    Leicester are playing both Christian Fuchs and Ben Chilwell today so one of them, we presume, will be in midfield. Excellent.

  2. 'It could be a difficult transfer window for Leicester'published at 14:06 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Newcastle v Leicester (15:00 GMT)

    Leicester have got a really strong squad and they have got a lot of back up.

    Are you bringing in someone to be a back up? Or are you bringing someone in to go right into the team? If it's the latter, they are going to have to spend a lot of money. Strengthening is going to be difficult, it could be a difficult window for them.

    You've got to take into account that they have been doing so well, so do they want to upset the atmosphere in the squad?

    Burnley 0-2 Aston Villa

    A beautiful trubute from TP.

    It's up to 19 shots for Burnley now without one hitting the target. Tom Heaton could have stayed at home.

  4. 'Traore is a wonderful boy'published at 14:05 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Watford v Wolves (15:00 GMT)

    Tony Pulis
    Former Stoke and West Brom manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

    When I went to Middlesbrough, Adama Traore was lost really. He wasn't being played. He has an unbelievable ability and his pace is frightening.

    What he needed was confidence and for someone to believe in him. Once he's got that, at times he's unplayable.

    He's a smashing lad. He's a wonderful, wonderful boy. In football, you hope and pray certain individuals do well, and Adama is one of them.

    Tammy Abraham has a shot charged down as Chelsea look for a killer second. Into the last 15 minutes.

  6. 'Jose's enjoying football again'published at 14:02 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Southampton v Tottenham (15:00 GMT)

    Tony Pulis
    Former Stoke and West Brom manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Jose Mourinho looks like he's got a glint back in his eye.

    He looks as though he's enjoying the game again and that is good for Tottenham.

  7. Postpublished at 14:01 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Burnley 0-2 Aston Villa

    Chance for Jonathan Kodjia straight away after more good play from Jack Grealish - he slides in the former Bristol City man, he's wide left of the area and can only drag a cross/shot across the face.

    Neither one thing or another really.

  8. Team news for 15:00 GMT games - Still no Vardypublished at 14:00 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    There are three 15:00 GMT kick-offs today. Yoshinori Muto gets a start for Newcastle but there is still no Jamie Vardy for Leicester.

    Christian Eriksen is in for Tottenham once more against Southampton despite being linked with a move away this month.

    Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore both return to the starting XI for Wolves at Watford.

    Wesley is carried off on a stretcher and here comes Jonathan Kodjia. Bad news for the Villa.

    It doesn't look great for Wesley, he looks in a lot of pain.

    You hope for Villa's sake it's not too bad.

  11. ouch!

    Burnley 0-2 Aston Villa

    Wesley has finally ended his goal drought but he may be badly injured now - he's down in a heap and needs treatment. Doesn't look too good for the big man.

  12. Postpublished at 13:54 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Brighton 0-1 Chelsea

    Reece James, built like a rugby league player, hits a nice half volley which Lewis Dunk bravely blocks with his backside. A stinger in all weathers.

    Chelsea make a change as Callum Hudson-Odoi replaces Christian Pulisic.

  13. Postpublished at 13:52 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Burnley 0-2 Aston Villa

    Chris Wood is in again - sliced wide! A total miscue.

  14. ouch!

    Postpublished at 13:51 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Burnley 0-2 Aston Villa

    Another Charlie Taylor cross, Chris Wood meets with a clean connection - just miles wide of the goal!

    He may have hurt someone in the crowd there. Sweet as a nut!

    Burnley have had 13 shots - NONE on target.

  15. CLOSE!published at 13:49 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Burnley 0-2 Aston Villa

    Chance! Burnley have been on top in this second half but it's a great chance for Villa, big Kortney Hause heads a corner wide from only about two yards out.

    Like life, it came at him fast.

  16. 'More goals to come'published at 13:47 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Brighton 0-1 Chelsea

    Tony Pulis
    Former Stoke and West Brom manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Graham Potter has just gone for it. The game has really opened up.

    There are going to be more goals in this one.

  17. Postpublished at 13:47 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Brighton 0-1 Chelsea

    Mason Mount gets a bit of space on the edge of the area and spots Cesar Azpilicueta on his left, his cross is nodded out but Ngolo Kante can only hit a shot at Mat Ryan.

    Half hour left...

  18. Postpublished at 13:45 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Burnley 0-2 Aston Villa

    Another good cross from Charlie Taylor and the Villa defence now looks all over the place. Not used to winning games, feeling nervy?

    Sean Dyche may have spotted a way to get Taylor free in this second half as he's put nine crosses in now...

  19. Postpublished at 13:43 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    Brighton 0-1 Chelsea

    Some of these suggestions are only going to make life even more complicated...

    All a bit flat down in Brighton, as Christian Pulisic does have a good shot straight at Mat Ryan.

    Get Involved 'Draw a thicker VAR line'published at 13:41 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2020

    #bbcfootball

    Robert Cave: Instead of VAR drawing a thin offside line it should be a thick one reflecting a 20cm margin of error. If the attacking and defending body parts are both within the thick line then you go with the decision on the pitch.

    Andy Capontes: If all offside decisions are finalised by VAR then offside should be judged by foot position only and no other body part. Then advantage goes to the attacking team as it used to be. Fair all round and should only take VAR seconds to make decisions. Hopefully.

    Keith Chapman: If Villa end up relegated at the end of the season, Grealish will have to stay in the Premier League. He's really talented.
