Liverpool and Chelsea have simply finished one thing they’ve by no means finished earlier than within the Premier League, and drawn 0-0 at Anfield. More right here from Scott Murray

Hello and welcome to the massive one. No, not Arsenal v Man United – no supervisor’s destiny hinges on that one, whereas two heads are on the block on the London Stadium this afternoon. West Ham v Everton has all of it: a relegation six-pointer involving two well-known golf equipment, each fallen on arduous instances, each led by well-known characters, every part of his opponents’ historical past.

West Ham are managed by David Moyes, who did so decently at Everton that he stayed there for 11 years. Everton are managed by Frank Lampard, who started his illustrious enjoying profession (as Frank Lampard Jr.) with a seven-year stint at West Ham. Now each males are embattled: within the sack race, they’re neck and neck, and approach forward of the remainder. Just so as to add spice, Moyes has been mooted for a return to Everton, ought to Lampard get the chop.

In the shape desk, which covers the final six video games for each membership, these two are pinned to the underside with one level every. Everton have 99 issues and one is that they’ve been significantly poor in opposition to their relegation rivals, dropping to Southampton final weekend (at house, after taking the lead), and even being battered by Bournemouth simply earlier than the World Cup. So, in a match the place you would possibly nicely again each groups to lose, West Ham discover themselves the favourites. And they’ve a savvy new signing – Danny Ings, finishing the claret-and-blue set and absolutely bringing a number of objectives with him.

The different 3pm kick-offs promise to be nearly as tense. We have Bournemouth, who’re seventeenth, entertaining Forest (thirteenth); Leicester (14th) v Brighton (seventh); and Southampton (twentieth) v Villa (eleventh). The backside seven golf equipment are separated by solely two factors, as if huddled collectively for heat, which implies that any win is an enormous deal and two on the trot is big.

Forest have simply managed two, seeing off Southampton and Leicester, and will be capable of add a 3rd at Bournemouth. Southampton have gained three in a row, albeit in numerous competitions – in opposition to Palace within the FA Cup and Man City within the Carabao in addition to that six-pointer at Goodison. They’ll be doing extraordinarily nicely if they’ll make it 4 in opposition to Villa, who’re on a roll of their very own underneath Unai Emery.

Leicester, again within the doldrums after a rally in November, could also be secretly hoping to scrape a draw in opposition to Brighton, who’ve gained 5 of their final six away video games in all comps and scored 18 objectives within the course of. Brighton bought one other of their mainstays this week (Leandro Trossard, to Arsenal), reiterating that they’re all concerning the system, not the person. Even dropping Graham Potter appears to have made little distinction to them.

It’s all very tasty, in a gritty sort of approach. Do be a part of me quickly after 2pm for the workforce sheets.

It’s the massive one and it might hardly be going higher for David Moyes, or worse for Frank Lampard. Everton go off to the sound of booing from their travelling followers.

A screamer from Kaoru Mitoma was cancelled out, in opposition to the run of play, by Marc Albrighton, who seized on a rebound after a shot by Harvey Barnes.

A drone has appeared at St Mary’s and the gamers have been despatched down the tunnel by the ref. In cricket, they’d be taking an early half-time.

It had been all Brighton … till it was Albrighton. If this pun offers you ache, please tackle any complaints to Sky Sports.

Marc Albrighton comes on as a sub for Dennis Praet and instantly scores … or does he? Harvey Barnes might have been offside within the build-up. No – it’s given!

Jarrod Bowen scores! After a flick from Kurt Zouma. There’s a VAR test and it’s tight however the aim stands. First blood to Moyes.

West Ham 0-0 Everton

“All the bottom four teams are looking sprightly,” says Tony Rutt on Twitter. “Perhaps they were forced to watch Andy Murray’s performance of grit and determination this week.” We all have to be extra Andy, don’t we?

Bournemouth haven’t been scoring objectives … they’ve now! A crisp shot from Jadon Anthony, arrange by an thrilling run from the brand new signing Dango Outtara.

An absolute stunner, apparently.

Southampton 0-0 Villa

Still, the disallowed objectives are raining in. Che Adams of Southampton will get the ball within the web with a scruffy shot, however it seems that he’s offside, and so is his teammate Kyle Walker-Peters.

All 4 video games attain the quarter-way mark with no objectives. It’s Liverpool-Chelsea over again!

“Mary Waltz, Lampard,” says Jeff Sachs, elliptically. “Absolutely, Lampard should have been sacked ages ago… And Moyes as well.”

