Former Spurs striker on Final Score

“Steve McClaren has got Newcastle playing nice blend of football. They just need a little luck in the final third. Newcastle are taking the game to Arsenal. They’re not frightened of them at all.”

“I can’t recall Old Trafford being as quiet as this. There’s nothing for the fans to get excited about.”

Juan Mata's had a decent game so far for Manchester United, and the little Spaniard goes close again as he shoots at keeper Lukasz Fabianski. 

Ashley Young has been exploiting the right wing frequently in the first-half, but United are lacking potency in the box.

"Arsenal are finding it hard, but Newcastle are playing well. They are sitting deep and looking good on the counter attack and Steve McClaren will be the happier of the two managers."

Arsenal have been flat and uninspiring so far. Newcastle go moderately close as Aleksandar Mitrovic hooks an overhead kick straight at Petr Cech.

It was against the run of play, but Patrick van Aanholt opener against Aston Villa was a well-worked goal, if a massive deflection at the end.

Aston Villa a massive 12 points short of safety as it stands - but they've actually played pretty well so far this afternoon. Remi Garde's task grows by the minute.

Still no goals to report at a very, very wet Hawthorns. 

Stoke have four corners in quick succession but they lead to nothing for Mark Hughes' men, who are looking for their third win in a row in the league.

There may have been just one goal in the Premier League so far, but there’s been plenty in League One – three by Coventry alone as they lead 3-0 at Crewe. 

Top of the table Walsall are trailing 1-0 at home to Rochdale, while title challengers Gillingham, who will be hoping to close the gap between them and Walsall, are leading Bradford 2-0.

Unlucky for Wayne Rooney. 

A beautiful ball in from the right from Ashley Young, and United captain Rooney rises high to head it down but it's stopped dead in its tracks. Angel Rangel ushers the ball into the safe hands of Swansea keeper Lukasz Fabianski. 

Another brilliant chance for Bournemouth! Josh King wins it on the right, beats his man and cuts back a perfect pass for Dan Gosling. He's 10 yards out, central, unmarked - but he loses his cool and his technique, leaning back and skying it over.

At the other end Jamie Vardy screws one wide of the target as the Foxes hit on the break. 

A bitty performance from Arsenal so far, but man-of-the-moment Mesut Ozil does start a dangerous looking counter which is ended when Jack Colback scythes down Olivier Giroud. Cynical. Take one for the team...

"In the last 10 minutes, Swansea have played the better football. It’s better football then United have played at any stage so far."

Man United are on the attack and Juan Mata takes the quickest free-kick in history (maybe) after Anthony Martial is brought down just outside the box. 

Mata has a go at goal but he just ends up shooting straight at Lukasz Fabianski.
