and we will also be keeping an eye and we'll also be keeping an eye on anfield, as leaders liverpoolt struggling everton in the merseyside derby. and we'll be live in saudi arabia. where antonyjoshua says he has no fear and is used to being the "challenger" ahead of his heavyweight re—match. with they built a brand—new stadium for antonyjoshua's rematch against andy ruiz, just a few nights away from what will be a defining fight injoshua's career. welcome to the programme. he's been the former england cricket captain and broadcaster bob willis has died at the age of 70. his family confirmed in the last few hours that he had passed away. he played 90 tests for his country, taking 325 wickets — leaving him fourth on the list of all time english wicket takers. he produced a brilliant performance. everyone refers to it as both from sashes, but he took a much needed eight wickets in the final innings in that famous match at headingley. willis also kept in england 18 times, and last year, he was named in graham's all time test team, which is voted for a english cricket fans. he became a po

in 2009, after the memorial service at anfield, the then culture minister andy burnham called for therough disaster. three years later, the hillsborough independent panel reported back with shocking conclusions about when the victims died. the families say that, for 23 years, they've never had the truth. do you now feel that that's changed for them and this is the truth? in the process of the panel's work, on more than one occasion the families have said to me that this is the first time that they feel they've ever been taken seriously and that anybody has ever really listened to them. if today says one thing to the world, we are vindicated in our search for the truth. despite the inquest coroner's insistence on a 3.15pm cut—off point for all those who died, the panel determined that 41 victims could have survived had they received timely medical treatment. indeed, the new evidence that we are presented with today makes clear in my view that these families have suffered a double injustice. prime minister david cameron apologised. home secretary theresa may ordered a new criminal inqui

very early days at anfield. just four minutes into not much happening just yet. it is goalless.ight points clear at the top of the table above leicester who are in action later. the reds will be feeling pretty buoyant after managerjuergen klopp signed a new contract extension yesterday which will keep him at the new club —— at the club until 202a. i think the club is in a good place and we have the chance still to develop. a lot of things, a lot of exciting things, coming up, obviously, with the new academy, with maybe a new stand and stuff like this, so it's still a lot to come and, yeah, but there will be cloudy days as well and you have to be there, and make decisions and, yeah, i really feel very responsible for all the things here. and you might call this a coincidence, but liverpool legend steven gerrard has also signed a contract extension as rangers manager. that'll keep him in charge until, you guessed it, 2024 — the same year as klopp. maybe a bit of succession planning there? gerrard had originally signed a four year deal when he was appointed in 2018. rangers have qu

salzburg gave them a major scare with a 3—goal comeback in the reverse fixture, those strikes at anfieldall chance the austrians team could win the group ahead ofjuergen klopp‘s side. this club has fought for so long to get to this stage in this moment and for us to be in position to potentially move on is something that we all hope for, but we didn't necessarily expect. and so in the moment my heart and my mind is with the people in the city and the people in this club and esteem. into malign are yet to secure their place in the last 16. a round of their group stage with a class at home against already qualified barcelona. the italians‘ task is quite simple, win and they would be guaranteed a spotin win and they would be guaranteed a spot in the knockout round. it‘s a more interesting scenario for dortmund, they are going well in the bundesliga, but the german side need to win ordraw bundesliga, but the german side need to win or draw with slavia prague and at the same time hope into malone will lose against barcelona, who haven‘t travelled with lionel messi. translation: there is defin

john murray was watching at anfield: a terrible scoreline, the first time they have hit five and a merseysideerby since 1982. everton couldn't cope with liverpool's movement as manchester united created the first two goals and starting for the first time this season, while michael keenan grabbed one back for the visitors, 4—1 before everton kept clinging on before halftime. stayed 4-2 clinging on before halftime. stayed 11—2 before everton was left in the relegation zone and the position of their manager precarious. scored wonderful goals, unbelievable goals, sensational passes. sensational pieces of football and a love that a lot. 3-1, pieces of football and a love that a lot. 3—1, not too good, but 4—1 brilliant, 4—2, absolutely not cool, because there were three minutes and two minutes were already off the clock, so we scored a wonderful fifth goal. all good. jose mourinho's unbeaten start as the new tottenham coach has come to an end, as his former side manchester united took all three points on his return to old trafford. marcus rasford scored both of united's goals including the winner

let's get a little bit more on the match from andy heaton from the anfield rap.n't it? a bit of a christmas warm up and liverpool can become world champions in the next 2a hours? a bit of warm weather training before the big week next week. no, it is fantastic. massive opportunity for liverpool to win theirfirst massive opportunity for liverpool to win their first world cup as it is known now. a little bit of revenge hopefully because flamengo famously beat liverpool and they are still singing about it now. you say they are still singing about it, they are literally still singing about it. they have a song about 1981, don't they? they do. but the sun is blazing and we're all having a good time. it isjust ramping up. people are trickling in. we have been here all week with the semifinal. you see more and you see more and more you see more and more familiar faces and it is fantastic. walking through the hotel lobby is like walking through the centre of liverpool. what does it mean to him at this tournament? british clubs in the past have been accused of not taking

