The Met Office fog warning across the south of the country expired at 10am on Saturday, and forecaster Nathan Partridge said he was expecting a "continual gradual improvement" with several patches persisting into the afternoon.

The comfortable victory over Stoke was a great boost for Liverpool but they need to maintain the pressure on Chelsea to stay in the race. Last season, Liverpool's festive period saw them beating Leicester and Sunderland within four days, but then struggled for pace in their next fixture against West Ham and lost 2-0. At City, Pep Guardiola says he has not lost faith with John Stones and will not be tempted to sign another central defender in January. Stones was dropped to the bench earlier this month following City's 4-2 defeat at Leicester but he was back in the side for the 3-0 win over Hull City even though he did not last long following an injury in the...
