    Crystal Palace 2-2 West Ham

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson: "What I've learned about my squad over last few games is that I've seen three good performances, three gutsy performances where people have showed they want to fight for the cause and not give up. They've played some good football at times too.

    "If keep ourselves within touching distance I believe we are going to get better and better. We have an advantage here because we have a fantastic crowd.

    "It is very rare that, when you're into the 95th or 96th minute, hardly anyone has left their seat when you're losing. That's Selhurst Park, that's our fans and I'm glad they've gone home with a point in their pocket."

    On Hammers keeper Joe Hart's performance: "He was outstanding. If he hadn't played we would have scored more. The two we did score he had no chance with."

    Watford 0-1 Stoke

    Stoke City

    Stoke City manager Mark Hughes: "For whatever reason, people talk about pressure; in hindsight the Man City result took a bit longer to get out our system, but we've done that this week and I'm pleased as punch.

    "We understood what they would try and do and it was food and drink for our centre halves. We had the better chances; with Saido [Berahino] and Charlie [Adam] at the end...he told me he lost his bearing.

    "But overall it's a good performance, we've had a tough set of fixtures. We aren't doing as badly as people make out and we'll be fine.

    "We could allow them to have possession of the ball and as long as we didn't make individual errors. They pushed us back in the second half as you might expect."

    On the free-kick routine which led to Darren Fletcher's winner: "Mark Bowen [assistant manager] does a lot of work on set plays...I signed it off. We practiced it on Friday and Fletch's efforts weren't as good as they were today. Thankfully it has won us the game."

    West Brom 2-3 Man City

    West Bromwich Albion

    West Brom boss Tony Pulis: "The lads really worked hard. There is a gulf in quality in certain areas of the pitch.

    "It's difficult against a team this good, but the lads will come out with a lot of credit.

    "I thought we would get chances irrespective of the City side.

    "We've got a few injured. It'll be tough game against Huddersfield."

    Watford

    Watford manager Marco Silva: "In the first-half we gave 45 minutes to our opponents. [We were] too slow and not in our normal image.

    "We gave one gift, the goal. In that moment we lost our focus and they scored a good goal. The second half was mostly our team, they played with 10 men behind the ball. It is normal when a team is in that position in the table.

    "We created some chances to change the score, but didn’t. We tried until the end.

    "We needed to do something different and in the first half we didn't do that."

    "If we had not got something then it would have been really really unjust. To lose a game where you only faced two shots and you've had 20-odd, and hit the post and had one cleared off the line, it is hard to take. I'm really pleased how the boys came back to turn it around.

    "We are happy with a point but I believe on the performance we deserved more."