Still no objectives within the Premier League. Most of the operating this afternoon is being made by Stevenage, who’ve raced right into a 2-0 lead over the normally parsimonious Orient. Also beginning nicely: Preston, 2-0 up at Birmingham within the match that’s making Championship historical past as a result of the ref is a girl, Rebecca Welsh.

“After a rough post-Potter start,” says Zach Neeley, “Brighton are still above Chelsea, and with a home win over Leicester today, they’ll have more points since he left than he’s gotten at Chelsea. And Potter won his first three league games, while Brighton won none of their first three without him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ongoing revenge like the Seagulls have gotten during and since that 4-1 pasting.”

“Starting Zouma,” says Chris in Corfu. “‘Is Moyes looking for a dead cat bounce?” Haha.

All four games have kicked off. And not a goal between them yet.

I’d been questioning once we would hear from our Everton correspondent. And right here she is! “Lampard will get the sack, if not tomorrow then soon,” says Mary Waltz. “But unless there is a major transfer addition I don’t see my Everton side avoiding relegation with a different manager. Losing Richarlison wasn’t just a loss of goal scoring, it was a loss of fight, of never giving up.”

At the London Stadium tributes are being paid to David Gold, West Ham’s joint-chairman, who died this month aged 86. Mark Noble is on the pitch with members of the Gold household, and heat applause is ringing out.

So Liverpool attain the midway stage of the league season with 28 factors dropped. After ending the appropriate aspect of 90 in three of the final 4 seasons, Liverpool can’t handle greater than 86 this time. Mind you, Chelsea have dropped 31 factors, and performed a sport extra, so probably the most they’ll get is 83.

Never thoughts Dundee, we’ve bought mail from Indianapolis. “I know this isn’t a new or original opinion,” says Joe Pearson, “but why don’t Everton and West Ham just switch managers and be done with it? I’m tired of reading about Lampard and Moyes waiting anxiously for the chop.” Ha. I ponder which membership would get the higher of that deal.

An e mail! From our Scottish correspondent, Simon McMahon. “Afternoon Tim, hope you’re well.” Not dangerous, thanks. “Scottish Cup 4th round up here today, and I’m at Tannadice to see two-time Cup winners Dundee United start this season’s quest for Scottish Cup glory against Stirling University.

An early bid for elegant variation of the day.

For Everton Frank Lampard largely sticks with a dropping workforce, making only one change – Yerry Mina for Ben Godfrey.

So, in a match the place you would possibly nicely again each groups to lose, West Ham discover themselves the favourites.

Just so as to add spice, Moyes has been mooted for a return to Everton, ought to Lampard get the chop.

In the shape desk, which covers the final six video games for each membership, these two are pinned to the underside with one level every. Everton have 99 issues and one is that they’ve been significantly poor in opposition to their relegation rivals, dropping to Southampton final weekend (at house, after taking the lead), and even being battered by Bournemouth simply earlier than the World Cup. So, in a match the place you would possibly nicely again each groups to lose, West Ham discover themselves the favourites. And they’ve a savvy new signing – Danny Ings, finishing the claret-and-blue set and absolutely bringing a number of objectives with him.

The different 3pm kick-offs promise to be nearly as tense. We have Bournemouth, who’re seventeenth, entertaining Forest (thirteenth); Leicester (14th) v Brighton (seventh); and Southampton (twentieth) v Villa (eleventh). The backside seven golf equipment are separated by solely two factors, as if huddled collectively for heat, which implies that any win is an enormous deal and two on the trot is big.

Forest have simply managed two, seeing off Southampton and Leicester, and will be capable of add a 3rd at Bournemouth. Southampton have gained three in a row, albeit in numerous competitions – in opposition to Palace within the FA Cup and Man City within the Carabao in addition to that six-pointer at Goodison. They’ll be doing extraordinarily nicely if they’ll make it 4 in opposition to Villa, who’re on a roll of their very own underneath Unai Emery.

Leicester, again within the doldrums after a rally in November, could also be secretly hoping to scrape a draw in opposition to Brighton, who’ve gained 5 of their final six away video games in all comps and scored 18 objectives within the course of. Brighton bought one other of their mainstays this week (Leandro Trossard, to Arsenal), reiterating that they’re all concerning the system, not the person. Even dropping Graham Potter appears to have made little distinction to them.

It’s all very tasty, in a gritty sort of approach. Do be a part of me quickly after 2pm for the workforce sheets.

It’s the massive one and it might hardly be going higher for David Moyes, or worse for Frank Lampard. Everton go off to the sound of booing from their travelling followers.

