    Bournemouth v Everton (15:00 GMT)

    Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "I will have to make quite a few late calls on a number of players ahead of this one, whether they return for this game, the next game or in two games time I don't think any injury is serious.

    "It is frustrating that we've had a lot of injuries at a time when we've had a lot of games. Our injury record has been good until the last few weeks."

    Everton manager Sam Allardyce on signing a striker in January: "Players already here, like Sandro (Ramirez), haven't picked up the pace of the Premier League - he hasn't been able to show what he showed in Spain.

    "I think Oumar (Niasse), while he has scored, hasn't made a regular place in the Everton side.

    "And young (Dominic) Calvert-Lewin is battling away. I think he's got a bright future, but I don't think we can rely on him week in and week out at the moment."

    Watford v Swansea (15:00 GMT)

    When Paul Clement was sacked by Swansea is there anyone who immediately thought Carlos Carvalhal would be his successor?

    The Portuguese manager, having left Sheffield Wednesday last weekend, now gets his personal promotion to the Premier League. He came close with the Owls after reaching the Championship play-offs for the past two seasons.

    Watford halted their poor run of form with victory over Leicester on Boxing Day, and will look to end 2017 in the top 10.

    Swansea will go into the new year in the relegation zone - the question is whether Carvalhal can take them to a place outside it come the end of the season in May?

    Watford v Swansea (15:00 GMT)

    Watford head coach Marco Silva: "Confidence is very important. We can do everything in the same way and I can talk good things for our players to win some confidence, but the most important thing is results.

    "That's clear for all the clubs, not only us, and of course the win gives us these things. We need to show the same spirit and attitude to face Swansea.

    "What can help us against them is if we play well and show the attitude and commitment as a team. That's what will give us an advantage."

    Swansea manager Carlos Carvalhal: "Marco [Silva] is a good coach and their assistant coach [Joao Pedro Sousa] is my big friend. He is from my city Braga and we played together. Watford are a very organised team but we will fight for the three points.

    "It will be the same against every opponent because I've never played in my career to draw any game. I always try to win, even when I was a coach in the third division in Portugal and we played teams from the top division."

    Watford ended a run of four successive defeats when they came from a goal down to beat Leicester and I think Hornets boss Marco Silva will have another victory to celebrate here now they have got that bad spell out of their system.

    The Reds easily saw off Swansea on Boxing Day, helped by a top-class Philippe Coutinho goal in the first few minutes, and I think home advantage will be massive for them in this game - although Leicester are far more dangerous opponents.

    I was surprised to see them slip to defeat against Watford after taking the lead and the Foxes have only picked up one point in their past three matches, although that was against Manchester United.

    Huddersfield Town head coach David Wagner on players being sold in the transfer window: "I think clubs have heard my message from last week.

    "Save your phone calls, because we're not selling any player that we want to keep here come January."

    Burnley manager Sean Dyche on his side's good form: "I don't think the fans here are too drunk on it all.

    "They know there's a reality to it. We have to work for everything we get.

    "From the outside I think the fans are enjoying the ride but I think they're well aware there's no gimmes and we have to earn the right in everything we do."

    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on Leicester: "They are still a wonderful counter-attacking team. The first goal they scored against United was, 'wow', a fantastic pass from Gray and Mahrez was in behind waiting for Vardy. It looks quite easy.

    "They are fine-tuned and a good football-playing side. That may be the biggest change since Claude Puel [came] in."

    Leicester City head coach Claude Puel on Liverpool: "They are a great team with good defenders, midfield and attacking players. They are a complete team. We have to look after our play and try to play our game against them.

    "We had good opportunities and good results recently against big teams like against Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham. We like the big occasion."

    I don’t get why people are so surprised about the money spent to buy Virgil Van Dijk. The money spent in football was only going to become bigger. And Van Dijk is a class centre-back.

    Newcastle v Brighton (15:00 GMT)

    Match of the Day commentator at St. James’ Park

    After unsurprisingly succumbing to their fifth successive home defeat at the hands of Manchester City in midweek, Newcastle can ill afford for the depressing run to extend to six.

    Losing to the runaway league leaders is one thing, losing to a team close by in the table is quite another; especially as a win against Brighton would take them above their opponents.

    The visitors bring a similarly bleak run of four successive away defeats to St James' Park, all without scoring.

    It's a fact which only accentuates why, despite the constant talk of the need for reinforcements, that there will be an expectation of a more positive outcome by those who were prepared to accept the team's pragmatic and defensive approach on Wednesday.

    Brighton are only three points above Newcastle in the table but I just don't see Chris Hughton's side getting relegated - I never really have.

    It is different with Newcastle, and I am little bit worried for them. The takeover of the club is turning into a long-running saga and they need to bring in new players in January.

    They have Rafael Benitez as manager, which is a huge positive, but who is he talking to about potential signings? Is it the current regime or the new people? It is a very difficult situation for them.

    It's a toss up as to which of these clubs has provided the biggest surprise success story of the season so far.

    Is it humble Huddersfield, sitting 11th, six points clear of the relegation zone after a 45-year absence from the top flight?

    Or unfancied Burnley, punching above their weight and hanging on to the shirt-tails of the top six and dreaming of Europe?

    Huddersfield versus Burnley doesn't scream Premier League glamour and many neutrals might struggle to name many of the players on view, but in an age where money speaks volumes their respective success brings a warm glow to romantics everywhere.

    I suppose that raises the prospect of a potential M7 in the future though. We can but dream.

    This is a textbook answer Rob. We looked it up and got the same...

    Rob Upton: There's no M7 because their numbering relates to the A-road they're relieving. M1 takes traffic off the A1, M3 off the A3 etc. The A7 (Carlisle to Edinburgh) isn't busy enough to need a motorway relief road

  20. Lukaku to be rested?published at 13:24 Greenwich Mean Time 30 December 2017

    Man Utd v Southampton (17:30 GMT)

    Simon Stone
    BBC Sport

    Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was in a passionate mood in his Friday news conference, particularly when it came to Romelu Lukaku.

    After a fine start to his United career, Lukaku has struggled recently, and his mistakes led to goals for Manchester City and Burnley in recent matches, part of what Mourinho describes as 'S' goals.

    But instead of criticising his £75m striker, Mourinho has highlighted the amount of time he has played this season and says he owes him a debt of gratitude.

    "I have to be grateful to Romelu," said Mourinho.

    "For striker in Premier League to play 20 matches, all 90 minutes, says a lot about his personality and character.

    "He was in the picture in some of the last goals we concede but all is a consequence of a player who really needs a little rest."
