We are under way in the second halves.

Leicester suddenly realise they actually had a right-back on the bench so Timothy Castange replaces Ayoze Perez. Marc Albrighton will move up the pitch.

Took a while for Spurs to warm up, but they were impressively destructive with those two quick goals.

Palace might question whether Zaha’s two yellow cards were warranted, but what isn’t up for debate is that they were both entirely unnecessary.

This will be one win in six games for Leicester by the time this game is over.

Newcastle and Watford are the only English teams they've beaten since October.

Southampton were in control of possession and shots in that opening 45 minutes. If they can hold onto the lead it would be their first win in seven Premier League matches.

For West Ham, the slump continues. Don't forget Michail Antonio is on the bench after a spell out with covid. But even he hasn't scored in eight games.

These are exciting times for the Gunners. Their first 5 games of 2022:

H v Man City (Premier League)

H v Liverpool (Carabao Cup semi-final)

A v Nottingham Forest (FA Cup)

A v Liverpool (Carabao Cup semi-final)

A v Tottenham (Premier League)

It was about the intent, the start and the runs in behind to create space. De Bruyne's wonderful finish opened it up, after that Tielemens made mistakes and it was always going to be difficult against this City team.

I loved playing on Boxing Day, I was a bit worried when eating a bit too much the day before but I really enjoyed getting my boots on for them.

Grant Kennett: What a half from Spurs this has been. Slow start getting through the middle but both full backs, Skipp and Lucas have been exceptional. Loving Conte-ball.

It looks a long way back for Crystal Palace as two goals in three minutes - from Harry Kane and Lucas Moura - have Tottenham in complete control.

The Eagles, who wanted this game called off and have limited options on the bench because of Covid-19, are also down to 10 men with Wilfried Zaha picking up a couple of yellow cards.

Tottenham will be heading up to fifth as it stands unless Palace can provide an incredible second half.

Just the one goal in this game at the break after Mohamed Elyounoussi put the visitors ahead inside 10 minutes.

Professional performance by the Gunners who are steaming towards another win.

The half-time whistle goes. This is what happens when the free-scoring league leaders play a team with two proper defenders in the side.

We'll have two minutes of added time in the first half as West Ham drive forward and win a corner. Can they make something of it in the dying seconds of the first 45 minutes?

No, is the answer.

Oliver Skipp tries to burst through the Palace defence on the halfway line, but is crudely blocked off by James Tomkins and that's a yellow for the Eagles defender.

A clever Manchester City free-kick as Riyad Mahrez dummies and Kevin de Bruyne passes it across the box but Ilkay Gundogan's drive is well saved by Kasper Schmeichel.

Strange game this. West Ham have been pretty flat, on and off the pitch. Vladimir Coufal sends a pass into the box but it's very congested in there and Southampton are able to clear.

Leicester defender Jannik Vestergaard is booked for a foul on the wing.
