    An interesting line coming out of the US this morning: the NFL is to investigate claims that Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning used banned human growth hormone.

    The allegations were made by broadcaster Al Jazeera and Manning has described them as "complete garbage".

    Manning will be aiming to lead the Broncos to victory in Superbowl 50, which as we mentioned is live on the BBC on 7 February.

  5. Martial can be a great - Blind

    Football

    Anthony Martial has the attributes to be among Manchester United's best-ever strikers, says clubmate Daley Blind.

    "He is a big talent, he is still young and we cannot forget that. But you can see on the training pitch and even in the matches already how much quality he has," Blind told the club's website.

    "He is very quick of course, he is strong and I think he is really calm in front of the goal. He has everything needed to become a great striker."

  8. Silva at his best by season end - Pellegrini

    Football

    Manchester City midfielder David Silva will be operating at 100% by the end of the season, says manager Manuel Pellegrini.

    Silva had a six-week lay-off with an ankle problem prior to the minor knock he picked up in the League Cup semi-final first leg 2-1 loss to Everton on 6 January.

    Limited to just 13 Premier League starts this campaign, Silva has scored two goals and registered eight assists and his manager expects him to get better. 

    "David has had different injuries during the season. But now he is feeling better so I hope he will finish the season in his best performance," Pellegrini said.

  18. Relive the penalty drama

    Football

    Perfect for Liverpool fans, but it may be painful listening for Stoke supporters.

  19. 'The atmosphere was electric'

    Football

    Interviewing footballers is not always the easiest thing, and it is not helped when the team are in a party mood after securing their place in a Wembley final.

    Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen spoke to BBC Radio 5 live minutes after his side’s Capital One Cup semi-final penalty shoot-out victory over Stoke City. His interview competed with chants from exuberant team-mates in the background singing a popular song about Kolo and Yaya Toure.

    The Welshman, who scored the winning penalty, said: "Sometimes it's more exciting to get through like this. It's not good for the stress, but the atmosphere afterwards was electric".

    The Reds won 6-5 on penalties and will play Manchester City or Everton at Wembley on 28 February.

  20. 'We were by far the better team'

    Football

    Stoke manager Mark Hughes, unsurprisingly, disagreed with Klopp's assessment that Liverpool deserved to progress.

    "I thought we were by far the better team," he said. "We were behind in the tie and I'm proud of what the players produced.

    "Nobody gave us a chance - why they would do that I don't know. We've proved for a couple of years that we're a good team. I think Liverpool were delighted to go to penalties and then it's a lottery.

    "We got a win on paper - goodness knows how long it's been since we won here - but the objective was to get to a Wembley final which we didn't."
