with temperatures up to around 25 or 26 degrees. those temperatures certainly will not last. into next week, a much coolerfeel. temperatures generally between 15 and 18 degrees, showers or longer spells of rain, turning much more unsettled.
