:00:45. > :00:52.COMMENTATOR: What a lovely goal! Absolutely brilliant from Leicester
:00:53. > :00:54.City. Leicester City looked like a completely different team tonight.
:00:55. > :00:59.Crisis? What crisis? Good afternoon. This time last week we were talking
:01:00. > :01:02.about the sacking of Claudio Ranieri 48 hours later, the champions
:01:03. > :01:04.were looking like We'll be live at Leicester and we
:01:05. > :01:10.also have all this on the way: The Vardy party has left Jurgen
:01:11. > :01:17.with a mess to clean up. Against Leicester it was the worst
:01:18. > :01:19.game we played in the season. We have to deliver, to show a reaction.
:01:20. > :01:25.Hugo's boss between the sticks, we catch up with Spurs skipper.
:01:26. > :01:29.It's back to school with Brady and Hendrick.
:01:30. > :01:39.How many days old are you than Robbie? 14th of January, I'm 31st.
:01:40. > :01:40.How many days is that? Geez, you gave us a maths question.
:01:41. > :01:44.Reviewing the situation in Leipzig with Oliver Burke.
:01:45. > :01:47.And a couple of Hoops heroes remember the good times.
:01:48. > :01:55.Favourite goal, the one against Man United. You sent me off for it.
:01:56. > :01:58.Yeah. You played it incisively. And I still had a lot of work to do.
:01:59. > :02:00.And we've another pair of 90s heart throbs
:02:01. > :02:03.in the studio, in the shape of Danny Murphy and Dion Dublin.
:02:04. > :02:05.LAUGHTER Shocking.
:02:06. > :02:07.We'll start with Leicester, who, just days after ditching
:02:08. > :02:16.Claudio Ranieri, rediscovered the form that made them champions.
:02:17. > :02:21.This time last year, Leicester were three points clear at the top, now
:02:22. > :02:25.they are in the bottom three and without a manager. From the word go,
:02:26. > :02:30.you could see the intensity and passion was there. They tried to
:02:31. > :02:35.press us high up, so we thought, why not do exactly the same to them?
:02:36. > :02:39.Given away by Wijnaldum. Jamie Vardy clean through, great chance. You
:02:40. > :02:42.could see in my celebration, the frustration was getting that out
:02:43. > :02:49.because I haven't scored enough but hopefully now they will start to
:02:50. > :02:53.come. We need to help each other. It showed. Drinkwater! What a goal!
:02:54. > :02:59.Fantastic strike from Danny Drinkwater.
:03:00. > :03:07.Superb play. What a lovely goal! It's absolutely brilliant from
:03:08. > :03:13.Leicester City. Emre Can's done well. It's Coutinho. Liverpool are
:03:14. > :03:16.on the board. Claudio Ranieri's name echoes around the stadium as the
:03:17. > :03:22.Leicester City fans pay their respects. Leicester City three
:03:23. > :03:26.points in the ballad, they are out of the bottom three -- in the bag.
:03:27. > :03:29.The criticism has hurt but maybe they had a bit of extra fire in the
:03:30. > :03:33.belly because of that. We have been training but it wasn't clicking.
:03:34. > :03:35.Things haven't been falling for us as it did last year. Luckily tonight
:03:36. > :03:39.it has clicked together. We'll talk about Liverpool and hear
:03:40. > :03:41.from Mr Klopp a bit later, but it was very much
:03:42. > :03:50.Leicester's night. The 11 that was chosen by Craig
:03:51. > :03:56.Shakespeare, they played the majority of last season. It makes
:03:57. > :04:00.sense, with the success they had with that formation, everybody seems
:04:01. > :04:04.to know their jobs. More recently, they haven't. It was a positive
:04:05. > :04:07.performance. One they should now build on hopefully.
:04:08. > :04:14.Lots of people have talked about the statistics this week. They have
:04:15. > :04:17.gone! Here we are. They are back, thank you old girl, thank you for
:04:18. > :04:20.coming round. LAUGHTER They were running a lot more than we
:04:21. > :04:24.seen throughout the whole season and in terms of tackles, you can see the
:04:25. > :04:31.figures speak for themselves. The work rate was there. Leicester have
:04:32. > :04:35.got to do what the older people called the ugly things well. Do what
:04:36. > :04:40.you're good at, running round, work hard, have each other's back and
:04:41. > :04:44.that little sprinkling of quality from Vardy and Mahrez on the odd
:04:45. > :04:49.occasion and Okazaki, that will rear its head. But get the basics right,
:04:50. > :04:53.first. Looking back at the game, you saw a lot from Leicester which you
:04:54. > :04:59.liked. They did all the more Dion said. It looked like a team that had
:05:00. > :05:02.been let off a lead. Not deliberately, but they've been
:05:03. > :05:06.confused in their jobs in recent weeks. I've seen them play three at
:05:07. > :05:10.the back, four at the back, Diamond in midfield. They all knew their
:05:11. > :05:15.jobs on Monday night. Their old formation. There worried even
:05:16. > :05:18.thinking about it. Playing with freedom. When you are enjoying
:05:19. > :05:23.football playing in the position you want and you know your mates are
:05:24. > :05:26.behind you, talking to the same guy... They played together almost
:05:27. > :05:31.every game last season. There is a freedom and desire that they showed.
:05:32. > :05:38.This defendant, Dion is going to stop it, look at that. It's not
:05:39. > :05:40.great defending in some ways. It shows their intent. There is an
:05:41. > :05:45.argument from people saying where was this Leicester team in recent
:05:46. > :05:50.weeks for Ranieri? They haven't consciously tried harder on Monday
:05:51. > :05:54.night. Your body language changes, your mentality changes. Is it a
:05:55. > :06:00.release? It is a release. I'm assuming Craig Shakespeare has led
:06:01. > :06:03.to the lads, play with freedom, give me all you've got, go back to your
:06:04. > :06:09.old ways and don't worry about where you are on the pitch. Just do your
:06:10. > :06:13.job. It's like he's lifted the lid off a pressure cooker. What about
:06:14. > :06:17.Jamie Vardy? He got two of the goals. The sort of things he was
:06:18. > :06:21.doing right you looked at. Before I even play this clip, you can see
:06:22. > :06:29.Jamie Vardy buzz my body language. "I Want to score a goal and get into
:06:30. > :06:32.positions ". He wants to be in behind defences to create chances
:06:33. > :06:38.for himself. You can see the next one. On his way. Number nine, gone.
:06:39. > :06:42.He knows Albrighton is going to make his mind up, the midfield players.
:06:43. > :06:45.Dan played midfield. If a centre forward is going to make a run, you
:06:46. > :06:50.will try to find him. It is down to the forward. We already knew he was
:06:51. > :06:53.going to make that run. I don't know if you agree as a striker but
:06:54. > :07:00.Okazaki frees up Vardy for that space. Agreed. Watch this. Vardy is
:07:01. > :07:02.in the box. I will pause it at the right moment. Vardy is on the move.
