0:00:26 > 0:00:29which means there's the weekend to look forward to, but a whole load
0:00:29 > 0:00:34of footy action, too.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37And this week could see a mix of emotions for English teams
0:00:37 > 0:00:38on the European stage.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40And international action for the England women's team
0:00:40 > 0:00:41over there in America.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44So, lots to catch up on, plus all those coming
0:00:44 > 0:00:47up on today's show.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Ahead of the big lunchtime kick-off at Old Trafford,
0:00:49 > 0:00:53we ask these two Liverpool stars your questions, and find out
0:00:53 > 0:00:55who won the Top Tekkers vote between Martial and Firmino.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Millwall defender George Saville tells us about life
0:00:58 > 0:01:02in the championship.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06And there is the usual fantastic skills and pictures
0:01:06 > 0:01:07from you lot at home.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I can't wait for today's show, so let's get started
0:01:10 > 0:01:13with the big stories making the headlines this week.
0:01:13 > 0:01:19What a mistake this was.
0:01:19 > 0:01:26A Hemel Hempstead town player was sent off earlier this week
0:01:26 > 0:01:28A Hemel Hempstead Town player was sent off earlier this week
0:01:28 > 0:01:30after the ref mistook his name for dissent.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33When Sanchez Watt was asked his name by the referee, he replied "Watt",
0:01:33 > 0:01:35but the ref thought he was saying "What?"
0:01:35 > 0:01:37And sent him off for dissent.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Luckily, though, the card was rescinded when the situation
0:01:39 > 0:01:40was properly explained.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43England missed out on winning the She Believes Cup earlier this
0:01:43 > 0:01:45week, after a 1-0 defeat to the United States.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Phil Neville's Lionesses needed just one point against the hosts
0:01:47 > 0:01:49to clinch the tournament, but lost to Karen Bardsley's
0:01:49 > 0:01:57second-half own goal.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02And in the Europa League, Arsenal will take a two-goal lead
0:02:02 > 0:02:05back to the Emirates after earning a 2-0 win over AC Milan
0:02:05 > 0:02:06in their first leg game.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08And in the Champions League, Manchester City and Liverpool
0:02:08 > 0:02:16comfortably made it through to the quarterfinals.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19It was heartbreak, though, for Tottenham, as Juventus produced
0:02:19 > 0:02:22two goals in three second-half minutes to win 2-1 and knock them
0:02:22 > 0:02:23out of the competition.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Whilst the other team confirmed is European champions
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Real Madrid, who saw off PSG.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29So, congratulations to Liverpool and Manchester City owner but huge
0:02:29 > 0:02:37commiserations to all of you Spurs fans out there.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41So, congratulations to Liverpool and Manchester City,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43but huge commiserations to all of you Spurs fans out there.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45And sticking with stories hitting the headlines,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47our very own John Farnworth completed his toughest challenge
0:02:47 > 0:02:50to date this week by juggling a football all the way to base camp
0:02:50 > 0:02:52of the world's highest mountain.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Yes, John did nonstop keepy-uppies at an altitude of over 5,000m
0:02:54 > 0:02:55up Mount Everest.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Can you believe that?
0:02:56 > 0:03:00It was all to raise money for charity in memory of his grandad.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02So, John, from everyone here on Kickabout, huge congratulations
0:03:02 > 0:03:06on a truly incredible achievement.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09And if John's challenge has inspired you to work on your keepy-uppies,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11then why not send us a video?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14We love seeing you practising your skills and showing off your talents
0:03:14 > 0:03:15on the footy pitch.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Just head to the website for all of the details
0:03:17 > 0:03:18on how to get involved.
0:03:18 > 0:03:26Just like this lot have done.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29A little bit of snow hasn't stopped Arsenal fan Evan
0:03:29 > 0:03:32hitting top bins here.
0:03:32 > 0:03:40And your favourite player would have loved those skills, Evan.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44And your favourite player Ozil would have loved those skills, Evan.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Check this out for an overhead kick from Saints fan Owen
0:03:46 > 0:03:48against his sister Macey in nets.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Very nice.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50And another Southampton fan here.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53A cheeky little flick from Daisy to start and then
0:03:53 > 0:03:54a slick strike to finish.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56And your favourite strikers Sadio Mane and Nikita Parris
0:03:56 > 0:03:58would be very happy with that, Daisy.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00would be very happy with that, Daisy.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Check out Paris fan Lorcan here with these keepy-uppies.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Farnworth would be proud of this run.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05And a skill in the middle!
0:04:05 > 0:04:06And a quality finish, too.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Ollie is a keeper for Kirkham juniors under sevens.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10What a save!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12And finally, Chelsea fan Oscar in his wellies in the snow,
0:04:12 > 0:04:20with a lovely finish into the bottom corner.
