junior will battle it out in saudi arabia in a re—match — after the mexican stunned joshua to take three of his world titles injune. the undercard is already well underway at the diriyah arena just outside the capital riyadh. ade adedoyin is there for us. the weather is playing a bit of a factor as well quite make it rarely rains, an average of 17 days a year, but today it rained heavily all day. the good news is that the weather has changed. we think it has gone for the evening. it has been very interesting this evening, the build—up has been very different to the last time does seen many travelling fans here. there are lots of men here in traditional dear, in exco, perhaps women hereto, something you may not have seen five 01’ something you may not have seen five or ten years ago in saudi arabia. —— a mixed crowd. and expecting it to bea a mixed crowd. and expecting it to be a lively atmosphere if anything is to go by. much

has been made about the weight difference, over three stone difference between joshua and ruiz, what effect is that going to have on the fight because nicki going to have on the fight because nick i think that might well give you an indication of the strategy of both men are trying to apply. anthonyjoshua both men are trying to apply. anthony joshua cayman six both men are trying to apply. anthonyjoshua cayman six tonne 13, his latest in years. —— six stone 13. he looked very chiselled and muscular will step stepped on the scale. andy ruiz dinner came in 12 kilos lighter. that is a full case when you're going on an internationalflight abroad. it indicates he wants him was his will and anthonyjoshua. got caught in the head and never recovered from that. there is so much pressure tonight on anthony joshua. there's a lot at stake. what happens if

he loses again?m joshua. there's a lot at stake. what happens if he loses again? it would be hugely damaging for his career and his brand. we're talking about a quy and his brand. we're talking about a guy who at the start of the year, we we re guy who at the start of the year, we were saying was that there is a boxing and would carry the sport on his broad shoulders, but everything really stopped after that really surprising that in june really stopped after that really surprising that injune in new york. defeat would end his career, but it would be a long, long way back to get himself back in contention to challenge many titles and aviaries, will want to show that he is not a one—hit wonder. —— andy ruiz. he said that victory was life changing and he wants to maintain that lifestyle, so there is a lot of pressure on him and also on 00:05:39,1000 --> 00:05:40,366 anthony joshua because it is notjust fighting to regain his title, he is fighting to regain his title, he is fighting to regain his title, he is fighting to save his career. looking at the end as well, delhi and white is fighting. in the last 2a errors, we have found out that he has been cleared of any wrongdoing by uk anti—doping after a positive test earlier this year. he tested

positive for a banned substance in the lead up to that bout, a steroid, and he was then temporarily suspended well the sample was tested. yesterday it came back and said the amount in his sister was not robinson and singh, there was no evidence of any —— the amount in his system was not performance enhancing. the latter is now cleared. he has been in action, he has won tonight and he will be hoping to position himself to challenge for the happy with tighter ship. he was a mandatory challenger. he will be hoping to get himself backin he will be hoping to get himself back in that position to either fight ruiz or anthonyjoshua another in the future. i will put you under pressure now, who do you predict will be the victor in this rematch? i have change i

made a few times. i thought ruiz, then your show, then ruiz, then your show. i think i am leaning slightly towards anthony joshua because if it goes long into the sixth or seventh or eighth round, will he be able to carry that 20 stone frame comfortably? the fact that anthonyjoshua has come in right, i will favour him. give me a call right, i will favour him. give me a ca ll after right, i will favour him. give me a call after the third round. let me watch if you have the early exchanges and i will give you proper protection. i look forward to it. a lot easier to make predictions in hindsight. and you can listen to live commentary of the fight on bbc radio 5 live or via bbc sounds plus there will be text commentary on the bbc sport website and app. the main event is due to start around 9pm.

on to football, with a look at the rest of the days results with that and the rest in the premier league, here's rhia chohan. so a bad day for manchester city, but liverpool keep going? yes, after the 3pm kick—offs, liverpool have moved 11 points clear at the top of the premier league with a 3—0 win over bournemouth. alex oxlade—chamberlain, who was one of seven changes for the reds, started off the scoring. naby keita made it 2—0 before the break after mo salah set him up with a lovely backheel. and keita was sure to return the favour... he set up salah for liverpool's third goal. liverpool have now won 15 of 16 premier league games this season. but it was that clean sheet that jurgen klopp was happy about because it's liverpool's first in 1a games. it was, professionally, controlled, scoring wonderful goals. we did not wa nt to scoring wonderful goals. we did not want to do it of an exciting again, so had to really control the game.