:07:03. > :07:10.Here he is just here. He's got the run. He wants to score
:07:11. > :07:15.goals. He's being proactive, not waiting to see what happens but he
:07:16. > :07:19.just gets in front of Can. He gets a goal through sheer hard work.
:07:20. > :07:20.Amazing how things have changed. Leicester City are playing at home
:07:21. > :07:22.today. Leicester are at home
:07:23. > :07:29.to Hull this afternoon, Vote in full flow in the sunshine.
:07:30. > :07:35.Let's talk about the future of Leicester. -- your coat is in full
:07:36. > :07:39.flow. What is the latest on Roy Hodgson potentially taking over? It
:07:40. > :07:45.is premature and a contingency plan. Craig Shakespeare is in the
:07:46. > :07:48.spotlight. I met him this morning. He was getting here and he looked
:07:49. > :07:51.like a man who was really enjoying his job. Well turned out on a
:07:52. > :07:55.briefcase in hand. He looked as if he was going to do more business
:07:56. > :08:00.today. If he gets a second win in six days, I think it will be very
:08:01. > :08:03.difficult for the owners not to give him at least the chance to finish
:08:04. > :08:08.the season for Leicester. What they do after today, they are going to
:08:09. > :08:11.Dubai for a four day warm weather break this week. They don't play
:08:12. > :08:16.next weekend. Their next match is at home to Seville in the Champions
:08:17. > :08:19.League. As you know, they are only 2-1 down. If Craig Shakespeare could
:08:20. > :08:25.engineer a result in that game, I think he would certainly get the
:08:26. > :08:30.job. I also have a new slant on the Ranieri... Different slant on the
:08:31. > :08:34.Ranieri thing, Dan. My information, which hasn't come from Craig
:08:35. > :08:39.Shakespeare, I hasten to add, from sources here at Leicester is that
:08:40. > :08:43.Ranieri was on thin ice for at least six or seven weeks before he was
:08:44. > :08:47.sacked. The board had heard how confused the dressing room were by
:08:48. > :08:52.his changes in personnel and in formation. He had gone back to being
:08:53. > :08:55.the Tinker man. That had something to do, not everything, by the way,
:08:56. > :09:01.with how his players were underachieving. In a way, if the
:09:02. > :09:04.board wanted to be sentimental about it, they may have left that decision
:09:05. > :09:09.a few weeks longer than they otherwise would. Now then,
:09:10. > :09:14.Shakespeare, Dan, not Craig at the moment but what about the Bard? His
:09:15. > :09:18.namesake, William. He said four things in his plays that sums up
:09:19. > :09:22.Leicester's season perfectly. First of all, the Winter of discontent
:09:23. > :09:29.speaks for itself. Macbeth, off with his head. They were with Ranieri's
:09:30. > :09:34.in the end. The where the Ides of March. That month starts today. It
:09:35. > :09:38.can be tricky for football clubs everywhere, never mind Leicester. .
:09:39. > :09:41.What they are saying here is that the Shakespearean quote they would
:09:42. > :09:48.like to be repeating at the end of the season is "All 's well that ends
:09:49. > :09:54.well" was not forget King Lear, King Watson. Well done! Why didn't you
:09:55. > :10:02.come up with that? Outstanding. I've got to let the master do it. You
:10:03. > :10:06.have already said that you think he would be a good choice although some
:10:07. > :10:11.fans say they are unsure about Roy Hodgson. When he worked at Fulham
:10:12. > :10:15.with myself and at West Brom, he got those clubs punching above their
:10:16. > :10:19.weight. It would definitely make them well organised again. The
:10:20. > :10:25.players would suit playing on the break again. It would be a safe
:10:26. > :10:27.choice. Hull, the house of Mario, a massive game in addition to
:10:28. > :10:31.Leicester and they played some nice football under the new manager. They
:10:32. > :10:33.have. We spoke about this. Huddlestone is the captain at the
:10:34. > :10:38.moment and everything goes through him. He's been unbelievable. I think
:10:39. > :10:42.Hull have a great chance. Leicester may have turned it around with body
:10:43. > :10:46.language in terms of players but Hull have a big say in this game. I
:10:47. > :10:49.tried my best with house of Mary. Let's move on.
:10:50. > :10:50.As we've seen, a blue Monday for Liverpool,
:10:51. > :10:54.who now have won just two from 12 in all competitions this year.
:10:55. > :10:56.So plenty of questions for Juliette Ferrington to ask,
:10:57. > :11:06.Extremely pleasant on the eye from Liverpool.
:11:07. > :11:13.Blistering going forward. Perhaps not so hot at the back.
:11:14. > :11:19.Liverpool will wonder how they let this one slip away.
:11:20. > :11:29.I would so, how are you, but I'm trying to gauge your mood right now,
:11:30. > :11:33.how would you sum up your mood right now? First of all, you can ask how
:11:34. > :11:40.widely because most of the time when nobody expects a real answer. It's
:11:41. > :11:44.like, you OK? Yes. If you answer, not that good, it's probably
:11:45. > :11:49.surprising for most people. But I'm more than OK.
:11:50. > :11:53.It's absolutely brilliant from Leicester City. Finished off by
:11:54. > :11:59.Vardy. This has not gone according to plan at all from Liverpool's
:12:00. > :12:04.point of view. Against Leicester, I would -- would say it was the worst
:12:05. > :12:09.game we played this season unfortunately. But I'm 49, turning
:12:10. > :12:14.50 this year, and meanwhile I'm really not good in losing. But it's
:12:15. > :12:20.a situation. We have to take it. We have to learn off it and we have to
:12:21. > :12:27.change it, obviously. But the whole thing is, and was, always a project
:12:28. > :12:32.with a real target. Be as quick as possible, as successful as possible.
