We're after your Premier League players excelling at other activities:

Lucas Abbott: Petr Cech is quite a handy drummer, so I've heard.

Lewis Mackay: Tomas Rosicky is quite good on the guitar!

White HughHefner: I once saw Mark Bosnich eat an entire packet of digestive biscuits while playing poker on TV. No photos but it'll be on YouTube.

I've no idea if that's true, White, but I really, really hope it is...

Unbeaten in 11 games.

Five wins from the last six.

Twenty points from the last 24 available.

However you cut it, Liverpool are the Premier League's form team at this moment.

Brendan Rodgers has revealed that the switch to a three-man backline with Raheem Sterling as a lone frontman that has proved so successful was forced by his side's 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on 23 November.

"After that Palace game I felt that it doesn't matter how much support you have, the team is not functioning and it could not go on really," Rodgers told the Guardian., external

"The transformation of the team, with everyone talking about the system and how dynamic it is, has been good to see. I should have done it earlier!"

What do you get for £59.7m these days? In the case of British transfer record signing Angel Di Maria, not a lot.

The Argentine was a genuinely exciting addition to the Premier League when he landed in July. He'd just won the Champions League with Real Madrid and been part of the Argentina side which went all the way to the World Cup final.

Three goals in his first five games in England led us to believe that Di Maria would set the Premier League alight - but he's been snuffed out since.

Di Maria has scored once since. In the last minute at Yeovil.

"Winning when you are playing badly is the sign of good team".

An easy one to tick off on your punditry cliche bingo card, but is it true?

Manchester United are testing the theory to its limit, getting jeered by their own fans despite losing only two of their last 17 league matches.

Will their luck hold tonight?

Sigurdsson replaces on-loan Tottenham midfielder Tom Carroll, who can't play against his parent club.

It's been a bad week for Manchester City.

Outclassed for large periods by Barcelona last Tuesday night, and undone by the high-energy outlook and long-range screamers from Liverpool on Sunday.

When times are hard you couldn't ask for a better game - on paper - than bottom of the league at home.

But in a bizarre but true quirk of fate, Leicester have won every Premier League game they've ever played at City. True.

City to get back on track? Or another nightmare?

Ipswich Town can move back into the top six of the Championship with a positive result against Leeds United at Elland Road tonight. A point will be enough to move Mick McCarthy's side into the play-off positions at the expense of Brentford.

At the other end of the table, bottom club Blackpool travel to Birmingham looking to end their sequence of six matches without a win. The fixture takes Seasiders manager Lee Clark back to his former club.

Norwich, fresh from their victory over rivals Ipswich, entertain second-bottom Wigan, while Blackburn will move above Sheffield Wednesday if they win the mid-table tussle at Hillsborough.

It is not all about the top-flight glamourpusses tonight though.

The Championship lead switched from Derby to Middlesbrough last night and there are more thrills and spills in store tonight...
