    Kevin de Bruyne

    GAME ON!

    Kevin de Bruyne cross from a right-back position... it's gone in! City don't care.

    Strap yourselves in for the final five minutes (plus stoppage time...).

    Man City 1-3 Crystal Palace

    Kevin de Bruyne, in a central position about 30 yards out, clips over the Palace defence tpo pick out Leroy Sane. But, for once, the German's touch lets him down and the ball dribbles out for a goal kick...

    Well into the final 10 minutes. City need a goal. Quick.

    Huddersfield 1-3 Southampton

    There has been very litle response to that third Southampton goal. David Wagner is a legend at the club but even legends get sacked eventually. Just ask Claudio Ranieiri.

    Tim: Ralph Hasenhuttl would have been on many Saints' Christmas lists - delighted he arrived a couple of weeks early!

    Dan: Time for a change at Huddersfield Town. Poor summer signings has cost us big.

    Palace haven't made a change yet. There has to be some tired legs and minds out there...

    Man City 1-3 Crystal Palace

    Manchester City corner... headed into the ground and gratefully gathered by Palace keeper Victor Guaita. He leaps into the air, falls to the floor theatrically and stays down for a good 15 seconds. Then he waves away his defenders and takes an age to boot clear. Of course he does...

    Gadge Murphy: Football has just gone crazy today, I can’t believe what I’m seeing! Saido Berahino just scored and City are 2 goals down at home...seriously, Berahino just did a goal!!

    Eddie Royall: Who is this tactical genius Hodgson? If he keeps this up he could manage England one day!

    Chris: Chelsea behind to Leicester at home, City losing to Palace also at home. I woke up on Earth, right?

    Newcastle 0-0 Fulham

    Tom Cairney is replaced by Floyd Ayite for Fulham. Can we get a late winner?

    West Ham 0-1 Watford

    Watford might live to regret these missed chances. Troy Deeney is the latest culprit, put clean through but only able to shoot straight at Lukasz Fabianski.

    Chelsea 0-1 Leicester

    Steady on lads...

    It could be a first home defeat for Sarri though as Marc Albrighton has a stinger from 25 yards saved.

    Coolisha: Sarriball is useless and dysfunctional: Chelsea are always short in numbers whether they attack or defend

    Abhie: Note to Sarri. Mourinho is looking for a job.

    Man City 1-3 Crystal Palace

    City might as well roll out the groundsheet and start hammering pegs into the pitch. They are camped in Palace's half. Just the 91% possession for the Blues in the past 10 minutes...

    Chelsea 0-1 Leicester

    Olivier Giroud tries a spectacular bicycle kick - he's certainly capable - but he can't get it on goal. Ben Chilwell has been magnificent today by the way.

    Ten minutes left...

    There's no way through for City. Roy Hodgson is a master at teams keeping their shape. That's what they work on.

    Free-kick about 25 yards out... Leroy Sane stands over it.. crashes against the post. Palace survive, less than 15 minutes left...

    A test of endurance this one. Fabian Schar heads over for Newcastle.

    Chances at both ends. Gaps everywhere.

    Abdoulaye Doucoure sees the path to the West Ham goal open up, only to be denied when he shoots straight at Lukasz Fabianski. Either side and it was a goal...

    West Ham quickly race up the other end and Javier Hernandez blows another chance.

    Darryl Finch: Next time there’s a drone sighted in the sky near Gatwick, we should just send Andros Townsend and ask him to deploy one of his left foot rockets.

    Sam Pougher: It's a crystal-mas miracle.

    Mr Payney: What the hell are Palace playing at? They are ruining a great many people’s predictions.
