the champions manchester city at anfield. city have slipped down to fifth after their fourth league defeat in a row, and it's now seven games without a win in all competitions. our reporterjoe lynskey was at the match. well, we knew before the fixture just how significant the result would be here for both liverpool and manchester city. for the home side not just to win, but to do so so comfortably could represent a giant step for them in this title race. that lead for liverpool over manchester city is now 11 points. and though city tend to be slow starters, they've never come back from more than ten points back to win the premier league title. it is six defeats for manchester city, four defeats in a row in the premier league. there will have to be more soul searching for pep guardiola's team as they approach this busy period of fixtures starting

against nottingham forest at home on wednesday. what a start to life it has been for arne slot. the dutch manager came in in the summer looking to just make the necessary tweaks to take this liverpool to the next level. they have remarkably played 20 games and won 18 of them, and with this result, so far this season in europe they've beaten the champions of germany, they've beaten the champions of spain in real madrid just this week, and now most significantly, they have beaten manchester city. this result may now put them so far ahead that the english champions are knocked out of the title race all together. j°y joy lynn ski there. —— joe lynskey there. let's get more from anfield now, and get the thoughts of both managers starting with liverpool's arne slot. the performance was great because i think if you want to win against a team like city, you have to be good in every part of football. high defending, low defending, build—up, high, low. they bring so many challenges

to you and so many problems they can cause you. i think we weren't perfect, but we came quite close to managing it all. we cannot handle it by now, we have _ we cannot handle it by now, we have defined, i have to find a solution _ have defined, i have to find a solution to be stable, to be solid — solution to be stable, to be solid behind especially in the right— solid behind especially in the right moment and suffer together, so what can i say? these — together, so what can i say? these players give me the chance _ these players give me the chance to live may be the best years — chance to live may be the best years of— chance to live may be the best years of my life and only i can do it. — years of my life and only i can do it. find _ years of my life and only i can do it. find a _ years of my life and only i can do it, find a solution and then the right— do it, find a solution and then the right moment the club will take _ the right moment the club will take the — the right moment the club will take the decision what is needed, this club continue to be there _ ruben amorim has his first league win since taking over at manchester united, a comprehensive 4—0 thrashing of everton at old trafford. marcus rashford scored twice, as did joshua zirkzee. united are up to ninth, while everton remain just two points above the relegation zone. with the amount of time we had to train, it was a great effort

from the players, and i felt more than the team, the players could solve some problems that we have as a team by the quality we have. it was far from the perfect performance, i think it was a very good result. it was a really tough match. one thing, it is very unlike us to make— one thing, it is very unlike us to make that many mistakes. had a spate _ to make that many mistakes. had a spate of— to make that many mistakes. had a spate of the beginning of the season, — a spate of the beginning of the season, we corrected them, four considered — season, we corrected them, four considered and have come back today — considered and have come back today. has to be pushed aside quickly— today. has to be pushed aside quickly because is another one. enzo maresca's chelsea are joint second, level with arsenal on points, goal difference and goals scored, a very convincing 3—0 win over aston villa at stamford bridge. cole palmer put in an outstanding performance, setting up the first goal and scoring the third himself. villa, they haven't won in eight matches. their last victory was against bologna in the champions league in october. why shouldn't you be talked about as being in the title

race, just given where you are in the table right now? because we aren't ready for it, and the reason is there are teams like liverpool, city and arsenal, for different things, they are better than us. we have to accept how we are now. i facing what we have with them. of course, our expectation has been fight with them. i last year, we did, two years ago, we did, but this year. they are feeling comfortable and strong and better. - and we are a little bit under our result and expectation, i but keep going. one last result on sunday. it was 1—1 between spurs and fulham at the tottenham hotspur stadium. brennanjohnson gave spurs the lead early in the second half. tom cairney equalised for the visitors, but was sent off in the last ten minutes for a rash challenge on dejan kukusevski, but fulham hung on for a point. it is not like they

created loads, you know, and from my perspective, we are pretty thin on the ground at the moment, these boys are giving everything. they are dipping in to energy levels that many wouldn't. i can't ask much more of them. what a reaction every moment of the game — what a reaction every moment of the game. even the first three, four— the game. even the first three, four minutes, from tottenham, the reaction from tottenham created — the reaction from tottenham created some doubts in ourselves. the reaction was good — ourselves. the reaction was good as_ ourselves. the reaction was good. as you say, the reaction from _ good. as you say, the reaction from the — good. as you say, the reaction from the goal, they took control— from the goal, they took control of the game and push them — control of the game and push them back and you get creating chances. — them back and you get creating chances, and as you said, after the tactical— chances, and as you said, after the tactical change, fighting back, — the tactical change, fighting back, reshape the midfield as well— back, reshape the midfield as well and _ back, reshape the midfield as well and 50 minutes with the man, — well and 50 minutes with the man, they didn't create one chance _ there were two games in the scottish premiership, rangers won 1—0 away at stjohntone, but they are still 11 points behind leaders celtic and 7 behind second—placed aberdeen

