"You know it [Chelsea striker Diego Costa being hot-headed] is a weakness. If you're playing Chelsea, ruffling Costa up and being a bit aggressive, you can put him off his game. 

"Ryan Shawcross did that brilliantly against him and he came off after 20 minutes injured."

"Maybe the boost of a midweek's work well done will see both teams playing with freedom and a thirst for goals?

"We can only hope - but normally you can count the goals scored between these two on the fingers of one finger.

"Ten of the last 16 meetings have finished either 1-0 or 0-0 and there have been only three goals scored in the last five editions.

"I'm not taking my abacus."

"'They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger - and it did nearly kill me.' That's how Steve McClaren recounts his duel with Slaven Bilic at Wembley in 2007.

"Croatia denied England a place at Euro 2008 and covered themselves in glory. McClaren, infamously, covered himself with a brolly.

"Newcastle secured their survival in May by beating West Ham. Now, after five games without a win, they are once again in danger of being washed away by the relegation tide."

Guy Mowbray
Match of the Day commentator at Etihad Stadium

"Something strange happened on Wednesday - Manchester City failed to score at home for the first time in almost a year.

"Last time it happened they did it twice in a row, but that's unlikely to be the case again versus a Palace side with a few problems to solve.

"The biggest is scoring themselves, having gone four games without a goal or (obviously!) a win. It's no coincidence that the barren run has come whilst Yannick Bolasie's unpredictable, creative spark has been missing."

Steve Bower
Match of the Day commentator at Stamford Bridge

"Everton have been resilient on their travels this season and will feel this could be the weekend to end their dreadful record at Stamford Bridge.

"Guus Hiddink has brought a much-needed calming effect to Chelsea but their defensive frailties are, at times, still there for all to see.

"If Diego Costa can channel his aggression sensibly , external and upstage Romelu Lukaku, a Chelsea win takes them to within a point of Everton."

Martin Fisher
Match of the Day commentator at Vitality Stadium

"Bournemouth have lost their way since Christmas - the incredible highs of beating Chelsea and Manchester United replaced by a winless run of four games in which they've scored once.

"Hence the expensive acquisitions of Benik Afobe and Lewis Grabban. Of course, the latter joined from Norwich, so he has to play in this one, doesn't he?

"The Canaries have already lost seven games on the road but they did win at the Vitality Stadium last January in Alex Neil's first game in charge.

"That victory set them on their way to the Premier League. A repeat will be a huge boost in keeping them there."

"I think a whole host of teams could still win the title, and this is a really big result for Tottenham. They responded so well today after falling behind, and this big win will heap pressure on the likes of Manchester City.

"Tottenham ran riot after Sunderland switched off. They gained complete control of the game and ran away with it in the second half."

Turns out that Lawro has been annoying Hammers fans with his predictions this season...

"After the stick I've been getting from West Ham fans over my predictions, I should probably go for them to win 8-0," says our man.

However, he doesn't...

Fancy yourself as a footballing version of Mystic Meg? Here's your chance to prove that you can see into the Premier League future.

You can have a guess at the scores of all 10 top-flight fixtures this weekend by playing our Predictor game.

And the more successful you are, the higher up the league table your team will go. Stoke supporters currently lead the way, while Aston Villa fans - like their beleaguered players - prop up the table.

What are you waiting for?!

Emphatic in the end from Tottenham, who fell behind to Patrick van aarnholt's goal but hit back through Christian Eriksen (two), Mousa Dembele and Harry Kane. They are now four points behind leaders Arsenal. Job done. Sunderland remain 19th. Work to do.

Final Score

"It's been all Spurs in this second half, and Sunderland have simply crumbled. Whenever Tottenham have attacked they have created opportunities and they deserve to be 4-1 up."

Nottingham Forest have gone retro with their programme today. Lovely stuff.

All over at Hillsborough. Two Gary Hooper goals have pushed Wednesday into the play-off places. I'm sure we'll hear more about the Leedsgoal that was awarded and then taken away, especially from United boss Steve Evans.

Follow it here.

"There is no doubt that Tottenham are short in numbers when it comes to their frontline. I do think they need to add a striker in January, just to back up Harry Kane. It mighty only be a young prospect they purchase, but I do think Spurs need to go into the market. 

"Of course, strikers can cost a lot of money..."
