    Crystal Palace now have to dig deep. They need to roll their sleeves up now and try to grind out results. The confidence drains when you have bad results but individuals need to look into the mirror. At the moment Palace look dire.

    Crystal Palace v Chelsea (15:00 BST)

    Crystal Palace's players are all stood around in a circle like they are about to start the Hokey Cokey. Left foot in, left foot out, shake it all about. That looks like a fun warm-up.

    But the serious business awaits. They need a goal. They need a win. Palace are rooted to the bottom, five points off the pace.

    A bit of classic JT is blasting out of the Etihad Stadium PA system as the two sets of players warm up. That's classic Justin Timberlake, not classic John Terry of course.

    City's players are all wearing t-shirts with 'Mendy 22' on the back in tribute to their injured team-mate Benjamin Mendy. A warm gesture? Or OTT? You decide...

    Injured Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton, speaking to Football Focus: "I think you have an idea about how to handle Andy Carroll. The manager's approach is more on how we go about but obviously you are aware of the threats.

    "I have played against Andy a few times. He is a physical presence, and I remember him putting a hat-trick past me in a Manchester United against Newcastle reserve team game so I have been aware of him a long time. Aerially he is top draw. We will try to stop him but also focus on our game."

    Swansea have pretty much been on an upward trajectory since Roberto Martinez took them to the League One title back in 2008 but their seventh season in the top-flight has been hard going so far with three defeats in their three Premier League games at the Liberty Stadium.

    Although by definition today's game isn't a "must win" you do feel there is a lot of pressure on Swansea to get the victory against a Huddersfield team that haven't won in their past six games in all competitions.

    Two changes also for Huddersfield, as David Wagner brings in Philip Billing and Scott Malone for Chris Lowe and Aaron Mooy.

    Mooy played for Australia against Syria in a World Cup play-off in Sydney on Tuesday, four days after playing in the first leg in Malaysia.

    Burnley boss Sean Dyche keeps faith the side which beat Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park last time out. That means Chris Wood starts as a lone striker in a 4-4-1-1 system with Jeff Hendrick in behind him.

    Kick-off: 3pm, you say?

    It's Tottenham's first Saturday 3pm at Wembley. Almost unbelievably, it's also their first home Saturday 3pm of 2017!

    OK, they had one against Wycombe in the Cup at the end of January but, in the league, you need to go back to December 2016 for the last time Spurs started at home at the right and proper time.

    However, Guardiola claimed the Argentine had taken his words the wrong way and that he never intended to be disrespectful to Spurs.

    The former Spain midfielder responded by saying he thought Pochettino - who managed Espanyol between 2009 and 2012 while the former Barcelona boss was in charge of their city rivals - had "made a mistake".

    "Never in my career have I not been respectful," said Guardiola.

    "When I talked about Harry Kane's team, it was because Harry Kane was scoring a lot of goals and I know perfectly that Tottenham are not Harry Kane alone.

    "So I think last season, the person who spoke most about appreciating the way Tottenham play was me.

    "Tottenham are one of the best teams playing. So I'm really disappointed if he said that."

    Kane Hotspur? Or Tottenham Harry? Either way, the suggestion that Spurs are a one-man team, with that one man being striker Harry Kane, has angered the club's manager Mauricio Pochettino.

    It was insinuated by Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, who described Spurs as the "Harry Kane team", external when discussing his side's title rivals.

    "[Guardiola] was part of the big success at Barcelona and I never said it was 'the Lionel Messi team,'" Pochettino said on Friday.

    "It doesn't affect me but in the reality it was very disrespectful for many people.

    "Everyone deserves to be recognised. When many people took the words, it was very sad and for many players that are here it is strange but, in my case, I didn't take it in a bad way.

    "It wasn't disrespectful to myself. For a lot of people it was unnecessary. But we need to move on."
