mega—rich manchester city have been the favourites to sign sanchez, but even they were scared off by the money involved. instead, united won the race for his signature, and they must now hope he is worth it. no wonder manchester united can splash the cash. they have just been named the world's richest club by accountancy firm deloitte. united have hung on to top spot after making a profit of $812 million last season. they have beaten real madrid into second place byjust over $2 million, the closest margin in the rich list‘s 21—year history. barcelona are third, with bundesliga giants bayern munich in fourth spot, and manchester city fifth. talking of manchester city, they might have missed out on signing alexis sanchez, but kevin de bruyne has signed a new deal which will keep him at the club until 2023. the playmaker's previous deal didn't expire until 2021, so the extension shows just how much they want to keep him. de bruyne has scored six goals and provided ten assists in the top flight this season. a week after inflicting manchester city's first defeat of the season, liverpo

will alexi sanchez move to manchester city? he has been told he can leave as long as arsenal find a replacement but city aren't willing to pay the price tagged and could let him go to rivals manchester united. if you wondered why arsenal were so keen to keep alexi sanchez, there is a reminder. an absolute beauty. that was unstoppable. and so it seems it is move away from arsenal. when you are on a shirt ——a on a short—term contract but i never questioned his professional attitude on the football pitch. he wants to win. but where will he go next? somewhere in england and somewhere in the north—west. the almostjoined manchester city for around £60 million. he is a man who likes to huack million. he is a man who likes to hijack a transfer. there is even been a suggestion that the poor may spend some of the money philip continued credit to their money with four sanchez. we are looking for a quy four sanchez. we are looking for a guy to take advantage of it. basically, i maintain what i said many times. nobody should stay h

a new year, no botherfor manchester city, as their march towards the title goes on. pep guardiola's team unbeaten in 13 months.

for manchester city, though, the dream of the quadruple, the four trophies, is still very much on them and tomorrow night they will find out just who they will face next month at wembley, will it be arsenal or will it be chelsea? that is perfectly poised at 0—0 from the first leg. over in spain, sevilla are through to the last four of the copa del rey after beating atletico madrid 3—1. it didn't take them long to take control of the game. sergio escudero's opening goal came after just 23 seconds! atletico quickly hit back through antoine griezmann before a ever banega penalty put the home side back in front. pablo sarabia's late strike completed a 5—2 aggregate win. it's eight years since sevilla last won the competition. real madrid have a 1—0 lead heading into their second leg quarterfinal with leganes. cristiano ronaldo made it to training on tuesday sporting a black eye. the ballon d'or winner doesn't look quite so pretty after being kicked in the face during real‘s 7—1 league win over deportivo. tiger woods will tee it up against four of the world's top seven golfers a

not much to celebrate for manchester city. it won't affect the league table. their winning run is at an end. happy new year, mike, by the way. i have seen you a couple of times already. it seemed hours ago when you first said happy new year. they were lose to losing at crystal palace who a few weeks ago were facing relegation worries. roy has lifted them. there is talk about whether manchester city can go the whole season without losing. there was late penalty drama in both of yesterday‘s premier league games. crystal palace missed a late one to snatch a win over leaders manchester city as their 18 match winning run, came to an end yesterday while west brom salvaged a point with a dubious penalty over arsenal. adam wild rounds up the action. the message from fans was clear enough. still, it is rather hard to imagine just how things could get any better for manchester city. never has a team been so far ahead at the end of the year. to their potential, well, there seems no end. but against crystal palace, this was a new year lacking celebration. gabrieljesus,

a new year, no botherfor manchester city, as their march towards the title goes on. pep guardiola's team unbeaten in 13 months. it all started very early for them tonight. raheem sterling scoring 39 seconds into the contest. sergio aguero made it three and that sealed the points, for sure. and only an andrei gray goal was a consolation for watford, who have lost six games in seven in the premier league. it has been easy, and at times too easy for manchester city tonight, casual. we played really good. we could have scored i don't know how many goals. after dropping two points we talked about what would be our reaction, because the big teams drop points not too much. and since the beginning we had a good performance and we won the game. totte n ha m tottenham haven't featured since the boxing day game and they have two matches in 48 hours, the first against swansea. torrential conditions hampered the play in the first half. tottenham scored through fernando fear fiorente and then dele alli scored as they return to fifth place. i think we dominated, and we tried to cre