A screamer from Kaoru Mitoma was cancelled out, in opposition to the run of play, by Marc Albrighton, who seized on a rebound after a shot by Harvey Barnes.

A drone has appeared at St Mary’s and the gamers have been despatched down the tunnel by the ref. In cricket, they’d be taking an early half-time.

It had been all Brighton … till it was Albrighton. If this pun offers you ache, please tackle any complaints to Sky Sports.

Marc Albrighton comes on as a sub for Dennis Praet and instantly scores … or does he? Harvey Barnes might have been offside within the build-up. No – it’s given!

Jarrod Bowen scores! After a flick from Kurt Zouma. There’s a VAR test and it’s tight however the aim stands. First blood to Moyes.

West Ham 0-0 Everton

Bournemouth haven’t been scoring objectives … they’ve now! A crisp shot from Jadon Anthony, arrange by an thrilling run from the brand new signing Dango Outtara.

An absolute stunner, apparently.

Southampton 0-0 Villa

Still, the disallowed objectives are raining in. Che Adams of Southampton will get the ball within the web with a scruffy shot, however it seems that he’s offside, and so is his teammate Kyle Walker-Peters.

All 4 video games attain the quarter-way mark with no objectives. It’s Liverpool-Chelsea over again!

“Mary Waltz, Lampard,” says Jeff Sachs, elliptically. “Absolutely, Lampard should have been sacked ages ago… And Moyes as well.”

Still no objectives within the Premier League. Most of the operating this afternoon is being made by Stevenage, who’ve raced right into a 2-0 lead over the normally parsimonious Orient. Also beginning nicely: Preston, 2-0 up at Birmingham within the match that’s making Championship historical past as a result of the ref is a girl, Rebecca Welsh.

“Starting Zouma,” says Chris in Corfu. “‘Is Moyes looking for a dead cat bounce?” Haha.

All four games have kicked off. And not a goal between them yet.

I’d been questioning once we would hear from our Everton correspondent. And right here she is! “Lampard will get the sack, if not tomorrow then soon,” says Mary Waltz. “But unless there is a major transfer addition I don’t see my Everton side avoiding relegation with a different manager. Losing Richarlison wasn’t just a loss of goal scoring, it was a loss of fight, of never giving up.”

At the London Stadium tributes are being paid to David Gold, West Ham’s joint-chairman, who died this month aged 86. Mark Noble is on the pitch with members of the Gold household, and heat applause is ringing out.

So Liverpool attain the midway stage of the league season with 28 factors dropped. After ending the appropriate aspect of 90 in three of the final 4 seasons, Liverpool can’t handle greater than 86 this time. Mind you, Chelsea have dropped 31 factors, and performed a sport extra, so probably the most they’ll get is 83.

Never thoughts Dundee, we’ve bought mail from Indianapolis. “I know this isn’t a new or original opinion,” says Joe Pearson, “but why don’t Everton and West Ham just switch managers and be done with it? I’m tired of reading about Lampard and Moyes waiting anxiously for the chop.” Ha. I ponder which membership would get the higher of that deal.

And right here she is! “Lampard will get the sack, if not tomorrow then soon,” says Mary Waltz. “But unless there is a major transfer addition I don’t see my Everton side avoiding relegation with a different manager. Losing Richarlison wasn’t just a loss of goal scoring, it was a loss of fight, of never giving up.”

At the London Stadium tributes are being paid to David Gold, West Ham’s joint-chairman, who died this month aged 86. Mark Noble is on the pitch with members of the Gold household, and heat applause is ringing out.

So Liverpool attain the midway stage of the league season with 28 factors dropped. After ending the appropriate aspect of 90 in three of the final 4 seasons, Liverpool can’t handle greater than 86 this time. Mind you, Chelsea have dropped 31 factors, and performed a sport extra, so probably the most they’ll get is 83.

Never thoughts Dundee, we’ve bought mail from Indianapolis. “I know this isn’t a new or original opinion,” says Joe Pearson, “but why don’t Everton and West Ham just switch managers and be done with it?

For Everton Frank Lampard largely sticks with a dropping workforce, making only one change – Yerry Mina for Ben Godfrey.

Liverpool and Chelsea have simply finished one thing they’ve by no means finished earlier than within the Premier League, and drawn 0-0 at Anfield. More right here from Scott Murray

Hello and welcome to the massive one. No, not Arsenal v Man United – no supervisor’s destiny hinges on that one, whereas two heads are on the block on the London Stadium this afternoon. West Ham v Everton has all of it: a relegation six-pointer involving two well-known golf equipment, each fallen on arduous instances, each led by well-known characters, every part of his opponents’ historical past.