:12:33. > :12:36.And we are still on this way. 17 months, though, in, how much time do
:12:37. > :12:40.you give yourself to be successful? LAUGHTER
:12:41. > :12:44.About the problem. It's not that I would decide only about this. But
:12:45. > :12:52.I'm very, very positive. But how much time I can get for whatever,
:12:53. > :12:56.I've no idea. I'm in close talks, if your question leads in this
:12:57. > :13:02.direction, with our ownership. We are all fine. But, of course, we
:13:03. > :13:08.know we need to deliver and show development. We will, no doubt. Can
:13:09. > :13:11.you deliver this season, what would be successful now? What would be
:13:12. > :13:15.successful? Qualify for the Champions League would be a big
:13:16. > :13:18.success, 100%. Qualifying for the European league, I'm not sure I
:13:19. > :13:24.could sell it as a success but it would be OK. But, for this, we need
:13:25. > :13:28.to get more consistent and that's the job we know about. It's the
:13:29. > :13:32.thing we have to show. Everybody's future is at stake. Is that where
:13:33. > :13:35.these sort of talks are leading, in terms of you have transfer window is
:13:36. > :13:39.coming up, people talk about strengthening your squad. The whole
:13:40. > :13:44.year is squad planning. The one thing is, do you want to go for, the
:13:45. > :13:49.other thing is who you want to keep and all that stuff. That happens
:13:50. > :13:52.always. But it shows a lot at the moment how good they are. It not
:13:53. > :13:56.been consistent is really not nice to talk about because it means you
:13:57. > :14:01.are capable of really big things, but not every day, obviously. That's
:14:02. > :14:05.the thing we need to accept. And to work on it. Our people write about
:14:06. > :14:11.your defence? If we talk about offence, yes, we conceded goals
:14:12. > :14:14.because of different reasons. Did we concede too many? Absolutely. People
:14:15. > :14:20.spoke to me about single players. It was not because of single players.
:14:21. > :14:23.We had to change a lot, that's the truth. Especially in the centre-half
:14:24. > :14:32.positions. It seems like an excuse but it's only an explanation. Mane.
:14:33. > :14:35.Mane brushes Chambers aside. What a performance from Liverpool. Is
:14:36. > :14:39.Arsenal the perfect game for you to bounce back? LAUGHTER
:14:40. > :14:43.Hopefully, yeah. LAUGHTER If you're getting criticism right
:14:44. > :14:45.now and your team is getting criticism, Arsene Wenger has had
:14:46. > :14:52.criticism for the majority of the season. But that's our life. That's
:14:53. > :14:56.not a problem. In this situation, we have to think about how we can be at
:14:57. > :15:01.our best. In the Arsenal game. If we want to stay in this region of the
:15:02. > :15:06.table, we need to bounce back against Arsenal. That's how it is.
:15:07. > :15:09.It's not that we have a choice. The alternative is that, OK, now they've
:15:10. > :15:13.played really well until now against the big teams are now they don't
:15:14. > :15:16.even do this any more. We have no alternative. We have to deliver
:15:17. > :15:26.again to show a reaction. And hopefully we can.
:15:27. > :15:33.It is a very honest assessment. He says he knows Liverpool lack the
:15:34. > :15:39.strength and depth that perhaps some of the other title can contenders
:15:40. > :15:45.have. Is that what he has to address? In the transfer market,
:15:46. > :15:49.yes. Everywhere, really, to make them stronger. I was at the Chelsea
:15:50. > :15:56.game last week and they brought on Matic, Willian, Zouma, with John
:15:57. > :16:00.Terry still on the bench, it is a different world in terms of the
:16:01. > :16:06.strength in depth. The initial 11 has to be better. They are not
:16:07. > :16:11.playing anywhere near the beginning of the season. That is the first
:16:12. > :16:16.time we are questioning some of his tactics. Playing lookers at the back
:16:17. > :16:19.on Monday. Playing a high line. You cannot help but like him. He has
:16:20. > :16:28.been restricted in terms of the finances. I would not give it free
:16:29. > :16:37.reign that I hope he gets a good port and then we can judge him. --
:16:38. > :16:41.pot. Other managers may have been sacked through this run of games or
:16:42. > :16:47.performances. Because the standards are so high. The squad itself, the
:16:48. > :16:53.bench, the last bench from Liverpool, the worth of that was ?30
:16:54. > :17:02.million. Against Leicester? Yes, whereas Man Utd was ?100 million.
:17:03. > :17:05.Man Utd are going in the right direction and Jurgen Klopp has to
:17:06. > :17:09.follow that lead if he wants to challenge for honours. He has to
:17:10. > :17:12.finish in the Champions League places. The bull has they are
:17:13. > :17:17.contending for the title, that was not the plan, he has to finish in
:17:18. > :17:26.the top four. Ex-managers have to get there. If he gets the money,
:17:27. > :17:31.fine, but how do you attract players if you are not in the Champions
:17:32. > :17:35.League? That is the difficulty. Two years ago Liverpool were under
:17:36. > :17:43.Brendan a game away from winning the title. How close are the now? I
:17:44. > :17:46.think they are long way off. Another manager desperate to get the top
:17:47. > :17:51.four is Arsene Wenger and they meet each other today in the late game.
:17:52. > :17:57.Liverpool have a great record against other top sides in the
:17:58. > :18:00.division. That is not Liverpool's problem. They have to get out the
:18:01. > :18:06.habit of raising their game for the games they know they can play.
:18:07. > :18:10.Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, they play well, we know that. You have to
:18:11. > :18:15.look in the eye of players when you are playing Hull, Leicester, who are
:18:16. > :18:22.struggling. Liverpool players do not want to play in that kind of game
:18:23. > :18:27.and have to change their mentality. Classic of losing to less than an
:18:28. > :18:37.then beating Arsenal. Is it a huge feather in your cap? It is true.
:18:38. > :18:46.Henderson is a big mess. I still fancy Liverpool to win the game. It
:18:47. > :18:50.is the reverse of the opening day fixtures. Important matches at the
:18:51. > :18:54.bottom as well. Middlesbrough without a win since Christmas.
:18:55. > :19:03.Crystal Palace looking to build on their recent win. Second place
:19:04. > :19:09.spires against Everton. -- Tottenham. Manchester United are
:19:10. > :19:11.back in action after winning the first silverware of the season last
:19:12. > :19:18.weekend. 2017 has been a good year
:19:19. > :19:21.so far for Mourinho's men. The same cannot be said of today's
:19:22. > :19:37.opponents Bournemouth. Worrying times ahead. Bournemouth
:19:38. > :19:55.have been giving away too many goals of late. It is in! They were 3-0
:19:56. > :20:10.down and have turned it round. What a mistake by the goalkeeper. Lukaku!
:20:11. > :20:16.Southampton six, Bournemouth three. So will Bournemouth be able to claim
:20:17. > :20:27.a first win of 2017 at Old Trafford? Most would consider that doubtful.
:20:28. > :20:29.Even their manager is a doubt. Eddie Howe has gastroenteritis so he has
:20:30. > :20:35.not travelled with the team but he pledges to be bedside for kick-off.
