was that —— for liverpool.pool fans saw him score right in front of them to build be sick of the sight of him because aguero has now scored in every home game against liverpool, seven games since he joined manchester city. as it was though it was leroy got the winning goal in the game. he has been involved in 26 goals and 25 home but are merely games. —— home per merely games. liverpool has conceded a goal this season and this is the ist of may have conceded two goals in a game since playing wes brown last april. and you can see that breached liverpool's extraordinary defensive record this season. the first time they've conceded two goals in a game since playing west brom in april. so this is what's next for these teams, and actually liverpool will be pretty confident of building some momentum again with this run of fixtures. they go to brighton next while city will have eyes on keeping tonight's momentum going up to those two home games against arsenal and chelsea. michael schumacher turns 50 today. but formul

wolves against liverpool. the league leaders liverpool have arrived here in the last 15 minutes. premier league by, of course. liverpool at the top of the table. they really have been the story in english football. they were here just a couple of weeks ago. it was a very wet friday night. liverpool won that. it was a very important match for them. it made sure they would be topped the for christmas. jurgen klopp has got some decisions to make over his team news. expect a much changed liverpool team from the one lost against manchester city just a few days ago. it is a 7:45pm kick—off, so we should have that tea m kick—off, so we should have that team news for you towards the end of the programme. alan shearer is going to bejoining me in the next couple of winners to look ahead to the match and look act at the weekend, what stories we have told you from some of those third—round ties. some of those lesser teams making it into tonight's fourth round draw. the fa cup has lost its magic. it is boring. nobody really cares about it any more. the tv money has ruined it. yeah, right! tel

thought city would be pushed harder this time by liverpool, but i am surprised liverpool find themselvese opportunity to win the title. i did not think city would drop that much. it is not a lot, but enough to open the door for liverpool. i didn't think liverpool had the consistency and the freakish solidity at the back to take advantage of that opportunity. it seems their stars might be lining on merseyside after a long time of waiting. 29 years to be exact. it is a match not to be missed. kick—off at eight o'clock tonight at the etihad stadium. also coming up in the programme: a new era in women's rugby as england's senior 15 turn fully professional. and why james haskell‘s struck upon a recipe for success in a busy year of rugby. but before that, today marks michael schumacher‘s 50th birthday. still little is known about the condition of the seven time formula one world champion follwing a skiing accident five years ago. he's not been seen in public since. ben croucher reports. notjust not just anybody could notjust anybody could define their era. notjust notjust anybody could define

i'll go with liverpool. i'll continue to go with liverpool.iverpool all the way, which you would expect because they are trying to retain the premier league, which hasn't been done for many years. you have to give them the credit for winning the game last night because they had to. but i'm going to go with liverpool, because there is a weight of expectation on them, they are under pressure, but i think liverpool can do it and i'll go with them because i tipped them at the start. i hope they can do it. it's been a 29 year wait — some have suggested tottenham have been overlooked in the title talk — their manager mauricio pochettino labelled his side intruders in the title race before defeat to wolves over the festive period. but city's victory leaves spurs two points behind the champions and six behind the league leaders. the real contenders are man city and liverpool. i think we are there because we deserve to be there, but we need to show more consistency to be there another season. if we are not able to be consistent the whole season maybe w

obviously, i am closer than anyone to liverpool, my former club.because newcastle united won, that is the main thing. but i do not want to offend the manchester city fans or the club. he was playing it straight for the gathered media but on social media there was less reserve, liverpool fa ns there was less reserve, liverpool fans tweeting their love for a man who led them to the champions get before twitter was invented. he missed out on the league trophy but the table shows what an opportunity liverpool have. if they beat leicester tonight they are seven points clear at the top. the pressure changes the higher you climb qualified years ago liverpool stumbled on the final ascent but now they have a manager who neither twelves on the personal worries about the future. at the moment it is unbelievably positive, only the shadow of negativity because people say maybe you will not do it at the end. we will see at the end, i never understand that you think about a real problem before you have it. tonight's opponent showed the way. in 2016 leicester were