Now each males are embattled: within the sack race, they’re neck and neck, and approach forward of the remainder. Just so as to add spice, Moyes has been mooted for a return to Everton, ought to Lampard get the chop.

In the shape desk, which covers the final six video games for each membership, these two are pinned to the underside with one level every. Everton have 99 issues and one is that they’ve been significantly poor in opposition to their relegation rivals, dropping to Southampton final weekend (at house, after taking the lead), and even being battered by Bournemouth simply earlier than the World Cup. So, in a match the place you would possibly nicely again each groups to lose, West Ham discover themselves the favourites. And they’ve a savvy new signing – Danny Ings, finishing the claret-and-blue set and absolutely bringing a number of objectives with him.

The different 3pm kick-offs promise to be nearly as tense. We have Bournemouth, who’re seventeenth, entertaining Forest (thirteenth); Leicester (14th) v Brighton (seventh); and Southampton (twentieth) v Villa (eleventh). The backside seven golf equipment are separated by solely two factors, as if huddled collectively for heat, which implies that any win is an enormous deal and two on the trot is big.

Forest have simply managed two, seeing off Southampton and Leicester, and will be capable of add a 3rd at Bournemouth. Southampton have gained three in a row, albeit in numerous competitions – in opposition to Palace within the FA Cup and Man City within the Carabao in addition to that six-pointer at Goodison. They’ll be doing extraordinarily nicely if they’ll make it 4 in opposition to Villa, who’re on a roll of their very own underneath Unai Emery.

Leicester, again within the doldrums after a rally in November, could also be secretly hoping to scrape a draw in opposition to Brighton, who’ve gained 5 of their final six away video games in all comps and scored 18 objectives within the course of. Brighton bought one other of their mainstays this week (Leandro Trossard, to Arsenal), reiterating that they’re all concerning the system, not the person. Even dropping Graham Potter appears to have made little distinction to them.

It’s all very tasty, in a gritty sort of approach. Do be a part of me quickly after 2pm for the workforce sheets.

It’s the massive one and it might hardly be going higher for David Moyes, or worse for Frank Lampard. Everton go off to the sound of booing from their travelling followers.

A screamer from Kaoru Mitoma was cancelled out, in opposition to the run of play, by Marc Albrighton, who seized on a rebound after a shot by Harvey Barnes.

A drone has appeared at St Mary’s and the gamers have been despatched down the tunnel by the ref. In cricket, they’d be taking an early half-time.

It had been all Brighton … till it was Albrighton. If this pun offers you ache, please tackle any complaints to Sky Sports.

Bournemouth haven’t been scoring objectives … they’ve now! A crisp shot from Jadon Anthony, arrange by an thrilling run from the brand new signing Dango Outtara.

An absolute stunner, apparently.

Southampton 0-0 Villa

Still, the disallowed objectives are raining in. Che Adams of Southampton will get the ball within the web with a scruffy shot, however it seems that he’s offside, and so is his teammate Kyle Walker-Peters.

All 4 video games attain the quarter-way mark with no objectives. It’s Liverpool-Chelsea over again!

“Mary Waltz, Lampard,” says Jeff Sachs, elliptically. “Absolutely, Lampard should have been sacked ages ago… And Moyes as well.”

Still no objectives within the Premier League. Most of the operating this afternoon is being made by Stevenage, who’ve raced right into a 2-0 lead over the normally parsimonious Orient. Also beginning nicely: Preston, 2-0 up at Birmingham within the match that’s making Championship historical past as a result of the ref is a girl, Rebecca Welsh.

“Starting Zouma,” says Chris in Corfu. “‘Is Moyes looking for a dead cat bounce?” Haha.

All four games have kicked off. And not a goal between them yet.

Liverpool and Chelsea have simply finished one thing they’ve by no means finished earlier than within the Premier League, and drawn 0-0 at Anfield. More right here from Scott Murray

Hello and welcome to the massive one. No, not Arsenal v Man United – no supervisor’s destiny hinges on that one, whereas two heads are on the block on the London Stadium this afternoon. West Ham v Everton has all of it: a relegation six-pointer involving two well-known golf equipment, each fallen on arduous instances, each led by well-known characters, every part of his opponents’ historical past.