0:04:25 > 0:04:32And Oscar will be hoping the Blues pick up three points in their game
0:04:32 > 0:04:33against the Eagles this weekend.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36There is a full round of Premier League fixtures to look forward to,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38and some tough tests for teams near the bottom.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41As well as that game, that is also a big test for Stoke
0:04:41 > 0:04:42against league leaders City.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45But Potters fans, take heart from the fact you have kept a clean
0:04:45 > 0:04:47sheet in three of the last seven Premier League
0:04:47 > 0:04:48games against the Blues.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Elsewhere, bottom of the table West Brom really, really need
0:04:51 > 0:04:53to pick up some points against Leicester, as they have
0:04:53 > 0:04:55lost their last five league games.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Ouch!
0:04:56 > 0:05:00But the standout tie this weekend has to be today's early kick-off
0:05:00 > 0:05:03between two of football's biggest rivals, Man United and Liverpool.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05This is the 170th league meeting between the two,
0:05:05 > 0:05:10and a win for Klopp's men would see them leapfrog United into second,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12something that Reds team-mates Dominic Solanke and Joel Matip
0:05:12 > 0:05:13will certainly be hoping for.
0:05:13 > 0:05:21Kickabout caught up with them before today's big game at Old Trafford
0:05:22 > 0:05:23to ask your questions.
0:05:23 > 0:05:29Hi, Dominic.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30My name is Jay.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I'm a really keen Liverpool fan, and I'm only nine years old.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I've been to Anfield a few times and I've watched you a few times.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38And my question is, you know Klopp gets really
0:05:38 > 0:05:41excited on the touchline, running up and down the pitch.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46Is it fun playing for him?
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Hi, Jay.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Yeah, playing under Jurgen is very exciting.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52He's a very emotional guy, as can see.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57As you can see on the TV, so it's really exciting to work with him.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Hi, Joel, I'm Logan.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02The biggest Liverpool fan ever.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07My question is, what is your biggest football achievement?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Hello.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14My biggest achievement up till now was the win of the German cup,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16because this was my first title I won.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Hi, Dominic.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18I'm Paul.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I'm such a big football fan and I love the way you play.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23But who's your favourite football team and why?
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Hi, Paul.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26My favourite team is, of course, Liverpool.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30As I'm playing here now and every time we play, we play to win,
0:06:30 > 0:06:34and I feel a lot of support here, so that's my favourite team.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35It's a decent looking corner kick.
0:06:35 > 0:06:41Van Dijk did it!
0:06:44 > 0:06:51Van Dijk did it!
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Liverpool are go again!
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Virgil van Dijk on debut.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55How exciting is it to play for Liverpool at the moment?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58It's really exciting to work and play for a big
0:06:58 > 0:06:59club like Liverpool.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02We know the stand and the fans support us, so it's a big honour
0:07:02 > 0:07:03to play, for every player.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Hi, Dominic, what the best stadium you've played at?
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Hi, Logan.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09My favourite stadium to play at is Wembley,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11as I made my England debut there, which was fantastic
0:07:11 > 0:07:14and also Anfield, coming out and playing at Anfield,
0:07:14 > 0:07:16the atmosphere is amazing.
0:07:16 > 0:07:24Thanks, guys.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30And sticking with the Reds and today's big north-west derby,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33that game was the focus of this week's Top Tekkers vote.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34We asked you to choose between Anthony Martial
0:07:34 > 0:07:35and Roberto Firmino.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37And loads of you have got involved.
0:07:37 > 0:07:58So, let's find out who got the most votes.
0:07:58 > 0:08:06Firmino puts Liverpool 1-0 up!
0:08:09 > 0:08:13What a, what a, what a finish.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15In towards Firmino instead!
0:08:15 > 0:08:22Fabulous finish from Firmino!
0:08:24 > 0:08:27And all you Liverpool fans will be hoping for more skills like that
0:08:27 > 0:08:31later today at Old Trafford.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Keep watching for some great goals from previous encounters
0:08:33 > 0:08:36at the end of the show, but before that, let's take a look
0:08:36 > 0:08:38at next week's Top Tekkers vote.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39With the FA Cup back next weekend,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43we want you to choose between these two legends of the competition.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Frank Lampard.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Oh, my word!
0:08:45 > 0:08:50Or Ryan Giggs.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52As usual, cast your vote on our website.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55You have until 9am on Wednesday the 14th of March, and we will
0:08:55 > 0:08:59reveal the winner next Saturday.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02As well as the FA Cup next weekend, there is also Premier League action,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04plus a full fixture schedule in the championship,
0:09:04 > 0:09:09where things are really hotting up in the battle for promotion.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12One team who are on a fantastic run right now are Millwall.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15They have gone ten games unbeaten, following a win
0:09:15 > 0:09:17against Hull earlier this week.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19And have moved within six points of the play-offs.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21And Kickabout reporter Kelly Anne caught up with one
0:09:21 > 0:09:24of their standout players and joint top scorer George Saville to find
0:09:24 > 0:09:27out what happens on a match day at The Den.
