Fulham @ 7/5 Draw @ 2/1 Wolves @ 23/10

Fulham Recent Form: LWLLL

Wolves Recent Form: DLDLL

Fulham host Wolves on the Friday Night Football in another must win game for Scott Parker's side, with neither side in particularly good form ahead of this tie. Scott Parker's men suffered a setback as they surrendered a 1-0 lead to lose 3-1 against an Aston Villa side that was without star man and captain Jack Grealish. Their third successive defeat coupled with a late Newcastle goal means that Fulham are now three points behind the Magpies having played a game more. The visitors Fulham started brightly, with in form Aleksandar Mitrovic denied twice by Emiliano Martinez, while Villa thought they had a penalty in first-half stoppage time following Mario Lemina's challenge on Watkins, but that decision was overturned by VAR. Fulham did take the lead on 61 minutes, when Mitrovic latched onto Tyrone Mings's underhit back pass and rounded Martinez to coolly slot home his third goal of the season. Tyrone Mings to his credit atoned for his error, setting up substitute Trezeguet for the equaliser from 20 yards with 12 minutes remaining. Trezeguet made it two in three minutes (81) when fellow sub Keinan Davis delivered a fine cross that the Egyptian fired home on the half-volley. Ollie Watkins then made sure of the points with a close-range finish from Bertrand Traore's 87th-minute cross. It was a tough result for Fulham, who produced an excellent performance for nearly eighty minutes but were undone by the impact of substitutes Trezeguet and Keinan Davis. Only Southampton and Brighton have dropped more points from winning positions in the Premier League this season than Fulham.

"I didn’t think there was much in the game really. Both teams up until we scored the first goal huffed and puffed. But I thought we were pretty solid and always looked a threat." "For large parts today, I thought we were solid. The last 15 minutes I didn’t like at all, it’s something we need to address, and the players need to understand it." "The last 15 minutes you cannot brush under the carpet. We cannot move on too quickly without addressing. That needs to be addressed and we’ll address it first thing." "We can withstand the pressure; we’ve withstood the pressure for large parts this year. We’ve been very good defensively. Sometimes, like in a boxing match, you need take a knee, a count and regroup a little bit and survive."

Scott Parker lamented a costly last 15 minutes as his side threw away a 1-0 lead at Villa Park.

Wolves Lose Again

Wolves come into this game on the back of their third defeat in the last five, with West Ham beating them 3-2 at Molineux. That was unlucky number thirteen for Wolves as they fell to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of high flying West Ham at home. Nuno will be disappointed to have gone 3-0 down, especially given they have been defensively solid of late, despite the poor results. West Ham enjoyed a fast start, with Michail Antonio's shot tipped on to the post by Wolves' goalkeeper Rui Patricio, but he was powerless to prevent Lingard's stunning solo effort, with the Man United loanee running from his own half and giving West Ham a sixth-minute lead. Pablo Fornals doubled the Hammers' advantage on 14 minutes, as he converted a cutback by Arthur Masuaku, who was played in by a superb piece of skill from Lingard. It was 3-0 in the 38th minute, with Jarrod Bowen rifling a shot beyond Patricio after Lingard's fine run and pass. Wolves did manage to pull a goal back just before the break (44), when Leander Dendoncker headed in following a brilliant run and cross from Adama Traore. It was 3-2 on 68 minutes, with Fabio Silva drilling in Wolves' second from Pedro Neto's pass to set up a tense finale. But West Ham survived another potential nervy finish to secure all three points. That was another poor performance from Wolves, who have now lost six home Premier League games this season, their most in a single campaign since their return to the competition in 2018. That defeat sees them drop to 14th place and they are still five points from the safety mark of forty points.

"I’m not pleased with the way we started the game. In possession we were good, but very bad defending, especially on transitions of West Ham that we should have done better with." "They require different approaches, trying to stop the game and not allow players to run. All the good things we did in attack was taken away by how poor we approached these defensive situations." "We’ve been struggling with this situation and we are not starting the games well, we always concede first, and that’s something that we have to look at, but it’s not easy." "A couple of games before we’ve been able to deal with that situation, we have reverted that situation, with really good first-halves, but today we go back to that pattern of not staring well and conceding. That makes our tasks very difficult."

Nuno Espirito Santo said his sides defensive performance took away from a positive attacking showing.

