time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz the weather is all over the place. we had high—pressure and glorious clear skies over the weekend with the aurora. clear skies over the weekend with the aurora-— clear skies over the weekend with the aurora. over the last few days cloud has been _ the aurora. over the last few days cloud has been on _ the aurora. over the last few days cloud has been on the _ the aurora. over the last few days cloud has been on the increase i the aurora. over the last few days. cloud has been on the increase and thatis cloud has been on the increase and that is pretty much what we have got for the rest of the week. low pressure has decided to park itself over the uk just to the south—west and the weather front currently is across eastern and more northern parts of the uk. this is pretty much what we have got for the next few days. in some areas, clear skies and in others, to cloud and skegness can be a bit damp or overnight. that is pretty much it. not cold, temperatures around 11 to 13 degrees. the weather front is still

in skegness and across northern part of england, the peak district northwards, damp weather and may be a few showers in the midlands. north of that in scotland, lovely weather. south of that across england and wales, fine conditions and some sunshine in belfast, too. tomorrow evening, that weather front is still there and it has aligned itself with there and it has aligned itself with the wind and this thursday, again, thatis the wind and this thursday, again, that is where the cloudy weather is. if you are in yorkshire, eastern parts of england, east anglia and it will be cloudy and at times a damp couple of days. 23 in the north of scotland and to the south, sunny spells and 20 degrees. 0n scotland and to the south, sunny spells and 20 degrees. on friday, a few showers on the cards once again. temperatures around about the average, i think for most of us, but on the warm side across parts of scotland. this is the outlook, so the mishmash of sunny icons, rainy icons and a hint that as we head towards the end of the weekend and into next week, things will settle down. at the moment it is a mixed

bag. that's it, let's join that's it, let'sjoin colleagues that's it, let's join colleagues for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm jane dougall. postecoglu says 100% of tottenham fans will support them against pep's manchester city, but it's a quandary for spurs supporters. a win would help rivals arsenal in their bid to win the league. bright is back after five months out injured. the world cup captain is named in the lionesses squad as they take the first step in defending their euros title. and we hear from the teammate of ice hockey player adam johnson on the trauma of watching his friend fatally injured on the ice. also coming up on sportsday — the childhood friends syncing up

to head to another olympics and looking for more than just medals. both of our mums got us into this sport and coached us for a long time, so carrying on that legacy is really nice and ijust hope i'm making my mum proud. welcome to the programme. we've had many tight finishes to the league before, but tonight's situation is slightly unusual. tottenham are at home to league contenders manchester city. if the hosts win, they not only put a serious dent in city's race for the title, they also help their north london rivals arsenal in their bid to win the premier league. here's the table — arsenal are currently top and need city to drop points to win the league, while spurs still have a slim chance

of finishing fourth and getting champions league football next season. so that leaves tottenham fans in a difficult situation — do they support their team as always, or do they root for tottenham to lose, meaning manchester city leapfrog arsenal with one game to go? 0ur sports correspondent natalie pirks is outside tottenham hotspur stadium. natalie, it does sound like a very strange situation to be in for tottenham fans. are they torn at the moment? they're so torn. this is so hard for them! actually, it's not, because them! actually, it's not, because the majority i've spoken to are quite happy for spurs to lose. some of them say they want to get smashed 4-0. of them say they want to get smashed 4—0. let's get the goal different up. obviously that guy wants spurs to win. that's one of them. spurs do

have some skin in that game. a win would take them within two points of aston villa. but like i said, and postecoglou reckons they're not. most would rather suffer to feet then see mikel arteta parading on then see mikel arteta parading on the streets with a trophy in north london. let's have a listen to what of the fans have said. basically, we can't qualify for the league. we might as well be happy with your above. and let city when the league. we with your above. and let city when the league-— the league. we go two up, so it never happens _ the league. we go two up, so it never happens under _ the league. we go two up, so it never happens under ange, - the league. we go two up, so it never happens under ange, so l the league. we go two up, so it - never happens under ange, so they win in_ never happens under ange, so they win in extra — never happens under ange, so they win in extra time. just to prolong the pain — win in extra time. just to prolong the pain i — win in extra time. just to prolong the ain. ~ �* win in extra time. just to prolong the ain. ~' �* ., ., the pain. i think we've got to win toniaht. i the pain. i think we've got to win tonight. i would _ the pain. i think we've got to win tonight. i would hate _ the pain. i think we've got to win tonight. i would hate the - the pain. i think we've got to win | tonight. i would hate the gunners the pain. i think we've got to win . tonight. i would hate the gunners to win the _ tonight. i would hate the gunners to win the title, — tonight. i would hate the gunners to win the title, but _ tonight. i would hate the gunners to win the title, but it's _ tonight. i would hate the gunners to win the title, but it's a _ tonight. i would hate the gunners to win the title, but it's a game - tonight. i would hate the gunners to win the title, but it's a game of- win the title, but it's a game of foothall— win the title, but it's a game of football and _ win the title, but it's a game of football and we _ win the title, but it's a game of football and we have _ win the title, but it's a game of football and we have to - win the title, but it's a game of football and we have to win. i

