this is a jose mourinho manchester united and this could see the start of alexis sanchez‘s manchester united career as well. he has travelled with the squad. no tea m has travelled with the squad. no team news yet, but we expect him to be involved at some point. the kick—off is at five minutes to eight. let's bring in martin keown and three—time fa cup winner with arsenal. just talking about alexis sanchez. it could all start for him here tonight. who would have thought it would be at yeovil that he would have started for manchester united? they are paying him an enormous amount of money. i think the pitch will cut up a lot. we have got muggy feet here, it could cut up over there. there have been 49 matches on it already, the ladies were a team plays here. jose mourinho has only w011 plays here. jose mourinho has only won this competition once and he wa nts to won this competition once and he wants to win it again. i fear for yeovil a little bit, but who knows? there may be another giant—killing. you mentioned the money, alexis sanchez, and that is what everyone has been talking

7 the double against the manchester clubs!? youjust the double against the manchester clubs!? you just never know. tonight, bristol city have two attempt to answer a question that only one team has managed to answer. how do you defeat manchester city? undefeated in the league, flying. 15 clear. and still gunning for s i lve rwea r clear. and still gunning for silverwear on four fronts. how do bristol city approach this? the newcastle route? negative? crystal palace? nick a win? it isjust the first leg. this is what the manager, leejohnson, had first leg. this is what the manager, lee johnson, had to first leg. this is what the manager, leejohnson, had to say. first leg. this is what the manager, lee johnson, had to sayli first leg. this is what the manager, lee johnson, had to say. i have watched the games against manchester city, and instantly teams drop off and show fear. but we have created with their supporters and the competition, we can have a go. i am looking forward to it. it is going to bea looking forward to it. it is going to be a real battle on the pitch. i am sure

injanuary it out manchester cities so far, and even in january it out as manchester cities so far, and even injanuary it out as a past the blues. so for these sides, the top four is the prize but if arsenal miss out it will be down to defending. calum chambers‘s drifting mind let in alvaro morata, but he too lost his concentration. in attack arsenal have a more focused threat. when alexis sanchez is at his best to take something special to stop him. thibaut courtois needed to stop him. thibaut courtois needed to save the season. but arsenal would break down the belgian through one of their own. jack wilshere‘s finish felt decisive but this match was just warming up finish felt decisive but this match wasjust warming up and finish felt decisive but this match was just warming up and for the second match in a row, arsenal were pegged back by a penalty. eden hazard went down under the slightest contact. he got back up the score. he couldn't speak. that's the surgeon he couldn't speak. that's the surgeon felt all the more cruel when chelsea turned it down completely. marcos alonso thou

missed the chance to go above manchester united. tottenham hotspur, you can see how important that win is, it would take them level on points with liverpool. where it is really closes at the bottom. a win for west brom, though they are still in the relegation zone. swansea, 17 points, all the way up to newcastle in 14th, just six points separating them. you can see how important the late equaliser was for southampton. it is so close. all of these teams are still in trouble. just keeping a close eye on totte n ha m trouble. just keeping a close eye on tottenham against everton at

as we heard, leicester city proposing a package of £95 million to manchester city, manchester city not willing to spend more than £60 million. the tea m spend more than £60 million. the team is just arriving spend more than £60 million. the team isjust arriving here —— teams just arriving here ahead of the match with west brom. but riyad mahrez will be disappointed, having handed in that transfer request. we know he did not train with leicester city yesterday and had not travelled with his leicester team—mates for their match with evident to make. you might about the last transfer window on a deadline day back in august, riyad mahrez was in a paris airport waiting to push through a move away from leicester then. he wasn't with his team—mates again today, as he looked to potentially engineer a move away from the club, but it will not be happening today. and for a riyad mahrez, massively disappointing, because the likes of danny drinkwater and in the locality we re danny drinkwater and in the locality were allowed to lead following that incredible performance, the title winnin

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.

perhaps more good news for manchester united fans. manchester city have dropped their interest in signing arsenalforward city have dropped their interest in signing arsenal forward alexis sanchez. the club have decided the cost of pursuing the 29—year—old would be prohibitively expensive. it's understood the wages demanded by sanchez would have put him ahead of city's big he is earners, something the club decided they wouldn't do. the bbc understands chelsea are also interested in signing him. tributes have been paid to former west brom and england striker cyrille regis who died from a suspected heart attack last night. this was the scene outside the hawthorns, the ground where he made his name. he experienced racism from the terraces before winning five caps for england, west brom have described him as a pioneerfor caps for england, west brom have described him as a pioneer for black footballers. one of the most touching came from former leeds sheffield united and england forward brian dean. i think what people don't realise is w

