    We're teaming up with the Danny Baker Show on BBC Radio 5 live to ask about matches you've played in moving vehicles, vessels or aircraft.

    Dominic G: Our team was heading to Salou on tour. Taking the Channel Tunnel we decided (with some imbibed inspiration) that running a few warm-up drills in an empty carriage would be a great idea. Flash forward: a ball gets stuck in the door mechanism and we get a rather firm dressing down from a Frenchman for causing pretty serious delays...

    "They are such a well-run club financially that when they went down they kept the majority of players and strengthened the squad. What an acquisition the manager was as well, and they look comfortable. I’m pleased for them."

    Norwich and manager Alex Neil begin the day in 16th, three points clear of the relegation zone.

    Stoke 2-0 Man City

    All that wage budget and City's defence without Kompany is one of the poorest in the league. Embarrassing with the resources they have.

    "You know what? You don't have to do much to have an influence on this game. 

    "Extraordinary. Xherdan Shaqiri has only had about three touches and yet he's made two goals. It's a really lovely pass but the two Manchester City centre-backs were static."

    That hole that City are trying to dig themselves out of?

    It just got a little deeper.

    Xherdan Shaqiri spins away from a rash challenge in midfield from Fernando and dinks a finely weighted ball into the path of Marko Arnautovic, who applies a first-time finish for his and Stoke's second.

    My colleague Chris Osborne is providing live text commentary as City try and dig themselves out of a 1-0 shaped hole at the Britannia.

    Head over there for all the latest on what is shaping up to be a testing afternoon for the leaders.

    We are going to start the look-ahead to the 15:00 GMT kick-offs here with all the latest news, views and images from around the grounds.

    "Not many of us knew what to expect form Watford. They have brought in a lot of new players but defensively they have been very solid. 

    "You really have to give credit to manager Quique Flores. They've got a strong foundation, and that mixture of Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo up front means they are always likely to score goals."

    "You did wonder if this game was ever going to take off because the quality was so poor, but probably the first touch Xherdan Shaqiri gets and he flies past two defenders and zips the ball into the box.

    "But I think there are questions to be asked of Joe Hart. He could have come to collect that ball."

    You can follow live text commentary of that game right here.

    Xherdan Shaquiri - with a flash of a stepover - leaves Aleksandar Kolarov tackling thin air.

    A lovely dolly of a cross into the middle and Marko Arnautovic arrives at pace and ahead of Martin Demichelis to side-foot past a rooted Joe Hart.

    It is a fair shout from captain Joe Hart though.

    Kevin De Bruyne has been directly involved in 10 goals in his last 10 appearances for City, scoring four and setting up six.

    Joe Hart leds his team out into the tunnel at the Britannia, pausing briefly to slap hands with Stoke skipper Ryan Shawcross.

    Then he turns to bark instructions back to his team-mates.

    "More goals Kevin, keep assisting," he says.

    "Good idea skip," thinks De Bruyne.

    The ground staff at Stoke have decided that the surface needs sprinkling.

    One problem. The winds mean the jet of water are flying down the pitch at a rate of knots.

    You would need to put the sprinkler in about Row Q to water the upwind goalmouth.

    "Until recently Joe Hart hasn't had too much pressure on him, so it's good to have somebody like Jack Butland there, proving what he can do in the Premier League with Stoke. 

    "Joe will be aware of how well Jack's been doing, but for me he is still England's number one."