Man City @ 1/4 Draw @ 5/1 Leeds @ 11/1

Man City Recent Form: WLWWW

Leeds Recent Form: LLDWW

Man City host Leeds at the Etihad in the first of three Saturday kick offs, with Pep Guardiola facing off against one of his managerial inspirations in Marcelo Bielsa. City have put together another impressive run after their defeat by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United. Their 2-0 win over third placed Leicester was their third successive win in the Premier League since that defeat and as it stands they have a fourteen point advantage over rivals United, albeit with a game in hand. The leaders dominated the first half, with Kevin De Bruyne striking the bar from a free-kick and Gabriel Jesus curling narrowly wide. The deadlock was broken by an unlikely source in Benjamin Mendy on 58 minutes, with the Frenchman jinking past Marc Albrighton before curling in only his second goal for the club. City went on to seal their win courtesy of substitute Raheem Sterling, with the winger setting up Gabriel Jesus to confirm victory with 16 minutes remaining. That was another excellent win and performance from Pep Guardiola's team, who are currently on 74 points and only need another 11 more points for a fifth Premier League title. That win also saw Manchester City continue their incredible run on the road, where they have won each of their last 15 away games in all competitions and are unbeaten in 18, last losing an away fixture in November 2020 against Tottenham. They also have the best defensive record in Europe's top five leagues, keeping more clean sheets (28) and conceded fewer goals (26) in all competitions this season.

"They are an incredible team, we suffered at home against them but we are more patient and it is a big step to winning the Premier League." "You never know after an international break but I trust my players. The players don't always believe me but I like every one of them, today I trust some of my players who haven't played for a while. When you are winning, winning, the guys who play know they have to play good to play again. There is good solidarity between the players." "The Premier League is the nicest competition [to win], it is 11 months and it is so tough. We are close. We need three more wins." "Sergio Aguero is fine, his knee is perfect. He needs the rhythm of games but we need players fresh. I am delighted the way he trained this week, nothing is going to change. Maybe one day we will need the one goal to win something and he will be there."

Pep Guardiola was delighted with his side and praised his side as they moved to within eleven points of a fifth title.

Leeds Secure Second Season

Leeds come into this match on the back of 2-1 win over Sheffield United, with Marcelo Bielsa's men confirming their place in next seasons Premier League. That win secured the double over Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United, but more crucially it took them to 42 points, level with Arsenal and means that there will be Premier League football at Elland Road for another year. They remain in 11th place and can now enjoy their remaining eight matches of the season. The hosts Leeds made a fast start, forcing Aaron Ramsdale into early saves from Kalvin Phillips and Stuart Dallas. But the Sheff Utd goalkeeper could do nothing to stop Jack Harrison's tap-in on 12 minutes after great work on the right hand side from Brazilian Raphinha's cross. Despite conceding, Ramsdale saved impressively again from Harrison on the half-hour mark. The Blades made Leeds pay as the sides went in level at the break after Ben Osborn equalised (45+2), following up on Oli McBurnie’s blocked shot. Leeds produced another quick start after the break and went back in front on 49 minutes, when Harrison’s cross was diverted into his own net by Jagielka. Aaron Ramsdale was on hand once more to deny Patrick Bamford while Oliver Burke went close to a second equaliser. It was a good performance and result for Leeds, who have been the best of the promoted sides and unlike West Brom and Fulham have comfortably secured their place in next seasons Premier League. Leeds have completed the league double over Sheffield United for the first time since the 1991-92 campaign, when they won the top-flight title. Leeds registered at least 20 shots in a Premier League game for the fifth time this season, with only Manchester City doing so more often so far this term.

"It was a game where we had the opportunity to score more goals than we did." "We should have finished more attacks with shots at goal and we should have scored more goals in regards of all of the shots we had." "It’s true, in the last few minutes, we had to fight to ensure the result stayed the way it did. We have not exceeded, we are satisfied (getting to 40 points with eight games to go)." "What we do in the final eight games will give a more definitive profile as to what we have done in our first year back. A winger like Lorimer would do well for us now, to finish our attacks." "Today we said goodbye in the manner he deserves and for us, we take pride in this."

Marcelo Bielsa gave his thoughts on his sides performance and admitted they should have won by more.

Liverpool @ 1/2 Draw @ 17/5 Aston Villa @ 11/2

Liverpool Recent Form: WLLWW

Aston Villa Recent Form: LDDLW

Liverpool take on Aston Villa at Anfield with the Reds still winless in 2021 at Anfield, they will also want to avenge their 7-2 defeat earlier in the season. Jurgen Klopp's men are currently on an abysmal run of six successive home defeats in the Premier League. They have managed to find wins on the road, with their latest result a comprehensive 3-0 defeat of Arsenal at the Emirates. That win moved them to seventh place and within one win of a top four spot with eight games to play. The visitors Liverpool dominated first-half possession without creating much in the way of clear-cut chances. Roberto Firmino curled wide on the half-hour mark before James Milner fired wide of a post from the edge of the penalty area shortly before the break. Arsenal's Cedric Soares, who had earlier replaced the injured Kieran Tierney, tested Alisson just after the hour-mark before another substitute broke the deadlock for Liverpool. Diogo Jota substitution proved to be the difference as he headed Trent Alexander-Arnold's pinpoint cross past Bernd Leno just two minutes after his introduction (63). Liverpool doubled their lead through Mohamed Salah in the 68th minute, before Jota produced a second from close range to seal the points with eight minutes remaining. That was a superb performance and result from Liverpool, who will be hoping that they have turned a corner with eight games remaining.

