    Southampton need to continue what they did in the latter stages of the first half, staying on the front foot and not allowing Leicester to play out.

    For Leicester, they need to show a lot more. They haven't been in the game. James Maddison needs to see more of the ball.

    Just as I wonder if it's a bit too wide to shoot, James Ward-Prowse does have a go but it's a simple save for Danny Ward really.

    Rogers has been on borrowed time for over a year. He has sucked the life out of this Leicester team and can no longer blame the Board for lack of signings after being given players in January.

    Southampton 1-0 Leicester

    Leicester have lost each of their last 11 Premier League games when behind at half-time. However the last time they didn't was against Southampton, coming back to draw 2-2 in December 2021.

  9. 'Players are devastated'published at 18:27 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March 2023

    FT: Arsenal 3-2 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth

    Bournemouth boss Gary O'Neil: "I thought we gave it a really good go against the best team in the country. Everyone who comes here gets dispatched fairly easily and we didn’t. It felt like the game was finished when it [Arsenal's winner] went in. We have to see out the corner. We couldn't quite hang on.

    "We had some moments and Arsenal were very dominant with the ball. The kick-off routine [for the first goal] is one we have come up with. We should have scored a couple more on the counter.

    "At the moment to suffer a 3-2 defeat in the nature we did, it's very disappointing. Of course [we're up for the fight]. The boys will be absolutely devastated for the next few hours. Liverpool come to us next week and we will be ready."

  10. 'We are very happy'published at 18:27 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March 2023

    FT: Brighton 4-0 West Ham

    Brighton & Hove Albion

    Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi told BBC Sport: "I'm really happy for the result, but also the quality of play. In the second half it was a great game. My players played in a fantastic way and we have to continue like this, to follow the perfection. We are very happy.

    "I believe the best way to arrive at a good result is to play in a good way. For me that's the best solution.

    "We are angry to win every game and to make happy our fans and our club. Nothing changes whether it's the FA Cup or Premier League, we want to play at 100%."

    On his touchline ban, he said: "I prefer to stay on the bench, but I have to say thanks and give congratulations to my staff because they worked like me. It's not only the head coach, but all the staff is important."

  11. 'We deserved to take something'published at 18:26 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March 2023

    FT: Arsenal 3-2 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth

    Bournemouth boss Gary O'Neil, speaking to MOTD: "It's devastating obviously to lose in that way. The work the players put in, to lose as late on as we did is a tough one to take.

    "We performed well above what we should be but we're devastated that we suffered a late goal and deserved to take something. They [the players] will be fine. They are obviously very low at the moment. Arsenal are the best team in the country and are five points clear at the top."

  12. 'It's important for us to bounce back'published at 18:26 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March 2023

    FT: Aston Villa 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira, speaking to PL Productions: "Maybe, yes. That [disallowed goal] was an important moment of the game then after, of course, when the goal we concede is an own goal then there is the sending off.

    "Both teams did not create very much. But at the end, the details went against us but the disallowed goal was important, of course."

    On Doucoure's red card: "It's the decision of the referee, it's something we have to respect and go on. After that we managed to stay with the front two and defended really well.

    "We had a couple of situations but didn't create too much."

    On a tricky run of fixtures: "Of course getting a result is important. But we had a couple of tough games and at times we defended and played quite well. Today that wasn't really the case.

    "Overall, we knew how tough that run of games was going to be. It's important for us to get back and compete because we know that we can compete against teams like Manchester City. We did it against Liverpool and always at home we find the strength to compete at the level we can do.

    "I'm not more worried than I was after the game against Liverpool. It's important for us to bounce back and start winning games. Of course it is tight and we have to keep working well and working hard."

  14. 'Clean sheet is most important'published at 18:23 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March 2023

    FT: Wolves 1-0 Tottenham

    Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui, speaking to Match of the Day: "The three points are very, very important of course in each match. Today we are very happy but I have to be honest, to highlight that Tottenham can work. In the first half they overcame us.

    "In the second half I thought we could be better. We tried to overcome the difficulties and in the end we won but the match was very hard, as all the matches in the Premier League. We have a lot of points in front of us to achieve our aim.

    "Today fortunatetely we score. I think we make a good second half against a very good today. At the end we are happy."

    On the importance of the clean sheet: "It is a platform to be able to achieve your aims, it allows you to score one goal and win. The clean sheet is not easy against players like Harry Kane, Dejan Kulusevski, Son Heung-min. In the end it's the merit of the players, they have resilience and fortunately we score a very good goal to continue."

    On Adama Traore's goal: "It was a very good goal but the most important thing is the clean sheet, it's key."

  15. 'Important win for everybody's confidence'published at 18:23 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March 2023

    FT: Aston Villa 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Aston Villa

    Aston Villa manager Unai Emery: "Our idea was to win with a clean sheet - we did it. To keep everybody confident, it was an important victory. I'm very happy.

    "Of course, we can analyse the match and the first half and second half were very different. The first half was better, we deserved to win that half. They had a goal but it was offside but in that first half, we were playing like we are trying to do.

    "Second half is a little bit strange. We weren't very fluid but today we focus on the clean sheet and the win."

    On Palace's disallowed goal: "I respect the decision. VAR is clinical 100% and if they would have said we've conceded a goal then I would have accepted it. If not, continue and we did."

    On Boubacar Kamara injury: "I don't know, sadly. We are going to check with the doctor and it is very important to have that check."

    On Villa's style of play: "In football you have to win. What the idea is, what the style is and how we do that is my first challenge here. Of course, today, first was a clean sheet and second was to win after the last two home games we lost.

    "Then how we played, I think sometimes we played how we can and created some chances. Sometimes not, like in the second half."

    After all that, Carlos Alcaraz didn't come off. He was sitting on the bench for a second it seemed - and one of our stats feeds said Mohamed Elyounoussi had come on - but he ended up finishing the half.
