liverpool at the top of the table. they really have been the story in english football. they were here just a couple of weeks ago. it was a very wet friday night. liverpool won that. it was a very important match for them. it made sure they would be topped the for christmas. jurgen klopp has got some decisions to make over his team news. expect a much changed liverpool team from the one lost against manchester city just a few days ago. it is a 7:45pm kick—off, so we should have that tea m kick—off, so we should have that team news for you towards the end of the programme. alan shearer is going to bejoining me in the next couple of winners to look ahead to the match and look act at the weekend, what stories we have told you from some of those third—round ties. some of those lesser teams making it into tonight's fourth round draw. the fa cup has lost its magic. it is

boring. nobody really cares about it any more. the tv money has ruined it. yeah, right! tell that to gillingham, newport county, or old. a weekend of shock started at priestfield, where cardiff were read the last rites. gillingham have killed a few giants in their times. let's add this to the list. there is a chance here for elliott list! he has only gone and scored! elliott list were gillingham, inside the la st list were gillingham, inside the last ten minutes of the game! cardiff, now knocked out of both cup competitions by lower league opposition. if there was a shocker saturday, huddersfield's axe it was more mild surprise. they had lost their last eight, went ashton gate, and it went downhill gangster... brownhill... josh brownhill, and still brownhill! josh brownhill puts bristol city in front. premier league survival now huddersfield's sole focus. fulham at least had the chance to score the winner against league 2 0ldham. relief! they got out of jail. this

league 2 0ldham. relief! they got out ofjail. this is that boring old fa cup, remember! in comes across. look at the surge! it easier next macro what an upset this could be! what an upset it was. not bad from ca reta ker what an upset it was. not bad from caretaker boss pete while, who had bought his ticket to watch from the stand, before getting the best seat in the house to watch fulham's demise. i am the most proud man in 0ldham. demise. i am the most proud man in oldham. can you believe it? no, still can't believe it, no. you had better believe it. two points behind them in the league newport county, he knew something we didn't. they nearly knocked out tottenham last days in. leicester were not so lucky. just like last year, the premier league side equalised. unlike last year, this fairy tale had a happy ending, and leicester had a happy ending, and leicester had a happy ending, and leicester had a hand. newport lead again! what a roar! aroar so loud you might have heard it in england, although it would have had to have drowned out the data from brammall lane. this is non—league barnet taking the lead

against sheffield united. colthurst get it in! barnet one against premier league chasing sheffield united. yes, the game has gone. the fa cup has lost all its magic! ben crouch with that report, looking back at the weekend. barnet the only non—league team who will be in the draw later this evening. it will be held here at molineux. just a few minutes after the final whistle goes here. alan shearer was on duty at newport county yesterday. what a story that was against leicester. we will talk about that in a moment. can you sense an upset here? would be an upset if wolves beat liverpool. 0r be an upset if wolves beat liverpool. or would it? we're expecting changes in the liverpool team, so i'm sure when the wolves players like that, they will think, we have a chance. i know it was a difficult match for them in the league here about a month ago, but they had chances in the first half will stop could have been a different story if they had taken us chances. we are expecting a really

good game. whether it would be as good game. whether it would be as good as yesterday, but that newport game, remains to be seen. we have so, but we should season goals, because to attacking teams. wolves have beaten spurs and chelsea, and taking points up all the top teams apart from liverpool. when they click, they could be very clever. they have been very impressive in the premier league, you are right, they have had some very good results against some big boys. that shows that they are not afraid to take them on, not to change their game, but to go and entertain the live ta ke but to go and entertain the live take them on, and that is one reason iam take them on, and that is one reason i am expecting an exciting game here tonight, because wolves will not change. they have played how they will play, they will try to attack and score goals, they will maybe concede a few chances, but there should be good for the neutral. 2003, 16 years ago, you scored a penalty in the third round. newcastle lost to wolves. what does the cup mean to you at the third—round? the cup mean to you at the third-round? it is certainly refreshing when you see some of the results we saw yesterday. as i said,

i mentioned newport, barnet also. there has been criticism from outside about some teams leaving the rest of the players out. well, leicester got that they deserved doing that yesterday. we expect liverpool to leave a few players out tonight, but it is slightly different for liverpool, because they are the top of the premier league, they are in the champions league, they are in the champions league, so they have other priorities than this fa cup, so that is sort of understandable. the team that they will put out will still be full of international is, so they are giving themselves a good chance to go into the next round, because let's face it, it is a good chance that —— let's face it, it is a good chance that -- it let's face it, it is a good chance that —— it is important that lovable wina that —— it is important that lovable win a trophy this season after what they have been through. stay with us, because that is what we'll hear jurgen klopp, the liverpool manager talk about now. what does the fa cup mean to him? when people talk to me about silverware, it always looks like we have to get each little thing. if we won the fa cup, people would say, you still did not win the