:20:36. > :20:42.Jason Tindall is in charge of a team missing Simon Francis. There are
:20:43. > :20:46.only change is an attack minded one, Afobe coming in for Jack Wilshere
:20:47. > :20:54.who is one of the substitutes. All is well apart from Henrikh
:20:55. > :21:01.Mkhitaryan. Luke Shaw, his first Premier League game since October,
:21:02. > :21:02.starts. Wayne Rooney has been a score of the last waste these teams
:21:03. > :21:18.met. -- score the last twice. Two points from 21 in 2017,
:21:19. > :21:20.20 goals conceded in that time, 51 in total,
:21:21. > :21:31.only Swansea are worse. They have real issues. They make so
:21:32. > :21:38.many individual errors. You can argue any goal is an error. You
:21:39. > :21:42.blame that rather than tactics? No, it is a bit of both because the
:21:43. > :21:46.tactics create some of the problems. He has wanted the teams to play out
:21:47. > :21:53.from the back and they are getting caught trying to do that. Do you go
:21:54. > :21:58.a different way with your tactics? I am not mess as I lay saying you
:21:59. > :22:02.should do that but they have not got as many options defensively as they
:22:03. > :22:06.have in second areas so they have been limited at the back. The
:22:07. > :22:12.full-backs fly forward which does not help the centre has. They can
:22:13. > :22:23.get a win because they can stop conceding. -- cannot. You have to
:22:24. > :22:58.place responsibility on the players who are doing the job. You give them
:22:59. > :23:01.a formation. As a senior or one of the players you have to listen. Get
:23:02. > :23:03.us up the pitch, because we cannot get out. They have to make decisions
:23:04. > :23:05.on the pitch. They play Manchester United with one trophy under their
:23:06. > :23:07.belt. Wayne Rooney is starting. His going to Everton has been a big
:23:08. > :23:16.rumour. He is more than good enough to play. Who is he in place of? I
:23:17. > :23:20.cannot see that happening. Where is your philosophy as a club, how to
:23:21. > :23:25.get those young players games? I am glad to see him starting. He has
:23:26. > :23:35.loads to offer. He has kept his head down well. What about Ibrahimovic?
:23:36. > :23:40.Mourinho encouraging the fans to camp outside his house to encourage
:23:41. > :23:45.him to stay at the club. If they can stay there can they keep them? I
:23:46. > :23:50.hope so. He is really enjoying his football. I believe he will stay. If
:23:51. > :23:59.they do not get it I believe he will stay. He is 35, I am not sure if he
:24:00. > :24:06.is 36. To score 20 goals two seasons running at that age and continue to
:24:07. > :24:11.be... Defenders fear playing against him, that is incredible. United will
:24:12. > :24:12.just get better and better. They have to do what they can to keep
:24:13. > :24:16.him. So Manchester United with one
:24:17. > :24:18.trophy in the cabinet. The next step comes a week
:24:19. > :24:38.on Monday at the Bridge. That has sealed Chelsea's place in
:24:39. > :24:46.the last eight. United made it look so easy. I have won cups and every
:24:47. > :24:50.club. It is becoming humiliation for Manchester United.
:24:51. > :24:53.Final Score will have reaction from United's game today and updates
:24:54. > :24:56.Trevor Sinclair and Garth Crooks join Jason.
:24:57. > :24:58.Danny's back tonight with Gary and Martin Keown for highlights
:24:59. > :25:05.And coverage of the European Indoor Athletics Championships continues
:25:06. > :25:17.at 4:15pm on BBC Two as Laura Muir goes for gold in the 1500m.
:25:18. > :25:19.Next Sunday Tottenham's FA Cup quarterfinal
:25:20. > :25:22.is also live on BBC One, but tomorrow they'll look to close
:25:23. > :25:24.the gap on Chelsea at the top of the Premier League.
:25:25. > :25:27.Leading them against Everton will be French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris,
:25:28. > :25:42.and he's been talking to Ivan Gaskell.
:25:43. > :26:00.# What a man #. Bonjour. We will stick to English if you don't mind!
:26:01. > :26:06.Is this a good place to be? Yes. Thanks to Pochettino. Since the
:26:07. > :26:11.beginning he has brought his energy, philosophy, he has created a real
:26:12. > :26:15.atmosphere inside the training ground and Tottenham Hotspur since
:26:16. > :26:21.five years and I think that today is not the same club as when I first
:26:22. > :26:27.came. Improve the lot and I think we reduced the gap with the best club
:26:28. > :26:33.in England, and this is a way that we try to go all together, United
:26:34. > :26:46.and committed with the club. Our Chelsea uncomfortable? They have a
:26:47. > :26:53.big gap. -- will Chelsea be unable to be caught? They are real
:26:54. > :27:00.contenders. The others try to be challengers. We feel step-by-step we
:27:01. > :27:07.are reducing the gap. Do you need a trophy? Yes. In football it is
:27:08. > :27:13.difficult to create success in one season. Obviously Leicester is the
:27:14. > :27:19.example that is the opposite. The project in Tottenham is to create
:27:20. > :27:25.basics inside the squad to keep responsibility to leaders and young
:27:26. > :27:32.talented players who will have a great future with Tottenham and
:27:33. > :27:37.England and national team. Dele Alli, I understand his dog is called
:27:38. > :27:46.Mr Hugo. Is that anything to do with you? I don't think so. Have you met
:27:47. > :27:53.his dog? No, but I will ask him after the interview. You can take
:27:54. > :27:59.him for a walk. Dele Alli is a great talent. He knows that I will always
:28:00. > :28:05.back him. Ireland like him. I like his personality and his character on
:28:06. > :28:11.the pitch. He is in the best club at the moment to improve his game under
:28:12. > :28:20.Pochettino. Dele Alli can be the symbol like Harry Kane is. Everton
:28:21. > :28:28.is the big challenge on Sunday, to play at home in front of a crowd, I
:28:29. > :28:33.think it is a last chance to finish in the top six, so it will be a
:28:34. > :28:37.decisive game in the future for both teams. It is important to get the
:28:38. > :28:42.advantage against the other challengers. How do you prepare for
:28:43. > :28:46.a striker like Lukaku? I give the responsibility to my defenders!
:28:47. > :28:53.Not a bad idea, they have the best defensive record.
:28:54. > :28:57.How big a part does Lloris play in that?
:28:58. > :29:05.He is huge to what Tottenham do at the back. Yes. I played a quarter of
:29:06. > :29:10.my career at centre-half and having a goalkeeper behind you that you
:29:11. > :29:14.know you trust, it is huge. As a back four, the back four has been
:29:15. > :29:20.pretty much the same four players... A few injuries. Yes, but they find
:29:21. > :29:25.their way back together again. When you have a settled back four and a
:29:26. > :29:32.goalkeeper who is telling you where tickle, telling you to turn your
:29:33. > :29:37.shoulders, it is huge. I like how he is in charge of the whole back five.
:29:38. > :29:44.Everyone looks to him. Where do you want me? A big part of Tottenham's
:29:45. > :29:48.success. Talking about winning mentality, Pochettino has changed
:29:49. > :29:56.the club. Can you compared to when you were there? Not including the
:29:57. > :30:00.beer. When I was there the club was trying to do things the right way.
