Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce is asked about rumours linking his side to Swansea forward Andre Ayew:
"We haven't made an offer. I'm not certain Swansea would want to sell him. I think that's a bit of speculation on the media's behalf. I can't say any more than that because it's a Swansea player. We're not allowed to speculate on things like that."

"Federer has been knocked from pillar to post but he's on his way back. The crowd are going to go bananas if he gets this set."

"There were a couple of shots that really worked the crowd into a frenzy. People talk about whether Federer has lost a yard of pace but he's as fast as he's ever been. That cross-court pick-up was phenomenal, just to get there, let alone make it."

Tennis
Is the greatest comeback of all time on? It might just be. There's a glimmer of hope for Roger Federer as he takes the third set against Novak Djokovic 6-3. Djokovic is still two sets to one to the good, but the momentum is all with Federer now.
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic: "We have to see on Carl Jenkinson. We are waiting on the results from the specialist. He is really unlucky. We will see after today's appointment with the doctor how bad the injury is.
"James Tomkins is back in training with us. Mark Noble has stayed home today with a bit of flu but hopefully he will be ok tomorrow."
West Ham news conference
Liverpool v West Ham (Sat, 17:30 GMT)
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic: "Our results against Liverpool this season give us confidence, but it is still Liverpool away. One of the most difficult draws we could get.
"We will make some changes but we will have a very strong side. We are very ambitious for the FA Cup and we are looking forward to the game."

Looking forward to hearing from West Ham boss ahead of the FA Cup trip to Liverpool. Slaven Bilic has said he'd rather win a trophy than finish in the Champions League spots. The Hammers have already beaten this weekend opponents twice this season in the league. So how confident will he feel about win number three?

Two goals? Very enjoyable.Image caption: Two goals? Very enjoyable.
Alvaro Morata was on song last night. He scored twice to help holders Juventus build a comfortable lead over 10-man Inter Milan in their Coppa Italia semi-final first leg.
The former Real Madrid striker opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Juan Cuadrado was fouled by Jeison Murillo.
Morata added the second before Murillo was dismissed for a second yellow card.
Substitute Paulo Dybala added the third following Kwadwo Asamoah's centre as Juventus made it nine straight wins.
The second leg in Milan is on 2 March.

"The thing that's let Federer down today is his serve. He's playing horrible tennis, but he's not being allowed to play well, because Djokovic is playing out of his mind."
Djokovic almost out of sight
Tennis
This is all going horribly wrong for Roger Federer.
He's two sets down against Novak Djokovic, and they've barely been playing an hour. A quite extraordinary display from the Serb has seen him take total control of this Australian Open semi-final. It's now a 6-1 6-2 lead!
Join our live text commentary to see if Federer can pull off the mother of all comebacks...
