There has been plenty of speculation about the future of Sam Tomkins and a possible return to the Super League for the England full-back with Wigan Warriors.

But at his news conference ahead of Thursday's game against Warrington Wolves, coach Shaun Wane has confirmed he has no transfer news to report but reaffirmed that Wigan are always interested in world class players.

The Championship is providing one of the tightest and most exciting races for promotion into the Premier League in recent history.

The top four are separated by just two points, there's six points between fourth and fifth and just one point between those chasing a play-off place in fifth and eighth. It doesn't take a maths genius to work out it's close, very close.

Tonight, seven of the top eight are in action as Bournemouth, Norwich, Middlesbrough, Derby, Ipswich, Brentford and Wolves take to the field. Watford play on Wednesday.

Gareth Bale scored a crucial second goal on the way to Real Madrid beating Atletico Madrid in the final of last season's Champions League final.

However, since then Atletico have had the upper hand over their rivals and are undefeated in six games against them this season, winning four. Atletico have knocked their city rivals out of this season's Super Cup, the King's Cup and defeated them in both La Liga clashes.

However, BBC Sport's Spanish football writer Andy West says bookmakers give Atletico approximately a 30% chance of success.

Europe's top tournament is back in action with two quarter-final first-legs tonight which will make football purists purr.

Talking about Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini (we don't just make this up as we go along you know) you can find out what former City players and pundits think about the situation at the club.

City are 12 points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea and their thoughts are more about securing a top four spot than defending their top-flight title.

Where has it gone wrong? Is it Pellegrini's fault or his players? Should City stick with the manager or find a replacement?

England might have been hoping the start of their Test series against the West Indies would improve their fortunes after a dismal World Cup but their return to the longer format of the game did not go as smoothly as planned.

They had the the spectre of a Kevin Pietersen century for Surrey overshadowing the first Test on Monday and fell to 34-3 with captain Alastair Cook and fellow opener Jonathan Trott falling cheaply.

But, just as ECB bosses could have been reaching for Pietersen's number, Ian Bell's century and half tons from Joe Root and Ben Stokes saw England reach 341-5 at stumps.

"Young players make mistakes. As long as they learn from them, that is what is important."

Let's start with last night's Premier League action. Liverpool beat Newcastle 2-0 to move fifth and four points off fourth-placed Manchester City.

In a bitesize account, the Reds took the lead through Raheem Sterling and should have added to their lead before Newcastle were denied what seemed a certain penalty.

The Magpies threatened an equaliser after the break but Joe Allen scored for Liverpool to secure their win, while the visitor's misery was compounded when Moussa Sissoko was red carded late on.
