Hello and welcome to live coverage of Fulham v Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage. We can say without fear of contradiction that it won’t be as exciting as Fulham’s last home game, the madcap 5-4 defeat to Manchester City on Tuesday. But it should be an engaging match between two excellently coached teams.

Fulham and Palace are separated by nine places and only six points, such is the congestion in the middle of the Premier League table. Despite the City defeat, Fulham have a pretty good home record: P7 W4 D1 L2, exactly the same as Palace’s record on the road. The contrast in styles – Fulham’s rhythmic possession versus Palace’s rapier counter-attacks – only adds to the appeal.

Israeli PM to discuss next steps with Donald Trump this month but timetable for lasting peace remains unclear

Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the first phase of the UN-endorsed Gaza ceasefire plan is close to completion, and that the second phase must involve the disarmament of Hamas.

The Israeli prime minister said he would discuss the next steps later this month in Washington with Donald Trump, whose Gaza proposals were codified in a UN security council resolution on 17 November.

• Norris is 11th Briton to win title after tense third place

• Max Verstappen second in title race, Oscar Piastri third

Lando Norris has won his first Formula One world championship with a gutsy, nerveless drive of no little bravery to seal it with third place at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. A podium was enough for the 26-year-old British driver despite Red Bull’s Max Verstappen winning and his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri taking second.

Norris did exactly what was required of him in an enormously intense and high-pressure contest at the Yas Marina Circuit, including making a series of bold overtakes, with a flawless execution by himself and by his McLaren team.

A charismatic Louis Gaunt stars as Raz Shaw’s version of the classic musical hits all the key beats with crowd-pleasing confidence

Raz Shaw’s exuberant production of Singin’ in the Rain opens with nothing on stage but a coat and hat. They belong to leading man Don Lockwood (a charismatic Louis Gaunt), who taps out a quick dance before shrugging them on and transforming into his movie star persona. Immediately we’re in Hollywood, a world obsessed with appearances.

It’s an apt start for a musical that pokes fun at the gap between reputation and reality. There’s Don, whose pre-Hollywood vaudeville career is at odds with his public image, and whose self-importance is quickly mocked by aspiring actress Kathy Selden (Carly Mercedes Dyer). Opposite him, co-star Lina Lamont’s on-screen glamour knocks up against her screeching voice, here delivered with squeaky relish by Laura Baldwin. The arrival of the talkies leaves the studio scrambling to save face, with entertaining if familiar consequences.
