    The stats are unfairly used against Bravo. I am not saying he is the best goalkeeper in the world but the vast majority of goals he has conceded have been one on ones.

    With that you have got to ask questions of the defence and tactical acumen of the manager.

    Every time it is a one on one he is second favourite. He has not made many glaring mistakes that have led to a goal. You have to keep that in mind.

    Manchester United v Hull (20:00 GMT)

    This is the third meeting of these two sides in the last three weeks and I've covered them all. Hull have played very well for large periods of both. Oumar Niasse, a figure of some fun at Everton, was excellent in the last meeting. He makes things happen.

    Those clever choreographed celebration routines you see after a goal take some practice you know.

    Manchester United players Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard have been on Instagram showcasing their next groove, but is it the right time to do it?

    "I'm all for having a bit of fun on social media and stuff, but not when you are sixth in the league, and you are not in the Champions League positions and you are fighting,” former defender Rio Ferdinand said on BT Sport.

    “You have not won anything yet. Until you have won something you cannot go out and do stuff like that. I have dug out Arsenal players for doing stuff like this before and it would be wrong of me to not talk about the United players."

    If Hull get a penalty tonight it will be interesting to see who is on duty.

    Abel Hernandez missed two in about 70 seconds at Fulham at the weekend. And he's been dropped.

    West Ham v Man City (19:45 GMT)

    Manchester City beat Crystal Palace 3-0 in the FA Cup on Saturday, with Sergio Aguero out injured and Willy Caballero given a run-out in goal.

    Boss Pep Guardiola said: "All the 22 or 23 people [in the squad] deserve to play. It's a tough moment when you have to decide. I trust them [Claudio Bravo and Caballero] both. He played well in the cup and I've decided to give him some opportunities. 

    "Aguero is fit. He could not play in the cup game. We played the three guys up front against Crystal Palace and I decide to give the same continuity."

  18. Martial 'must perform better'published at 18:54 Greenwich Mean Time 1 February 2017

    Manchester United v Hull (20:00 GMT)

    Jose Mourinho's revelation Anthony Martial only did enough against Wigan on Sunday to earn a place on the Manchester United bench this evening did not go down well with some fans on social media.

    Martial got two assists in the 4-0 FA Cup win, yet Mourinho said he simply could not leave out man-of-the-match Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

    Yet, as those fans pointed out, Martial plays on the left, Mkhitaryan on the right.

    So, is the truth that Mourinho in generally unconvinced by the Frenchman, who cost United £36m when Louis van Gaal signed him from Monaco in 2015.

    Mourinho says he already knows the players he wants to sign in the summer. Martial has work to do in order to ensure he is not one of players to make way.

  20. We're not buyingpublished at 18:52 Greenwich Mean Time 1 February 2017

    The January transfer window closed at 23:00 GMT on Tuesday - with the top six sides in the Premier League spending a total of just £40,000 during that month.

    That was the sum paid by Arsenal to sign left-back Cohen Bramall - a former car factory worker - from non-league side Hednesford Town.

    Plenty of players left them on loan [full list of Tuesday's deals here] but the lack of arrivals in January showed that the top clubs will not sign players unless absolutely necessary.

    "Well-run clubs are not going to sign players for the sake of it," said Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy. "They will only do it if they can improve the team."