:30:01. > :30:04.There was a good mentality. A winning mentality comes from a coach
:30:05. > :30:09.who comes in and get the players winning things after things on the
:30:10. > :30:14.training pitch. You cannot have the winning mentality and not win games.
:30:15. > :30:22.Collectively he has that group punching above their weight. My
:30:23. > :30:26.understanding is, I know one or two of the boys, the intensity of the
:30:27. > :30:31.training is really good, which helps their fitness, the demand on them
:30:32. > :30:41.from him is constant, which improves your performance.
:30:42. > :30:50.Eva Marie is talked about Lukaku. Spurs- Everton will be a comparison
:30:51. > :30:54.against Kane and Lukaku. Who do you go to?
:30:55. > :30:59.We were chatting and I would go for Kane. We agreed. He has more
:31:00. > :31:04.consistency. Different strengths from both of them, both wonderful
:31:05. > :31:08.players. We forget how young they are, especially Lukaku. He takes
:31:09. > :31:12.unfair criticism at times, he scored at Everton and West Brom. He is so
:31:13. > :31:18.powerful that sometimes when he gets tired he is not quite fit enough and
:31:19. > :31:23.he looks a bit loose. With both of them, you will get 15, 20 goals per
:31:24. > :31:28.season. When Lukaku is honoured, potentially he could be better. If
:31:29. > :31:30.you are asking me right now, Kane or Lukaku to score me goals I will go
:31:31. > :31:32.Kane every time. Some sad news now concerning
:31:33. > :31:34.a great Evertonian. Their former Scottish international,
:31:35. > :31:36.Alex Young, died earlier this He won the Scottish league
:31:37. > :31:40.title twice with Hearts before moving to Everton,
:31:41. > :31:42.where he was part of a Toffees' forward line, which claimed
:31:43. > :31:44.the Championship in 1963, and the FA Cup at Wembley
:31:45. > :31:51.three years later. His elegant style earned
:31:52. > :32:02.the nickname "The Golden Vision". Some lovely tribute this week on the
:32:03. > :32:07.BBC website as well. When Robbie Brady joined Burnley
:32:08. > :32:09.in January he arrived in East Lancashire to be greeted
:32:10. > :32:12.by a very familiar face. He and Jeff Hendrick have been close
:32:13. > :32:15.since their school days, and Will Perry has been taking
:32:16. > :32:29.register with the friends reunited. How well do you know your best
:32:30. > :32:32.friend? Pretty confident? Don't know.
:32:33. > :32:42.What colour are Jeff's eyes? Brown. Green, brown. How many days older
:32:43. > :32:50.youth and Robbie? 14th of January and I'm 31st. You've given us a
:32:51. > :32:55.maths question. Tell us where this bromance started. We must have been
:32:56. > :32:56.seven, eight years old. I just joined Saint Kevin 's boys football
:32:57. > :33:06.club. It went on since then and we played
:33:07. > :33:10.in every team since then. Luckily enough we found ourselves back
:33:11. > :33:16.together playing now. How much of a role did you play, Jeff, in getting
:33:17. > :33:19.Robbie to Burnley? I told him it was up to him. Obviously I would love to
:33:20. > :33:24.have him here, it would be great for me and the club but the main thing
:33:25. > :33:28.was for him to go to a club which he really enjoy it and thought he would
:33:29. > :33:32.be able to kick on with. Thankfully, he chose us. Do you see much of each
:33:33. > :33:37.other after training? You are doing this here today. How much of each
:33:38. > :33:44.other do you see? It takes a bit of time to settled in my own place. I
:33:45. > :33:51.have seen him the last couple of weeks on and off. So... What does
:33:52. > :33:57.that mean? It's been all right. Why are you laughing? Go on, Jeff,
:33:58. > :34:01.what's funny? I can't! It's a brilliant story, let's be honest.
:34:02. > :34:05.Not only for two guys to be playing at the same Premier League team
:34:06. > :34:09.together but to play for your country and having been in that
:34:10. > :34:14.schoolboy team, that was your dream, wasn't it? We wanted to be
:34:15. > :34:20.footballers. We didn't really think about anything else other than being
:34:21. > :34:24.a footballer. All the years growing up, people said, what if you don't
:34:25. > :34:29.make it as a footballer? I was stubborn and I was saying I'm going
:34:30. > :34:42.to be a footballer. And luckily it worked out. Luckfully! In it goes
:34:43. > :34:49.and the place goes mad. Robbie Brady. That goal, Robbie? It was
:34:50. > :34:52.enjoyable. The most enjoyable moment in football so far. Everybody
:34:53. > :34:57.suddenly knew, your whole family, your girlfriend, celebrating, what a
:34:58. > :35:06.moment it was. For me and my family it was amazing. And you have both
:35:07. > :35:14.scored, let's face it, absolute worldies for Burnley. Great control
:35:15. > :35:20.by Hendrick. What a finish. Brady. Brilliant Brady for Burnley. Whose
:35:21. > :35:24.was better? Jeff's had a bit more about it. Look at that! We talked
:35:25. > :35:30.about it. You think it has a bit more about it. It went in. But his
:35:31. > :35:34.was a bit more to it. The defeat against Lincoln, how embarrassing
:35:35. > :35:37.was that? I wouldn't say embarrassing. It was the FA Cup.
:35:38. > :35:43.Four years you've seen big teams go out to smaller clubs. There's no
:35:44. > :35:47.shame in getting beaten by someone. Definitely not embarrassment. In
:35:48. > :35:51.terms of performance, we've kicked on from it. We put it at the back of
:35:52. > :35:55.our mind. The main aim is to stay in the league this season. There is a
:35:56. > :35:58.lot of focus on. We know what we need to focus on and hopefully we
:35:59. > :36:03.can keep on putting in good performances until the end of the
:36:04. > :36:08.season. Brady and Hendrik were taking part in a Burnley school,
:36:09. > :36:12.playing with the kids as part of the Premier League 's primary stars
:36:13. > :36:16.programme. You think the free kicks are better skill from Brady? I think
:36:17. > :36:20.it's a more difficult skill because everything is already set up. A wall
:36:21. > :36:26.in front, goalkeeper and you need to put the ball in a certain position.
