It's a beautiful day in Manchester, and trust me you can't say that too often in April. Hull in great form, though not on the road.

If they could come away with anything today their chances of staying up would be hugely increased. 

Peter Crouch is receiving an award to mark his 100 Premier League goals. It's a miniature statue of...Peter Crouch.

Therefore it's about three feet tall...

The teams coming out in Stoke gives us a glimpse of the Liverpool squad numbers. There's a 66 and a 58 playing...

I love seeing young, British players coming through and get a chance, especially at a club like Liverpool. There's a lot of pressure on the young lads but I hope they do well.

To put on a Liverpool shirt so young, with that pressure, I say good luck to the kids.

As always, our expert Mark Lawrenson has predicted the results of the weekend's games.

This week, he thinks Liverpool will drop points at Stoke, is backing Tottenham, Manchester City, West Brom and West Ham to pick up home wins, with Burnley and Chelsea to have some success on the road.

This week's challenger to Lawro is singer Amy Macdonald.

Check out Lawro's and Amy Macdonald's full predictions on our football page.

Stevey Gee: Always great to see fans give up at the first hurdle and be defeated before the games started.. LFC "FANS".

Ash: Klopp might expect Stoke to defend. Three man defence against counters. Wingers and wing-backs for width and crosses at Origi?

KZS: Depressing selection by Klopp. The lack of transfers in January will cost us dear. Have CL footy in our grasp but could blow it.

Which particular Pep curve ball has upset you Dave?Bravo back in goal? Navas at full-back? Delph?

Spring has sprung, hasn't it? The Grand National, the Masters, the start of the cricket season - surefire signs that summer is on the way.

It's ruddy glorious at all the Premier League games - all short-sleeved shirts and sunglasses.

There's one chap at West Ham in a Union flag bucket hat. Too far.

If Bilic wins today it puts West Ham on 35 points. They're edging towards the finish line. Let's be positive. They're playing at home. The concern if you're a West Ham fan is the goals they're leaking in. We know they can score goals. They need a result and if they can get a result, it doesn't matter how they get it, it will ease the pressure.

Graham Ball: Well I hope Spurs do it this year as if they're playing their home games at Wembley next year they'll have no chance!

Grant Kennett: Spurs untouchable at home in the league. But away from home and in Europe, a different story. Let's not get carried away

Sho Rahman: Spurs looking like a serious serious team. Dreading it when United have to go to White Hart Lane. 

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino speaking to Sky Sports:

[On what impressed him] "Wow. Many things. We played really well, with a very good energy and very clear in the way that we tried to beat Watford. 

"The team deserve full credit because the energy and the way they played was fantastic. 4-0 but we deserved some more goals. I'm very pleased and very proud of that performance.

"It's important that we compete and are able to win games. We're second and the gap now is four but Chelsea have one game more to play. We try to win and be ready for Chelsea."

The Liverpool line-up is causing a major storm among fans out there. You don't win anything with kids and all that...

Tom McCarron: Liverpool's lack of squad depth couldn't be more exposed today and it's the main reason we'll miss out on the champions league places.

Mhmd: With this Liverpool line up today the season's definitely over for us now 

Dennis Ethan: I don't think Liverpool can win at Stoke with that line-up. Klopp has bottled it even before the ball is kicked 

If you haven't seen it already (or even if you have!), you can catch up with the best of the action from the  FA People's Cup  regional semi-finals  here.

Here's a taster...

This time last year Chris Wilder won promotion from League Two with Northampton Town - today he can win promotion from League One with Sheffield United - at Northampton.

Quite some 12 months...

Spurs did score three excellent long-range goals in the first half, and that was pretty much Watford done.

Watford

Watford boss Walter Mazzarri speaking to Sky Sports:

"I was very happy with how we started. Unfortunately they had three great shots from outside and scored three goals. In football you have to score and don't concede. In the end the power of their team came out and in the second half our motivation was lower

"We had to close them down. The only thing we could have done was close them down more, but other than that I couldn't ask more of my players.

"Today we were unlucky because their three shots in the first half were from three great players and they scored all three."

Final Score