her welcoming committee in liverpool.that party's put before country, absolutely disgraceful. i'm appalled by it, yes. because? because i think we are european and we should stay in europe. parliament can't agree. i think the only thing is to put it back to the people. she swept in with promises about the nhs. paid for, in part, she claims, by what's her bigger problem, brexit deal. this commitment is possible because of our strong public finances and because, as we leave the eu and take back control of our money, we will no longer be sending vast annual sums to brussels. number crunchers and plenty on her own side question that. before christmas, you realised your plan did not have the support to get through parliament. what evidence can you give us today that anything has really changed? yes, we did delay the vote before christmas and we are continuing to work on further assurances, on further undertakings, from the european union in relation to the concern that's been expressed by parliamentarians. but theresa may's be

just to recap, the wolves have put liverpool out of the fa cup, winning 2-0, the liverpool out of theimes, play manchester united at the emirates stadium, united second on the list, winning 12 times. you can get all the latest sports news at our website. that's bbc.com/sport. but from me, tulsen tollett, and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello there. northern parts of the uk on monday were particularly blustery. winds gusts in excess of 70 miles an hour for some. but i think its eastern areas that will see the strongest weather through the day ahead. the swirl of cloud, this area of low pressure, is responsible for that very windy weather in the north on monday. sliding its way eastwards towards scandinavia, but on its western flank we are still bringing in some strong winds, brisk northerly winds particularly close to those eastern coastal areas. the winds will feed one or two showers in towards the east of the uk at times through the day, but generally speaking, though, we are generally looking at a lot of dry weather. there will be some spells of sunshine, fairly large

so as we noted the best team in england the least three so liverpool so. yeah we can beat them so i know today nobody tries us nobody make one point for us i know that but it would it is over the top for i said my previous conference they are in for me the best team in europe and the way to play in eclipse is to see media control all the details in their game so what is it we chose for us alina we heard property all of their talk about the fact that his side beat liverpool five mil last season a but that's not all there is to it as a no no i mean look that was then and this is now has been made a major major changes because since that five nil when city have failed to be poor in the past four meetings in fact liverpool have won three of them and look it's no secret that peps toughest opponent is club i mean here's another fun fact that there's no other coach that pep has lost against as many times as he has against any club. or will two great teams two great coaches looking for to that matchup in the premier league tonight a limited talky from did a piece

i'll go with liverpool. i'll continue to go with liverpool.xpect because they are trying to retain the premier league which hasn't been done for many years. you have to give them the credit for winning the game last night because they had to. but i'm going to go with liverpool because there is a weight of expectation on them under pressure, but i think liverpool can do itand pressure, but i think liverpool can do it and i'll go with them because i tipped them at the start. i hope they can do it. well liverpool have been busy in the transfer marker today — selling striker dominic solanke to bournemouth for £19 million and also loaning out defender nathaniel clyne to bournemouth until the end of the season. the england right—back has struggled with injury and played only five games last season. the football association is asking people to come forward with information after an unnamed england player was reported to have been "kicked out of a nightclub for taking cocaine". the allegations were made in the sun newspaper. the fa can ban players fou

a liverpool fans podcast suggested that city had grown the grass to hinder liverpool's counterattacking. he's not a groundskeeper. the thing is as a manager, the better condition is for both teams. normally when this kind of happens at the end, i know it is to punish you. we have to do the best and we have to respect our game. i have a lot of issues to think about, and we put the better conditions for both teams. put the better conditions for both teams. stoke city have sacked manager gary rowett, only eight months after he took charge. they're mid—table in the championship and the final straw seems to have been the draw with league one side shrewsbury in the fa cup at the weekend. all members of his coaching staff have also left. stoke hope to make an appointment "as swiftly as possible" but it won't be former fulham boss slavisa jokanovic — he's turned down the opportunity of an interview. ireland's padraig harrington will captain europe's ryder cup team when they defend their title at whistling straights in the usa in 2020. the three time major winner was announced today as successor

