Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew looks as smug as you would imagine after his side beat Southampton in a thrilling Premier League game.

"We're exciting, we go forward, we commit players forward," said the Eagles boss.

"First half, we were the better team and maybe we should have had two goals. The second half we started well, we didn't score and then had to work hard. Our spirit was great and we saw a midfield masterclass from Yohan Cabaye. 

"Our goalie Wayne Hennessey made two world-class saves today - the one at the end was the most important. That was the only mistake we made in the whole game."

"The problem with Louis van Gaal is he’s had £250m to spend and he’s not brought in players capable of producing the football we’re used to seeing Manchester United play. 

"What the fans are seeing is not good enough, they’re not seeing enough goals. I’m not anti-Man Utd, and I’m not a Man Utd fan, but we’re so used to seeing them at the very top, competing for trophies, and I have to say, he’s spent £250m and the recruitment's been nowhere near it."

Bournemouth are unchanged from the side that won at Chelsea last week,

Bournemouth XI: Boruc, Smith, Cook, Francis, Daniels, Ritchie, Surman, Arter, Gosling, Stanislas, King.

Eighteen-year-old defender Cameron Borthwick-Jackson starts for Manchester United, one of three changes from the side that started the defeat to Wolfsburg in the Champions League in midweek. Also in are midfielder Michael Carrick, who is captain, and 20-year-old Irish defender Paddy McNair. 

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Varela, McNair, Blind, Borthwick-Jackson, Carrick, Fellaini, Lingard, Mata, Memphis, Martial.

Crystal Palace midfielder Yohan Cabaye is grinning away in the bowels of Selhurst Park. Not surprising as he was the matchwinner for his team. He composes himself though to trot out some standard post-match fare.

"It was a tough game but we've done the job," says the France midfielder. "We played well and we stayed in a good shape to keep the result. The three points are very good for us.

"It is always difficult when you're 1-0 up and we needed Wayne Hennessey to make some good saves. We stayed strong and solid. We played well as a team. Our mentality is the same - we're all together."

The live draw for Euro 2016 will be taking place soon. First, though, we're being "treated" to some dancing as part of Uefa's celebratory pre-amble. You can follow all that (plus the actual draw) via this live text with Gary Rose.

"Lots of noise about Deeney and Ighalo and the way they play, but from Sunderland's perspective how disappointing, This would have been a game they were targeting for a win."

West Ham playmaker Mauro Zarate looks like a shopper who has been drowned in the Christmas frenzy. The Argentine reckons the draw is not goo enough for the eighth-placed Hammers

"I think it s a bad result for us we need to win at home," he says. Wwe have to do better if we want to win. They created some chances int he second half and Adrian was really good but i think 0-0 was a normal result.

It says it all that the Man City announcer has just revealed the home man of the match to be Joe Hart. His saves kept the home side level for long periods. Ultimately, though, the game was won by a lucky deflected goal from Yaya Toure, which sends City top for now on goal difference. Cruel on Swansea and caretaker boss Alan Curtis. They played well and deserved a point.

Everyone inside the Boleyn Ground breathes a sigh of relief. Time to get out of the cold and pretend that game never happened.

A point and three spots separates eight-placed West Ham from their visitors in the Premier League table.

Sunderland scrapped and fought and certainly had their chances, but they come away with nothing. In contrast, Watford march on thanks to Odion Ighalo's early goal. The Hornets are seventh.

All smiles at Selhurst Park as the home fans gleefully belt out the Dave Clark Five classic 'Glad All Over' after the final whistle. Palace are back up to sixth with that win, level on points with fifth-placed Spurs who host Newcastle tomorrow.

"Bafetimbi Gomis had done so well to get Swansea back level and then this goes and happens!

"It's a deflection but Yaya Toure cuts inside on his left foot and it goes over the keeper's head. Without the touch off the Swansea player, it's not going in."

Into injury-time....and Southampton create a golden chance. Shane Long latches onto a loose ball, drives a firm half-volley goalwards but Wayne Hennessey stands tall to block. Game winner is that.

Stoke almost steal a win. Mame Biram Diouf finds himself clear of the Hammers defence, after a peach of a throughball from Marko Arnautovic. But Hammers keeper Adrian is alert to smother.

Saints keeper Paulo Gazzaniga is called into action again. The Argentine pushes wide Connor Wickham's wicked shot, then produces a one-handed block from Yannick Bolaise's volley from the resulting corner. Saints hanging on...

Brighton are on the way to a four-point lead at the top of the Championship.

They lead Derby, who began the day in third, 2-1, while second-placed Middlesbrough are being held at home by Birmingham.

Hull, still leading Bolton 1-0, are closing the gap on the top two.
