Huddersfield goalkeeper Jonas Lossl: "I touched him. I spoke to the referee and I said there was contact. I was not surprised he didn’t give it, I didn’t do it on purpose, but there was contact. I told the referee after but it was his decision.

"We fought hard and also had our chances. We didn’t play well, but we stood together and fought."

Brighton boss Chris Hughton, speaking to MOTD: "I thought over the 90 minutes we were the better side. Not many chances in it and you could sense the nervousness in front of goal from both sides but we were very worthy of the point and probably deserved a bit more.

"We had really good periods of possession in both halves and those are the moments you have to get your goal. A difficult game, never an easy one here and I'm reasonably satisfied with the point.

"We deserve to be in the Premier League but we are find the qualities in this division. It is harder to score. All you want is to be at least in the game and we have done that apart from against Liverpool."

Newcastle United

Newcastle defender Ciaran Clark: "It was a tough game. We knew it would be like that. I felt we went for it more in the second half. We wanted to keep it tight and we are happy to keep a clean sheet.

"There were not many chances and coming off the pitch a draw may have been a fair result.

"These are the games that will ultimately decide where we will finish this season. We wanted to try and get the win, didn't manage to do that but we will take the point and focus on Stoke on Monday."

Bournemouth

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe to MOTD: "A massive win - we got our reward finally after a tough fixture list.

"We should have beaten West Ham and didn't but we kept on going. Ryan Fraser has been excellent in recent weeks and he deserved the two goals.

"You don't want to be in the bottom three for a second, we've had to deal with that but we're out now.

"Runs of results can make a massive difference to a season, it's so tight in this league."

Swansea City

Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal: "A difficult game. Watford have a good team.

"We deserved a win, luck is part of the game - they were lucky when we put the ball on the bar. We had some parts where Lukasz Fabianski made fantastic saves.

"I must say to my players I am very. very happy with what they did on the pitch in a difficult situation.

"We put four midfielders and players on the side to try to find space, we didn't play the first 45 minutes as we wish because we had some problems to control.

"The last 15 minutes we solved this problem. We started taking risk and put more players in attack. First Luciano Narsingh on the right and Renato Sanches on the left to try and connect the game."

Bournemouth

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe: "It was an incredible game, we showed tremendous character. I thought we were good today, we gifted them a goal but then we had to dig deep.

"We have been shooting ourselves in the foot in recent games with individual errors and we did it again. But when the chips are down we turn to our creative players and Ryan Fraser was excellent today.

"Playing well without winning is not a nice feeling. It was bittersweet as Joshua King had a hamstring injury - you're looking at least a few weeks. It may change our transfer policy."

Burnley

Burnley midfielder Jeff Hendrick who was denied a strong penalty shout in the second half: "I felt contact and he made me go down. The referee said he didn't think it was a dive, but that I lost my footing and he didn't think the goalkeeper touched me.

"It was a tight game and we fought hard. We created more in the first half but we could have tested the goalkeeper more. It is another point on the board. We said at the start of the year, if we can't win, we make make sure we can't get beaten."

Chelsea goalscorer Danny Drinkwater to BBC MOTD: "We're doing well. The more wins we pick up in a row, the better it is for us.

"We managed the game well. We got off to a good start.

"I'm happy with my goal, it's a nice feeling to score. We can take confidence from this into the Arsenal game - but it's a totally different game.

"It [the title race] is not over until it's over. So we have to keep on winning."

James Milner on Mohamed Salah: "He keeps scoring and I'm running out of words to describe him. It's important that we keep supporting him but not put too much pressure on him."

On fighting back against Leicester: "It's not easy for any team to come here but they defended well and put pressure on us with the early goal but to open teams up you've got to keep going, build from the back and do the simple things right."

Bournemouth

Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser: "We needed the three points today, performances have been good recently but just not the results.

"We dominated the game, we did it the hard way but we deserved it. We want to build on ninth place last season, not just stay up."

Henrikh Mkhitaryan – linked with a move away from Manchester United in January – starts in the Red Devils’ midfield at the expense of Marcus Rashford.

Jesse Lingard comes in with Zlatan Ibrahimovic left out of the matchday squad entirely after he was removed at half-time of the Boxing Day draw against Burnley.

Victor Lindelof comes into the defence for Marcos Rojo, who drops to the bench.

The big news in the Southampton line-up is Fraser Forster’s demotion to the bench with Alex McCarthy coming in to make his first Premier League appearance for the club since his arrival from Crystal Palace.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan: "Any point away from home is nice. We want to make the Amex a fortress and hopefully pick up the majority of our points there. We keep adding to our tally and that is the most important thing."

Kolo: Liverpool show character for once, coming form behind to lead, and grind out the win.

Big win - Bournemouth go out of the bottom three, all the way up to 13th!

It's a great start for Carlos Carvalhal - he would have wanted to create a great spirit around Swansea - and a late goal always does that.

Swansea are off the bottom! They trailed until the 86th minute - what a start for Carlos Carvalhal!