manchester city seems to take divine powers. for liverpool, the best defence is to go on the front foot. this was alex 0xlade—chamberlain's breakthrough moment. the 8th minute would never settle this match, though. city rarely go behind. when they do, they beyond. but liverpool would return from the break with a more ruthless streak. they went back in front through roberto firmino and when mane increased the lead, this felt like their moment. commentator: you better believe it. they came unbeaten but city were unravelling. salah's precision put it beyond them, surely. pep guardiola's side did have one more flourish. two goals in ten minutes, made this a frantic finish. 30 without defeat but this was one game too far. the blues will surely win the league, still but such is their dominance, even one defeat feels historic. in this thrilling season of top six meetings, this match was most extraordinary. arsenal manager arsene wenger has said he's resigned to losing striker alexis sanchez to another club, possibly within the next 4

yes, really good wins for chelsea, arsenal, manchester city winning, manchester united winners as well and liverpool against swa nsea as well and liverpool against swansea on monday. what of the table, the game we did not mention, west ham against bournemouth, 1—1, two goals in two minutes, ryan fraser and have you hernandez. very big game for swansea on monday. stoke out of the relegation zone, 2-0, stoke out of the relegation zone, 2—0, paul lambert‘s first game in charge. thanks to john 2—0, paul lambert‘s first game in charge. thanks tojohn for his wonderful round—up as always. cardiff will look to maintain their push for automatic promotion with victory over sheffield wednesday in the late kick—off in the championship. victory and they will pull level with second placed derby who trail the league leaders wolves. at the moment the game is still goalless. sheffield wednesday had the best chance of the game so far when adam reach lasted over after jordan rhodes' effort was well saved. he should have done better. the initial saved by neil etheridge. that was just before

for him to have manchester city chasing him for months and then to go to manchester united, it has to go to manchester united, it has to be the money. the premier league 110w to be the money. the premier league now is all about manchester city, an outstanding team. for me i do not understand why he did not go to the best tea m understand why he did not go to the best team and manchester city are at the moment. what a night for yeovil. they had them here three years ago with louis van gaal, his first taste of the fa cup. but for them to see these best players in the land, it could be a special night. over the yea rs could be a special night. over the years yeovil town have had that giant—killing tied to their name. i do not think it will happen now in the modern—day game, such is the strength of manchester united. let's hope they give a good account of themselves. stay with us. the crowds are already coming in. the yeovil manager darren way was a stalwart in midfield, part of the yeovil team that got them into the football league for the first time in 15 yea rs league for the first

clearly, he wants to go to manchester city. we have known that all along. does thejesus injury forced their hand a little bit? we know that he wants to go to city, we know that he wants to go to city, we know that he wants to go to city, we know that pep likes him, the bid has beenin know that pep likes him, the bid has been in before. does that mean they have their chance of getting him because he is out for six or eight weeks? you can play champions league, fitting into the team immediately. from an arsenal point of view, do they try to keep him? if they lose him, they don't get the champions league. it is a tough call for arsenal. very good. we will have the commentary tonight, and mark chapman is here to present it. after tonight's match at the emirates there is one more game tomorrow night between tottenham and west ham that ends the busy premier league christmas schedule but there'll be no rest for the players and coaching staff as their attention turn towards the 3rd round of the fa cup this weekend. after last night's win over watford, manchester ci

never has a tea m for manchester city. never has a team been so far ahead at the end of the year. to the potential, there seems to be no end. against crystal palace, this was a new year lacking celebration. gabrieljesus injured, living in tears. it was his replacement, sergio aguero, that when the closest in the first—half but this was not the billions from manchester city that all have come to fear. victory would have equalled the european record. the target was straightforward. hitting it was seemingly less so. palace are side with names of their own. they had chances, with which they should have done better. ultimately, that is how this will be remembered. in the 90th minute, awarded a penalty. they were unable to see the unit with a bang, however. not quite the perfect end to 2017 for either side. 4—ball, new year's eve, as is so often the case, bit ofan year's eve, as is so often the case, bit of an anti—climax. elsewhere, a big day on the calendar of a different sort at west brom, arsene wenger took charge of arsenal for the 811 premier league game, new record. but the

but several alleged victims also played for clubs linked to manchester city. one alleged he was abused when aged between 11 and 13 more than 100 times after bennell introduced himself as a scout for the club. another claimed he was abused at bennell‘s house and on football tours, where horror movies would be played to soften up his victims. and one complainant, who threatened to report the abuse, said bennell told him that nobody would believe him and that, "i've got people playing professional football now that i've done these things to — you're nothing". the jury was told they would have to decide between bennell‘s version of events or believe the prosecution's case that he'd committed sexual offences on a large scale against very vulnerable lads. the trial continues. dan roan, bbc news, liverpool. the government reshufflecarried out by theresa may has resulted in more women and mps from ethnic minorities being appointed ministers. the prime minister said the changes meant the government would look more like the country it served and gave opportunities

