quarterfinal. klopp�*s kids were at it again, after helping get liverpool over the line in the league cup final. three goals from two 18—year—olds sealed their 3—0 win over southampton in the last 16. a brace from jayden danns and a lewis koumas strike sets up a potentially thrilling tie at manchester united in the next round. it was a wonderful play, and well done by lewis. but that second half, come on. if we got the ball back, and he passed it back, that's what a striker has to do. thankfully that youth department is so big in the fa cup, so where else to put the ball? it's a ball you can more or less see coming because he has a nose for it. manchester united welcome their bitter rivals to old trafford, after they came through their last—16 tie at nottingham forest. casemiro with the only goal

of the game in the 89th minute at the city ground. it's fantastic, so fantastic games coming up. so this team, what they showed today, that is great. they have to show it every day and stomach again, and that's what i've seen over the last couple months —— every game. sometimes it's the case, but still you have to find a way to win. wolves reached the fa cup quarterfinals for the third time this century, after beating brighton 1—0 at molineux. mario lemina was on the scoresheet for gary o'neil's side, who will go on to face coventry. brighton, that's how they play, they do take risks and leave you with opportunities to counterattack and when the ball back. we did have rally as many opportunities as they did, we were allowed to defend. the crowd played a massive part in helping the boys later on in the game when we were tiring. a

really good evening, tough side to beat, and yet, delighted to get through to the quarterfinal. inter milan extended their lead at the top of serie a to 12 points after beating atalanta 4—0 at san siro. atalanta missed the chance to move into the champions league places. it's the first time inter have won their first seven league matches of a calender year. simone inzaghi's side have lost just one of their 26 games in serie a this season. former manchester united defenderjohn o'shea has been appointed republic of ireland interim head coach for their march friendlies against belgium and switzerland. o'shea won 118 caps for ireland, and also had a spell as assistant to stephen kenny, who left in november afterfailing to reach this summer's euros. o'shea will be supported by crystal palace coach paddy mccarthy, with the football association of ireland saying they plan to name a permanent manager in april. with the season—opening bahrain grand prix almost upon us, red bull's team principal, christian horner, has been cleared of inappropriate and controlling behaviour towards

a female collegaue. red bull say the investigation has been "fair, rigorous and impartial" and with the season about to begin the team can now fully focus on helping max verstappen win a fourth world title. our sports news correspondent laura scott reports. christian horner has been at the head of red bull racing for nearly two decades, building the team into a dominant force and become one of the most recognisable faces in the paddock, often alongside his former spice girl wife. but his future in the sport was put in jeopardy when allegations of inappropriate behaviour made against him by a female colleague. at the recent season launch, he emphatically maintained his innocence. can you guarantee you have never behaved inappropriately towards a colleague? i deny accusations that have been made against me. with the season looming, key figures in the sport had called for a swift resolution. it is very concerning, the allegations are extremely serious and it is certainly

seems like things should be coming to an end here quickly because we really need to be talking about formula 1 as we go to the start of the year. just 72 hours before the first race came the news that he had been cleared of misconduct, following an independent investigation, with a statement from the tean�*s parent company saying that red bull can't confirm grievances had been dismissed and the complainant has a right to appeal. while everyone here at the team based in milton keynes has been trying to operate as close to business as usual as possible, christian horner has acknowledged this matter has been a distraction as the start of the season looms. only time will tell as the result on the truck will reflect that. this was horner in for testing now knowing he will stay on as chief.

—— in bahrain last week. he and sport organisers will be relieved that the investigation was completed before the lights go out for the first grand prix of the year — but given the chance of an appeal, this might not be the end of the road. laura scott, bbc news, milton keynes. andy murray say�*s he's unlikely to play beyond the summer, but hopes to be given another chance to compete at what would be a fifth olympic games. the three—time grand slam winner took olympic gold at both london 2012 and rio 2016. but he's struggling this season — he's been knocked out in the second round of the dubai championships by ugo umbert. he says he's getting bored of questions on his future, and won't talk about it again until he decides to quit. he's currently ranked 67th in the world, but could get into the draw for the paris olympics as a former champion. daniil medvedev says murray will be missed when he does eventually call it a day. first of all, he's a fun guy and a great guy to be around. so that's always a great