it was not really that were insecure. last two players with an injury, doesn't help, it was pressure not a good day for bournemouth and we had to bring over the line. and the boys are now saying they must used word in the dressing room is a sheet, finally. and five goals have put tottenham up to fifth in the table after a victory over burnley. captain harry kane got the first after just seven minutes with a stunning strike outside the box. lucas moura with the second, but then a fantastic individual effort from heung min son... he ran amost the full length of the pitch to score their third. kane got his second and then moussa sissoko scored their fifth. it was goalless in the only other three o'clock kick—off today between the premier league's lowest—scoring teams watford and crystal palace. watford, who are without a home win this season, were being watched by new manager nigel pearson. they're six points from safety, so pearson will have a fair bit of work

ahead of him. now a team that knows about managerial changes — what a week it's been for everton. beaten 5—2 in the merseyside derby, they sacked manager marco silva just 2a hours later. former player duncan ferguson stepped up to take charge for today's visit of chelsea to goodison park and it went well! goals from dominic calvert lewin and richarleson gave ferguson, and some of the ball boys plenty of reasons to jump for joy as they won 3—1. adam wild was watching. at first glance, this did not appear a club in crisis. these were fans ready to welcome a hero at he moment they needed one most. commentator: duncan ferguson! cheering . there were few with a more fearsome reputation, for duncan ferguson, the toughness lies in the task ahead. his tenure may only be

temporary, but having saved the club with goals in the past, how he would love to play a part in saving them again. never shy of making an impact here, it was swift. richarleson heading them in front against chelsea within five minutes. if that b blue mood, after the break it was a dominic calvert lewin who caused the man now in control to those controls just very moment, even those too young to remember his legend swept up in the excitement. and excitement was curbed temporarily after they were provided a reminder that chelsea were still here. but any nerves were soon replaced by sheer jubilation, here. but any nerves were soon replaced by sheerjubilation, abbott and's modern day number nine with they moment theirfarmer and's modern day number nine with they moment their farmer number nine may never forget, and young ever toning at finding a hero.|j may never forget, and young ever toning at finding a hero. i think when you are leading a team and it is so important for the fans to get three points, you feel that much more responsible. it was really tense, it was a great feeling.

it was indescribable. i'm not looking too far ahead. was indescribable. i'm not looking too farahead. i'm here was indescribable. i'm not looking too far ahead. i'm here for everton as long as they want me to do this. undoubtedly a day that belong to everton and duncan ferguson. he has called this his dream job and there set out every bit the fairy tale. bbc news. something got into everton today... they made 37 tackles against chelsea. that 5 their most in a premier league game all decade. if we take a look at some of the reaction... so, for the time being,

the mood at goodison park has been lifted.“ i'm a manager going back to their old club and doing the business. that seems to be a theme this saturday. thank you joining us.“ was an intense match, but the manchester derby had one clear winner. two goals for united means defending champions manchester city are now 1a points behind leaders liverpool. there were reports that ole gunnar solskjaer‘s job as manchester united boss was under threat — but after victory over tottenham in midweek — tonight's 2—1win at the etihad stadium will have him and the club on cloud nine. lydia campbell has more... it is not a game for the faint—hearted. manchester city have won the league three times since manchester united have had their name on the trophy. this game means more thanjust name on the trophy. this game means more than just a league position. every decision any derby would be contested. this one are needed edge. they have missed for spot

kicks this season “— they have missed for spot kicks this season —— this one needed var. city could not handle the attack. when my chance was all it took and anthony marshall doubling the lead. city had their own penalty shout before half—time. var this time said no. with a champion's title bid fading, the frustration from the home fans was threatening to take over. one player being hit by a missile as he attempted to take a corner. finally getting back in the game, city set up getting back in the game, city set upa getting back in the game, city set up a grandstand finish. even six minutes of injury time was not enough and they now find themselves 14 enough and they now find themselves 1a points behind leaders liverpool. ollie and his side going a long way to silence the nosy