we are expecting the players to be fully professional. it is all the pressure on manchester city not to slip up? i pressure on manchester city not to sli u? ~' pressure on manchester city not to sli . u . ? ~' , ., , pressure on manchester city not to sli--u? , slip up? i think so. this has actually been _ slip up? i think so. this has actually been a _ slip up? i think so. this has actually been a happy - slip up? i think so. this has l actually been a happy hunting slip up? i think so. this has - actually been a happy hunting ground for pep guardiola. they haven't won here since the new tottenham hotspur stadium was opened, but they did win in the fa cup injanuary. i think the thing with their city is that they've hit perfect form in the perfect time. 21 matches unbeaten, only four of those withdrawals. you would say that city will win tonight —— were draws. spurs�*s win was the first in five. if you're going with form, city very much would be winners here tonight. but it's a funny game where everything can happen. we could be in a bizarre situation where city score and you get fans of both sides cheering

goals. this is the point of the season that we talk about squeaky bum time. we know that from sir alex ferguson. but there is one person, pep guardiola, who isn't quite familiar with the phrase. sir alex ferguson used to call this squeaky— sir alex ferguson used to call this squeaky bum time.— squeaky bum time. translate? laughter _ laughter going viral. laughter goina viral. ,, ,, �* going viral. crosstalk this began, _ going viral. crosstalk this began, will- going viral. crosstalk this began, will you - going viral. crosstalk this began, will you be| going viral. crosstalk - this began, will you be nervous? will you — this began, will you be nervous? will you experience squeaky bum time? _ will you experience squeaky bum time? ., ., ., time? no, i have to tell the players to exect time? no, i have to tell the players to expect we're _ time? no, i have to tell the players to expect we're going _ time? no, i have to tell the players to expect we're going to _ time? no, i have to tell the players to expect we're going to play - to expect we're going to play tomorrow— to expect we're going to play tomorrow with— to expect we're going to play tomorrow with a _ to expect we're going to play tomorrow with a field - to expect we're going to play tomorrow with a field day. i to expect we're going to play| tomorrow with a field day. of to expect we're going to play - tomorrow with a field day. of course i will tomorrow with afield day. of course i will feel_ tomorrow with a field day. of course i will feel it — tomorrow with a field day. of course i will feel it. otherwise, we - tomorrow with a field day. of course i will feel it. otherwise, we would i i will feel it. otherwise, we would be a i will feel it. otherwise, we would he a had — i will feel it. otherwise, we would he a bad side _ so, i recap. city haven't been beaten since early december, but defeat would leave arsenal one point

ahead with one match to go, and even ahead with one match to go, and even a draw would be good for arsenal because they're up on goal difference by three because city has been chipping at that. victory for manchester city would take them to points clear of arsenal, who have got west ham at home. arsenal have got west ham at home. arsenal have got everton at home. city win, it's in their hands. historic fourth consecutive title coming up there. who knows? tonight might not be decisive, but will certainly be pivotal in swing the title. it’s pivotal in swing the title. it's auoin to pivotal in swing the title. it's going to be _ pivotal in swing the title. it's going to be fascinating. natalie, thank you so much. celtic manager brendan rogers has said he'll be watching the manchester city tottenham game and not the only game in the scottish premiership later. that's despite the fact its outcome could hand the league title to celtic. if rangers lose to dundee at ibrox tonight then they will not be able to catch their old firm rivals.