will he or won't he move to premier league leaders manchester city? the chilean forward has been told he can leave as long as arsenal find a suitable replacement but city aren't willing to pay the £35 million plus price tag and could let him go to rivals manchester united. tim hague reports. if you wondered why arsenal were so keen to keep alexis sanchez... here's a reminder. sanchez has scored an absolute beauty! that was unstoppable. and so it seems is the chilean's move away from arsenal. people are always observing you with a microscope when you're on a short—term contract, but i never questioned his professional attitude when he's on the football pitch, sanchez wants to win. where will he go next? it seems that it will be somewhere in england and somewhere in the north—west. he almostjoined pep guardiola's manchester city the £60 million on the final day of the tra nsfer £60 million on the final day of the transfer window in the summer and city seems favourites again, but don't rule out manchester united, jose mourinho likes to hijack a tr

meanwhile, manchester united target alexis sanchez won't be joining rivals manchester city. the club have decided not to pursue their interest in signing the arsenal forward, as the 29—year—old would be too expensive, although united and now chelsea are in the running to sign the chile international. ryan giggs says he is so proud to be named as the new manager of the wales national team. the 44—year—old signed a four—year deal to replace chris coleman, who stepped down after wales failed to reach this year's world cup. giggs captained his country, and won 64 caps, but his only managerial experience so far was a brief spell in charge of manchester united when david moyes was sacked in 2014. i'm going to give it might all. like i've always done. when i played for my country, i give it my all. —— my all. and now is probably the proudest moment of my life, to lead the welsh nation into the next two the welsh nation into the next two the four years, obviously with the euros and the world cup. we haven't beenin euros and the world cup. we haven't been ina euros and

the gunners were 2-1 manchester city. the gunners were 2—1winners on the night of chelsea after the opening leg at stamford bridge failed to yield a goal and the bbc‘s in dennis was watching. arsene wenger hasn't won the league cup, only domestic cup he missing, but switching on the defence after half—time gave them control and they deservedly reached the final. pedro had a goal ruled out for offside but hazard scored and then minutes later monreal equalised. an element of good fortune for the winner with lacklustre‘s cutback took a ricochet and granite jacques reacted. it won't be could have wrapped it up but caballero made the save. chelsea, not filing on all cylinders, rarely looked like troubling arsenal. they made us work for it. i felt in the first half there were psychological and tactical reasons for us not expressing the quality of oui’ for us not expressing the quality of our game. we rectified that at half—time. at the end i would say that yes it was a deflected goal on the first and the second one

the premier league leaders manchester city are through but an injury to leroy sane took some of the shine off their 2—0 win at cardiff city. city manager pep guardiola thinks that officials need to do more to protect the players joe lynskey reports. the spirit of the fa cup has spread across south wales. last night newport made the headlines, now attention was on the capital, but cardiff faced no ordinary giant—killing — this is manchester city, and they strive for style. commentator: how clever was that! brilliantly thought out, and nobody in the cardiff city wall, in the cardiff city goal, in the cardiff city stadium, was expecting him to do that. but kevin de bruyne's quality was almost cancelled out by calamity city's keeper claudio bravo got lucky. it inspired the championship side to their best spell of the game, but with the premier league leaders trouble is always waiting. it is 2—0, raheem sterling headed it in, what a cross from silva onto the head of the smallest player on the field. sterling's stellar season goes on, moving onto 19 goals, and with players like him all

liverpool inflicted manchester city's first league defeat of the season last weekend. the latter though will attempt to resume their seemingly relentless march to the title against newcastle tomorrow. while second placed manchester united, heavily linked with the arsenal forward alexis sanchez this week, face burnley. and their goalkeeper, tom heaton is with us tonight. tom great to have you with us. he suffered a nasty dislocated shoulder playing for burnley in september. when is it you are likely to return to action? i'm hoping 6-8 weeks. it's been quite a journey so far, fourand a weeks. it's been quite a journey so far, four and a half months in. from an innocuous landing, i was naive to the damage but it was quite severe. thankfully i'm on my way back now on

and in the premier league manchester city's unbeaten run comes to an end in a seven—goal thriller at liverpool. good evening. the new conservative party chairman, brandon lewis, has told the bbc the government is doing everything it can to ensure the serial sex offender john worboys stays in prison. the former black cab driver was jailed in 2009 for drugging and sexually assaulting 12 women, but police believe he may have committed more than a hundred attacks. the government is considering seeking judicial review into the parole board's decision to release him. here's our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. he is known as the black cab rapist. john worboys is believed to have drugged and sexually assaulted more than 100 women. yet the parole board has decided that after ten years in custody, it is safe for him to be released, and he is due out by the end of the month. the government wants to stop that happening and is looking at the possibility of legal action. anybody out there will appreciate just how awful this must be for victims, to see what is happening. to think about some