0:09:27 > 0:09:42Do you have a place that you really, really like, that you try to get
0:09:42 > 0:09:44to first before anyone else does?
0:09:44 > 0:09:45I sit over here.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Just this one here.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49And that's normally where I've been all season, to be honest,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52because you have your shirt kind of laid out, with your name
0:09:52 > 0:09:53and stuff like that.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55So everyone kind of knows where you are.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Does the manager give you any kind of motivational words?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00We go through the team and we go through the opposition's
0:10:00 > 0:10:02team and a few tactics.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05It's just more of the job on hand and what we've got to do
0:10:05 > 0:10:10to win the game, really.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12What's going through your head at this point?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Are you nervous, are you excited?
0:10:14 > 0:10:15For me, I'm excited.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17I get excited when we get in the tunnel.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20I'm just focused, I don't really take much interest in who I'm
0:10:20 > 0:10:21standing next to or who I'm playing.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24You might see a familiar face may be in the tunnel that
0:10:24 > 0:10:27you know or whatever, but as soon as you step on the pitch,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29it's kind of game time.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30You're on the pitch.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34You want to score a goal.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Who are you looking at, what are you analysing?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39How are you getting that ball into the net?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42If it's out wide, you look to time you run and you know it's coming in.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44It's kind of instinct for me, really.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46You just kind of go with it.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48You don't have that much time to think.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51You need a little bit of luck and hopefully, it drops your way.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Who are the centre midfielders that you would love
0:10:54 > 0:10:55to have a game against?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57This season, you look at Kevin De Bruyne,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59and the Man City midfield, because they're flying.
0:10:59 > 0:11:07I would like to play against the likes of Paul Pogba.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Tell me about the atmosphere in the game.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12When you come onto the pitch, when you're playing,
0:11:12 > 0:11:15are you aware of the fans and how loud they are?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17We've had a few home games this season where
0:11:17 > 0:11:18the atmosphere has been electric.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22All round the stadium, you can really hear it once we get going.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Without these fans, and people who come and watch,
0:11:24 > 0:11:31you don't really get that adrenaline rush, or it wouldn't be the same,
0:11:31 > 0:11:32I don't think, playing football.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I know you trained at Chelsea Academy.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Can you tell me what that was like?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I joined when I was about 12 years old.
0:11:40 > 0:11:48I was there for the best part of ten years.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Loved every minute of it.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Was there anyone there that really made a difference in your training
0:12:05 > 0:12:06and maybe inspired you?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09It was kind of the English core you looked at.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11The likes of Frank Lampard, John Terry, Ashley Cole.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Being English themselves, they really looked after us boys.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Everyone's journey is different.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17You could play at a Premier league side and stay at the top
0:12:17 > 0:12:19or you could start right at the bottom, non-league,
0:12:19 > 0:12:20playing Sunday league.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I wouldn't change my path at all.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I've enjoyed it, I'm enjoying it still now.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26And hopefully, there more good times to come,
0:12:26 > 0:12:27obviously with Millwall as well.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Thanks, Kelly Anne, and good luck to George and the rest of the team
0:12:31 > 0:12:33for the end of the season.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Now, sticking with top players, check out player of the week Martha
0:12:35 > 0:12:37in the first of our pictures from you lot at home.

0:12:42 > 0:12:43are hoping her favourite player Lukaku scores today
0:12:43 > 0:12:45against Liverpool.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Massive Man City fan Oliver loves watching his team,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50and saw them lift the EFL Cup against Arsenal earlier this month.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52His favourite player is Aguero, and he watches Kickabout
0:12:52 > 0:12:53every week before footy.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Nice one, Oliver.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Here is Spurs fan Archie getting ready to play for Goring Robins,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00where he is both striker and keeper.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Whoo!

0:13:12 > 0:13:14And here is Edward enjoying his first Southampton match,
0:13:14 > 0:13:15despite all the snow.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18He met Sammy Saint before the game, who told his dad off for having
0:13:18 > 0:13:20a Newcastle case on his phone.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21I love that.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23And finally, check this out for a great shopping trip.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Louie and Daisy bumped into Sadio Mane in the supermarket.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Daisy supports Everton and Louie Liverpool,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30so Mane made a cheeky joke to Daisy about it.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Next time I am out shopping, I hope that I bump into my favourite
0:13:33 > 0:13:34player, Captain Fantastic Mark Noble.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Nice one, you two.
