are club world cup as well and liverpool a re clear club world cup as well and liverpool are clear favourites to win and they go home as world champions as well and there in this transposition, they will stay up this transposition, they will stay up late this evening to watch their second string play in the league cup quarterfinal against aston villa. james milner also said because the match here is not until quite late tomorrow evening they can have a lion so they will be staying up late to be cheering on their other team who play against aston villa. time to take a look at the other sports news stories making the headlines today. arsenal and everton play each other this weekend and could both have new managers in place by then. everton have made carlo ancelotti first choice to be their new boss after the italian was sacked by napoli last week. he won the premier league and the fa cup with chelsea in 2010. meanwhile arsenal are in talks to bring in former captain mikel arteta — who is currently pep guardiola's assistant at manchester city. guardiola has said he won't stand in arteta's way. w

now liverpool could relax. and remember salah's simple chances?ell, here was a virtually impossible opportunity, and of course... he's scored! that's incredible! the champions are through. wild west london, a big night for a young manager to display his vision, if he could see the pitch. frank lampard has made chelsea a youth club, trusting the likes of tammy abraham. abraham! chelsea had to beat lille and with azpilicueta's header it seemed settled, except that 2—0 became 2—1. let nerves a manager could do without. late nerves a manager could do without. but chelsea are through too. phew! joe wilson, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'mjohn watson, i'm john watson, the headlines tonight. sensational salah: liverpool beat salzburg to reach the last 16 of the champions league. chelsea join them, as four british teams reach the knockout stage. and we've seen some cheating scandals in sport. find out why patrick read is at the centre of the most recent one.

liverpool a lwa ys the smallest margins. liverpool always have an escape route.redible goalfor a always have an escape route. another incredible goal for a man who can manoeuvre out of any corner. i had of long flight, liverpool have a cushion. ben's moved over to the touchscreen with more on that match and the rest of the day's premier league games. 17 games this season for liverpool. 16 wins and i draw and when they take the lead at anfield, they seldom lose. in fact, you have to go back to october 2009 for the last time they led at home at half time and lost. that's a run of 99 games. that old cliche that the sign of a champion is the win whilst not at your best. liverpool weren't perfect today. not the prettiest of games is how jurgen klopp described it. we had to fight that is what we did, 85 minutes, he did some warming up exercises but the rest of the time he was fantastic. other than that, we have to fight for the result, that is what we did, and now we have three points. they'd have been watching on with glee in the red half of liverpool as second placed

defending champions liverpool will be just stop. defending champions liverpool will bejust a stop.ns liverpool will be just a few miles away across the spanish capital, as they take on athletic oh madrid, the first leg of which will take them back to the very stadium where they lifted the title last season, the wonder metropolitan anna, so it's another tough tie, but the reds will be competent, and their midfielder said as much on social media today. he posted... of course, liverpool beat totte n ha m posted... of course, liverpool beat tottenham and spain in that final last season, but the spurious, it's a trip over to germany where they face rb leipzig, those are tough assignments as well. leipzig is actually at the top of the bonus league right now, the first leg of that title will be in london at totte n ha m. that title will be in london at tottenham. for chelsea, it's another german team for them. they had to munich to face the five time champions. i tie that is certain to bring back plenty of memories for chelsea boss, frank lampard. he was, of course, part of that victoriou

at the top of the table though — well who can catch liverpool now. 20 points behind in fourth — as close to liverpool as they are to bottom side watford. sheffield united flying in fifth. could all be shaken up in sunday's games with wolves against tottenham and arsenal manchester city but even though we're not at christmas — it look like liverpool's title to lose. west brom have returned to the top of the championship after coming from behind to beat birmingham city. charlie austin's prolific form as a subsitute continued, coming off the bench to score twice in their 3—2 victory at st andrews. a fine finish for the first although some sloppy defending gifted him plenty of space to nod in the winner eight minutes later. leeds united could have returned to the top of the championship but despite having had a 3—0 lead against cardiff city, they ended up with a 3—3 draw. preston north end beat luton to move up to third. brentford were 1—0 winners over fulham at griffin park, sheffield wednesday had an impressive 4—0 win over nottingham forest. at the ot

it has been such a fantastic season for liverpool.h from jurgen klopp about what this means to liverpool, to him, and to his players, coming straight in the middle of what has been a fantastic season middle of what has been a fantastic season for them so far —— heard. middle of what has been a fantastic season for them so far —— heardm you had asked me beforehand if i think there should be a club world cup in the middle of our season, they would say no, that is my honest opinion. but we speak about this co nsta ntly, opinion. but we speak about this constantly, this kind of fixture, we are here so it is the most important opposition in the world forests at this moment. so here we are. so it is all about playing. and it be an even bigger tournament in the future? i don't know. as long as the end and start in different moments and we try to put in between league competitions, that is just the problem. jurgen klopp there saying it really isn't ideal. he doesn't wa nt it really isn't ideal. he doesn't want this to break their momentum a n