premier league for 25 years. that is how it is. we cannot change what other people think and stuff like that. we have to change our best —— try our best every game we play, and so try our best every game we play, and so far, not only the season, but thatis so far, not only the season, but that is what the boys did. so come jurgen klopp talking about balancing things yesterday, with that demand for silverware. he has been knocked out in the fourth round of each of his three seasons so far, so it would be good to get a little cup run going? absolutely, and then it is important that liverpool win a trophy. have a brilliant team, exciting, scoring an incredible amount of goals. had a great game against manchester city not so long ago. four points clear in the premier league. champions league still going for them. so it is looking very, very good for liverpool, and a victory here tonight will take them into the next round, so yes, an important game for them. the video assistant referee has been used at eight ties across the weekend and will be used here tonight. still getting to grips with

it, they come english officials? there are some dodgy interpretations and it laments asians over the weekend. yes, it will take time to get used to. —— weekend. yes, it will take time to get used to. -- dodgy lamentations. there will be one or two issues, there will be no getting away from it. there was one at burnley when they nearly got to the penalty, taking the ball before the referee actually blew and decided to go against that, so we have to except that there are going to be issues in these games, but so long as they get these games, but so long as they get the big decisions and the major decisions right, it will be a good thing. allen, many thanks. on air from half past seven. alan shearer there. plenty more later in the programme. a club legend, steve ball will bejoining me. also, many tributes being paid tonight to a great of the club, bill slater. paletta get gets of the other sports news of the day. —— but let's get some of the other sports news of the

day. back to molineux surely, but we will start this section staying with football, and another incident of alleged racist abuse. there have been a number in the last few weeks, particularly involving fans, but this claim has been made by a player againstan this claim has been made by a player against an opponent. 0ur sports correspondent explains. the allegation has been made by tenee hector, who is a defenderfor totte n ha m tenee hector, who is a defenderfor tottenham ladies, who play in the second tier of women's football. —— renee hector. she made the claim yesterday after their win over sheffield united. she said: crucially, she did report this to the referee during the match, so it is included in the match report. the club, spurs, also reported separately to the fa, so they are investigating this. their intake of the team is looking into it. and sheffield united women have also said they are launching their own

investigation. so lots of people looking into this at the moment. how common is this, particularly between two players? it is rare. i am unable to think of another example of this allegation happening in the women's game. that is not to say that it hasn't happened before, it might just be because of the profile of women's football that we have not heard about it before. are we here in men's football allegations of abuse coming from the terraces, but in terms of one player accusing another, that is uncommon. i can think of a couple from last year. there was an allegation of a west brom player, jay rodriguez, who was accused of racially abusing a brighton player. that was found not proven by the fa. there was also an allegation made by england during the under 17 world cup at the same time, which was dismissed by the fifa. the allegation was that an english player was abused by a spanish player, but this was dropped because of lack of evidence. it is

not something that is looked into one regular basis. let's have a look at some of the other stories we have been covering. rahim diaz has completed his move from manchester city to real madrid for around £15 million. initially, the teenager said he had three options are deciding to leave city, where he only made 15 appearances, and they were 0re that. johanna konta has been for every second time that the sydney international tournament, with a neck injury. —— has withdrawn. she retired from qualifying match before given a spot in the main draws a lucky loser, did not play earlier today. the australian open starts in just a week. maurizio lupi arriva benet has replaced as ferrari team principal after a series of driver errors derailed their formula 1 title chancesin derailed their formula 1 title chances in 2019. —— 2018. their former bosses taking over. wada experts have been given access toa wada experts have been given access to a russian lap to claim data that could lead to the prosecution of hundreds of drugs cheats. the

original deadline of new year's eve was missed, but an anti—dumping team will now be allowed into the moscow facility on wednesday. 0ur sports editor has been following the story. last year in september, wada decided to reinstate russia. they had had a suspension lasting several years. what a doping. there was much outcry from out there with athletes in the west end numbers of the antidote community who believe that wada should have remained tougher with russia, because they have not met to outstanding criteria. wada said we should let them back in on the strict condition that they hand over this lab data that will enable us to pursue cases against potentially hundreds if not thousands of russian cheats by the end of the year. the problem was that russia failed to deliver. they did not hand over their data on new year's eve, and therefore, there was another outcry from critics, who said this time, russia must be suspended again. what has happened now is thatjust ten days before wada's compliance panel

