    Hang on a sec. Leganes have only gone and bagged against Barcelona. Get over to this live text to enjoy it. They're playing in a stadium with stands without roofs as well. Love a stadium without a roof.

    I have just been chatting to some Tottenham fans outside the ground.

    The general consensus is that they would prefer Mauricio Pochettino as manager to Jose Mourinho.

    However, there is also an acknowledgement that maybe a change was required to arrest Tottenham's slide down the table.

    It will be an interesting journey that's for sure.

  5. Meanwhile, in Spain...published at 12:00 Greenwich Mean Time 23 November 2019

    It's not just about the Premier League today. We've got live text commentary of a game from Spain, which is about to begin. La Liga's top side Barcelona face the division's bottom club Leganes. Only going one way that game, surely.

    Head here if you're keen to find out.

  6. How much?!published at 11:56 Greenwich Mean Time 23 November 2019

    Which is worse? That Chelsea have imposed a £20,000 fine for players being late for training, or that this is an amount the players themselves can clearly comfortably afford to lose from their weekly wage packet?

    I usually just blame the traffic on the M62 when I'm late. If there was a 20k fine resting on it, I'd sleep in the canteen.

    Blues boss Frank Lampard insists he's not being unreasonable by insisting on the fines.

    "I'll expect you all the earlier the following morning, Crachit. Bah humbug!" he said. Not really. You can click here to read his real comments.

    @Will91Josh: Dier at the base of midfield should come as no surprise, Winks will not be given many chances after this one to impress. It would appear that José is already unimpressed with Eriksen.

    @TheoThronII: Unsurprised to see Dier right back in the side. He is the definition of a Mourinho player and if he can stay they will get a lot out of each other.

    West Ham United

    West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini speaking to BT Sport: "First of all we are concentrating on defending. We have conceded six goals and five of them were from set pieces. We need to work on that.

    On Jose Mourinho: "I don’t have any problems with Jose – he is a special man – he named it himself. He is a good manager, he does well in the Premier League. I feel sad for Mauricio Pochettino he has done so much for the club. I wish Jose a lot of success but after this game."

    Jose Mourinho and Tottenham may be dominating the headlines ahead of today's game but don't forget it is crucial for West Ham as well.

    The Hammers have collapsed in the Premier League, collecting a single point from the last five games, piling the pressure on manager Manuel Pellegrini.

    The Chilean has been given time by the Hammers hierarchy but another defeat today could be a problem.

    "I have been asked this week about pressure," Pellegrini says in his programme notes.

    "The only pressure I feel is the pressure I put on myself. I have been in this professional for 33 years. I know what football is."

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho speaking to BT Sport: "I think today is about a bit of everything. Motivation - I think they always had it. People think when results are bad it's about motivation but they are professionals and they always try their best. Tactics - we have just a few little changes but I have not changed a lot just little things I think will help."

    "Today is important but our future is also very important. We are going to try and find some positions and dynamic which we have had chance to work with Kane, Son and Moura. Today is about finding happiness."

    On Christian Eriksen's future: "I need to understand what is in Christians mind or heart and we have to make the right decision for the club."

    So then Spurs fans, what do you make of that team? Jose did say in the week he wouldn't be making big changes and he has been true to his word.

    Will it be good enough to get a result at West Ham? It should be.

    And West Ham fans - you happy to see Yarmolenko back. Think you can make it an unhappy start for Poch's successor?

    The players' entrance at the London Stadium is tucked away a little bit, very different from Manchester United and Bournemouth, where Jose Mourinho was greeted by fans ahead of his first game as boss of the Old Trafford club.

    Apart from a camerman, security and some club staff, the only people to witness Mourinho's arrival were the young children - in West Ham kits - who were lining the passage to the dressing rooms.

    Mourinho greeted them with some high fives and a familiar cheeky wink.

    He looks in a very good mood.

    Lucas Moura comes in to replace Tanguy Ndombele, who was struggling to be fit. Harry Winks is in for Moussa Sissoko in midfield, while Toby Alderweireld is back in defence as Giovani Lo Celso drops to the bench. Christian Eriksen is also among the substitutes.
