Saido Berahino's form has not gone unnoticed by the transfer tittle-tattle merchants.

The Daily Mail, external have put Liverpool's misfiring forward line on one side of the scales, Berahino's goal spurt on the other side and come up with a £25m January bid to take the England Under-21 international to Anfield.

Realistic? Advisable? Or chip wrapper?

Your thoughts on that possible move are welcome.

West Brom head coach Alan Irvine believes that striker Saido Berahino has the mental strength to become an England centre-forward in time.

Berahino is the highest English scorer in the Premier League, taking his total for the season to seven with a penalty in yesterday's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.

Asked if the striker could do a job for England boss Roy Hodgson, Irvine told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek: "Saido's playing really well at this moment. Is he the right player for Roy at the moment at senior level? I don't really know. It depends on how Roy wants to play and who he feels is best equipped to do that.

"Saido's certainly got the composure and is able handle pressure. He showed that with the penalty yesterday and has done so in previous games this season. He's calm and composed. Will he be able to handle that mentally in time? Yes, I do."

Are you a Man City/Man Utd/Arsenal fan ready to admit your team is playing for second?

Andrew, Norwich: As an Arsenal fan it's safe to say our season is already in damage limitation mode. Positive is that we're playing badly and still picking up results but injury after injury, season after season, is becoming a familiar theme.

Dave: Playing for second? As an Arsenal fan the way we're playing I'm worried we might not even make fourth!

Are you a Man City/Man Utd/Arsenal fan ready to admit your team is playing for second?

Chris Fleming:, external Given our performances we'll be lucky (Arsenal) to get fourth. Need draws from today's results... and a Tottenham defeat of course!

Or are you a Sunderland fan wondering whether Gus Poyet is really the right man?

Stacey King:, external Of course we're not doubting Gus. Don't be silly!

MOTD2 Extra

Before all that though, MOTD2 Extra will be beaming out on BBC One and online with former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, Daily Telegraph football brain Henry Winter and MOTD commentator Steve Wilson.

Cheers Saj. And what a day it is.

Burnley, the only club in the Premier League or Football League without a win this season, going for all three points against Everton at Turf Moor.

All eyes on Tottenham's Erik Lamela to see if he goes John Virgo again with a trick-shot stunner against Newcastle.

And then the two biggest touchline egos around rub against each other at Old Trafford as Louis van Gaal's Manchester United take on Jose Mourinho's Chelsea.

Right that's me Saj Chowdhury done - I will now hand you over to "Magic" Mike "XXL" Henson to guide you through the day's Premier League action.

Fans travelling north by train for the Manchester United v Chelsea game at Old Trafford are facing delays (see 11:05) and being forced to alter plans after a series of cancellations from London Euston.

Stephen Shaw:, external Manchester United fans stranded in London? Why? Don't they all live in Manchester?..

Staying on the Hull theme, former Liverpool striker John Aldridge thinks Mario Balotelli should have been dropped to the bench for Saturday's Premier League home game against Hull.

Balotelli missed a good late chance in the 0-0 draw, and remains without a Premier League goal since his £16m move from AC Milan in August.

Aldridge told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek programme: "I'd have started with Rickie Lambert yesterday. It's just one of those things, as a striker, you go through these phases where you can't score. The longer it goes on, the worse it gets.

"Sometimes when it gets to that stage, you need to be taken out of the fray, take a back seat and build it up again."

Are you a Man City/Man Utd/Arsenal fan ready to admit your team is playing for second?

Arvind Ramamurti:, external Chelsea will win the league. But that doesn't stop us (Manchester United) from trying. Top three will be good and it's definitely possible.

Abdul Said:, external I am an Arsenal fan and 100% sure we are playing for fourth. There is no way we can finish above Manchester City or Chelsea.

Michael Phillips:, external Think the United v Chelsea game has all the billing to be a fantastic, open game. If Angel Di Maria plays well, United could knick it.

Hull defender Curtis Davies:, external Early start at Doncaster station on my way to London and station is full of NFL fans. Seen a few cans flowing already.

Curtis is obviously off to see Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions at Wembley Stadium. It appears he is having no train problems on the east coast line. It seems to be just on the west coast line.

Meanwhile, things are back on track for another 'less-fancied' team. Manager Garry Monk's Swansea, without a victory in five matches, notched up their fourth win of the season in the other... er... El Clasico - a 2-0 win over Leicester City.

Swansea right-back Angel Rangel:, external Great 3 points yesterday and proud to have played 300 games in a @SwansOfficial shirt. #scfc #300

That's not a great statistic if you're Burnley fan. Will it be ninth-time lucky at home to Everton?

The other 13:30 GMT game is at Turf Moor, where Sean Dyche will be praying his side can finally get their first three points since they returned to the top flight this season.

BBC Football pundit Mark "Lawro" Lawrenson believes it will be a 1-1 draw in his latest predictions.

"The Clarets need all the help they can get as they chase their first Premier League win of the season but I think their wait will go on," he says.

"They are nearly a quarter of the way through the season now and I am afraid things do not look good."

Newcastle fans might not have to go all the way down to north London in the future to watch their side against Spurs. Although, for those who use the east coast train line, this move won't do them any favours.

The Mail on Sunday, external reports Tottenham face at least two years playing in Milton Keynes as they build their new stadium across the road from White Hart Lane.

It'll mean a 100-mile round trip for many Spurs fans and could last for more than two seasons.

The prospect has been forced on the club as the design of the new stadium won't allow for it to be built in phases and a High Court challenge has been made over the build.

The trips up the M1 could begin as soon as 2017-18.

You know how we've been on a bit of a GMT trip, well it appears Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil also got 'time' fever on Saturday.

Mesut Ozil: , externalAs of tomorrow the clocks will be ticking differently;) don't forget to set the time back 1h tonight, dear Europeans.

Note how he displays his watch to underline the point he's making. Impact.

Are you a Sunderland fan wondering whether Gus Poyet is really the right man?

Peter Collins:, external Doubting Poyet? He took over a club in shambles, somehow kept them up and took them to Wembley. Stupid to doubt him.

There was a match later on Saturday that took headline billing - no, not Swansea v Leicester, but Real Madrid v Barcelona.

Los Blancos romped to a to win 3-1 at the Bernabeu., in a game that featured the Barca league debut of Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan's ban for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup ended recently, allowing him to play competitive footy again.

Hull midfielder Tom Huddlestone:, external Tough game today, Liverpool had a lot of possession but thought we defended well and were organised. Hectic last 5-10mins though.

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren:, external Disappointed about the result today, we deserved more than a point. We need to move on, there is still a lot of games.

Lovren had a header cleared off the line and Mario Balotelli missed an injury-time chance as Liverpool were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Hull City.

Swansea manager Garry Monk:, external It's been a long week waiting for the game today, but well deserved three points. Congrats to everyone involved.

Wilfried Bony scored twice as Swansea City overcame Leicester to end a five-match winless Premier League run with a 2-0 home victory on Saturday.

Fans travelling north by train for the Manchester United v Chelsea game at Old Trafford are facing delays and being forced to alter plans after a series of cancellations from London Euston.

Virgin Trains said all its services from Euston, including those to Manchester, were cancelled until 1030 while safety checks were carried out on the line between Watford Junction and Milton Keynes.

Supporters are switching from Euston to nearby Kings Cross and getting services to Leeds or Doncaster, then changing for onward trains to Manchester.

American Football fans travelling south for the NFL game between Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions at Wembley Stadium have also been affected, with services terminating at Rugby.
