Theyre the last remaining english club in european action, but will need to turn around a two goal defecit after losing the first leg of their Europa Conference League semifinal li 2 at home to olympiakos. Boss unai emery says this is the biggest game of their season, but his side must handle what will be a difficult atmosphere. So lets get to piraus and join our correspondent natalie pirks, who is live there for us natalie . The History Books tell us of greek miracles. Singing in greek but in the heart of ancient greece, villa fans dont think theyll need one. The only english team left standing in europe might be on their knees in this tie but fans are optimistic they can turn around the 4 optimistic they can turn around the 4 to desperate li 2 deficit.

If the atmosphere inside its anything like it is i inside its anything like it is outside, itll be enormous, a lot for villa to deal with because they attempted to overturn that first leg, so anything that could have gone wrong did go wrong. The History Books dont actually favour them, only four times in history has a club come back from two or more goals defeat in the first home leg. So it will be tough for them, Olympia Daukaus really believe they are closing in on theirfirst Olympia Daukaus really believe they are closing in on their first ever european final. As you saw, those villa fans have had the best season, they are just so excited, they are sweating on the fitness of their goalkeeper. Weve seen him in his tracksuit arriving here tonight, he was in that matched a squad we dont yet have details on whether hell start the game. If he even comes on for penalties, if they get that far, it can make all the difference. The overwhelming emotion from the fans as pride and excitement excitement where its a matter they have to go out and throw everything at it, and pride for a season that couldnt have gone much better, with a manager whos been nominated as manager whos been nominated as manager of the pro league season.

Moving to domestic football and everton may have secured Premier League safety, but uncertainty surrounding the club off the pitch continues to hamper manager sean dyches plans. Miami based Investment Group 777 agreed to buy a 9a stake last year but there are now fears the deal could collapse, with the company suffering a number of financial issues. Elma ever since i got it, ive been trying to manage a situation where the goalposts can get moved to significant the at any point in time. So i dont think im in new waters for that side of things. And thats the challenge at the moment, its the Shifting Sands of this football club, or current shift in sands ive said many times that you want to put a base in the club to build from, and its not quite there yet. So dyche cutting a frustrated figure, and the everton fans are likely to be concerned, too. Earlier, i spoke to our football reporter shamoon hafez, who admits things could be quite bleak for those at goodison park. Particularly over the last couple of weeks or so, where theres been developments around the perspective of the buyers triple seven partnership, going into administration, and theyve had to dust theyve been fraught with accusations of fraud in new york. The owner is clearly worried, hes been talking with representatives at 777 this week. One of the major stumbling blocks for 777 is the £158 million loan that needs to be repaid to msp sports capital, and a couple of local businessmen. Of local businessmen. Could this escalate further . Of local businessmen. Could this escalate further . Theyve of local businessmen. Could this | escalate further . Theyve already had Eiuht Escalate further . Theyve already had eight points escalate further . Theyve already had eight points deducted escalate further . Theyve already had eight points deducted this i had eight points deducted this season for breaching financial rules. Now the main question is from this day of administration, im being told thats a last resort and would only come to that if all the other situations have been exhausted. There will be questions for fans regarding the state of the squad. Why does sean dyche have to deal with the free and loans market during the last summer was . It remains to be seen whether there will be any money to spend or whether he has to deal with the situation again. But we have to credit the job that sean dyche has done with the squad, with two games remaining, they are 11 points above the relegation zone. So hes done an excellentjob the relegation zone. So hes done an excellent job with the the relegation zone. So hes done an excellentjob with the cards hed been dealt with. Well, on the pitch at least, everton have got themselves away from relegation trouble, but for three other clubs nottingham forest, luton town, and burnley well, theyre set for a huge weekend. With just two games to go, only one of those sides can avoid the drop to the championship and it all could be decided this weekend. Alex fletcher reports. Times on the trend have been difficult this season. A Changing Manager in this them into some term or in september suggested a change. But with their four Point Deduction held on tuesday, theyve had it slightly off course. The threat of relegation remains present, and he wants focus to remain with matters on the pitch. Taste remain with matters on the pitch. We are remain with matters on the pitch. Are disappointed, we had the hope and belief that, because we conquered at points on the pitch, we had the hope and belief that they can give us back. But the decision is over, so theres no point on speaking on this issue. This is the reality, this is what we have, this is what we have to face, so lets focus on ourselves because its in our and a.

Last time we saw him in an english shirt i saying Billy Vunipola. Last time l we saw him in an english shirt was at the world cup year, in the Semifinal Defeat to south africa. So he hasnt actually played for england for a while, but of course he is still a saracens player and this incident happen for them on a preseason trip. They had gone away to majorca and ended with an evening where vunipola was tasered by Spanish Police, and he was then later charged with resisting the law and find 2a0 euros. Now he paid that fine, he came home, and a lot of footage had circulated on the internet of the incident itself and vunipola himself came out and said he wanted to unreservedly apologise for the incident itself and those involved, but he was very clear to say, contrary to Media Reports at the time, he was keen to stress there was no violence or fight, and he didnt threaten anyone. And upon his return to the uk, saracens did their own investigation and issued him with a formal warning. 50 investigation and issued him with a formal warning.

