    Mark Jackson:, external I think Liverpool and Manchester United won't make the Champs League but who will is another question - be quite a shock if apart from say Arsenal and Chelsea or Man City and Chelsea no other "big four" team makes it.

    On to tomorrow, then, and Manchester City versus Manchester United is the standout fixture.

    The derby was a fixture to forget for the red half of Manchester last season, as they lost both home and away, but you sense they will fancy their chances this time, with City finding themselves in a poor run of form at the moment.

    Robbie Savage feels defeat for City could all but end their title hopes. United will want revenge for last season's defeats.

    Whichever way you look at it, it's a big game.

    "I think the team virtually picks itself at Chelsea now, but you have to say that Nemanja Matic has been an unsung hero for that side."

    Time for a quick recap of today's big talking points.

    Alexis Sanchez put in arguably the performance of the day by scoring two goals as Arsenal beat Burnley 3-0, while league leaders Chelsea continued their unbeaten run by beating QPR 2-1, but the Blues produced a less-than-vintage performance.

    Earlier, Liverpool suffered their fourth defeat of the season with a 1-0 loss at Newcastle while Everton failed to score for the first time in the Premier League this season as they were held by 10-man Swansea.

    Match reports, reaction and videos are all on the football section of the BBC Sport website now.

    "All the question marks Southampton faced at the beginning of the season when everyone was writing them off will have motivated the players who stayed. It creates a mentality of 'we'll show you lot' and although Ronald Koeman gets a lot of credit, it's the players on the pitch who have produced for him."

    Robbie Mcilwrick:, external The thing with Southampton is we have such an exciting team. And they all work for each other.

    Nick ‏Mikowaj:, external Have you looked at Southampton's fixtures so far? That's why I'd hold back on calling them for top four let alone the title.

    Clive Jones:, external I wonder if Morgan Schneiderlin still wants to leave us?

    It is a nervy final few minutes for Bournemouth fans as Brighton push forward. Seagulls boss Sami Hyypia could really do with his side at least getting a draw, they have won only one of their last 12 games in all competitions.

    Elijah Handley:, external I have said in the past that Southampton can't be considered genuine contenders for the top four until they stay consistent past the 10-game mark. 10 games in and they're in second. They are contenders and can see them finishing above at least one of Arsenal, United and Liverpool at the moment. Fair play to Koeman.

    Jason MacDonald:, external I'm not a Southampton fan but they are starting to suggest they aren't just pace setters. Little clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool must wonder if they can reach such heights.

    Gary Watson:, external Southampton are doing a Swansea, remember last season? The only good thing is they are putting a nice cushion between Chelsea and Man City at the top of the league. But they will fall away come January by which time Chelsea will have practically won the title.
