We speak to former Buffalo Bills coach Phoebe Schechter ahead of the Divisional round of the NFL.

Teams, including the Bills, are just two victories away from the Super Bowl.

Plus in the week that President Donald Trump leaves office we head back to the early 1980s and his departure from professional sport. One of Trump’s ambitions was to own a sport franchise and he converted an NFL team. Unable to make this happen, he purchased the New Jersey Generals American football team of the newly formed USFL. Within two years the league had collapsed and many blame Trump for its demise.

Germany's Julia Gorges graced the world’s top ten, earned 10 million dollars in prize money and reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon but she tells us why the pandemic made her realise she didn't need tennis in her life and decided to retire from the sport last year.


Plus all the reaction following the second day of the final men's Test match between India and Australia and the latest in Galle where England's men are taking on Sri Lanka in the first Test.

And we'll be live to Molineux and the Black Country derby as Wolves take on West Brom in the English Premier League.