:36:27. > :36:31.Dan thinks was harder. A touch like that visible -- Hendricks was
:36:32. > :36:35.harder. It comes easy for some people. On Burnley, has there been a
:36:36. > :36:38.bit of a change? Last time in the Premier League they didn't spend
:36:39. > :36:43.much money that they have been brought in along with others. From
:36:44. > :36:48.Burnley's standards, a considerable amount of cash and a great training
:36:49. > :36:52.ground. Is Sean Dyche building for the future? That is the word,
:36:53. > :36:57.building. He is taking his time, not be allowed to be flash. He's not
:36:58. > :37:00.been flash. He's brought in good, solid players that will make a
:37:01. > :37:06.difference to the squad of players he's already got. I know Sean Dyche,
:37:07. > :37:10.I played with him at Millwall, he's an out and out a winner. Captain,
:37:11. > :37:15.centre-half he was. We did what he was told and his players are doing
:37:16. > :37:19.the same. When you get quality in, the quality will attract quality. If
:37:20. > :37:23.you can keep that quality, you will get another two or three players in
:37:24. > :37:26.as the season goes. They are right in the middle of the table. Still
:37:27. > :37:30.need to take care of their away form, two points on the road all
:37:31. > :37:34.season and they take on Swansea this weekend. Swansea played OK in parts
:37:35. > :37:38.against four at Chelsea last week that they were well beaten. It was
:37:39. > :37:42.better than OK. They were a bit defensive in the first half, which
:37:43. > :37:45.is understandable, going to Chelsea. And you think, be a bit braver. They
:37:46. > :37:50.grew into the game. Their first chance they got a goal. They are
:37:51. > :37:54.playing good football and do not look like a team at the bottom. That
:37:55. > :37:59.is hard to do when you are near the bottom. That comes from the manager.
:38:00. > :38:03.If that mentality? It is the manager giving new freedom to make mistakes
:38:04. > :38:07.and play. He's brought young Carroll in the middle of the park, terrific.
:38:08. > :38:10.Sigurdsson has another lease of life. He is a tremendous player.
:38:11. > :38:15.Considering the opposition they've had in the last month, they've come
:38:16. > :38:19.through it with flying colours. Even if you don't win every game, they
:38:20. > :38:23.lost last minute at City four example. It gives you believe in
:38:24. > :38:26.what you are doing. I expect them to win today. They have confidence.
:38:27. > :38:28.Another of the sides battling relegation in action
:38:29. > :38:40.Sam Allardyce was talking about getting back to basics. Very
:38:41. > :38:43.defensively solid last week. Not Route one but trying to make the
:38:44. > :38:48.most Benteke at the other end. That exactly what he's got to do. That is
:38:49. > :38:52.the blueprint for Crystal Palace between now and the end of the
:38:53. > :38:54.season because they've conceded far too many goals, more separate goals
:38:55. > :38:58.than any other team in the Premier League. They need to shore things up
:38:59. > :39:02.at the back and he's made changes there with Sakho and van Aanholt
:39:03. > :39:06.coming in. A clean sheet last weekend, they will try to build on
:39:07. > :39:11.that. In terms of Palace being successful going forward, they have
:39:12. > :39:13.opportunities. Benteke's a good striker and we've seen in a
:39:14. > :39:17.relegation battle with him before when he was at Villa. If you give
:39:18. > :39:21.him chances, he will score goals, even in a poor team. They have the
:39:22. > :39:26.players that will give them the opportunities with Wilfried Zaha at,
:39:27. > :39:31.Andros Townsend and Jason Puncheon. They have got to shore things up at
:39:32. > :39:35.the back to stand a chance. It is the wise policy going forward for
:39:36. > :39:39.Crystal Palace. No such problems for West Bromwich Albion. Up to 40
:39:40. > :39:44.points already and if they win today they will equal their points talent
:39:45. > :39:46.tally for the whole of last season -- points tally. But at home,
:39:47. > :39:51.unbeaten in the last five matches and Tony Pulis will be up for this
:39:52. > :39:53.against his old club Crystal Palace today. Thank you, plenty more from
:39:54. > :40:09.Simon. Food, glorious food. They do like a
:40:10. > :40:10.sausage out here, don't they? They love their sausages, things like
:40:11. > :40:12.that. They do. A couple of artful dodgers
:40:13. > :40:14.are reunited at QPR. And we close the power hour
:40:15. > :40:17.with Gower as he takes on Lawro FA Cup quarterfinals next weekend
:40:18. > :40:24.and on Wednesday night Manchester City and Huddersfield
:40:25. > :40:35.fought it out for the final COMMENTATOR: Third in the Premier
:40:36. > :40:42.League beat third in the championship, a division up at --
:40:43. > :40:46.plays third. Crashing against the post. Manchester City very close to
:40:47. > :40:49.taking the lead. Huddersfield have the leader!
:40:50. > :40:58.Sterling tries to tiptoe his way through. Leroy Sane's there. Sergio
:40:59. > :41:07.Aguero against Coleman. 2-1. Aguero will try to make it. Turned in by
:41:08. > :41:11.Zabaleta. 3-1, Manchester City. Could be another chance. Bravo makes
:41:12. > :41:18.the block and grabs it at the second attempt. It was a chance, a good
:41:19. > :41:22.chance, as well. Kevin De Bruyne for Manchester City and the save made by
:41:23. > :41:28.Joe Coleman. Alarm bells ringing for Huddersfield. Into the back of the
:41:29. > :41:36.net by Aguero. Corner. A good chance. Iheanacho with the touch.
:41:37. > :41:41.The cherry on the top of Manchester City's fifth round performance.
