he is a pivotal playerfor liverpool. he is thejoint he is a pivotal playerfor liverpool. he is the joint top scorer. in the three weeks he has been a way they have won only one game, and that was against plymouth argyle in the fa cup. and they've since been relegated from that competition. he is back. to show you how important he is for liverpool, they said a private jet to pick him up. he arrived later than expected because of red tape. but we understand he is keen to play, even though liverpool have not had enough time to assess his fitness. it has been a tough month for liverpool, a month to forget. they have lost three matches in a row at anfield. they will want that to stop. because another defeat to chelsea would probably ruined their hopes to challenge for the title. a difficult start of the year as patrick geary explains... commentator: this is unbelievable. things have gone down the drain for liverpool. realistically liverpool's last chance of silverware gone... all i can say is sorry. it was all going so well the liverpool until this, defeat to swansea at the bo

liverpool keep on piling up. the first semifinal jurgen klopp has lost in his career, this could be a defining week for liverpool, art of the league cup tonight, on saturday they play worlds here in the fa cup and jurgen klopp says if they lose to chelsea here the league leaders next tuesday night, they will be at the title as well. southampton, back to wembley. they have been there so rarely, only their second league cup final, the only trophy they have won is the fa cup back in 1976 and their opponents? man united. they are very likely opponents in the final next week. —— next month. hull will have something to say about that tomorrow but it is southampton‘s night tonight. celtic have gone 22 points clear at the top of the scottish premiership. they beat stjohnston 1—0 in the first game in the league since the winter break. dedryck boyata heading the goal in the 72nd minute. it means they have equalled their achievement from the season they won the european cup in 1966—67 — going 26 domestic games u

liverpool advance, fatal blow, a chance missed by divock origi. liverpooladvance, but they know they have been in a battle. 2-0, 3-0 would have been com pletely battle. 2-0, 3-0 would have been completely ok, i am fine with 1—0, i said we did not want to go to extra time, no penalty shoot. leaving plymouth, as nice as it is here, as early as possible, because the next game is waiting, so all good. early as possible, because the next game is waiting, so all goodlj think that over the two games we have done exceptionally well against liverpool, especially in the first after night, we created a number of good opportunities, and even in the half we hit the post as well. the players are very proud of their performance, and the supporters are as well. so derek adams rightly proud of his side here, but we had jurgen klopp talking about how the games have been coming thick and fast for liverpool, we know his priority is the premier league, but his young side have just about done thejob, his young side have just about done the job, liverpool still in thr

ade, i'm guessing liverpool will be happier with that point? yes because against the run of three defeats at anfield and more importantly they delivered the kind of performance jurgen klopp importantly they delivered the kind of performancejurgen klopp had been asking for with more passion and intensity. when you consider the months liverpool have hard, losing to the likes of swansea and southampton, to get one point off a chelsea side who have been in top form is a pretty decent result. let's hear from both form is a pretty decent result. let's hearfrom both managers now. we played good football, it was flue nt we played good football, it was fluent and aggressive, we were good organised, all of that stuff. you cannot create chance after chance against chelsea but you can keep them under pressure and that's what we did. i liked it a lot, i will performance, and i think the point is what we deserved at least. we have many opportunities to score the second goal. i'm pleased for the performance. it is not easy to play against liverpool and in thi

this is what liverpool looked like almost 500 years ago. - liverpool started off as a great port, really, so it's built its reputation on cargoes being imported and exported. we're also a great exporter of people. so many people, leaving europe, left liverpool on the way to the united states. - [nicole] in fact, liverpool was the home port of the most famous and tragic oceanliner of all time, the titanic, although its disastrous voyage actually began from the english port of southampton. about three decades after the titanic sank in 1912, liverpool had its own share of tragedy. - it has bad times, really. i mean, we were bombed to oblivion during the second world war. - [nicole] during what was called the battle of britain, the germans tried to bomb the british into surrendering, and because liverpool was an important seaport, it was a prime target. after the war, liverpool rebuilt, but it faced tough economic times. it lacked the glamour of london or the historic quaintness of towns like york. but liverpool had one thing that no other city in england had; for that matter, no other city

liverpool are yet to win in the league in 2017. struggling swansea had never won in the league at anfield, but llorente put them ahead. liverpool couldn't hang on. it is going to come to sigurdsson. swansea back in front! and holding on for a 3—2 win, paul clements‘s first as swansea manager. the liverpool slip—up presented manchester city, and tottenham, the chance to move clear of them. city looked on—course, when two mistakes allowed them to go two goals up, only for spurs to then score with their only two shots on target. gabrieljesus thwarted one with his first shot in a city shirt. one slight problem. it is not easy being a football manager, is it? oh, look at the agony!

