week ahead of furey versus wilder pa rt week ahead of furey versus wilder part two. evening, manchester city face west ham injust under an hour, this is the league match that was postponed ten days ago becasue of storm keera, they got special permission from uefa to play on a champions league night. last friday, the champions were informed by uefa that they were guilty of serious breaches of their financial fairplay regulations. a 25 million pound fine and thrown out of european compettion for two seasons, the club are appealing against and today we heard from the chief executive, ferran sorriano, who says they have provided irrefutable evidence that the claims are not true and the whole process
6:34 pm
is unfair and flawed. let‘s cross live to the etihad stadium, katie shanahan is there. katie, sorriano sasy this has nothing to do with pep guardiola, he‘s just focussed on the football and the nplayers are also calm, but it has to be hard, olly, what about the match tonight? bruce would impact that ben had on the team this evening. these are unsettling times for manchester city because they would not be playing champions league football for the next two seasons. now, guardiola has said to use this punishment as motivation. what is interesting is to see how these players respond to west ham tonight because there is talk that he squad could be absolutely dismantled if this ban goes ahead and there questions about
6:35 pm
his future before we even get into theissues his future before we even get into the issues of transfers in the appeal. former city player, to get his you on this. regardless of football, this get on with yourjob, do the right thing, train as usual. yes, you will be concerned because these guys want to play in the champions league and that is a given in this football cloud also does. but certain things happen along the way and hopefully now the football cloud as i have said today can try and fight this. but what about his future? there‘s still some questions as he was approached on the last year. on his several months ago, it looked like he was going eight of the cloud as far as he could. he said he is looking forward to the challenge next year and if the players do not come and you'll be looking for a real sort of recruitment drive this season, especially if you will have to work with what is god. there is still a
6:36 pm
good squad and a fantastic manager and the quotes, even in week two, but that on the next few weeks, will really find out when he is interviewed after the game. they will be able to stay up the season, they think about. but having one this premier league fixture for the last seven times and take office at 730 here at the stadium. manchester city face real madrid this time next week in the last 16 of the champions league, we saw liverpool lose their first leg to atletico last night, this evening tottenham are at home to rb leipzig, who have rocketed up the divisions in germany to challenge for the bundesliga title. joe lynskey has been having a closer look at this match,
6:37 pm
and a lot of spurs fans debating howjose mourinho will set them up tonight spurs are missing more than thirty of this season‘s goals from their squad tonight. this is after we found out yesterday that son broke his arm during the weekend‘s win at villa. he actually scored in the last minute of that match with the fractured bone, but he could be out for the rest of the season now, and spurs have already been without harry kane since new year‘s day. that leaves them with three fit strikers for this match: steven bergwijn, the dutch striker, who has played but never scored in the champions league before; lucas moura, who scored a hat—trick for spurs in that famous semi—final of this competition last season. but if they need options from the bench in this match the only there‘s only a teenager to turn to. this is troy parrott — who already has a single cap

for the republic of ireland and has shown glimpses of his potential in youth games. it is the sign of a depleted squad, but the spurs manager still thinks they can do something. iam not i am not going to give up and my opponents are thinking, wow, now is the time to beat them. i understand if they think that way. but we are going to give everything and i do not think it is going to be easy for them to play against us. well spurs opponents tonight have been called the most hated club in germany. right now red bull leipzig are second in the bundesliga — they could become the first team to stop bayern winning the title since 2012. but the clue‘s in the name when it comes to their controversy. red bull acquired and rebranded them as a fifth tier team eleven years —
6:39 pm
that‘s the equivalent of the conference — and the investment saw them rise up to the top of german football within just eight seasons. they finished third last season and this is the man who spurs will fear the most — timo werner — a striker who like most of leipzig‘s squad was bought young and cheap, none of their players tonight cost more than 20 million pounds. but that approach hasn‘t stopped their critics. red bull managed to evade rules about names and sponsorship by technically naming the club rasenballsport leizpig a decade ago. back then about 2,000 fans came to watch them — but now leipzig have tapped in to the east german market and get 40,000 at home games — you can see some of them here out in london this evening. it would be a remarkable story for them and their young manager
6:40 pm

6:42 pm
spreading personally, intend to represent your country in a world cup, it is amazing. an amazing honour it did not go the way that we wa nted honour it did not go the way that we wanted to but it was a huge learning curve 110w wanted to but it was a huge learning curve now is probably the highlight. it was unbelievable to see the crowd, the social media reactions, those most important thing, there are people talking about the women‘s world cup and hopefully that continues to be to keep the buzz going into the next olympics and the next world cup. with another goal! and the backflip for the best scorer in the world! i want to win trophies, that is why i am at chelsea. lost out in the final, a million times it feels like. that is like a million times it feels like. that is likea mirror million times it feels like. that is like a mirror because if you like chelsea did those extra few pieces to really become a title team and

6:45 pm
academy can be an extremely difficult thing to go through your growing up. it is differently that drop can affect b in e players compared to their white counterparts. what happens is they have no second plans, no other thing. there are other opportunities shown to them, but the self belief that they can do those opportunities is not there because. an online platform called rising bollards was set up and showcasing there‘s talent on social media. they know exactly what it is like for his players. he was at the academy from age night and said he sacrificed education for football at 18, he was dropped. and said he sacrificed education for football at 18, he was droppedm is important to get these boys off the streets, they live in deprived areas, something from very rough
