    Similar sounding duos: Wright & Bright. Palace legends! Hopefully Eze & Esse can go on to emulate them.

    Will, Gravesend

    Didn't Tottenham have Kyle Walker and Kyle Walker Peters at the same time. Does that count?

    Re similar names in the same team; Fulham had John Collins and Collins John playing together for a bit and Norwich had John Ruddy and Declan Rudd as their two keepers for a while too.

    I think Ange is probably routing for his players to come back and be available for as long as possible.

    If a new manager comes in with this same availability of players, I don't think they would do any better.

    You've got the great Waddle/Hoddle partnership. Both on the pitch and in the music charts.

    Chris, Telford

    It's cricket but I remember Stokes, Woakes and Foakes in a side being pretty cool.

  5. Crystal Palace v Brentford (14:00 GMT)

    Brentford are already out and warming up at Selhurst Park.

    The Bees' training top is very striking. A camouflage pattern in pink and purple.

  6. Nice one, Tom. I'm desperately trying to think of other similar duos but my mind has gone blank. Any help?

    Hopefully see Eze/Esse in the attack together today. Bringing back memories of the McCarthy/McArthur midfield of a few years ago. Come on Palace!

  8. Leicester can survive - Van Nistelrooy

    Tottenham v Leicester (14:00 GMT)

    Leicester City

    Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy insists the Foxes can stay up this season: "We are trying to achieve something. Today is a new game. We prepared ourselves, we are motivated, we are eager to start and to prove what we can do. We showed it - also in the seven losses (in a row) - the levels we can reach but it's consistency. That is the motivation. We are in a situation that we can still get out of and we are motivated to achieve that."

    Conway, Leicester: Once overtook the ref on way to game and papped my horn. Hour into game he booked me and said "that"ll serve you right for your driving!'"

    It’s a long road and it has been a long road already this season.

    They got that win against West ham in Ruud's opening game, but since then Leicester have been looking down the barrel.

    Recent results has been really worrying.

    I got booked for taking too long to come on as a sub. It was freezing, and got told to come on for an injury. Took too long to get the layers off apparently.

    Looks like I got it wrong at 13:01 GMT, then.

    Just to confirm, James Maddison's exclusion is injury-based, not tactical.

  13. Maddison 'not 100%'

    Tottenham v Leicester (14:00 GMT)

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou on James Maddison's absence from Spurs' squad: "He was still a bit sore from the other night (against Hoffenheim), it took a fair bit out of the group. He wasn't 100% so yeah he misses out today. Hopefully he should be alright for next week."

  14. Yeah, that is pretty funny.

    Ange Postecoglou has been asked pre-match about James Maddison's exclusion...

    Same as mark but a bit different got booked for rolling the ball into the net with my bum, for me it was hilarious.

  16. Tottenham v Leicester (14:00 GMT)

    Four of James Maddison's last five Premier League appearances have been off the bench. Tottenham fans may rate him, but is appears from the outside anyway that Ange Postecoglou may not.

    Mind-blowing how Reguilon doesn’t start this for Spurs just to get some fresh legs in there. Great to see Sarr and Bissouma involved after being classed as doubts. Maddison not in the squad? That is concerning.

  18. Tottenham v Leicester (14:00 GMT)

    The team in the office are trying to work out why James Maddison might not be involved. He scored in the Europa League on Thursday night.

  19. What do we reckon? Yellow card or nah for that?

    I was once booked during a Sunday league match for getting down on the floor and rolling the ball into the net with my head. Apparently, it wasn't funny.