they came to have a go at liverpool.er going a goal down very early on to sadio mane, very late on in the first half it was harry mcguire that levelled matters. there is one more talking point, should liverpool have had a penalty? it looks that way. liverpool, one. leicester city, one. it was difficult, for two reasons. the opponent of good organisation, very deep defending and the pitch, u nfortu nately, very deep defending and the pitch, unfortunately, the first time i have experienced snow in england, so that's pretty difficult. in the end you have to say that leicester did really well and, you know, it was a bit unlucky of course for us with the goal in the last second pretty much before half—time. you don't want to have that. you don't have to lose the ball there. and then they get the freekick. that is all true. but at the end, you have to take it like it is. elsewhere, chelsea missed the chance to close the gap on the top three. they were thrashed at bournemouth, wherejosh king scored twice in a 4—0 victory. south

can liverpool keep setting the pace in the premier league?lopp says the club are if great shape to fight for the title. progress is something everybody should expect, the club has a fantastic opportunity to bring outstanding player, keeping them. we will have the latest from the australian open as maria sharapova rolls back the years to knock out the defending champion. coming up, there has been an upset at the masters asjudd there has been an upset at the masters as judd trump—selby, there has been an upset at the masters asjudd trump—selby, he beats the world number one to reach the good evening, lots coming up in sportsday tonight as we mark your card for the weekend. we'll hear from jurgen klopp and ole gunnar solkjaer, but we're going to start with rugby union, it's the final round of matches in the european champions cup and tonight edinburgh can qualify for the quarterfinals, and that would be great news for glasgow too. last week edinburgh secured a brilliant win away at the french side toulon, so this is how the group looks going int

it started to go wrong for liverpool win the june lovren —— with this injury.f errors. that was as good as the first half got. it did not take long to improve on it. this, the best strike of the game, for all of four minutes. neves, might have a go, does have a 90, neves, might have a go, does have a go, and scores. it moved and it did. it had the dip, it had this worth, but it did not beat their wolverhampton woodwork, but close to an equaliser. liverpool sent on a couple of familiar faces and sent the goalkeeper forward in the dying minutes but the bolton of it at that far. this competition was probably not at the top of liverpool's twist this season, out is not with a bang but a whimper. it was a very good game for us. we did well. against a very good team. we played well. that is the way we want to play every game. sometimes it is difficult. but we showed again that we are a great group, a great squad and we can do very good things. we can play better than we did today. it is my responsibility. it looks sometimes like that but you expect more. second—half,

i—i it finished a reminder of our top story liverpool missing the opportunity to open upa liverpool missingd lester this evening, it started so well. sadly putting them in front of two minutes into the game, but harry mcguire got the equaliser, and now theyjust have a five—point lead over manchester city. another mini twist in that league. that's all from sportsday with me will perry. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political editor of the new statesman, stephen bush, and conservative commentator, tim montgomerie. could to see you both, thank you for coming. brexit for once hasn't swept all before it there's a mixed bag on the front pages. the guardian leads with a story about children as young as 12 possibly being hit with a new asbo style order, that could work to clamp down on knife crime. the telegraph says mps have backed their campaign to make web giants such as facebook and twitter have a duty of care over children who use their services. the mirror also leads on the story about so

and liverpool...just for the record, you got the score right, but the wrong way around. thank you for reminding me. i predicted 2—1 to liverpool, it was 2—1 to manchester city. they we re was 2—1 to manchester city. they were the better team on the night. understandably, one happy manager, one not so much. let's hearfrom them both. i don't remember a league so tough, with the amount of contenders fighting for the title. i think for the premier league, maybe you wouldn't agree, maybe for the premier league it would be good because everybody is close and every game would be a final. it doesn't feel really good, but it's not a massive thing, because this is the most difficult game of the season, away at city, away at tottenham, away at united, arsenal, most of them we have had now already, so, yeah, that's what it is. philosophicalfrom philosophical from jurgen philosophicalfrom jurgen klopp. let's speak with ian wright. thank you forjoining us. i assume you we re you forjoining us. i assume you were wat

liverpool needed half—time. with leroy sane scoring what proved to be the winner and killing wild celebrations among the home fans inside the etihad stadium. liverpool are now four points clear at the top. manchester city are breathing down their necks. it is a good night for tottenham who are still within touching distance. liverpool will still feel confident of going on to lift that monumental title they have been waiting 29 years for, but manchester city won't give up their crown without a fight in what is proving to be a thrilling season. thanks to david for that. you have been watching newsday. i'm nuala mcgovern in london. and i'm rico hizon in singapore. stay with us. we will be looking at what apple can do to recover after a terrible day's trading around the world. that is all for now. stay with us on bbc news world news. for now, goodbye. hello there. for most of us we are in the middle of what has been a really quite cloudy and cool run of weather and we have more of the centre on friday as well, with

