city have been going through the biggest slump that pep guardiola has ever experienced in his managerial career and they are still in it, losing 2—1 to two late united goals at the etihad, the big talking point before kick off was amorim dropping marcus rashford and alejandro garnacho from the squad, no injuries or illness, just a selection issue he said, city had the best of the first half, with more efforts on goal, and they took a 1—0 lead into the break. kevin de bruyne�*s cross took a big deflection but found josko gvardiol, who planted his header past andre 0nana. united had a great chance to equalise in the second half, captain bruno fernandes beating the off—side trap, but chipping his effort narrowly wide. he had the chance to make ameands, when nunes gave aawy a penalty, with a wreckless foul on amad diallo, fernandes stepped up to equlaise from the spot. and not settlind for the draw, martinez picked out the run

from diallo who rounded ederson and hit what looks to be the winner from a tight angle, united up to twelfth with that win, city in fifth. will bring you some reaction to that if not in this programme but certainly in our half past seven sportsday. one other result so far in the premier league, crystal palace have pulled themselves further away from the relegation zone after a morale boosting 3—1 win at rivals brighton. it's a curious rivalry that was sparked by a cup tie between the two in the mid 70s, trevor chalobah put them ahead, stabbing home from close range in the first half, and ismaila sarr made it two by the break with a header at the far post, and sarr did well to steal possession and beat the keeper, brighton scored late on but palace deserved the win to move up to 15th, four points

clear of relegation now. brighton have dropped to ninth on goal difference. 0ur fans are always supporting us, especially with a very difficult start and many losses, not many points and they are always supporting us, they are always behind us and i said to the players before the game, today is an opportunity to give them a little bit back and maybe a christmas gift. and so we are, everything worked like we planned but you can't plan everything. if the players wouldn't have performed like they did today, it wouldn't have been possible so congrats and thanks to the players. whereina wherein a process with big changes— wherein a process with big changes and you know, we will admit — changes and you know, we will admit it's— changes and you know, we will admit it's not always linear, you — admit it's not always linear, you have _ admit it's not always linear, you have to accept this, keep focused — you have to accept this, keep focused on performances and hopefully results will come back —

across, the desire for people to look after players and not necessarily trace the money which we see in the headline figures throughout the year. and being a football agent at the top end of the game in england seems to be a lucrative business. in the 12 month period of up to february 2024, the premier league paid over for £400 million paid to agents. that's about three times the amount they spent on players over the full history of the third tier of english football. chelsea spent the most with 75 million, manchester city spent double their rivals manchester united. liverpool, arsenal and aston villa. there are millions being spent. and below�*s son nathan is a top scorer this season, he just passed his exam, too. teili

hello there. much of the country today had a fine and largely dry one, and it was milder than it was yesterday, despite the lack of sunshine. now this mild theme is here to stay, certainly for the first half of this upcoming week, but it will be dominated by low pressure, so it will be wet and windy at times, and then all areas will be turning colder from thursday onwards, with an increasing chance of wintry showers on hills in the north. at the moment though, we're in this wedge of milder air, rather cloudy skies because of a lot of moisture there. and on this boundary between the mild and colder air across northern scotland, we've got a weather front which is going to bring persistent rain, which will drive into the western highlands, rainfall totals really mounting up even as we head into monday as well. elsewhere, apart from some drizzle across western hills, it will be mostly dry. variable cloud and a mild night to come, so it starts mild on monday for all areas. we've got that rain still piling into the north and west of scotland, particularly the north—west highlands.

elsewhere, variable cloud, some sunshine, a bit of drizzle i think, across western hills, but mild again with temperatures into 10 to 13 celsius. but we've got some concerns of the amount of rain just falling across the north—west highlands by the end of monday into early tuesday. some of the worst affected areas could be up to 150mm, so that could cause some localised flooding and some travel disruption. but as we move into tuesday, that weather front eventually starts to shift northwards as we start to pick up a southerly wind thanks to a renewed area of low pressure. and again it will be a mild start to tuesday. here it is, a new area of low pressure, more isobars on the charts. this one's a bit more powerful than we've had over the weekend, so it looks like it'll be windier with gales around irish sea coasts. outbreaks of rain for northern ireland and into western scotland again, areas that really don't need any more rain. but i think the midlands eastwards are large parts of eastern england should stay dry all day on tuesday, but rather cloudy with limited sunshine. mild double figure values for most, wet, windy weather with gales spreads across the country during tuesday night.

another area of low pressure will arrive later on wednesday, but we're in between the weather systems for wednesday, so we should see quite a bit of dry weather across the northern half of the country with some sunshine. a few showers across western scotland and then we'll start to see wet and windy weather pushing up from the south across england, wales into northern ireland. given some sunshine we could be up to 15 degrees across eastern england. it does turn colder for the end of the week. wintry showers across northern hills. a bit of sunshine in the south.