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 thrilling season of top six meetings, this match was most extraordinary. wow! what a game, two teams, full throttle. it is possible that yesterday was a historic game, we wi

manchester is far from unique in this respect. but conditions here can only be described as epidemic. with strains like the one now said to be at large in manchester, it's hard to believe that more lives won't be destroyed before the situation is reversed. really keen to hear from you — if you've used spice or you're affected by people who do use it — has the legislation banning it worked? do get in touch in the usual ways. we have had a text message from carol who says she is a probation officer in london, she's not sure why it's trying comparisons to cannabis because it vastly different and has much more devastating effects. cannabis is a relatively safe d rug effects. cannabis is a relatively safe drug with minimum long—term effects on users compared to alcohol and spice. hence why cannabis has been realised in many american states. spice has horrendous effects causing temporary paralysis, heart problems and psychotic episodes. i have had clients in their 20s, says carol, who have had heart attacks after taking spice. i h

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

manchester city the giants no one wants to take on. there was clearly a n u pset no one wants to take on. there was clearly an upset at bournemouth. wigan won the cup five years ago and are now in the third tier. they led 2-0 are now in the third tier. they led 2—0 before things slipped away. bournemouth battled back to force a replay. extra games at this time of year can feel like a headache. the linesman at aston villa did a cover and so did the underdog. from one goal down, peterborough battled back to win 3—1. this was a january day for the blues in the cup and proof that the magic still matters. shrewsbury town against west ham united is live on bbc one. the early kick—off, the first match of the day, just 40 minutes away, newport cou nty day, just 40 minutes away, newport county against leeds united. it is on bbc one in wales. plans to create a new northern forest stretching from liverpool to hull have been announced by the government. it's providing £5.7 million to increase tree cover along a belt spanning manchester, lee

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. tributes have been pouring in across social media for the former england footballer cyrille regis, who died on monday at the age of 59. regis scored 112 goals for west bromwich albion. the centre forward was a pioneer for black footballers in the game and was subject to racist abuse from fans during the late 1970s. the former england forward gary linkeker said that cyrille regis was a tremendous striker and fine man whose legacy goes beyond the game, helping to pave a way for black footballers in this country. premier league record goalscorer alan shearer said one of his earliest memories was being in awe of regis when he went to west brom as a young trialist. and the former manchester united striker andrew cole called regis his hero and the reason why he started to play foot

judith moritz, bbc news, manchester. the government is being urged to bring contracts from the construction giant carillion into public control amid fears it could collapse. it's a major supplier to the government and has contracts in the rail industry — including building hs2 — in education, prisons and in the nhs. it's struggled since reporting half—year losses of over a billion pounds and a significant pension deficit. young women with a faulty gene who have gone on to develop breast cancer have the same chance of survival as those who do not have it. a study also found out what ever kind of treatment women had it does not change the statistics. diagnosed with breast cancer when she was just 35 years old and five months pregnant, laura faced childbirth and then cancer treatment. she carries a brca gene mutation and so, like many women in her position, she opted to have both breasts removed. i decided to have a double mastectomy. my oncologist was keen for me to have it and i was, as well, because i was told that

for a long time it seemed he would be going to manchester city. they came close to signing him last summer. that fell apart on transfer deadline day in august. well this generally the only problem seems to be that manchester city failed to reach agreement with arsenal and with alexis sanchez and that allowed manchester united, their deadly rivals, to come into their deadly rivals, to come into the picture and make an offer to alexis sanchez and potentially to arsenal but seems higher than city we re arsenal but seems higher than city were prepared to do. he also, city also seem to think chelsea are in contention to sign him but i do not think that is the case. antonio co nte think that is the case. antonio conte today suggested it was not. manchester united could either let henrik mkhitaryan go in the opposite direction in a straight swap deal with no cash involved or keep mkhitaryan and arsenal would receive strict cash. those are the options on the table. i think mkhitaryan, thatis on the table. i think mkhitaryan, that is looking more likely an

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

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

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,