katie, with city chasing liverpool down, they can't afford any slip—ups.g here will think about this game against wolves, at christmas they lost successive games to palace and leicester, it may be affected their confidence, but they have had a fantastic start to 2019, there have been ruthless in cup competitions, winning against rotherham and burton and then last time in the premier league they beat liverpool so they come into this with their tails up. wolves are no pushovers, having beaten tottenham and chelsea this season. they took points off city earlier this season. yes, they have a reputation for getting points, raising their game against big teams and they come into this having knocked liverpool out of the fa cup and they were the first tea m the fa cup and they were the first team to the fa cup and they were the first tea m to ta ke the fa cup and they were the first team to take points off city this season, they draw earlier in the season season, they draw earlier in the season after the controversial handball goal was allowed to stand so handball

i still feel liverpool habit their hands.it slip through their fingers the way the papers are treating it. we are also talking about the fa cup third round which is this weekend and some big ties. tranmere against tottenham is the first, tonight, but any other upsets you can see on the cards?” first, tonight, but any other upsets you can see on the cards? i will be doing the game between newport and leicester. newport have experience of getting through the third round, they beat leeds united last season and have beaten wrexham already this season. depending on what leicester do, if they rest players like they did in the league cup, i don't think they should, but i feel newport could give them a problem depending on what leicester team turns up. woking and watford will be tough. you have to be professional and your mind has to be right because these teams want to beat you, not only because of the prestige and stature that comes with you but these teams need that money, to sustain themselves and this is why i love it when teams

liverpool had chances to equalise, but ederson kept them at bay.he season. city showing why they're champions. the title race wide—open. we were not scary. we were in fear. no matter what happened, i know we felt we had a lot of pressure today, because we would have been almost out for the fight for the premier li. and now they are the leaders by four points. very intense game, very, very intense game. difficult for both sides. yeah, city held opposing balls in, we held opposing balls out, almost nearly end. that is how it is. yeah, not easy to take, but in the end it is normal, they scored two, we scored one. they had their chances, we had our moments, it was an outstanding chance and the two foot ball an outstanding chance and the two football teams had to fight like crazy. so they did. former england strikerjermain defoe is set to move to scotland to join rangers on an 18—month loan deal. the 36—year—old has made just four appearances as a substitute for bournemouth in the premier league this season. rangers' manager steven gerrard will hope def

manchester city have failed to win any of their last four meetings with liverpool.ight's game. in great tidal rivalries there are matches that turn the course of the season. the end of 2018 saw liverpool grasp control, tonight they go to manchester city, trying to pull away at the top. these are moderate managers with their own kind of mind games, the build—up to one of the premier league's rate matches has seen them come into each other. we have to be full of desire, angry again, all that stuff liking of the other games, we have to be that but with the knowledge that the opponent is for me still, the best in the world, that is it. they are the best team in europe in the way they play, consistency, with a control, the details of the game. it is great to play these kind of games, it is when i am more can and relaxed, i know the players are going to try and do the best performance they can do. but this city team have twitched and stuttered through december, they we re stuttered through december, they were defeated by crystal palace and leicester, liverpool surged thro

our reporter emily croydon is in liverpool...rt? absolutely, england made an incredibly impressive start to this series. they equalled the record victory against new zealand with that 13 goal margin. there was a lot of talk before the match about how much an improved outfit new zealand has been. in september, they got a new coach and new players, it was england who got confident and flew an on court. scratched away in a scintillating second—half. the first half was tight. it was goal for goal. very very tight through the first half, very intense. the one goal in england's favour in the break. an indication that tracy does not know the best side if it was spent. both end of the court working really well for england as they stretched away in the third quarter. in the final quarter, the england goal defence was removed from the court forfiling. did goal defence was removed from the court for filing. did before goal defence was removed from the court forfiling. did before — 41 win. a hugely good start. good quad series victory and mi
