    Christian Benteke gets his first start since September for Palace as new signing Michy Batshuayi is only on the bench.

    Fulham have neither of their deadline day signings in the squad at all. What was the point?

    Chelsea make four changes from the 4-0 gubbing at Bournemouth - Gonzalo Higuain starts up front.

    Full team news to come.

    Burnley's 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Tuesday was still a very good result but they came very close to getting an amazing one.

    Seeing Southampton recover to get a point in their game against Crystal Palace was another mark of their recent improvement.

    But the Clarets are unbeaten in the Premier League in 2019 and - as I have said before - I think the old Burnley are back.

    Lawro's prediction: 2-0

  5. No plan B for Sarri, yet...published at 13:51 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2019

    Chelsea v Huddersfield (15:00 GMT)

    Chelsea

    Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri, asked whether his side should have a 'Plan B' tactically: "Why? First of all, I want to do very well the plan A, I think. I don't want to change something that at the moment doesn't work very well.

    "First of all, I want to see my football played very well, then we can go to change something."

    When you look at how Chelsea handle their managers, the dressing room goes against them and the results turn, it doesn’t end well. Sarri is at a crossroads, he’s been stubborn with team selection and system so does he stick by his methods and morals or is he going to cave? It is going to be interesting. Today they are going to be fine at home

    After the gloom for Chelsea in midweek it's nice and sunny at Stamford Bridge today.

    Maurizio Sarri kept his players in the dressing room for a lengthy debrief after their demolition at Bournemouth, but the Italian's notes in the matchday programme are brief. He says it's difficult to accept or explain their second-half performance on the south coast and they must show the strength of character to respond today.

    What is happening at Chelsea? It is very odd.

    They are into the Carabao Cup final, they have just signed Gonzalo Higuain, and they got an exciting draw in the FA Cup fifth-round with Manchester United.

    Then they to go to Bournemouth, who were without injured striker Callum Wilson, lose 4-0 and put in a performance like they did. It is baffling.

    I don't think Jan Siewert has been appointed Huddersfield boss to try to keep them up, he has got the job to get them back up next season. He has got a chance to take a look at his squad over the next few months to get to know his players and work out what he needs to do over the summer.

    Lawro's prediction: 2-0

    Transfer window = slammed shut. Deadline day excitement levels = mildly amusing.

    But there were at least a few tweaks to Premier League squads as Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson sent up the Bat signal, Sean Dyche opted to improve Burnley's podcasting game and Everton said "non!" after Paris St-Germain came sniffing around one of their stars.

    Will we see debuts dished out and requests to leave blissfully forgotten as most Premier League clubs make their post-deadline return to the pitch this afternoon?

    Let's find out...