West Ham are managed by David Moyes, who did so decently at Everton that he stayed there for 11 years. Everton are managed by Frank Lampard, who started his illustrious enjoying profession (as Frank Lampard Jr.) with a seven-year stint at West Ham. Now each males are embattled: within the sack race, they’re neck and neck, and approach forward of the remainder. Just so as to add spice, Moyes has been mooted for a return to Everton, ought to Lampard get the chop.

In the shape desk, which covers the final six video games for each membership, these two are pinned to the underside with one level every. Everton have 99 issues and one is that they’ve been significantly poor in opposition to their relegation rivals, dropping to Southampton final weekend (at house, after taking the lead), and even being battered by Bournemouth simply earlier than the World Cup. So, in a match the place you would possibly nicely again each groups to lose, West Ham discover themselves the favourites. And they’ve a savvy new signing – Danny Ings, finishing the claret-and-blue set and absolutely bringing a number of objectives with him.

The different 3pm kick-offs promise to be nearly as tense. We have Bournemouth, who’re seventeenth, entertaining Forest (thirteenth); Leicester (14th) v Brighton (seventh); and Southampton (twentieth) v Villa (eleventh). The backside seven golf equipment are separated by solely two factors, as if huddled collectively for heat, which implies that any win is an enormous deal and two on the trot is big.

Forest have simply managed two, seeing off Southampton and Leicester, and will be capable of add a 3rd at Bournemouth. Southampton have gained three in a row, albeit in numerous competitions – in opposition to Palace within the FA Cup and Man City within the Carabao in addition to that six-pointer at Goodison. They’ll be doing extraordinarily nicely if they’ll make it 4 in opposition to Villa, who’re on a roll of their very own underneath Unai Emery.

Leicester, again within the doldrums after a rally in November, could also be secretly hoping to scrape a draw in opposition to Brighton, who’ve gained 5 of their final six away video games in all comps and scored 18 objectives within the course of. Brighton bought one other of their mainstays this week (Leandro Trossard, to Arsenal), reiterating that they’re all concerning the system, not the person. Even dropping Graham Potter appears to have made little distinction to them.

It’s all very tasty, in a gritty sort of approach. Do be a part of me quickly after 2pm for the workforce sheets.

It’s the massive one and it might hardly be going higher for David Moyes, or worse for Frank Lampard. Everton go off to the sound of booing from their travelling followers.

A screamer from Kaoru Mitoma was cancelled out, in opposition to the run of play, by Marc Albrighton, who seized on a rebound after a shot by Harvey Barnes.

A drone has appeared at St Mary’s and the gamers have been despatched down the tunnel by the ref. In cricket, they’d be taking an early half-time.

It had been all Brighton … till it was Albrighton. If this pun offers you ache, please tackle any complaints to Sky Sports.

Marc Albrighton comes on as a sub for Dennis Praet and instantly scores … or does he? Harvey Barnes might have been offside within the build-up. No – it’s given!

Jarrod Bowen scores! After a flick from Kurt Zouma. There’s a VAR test and it’s tight however the aim stands. First blood to Moyes.

West Ham 0-0 Everton

“All the bottom four teams are looking sprightly,” says Tony Rutt on Twitter. “Perhaps they were forced to watch Andy Murray’s performance of grit and determination this week.” We all have to be extra Andy, don’t we?

Bournemouth haven’t been scoring objectives … they’ve now! A crisp shot from Jadon Anthony, arrange by an thrilling run from the brand new signing Dango Outtara.

An absolute stunner, apparently.

Southampton 0-0 Villa

Still, the disallowed objectives are raining in. Che Adams of Southampton will get the ball within the web with a scruffy shot, however it seems that he’s offside, and so is his teammate Kyle Walker-Peters.

All 4 video games attain the quarter-way mark with no objectives. It’s Liverpool-Chelsea over again!

“Mary Waltz, Lampard,” says Jeff Sachs, elliptically. “Absolutely, Lampard should have been sacked ages ago… And Moyes as well.”

Still no objectives within the Premier League. Most of the operating this afternoon is being made by Stevenage, who’ve raced right into a 2-0 lead over the normally parsimonious Orient. Also beginning nicely: Preston, 2-0 up at Birmingham within the match that’s making Championship historical past as a result of the ref is a girl, Rebecca Welsh.

“After a rough post-Potter start,” says Zach Neeley, “Brighton are still above Chelsea, and with a home win over Leicester today, they’ll have more points since he left than he’s gotten at Chelsea.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ongoing revenge like the Seagulls have gotten during and since that 4-1 pasting.”