Because of vunipolas stature, as we said, hes a former england international, who hasnt retired internationally, it was very important for them to come out and make sure they investigated the incident themselves. Theyve done that and now issued a Statement Today saying that billy has been issued with a warning, and explain their reasoning. It read. And we understand that that warning for billy will stay on his disciplinary record for five years. Rafa nadal started his italian open campaign with a win against zizou bergs, but he was made to work hard for it. In a match that took nearly three hours, nadal dropped the first set before winning the next two to beat his belgian opponent. Bergs told nadal at the net that it was an incredible honour, to play him. Nadal a ten time champion in rome will meet Hubert Hurkacz in the next round. It was not my best match, i was practising better than howl it was not my best match, i was practising better than how i played today without a doubt. But i found a way to win, and that so important at the beginning of the tournament for me. As i said, my game is more unpredictable than before, i havent played a match for the last two years. So yeah, some up and downs on and off, but i think i can do a much better now than what i did today, and i hope to do it in the next round. No problems for naomi osaka, as she beat Ukraines Marta Kostyuk in straight sets to reach the third round in rome. Osaka will face the tenth seed Daria Kasatkina next. Well, with the sun finally shining for a lot of us outside, it feels time, doesnt it, for a summer of International Cricket to get under way. On saturday, england women get their series against pakistan under way at edgbaston. Theyll play three t20s before three Odis Vital Preparation and game time for the squad ahead of the t20 world cup, in bangladesh in september. Obviously weve not played pakistan for a while, so we will come across different batters who play different ways. So i think what will be really crucial for us as Bowling Trackers is keeping communication up in those pressurised moments for whats needed for us now. Because there will be those moments where we do feel under the pump and we want to get out the other side of that. So i think for us, after the series will be reflecting on what worked and what didnt, and what we can take forward going then into the new zealand series. I think as long as we keep doing that, welljust keep developing our game ready for the world cup. Therell be coverage of this series across the bbc and i caught up with aatif nawaz, whos part of the commentary team, to look ahead to it all. I think england will be looking to experimentjust a little bit, see what they have on the bench against a team like pakistan who arent as strong as in australia or even england. So i think we will see a little bit of expert mentation, for sure. �. ,. ,. , little bit of expert mentation, for sure, �. ,. ,. , sure. And how strong do we think this england sure.

They got to be a little bit careful, england, i to be a little bit careful, england, its a very strong team on paper with a lot of superb world class players, a World Class Captain as well. But they can be prone to slip ups, as we saw against sri lanka last year when they toured, england were dominating the series, the first half of the white ball series and the last two games, sri lanka managed to edge them out and when that t20 series. So therell be a desire within the england team to just demonstrate that Killer Instinct ahead of, as we say, a really big year. Instinct ahead of, as we say, a really big year instinct ahead of, as we say, a really big year. Looking further ahead over really big year. Looking further ahead over the really big year.

Theres some great teams around the world, australia will be the heavy favourites, theyve dominated this tournament over the years. But for them, england will especially fancy their chances, if they can have a good build up, it might be Heather Knights last night as captain, so im sure shed love to sign off with a big win.

You can listen to Live Commentary on the game on slive sport. But for now, thats all from sportsday. Hello there. Temperatures have been creeping up day by day. High pressure has brought plenty of sunshine around, but a Weather Front Launching across Northern Scotland has brought thicker cloud here, some spots of rain and thursday was another grey day here with outbreaks of rain. Now, as we move through tonight, it does look like that Weather Front will eventually move northwards, become confined to the Northern Isles for a while through the night before it clears away. It becomes drier here, but a dry night to come for most areas. Bit of mist and fog here and there, temperatures ranging from 9 12 celsius. Friday, then, our area of High Pressure continues to bring a lot of fine and settled weather. We lose that Weather Front from Northern Scotland, so, apart from a bit of early cloud, some mist and fog, most places should have a fine dry day. Widespread sunshine, particularly for england and wales, into northern ireland, central and Southern Scotland, but some sunshine into the highlands as well. Thatll lift temperatures up to 22 celsius perhaps, in aberdeen. 23 2a, perhaps, in the warmest spots in england and wales. Through friday night, it looks like well see mist and fog returning in places. A bit of low cloud, sea fog pushing into eastern england, east anglia and the south east. That could creep a little bit further westwards into the midlands first thing on saturday. But again, those temperatures, 9 12 celsius. Now for the weekend. It does stay warm, there will be some good spells of sunshine around, but the shower risk will start to increase, particularly as we head into sunday. Thats because weve got a Weather Front and low pressure developing, pushing towards our shores, particularly by sunday. And into next week, itll be a lot more unsettled than weve had this week. Saturday, though, another warm day to come, a bit of early mist and fog and some low cloud across eastern england. Otherwise, plenty of sunshine, though we could see a few heavy showers develop across the high ground of northern england, central and Southern Scotland into the afternoon. That could be thundery as well. But a warm day to come, quite humid too, the low to mid 20s quite widely. Sunday probably the warmest day of the week across southern areas. It could be up to 26 celsius, plenty of sunshine. But then the showers and thunderstorms could become a bit more widespread through the afternoon. And the temperatures may be coming down a little bit across Western Areas as the clouds build up in the sky. Then as we head into next week low pressure takes over, it will become a lot more unsettled, showers or longer spells of rain at times. But there will still be a little bit of sunshine too, take care. Hello, it is 7pm in london and this is the world today on bbc news with ben brown, our latest headlines.
