That's all from Sportsday for today, thanks for joining us. 

Our live text coverage of the League Cup quarter-final between Southampton and Liverpool is just getting under way here. Join Andy Cryer for all the action.

Make sure you come back from 08:00 GMT tomorrow for the latest breaking sports news. Until then, goodbye.

• Southampton have made the quarter-finals for the second successive season, but they lost at this stage to Sheffield United in 2014-15. The last time they went beyond this stage was in 1987, losing to opponents Liverpool in the semi-final.
• Eight-time winners Liverpool are looking to reach the semi-final stage for the third time in five seasons.
• Southampton have lost their last two home games (in all competitions) v Liverpool, having won the previous three in a row.
• The Reds have progressed in three of the last four League Cup ties against Southampton, most recently on their way to winning the trophy in 2002-03.

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman: "It's very important because Southampton only have two opportunities to win a title - the FA Cup and the League Cup - so it's important because we want to reach the semi-finals.

"It's a great game to play. It's sold out and Liverpool are doing well under a new manager.

"We know Liverpool like to press and if you beat the press then you have a lot of options and possibilities. We showed that in the second half against Manchester City."

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: "The biggest fault you can make is to think about the next round. Only Southampton. They're pretty hot on this game, they've lost their last two games and they want to strike back.

"The quarter-finals is still far away from the final. But I'm excited and looking forward to the game. I can't say yet what team I'll play.

"I hear Southampton and Liverpool are not the best friends, so it will be a feisty game."

Southampton are missing captain Jose Fonte after he injured his knee against Manchester City on Saturday.

His replacement in that match, Steven Caulker, is set to deputise, while Saints manager Ronald Koeman has no other injury concerns.

Philippe Coutinho (hamstring) could return to the Liverpool squad and Adam Bogdan is likely to start in goal.

Lucas Leiva is back from suspension and Daniel Sturridge and Jordan Henderson are both available after foot injuries.

We're now going to look ahead to tonight's League Cup tie between Southampton and Liverpool...

Teenager Brinn Bevan believes he still has a "slim chance" of being part of the British team at the Rio Olympics despite breaking his left tibia and fibula last month.

The 18-year-old suffered the injury after landing on a concrete floor while vaulting.

"I don't think the Olympic Games is fully out of reach, it is going to be tough, but there is still a small chance I can push for a place in that team," he told BBC Look East.

Sweden coach Erik Hamren has named a squad of almost entirely domestic-based players for upcoming friendlies against Finland and an as-yet undecided opponent.

Twenty players from the Swedish league and three players from the Danish league have been picked, none of them with more than five caps.

"It's a good chance for players who haven't been here so much to show what they can do and fight for a place," Hamren said. "It the same as it is for everyone else - they have to perform."

Batsman James Taylor says three years of receiving phone calls about his omission from England's Test team inspired his push for a recall. 

Taylor, 25, featured in the third Test against Pakistan last month - his first cap since playing against South Africa in 2012. 

"It was frustrating. The phone calls I had thinking I had been picked for a tour and it was 'no, sorry James you haven't been picked again'," he said. 

"But I used it as a positive. I tried to use it as kick up the backside."

Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery took part in training today after nearly nine months out with an ankle injury.

The 32-year-old hopes to make his comeback on 12 December in a league game at Bavarian neighbours Ingolstadt.   

"It's a super day for me and very emotional," said Ribery. "It was the first long injury of my career and was a difficult situation for me.

"But that's football and that's life, it's important to always keep your head up and to work hard.

"It's a good feeling to be back in the team. I have felt much better in the last two weeks, I can do anything with the ball."

How does this committee session compare to most?

At three hours this committee meeting was not exactly a walk in the park for Lord Coe, but when compared to what leading bankers were put through during the financial crash or when public officials are caught with their hand in the till, this was not one for the record books.

There is sometimes a sense in committee sessions that MPs can smell blood at points and go in for the kill on exposed witnesses. We didn't see much of that today although there were some frosty moments during the questions about Lord Coe and Nike.

Lord Coe was asked some very blunt questions about his competence and ability to lead world athletics, and how well he answered those questions is for the committee and the viewers to decide.

And with that, the session draws to a close. Jesse Norman thanks Lord Coe for his attendance, and the IAAF president departs.

There is a serious disagreement between Coe and head of the committee Jesse Norman over the report by the University of Tubingen that found one-third of athletes surveyed at the World Athletics Championships in Daegu in 2011.

Coe says the IAAF will not disclose the entire document until they can be sure that "the methodology is sound".

"I don't find that at all satisfactory," says Jesse Norman. "If you're not disclosing it, you're withholding it."

Coe is very bullish on his (now terminated) relationship with Nike: "I chose not to maintain my relationship with Nike because I didn't want it to become a distraction. I don't think that I could possibly be any more transparent."

The MP for  the City of Chester Christian Mathesonsays he had never heard of Eugene, Oregon, until it was given the World Athletics Championships in 2021, and says that being a city with no international airport it is not really a credible host for the competition.

Mr Matheson adds that Chester has a similar population to Eugene and asks what chances his city has of winning the Championships.

Lord Coeresponds that Eugene has a "rich history" of track and field in the USA and says the city "was a perfectly credible city" to hold a World Athletics Championship, "and frankly with more athletic tradition than most cities" he adds.

What does this have to do with blood doping in athletics?

As president of the IAAF, Lord Coe has been asked to attend this committee hearing to tell MPs exactly what he knew about the scandal, as well as what his plans are to deal with it.

Questions like the one about potential conflicts of interest with Nike are relevant both because of their topicality but also because it calls into question Lord Coe's judgement as president of the IAAF.

In an inquiry into poor governance in world athletics, the committee is entitled to ask such questions of the man who will be taking the IAAF forward to deal with the doping scandal.

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill has signed a new four-year contract.
