    Southampton v Chelsea (15:00 GMT)

    Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has not spoken to Chelsea counterpart Guss Hiddink since the fallout to the latter's reappointment as Holland manager in 2014 - a job Koeman perhaps expected to be offered.

    But Koeman says: "The biggest influence in my career as a player but also as a coach is Johan Cruyff.

    "He had a big part of that, but also Guus Hiddink showed me when I was a player at PSV in detail what you need to play on a high level.

    "I always had a good understanding with him. Of course, we struggled a little bit after the situation with the national team two years ago. But that's the past and I'm still in a good understanding and relationship with Guus. I'm looking forward to seeing him on Saturday."

    West Ham 1-0 Sunderland

    Michail Antonio celebrated his goal earlier by 'doing a Homer' - spinning around on the floor for non-watchers of the cartoon - so where did the idea come from?

    “The celebration came to me in the hotel room," he says. "The boys were like 'you’ll never do it'. It had to be done"

    Leicester v Norwich (15:00 GMT)

    The little Leicester and Norwich mascots are having some fun in the King Power tunnel. They're both patting their heads and rubbing their stomachs. Great to see that the youth of today are still enjoying that one...

    Respective captains Wes Morgan and Russell Martin will be joining them in a few minutes...

    (In the tunnel that is, not patting their heads and rubbing their stomachs.)

    "Leicester are adept at welcoming teams on to them. I think Norwich aren't strong enough to play that defensive game and will go at them. 

    "I think Leicester will win the league, they've got a run of winnable games. Every challenge they have risen to it."

    Norwich boss Alex Neil's best bet here is probably to just try to shut up shop and try and pinch a positive result because if they open up against Leicester then the Foxes will take them apart.

    I just don't see Norwich as having the defensive ability or the mental strength they will need to get something out of the game.

    Wolves 2-1 Derby

    Another full-time whistle has just peeped in the West Midlands...

    It's finished in the early Championship kick-off at Molineux, where Wolves have ended a seven-match run without a victory - and eased some of the pressure on manager Kenny Jackett - by checking Derby's promotion push.

    George Saville scored twice, his first goals for Wolves, who climb to 12th. Derby stay fifth.

    West Ham 1-0 Sunderland

    All over at the Boleyn Ground. And it has been a miserable return for Sam Allardyce. His Sunderland team go down to his old employers after Michail Antonio's strike.

    Second-bottom Sunderland are still thick in relegation gloom, one point adrift of safety. The 'Ammers are 'appy - they're up to fifih.

    Imagine Newcastle versus Burton as a league fixture. It could well happen because while Newcastle are struggling in the Premier League, Burton are marching towards the Championship. 

    The League One table toppers host Walsall today looking to bounce back from defeat at Southend.

    Elsewhere, in-form Wigan - second in the league - host Bury while Sheffield United head to Rochdale looking for a win that could move them closer to the play-off places.

    West Ham 1-0 Sunderland.

    Wondering how it is going in the West Ham-Sunderland game? The Hammers still lead, somehow. Sunderland have not just been knocking on the door, but hitting it in a rather aggressive manner that would wake the neighbours. How are they still behind?

    Adrift at the bottom of the Premier League, three wins all season, beaten 6-0 in their last outing...and now Aston Villa boss Remi Garde says not all of his players are giving everything.

    "I don't see the commitment from all the players every day in training sessions," said Garde, ahead of today's game at Stoke.

    "Sometimes it's about fighting and commitment. It's the first thing professional players should have on the pitch. How can you be confident if you're not fighting?"

    “As a back four Southampton weren't comfortable and conceding too many goals. Going to a back five, they can see where the danger is coming from and all know what they are doing.

    "It's really hard to break down the three centre halves. When you do get through, if you are lucky enough to get a shot on goal, Fraser Forster is there playing so well."
