to check your e—mail, i've got something special for you. hello and welcome to sportsday. good evening — it's arsene wenger‘s last chance to go out with a bang. the europa league remains his only chance of silverware this season — and a chance to qualify for the champions league. it's the first leg of arsenal's semi—final against atletico madrid this evening — in about an hour and a half's time. and our correspondent joe wilson is there for us. he's been playing down hype of a "perfect finish" — but wenger will surely be feeling the pressure tonight? the way i see it, he will want to go out with a bang, this is a huge

opportunity, arsene wenger has acknowledged it would be an anti—climax if arsenal did not at least reach the final of the europa league. whether he jumped least reach the final of the europa league. whether hejumped or was gently pushed, he has been hurt by the way that sections of the club have turned against him, the way various arsenal supporters have decided the club is better off without him. this is an opportunity for him to end that, for one night for him to end that, for one night for everyone to pull together for a common goal of beating atletico in the first leg. when arsene wenger points to the stadium behind, he can say that this is legacy, consisting qualification for the champions league. but in his long association with the club he has never managed to wina with the club he has never managed to win a european trophy so one question for him, would winning the europa league represent the biggest satisfaction in his career? you

know, i do not look at that at the moment, but i just know, i do not look at that at the moment, but ijust want to do well andl moment, but ijust want to do well and i want to win and i want to continue to do what i did my whole life, tried to win the next game. the next game is in europe and then we go to manchester united and i wa nt we go to manchester united and i want to try to win the game again, thatis want to try to win the game again, that is all i did. people keep what they want and you have to accept that. there's no doubt that the arsenal players have produced their best football in this competition, scoring 29 goals, beating ac milan and cska moscow. aaron ramsey has been speaking this week impress racial but this game and i wonder if the arsenal players —— has been speaking this week in preparation for this game and i wonder if the players have been thinking about the manager. he has been here for such a long time, it is hard to imagine anyone else as the arsenal manager,

but our focus is purely on the next game and hopefully finishing off the season with silverware. whatever happens after that, we can sit down and have a good think about that, but at the moment it is about trying to achieve something special for us and for the manager. players and supporters hoping for the perfect end for arsene wenger but atletico have the quality to spoil his swansong. yes, have the quality to spoil his swansong . yes, never have the quality to spoil his swansong. yes, never mind the europa league, atletico have been in the final day champions day, they are above real madrid in la liga. there is the possibility that diego costa might be involved this evening, but we thought he was injured. griezmann is also there, leading their attacking options. he is much sought—after in europe, but the possibility might go to barcelona in the summer. fernando torres, in his

last season at atletico, but in defence they are really strong. they have barely conceded goals in la liga and you would feel that if arsenal have a real chance of winning over two legs they have got to go for it here this evening. jo, thanks forjoining us. liverpool have arranged a meeting in rome tomorrow, ahead of the second leg of the champions league semi—final against roma, in a bid to secure the safety of travelling supporters. after the violence outside anfield on tuesday night, when liverpool beat roma 5—2 in the first leg, the club will meet with officials from roma, uefa and the italian police and security services. liverpool fan sean cox is still in a critical condition in hospital with a head injury — two men from italy have been charged for their part in the violence. today's big breaking story was that the fa have been offered around £900 million for wembley stadium. the offer comes from fulham fc owner shahid khan — who also owns jacksonville jaguars — the american football team. it's part of plans to play more

understand they will plough the cash, half £1 billion, into the grassroots of the game, improving facilities and building new ag pictures and improving the levels of the game throughout all the ways it is played in england —— pitches. speaking to the bbc in the last half an hour, shahid khan has told us that he is confident that the deal can be completed within the next 8-12 can be completed within the next 8—12 weeks. he is in florida because the nfl draft is taking place. he says the deal could be done within three months, so confident with him, but the fa are facing very big questions, are they going take the cash? it could move very quickly. thanks forjoining us. the relationship between sunderland and midfielder jack rodwell looks to be more fragile than ever. after being hit by a series of injuries, he hasn't played for the first team since september and the club offered to tear up his contract

at the beginning of the year. manager chris coleman has made it clear he's not part of his plans — here's what he had to say when asked whether rodwell would be playing against fulham tomorrow. laughter that's not... i don't even know where jack is, to be honest. no, he won't be involved. i'm quite sure we've gone down the legal route, we are stuck with a player who does not wa nt to are stuck with a player who does not want to play for sunderland and he wa nts to want to play for sunderland and he wants to leave. but where is he going to go to? that is the conundrum. play for somebody else, but the stumbling block is the contract. jack did that article that he wanted to play for england again. to do that he will have to play football somewhere. steven gerrard is on a shortlist to become the new manager of rangers. he retired in 2016 and joined the youth set up at liverpool after rejecting an offer to manage mk dons. he's being considered as a possible

successor to pedro caixinha who was sacked last october. graeme murty is in charge until the end of the season, but is unlikely to be given the job on a permanent basis. also coming up in the programme. we'll look ahead to this evening's action at the world snooker championship — hazel irvine and the gang will have a full round—up from the crucible. and take drugs or race men — that's the option given to female athletes who naturally register high levels of testosterone in their bodies. we'll have more on new rules from the iaaf. the venues and fixtures for next year's cricket world cup have been decided — england will begin against south africa at the oval on may 30th. lord's will host the final and the semi—finals will be played old trafford and edgbaston.

drama. he has offered a guaranteed 50 million for anthonyjoshua to facing but the condition is he gets to pick the venue. it is a one fight deal, their rematch. —— no rematch é 5551: this is %’ this is him $555”; this is him try to take control of the situation. this is their chance to redress the balance and it shows there's an appetite to make this fight, but they are trying to negotiate the best possible deal theirfighters. and you've been in manchester today listening to another of britain's heavyweights — tyson fury — who'd love to be challenging for one of those belts at some stage in the future. he's been out of action for a while — what did he have to say today? we did not hear about who he will be fighting. he returns to the ring in june, he seems to be in a different

headspace than he has been in the last couple of years we've link wished his belt and took time away from the sport because of mental health issues —— and ruling question his belt. —— ruling question. the ultimate target is to regain the heavyweight title, potentially facing aisnejosh heavyweight title, potentially facing aisne josh rowe, heavyweight title, potentially facing aisnejosh rowe, and he hasn't lost his sense of humour —— potentially facing anthonyjoshua. that is how he would go. slipping out and hitting him with a straight left, but apart from that, i would probably sing a song and then get drunk afterwards. have a bottle of rose. sounds like a good way to celebrate! and david haye is back in action after a year out — against tony bellew on the 5th may — the rematch of the fight that bellew won 1a months ago. that was a shock result. a week on

saturday they will do it all over again, david haye was expected to win the first fight but he ruptured his achilles. david haye has got to get past tony bellew. he's trying to get past tony bellew. he's trying to get back into the heavyweight division, but if he cannot win this, there is no way he will get to fight there is no way he will get to fight the likes of anthonyjoshua. he now says he made of a stake in the way he approached the first fight. —— made a mistake in the way.|j he approached the first fight. —— made a mistake in the way. i will keep my distance and i won't engage in any of the negativity and you will see a positive performance on the night because last time it was completely negative and they say negativity breeds negativity and i the until in? fight. e until
