Jamie Vardy's fresh record may be under threat already!

"I’ve seen it happen with my own town, Nottingham Forest – they went down from the top flight and then again. it’s doable. Villa are holding on rather than pushing the boat out. Bolton and Charlton are near the bottom of the Championship – it’s ruthless. They were both Premier League teams in recent years.

"Villa are a big club. A lot of top players would go there. Some players are wilting away, like Andros Townsend. At some point if you have aspirations for going to Euro 2016, you have to play, it doesn’t matter who for, so Roy Hodgson can remember him. They need to stay in the league – you need to get players who are driven, who have a cause, something to play for. It can’t be a financial thing at all."

Leicester will definitely be top on Christmas Day if they win today but as it stands, Arsenal could take the spot with a win on Monday night.

"I think that was a penalty, a challenge from behind. It was soft but it was a spot-kick. And Wickham hit that so hard - it hit the back of the net and straight back out again!"

Bournemouth will expect to go on and win this after James McClean's stupid red card.

An impressive half of football from Chelsea. Not so from Sunderland.

I suggest Jose Mourinho doesn't watch Match of the Day this evening - or at least go to the bathroom during the Chelsea highlights.

The players who were so hopelessly bad during the last few months of his reign, have miraculously found their form again.

That's four goals in one-and-a-half games for Thomas Ince, the in-form midfielder who has put Derby 1-0 up at Ipswich. The Rams will claim second place ahead of Brighton if they can hold onto their lead. Burnley, who are without a win in six games, lead Charlton thanks to a goal from Scott Arfield.

"Everybody laughed at me when I said Crystal Palace would finish above Spurs this season. 

"But they have played well again today - and without Yohan Cabaye. They are set up well for the counter attack."

A very enjoyable half of football. Well done all.

Former Man City defender, Final Score

"As it stands Spurs are heading into the top four, ahead of Manchester United on goal difference. Tottenham really should be targeting a top four finish."

What an end to the half for Crystal Palace.

Wilfried Zaha is running away from goal inside the penalty area, when Glenn Whelan inexplicably trips him.

Connor Wickham steps up and converts the penalty. Against the run of play, but they will take it.

"I just wonder if there was a bit of confusion in the Southampton defence, because Harry Kane was in an offside position in the middle. But Dele Alli runs off the the right-back and slots it in.

"For me the assistant referee was correct to wave play on."

BOOS at Old Trafford. 

Bournemouth should be ahead.

Junior Stanislas stands up a delicious cross from the right but, from just five yards, he Matt Ritchie heads wide.