quality in life, i think. then for sure, quality in life, i think. then forsure, he's quality in life, i think. then for sure, he's an admiration of mine because i wasjust going up mine because i wasjust going up the rankings and there was a moment when he was winning slams, playing finals and stuff like this against roger and rafael, the big four. so it'll be sad when he retires, but i think he'll try to go very far. rory mcilroy�*s stand against liv golf seems to be softening dramatically. he initially said he would rather retire thanjoin the rebel tour, but in recent months he's been more accommodating. his former agent chubby chandler event suggested mcilroy could switch to the breakaway setup, prompting more questions from the media. i think he's writing a book, so there is that. i spoke to chubby, i might have saw him in the middle east at the start of the year. never know. he might know a few things. who knows? he started by saying there is a good chance you would go to liv — in the end it was io%. is there a percentage that...?

somewhere in the middle maybe. who knows? england's mel reid has been named as one of suzann pettersen�*s four vice captain's for this year's solheim cup in the usa. the six—time ladies european tour winner, joins dame laura davies, anna nordqvist, and caroline martens as vice—captains for the prestigious biennial competition. europe will be bidding to keep the trophy for an historic fourth time when it takes place in virginia, in september. french president emmanuel macron is set to inaugurate the newly—built olympic village on thursday, as paris prepares for the 2024 games. it'll be home to ia,000 athletes and officials during the games, and 9,000 during the paralympics. it's been built in one of france's poorest areas, the suburb of saint—denis, which is also home to the national stadium, the stade de france. apartments vary in size but hold a maximum of eight people. the beds are made from cardboard — yet can withstand a maximum weight of 250 kilograms. they will be recycled after the olympics are over.

just before we go, a reminder of our top story on sportsday — chelsea, liverpool, manchester united, and wolves have all booked their place in the fa cup quarter finals, and it means that manchester united host their bitter rivals liverpool in the last eight. you can find the full draw on the bbc sport website. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. sunshine was a scarce commodity across the uk on wednesday — but we had most of it in eastern scotland, withjust overfour hours of sunshine in edinburgh. however, the rest of us, rather cloudy, grey and, at times, wet — but it was mild with it. however, as the rain continues to push south and east, the wind direction is changing. we'll see a return to some colder air across our shores.

so thursday will start off mild but wet across southeast england and east anglia. quite a lot of cloud generally across england and wales, with the best of any brighter skies into northern ireland, scotland — northwest scotland seeing a real rash of showers, accompanied by gale—force gusts of winds through the day. it will start to turn colder generally across scotland, 6—9 celsius, maybe double digits for a time before that front clears through in the southeast. but, as we move out of thursday into friday, we see this next frontal system moving in — and, as temperatures fall away through the night, bumping into that colder air which is sitting in place across the country, yes, we could see a return to some wintriness. it'll going to be across higher ground — generally temperatures will be sitting around freezing first thing on friday morning, perhaps below in eastern scotland. but there'll be a risk of some snow above 200 metres in northern ireland, scottish borders, across the pennines, and into north wales. we could see a few centimetres accumulating, so that might cause some minor disruption,

but it will be rain elsewhere. so you can see, circulating around that low pressure, is that frontal system — and it will bring some sunny spells and scattered showers, a mixture of rain, sleet and snow at times across wales and southwest england, perhaps drier into the far north of scotland. but temperatures a little bit down — 6—9 celsius. don't forget, friday is the first day of march, so these values just below par for this time of year. then, as we move into the start of the weekend, we maintain the sunny spells and scattered showers — and the wind direction still coming from the north, so it will feel quite cold, and we could still have a wintry flavour with any elevation. so again, 6—7 celsius the expected high. but as we move out of saturday into sunday, we see another frontal system bringing a spell of more organised rain for a time — again, on the leading edge, there could be some wintry showers — but it will be rain eventually as that front moves through. so the weekend will stay pretty unsettled for most of us. take care.
