of the premier league. personally, i know that in life there is failure and there is a success and it belongs together. so, the club have to learn from the failure and things we did wrong this season. we have to learn and we are owner best way to solve it. i think the performance proved it, anyway. at the end, you have to go through all the details which happened this season and prepared to come back stronger. elsewhere, manchester city's ups of winning a history making four trophies in one season are still very much alive. they are now back on top of the premier league with a 2-0 on top of the premier league with a 2—0 win at fulham. the side made a faster starting this one. rinaldo oh bernardo silva got there first after just five minutes. —— bernardo silva. city now back above liverpool by one point. as for film, silva. city now back above liverpool by one point. as forfilm, they look almost certain to be relegated along with huddersfield. 16 points from safety with six games to go. of course, we had to start the game with high intensity and that is what we did for supper

really busy day of sport — and an important day in the premier league — huddersfield have been relegated, more on that in a minute... but we're starting with manchester city who are back on top of the table... they cruised past the struggling fulham who've now lost eight games in a row. city were clinical. bernardo silva opening the scoring within the first five minutes and sergio aguero making it 2—0 with a wonderful lift over the goalie... well worth watching on motd later. so fulham stay firmly in the relegation zone while city are top again — a point ahead of liverpool, who play tomorrow, and incredibly city are still on for the quadruple... you miss a little bit your pace, they are written in terms of the players here, it was the holidays and we had a different team in a different way to read and is different, but it was there in the effort, this game was tricky. it was 12:30 p:m., at the sunny day, you know, it's always different situations that are unusual and so i'm satisfied with the guys. so fulham in trouble, but still up. unlike huddersfiled, three points below them at th

richard askam with the latest from the bbc sports centre. we'll start with the premier league. the first of today's three matches is into the second half with watford hosting leicester city. it's brendan rodgers' first game in charge at leicester since his return to england following a record—breaking spell with celtic. today the former liverpool manager is back at another of his old clubs. but so far it hasn't been the return to the premier league that rodgers would have hoped for. leicester still trail to troy deeney‘s early goal at vicarage road. and with a few minutes in the second half gone, watford still lead by 1-0. we've got a couple of derbies to look forward to later on. new fulham caretaker manager scott parker will be hoping to inspire his side to an upturn in fortunes against west london neighbours chelsea. fulham are ten points from safety while chelsea are looking to keep up their push for a top four finish. and parker says he hopes to make an instant impact at craven cottage. i hope i can bring an energy over, i can transmit my passion, my passion to the team, and yea

, here's richard. good afternoon. the first of today's three premier league matches is underway, with leicester city travelling to watford. it's brendan rodgers' first game in charge at leicester since his return to england following a record—breaking spell with celtic. today the former liverpool manager is back at another of his old clubs. rodgers managed the hornets early in his career. and so far it hasn't been the return to the premier league that rodger‘s would have hoped for because leicester fell behind within just five minutes at vicarage road — troy deeney giving watford the lead. 1—0 after around 15 minutes. two derbies are coming up later. new fulham caretaker manager scott parker will be hoping to inspire his side to an upturn in fortunes against west london neighbours chelsea. fulham are ten points from safety. and after that liverpool have the chance to regain top spot when they take on everton in the merseyside derby. england have given themselves a great chance of winning the shebelieves cup after a thrilling draw against the usa. phil neville‘s side drew 2â€

premier league fixture to be played there in april, eight months later than planned. spurs were scheduled to move there in september towards the start of the season, but construction ran into delays. if brighton beat millwall in the fa cup on 17 march, crystal palace will be spurs' opponents on 3 april. if brighton are knocked out, it'll be they who line up against spurs on either the 6 or 7 april. as pep guardiola prepares his side to face watford tomorrow, the premier league have announced they're investigating manchester city for allegedly breaching financial fair play rules. yesterday, uefa said it, too, was looking into several alleged violations at the club. city claim the allegations are entirely false and manager pep guardiola insists the situation won't affect his team heading

of the premier league after an own goal by spurs and in half an hour, the travel show visits a theme park designed especially for children with special needs. good evening. as mps prepare to try and break the brexit deadlock at westminster, a senior government minister has said theresa may has to look closely at a softer brexit and staying in a customs union with the eu if parliament votes for that this week. thejustice secretary, david gauke, said that it wouldn't be sustainable for the government to ignore mps' wishes. tomorrow, the house of commons will once again vote on alternatives to mrs may's brexit deal — which has now been rejected three times. with the details here's our political correspondent, iain watson. shame on you! the original brexit date has been and gone and the protests carry on. give us all ourfinal say! this week, crucial decisions will have to be taken if mps are to avoid leaving with no deal by the new deadline of april the 12th. this morning, was the prime minister seeking divine intervention to break the deadlock? she's likely to resurrect her defe

investigated by the premier league for allegedly breaking rules over financial fair play. yesterday, euorpean football's governing body said they, too, would investigate the claims made by the german news magazine "der spiegel" over the value of their sponsorship deal with etihad airways. city have described the claims as "entirely false." last season, the club has done a lot, but hopefully, they can solve it as soon as possible. for this environment. are you concerned at all that your legacy at this football club will be tainted by the allegations and whatever uefa decide to do? no. absolutely not. well if you've never had a saturday night out in liverpool, i can highly recommend it — but for fans of liverpool — jurgen klopp wants you to watch tomorrow's match of the day — 10.20 bbc one, and get straight to bed. because he wants the best possible atmosphere in their midday premier league meeting with burnley on sunday. his side are one point behind leaders manchester city in the title race. i hope for our people because that will be very important. we spoke a lot about that.

