  1. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:05 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2016

    West Ham 1-0 Tottenham

    Great hit! Toby Alderweireld fires in a shot from 25 yards, plenty of swerve on it but Adrian just about shovels it out.

    Harry Kane is there for the rebound but he can't get a telling connection on it...

    "Not much but at least Spurs are spending time in West Ham United's half.

    "You have to think Mauricio Pochettino had some very clear - and very short - messages for his players at half-time.

    "And while we can criticise Spurs, let's give credit to West Ham United, who have been outstanding so far. How the home fans are loving it."

    West Ham 1-0 Spurs

    Paul Ince
    Former MK Dons manager on BBC Radio 5 live

    "Every year the season starts and you look at teams like Manchester City and Chelsea, just like you do with Real and Barcelona in Spain.

    “But it’s great to have the likes of Leicester and Tottenham in the mix this year. This is a great opportunity for both of those teams because it won’t come again next season.”

    West Ham 1-0 Tottenham

    Spurs haven't had a shot on target yet. Which, when you're 1-0 down, is not going to cut the mustard.

    Do Tottenham have a Plan B? Do many teams in the Premier League to be honest?

    With all due respect (ie, none) Arsenal will have targeted a home game against Swansea as a chance to close up at the top. WIth Spurs facing a tough game at West Ham and Leicester already dropping points this week surely this has to be a home win?

    Oh and that is close! Alexis Sanchez spins to shoot and fire a yard or two side...

    "Players will be thinking I might not be here next year or this manager won’t be here so we don’t need to play for him. The new manager announcement might have unsettled City."

    West Ham 1-0 Tottenham

    Spurs find a good ball in the final third as Kieran Trippier flings in a cross to the front post but Erik Lamela gets his angles all wrong, closing his eyes and heading well wide. Never looked like threatening the goal.

    Is a 0-0 draw a good result for Newcastle tonight? It would take them out of the relegation zone. Still hardly any action to speak of.

    In the last three meetings between West Ham and Spurs there have been five goals netted in the last 10 minutes of matches.

    For the second time tonight Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris allows a backpass to go right across his toes and almost pays the price. He just about gets a clearance away. 

  14. Arsenal lack a leaderpublished at 20:50 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2016

    Arsenal 1-1 Swansea

    Steve Claridge
    On BBC Radio 5 Live

    “There are no other teams that can dominate like Arsenal do, yet they go into the break at 1-1. They had a spell of 10 minutes where they don’t dominate and they conceded. 

    "Leadership off the ball is what they lack.”

    We asked who you thought would win the Premier League - and it was a tight one, perhaps influenced by Tottenham's tricky first half.

    Leicester came out on top with 33%, Spurs a close second with 32%.

    The others? Well, they just made up the numbers (quite literally).

    Slaven Bilic drags a West Ham beanie hat across his head as he stoops through a bubble storm to bark out some orders. He must be delighted with his side so far.

    And as two games end, three more get back under way. Back playing at Arsenal and Stoke, West Ham will be under way imminently.