the youngest everin eleven for liverpool. the youngest ever in liverpool's history i should say. liverpool fans will take heart from that that he is taking this seriously. last time out they did trouble liverpool. but there is a huge amount of excitement here. they have put in extra seats to cram in around 15,000 have put in extra seats to cram in around 15, 000 plymouth have put in extra seats to cram in around 15,000 plymouth fans. there isa around 15,000 plymouth fans. there is a hundred journalists from around the world, normally covering a plymouth game there is 12! it will be different to what limit are used to. i looked in the away dressing room and it is very cramped. jurgen klopp starting with coutinho and sturridge, they are needing match fitness after being out. plymouth, they're riding high in league two, play—off, sorry promotion contenders, unbeaten at home in five. we will hear from a moment from their manager, first the thoughts ofjurgen klopp. from their manager, first the thoughts ofjurgen klopp. the game will be different. not sure exactly. 14,000? supporters

liverpool were poor at st mary's. klopp will be thankful that they only lost 1—0 and of course that they have that second leg at anfield in a fortnight. drew savage reports. if you want to know how important a matches, they get the team sheets. 15 players who started tonight it didn't in the fa cup. neither side are taking a chance when 130 minutes from wembley. 0ne are taking a chance when 130 minutes from wembley. one of the kid then brought in byjurgen klopp criticised then filling a wee decide. foster was tested early on. after a slow start it southampton and the fresh legs of nathan redmond onside to beat an unconvincing liverpool defence. redmond had a second chance to beat the young german keen to hang onto his place in the liverpool line—up. better from liverpool in the second half but southampton continued to .net. cedric hasn't scored for them yet. this is perhaps why. the liverpool plan wasn't working. stretch to gain by southampton. 0n plan wasn't working. stretch to gain by southampton. on another not

but liverpool would not be rattled, and the chances kept on coming. theyjust couldn't be taken. at the other end a first shot on target for the visiting fans to cheer. time, it seemed, for the big guns. daniel sturridge was called for and those chances started to become a little more clean cut. still no end product. sturridge wasjoined by lallana and firmino, surely they would get over the line. plymouth stood their ground. just. a remarkable result for the league 2 side and it's liverpool fans who now face the long journey to the south—west. with the players they had playing for them today, they have all had first—team experience. yes, they had younger players, but they are at a club like liverpool for a reason, because they believe in their ability. but we had a very good defensive display and it was important we did that. we allowed liverpool the ball, but when we had the ball, we still created a couple of opportunities. i'm not frustrated. i knew before the game... actually, with the other line—up, it could have been exactly the same. it is not really likely but possib

ed thomas, bbc news, liverpool. that special report from liverpool by ed thomas on the marked increase in knife crime over the past three years. president trump is signing more executive orders. he says today is his big day on security and he's confirmed that he's taking action on one of his most prominent campaign promises, to build a wall along the us border with mexico. tonight mr trump said he expected construction to start within months and that planning was already underway. 0ur correspondent james cook reports from the us—mexico border. donald trump signature‘s pledge is now one step closer to reality, with a stroke of his pen, the new president ordered the construction of a great wall on the mexican border. it would begin, he said, within months. a nation without borders is not a nation. beginning today, the united states of america gets back control of its borders. we're going to get the bad ones out. the criminals and the drug deals and gangs and gang members and cartel leaders. the day is over when th