who slipped up at bottom side hearts. it finished 1—1 at tynecastle. the fiorentina midfielder edoardo bove is being treated in intensive care after collapsing during their serie a match at home to inter milan. the 22—year—old on loan from roma fell to the ground in 16th minute with both sets of players immediately signalling for the medical staff and forming a protective ring around him before an ambulance took him to a hospital close to the stadium. the match, which was goalless, was abandoned shortly after the incident and will be replayed at a later date. world champion max verstappen won the penultimate race of the formula i season in qatar, his ninth victory this season. charles leclerc�*s second place saw ferrari cut mclaren's lead in the constuctors�* championshipt o 21 points, lando norris finished down in tenth after a penalty. nick parrott reports. winning his fourth world title last weekend hasn't sated max verstappen's

appetite for success. after being demoted to second on the grid in qualifying, he bounced back by taking the lead from the briton at the first corner. lando norris got a great start, moving up a place to second. while they kept it clean, chaos unfolded behind them with several collisions bringing out the safety car. things were shaken up again when bottas hit a wing mirror that had fallen off a car. lewis hamilton hit the debris and the safety car was back out. no sooner had they got under way again, perez spun out. the final twist saw lando norris sent to the pits for failing to serve a penalty. he fought back to finish tenth with the fastest lap. it doesn't matter now, does it? yeah... it doesn't matter. disappointed and i can only apologise to the team.

easy to win these events, it is extremely difficult. i have played williams a lot of times and have up short. to do it in the manner i have done it probably one of the hardest of all time doing this event, and to get over the line, i'm so proud of myself, and lucky to be in this position thanks to my family. a reminder of our top story. liverpool beating manchester city 2—0 in the premier league. that moves them nine points clear at the top of arsenal and chelsea. 11 points clear of manchester city. is there premier league reign over in december? a lot more reaction to that much and a lot more on the bbc sport website. from me, olly foster, goodbye for now.

hello. meteorologically speaking, sunday was the first day of winter. now, there were a number of showers around, but it was a pretty mild day. indeed, across wales, we had temperatures of 15.4 celsius recorded at both hawarden, in flintshire, and also in cardiff — those temperatures way above the december average. and those mild weather conditions were brought to us by these southwesterly winds, which are still across a good part of the country. however, look at this band of rain sinking south across scotland. behind that, we start to see the winds turn more to a northerly direction, and it's those northerly winds that, through monday, are going to push this zone of colder air southwards. so, it will feel much colder as we go through the day, across northern areas in particular. so, the rain starts today — southern scotland, pushes southwards across northern england, reaches north wales and the midlands through the afternoon. brighter conditions follow, but it will be gusty around irish sea and north sea coasts,

gusts of around a0 or 50mph. temperatures in england and wales about 8—11 degrees celsius, so still relatively mild. through the afternoon, it turns colder for scotland and northern ireland — temperatures here around 4—6 celsius. and then, that cold air surges southwards — monday night, a much colder night than we've been used to, with a widespread frost. so, a frosty and cold start to your day on tuesday, but with plenty of sunshine for most areas. however, band of rain is going to move in off the atlantic, so it turns wet in northern ireland, and eventually, the rain reaches western scotland as well. temperatures really struggle — 4—7 celsius — it will be a chilly day on tuesday for most. then tuesday night, the rain starts to turn to snow. that's especially the case in scotland, and especially for eastern areas. we could have some accumulations of snow, potentially bringing some localised disruption. but, ultimately, the snow will turn back to rain as milder air works its way in. and, as we head through wednesday, that milder weather pushes in from the west,

we'll have a lot of low cloud, some mist and fog. quite a murky—looking day, perhaps turning a bit brighter as we head into the afternoon for some. but it's another day with struggling temperatures, particularly for central and eastern areas. starts to turn a bit milder in the west. and then thursday and friday, areas of low pressure on the way could bring some very strong gusts of wind, but certainly will be bringing some pretty wet weather our way.
