    Respectful and poignant. Perfectly observed.

    Every Premier League game this weekend will observe a minute's silence to remember the players of Brazilian team Chapecoense who died in a plane crash earlier this week. Right now, grounds are falling silent.

    Players are emerging from tunnels up and down the country. Lots of flags being waved at Stoke, lots of mascots shaking hands at West Brom, lots of gel in Harry Kane's hair at Spurs.

    This second season was always going to be hard for Leicester. The league is your bread and butter, but this season the Foxes' priorities seem to have been elsewhere. 

    Of course they key to them is Vardy and Mahrez, but in the last two games they have only passed the ball twice to each other. Perhaps other teams have worked them out?

    Sunderland v Leicester (15:00 GMT)

    Injured Sunderland midfielder Jack Rodwell is at the game, smartly dressed in a suit and a red and white tie. He's holding a small child, one that I presume belongs to him.

    The disappointment for Tottenham has been the run of form recently and they haven't reached the heady heights they manged last season. The intensity and consistency of performance hasn't been there.

    Sunderland v Leicester (15:00 GMT)

    Further north, the players have completed their warm-ups and are heading back to the dressing rooms at the Stadium of Light. The sky is quite grey, the floodlights are already doing their thing. The stadium is pretty empty too. Still plenty of time to finish the pie and Bovril, mind.

  11. 'Basic errors'published at 14:46 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2016

    Crystal Palace v Southampton (15:00 GMT)

    If you're conceding goals every week you're not going to win many football matches, and that's the case for Palace at the moment. 

    Looking back at all those goals they conceded last week against Swansea, they were all basic errors. But that also means the should be straightforward to fix. 

    However, at the moment, whenever the ball goes into the Crystal Palace box, Alan Pardew on the touchline must be having kittens.

    Stoke v Burnley (15:00 GMT)

    This flat-cap wearing seems to be a national trend. Now there's a chap wearing a tartan one in the Potteries. Stoke legend Nello, Neil Baldwin, is down on the pitch and being introduced to the fans. If you've not seen 'Marvellous', the BBC drama about his life, seek it out. Life-affirming stuff.

    Furthermore, there's one Watford fan wearing a quite outstanding flat cap. It's the perfect accompaniment to his replica shirt and gillet. That headwear is right out of Last of the Summer Wine.

    At The Hawthorns, Watford midfielder Ben Watson is doing a wonderful impression of Steve Sidwell. He could be his little brother. It's chilly. Visiting fans are cuddling to keep warm. I'm not sure they like being so far north.

    It looks absolutely glorious at Selhurst Park, with sunshine bathing the ground and the trees poking above the top of the stand, away in the distance. Sunny might not the deposition of Palace boss Alan Pardew, who has seen the Eagles lose six in a row. A good time for your former club to visit, Pards?

    Three changes for Crystal Palace from their insane 5-4 defeat by Swansea last weekend.

    Manchester City 1-3 Chelsea

    City end an game to forget with only nine on the pitch after, and you won't believe this, Fernandinho pushes Cesc Fabregas over a wall and into the crowd. Honestly. It looks like Fabregas might have started it with a cheeky slap. It was all part of an ugly melee. We haven't heard the last of this one.