we matched liverpool's energy for a lot of the game and i think we deserved it. they had some opportunities and we made some good saves, but we had big chances as well. we had some big chances. well, plenty more fixtures in the english premier league on monday, and manchester city have taken advantage of that slip up by liverpool. the citizens just two points behind their rivals now. but they did have to do it the hard way against burnley at the etihad. manchester city winning 2—1 despite being a man short for almost an hour. brazilian midfielder fernandinho was sent off after just 32 minutes for a two—footed challenge on johan gudmundsson. but the hosts kept their cool, and thanks to goals from gael clichy and sergio aguero, they are now third. but even despite the nature of the win, city's manager was less than happy when he spoke to our reporter damianjohnson. we won against a lot of circumstances in a tough game and we are happy for that. the sending off — what was it your view of the red card for fernandinho? you are the journalist, not me. you're the

fourth tier side plymouth force an fa cup replay against premier league giants liverpool some messi magic rescues a late point for barcelona against villarreal. and grigor dimitrov warms up for the australian open by winning the brisbane international. thanks forjoining us. there are 67 places and a gulf in riches between them but fourth tier side plymouth argyle have forced an fa cup third round replay against liverpool, following sunday's goalless draw at anfield. with an average age ofjust 21, jurgen klopp fielded the youngest team in liverpool's history, making ten changes to his side. despite 80% possession, the reds were unable to crack plymouth‘s stubborn defence. it might not have been a classic for the neutrals but the result was worth the ten hour round trip for the travelling fans, who will now see their side host the seven—time winners at home park in south—west england later this month. frustrated. i knew before the game, actually. our line—up could have been exactly the same. it is not that way. but this is an important experience of these boys. i am happy about this

hello, i'm olly foster, these are our sportsday headlines tonight: liverpool slip up at sunderland as they cut the gap to chelsea byjust a point. manchester united are on the march — 6 in a row for them but they are still 6th. and mighty mike — van gerwen is world champion once again. good evening. the premier league has been almost non stop for the past week or so. six more matches today. second placed liverpool could have closed the gap on chelsea to 3 points, with a win at sunderland, but they could only draw. they twice took the lead through daniel sturridge and then sadio mane at the stadium of light but twice jermain defoe equalised from the penalty spot. they are still in the relegation zone butjust one point off saftey they are still in the relegation zone butjust one point off safety liverpool are still second but if chelsea beat spurs on wednesday they could stretch their lead to 8 points. you need a little bit of luck. i thought when you work so hard, maybe you deserve but maybe they deserved it. it does not feel too good, of course. it is a little bit of coincidence in

jurgen klopp looking unhappy like most liverpool fans. seven points behind chelsea. jurgen klopp from the bundesliga used to having winter breaks. he will always have christmas off, you do not get that in the premier league. they have played three league games this year so far with no wins. it's all about reaction, but in this moment that's not allowed. that it damaged us or whatever. but in this moment it should have and it has. it feels really bitter in this moment. of course, we analyse it, we always do. we analyse even the games we win. we will do the same, but i can already say that around the goals we defended really bad. today it was... the rest was not good enough to win the game. this team has been criticised when goals have gone in against them. confidence has gone down. they have just capitulated. but i've not seen that today. i saw the opposite. a team full of character. well organised. followed the plan absolutely how i asked them to do it. they deserved the victory, and it comes from the work we have done on the training fie

the big game was liverpool and manchester united, but the big surprise was everton and manchester city. everton beat city 4—0, pep guardiola's heaviest ever defeat in a league competition as a manager. ronald koeman‘s everton will be pleased as ademola lookman scored just minutes after coming on for his everton debut. romelu lukaku and kevin mirallas got the first two goals either side of half time, with another teenager, tom davies, getting the third on just his second league start. it's a fifth league defeat of the season for city, but who or what was at fault? it would be a huge mistake to blame one person as the reason why, but it's the first time we have conceded a lot of goals, it's never happened before. that's why i have to know the reason why. i'm so happy at manchester. of course i prefer to win than to lose, but i'm so happy, the way i'm trying to do things until my last day as best as possible to think or to achieve what i think is the best way to play. i think the second half was perfect in every aspect of football. the first half we controlled it, but they had some go