“Starting Zouma,” says Chris in Corfu. “‘Is Moyes looking for a dead cat bounce?” Haha.

All four games have kicked off. And not a goal between them yet.

I’d been questioning once we would hear from our Everton correspondent. And right here she is! “Lampard will get the sack, if not tomorrow then soon,” says Mary Waltz. “But unless there is a major transfer addition I don’t see my Everton side avoiding relegation with a different manager. Losing Richarlison wasn’t just a loss of goal scoring, it was a loss of fight, of never giving up.”

At the London Stadium tributes are being paid to David Gold, West Ham’s joint-chairman, who died this month aged 86. Mark Noble is on the pitch with members of the Gold household, and heat applause is ringing out.

So Liverpool attain the midway stage of the league season with 28 factors dropped. After ending the appropriate aspect of 90 in three of the final 4 seasons, Liverpool can’t handle greater than 86 this time. Mind you, Chelsea have dropped 31 factors, and performed a sport extra, so probably the most they’ll get is 83.

Never thoughts Dundee, we’ve bought mail from Indianapolis. “I know this isn’t a new or original opinion,” says Joe Pearson, “but why don’t Everton and West Ham just switch managers and be done with it?

An absolute stunner, apparently.

“Starting Zouma,” says Chris in Corfu. “‘Is Moyes looking for a dead cat bounce?” Haha.

All four games have kicked off. And not a goal between them yet.

An early bid for elegant variation of the day.

For Everton Frank Lampard largely sticks with a dropping workforce, making only one change – Yerry Mina for Ben Godfrey.

Hello and welcome to the massive one. No, not Arsenal v Man United – no supervisor’s destiny hinges on that one, whereas two heads are on the block on the London Stadium this afternoon. West Ham v Everton has all of it: a relegation six-pointer involving two well-known golf equipment, each fallen on arduous instances, each led by well-known characters, every part of his opponents’ historical past.

West Ham are managed by David Moyes, who did so decently at Everton that he stayed there for 11 years. Everton are managed by Frank Lampard, who started his illustrious enjoying profession (as Frank Lampard Jr.) with a seven-year stint at West Ham. Now each males are embattled: within the sack race, they’re neck and neck, and approach forward of the remainder. Just so as to add spice, Moyes has been mooted for a return to Everton, ought to Lampard get the chop.

In the shape desk, which covers the final six video games for each membership, these two are pinned to the underside with one level every. Everton have 99 issues and one is that they’ve been significantly poor in opposition to their relegation rivals, dropping to Southampton final weekend (at house, after taking the lead), and even being battered by Bournemouth simply earlier than the World Cup. So, in a match the place you would possibly nicely again each groups to lose, West Ham discover themselves the favourites. And they’ve a savvy new signing – Danny Ings, finishing the claret-and-blue set and absolutely bringing a number of objectives with him.

The different 3pm kick-offs promise to be nearly as tense. We have Bournemouth, who’re seventeenth, entertaining Forest (thirteenth); Leicester (14th) v Brighton (seventh); and Southampton (twentieth) v Villa (eleventh). The backside seven golf equipment are separated by solely two factors, as if huddled collectively for heat, which implies that any win is an enormous deal and two on the trot is big.

Forest have simply managed two, seeing off Southampton and Leicester, and will be capable of add a 3rd at Bournemouth. Southampton have gained three in a row, albeit in numerous competitions – in opposition to Palace within the FA Cup and Man City within the Carabao in addition to that six-pointer at Goodison. They’ll be doing extraordinarily nicely if they’ll make it 4 in opposition to Villa, who’re on a roll of their very own underneath Unai Emery.

Leicester, again within the doldrums after a rally in November, could also be secretly hoping to scrape a draw in opposition to Brighton, who’ve gained 5 of their final six away video games in all comps and scored 18 objectives within the course of. Brighton bought one other of their mainstays this week (Leandro Trossard, to Arsenal), reiterating that they’re all concerning the system, not the person. Even dropping Graham Potter appears to have made little distinction to them.

It’s all very tasty, in a gritty sort of approach. Do be a part of me quickly after 2pm for the workforce sheets.

It’s the massive one and it might hardly be going higher for David Moyes, or worse for Frank Lampard. Everton go off to the sound of booing from their travelling followers.

A screamer from Kaoru Mitoma was cancelled out, in opposition to the run of play, by Marc Albrighton, who seized on a rebound after a shot by Harvey Barnes.

A drone has appeared at St Mary’s and the gamers have been despatched down the tunnel by the ref. In cricket, they’d be taking an early half-time.