but they have a tough task ahead of them, rangers will be without 11 first team players for the penultimate league match of the season, including john lundstram who was sent off in the loss to celtic at the weekend. kheredine idessane is outside ibrox. it's not quite going to be the sendoff that the rangers a supporter were hoping for. the equation is simple. victory is a must for rangers, some of the players playing here tonight at ibrox may not play for the club here again. there's going to be a reboot in the summer, so lots of the players might be saying farewell. certainly here at ibrox. victory is essential because after the disappointing derby defeat to rivals celtic, rangers trail at the top of the table by six points with just six to play for. unless rangers simply want to hand celtic

the title as they prepare for potential title party in kilmarnock tomorrow, rangers simply must win to keep their slender hopes alive. dundee have something to play for as well because they could still finish fifth in the league and with that comes european football next season. however, for that to happen, they have to win here that ibrox for the first time in 23 years. 2001, when the argentine scar was playing, he scored in that game. it's a last time the dark blues have won on this ground. will rangers be able to restore a little bit of right after that breweries defeat? it's all on the line —— bruising. kheredine idessane, bbc news, ibrox. let's take a quick look at some of the other football news stories making the headlines. bbc sport will continue showing the fa cup on free—to—air television

after agreeing a four—year deal with tnt sports, which begins next year. under the partnership, the bbc will screen 1a games per season, including the final at wembley. raphael varane will leave manchester united when his contract runs out at the end of the season. the 31—year—old defender, who won the world cup with france in 2018, joined from real madrid three years ago and has made 93 appearances for the club. arsenal women will have the emirates stadium as their main home from next season. they averaged crowds of more than 52 thousand in six wsl they averaged crowds of more than 52,000 in six wsl games there this season. next season, they'll play eight league games and three group games in the women's champions league — if they manage to reach that stage, and any subsequent knockout ties. hibernian have sacked head coach nick montgomery after their 4—0 loss to aberdeen on saturday. montgomery's exit leaves hibs in ninth place and looking for a sixth permanent boss in just over four years.

the premier league chief executive richard masters and the english football league boss rick parry had a difference of opinion over parachute payments today while appearing in front of a select committee on parliament's football governance bill. they were giving evidence regarding the proposal, which would mean an independent regulator with statutory powers over professional football clubs in england. joe lynskey has been following the story and joins us now. just explain what's been happening. rick parry and richard masters were brought to discuss what the brief of this should be. what issues would fall under the scope in which one student? one notable issue they disagree on is parachute payments because it's that something that the

regulator won't control. richard masters said that the payment clubs received when they are relegated is what he said was a competitive tool. but rick parry from the efl said intellectually incoherence with the words —— with the words, he feels it makes it harder for clubs to breakthrough for the top division. we've seen ipswich town this season winning a second straight promotion. that issue is symbolic in a way of these figures approaching these debates, because masters is keen to restain some autonomy for them and profit. but rick parry feels the game needs more control from the top. we view it positively. everything we've _ we view it positively. everything we've found so far in terms of engagement with the cms and in terms

yorkshire under the front thing damp and murky through the afternoon. it was cool and cloudy for many of us today with outbreaks of rain quite heavy through the morning from a front gradually pushing northwards and eastwards north yorkshire under the front, staying rather damp and murky through the afternoon. some of the bluest of the skies, best of the sunshine, highest temperatures were across northern areas of scotland and not much is set to change as we head through the next few days. it will generally stay unsettled showers at times, also some sunny spells but sunniest across northern scotland, cooler and cloudier for eastern facing coasts with

plenty of threat and haar moving in from the north sea and a southeasterly wind. here's our area of low pressure just spinning around, sending this front out towards the north and the east. but it's pretty much stationary as we head through tonight. it will still be given some rain at times, but a lot of that rain particularly sharp, perhaps across parts of northern ireland, but some sunny spells as well. best of the sunshine for scotland, where we could get to highs of 23 or even 2a celsius later on through the afternoon on thursday. or even 2a celsius later on through the afternoon. on thursday, the focus of the showers will tend to be across central areas of the uk. again, it's largely dry for scotland as scattering of showers across the south, but also some sunny spells. and of course the sunshine will help to lift the temperature highs. high teens, late 20s again in celsius, so just slightly above the seasonal average. as we head through the rest of the week, then our area of low pressure just gradually sinks further southwards. towards the near continent, we see high pressure build into the north. so, here, it's likely to stay mostly

dry as we head through the weekend. so, if we just take a look at scotland, northern ireland — lots of dry weather and it will feel warm in the best of the sunshine, whereas further south, although temperatures remain above the average, there will be some showers. at 7pm in london and this is the road today. i am louis vonjones.