we matched liverpool's energy, and we deserved a draw today. we hung m, we deserved a draw today. we hung in, they had some opportunities, we made some good saves but we had some big chances as well. you need a little bit of luck, i thought, when you work so hard. but it doesn't feel too good of course, it's a little bit of coincidence in situations like this. manchester city have returned to third in the table after beating burnley 2—1 at the etihad stadium, but they played for an hour with ten men after having their captain fernandinho sent off in the first half for a reckless challenge. gael clichy and sergio aguero both scored in the space of four second half minutes to set up the victory. ben mee scrambled one back for burnley. despite the win, pep guardiola had what can only be described as an awkward exchange with the bbc‘s damianjohnson after the match. we won against a lot of circumstances and a tough game. the sending off, what was your view of the red card 7 sending off, what was your view of the red card? you are the journalist, not me. you don't seem that happy th

well, i think me and liverpool is always going to be an emotional pull. when emotion is involved, it is the way i am as a player, as i am as a person. but the decision to go in as a player and coach and the role and all it entails, i couldn't really make that decision on emotion, because i would have been doing it for the wrong reasons. i think the key to it is liverpool are prepared to help me an awful lot. they want to help me become a better coach or a better manager, you know, they welcome me with open arms, but at the same time i have got to commit to it and put a lot of hard work in to try and improve as well. it is almost definitely the match—up that most neutral tennis fans will be rooting for. now that roger federer has booked his place in the australian open final, it is up to rafa nadal tojoin him for what would be a ninth grand slam final contested by the pair. the spanish number nine seed, who won the title in 2009, is favourite to win his semi—final against bulgaria's grigor dimitrov, but isn't taking a win for granted. he isa he is a pl

we had to, we knew how good liverpool are. we knew what we had to do, we had a game plan, we counted really well. so it was one of those games where we needed to come on top. well the game at anfield was just the start of the drama in the fa cup today. non—league lincoln city have become just the eighth side to reach the fifth round of the competition in it's current format after they beat championship leaders brighton 3—1. league two wycombe wanderers also came very close to a big upset at tottenham before eventually losing 4—3. patrick gearey reports. in the roman city of lincoln you can see the oldest of club competitions in its primary colours, a non—league side playing one surely heading towards the premier league. to find fortune must sometimes rely on others misfortune. he lost his bearings comprehensively. this is unfamiliar territory for a man on loan at chelsea. they couldn't believe their luck but they didn't rely on that alone, the mixed adrenaline with a cool head theo robinson. and lincoln city for the fi

liverpool pa rs the shocks of the season. liverpool pars miserable month goes from bad to worse, kicked out of the certain major cup competition in the space of four days. of 4 arguably the biggest shock was at sincil bank, where non league lincoln knocked—out champinship leaders brighton. lincoln are on a roll, leading the national league and having seen off ipswich in the last round. but they had to come from behind today to beat brighton, 3—1 the final score, theo robinson with their 3rd goal. lincoln are now only the 8th non—league team in the past 70 years to reach the 5th round of the fa cup. there was a cracking game at white hart lane between tottenham and league two's wycombe wanderers. it looked like wycombe were going to record a famous win, with the score 3—2 until the 89th minute. but spurs came back with two late goals, their winner scored by sonne hoy—min in the 7th minute of injury time, to break wycombe's hearts and deny them a replay. 11—3 the final score. action from all the fa cup games is on o

it was important we did that, allows liverpool the ball. we have the ball we still created a couple of opportunities in the game. i'm not frustrated. i knew before the game, with the other line up it could have been exactly the same. it's not really likely, but possible. it is a very important experience for the boys and unhappy about this. i'm not sure it would have been the same experience with a victory. premier league leaders chelsea had no troubles against league one peterborough, running out 4—1 winners at stamford bridge. chelsea had 20 shots on goal in the first half alone. pedro was first to convert one after nathanial chalobah's initial effort was saved. belgium striker michy batshuayi doubled the lead two minutes before half time as peterborough left space at the back. into the second half, willian made it 3—n0, —— 3—0, much to the delight of his manager antonio conte. he'd not have been too pleased to seejohn terry sent off. conte has since said the club will consider appealing. peterborough made the numerical advantag
