the headlines tonight: manchester united crush your will‘s fa cup dream, when their fourth round tie 4—0. there has been no one—day whitewash for in which cricketers, beaten by australia in the fourth match in adelaide. and roger federer reaches a record seventh straight open far north, but who will get their name on the women's trophy? lots to get through to know. we start with football. it is the fourth round weekend. there were no upsets in somerset as manchester united and the new signing alexis sanchez come sought a 4—0 wind over yeovil. an evening of haves and have—nots. —— wind. alexis sanchez‘s weekly wage would wipe out yeovil‘s annual losses. the lowest ranked team left in the competition. it bitterly cold somerset night was properly not how jose mourinho which is to spend this 55th birthday, but there was the warmest of applause before kick—off to honourjimmy armfield, the format in which captain who died this week. yeovil lost to three years ago to united in the third round. alexis sanchez was brewed by the home fans at every turn, and at one stage print

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, liverpool have been defeated by strugglers swansea. look at the elation from the swansea bench here, hugging and embracing as if they have won the premier league.

it is talent like this that has persuaded manchester united to make alexis sanchez the best paid player in premier league history. the striker remarkably set to earn a report that half £1 million a week after his protracted transfer from arsenal was finally completed. more akin toa arsenal was finally completed. more akin to a movie trailer than a signing announcement, united howled at his arrival with a carefully orchestrated video on their social media tonight. the rest of the game left to marvel at a deal the like of which british football has never seen before. the money side of it is absolutely huge, it is absurd in some people's eyes. ourfootball absolutely huge, it is absurd in some people's eyes. our football is worth this? arsene wenger a couple of days ago said it would not be long before a player earns £1 million a week. with midfielder henrikh mkhitaryan heading to arsenal as part of eight swap deal, united may have avoided paying a tra nsfer united may have avoided paying a transfer fee for centres but with his agent reportedly pocketing £50 million, the full cost of the

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

with manchester united finding themselves so far behind manchester city in the race for the premier league title, you'd expectjose mourinho would be putting a lot of resources behind an fa cup run for this campaign. reading in the programme notes, jose mourinho said, we we re programme notes, jose mourinho said, we were unfortunate to leave at the quarterfinals last season and we will be taking it seriously this time. he said, we won two trophies in 2017 to add to the club's record, and we want to keep it going this year by winning more silverware. derby are riding high in the championship, second in the table. they have an aspiration of being involved in stadiums like this on a regular basis next season. i think tonight will be a good barometer to see if derby are equipped to compete against the big boys again. manchester united, who lost to bristol city we simply in the league cup, so they have already lost to a tea m cup, so they have already lost to a team from the lower leagues this season, you've got about 35 years to the last time manchester united were beaten twice in campaign by t

i have a plan, we give the manchester united tea m plan, we give the manchester united team this before they play and then we win.

they did that in the game before against manchester united. people that don't see bristol very often, they played very well. high pressing, passing game. they did very well in the trumpeter. the last five or six results have not been particularly spectacular. maybe their focus has switched to this game. but it is incredibly possible that they could overturn a deficit and win. manchester city will not put out a full strength team. it will be very strong indeed. we beat the invincible some arsenal, in 2004, with middlesbrough, because they put out a weakened side. everything is possible, there is music playing, the crowd buzzing, it could be an upset. sell-out crowd, 27,000, of flags ready to go. they would reach their first flags ready to go. they would reach theirfirst major cup flags ready to go. they would reach their first major cup final since 19 -- 19 09. and their first major cup final since 19 —— 19 09. and you can hear it all on bbc radio 5 live later. let's bring you up to date with some of the other sports headlines. inter milan

but they're still 15 points clear of second—paced manchester united at the top of the table. joe lynskey watched the match. this is the era of the super fixture, the games that define the best of the big six. stopping manchester city seems to take divine powers. liverpool had to do it without their superstar defender. but to pave the cracks in the back, the reds got on the front foot, oxlade—chamberlain got the breakthrough moment. the eighth minute would never settle this match. city rarely go behind, when they do, they respond. liverpool would return from the break with a more ruthless streak. they went back in front through roberto firmino, and when sadio mane increased the lead, this felt like their moment. they came unbeaten, but now city were unravelling. salah's precision put it beyond them. from invincible to vulnerable, but pep guardiola's side had a flourish, two goals in ten minutes made it a frantic finish. 30 without defeat, but this was one game too far. the blues will surely win the league still, but with such dominance, one defeat feels historic. in this thr

manchester united have come in for some criticism. how have the players felt about that? if we don't win or draw, it is or is going to be a problem. because we know how big is the club, how big are the players as well. and we just want to win. obviously we are very close to the first ones. now we have to focus on ourselves, keep winning, keep doing the job that we have done today, and hopefully it will be good. the job that we have done today, and hopefully it will be goodlj the job that we have done today, and hopefully it will be good. i think the boys were very good, and in this christmas period, we didn't... we never won a match, but we never lost one, andl never won a match, but we never lost one, and i think that shows the character of the players. the criticism is the criticism. liverpool extended their unbeaten run to 16 matches, after a last—gasp winner in a 2—1 win over burnley at turf moor. sadio mane had put the visitors ahead in the second half, before a goal from johann berg gudmundsson seemed to have secured the draw for burnley, three minutes from time