:41:42. > :41:48.Danny will be there. You are mightily impressed with Billing in
:41:49. > :41:51.midfield. After the game, Pep Guardiola was desperate to talk
:41:52. > :41:54.about Sergio Aguero. On the sideline he was clapping him, applauding him
:41:55. > :41:59.all the time and Aguero seemed to respond. He worked so hard. I
:42:00. > :42:05.noticed when I was watching the game. I think that is fantastic that
:42:06. > :42:09.he is doing that in many ways. It helps when you have a forward who is
:42:10. > :42:13.willing to put the miles in, no doubt. But we know his quality, his
:42:14. > :42:18.goal-scoring ability. But there is a worry that if you do too much of
:42:19. > :42:21.that and you focus on it too much as a striker, it takes away from your
:42:22. > :42:26.main strengths. It didn't on the night because here he is. But the
:42:27. > :42:30.worry with Aguero, he picks up these little niggles a lot. Hamstring,
:42:31. > :42:35.groin, three weeks out here, two weeks out here. At 4-1, he made a
:42:36. > :42:39.couple of sprints to close people done, the one he was talking about
:42:40. > :42:45.when Guardiola came out. He sprinted across and tried to do a big lunge
:42:46. > :42:49.that forwards do. And the fans were... Keep running around like
:42:50. > :42:53.that, then the... Watt hamstring goes. Some centre forwards
:42:54. > :42:58.especially have to do the work to create as much luck as you possibly
:42:59. > :43:01.can during the game. The harder you work the more a lot you get. Danny
:43:02. > :43:04.was there on Wednesday and so was David Moyes. Manchester City play
:43:05. > :43:08.this weekend. Talked about Swansea playing well, you don't think they
:43:09. > :43:12.will be in trouble. This sudden and would be worried about Manchester
:43:13. > :43:14.City's forward line, there are real concerns going forward this season
:43:15. > :43:16.and would be worried about Manchester City's forward line,
:43:17. > :43:19.there are real concerns going forward this season I don't know
:43:20. > :43:24.where to look beyond Jermain Defoe in giving them hope. Are they
:43:25. > :43:27.playing good enough football? Sometimes, Dan, it's not about
:43:28. > :43:30.playing good football. When you are in a relegation fight you've just
:43:31. > :43:34.got to roll up your sleeves, pull your socks up. We spoke about
:43:35. > :43:39.Leicester at the touch screen earlier but do the basics right,
:43:40. > :43:42.work incredibly hard, don't concede silly goals, which they've done for
:43:43. > :43:45.the past three seasons. Hopefully that sprinkling of quality you've
:43:46. > :43:51.got like Jermain Defoe might get you a point but it's not good enough
:43:52. > :43:56.that way. Pep Guardiola also talked about Luis Enrique leaving Barcelona
:43:57. > :44:00.for a rest. Using Frittelli successful. -- he is incredibly
:44:01. > :44:04.successful. What is it about Barcelona that tie that managers? It

:44:11. > :44:11.a rest and enjoy yourself. Get a bit of sunshine. Who doesn't like a
:44:12. > :44:12.sabbatical? There are highlights of Sunderland v
:44:13. > :44:15.Manchester City and Spurs v Everton on Match of the Day 2 tomorrow
:44:16. > :44:18.night at 10.30pm. Phil Neville and Jermaine
:44:19. > :44:20.Jenas on that one. Tonight from 10pm, there's live
:44:21. > :44:22.coverage of England's latest match in the #SheBelieves Cup as they take
:44:23. > :44:30.on hosts USA in New Jersey. From France to Germany,
:44:31. > :44:32.where RB Leipzig have been making a real stir since starting out
:44:33. > :44:34.back in 2009. After four promotions,
:44:35. > :44:36.the controversial club are currently second in the Bundesliga,
:44:37. > :44:38.and their 19 year-old Scottish winger, Oliver Burke,
:44:39. > :45:08.has been talking football, Take us back to last August and tell
:45:09. > :45:13.us how the move happened. Yes, I played against Leeds United at the
:45:14. > :45:20.City Ground and I remember speaking to my agent before the game and he
:45:21. > :45:26.told me about Leipzig and I was thinking, an international club are
:45:27. > :45:32.interested in me and he told be the facilities are amazing and they
:45:33. > :45:41.seemed a lot more bothered than very keen on having me as a player did
:45:42. > :46:01.you Google them? I did. There are two teams. RB Salzburg and RB
:46:02. > :46:06.Leipzig. I feel I belong here. It was the right decision. A chance for
:46:07. > :46:14.Oliver Burke! He has scored. He has his first goal in German German
:46:15. > :46:18.football. It is great to get off to such a great start. They deserve
:46:19. > :46:25.first season in the Bundesliga at the top. I was expecting it to be
:46:26. > :46:30.very good for us but not at the very top, battling for the champions. We
:46:31. > :46:37.all get on so well and I think that is bigger when you are in a team,
:46:38. > :46:42.everybody is behind each other and has the same goals which is really
:46:43. > :46:47.good. Has there been a specific moment when you looked around and
:46:48. > :46:52.thought wow? Probably the first game when I set-up the goal against
:46:53. > :46:58.Dortmund. I had to pinch myself after the game. How is the German
:46:59. > :47:03.coming? There are a little bit I can hear on the pitch and I finish off
:47:04. > :47:07.the sentence in England because my German is not so good. It is my
:47:08. > :47:16.first time learning a language so it is difficult but I will get there. A
:47:17. > :47:21.lot of fans have branded RB Leipzig about being linked with Red Bull.
:47:22. > :47:25.Does that affect the football? It does not affect you when you are on
:47:26. > :47:31.the pitch. If you glance up it kind of makes you feel, what is going on?
:47:32. > :47:42.A little bit intimidated. It is part of football. It is how it is. Your
:47:43. > :47:47.family are joining you in Leipzig. Yes, that is key for my development
:47:48. > :47:54.to keep them close. My mum can do my washing and cooking. We have food
:47:55. > :48:03.here, the food is brilliant. It is good to have my mum around and my
:48:04. > :48:08.stepdad. Isn't it good to see... I know there are politics around RB
:48:09. > :48:12.Leipzig but isn't it good to see a young British player testing himself
:48:13. > :48:18.in a foreign country? 19 years old, brave decision. By the looks of it,
:48:19. > :48:23.he is smiling, enjoying his football, enjoying where he is
:48:24. > :48:29.living. We were just speaking while he was talking and Dan was saying
:48:30. > :48:35.that sometimes it is not about the club, it is about who once you, who
:48:36. > :48:40.really wants you to play for them. I thought that was a great point. If
:48:41. > :48:50.somebody wants you and they make you feel welcome, it can sway your
:48:51. > :48:55.decision. I was a little bit dubious when I heard about Batman. I listen
:48:56. > :49:01.to and he said no one else really wanted me that much. As a player
:49:02. > :49:05.that is a huge thing. I went where I felt wanted.
:49:06. > :49:07.Celtic might be closing in on the Scottish title,
:49:08. > :49:10.27 points clear after a 4-0 win at Inverness on Wednesday,
:49:11. > :49:12.but there was sad news this week concerning one
:49:13. > :49:16.One of the legendary Lisbon Lions, Tommy Gemmell,
:49:17. > :49:23.He was part of the team that became the first British side to win
:49:24. > :49:25.the European Cup in 1967, scoring in a 2-1 win
:49:26. > :49:29.He also scored in the final three years later as Celtic
:49:30. > :49:35.In all, he appeared over 400 times for Celtic between 1961 and 1971.
:49:36. > :49:39.In addition to representing his country, Gemmell also played
:49:40. > :49:42.for Nottingham Forest and Dundee, but it's that day in Portugal 50
:49:43. > :49:52.years ago that ensured him of a place in Celtic folklore.
:49:53. > :49:57.1967 was a wonderful year for Celtic and a special one
:49:58. > :49:59.for Queens Park Rangers, and today marks the 50th anniversary
:50:00. > :50:02.of their League Cup triumph, their only major trophy.
:50:03. > :50:05.One man seeking fresh success at Loftus Road is Director
:50:06. > :50:10.We sent his old teammate Trevor Sinclair to talk QPR -
:50:11. > :50:30.The area has changed since I was last year. The BBC studios. These
:50:31. > :50:35.5-a-sides pitches, something to do with QPR community trust. We are
:50:36. > :50:45.going to speak to a man who is going to mould the future, Les Ferdinand.
