    Beejay: It's nice seeing Tariq Lamptey on the bench for Chelsea, hope he gets some playing time today too.

    Kyle: As a Newcastle fan I hope we sign Jarrod Bowen. He has been brilliant for Hull and I am sure he can make the step up and do it in the Premier league. Alfredo Morelos would be a good signing too. Tough to get him out of Rangers as they are in a title race.

    Chelsea are still on target for what they want to achieve. Frank Lampard is doing a fantastic job.

    With the number of youngsters and inexperience in that Chelsea side, you are always going to get inconsistencies, because that's what happens when you have so many inexperienced players in your team.

    But I think they're pretty much on track. When Frank took on that job, he knew the circumstances, but overall he is doing a very, very good job.

    Dean Smith comes into this one under heavy pressure - even though he signed a new four-year deal a month ago.

    Football is a madness. Imagine another multi-million pound business being run like that.

    Lewis Starks: VAR's New Years Resolutions: - Let the referee ref the game. If it goes to VAR then tell referee to look at pitch side monitor and see if error made. - Offsides... Either scrap it or change it. - Stop sucking time and enjoyment out of the game! CLEAR AND OBVIOUS!

    If you don't know who Shaun Teale is you may prefer this one - how well do you remember the past 10 years? Well enough to ace our monster quiz?

    Manchester City won four Premier League titles in the decade, empires rose and fell, Leicester went from the Championship to the Champions League and through it all James Milner kept getting 7/10 every game.

    There are a mammoth 126 points on offer...

    Loks like Aston Villa are wearing green, red and navy blue today. Lovely.

    A bit like the Muller one from the Shaun Teale era.

    Burnley

    Burnley manager Sean Dyche: "We performed very well against Man Utd, particularly the second half. We need to take that into the game - the sharpness and posing more questions.

    "We have had spells like that before [where they lack goalscoring opportunities]. We have had three 0-0s. We can score goals, we know that. It's those fine details in the final third.

    "Jeff [Hendrick] has done a great job for us but Robbie [Brady] is getting sharper and sharper so we think he is the right player today.

    "It looks like a new shape [for Aston Villa at the back] so we will see what that is like. They are a good side otherwise they wouldn't be here so we have to perform."

    Aston Villa manager Dean Smith: "It's a big challenge. We are not on a great run of results and our last game wasn't very good against Watford.

    "It's a big game but an opportunity too. Burnley is a tough place to come to. It's a big ask but we are looking forward to it."

    After the Watford game: "We had a chat and a full debrief. The players said they weren't good enough and I take full responsibility too. The last few games have been a bit of a struggle. We need a reaction to that game.

    "We have some of our top players coming back in Tyrone Mings."
