  3. No draw = recordpublished at 11:52 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2019

    Tottenham v Newcastle (12:30 GMT)

    Here's a little look inside the Tottenham changing room as each player has their trainers, boots and flip flops laid out for them.

    It's all a bit much for me but I guess the modern day player can't be distracted by the pressure of packing his own flip flops.

    Jan Vertonghen will make his 200th Premier League outing today.

    Victory or defeat would ensure Tottenham set a Premier League record for most consecutive matches without a draw. They have matched Bolton's tally of 28 games, set in 2011.

  4. Is Jan a miracle man?published at 11:46 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2019

    While all eyes will be on Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge, new Huddersfield boss Jan Siewert may be able to go under the radar and land an unexpected win.

    Huddersfield have lost 10 of their past 11 league matches, drawing the other, and they are 12 points adrift of safety.

    It looks a massive, massive ask doesn't it?

    The Terriers have played 36 competitive fixtures since they last had more than one goalscorer in a single match.

  5. Let's do the robot...published at 11:43 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2019

    Burnley v Southampton (15:00 GMT)

    Burnley fans will get to see Peter Crouch for the first time today when they host Southampton. Might he bag one and break out the robot?

    His signing - aged 38 - caught the eye on deadline day. Did you know he has scored for six different clubs in the Premier League and is vying to equal Craig Bellamy's record of seven.

    Burnley manager Sean Dyche said: "There's no issue about his fitness and I think he has an intention and a desire to still make a mark in football.

    "We know what a good character he is, and he still has that edge. We know he's an effective footballer and he has a hunger to come here and make a mark."

    Tottenham are "happy" with Harry Kane's recovery from an ankle injury, but manager Mauricio Pochettino does not know whether he will return before early March.

    The England striker sustained ligament damage in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester United on 13 January - the third season in a row he has suffered such a problem.

    The Argentine said: "I cannot tell you if he is ahead of schedule or not. We assess him day-by-day.

    "He is showing on his social media that he looks strong and very fit and very well, running and doing exercises.

    "You know him very well, he is very strong and is a guy that puts 200% in to be back as soon as possible.

    "He's determined to try and recover as soon as possible and be available as soon as possible. We will see, we need to assess day-by-day, week-by-week but we are happy with how he is recovering."

  8. Three Spurs changes...published at 11:36 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2019

    Tottenham v Newcastle (12:30 GMT)

    Serge Aurier, Danny Rose and Fernando Llorente drop out for Spurs as Mauricio Pochettino makes three changes to the side which beat Watford.

    In come Kieran Trippier, Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura.

    Newcastle are unchanged from that incredible win over Manchester City. New signing Antonio Barreca is on the bench.

  9. Postpublished at 11:30 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2019

    I can tell you Son Heung-min is fit and starts for Spurs despite some cramp in midweek.

    Sean Longstaff starts for Newcastle. Full teams to follow shortly.

    Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez has insisted there is "plenty of time" to talk about his future, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.

    The 58-year-old Spaniard was keen to underline that his future was not dependent on whether the Magpies would recruit any players during the January window.

    "I didn't say if we don't sign players, I will leave," he said.

    "I will not say now that because we have signed two players, I will sign.

    "We have plenty of time to talk. The most important thing is to concentrate on the next games. My focus was to make sure we had new players."

  12. Gueye focus and Wolves threat...published at 11:22 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2019

    Idrissa Gueye is a doubt today for Everton due to a groin injury but he of course was the subject of offers from Paris St-Germain during the transfer window.

    Asked about how Gueye will react to the failed bids, manager Marco Silva said: "He is a good professional and a fantastic boy. He really likes our club, he is enjoying playing in our club.

    "When a club like PSG comes in it is normal he starts to think about his future but now he has stopped, the market is closed and I don't have doubts we will see the best Idrissa Gana again."

    Wolves go to Goodison in flying form. They have 35 points after 24 matches, the most by a promoted team at this stage of a Premier League season since Birmingham City's tally of 37 in 2009-10.

    I will say this for Christian Benteke, he's welcomed his fellow Belgium international Michy Batshuayi to Crystal Palace despite the fact the new boy will probably keep him out of the team.

    Palace host Fulham today in a key game at the bottom. Fulham of course come off that fine victory over Brighton but they are the only Premier League side yet to record an away victory this season.

    Ralph Hasenhuttl: Austria's third most famous person

    Ralph Hassenhuttl has got Southampton on a solid platform it seems. Had the league started when he took over they'd be eighth.

    James Ward-Prowse is certainly thriving with three goals in successive Premier League appearances, after finding the net in just two of his previous 46.

    Big Ralph sat down with the BBC and you can take a look by clicking play above.

  19. A banker goal?published at 10:56 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2019

    Brighton v Watford (15:00 GMT)

    Here's one to keep an eye on in Brighton v Watford...

    Brighton have scored 16 goals from a set piece this season, a joint-league high with Liverpool and Manchester United.

    And...

    Only Manchester United have conceded more goals from a set piece than Watford's total of 13 in this Premier League campaign.

    So you can bank on Brighton bagging from a dead ball can you not?

  20. Lawro's predictionpublished at 10:45 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2019

    Tottenham v Newcastle (12:30 GMT)

    .Image source, .

    Newcastle got an excellent win against Manchester City on Tuesday, but it did leave me looking at the Magpies players and wondering where that type of performance has been all season?

    That is the one thing I always wonder about teams that pull out results like that against the top sides.

    Last season, when the Magpies got a very good result they followed it up by stringing a little run together and I can see something similar happening here.

    Lawro's prediction: 1-1
