    Crystal Palace have collected just 12 points from their 22 Premier League games in 2016 (W2 D6 L14).

    A stinker of a year.

    Stoke v Tottenham (15:00 BST)

    New £30m Spurs signing Moussa Sissoko is only on the bench today and goes through his warm-up exercises on the fringe of the group. Harry Kane slams a shot on target from range. Will his goal drought end this afternoon?

    It should be an open game later on. Leicester are steadying the ship after a turbulent start.

    Claudio Ranieri has done a really good job in figuring out what is going to work for him this season but I think Liverpool can finish in the top four this season.

    Liverpool should have beaten Spurs and with the squad they have got they should kick on. To do that you have to win games like this.

    Liverpool v Leicester (17:30 BST)

    Liverpool should set a new record for home attendance in the Premier League later on thanks to their new stand opening at Anfield. And look at the size of it! Massive.

    The new, improved Anfield will hold 54,000 when full. 

    The highest attendance recorded at Anfield is 61,905  while the highest average - which you'd think must be in danger of going - is 48,127, set in 1978.

    Nicklas Bendtner to Nottingham Forest!? It's a weird one. Forest have just let Dexter Blackstock go and signed Bendtner and I don't see the point.

    He has had lots of disciplinary problems and he has not scored many goals in recent years.

    He has been at big clubs, there is clearly something there. But it is his last chance, and Forest might get a player who knows that. Only time will tell.

    It could be interesting seeing the Lord of Sherwood Forest.

    Who's the most dangerous player in the air in the Premier League. Andy Carroll?

    Right club. Wrong man. In fact Michail Antonio has scored a league-high eight headed goals since the start of last season.

    Indeed, no English midfielder has scored more Premier League goals than Antonio since August 2015 (10, level with Dele Alli).

    Arsene Wenger has said that he now has a team of men, not potential.

    But what stands out from that is that if he knew he didn't have enough experience in the side why didn't he sort that out five years ago?

    Yes they have more maturity now. Aaron Ramsey and Theo Walcott have grown into men who should be winning things.
