  2. 'Cucurella took the chance to leave one on his opponent'

    Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

    Glenn Murray
    Former Brighton striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It is an off-the-ball coming together. David Brooks is looking over his left shoulder to track where the ball is coming from and Marc Cucurella just steps into him. That's a little bit naughty from the Chelsea defender. He took the chance to leave one on his opponent.

    There is no pressure on Forest tonight. The title is unlikely but if we win this game, there is no reason why we can’t compete for it. The atmosphere at the City Ground tonight could be an all timer. Hopefully it will live up to expectations.

  4. Brentford 0-0 Man City

    On behalf of all match reporters let me say, 19:30 is so much better than 19:45.

    Kevin de Bruyne carries the ball with authority and he looks to slide a pass into Phil Foden but it's just about cut out.

  5. Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

    Concern for Bournemouth early on as David Brooks stays down in the centre circle after an off-the-ball challenge from Marc Cucurella. Looks to be winded.

  6. Cherries lacking number nine

    Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

    Glenn Murray
    Former Brighton striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Bournemouth would have come into this fixture with a bit more confidence if they had Enes Unal or Evanilson been fit. Unfortunately those injuries have left a big gap in the number nine position.

  7. Brentford 0-0 Man City

    Brentford scored after 22 seconds when these sides met earlier this season - and City have survived longer than that already.

  8. Chelsea 0-0 Bournemouth

    Almost an early goal for Chelsea! Cole Palmer picks up the ball in the box and flicks it through for Enzo Fernandez but he couldn't direct his effort on target. Early warning sign for the Cherries.

    Lyle Stevik: I think Forest are in an enviable position tonight. If they win, they make history. A draw would be another step towards the top four. If they lose, it's a free hit, because it's Liverpool.

    To Man City players - win it tonight for Tony Book. Legend as player and manager. RIP.

  13. 'Potter will aim to win first home game'

    West Ham v Fulham (19:30 GMT)

    Chris Sutton
    BBC Football Expert

    Graham Potter's aim will be to win his first home game as West Ham boss, but I am not sure where his side's goals are going to come from.

    The Hammers were already short up front and now Niclas Fullkrug has been sidelined by a hamstring injury. He was one of the players I said people should watch out for this season, but that has turned out the way most of my predictions do.

    Fulham are a good team, but some of their recent results have been a bit strange.

    They are eight league games unbeaten and safely into round four of the FA Cup but that run includes a couple of home draws, against Southampton and Ipswich, where I expected them to win.

    I am still erring more towards a Fulham win than towards West Ham but, because Marco Silva's side have turned into draw specialists, I am going to go for another draw here too.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-1

    Joshua Worrall: Last season I had a bet with a Forest supporting mate of mine that my team Everton would finish ABOVE them in 2024/25…. Fair to say I owe him a few quid and might want to keep my head down now. Fair play to them for the vast improvement and rapid rise under Nuno

  16. 'Forest have been extraordinary'

    Nottingham Forest v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)

    Rory Smith
    Chief Soccer Correspondent for The New York Times, on Football Daily's Monday Night Club

    Forest have been extraordinary this season. They are the story of the season, with respect to Bournemouth and stuff, what Forest has done has been astonishing.

  18. 'Chelsea really need to win it'

    Chelsea v Bournemouth (19:30 GMT)

    Chris Sutton
    BBC Football Expert

    This is going to be another close game. Chelsea really need to win it, after going four league games without a win.

    It feels like the busy festive period has taken its toll on their young squad but they are not just going to give up on their title hopes, no matter how slim they are.

    Bournemouth, who have gone eight league games unbeaten, are in much better form and I feel like I have doubted them too often when I have made my predictions this season.

    I just know that whichever way I go with this game, I am going to get it wrong. I suppose the safe bet is a draw, but I am not very confident about it.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-1

  20. Bank on Bryan

    Brentford v Man City (19:30 GMT)

    Bryan MbeumoReuters

    No player has scored more home goals in the Premier League this season than Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo (nine, level with Erling Haaland), while teammate Yoane Wissa is third in this regard (eight).

    Only Ivan Toney in 2022-23 (11) has hit double figures at home in a single Premier League campaign for the Bees.