into the premier league relegation zone and comes less than 2a hours after his side were humbled at anfieldthe merseyside derby. 0ur reporter katie shanahan has been outside everton‘s stadium this evening. probably known that this has been coming for quite some time as the result of gone from bad to worse, especially last night when every timber thrashed 5—2 against the rivals and marco silva just looks really deflated in the dugout and did not even acknowledge any of the tea m did not even acknowledge any of the team goals. that defeat has pushed everton into the relegation zone and recording their eighth defeat in 11 games, actually the first time in 20 yea rs games, actually the first time in 20 years that everton find themselves in the bottom three after 15 matches. edmonton, a cloud —— everton that is spent a lot of money, do not want to be fighting for a battle that will come at the end of the season. spending £450 million in the past three years to get eve rto n million in the past three years to get everton to play the champions league football. at the moment, they are way off that

first to anfield then, where liverpool remain unbeaten in the premier league, after a 5—2 thrashing ofjurgen klopp‘s side remain eight points clear at the top whilst for marco silva — life just got that little bit tougher as toffees are now stuck in the relegation zone. lydia campbell didn't miss a thing. commentator: ba rely barely a mile separates the homes of liverpool and everton but the clubs couldn't be further apart when it comes to fortunes on the pitch. liverpool are fighting for the title. everton are fighting for their manager'sjob. title. everton are fighting for their manager's job. form title. everton are fighting for their manager'sjob. form sometimes goes out the window in derby games, but sometimes it doesn't. divock origi taking just six minutes to open the scoring. and shakir remade it 2-0 open the scoring. and shakir remade it 2—0 soon after, suggesting a co mforta ble it 2—0 soon after, suggesting a comfortable night ahead for the title chasers. but if there was ever a game for everton to wake up from their slumber, this was the one, and michael keane was the man t

he was such a lonely figure last night at anfield.u have to look to the team and the tra nsfer you have to look to the team and the transfer policy at the club. i mean, why didn't they invest in the summer? why didn't they invest more heavily than they have done over the past 18 months? and you can't lay the blame for that on marco silva on his own. but at this point it is crunch point for him. they are not where they want to be on the table. he is the obvious person to take the blame for what is happening. the everton boss, marco silva, says his future is no longer in his hands after they were thumped 5—2 by liverpool in the merseyside derby. it is a result that puts everton into the bottom three, and it now looks to be a case of when, not if, silva gets the sack. they have some horrible games coming up, then next four games are chelsea, manchester united, lester and arsenal. it was always going to be a difficult game tonight, but the defeat now puts you in the bottom three. does that change anything for you and for your position the

what salzburg did at anfield.y well at the beginning, but then we opened the door for the game. they used it because they are talented, strong. jesse's doing an incrediblejob. so it's just a football game, like it always is. chelsea also have work to do. 0nly only by munich and tottenham have more champions league goals than them this season. watch out for the teenage sensation. they know a win tonight at home to lille will see them go through. but they could get away with a draw, if other results go their way. i was fortunate enough to have big nights as a player and they are the ones that stick in your mind. it is opportunity now for the team, particularly the young boys, to make a mark. ithink particularly the young boys, to make a mark. i think it is good, i like the pressure of this game being a knockout and we're all talking about that if we are going to do anything good here, we need lots of these nights. pakistan have continued to play international cricket but not at home after eight people were killed an

after surviving emergency talks a couple of weeks ago, the 5—2 defeat at anfield proved the final straw of saturday's game at home to chelsea. so here's silva's record as everton manager in the premier league — 19 wins, 23 losses, 11 draws. that's a win percentage of 35.9%. his points per game is lower than any everton boss since walter smith who was in charge between 1998 and 2002. he's also the first toffees manager to get the sack after a merseyside derby. if life was bad at everton, well it's not much fun at arsenal right now either. they've now gone nine matches without win — their worst run since march 1977 — after a 2—1 defeat at home to brighton. a rude awakening for caretaker boss freddie ljungberg. at bramall lane — an offside flag and var left sheffield united a bit frustrated against newcastle. lydia campbell has all the details. these are troubling times for arsenal football club. these are troubling times for arsenalfootball club. no these are troubling times for arsenal football club. no league wins since the start of october, maybe club legend freddie ljungberg could res

liverpool are 13 points clear at the top of the premier league after their 1—0 win over wolves at anfieldalking point with liverpool's goal initally not given due to a handball, only for that to be overturned by var. wolves also had a goal disallowed, this time for offside. on match of the day 2, ian wright and martin keown gave their thoughts on the technology. the problem is it is making too many people unhappy, to many people are not happy with what is going on, something has to be done with revealing how we are dealing with off site. var isjust revealing how we are dealing with off site. var is just doing revealing how we are dealing with off site. var isjust doing itsjob. would you take off site out of var? would you take off site out of var? would you take off site out of var? would you prefer to go back to human error and then we all go right, we're not going to hammer them for getting it wrong, that is human error. would you prefer to go back to that? i wouldn't want to go to it. i wouldn't mind. they have overruled 21 goals. we want right from wrong and it is that grey area. you