it at millwall. premier league visitors know what they are about to walk into. for this quarter—final, the den was a freezing cauldron — even the weather designed for maximum discomfort. it took until the second half for the lions to strike. alex pearce escaped his handler. the roar must have carried to westminster. millwall are in very real danger of being relegated to the third tier. and yet here wasjed wallace, beating his man, putting it on a plate for aidan 0'brien. 2—0, 11 minutes left. pandemonium. brighton were going out with a shrug against a side a division below them. finally, jurgen locadia gave them a bit of gumption. but only one minute of the 90 remained, plus stoppage time, and we were deep into that when solly march took aim and somehow took this into extra time. david martin would surely have had a lot on his mind, right through to penalties. a chance, perhaps, to be a hero? no. lewis dunk‘s kick meant jake cooper had to score. brighton had gone from the brink to the semifinal. patrick gearey, bbc news. brighton's reward — a wembley date with manchester city.

premier league while pushing fulham closer to relegation. the premier league's early kick—off has been very one sided, and city took an early lead through bernardo silva. it is 2-0 it is 2—0 close to half—time. it is 2-0 close to half-time. sergio aguero with the second. it could have been more. it's ferrari dominating again in final practice for the bahrain grand prix. after their opening race disappointment in australia, they're been making up for that, so far in the middle east, with sebastien vettel and charles leclerc setting the pace in the final session before this afternoon's qualifying. some of you watching may currently be in training for the london marathon injust under a months time. among the elite runners on the day will be great britain's callum hawkins who'll be running his first marathon since he collapsed in exhaustion at the commonwealth games almost a year ago. he's been training at altitude in america and our 0lympic sports reporter david mcdaid has been to meet him. in the snow—covered hills of arizona, callum hawkins is clocking up arizona, callum hawk

ben. we start with the latest twist in the premier league title race. because . liverpool have slipped up — manchester city remain top. it's the first time that's happened since the start of december, when both of those teams have played the same number of games. jurgen klopp's side were held by everton in the merseyside derby, as parick gearey explains. you don't need to look back so far to a time is the major trophies were competed for these two clubs separated only by the park. the merseyside teams are in different places. liverpool have the title in their sites. mo salah zoomed in on the goal only for pickford to close the shutter. it summed upa pickford to close the shutter. it summed up a first half of unrewarded promise. roberto firmino was out of the picture and the liverpool attack lacked focus. origi winning the last derby but not this one. they sent on for meno but liverpool couldn't score. just when it seemed like red beanie was cued up, the defender intervened. everton had occasional bursts, hoping for a touch but it did not come but neither did a liverpool goal.

of the premier league season starts in an hour or so, and champions manchester city, are aiming to regain top spot, with victory at fulham, who are second from bottom. title rivals liverpool don't play until tomorrow. we are privileged to be in the position of still in all competitions at the beginning of april to fight for the title. it's an incredible experience, i don't know how many teams in premier league history have been in that position of fighting for the title. i don't know how many would in that position so we are going to try. fulham and manchester city is the first of the day's fixtures at craven cottage this lunchtime. then later on it could be goodbye huddersfield. they will be relegated in march, if they lose at crystal palace and burnley and southampton both win. i'm focusing on the future, of course, because we have to have a long term as a club with me as manager but still, it's about every weekend at the moment and this weekend at the moment and this weekend we're going to play the next opponent and we are going there to prepare ourselves for the next opponent a

city are still top of the premier league, after liverpool drew the merseyside derby with everton. it finished goalless, which means manchester city are a point clear with nine games remaining. and the two newest managers in the premier league lost their first games in charge. brendan rodgers' leicester were beaten 2—1 by watford, while scott parker's first game at fulham ended in defeat to chelsea. aberdeen and rangers will have to replay their scottish cup quarterfinal after today's tie ended in a draw at pittodrie. inverness are through to the semis — they beat dundee united. there's more on the bbc sport website, including a round—up of what's been a disappointing display from britain at the world track cycling championships in poland. but from me, that's all the sport. that's it. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel, but now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. hello. this is bbc news. the foreign secretary has expressed pessimism about the chances of peace in yemen on a visit to the country. jeremy hunt warned that a peace deal agreed in

yesterday, liverpool can move ahead of the champions in the premier league title race if they beat tottenham at anfield later. it's been 29 years since liverpool last won a league title. they remain unbeaten at home this season. both teams returning to action after the international break. the only period in the whole season without any interruptions is this one because now it's really until the final match day, go for it, and that is exactly the situation you want to have, that you are still fighting for a lot of things. we are fighting for two things so that's brilliant. we will do everything we can to be as successful as possible. they are unbeaten in premier league this season. it's going to be a massive challenge. in the same way, we respect them, they are doing a really good job. they are a very good team and it's going to be tough. celtic and rangers meet in the third old firm game of the season. a win for the champions would move them a step closer to an eighth straight league title, one which would surely see caretaker neil lennon handed thejob on a full—time basis. he's