liverpool this season have been a i°y liverpool this season have been a joy to watch, but sometimes thereg route one. 3—1 liverpool. and then it was four. sadio mane this time with the finish. just when it was looking co mforta ble finish. just when it was looking comfortable again, richarlison got everton‘s second, but perhaps the lack of celebrations has it all. the game had may be blown itself out after a frantic first half, but one final attack made it five for liverpool for wijnaldum, and that is how it finished. one of the simplest merseyside derbies liverpool will face. they remain eight points clear at the top of the league and have perhaps dealt marco silva a fatal blow. jose mourinho returned to old trafford tonight for the first time since taking charge at tottenham. and for the first time since taking charge at tottenham — he tasted defeat. it was a man he knows all too well who earned manchester united a 2—1win, asjess softley reports. it is almost a year sincejose mourinho made his last appearance at old trafford and all eyes were focused on the dug out, but this was the mar

massive opportunity for liverpool to win theirfirst massive opportunity for liverpool to win their firsts 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 this tournament seriously. calling itself world champion sounds special. liverpool have not taken it seriously into thousand five. —— have not ta ken seriously into thousand five. —— have not taken seriously in the past. in 2005, we narrowly missed out with rafa benitez. i'm not saying the referee was ba

well, despite liverpool dominating the premier league it's manchester city who are favourites, with liverpool jane are down with odds of 20—to—1 — the same as tottenham. lots of british involvment. all five teams made it through to the last 32. and here are their ties. 2017 winners manchester united face belgian side club bruges. arsenal will play olympiakos while wolves face espanyol. and celtic were drawn against copenhagen while rangers come up against portuguese club braga. so all of the british sides will be fairly happy with those draws. no major banana skins there — however there is some really good quality in the competition this year... that's because the likes of inter milan, sevilla and ajax — semi—finalits in the champions league last year — are all in the competition — so there could be some big ties to come as the competition progresses. of, course you can see the entire draw on the bbc sport website. both competitions resume at the end of feburary — lots to look forward to, jane. chelsea manager emma hayes has apologised for calling

trent alexander—arnold from west derby liverpool, part of a team that our clu b liverpool, part of arld champions and they have taken a major step towards ruling england. i don't expect a game like this to be completely free run because they had to have so much quality and who knows, everyone knows what a season leicester is playing so far and how many problems they could cause us but today we we re very they could cause us but today we were very concentrated and we did a lot of things really good. especially then scoring the goals, which is absolutely nice and very important day for us. the penalty hurts us, and we are good players and very good players, we suffer them because they were able to move them because they were able to move the ball and then they are getting further to goals. the players gave everything. like i said, it is about a learning game for us, the physicality of the game and the power of the game. but credit to liverpool, they played well. elsewhere, mikel arteta could only manage a draw in his first game in charge of arsenal, while carlo ancelotti got his everto

but still 11 off leaders liverpool.he dugout, with the two new permanent managers watching on from the stands. everton announced carlo ancelotti as their new boss just an hour before kick off against arsenal, who themselves had confirmed mikel arteta as their new manager last night. in footballing terms though, the arrival of ancelotti was where the excitement ended, as adam wild reports. an early start. an hour before the lunch time kick off one arrival caught the eye. carlo ancelotti now adding the evertonjob caught the eye. carlo ancelotti now adding the everton job to caught the eye. carlo ancelotti now adding the evertonjob to his extraordinary cv. today, he was just here to watch. and he wasn‘t the only one. mikel arteta was here as the new arsenal manager. an opportunity to impress the new bosses, or so you would think. this everton‘s best chance in a first half lacking any real meaningful chances. arsenal similarly struggling to show their best. if either new manager was inspired by what they had seen, they were

part of the worlds you saw liverpool that got such a huge global. system might that probably get around 5000000 fans in the u.k. and around 300000000 globally. very much domestic from bikes but they of course a huge number of fans are from brazil 101-5000 fans inside. at that stadium they're not local for my girlfriends they are fans that have come by that long trip because this tournament means some sort of march to them there was a precursor to the club world cup called the intercontinental cup which had a huge huge sort of impact on brazilian football pele of course that argue the greatest player ever played the game for his side sound source they wanted a couple times in the sixty's for mango themselves wanted to $981.00 when they'd be liverpool so it means it means a huge amount for them at a time when many south american players go and play in the more lucrative european leagues this is a chance a big chance for the south american clubs and for brazilian clubs to reassert themselves on the global stage and as a consequence it means a lot to th

our liverpool favourites for then. our liverpool favourites for the final? everything to be successful. and their opponent tonight did exactly the same, so they fought really hard. we had problems before the game. we knew that we will have some problems in the game. it was clear as well. but i really think the boys did exceptionally well. manchester city are yet to agree compensation with arsenal that would allow the gunners to name mikel arteta as their new manager. arteta was at oxford this evening for city‘s carabao cup quarter—final win, but it is expected arsenal will be able to appoint him later this week. well, raheem sterling scored twice as holders manchester city saw off league one side oxford united to secure their place in the carabao cup semi—finals. and two other results tonight. manchester united saw off colchester at old trafford, while leicester beat everton 4—2 on penalties after the match ended 2—2. victory means leicester have reached the league cup semi—finals for the first time in 19 years. celtic moved five points clear at the top of t