neighbours —— ole. some sad news to bring you now and it's been announced that the former aston villa manager ron saunders has died. saunders will be remembered as one of the most successful managers at villa, leading them to the league title and two league cups. the club confirmed his death, calling saunders "one of the club's greatest ever managers". he was 87. in the championship, leeds united have returned to the top of the table after a 2—nil victory over huddersfield in the west yorkshire derby. ezgjan alioski opened the scoring in the second half before pablo hernandez made the points safe with a headed effort with 12 minutes to go. leeds will stay top for now with west bromwich albion not playing until tomorrow. bristol city are up to fourth after a 2—1win at fulham. hull city came from behind to beat struggling stoke with jarrod bowen scoring twice. jonathan woodgate got the better of old teammate lee bowyer as middlesbrough beat charlton. sheffield wednesday are into the top six too after a 2—1win over brentford. wins elsewhere for blackburn,

cardiff, luton, qpr and birmingham. hearts have appointed daniel stendel as their new manager — with the club 10th in the scottish premiership. the german will take up the post on tuesday. his new side were beaten 1—0 on the field by motherwell — who have now climbed up to 3rd. chris long's first half effort helped them to their third straight win. st mirren are off the bottom after beating hamilton accies. martin boyle's double gave hibs a 3—nil win at home to aberdeen, who slip to fourth. livingston earned their first win since early october by beating kilmarnock 3—nil. the old firm derby is a match that seldom needs anything else to make it extra special, but the first piece of silverware is up for grabs in scotland — and that mightjust do it. celtic and rangers meet in the scottish league cup final tomorrow at hampden park. for rangers — it would be a first major trophy in eight years. for celtic boss neil lennon — it's the only competition he hasn't yet won in scotland.

it's not for me, but for the team and the players. if we win it, it ta kes and the players. if we win it, it takes another box for my career, which would be nice, but male focus is on the team. the players, you know, putting on —— my whole focus is on the team. our team selection will be different from what it was on wednesday night, maybe rangers will be the same. it is very difficult to predict how we derby is going to go because it has day. so, advantages, we had great experience of winning, great experience of playing here a lot, hopefully, hopefully that will stand us in stead in winning the game. let's turn our attention to rugby union now where the third round of pool matches are taking place in the european champions cup this weekend. northampton saints' director of rugby chris boyd said his side were given a reality check after they were thrashed 43—16 at home by last season's runners—up leinster. james burridge was

at franklin's gardens. this was quite a statement from leinster. seven tries against the premiership league leaders. it all started in those early minutes when james lowe capitalised from a mistake from garry ringrose aside. and they never took their foot off the gas, leinster, and discover their bonus point try early in the second half. they were suffocating in defence and dictated on the set piece, particularly any line—up, devin toner and james ryan had a fantastic 80 minutes. an injury to johnny sexton, he picked up a knee injury, and they will be monitoring that. these two sides granted all again next week in dublin. they differ not attempted to ponder and plenty for director of rugby at lei nster to plenty for director of rugby at leinster to be happy about. i spoke to him as well as northampton's...

even for the second half. northampton had as a couple of times where they just northampton had as a couple of times where theyjust didn't go that when a person a bit a plan for next week andi a person a bit a plan for next week and i think it's important that we have that mindset. a disappointing one. we knew it was going to be a te st one. we knew it was going to be a test match, physical, and i don't think we dealt with their physicality well enough in defence. never really seemed to get on the front foot and few inaccuracies, givena team front foot and few inaccuracies, given a team like that, if you give an inch, they will take e—mail. —— a mile. here's hoping they can qualify and get into the quarterfinals come january, leinster on this programme isa january, leinster on this programme is a look very, very impressive. munster have beaten champions sacarens10—3 at thomond park — the only try of the game was scored by ireland's peter o'mahony.

the win means munster sit top of pool 4 and sarries chances of making the knockout stages are slim. glasgow got a vital away win against french side la rochelle — as they also came from behind. kyle steyn scoring the winning try, — it finished 27—24. the sides meet again at scotstoun next weekend. ulster beat harlequins. ospreys were hammered by racing 92. also making the news on saturday... england have recalled james anderson for their upcoming four—test series in south africa. he missed most of the ashes and their tour of new zealand with a calf injury. wicketkeeperjonny bairstow has also been recalled, having been dropped after a poor summer with the bat. freya anderson has won her second gold medal at the european short course swimming championships. she won gold in the 200 metre freestyle and added a silver in the mixed freestyle relay too for her third medal of the meet. seven jockeys will miss the lucrative christmas and new year racing programmes after receiving bans for ignoring a flag—signal to stop a race
