    Newcastle skipper Jamaal Lascelles has got a nose bleed. Not sure how that happened? May well have ran into Jay Rodriguez's head.

    Watford v Liverpool (17:30 GMT)

    History could be made at this ground today because if Liverpool win it will be their 19th league victory in a row - a top-flight record.

    It would also be their 27th win in 28 Premier League games this season and would leave the Reds needing just three wins to seal a first league title in three decades.

    As you'd expect, Liverpool fans were in buoyant mood on the train down south but Watford will be determined to spoil the party with Premier League survival at stake.

    The Hornets had looked dead and buried in December but the arrival of Nigel Pearson sparked a revival. That, though, has stuttered of late with Watford winless in their past five.

    The odds are stacked against the hosts but Liverpool were not at their best against West Ham last time out and that will give the home fans the faintest glimmer of hope their side can cause an upset.

    Hornets are yellow,

    Roses are red.

    Late kick off vs Liverpool,

    fills me with dread

    No shots on target in the first half from Burnley - the 10th time this season that's happened. Talking about trying to keep it tight early on...

    Crystal Palace

    More from Roy Hodgson: "I'm very proud. We knew we'd have to dig in and fight plenty of battles out there. We had to make certain we got our defending right. We won our challenges, the back four was very solid and we knew the chances would come our way.

    "It's a remarkable victory because this is a fixture where we haven't done so well in recent years, and it's nice to break that hoodoo. Both teams were totally aware of how important this game is. It was a hard-fought derby. Both teams will feel they did everything they could possibly do.

    "We need more points but we've got 10 games left. The way this group of players is I can't really see us surrendering what we've done so far. But we don't take anything for granted."

    West Ham 2-1 Southampton

    You can't argue with Tony Pulis' eyesight you know. He said straight away in comms that there was a deflection on Jarrod Bowen's opener. I didn't see one on three replays but I've just seen a new angle and there was the slightest of touches on it...

    It's been a good game, it's been open, there have been opportunities, not clear cut chances but it's been a good game, it's been interesting to see both teams play.

    I think Ralph will make changes at half time and bring one or two players on, Ings will come on without a question of a doubt.

    Brighton defender Dan Burn: "Very frustrating, we have created plenty of chances and to come away with nothing is frustrating.

    "We should be higher up the table and it’s this time of the season where we need to start picking up some points, but I believe in the team.

    "We have very good players in the forward area. We needed a bit of luck today, they had a couple of chances and pulled it off.

    "The changing room is still really positive - we haven’t won in eight games but you wouldn’t be able to tell. We are a positive group."

    Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew: "It was a scrappy game but we did what we had to do and I hope the supporters enjoy their weekend. I’m pleased that we came away with the three points."

    On his goal: "Christian (Benteke) did everything, he did a fantastic job, he gave me the ball I and tried to put it in the corner but the keeper got in the way, but the most important thing is we got the win."

    I still don't know what Michail Antonio is but I do know I'd have him in my team every week. An absolute nuisance. He ricochets a ball around down the left and Jack Stephens ends up in the book for handball.

    Newcastle are looking dangerous and playing some nice stuff.

    Miguel Almiron is the bright spark in that three-man attack, testing Nick Pope again. Nothing to worry the Burnley stopper too much just yet, mind.