"For us, it was a very important statement for us because we need to show that we fight for it. We cannot only talk about it, we have to show it on the pitch and we did that, especially with the way we defended tonight." "If we defend like [we did] tonight then we are difficult to break down and if we are difficult to break down, we have a good basis to play good football – and that's what we did tonight, that's why it was so important." "In our situation it's clear, with all the things that happened to us in the past in this season, [they] brought us in a position where we don't have it in our hands." "We have to win our games and somebody else has to lose because we don't play most of them anymore, but we have to make pressure on them and that's what we did tonight with the result." "We are still not in the end of the season or finished; Everton can pass us, West Ham can pass us and all these kind of things, so we have to fight and that's the statement for us and nobody else."

Jürgen Klopp was delighted after watching his side secure a well deserved three points at the expense of Arsenal.

Villa Recover To Win

Aston Villa come into this game on the back of a 3-1 win over relegation threatened Fulham, ending their own poor run of form in the process. That win, their thirteenth of the season, was a timely reminder of their class this season and it ended a run of four games without a win. Dean Smith's men have moved up to ninth spot, with a win here moving them to within two points of Liverpool with a game in hand. The visitors Fulham started brightly, with in form Aleksandar Mitrovic denied twice by Emiliano Martinez, while Villa thought they had a penalty in first-half stoppage time following Mario Lemina's challenge on Watkins, but that decision was overturned by VAR. Fulham did take the lead on 61 minutes, when Mitrovic latched onto Tyrone Mings's underhit back pass and rounded Martinez to coolly slot home his third goal of the season. Tyrone Mings to his credit atoned for his error, setting up substitute Trezeguet for the equaliser from 20 yards with 12 minutes remaining. Trezeguet made it two in three minutes (81) when fellow sub Keinan Davis delivered a fine cross that the Egyptian fired home on the half-volley. Ollie Watkins then made sure of the points with a close-range finish from Bertrand Traore's 87th-minute cross. That was a fantastic late rally from Aston Villa, who now have 44 points after 29 Premier League games this season - 18 more than they did in 2019-20 - their highest number in a top-flight campaign at this stage since 2009-10, when they had 50 and went on to finish sixth. Before his quickfire double against Fulham, with his two goals coming just 160 seconds apart, Trézéguet had attempted more shots without scoring than any other player in this season's Premier League (29).

"There’s an awful lot of character in this dressing room. We have really good people as well as players within the squad. There’s a togetherness about us. We know it hasn’t been scintillating football over the last seven or eight games, but they certainly work hard enough to get results and big performances." "I think some of them at the end of that game have played themselves into form again. There was a great response today. Ty ends up getting the assist for Trez and then Keinan comes on and gets another assist for Trez." "They’re not a bad team. I don’t think that they should be in the position they’re in, but you have to play what’s in front of you. We probably negated each other at times. Two similar systems of plays – both trying to play through the thirds. I’m delighted with the result and the impact the substitutes made."

Dean Smith was delighted with his sides late comeback win against Fulham.

Crystal Palace @ 6/1 Draw @ 29/10 Chelsea @ 8/15

Crystal Palace Recent Form: DDLWD

Chelsea Recent Form: DWWDL

Crystal Palace take on Chelsea at Selhurst Park, with Thomas Tuchel looking to avenge his first defeat as manager of Chelsea. Palace come into this game on the back of a winning 1-1 draw away against Everton, with Michy Batshuayi's late goal after coming on a substitute enough to earn Roy Hodgson's men a vital point. That draw means Palace remain in 12th place on 38 points, just two away from the vital forty point mark.

Crystal Palace's goalkeeper Vicente Guaita was the busier of the two goalkeepers in the first half, saving from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison.

The Brazilian forward then spurned two good chances to put Everton in front before the break, but Rodriguez did make the breakthrough on 56 minutes as his low shot from Seamus Coleman's cutback beat Guaita at his near post. Richarlison missed a further two chances as he was denied by Palace's goalkeeper as Everton failed to add a second. Palace made them pay as Michy Batshuayi scored two minutes after coming on as a substitute, after the Belgian striker was teed up by Jeffrey Schlupp in the 86th minute to cancel out a goal by James Rodriguez on his return to the home side's starting line-up. That was a spirited result and performance from Crystal Palace, who have suffered just one defeat in their last six Premier League games, after losing four of the six before that. They have struggled defensively though, with just one clean sheet in their last 19 Premier League away games, and that came in a goalless draw at Arsenal in January. Only Sheffield United have kept fewer clean sheets on the road than the Eagles this season.

