    It is not the best strike of Steven Naismith's life, but he will not care about that one bit.

    His effort is a bit scuffed, but it still has enough power to go underneath the diving Wes Morgan and nestle in the bottom corner of Mark Schwarzer's net.

    Daniel Sturridge is on the bench for Liverpool, along with Mario Balotelli and Rickie Lambert. Dejan Lovren and Adam Lallana both start against their former club.

  5. Mourinho on crime and punishmentpublished at 15:11 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    You may have missed it if you were snoozing earlier, but Jose Mourinho was on fine form this morning (see 11:18 and above). Your reaction is still coming through.

    James, Essex: Plenty of people moaning about Jose whining, except this time he has every right to! The refereeing is awful! Martin Atkinson is under no scrutiny for it and Ashley Barnes has got away with a potentially career-ending tackle! Will there be any post-match punishment like there was for Diego Costa? Double standards and a definite campaign against Chelsea!

    Mark Saville: 10 years on and the fun has gone with Jose Mourinho, he's turning into Arsene Wenger.

    Bonaku: No point in criticising the refs. No human can fulfil the demands of these fans. They need some non-human intervention.

    Saints striker Graziano Pelle has just done a pre-match interview. Without putting too fine a point on it, he's a magnificent looking man. He could definitely be a leading man in Hollywood when he hangs his boots up. I can see him in a George Clooney vehicle, some sort of white-collar crime caper on the Mediterranean...

    It's Oscars night, so I want to hear your suggestions for who could swap the Premier League for showbusiness. And I don't want purely a list of divers either...

    Rickie Lambert has just walked through the concourse at St Mary's and is everyone's best mate, from the security man on the door to the lady sorting the hospitality passes.

    Lambert scored 106 league goals in five years with the Saints. Legend is an overused word, but he may just be one.

  8. Postpublished at 14:59 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    Team news coming up from the south coast reasonably soon. Will Mario Balotelli get a start for Liverpool this time? Or is it the game for Rickie Lambert?

  9. Postpublished at 14:54 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    It is a really filthy afternoon at St Mary's. lashing down with rain, horrible stuff. Hopefully we'll get a good game regardless.

  10. 'They moved for the money'published at 14:49 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    Southampton boss Ronald Koeman believes the Saints lost players to Liverpool last summer for 'non-footballing' reasons.

    Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren and Rickie Lambert all swapped St Mary's for Anfield last year, but they have enjoyed differing levels of success since moving for a combined fee reportedly around the £49million mark.

    "A reason to move is not always for the player to do about football," Koeman said. "Maybe it's about money.

    "We can't pay salaries like the big teams in the Premier League pay. It's always less here.

    "If you stay, you stay for different reasons. You stay for the fact you are more sure that you play every weekend and it's not too early - it's about the age of the player and about the experience of the player.

    "But I think it's normal that you will lose players if you don't play every season in the Champions League because it's the intention for every player to be part of that."

    Dan Fookes: How can people say there wasn't enough contact for Harry Kane to go over for the penalty when Alex Song went over as well?

    Tom Brook: I agree that Spurs were a bit lucky, but surely West Ham had their own luck with the offside second goal and Mark Noble still on!

    Scott D: Lot of referees watching Spurs today! Contact is contact, penalty. Got to be good to be lucky.

    Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho on Frank Lampard: "We opened the door for him to choose his future with us and we thought he was leaving to the States. We thought a couple of years later he would come back to do what he wants. First-team coach, assistant manager, ambassador. For Frank we would find a new department for him to run, to do what he wants.

    "Frank represents the club, what he did was amazing. We were surprised by his decision to go to Man City but he was a free agent, he can do what he wants with his career and the last thing I would do is criticise his career.

    Is that door now closed? "I don't know. I don't know. For sure he is one of the best I have ever managed. His career was based on an unbelievable number of goals from midfield. That made him a unique player."

  14. Pochettino 'proud' of Spurs characterpublished at 14:27 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino: "When you analyse the full 90 minutes I think we deserved one point. We started very well, had three chances to score, including the one where Harry Kane hit the post.

    "When they scored it was difficult for us to play, because they play very deep and the counter attack is very good for West Ham with Sakho and Valencia who are very fast.

    "But in the second half I thought some decisions were against us - the second goal was offside. But we need to finish better and score more goals.

    "I think we showed character - that's the most important thing. Going into the last 10 minutes at 2-0 down, to finish the game 2-2 is something to be proud of."

  15. Player reaction on Twitterpublished at 14:26 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    Tottenham striker Harry Kane:, external "Disappointing performance but we dug deep when we had to. Who knows that could be a big point come the end of the season!"

  16. Europa hangoverpublished at 14:21 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    Spurs have yet to win this season at home in the Premier League this season in matches after Europa League fixtures (D1 L4).

    They go to Fiorentina on Thursday for the second leg before facing Chelsea in the League Cup final next Sunday.

  17. Spurs leave it latepublished at 14:21 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2015

    Tottenham have now picked up 16 points from losing positions this season, more than any other side.

    Spurs have won 13 points alone from the final five minutes of matches, also a league-high.

    Chris, Cheltenham: On balance a fair result. Danny Rose made up for giving away a goal by scoring and the penalty evened out the referee bottling the Mark Noble red card. Harry Kane had an off day and our reliance on him is troubling. Like watching Gareth Bale's last season all over again!

    Freddie, London: I've lost count of the number of times West Ham have drawn or lost from a winning position this season. We just don't have the ability to see the game out! Five minutes of injury time though?
