  1. Brighton and Hove Albion 0-0 Bournemouth

    Three cracking tackles in the first minute. Get stuck in.

    Aaron Mooy then with a lovely turn as Brighton win an early corner. If he was quicker he'd have been a really very good Premier League midfielder indeed, in my opinion

  2. KICK-OFF

    Brighton and Hove Albion 0-0 Bournemouth

    Anndddddd we're off!

  3. Brighton and Hove Albion v Bournemouth (12:30 GMT)

    Speaking of madness, Dominic Solanke has one Premier League goal in 48 appearances. He's a striker!

    A £19m one at that. Jean-Claude Darcheville has two Premier League goals to his name...

  4. 'It's madness'

    Karen Carney
    Former England winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    You can't rely on Leicester and Manchester City not to lose anyway, they are both inconsistent. It's done, Liverpool will win the league and it's a battle for second. It's crazy to say before New Year that it's over, it's madness.

    Liverpool haven't even played that well this season. They remind me a basketball team, who just turn it on in the final quarter, they just turn it on when they need to.

  5. 'The title race is done'

    Steven Reid
    Former Blackburn midfielder on BBC Radio 5 live

    I think the title race is over. Looking at the result last night, the gap is too big. Liverpool haven't lost since January. I just can't see them losing at all, let alone three or four games which is what it would take for Leicester or Manchester City to catch them. For me, it's done.

  6. What's the cut-off date for wearing Christmas jumpers? A fair few in the stands down at Brighton.

  7. LINE-UPS

  8. Anyway, the Amex has filled up a treat and we are zeroing in on our first action of the day. A reminder of the sides:

  9. So close and competitive, or just very mediocre?

    For a few reasons this is the season I have seen the least of in the Premier League era and I don't feel like I've missed much. Fair?

    Looking at Prem table, can't believe that Chelsea in 4th are same number of points away from Watford on bottom of table as Liverpool on top!! Unbelievable. Gotta be a first at half way through season. Shows both Liverpool's dominance and that apart from them the league is so close & competitive this year.

    Ben, Exeter

  11. Down at the bottom

    West Ham in trouble?

    These two early teams?

    Should Watford and Norwich lose today it's looking a long way back already...

    My relegation worry is for my beloved West Ham......rotten to the core.

    From Simon in Basildon.

  13. Liverpool's players may be going full Macbeth on this one but can we safely say the title is decided now?

  14. 'You can't think it's done'

    Alex Scott
    Ex-England international on Football Focus

    Until it's done and you're lifting that trophy, you can't get in that mindset that you think it's done. I don't think you'll get any Liverpool players saying they've won the league.

  15. Surprisingly prolific

    Brighton and Hove Albion v Bournemouth (12:30 GMT)

    Dan Gosling has scored in four of his last six Premier League starts. The first of the four goals in that run came in Bournemouth's 5-0 win at Brighton on 13 April.

  17. Brighton's away end used to have a great view...of the long jump.

    Both teams have come a long way in a short space of time.

    Brighton v Bournemouth - a derby, no. But certainly has had its spice over the years. I like to call it the 'Battle of the Beaches' . Prior to redevelopment, Dean Court's (or to use its current incarnation, Vitality Stadium) away end was called the Brighton Beach End on account of it being built on a load of old rocks, stones & debris...

    Sy, Bournemouth

  19. Too early for a six-pointer?

    Watford v Aston Villa (15:00 GMT)

    This is probably the game of the day.

    19th v 18th, and if Villa get the win they would be a whopping eight points ahead of Watford. All but safe?

    Should Watford win then, well, you can do the maths...