:50:46. > :50:53.How are you doing? Thank you for having us. Shall we have a chat?
:50:54. > :50:57.What was it like growing up in the 70s and 80s here? It was very
:50:58. > :51:01.different at the time. I used to come past the stadium every day.
:51:02. > :51:07.Sometimes preparing for a game on the way home you could never
:51:08. > :51:13.envisage playing in a stadium. Good chance. Superbly taken by Gerry
:51:14. > :51:17.Francis. You played for Gerry Francis. What was he like to play
:51:18. > :51:22.for? He was the pivotal turning point for me at this football club.
:51:23. > :51:30.He said to me, I am going to make you my Centre forward. Ferdinand!
:51:31. > :51:38.Super goal. I was told that young black boys do not head the ball. The
:51:39. > :51:48.first couple of times it hurt a bit. It was about working on the
:51:49. > :51:56.technique. I scored a couple of nice ones. A couple against Man Utd. I
:51:57. > :52:07.still had a lot of work to do. Ferdinand. Wonderful goal! Wonderful
:52:08. > :52:13.goal by Les Ferdinand. It has not changed much. Unfortunately there's
:52:14. > :52:23.not a lot we can do because of and staff. Just up here, get a bit of
:52:24. > :52:29.abuse and staff. Coming back into this and understanding the role you
:52:30. > :52:33.are going to get stick. Do you see certain situations of a different
:52:34. > :52:42.light now you are upstairs? Yes. I never miss a chance from upstairs.
:52:43. > :52:46.We cannot buy ready-made, proven, we are having to gamble on talent,
:52:47. > :52:52.pretty much like yourself, myself. Somebody said to me, none of the
:52:53. > :52:57.Centre forwards I liked you. The Les Ferdinand you sold from QPR did not
:52:58. > :53:04.come here like that. He was developed here. That is what we are
:53:05. > :53:12.trying to do. This is it. The hot seat. Can you imagine yourself being
:53:13. > :53:20.there? I have done on several occasions. There's a reason I did
:53:21. > :53:24.all the badges. It has been interesting. I have worked under
:53:25. > :53:30.some great managers in my time. At some stage I am sure I will have a
:53:31. > :53:34.go. Ian Holloway scores. We both remembered playing with him back in
:53:35. > :53:40.the day. I've has he changed? He is no different. I remember him coming
:53:41. > :53:45.into the offices and he put music on and he was dancing around. Everyone
:53:46. > :53:50.was going, what is going on? I know Ian and this is Ian. This is what
:53:51. > :53:57.you get. Hopefully we have someone in here that is full of enthusiasm
:53:58. > :54:05.and wants people to matches enthusiasm. He is great to have
:54:06. > :54:12.around the place. Manchester United have already scored, 1-0 up at Old
:54:13. > :54:16.Trafford against Bournemouth. QPR have spent a lot of money in the
:54:17. > :54:21.past. This is quite a big change from them, doing what they did with
:54:22. > :54:26.him, developing players, finding talent. They do not have much choice
:54:27. > :54:30.after what happened. They went crazy in the transfer market and with
:54:31. > :54:34.their wages and it has taken years to get the club back to a stable
:54:35. > :54:46.position. All three is a good appointment. He has got promotion
:54:47. > :54:58.out of that. It is good to see Trevor going into doing interview.
:54:59. > :55:06.Leeds won 3-1 at Birmingham last night. A point behind Huddersfield.
:55:07. > :55:12.Preparing for the promotion race. It is really hotting up. Fascinating to
:55:13. > :55:16.watch. It is. We are hurtling towards the finishing line, nine
:55:17. > :55:20.weeks left in the Championship and eight in League one. Do not ask me
:55:21. > :55:27.why! This afternoon in the Championship at the top the lead
:55:28. > :55:32.could change place for the 17th and 18th times this season. Newcastle
:55:33. > :55:37.went top during the week and Brighton could retake the lead.
:55:38. > :55:43.Newcastle going to Huddersfield. We can hear from Rafael Benitez on what
:55:44. > :55:48.it takes to keep his Newcastle players mentally tuned on getting
:55:49. > :55:51.back into the Premier League. It is always important but especially when
:55:52. > :55:56.you are close to the end of the season and every single game, every
:55:57. > :56:02.single point can make a difference. It is quite important for us that we
:56:03. > :56:10.have this confidence that they see before and also we approach the game
:56:11. > :56:17.thinking we have enough quality to win and the mentality has to be
:56:18. > :56:20.right. It is such an exciting... Looking at the fixtures, so much
:56:21. > :56:29.going on. So much affecting the play-off position from six to 11.
:56:30. > :56:32.Ten points separate them. Lots of relegation stuff in the
:56:33. > :56:38.Championship, Blackburn Wigan, Bristol City with the Master win
:56:39. > :56:41.against Burton. Second against third in League one and League Two.
:56:42. > :56:53.Scunthorpe flattening a bit against Fleetwood. A huge trip for Carlisle
:56:54. > :56:57.in leak -- League Two. Lots happening. Not just the
:56:58. > :57:02.commemorative kit but club records could be broken, fan boycotts, we
:57:03. > :57:16.have the lot. Final score is from 2:30pm. For 10pm -- on the red
:57:17. > :57:22.button. 4:10pm on BBC One. Do you see it as being Newcastle? The next
:57:23. > :57:27.two games for Newcastle if they win I think they have done the hard
:57:28. > :57:32.work. It is hard to look beyond Newcastle. Big game against
:57:33. > :57:36.Huddersfield. We saw them against Manchester City. That is going to be
:57:37. > :57:38.a big game. We're back at the same
:57:39. > :57:42.time next Saturday. Former England captain David Gower
:57:43. > :57:50.is currently on tour with his cricket show but he's taken
:57:51. > :58:07.time out to take on a man never Having played cricket for a
:58:08. > :58:13.Leicestershire the obvious team to support is Leicester City. The
:58:14. > :58:17.Premiership this season it is a question of how the mighty have
:58:18. > :58:22.fallen. Going back to my support in inverted commas, that has been a
:58:23. > :58:31.real change. It has been fun having you, Claudio Ranieri. It is all
:58:32. > :58:37.about surviving the drop. Superb piece of timing. My chances of
:58:38. > :58:46.playing professional football between one and a hundred are zero.
:58:47. > :58:50.I played with the wrong shaped ball. I live sometimes near Southampton so
:58:51. > :58:59.I am going to go with them. Tottenham are in great form.
:59:00. > :59:01.Leicester City resurgence having won their first game this year will win
:59:02. > :59:03.that
