Always a strange atmosphere when the kick off is so early. The teams were virtually silent in the tunnel and when they emerge it's to the sound of an Ian Bell cover drive, not a cup final.

Nobody really knows how to react at midday on a Sunday do they?

Serge Aurier's mascot is as tall as he is, which is always nice to see.

A bit of Star Wars music to get you in the mood at Wembley as Harry Kane lines up the teams in the tunnel. I was going to say the troops, but here's some actual troops, representing the armed forces as we get ready for a minute's Remembrance silence.

Beautiful day on the Fulham Road with fans already milling around. Mourinho, in a hotel somewhere, plotting his revenge no doubt after last year's double defeat here in the league and the cup.

The top five all play today in the Premier League and we have it all covered on 5 live sport from 11:55 GMT.

Tottenham Hotspur: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Rose, Dier, Winks, Sissoko, Son, Eriksen, Kane. Subs: Trippier, Nkoudou, Llorente, Dembele, Foyth, Davies, Whiteman.

Crystal Palace: Speroni, Ward, Fosu-Mensah, Dann, Sakho, Schlupp, Loftus-Cheek, Milivojevic, Cabaye, Zaha, Townsend. Subs: Tomkins, Hennessey, McArthur, Souare, Sako, Puncheon, Riedewald.

Referee: Kevin Friend

Paulo Gazzaniga may have waited nearly two years for a Premier League game but he's nowhere near the record books.

Palace defender Damien Delaney, not involved today, leads the way with a 4173 day gap between PL appearances!

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on talk of matching Arsenal's unbeaten record in 2003-04: "I would like to say to Arsene that this record belongs to him, we are not going to break it. He has to be calm.

"It was an exceptional team, being unbeatable in the Premier League is something fantastic. We don't want to break this record but we want to play good on Sunday and beat them."

Suprs v Palace is one of four big games today of course. Who's excited to see what sort of test Arsenal can pose the leaders?

The warm-ups continue at Wembley, which remains virtually empty at the moment. I'm hearing there are train problems. Sunday morning is not the ideal time for a game really is it?

Speaking of long waits...

Crystal Palace have failed to score in each of their last seven away Premier League games and have gone 646 minutes without a goal since Christian Benteke scored at Liverpool in April – the longest a team has gone without an away goal is nine matches – West Ham in January 2007.

Paul Foreman: Bilic was a terrible choice in the first place. Rafa Benitez or Koeman for me please. #bbcfootball, external right appointment this time.

Dave Neale: West Brom have 3 wins in last 23 games. 1 away win in 2017. This is despite big investment & being established in the Prem for many years.

Manchester United fans will be heading here this afternoon hoping their team can stretch their points advantage over Chelsea to seven points.

That said, Jose Mourinho’s recent away record at the top six isn’t good and United have conceded more Premier League goals (66) against Chelsea than against any other club.

Tucker M: Brad Friedel maybe?

It's perhaps a question for another day but who will now play behind Harry Kane for England? Raheem Sterling?

Mauricio Pochettino said that Dele Alli's injury was 'minor' but it's enough to keep him out of the England squad to face Germany and Brazil.

Tom Newland: Swansea team just lacking confidence. Once that win comes the rest will follow. They definitely don't need a change of manager.

Richard Bradley: Pulis has lost us fans, poss players too, surely the board soon. Not good on the eye, tactically inept, too many excuses. Goodbye

Roy Hodgson strides out into the Wembley centre-circle, the place still obviously has a fond place in the former England manager's heart.

"I have a lot of good memories from Wembley," he said. "Hopefully I'll have another one after today."