meets in montreal, the suggestion is, russia have now come back and said, your expert panel can come to moscow, we have overcome the problem that prevented us from giving you this information before the end of the year, we will now be in a position to hand over this crucial lab data. to be president of wada has said this could be a very important breakthrough. all those illustrious indian cricketers of the past could not do what this current team has managed today, winning a test series in australia. captain virat kohli says completing the 2—1victory australia. captain virat kohli says completing the 2—1 victory is his proudest ever moment. the fourth and final test was called off due to rain in sydney. it was india's first win in australia since they began touring down under as an independent country in 19117. batting legend such and tendulkar called it an amazing day for indian cricket. it is obviously a very proud moment. more so obviously a very proud moment. more so because, for the last 12 months, we understand what we have gone

through as a team. we understand the kind of cricket we have been able to play, and i wasjust mentioning kind of cricket we have been able to play, and i was just mentioning the fa ct play, and i was just mentioning the fact that after losing as well, they have been throughout the competition in the games we have lost, so we understood as a team we are on the right track, but the fact that the reward has come in the most historic series for indian cricket is a cherry on top of the cake. the nfl's wild card weekend is complete, and at the last moment of the four games, the most rheumatic. the defending champions the philadelphia eagles had an upset win over the chicago bears to go through to the next round of play—offs, the divisional round. it all hinged on the final play. the kicker had a 43 ya rd the final play. the kicker had a 43 yard field goal attempt that would have given chicago the win, and even though his first effort was good, the eagles called a timeoutjust before, so he had to have another go. this time, he hit the upright and the crossbar, and so his team lost. an excruciating moment. it

keeps the eagles live in defending their trophy, and ends the bears' season. season. who would be a kicker in the nfl?! with that, it is all done in sa lfo rd , with that, it is all done in salford, and now back to lee foster in wolverhampton for us. iam here i am here at a very chilly molineux. the wind is working through the open corner here. i know in the office somewhere you have got a chair in your name, and when you are really good at football and you are really established at the club, synonymous with a club, you get a whole stand, and that, over there, with a club, you get a whole stand, and that, overthere, is with a club, you get a whole stand, and that, over there, is the steve bull stand. just a few months ago, their record goal—scorer steve bull was also given the keys to the city of all ranting and made a freeman of the city. hejoins of all ranting and made a freeman of the city. he joins us now. of all ranting and made a freeman of the city. hejoins us now. could be a special night, this. are you feeling optimistic? it could be, yes. liverpool are a top—class side. they show that last time. they are classy and have great goal—scorers.

mosaad la has travelled, we saw him arrive, saadi manet, but we are expecting a very difficult liverpool tea m expecting a very difficult liverpool team this evening. —— mo s. do you think they will make as many changes. no, ithink no, i think tonight will be a good cup run. we have not had it for a long, long time. we beat liverpool last year in the cup, so we will see if we can do it tonight. got through to the fifth round, the quarterfinalists a fair few years before that. you got to the quarterfinals with them, didn't you? yes, that's about the only time, to be fair! we have always tried to get bullied, and the fa cup and other cuts have not been in our league. —— we have always tried to get up the league. what has south sudan here? in the top half of the table, taken points off the top six? —— what has santu

done here? brought a bit of spirit and leaving the club. i think there was a bit of a downer before he came, that he has stamped his mark, he knows what he wants, when he wa nts to he knows what he wants, when he wants to finish at the end of the season, and he wants a top ten finish. i have not got the wolves team yet, but this is the liverpool team. ninja lee, camacho, moreno, milner, navigator, jurgen klopp has been talking about him. jones, sturridge, and 0rigi, so a lot of changes as expected. there are, to be sure, and he wants a premier league title, thatis he wants a premier league title, that is what he wants. i don't think he will be worried about the fa cup. if they get fired betas to lie, they will capitalise us deliver on it, but he wants the league. that is why i think he is resting players tonight. that might be a bit of a gamble. wolves had that good run in december, three na row before a view sort of strange defeats. yes, we

started losing a few games, picked ourselves back up, and this is a great tie tonight for the fans, for the people, for the players as well. we have got a that result from the other week. and it will be a celebration of bill slater‘s life, one of the club legends, sadly passed away at the age of 91 just before christmas. it was the captain in 1960 the last time wolves the fa cup. three league titles as well. a real celebration tonight, and the manager says he wants the crowd to get behind it and then team to play in his honour. yes, he is up there with the legends, billy wright and all that. if he is saying, come on lads, let's do for him, let's do it. there will be a minute's pause before kick—off tonight.
