    Man City 4-0 Leicester

    Leicester win their fourth corner, more than Manchester City have had, as Marc Albrighton's volley from James Maddison's cross is blocked.

    Manchester City deal with the corner though.

    Norwich 0-1 Arsenal

    2022 could be a huge year for Bukayo Saka and England.

    He's ending 2021 in terrific form.

    Saka has just had another acrobatic attempt which does not trouble the keeper, but Arsenal's No 7 is everywhere.

    West Ham 0-1 Southampton

    Southampton are doing well to hold onto the ball after a period of West Ham dominance.

    James Ward-Prowse flicks in a corner which amounts to nothing but the Saints are enjoying a spell of possession.

    The Turbo Bear: Is it OK if we start calling them Penchester City now? Never a pen, Sterling dives.

    No, that is not OK.

    Man City 4-0 Leicester

    Leicester's defending continues to be as shocking as the pink socks their players are wearing, and when Manchester City are in this kind of mood, that is asking for trouble. Big trouble.

    Raheem Sterling's penalty means he has now scored in four consecutive Premier League games for the first time since September 2017. The home fans are singing about him being top of the league - and I think we are safe to say he will soon be six points clear.

    I'm afraid to say I didn't get the brackets out when Manchester City hammered Leeds 7-0. I'd better start getting them out of storage now.

    You spend so long hoping you get enough fantasy football players out, and then you have a Leicester defender getting you minus points.

    Norwich 0-1 Arsenal

    Huge chance for Arsenal to make it 2-0.

    Having already scored, Bukayo Saka weaves some magic before delivering a great cross for Alexandre Lacazette who is inside the six-yard area but the Gunners skipper heads it wide.

    That's a bad miss.

    He earned the penalty with a great run, Schmeichel went to his left but yet again a wonderful penalty, right-footed into the top corner for a great finish.

    Sterling seems to be getting back into his stride.

    Richard Dormandy: Palace playing well except Zaha - just too far away for every tackle, nothing creative when given the ball, seems to lack hunger.. Wake up Wilf!

    West Ham 0-1 Southampton

    Craig Dawson hits a long ball down field and it's got some pace on it, it comes off a Southampton player's head which sends it out of play.

    Fraser Forster punches the effort away from the resulting corner.

    I'm just going to say it. This could be double figures.

  13. CLOSE!published at 15:26 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2021

    Tottenham 0-0 Crystal Palace

    That should be the first goal for Tottenham. Sergio Reguilon floats in a cross from the left, Lucas Moura is unmarked five yards out and tries a glancing header, but he doesn't get enough on it and can only send it wastefully wide.

    Moments later, Palace's Wilfried Zaha gets a yellow, the first booking of the match, for clipping the heel of Davinson Sanchez.

    Norwich 0-1 Arsenal

    Norwich have scored just eight league goals this season and have not really threatened Aaron Ramsdale's goal.

    Dean Smith is standing in his technical area looking slightly baffled.

    Arsenal are in complete control.

    Raheem Sterling (25 mins)

    Raheem Sterling takes this one and it's basically a repeat of the one Riyad Mahrez scored.

    Top right corner, Kasper Schmeichel goes the right way but can't reach it.

    Imagine if Youri Tielemans conceded a second penalty? No need to imagine, he's just chopped down Raheem Sterling.

    I'm an Arsenal fan and obviously want them to win today. But I'd love Norwich to stay up - it's a great City and a friendly, community centred club with long suffering but strong supporters.

    Man City 3-0 Leicester

    Kelechi Iheanacho's weak shot is straight at Ederson. It feels like everybody in this game used to play for the opposition - Iheanacho, Kasper Schmeichel, Riyad Mahrez. OK so 3/22.

    West Ham 0-1 Southampton

    West Ham have a free-kick in a dangerous area after Kyle Walker-Pieters brings down Vladimir Coufal.

    Jarrod Bowen whips in the free-kick and he's going for goal but it's a few feet wide.

    It's a demolition isn't it? City are finding all sorts of areas to play in.
