It was a meeting of two networks at 30,000 feet recently, when CBS's Gayle King found herself seated next to Fox News's Jesse Watters on a cross-country flight. The CBS Mornings host posted to Instagram Monday: Two TV people from competing networks walk on to a plane and to the surprise of them both, they're seated right next to each other for over four hours. How did it go? Speaking for @jessewatters here: A good time was had by all!

I think Marc has already told us that he doesn't sign a new contract, so he will leave next year. The club wanted (him to stay). They offered Marc a new contract, but he said, No, I want to make something different', and that's normal. And for us, it's how we can deal with this situation. (What) is the best way to get this next step done? And that's all about how we are talking together.

Vinicius Junior is smiling again. Five goals, four assists, and there is a feeling that football has returned to his body this season - fluid, joyful - after a mixed campaign last time round. In Saturday's 3-1 win against Villarreal, the Vinicius who makes Real Madrid tick danced once more. He came away with two goals, and was also the team's leader in dribbles (six), chances created (six), total shots (five), and passes in the final third (46).

According to Empire of the Kop, the Premier League leaders could consider the surprise sale of Ibrahima Konate in the January transfer window. The French centre-back has still not agreed a new contract at the club and with some of the biggest clubs in Europe showing interest in signing him, Liverpool want to avoid the situation of losing him for free next summer after the player has entered the final year of his deal at the club.
