    What is the most remarkable thing you've ever seen on a football pitch?

    Incredible stuff on football pitch. Leicester Junior league, early 80's, had to clear snow off pitch. Made Huge Snowman, which froze solid in Left Back position by the time we had changed into kit. Snowman made at least 2 tackles throughout game.

    This will be the first top-flight meeting between Burnley and Huddersfield since March 1971. The Clarets won that game 1-0.

    Huddersfield's only league win in nine attempts at Turf Moor since the clubs last met in the top flight came in the Championship in February 2013, when James Vaughan scored the only goal.

    Burnley will be hoping it is not a West Yorkshire double for them this afternoon after they were eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Leeds midweek.

    Sean Dyche will be even more gravelly than normal if that happens.

    Burnley v Huddersfield (15:00 BST)

    Burnley's Jon Walters remains out with a knee problem, while ex-Huddersfield striker Nahki Wells is not yet available following ankle surgery.

    Jeff Hendrick is pushing for a recall following a recent thigh injury.

    Huddersfield's Danny Williams has been ruled out with a fractured foot, joining Steve Mounie, Collin Quaner, Kasey Palmer and Jon Gorenc Stankovic on the sidelines.

    Laurent Depoitre and Rajiv van La Parra are both doubtful with muscle strains.

  4. Zidane and sonpublished at 10:58 British Summer Time 23 September 2017

    Alaves v Real Madrid (15:15 BST)

    Speaking of Zinedine Zidane...

    The Real Madrid coach will go up against his son Enzo Fernandez for the first time when he takes his struggling Spanish champions to Alaves on Saturday.

    Midfielder Enzo, 22, left Real's reserve team in the close season in search of first-team football at Alaves, where he has made two La Liga appearances so far.

    "I hope he (Enzo) doesn't score, we've got to look after our interests," said the 1998 World Cup winner.

    "I don't know if it'll be strange to be up against him but I'm happy for him because he's doing a good job.

    Zidane's 19-year-old son Luca is also in the Real squad as third-choice goalkeeper, and like Enzo, he has played for the French Under-19 team, while his younger brothers Theo (15) and Elyaz (11) also play in Real youth sides.

    We'll have a live text on the Alaves v Real game and others this afternoon.

    West Ham v Tottenham (12:30 BST)

    West Ham will auction shirts worn today to raise money in aid of the Mexican earthquake.

    Mexican striker Javier Hernandez, 29, is leading the #YoXMexico initiative alongside international team-mate Miguel Layun.

    The Hammers will double the proceeds, which will help deliver food and supplies to victims of the disaster.

    "Seeing the suffering of our compatriots has been very painful," said Hernandez.

    Andy Alderman: I'm an EFL fan and I rarely go to PL games but I was lucky enough to see Rooney's goal from the halfway line v West Ham.

    This is a fine start, but we need more. Come on people, let us know what is the most remarkable thing you have ever seen on a football pitch. Doesn't need to be goals, doesn't need to be professional. It can be absolutely anything.

    West Ham v Tottenham (12:30 BST)

    Yep, West Ham v Tottenham is the early game today. That'll do.

    Plenty of talking points in this one, not least Spurs' need to get back to winning ways and West Ham's desperate requirement for points.

    The Hammers have won three of the past four home league meetings with Tottenham, keeping a clean sheet in each victory.

    They could win three consecutive Premier League home fixtures against Spurs for only the second time. They enjoyed a run of four in a row from 1997 to 1999.

    West Ham v Tottenham (12:30 BST)

    West Ham captain Mark Noble is available, having made his return from a knee injury in the midweek EFL Cup win at Cheltenham.

    Midfielder Manuel Lanzini will not feature despite a return to training, while Pedro Obiang is missing after picking up a knock at West Brom.

    Spurs full-back Ben Davies is set to be recalled after dropping to the bench last week because of an ankle injury.

    Victor Wanyama, Erik Lamela and Danny Rose all remain sidelined by injuries.

    You can't take it with you. Unless, that is, you're Diego Costa, who is so smitten with the nightclub he built for himself in the conservatory of his Surry home.

    I'm not exactly what this entails - is he just removing the glitter ball and coloured lights or is the full beer-soaked sticky dancefloor and paper towel-handing, aftershave squirty bloke coming with him too?

    Most remarkable thing you've seen on a football pitch

    That wonder goal - from Baroka FC goalkeeper Oscarine Masuluke - has just been nominated, along with 10 other strikes, for Fifa's Puskas award for best goal at the 2017 Best Fifa Football Awards.

    Following on from it, why don't you get in touch and let us know - what is the most remarkable thing you have ever seen on a football pitch?

    Doesn't need to be something brilliant, just remarkable. It doesn't even need to be actual football. Former Leeds striker Habib Habibou once threw a duck off a field.

  15. Get in!published at 10:11 British Summer Time 23 September 2017

    Here's something to wake you up this Saturday morning. An overhead kick. By a goalkeeper. In the 96th minute. Legendary stuff.

    You can forgive him the celebration, which is a bit Colin Mochrie T-rex. You know, Colin Mochrie. From Who's Line Is It Anyway. It was on in the 80s and 90s. Channel 4. Oh forget it.

    Media caption,

    'You have never seen anything like that in your life'

    I expect I'll probably tire around the 3pm mark and need to be replaced by some fresher fingers. Hopefully, between now and then I can show a bit of creativity, maybe go off on a mazy paragraph or two, a bit like a journo Paolo Wanchope.

    Anyway, here are the Premier League fixtures for today (15:00 BST kick-off unless stated)...

    West Ham v Spurs (12:30)

    Burnley v Huddersfield

    Everton v Bournemouth

    Morning all.

    I'll be honest with you, after doing a live text for the Carabao Cup this week, I thought I'd be back on the bench this weekend, making way for the big-hitters. But no, here I am. Two shifts in five days.

    Take that Sergio, Mesut and Romelu!
