    Where we sit at Stamford Bridge is directly behind the dugouts. The pressure Antonio Conte puts on himself is incredible. How a manager puts that much pressure on himself for such long periods of time is amazing.

    I've seen him actually pick up his assistant and lead him down the touchline. He's got incredible enthusiasm.

    He feels pressure because he's desperate to win the title in his first season with Chelsea.

    David de Gea misses out altogether for Manchester United as Jose Mourinho makes five changes. Sergio Romero is in goal as Marouane Fellaini captains the side.

    Luke Shaw starts. presumably with Mourinho running alongside him for the whole game telling him where to run.

    Rian Hoskins: Eric Dier has done very well considering he has rotated between holding midfield and centre back so has shown intelligence. Spurs have strength in depth in all areas and a lot of that is down to good coaching. Unlikely to beat Chelsea though. Spurs will have a big job to hold onto these players but should be able to seeing as they are London club in Europe.

  5. No goals at the circuspublished at 12:28 British Summer Time 9 April 2017

    In response to criticism of his Stoke side, then-manager Alan Durban was misquoted as once saying:  'If you want entertainment, go to a circus', external  (He may actually have said 'watch a bunch of clowns').

    The relevance? Mr Durban moved on to Sunderland, where he was responsible for the last time they went more games without scoring than currently.

    With Sunderland, the circus reference sometimes feels far too apt as well. But entertainment is way down the list of priorities for both teams.

    If United fail to win at the Stadium of Light then it really might be all about the Europa League.

    For Sunderland, it's long felt about a return to the English Football League they left a decade ago. A drawn out, sorry saga.

    Every week Dele Alli seems to go up and up a level. He's 21 this month, he's so young and just starting off. 

    He has to be the top earner at the club and players like him have got to stay at the club to help them win the Premier League in the future.

    Spurs are the real deal. They're oozing class, they're staying in the title race and it's not easy when Chelsea are looking like they'll win the title race but they're much stronger mentally this season.

  11. The Alli questionpublished at 12:18 British Summer Time 9 April 2017

    Just how good is Dele Alli, how good can he be and how long will he stay at Spurs?

    That's the first question for the MOTD2 Extra panel...

    Tony Chedzey: Re: 11:58. Surely Pep understands that a keeper's primary role is to stop the ball going in the goal, not have good feet??

    Stu Waugh: Someone needs to explain to Pep what a goalkeeper is. Hasn't made a save in ages but it's ok cause he's good with his feet?

    Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo has now conceded seven goals from the past seven shots on target he has faced in the Premier League.  

    The last time he saved a shot on target in the league was against Burnley on 2 January.  

    But Pep Guardiola has backed Bravo, saying his footwork is "the best with Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer and Barcelona's Marc-Andre ter Stegen".

    Craig Shakespeare is yet to taste defeat as Leicester City manager.

    He's won every game in charge so far, but could go one better today by equalling the Premier League record for winning his first six games in charge, held by Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti.

    Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare:  "There hasn't been any Champions League talk. It hasn't been banned, it's just all about keeping the run going against Everton.

    "It'll be a tough game. They're a good side, strong at home, well organised and have a goal threat too."

    Everton were much improved at Old Trafford after their poor performance at the weekend in the Merseyside derby. They should have beaten Manchester United and maybe would have done if they had made the most of the counter-attacks they had in the second half.

    But the Toffees have already had a tough week and Ashley Williams' suspension means they are without another key player at the back.

    This is not a good time to play Leicester, who look unstoppable at the moment. The Foxes have got their swagger back and I think they will win.

    Lawro's prediction 0-2