"I don’t agree with that. We came back from 1-0 down, but we had as much possession as them, we had as many opportunities as them and we had as many chances as them." "I am pleased that we got back in. I’m grateful to our ‘keeper, but the chances came haphazardly and not from us getting cut open. Otherwise I thought we were every bit as good as Everton." "It’s nice to get over the 40-point mark to keep us in the league,” he said. “If we play as well and look as dangerous as we did this evening, I’m hopeful we’ll get more points and get into the top-half. That would be very nice." "I’m not so certain you will need 40 points to be brutally honest. It’s going to be very, very hard for Newcastle and Fulham to get that. I wouldn’t like to be in their position."

Roy Hodgson felt his side were deserving of the draw and felt his side had enough points to avoid the drop.

Palace

Chelsea Beaten By Baggies

Chelsea come into the match having been stunned 5-2 at home against relegation threatened West Brom, Tuchel's first defeat as Chelsea manager. The first game after the international break produced the biggest shock, with Thomas Tuchel's eleven game unbeaten run as Chelsea manager was ended in tremendous fashion by a Baggies side that have now scored eight goals against the Blues this season. Chelsea took the lead on 27 minutes, when Christian Pulisic converted a rebound from Marcos Alonso’s free-kick. But two minutes later the game turned on its head when the hosts lost Thiago Silva to a red card for a second booking. West Brom made that advantage count as they went ahead with two Matheus Pereira goals in first-half stoppage time (45+2 and 45+4) as Chelsea conceded and went behind for the first time under Tuchel at home. The visitors extended their lead to 4-1 with another quick-fire double through brilliant goals from Callum Robinson (63) and Mbaye Diagne (68) midway through the second half. Chelsea pulled one back from half-time substitute Mason Mount in the 71st minute, but any hopes of a comeback ended when Pereira played in Robinson in stoppage time (90+1) to make it 5-2. That was a deeply disappointing result and performance from Thomas Tuchel's side, it was the first time the Blues have conceded at home under Thomas Tuchel in all competitions, in the Blues' eighth game at Stamford Bridge with the German coach in charge.

"You have to accept that you will never know what would have happened if you choose your team in a different way." "It is my responsibility clearly and like my players with this loss, I am very disappointed because we hate to lose, and we went for this selection because we had an excellent training session yesterday and we had the guys on the pitch today who finished this training session yesterday." "We had a lot of players yesterday who could not do the full training because of the Wednesday [international] games and the travelling, so I trusted this line-up and I think this line-up was strong enough to win this game." "But we were rusty, we were sloppy in the build-up in our own half, we did many unforced errors, we did not adapt our positions well under pressure and we gave away easy ball losses that led on to a red card and that cost us the game today."

Thomas Tuchel was disappointed with his sides performance and gave an honest assessment on how events unfolded in their home defeat to West Brom.

Burnley Recent Form: LDDWL

Newcastle Recent Form: DDDLD

Burnley take on Newcastle at Turf Moor this weekend, with this game a huge six pointer in the battle for relegation. Sean Dyche's men come into this match on the back of a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Southampton. This will be hugely disappointing for the Clarets given that they'd taken a 2-0 lead, but former Claret Danny Ings inspired the Saints to a first Premier League double over Burnley. The Clarets took a commanding 2-0 lead, courtesy of a Chris Wood penalty in the 12th minute, and a thumping half volley from Matej Vydra in the 28th. But Southampton fought back and went into half-time level. Danny Ings teed up Stuart Armstrong on 31 minutes before the striker turned from provider to scorer with a great piece of skill and composure to equalise three minutes before the break. James Ward-Prowse crashed an effort against the crossbar and Nick Pope made stunning saves from Armstrong and Ings to keep the tie at 2-2. But Nathan Redmond volleyed in to complete the turnaround and gift the Saints a 3-2 lead on 66 minutes. Burnley might have rescued a late point but the dangerous Wood was twice denied by Fraser Forster. That was a tough result for Burnley to take, especially after going 2-0 up away from home. That means Burnley head into this game seven points above the relegation zone and four ahead of their opponents Newcastle. Matej Vydra has scored two goals in his last four Premier League games for Burnley, as many as he had in his previous 45 appearances in the competition combined.

"Without being disrespectful to Southampton we gave them a chance to come and win a game and we shouldn’t have done that." "We often lock games down, but we were a little bit naïve by our standards in that last 15 minutes of the first half and made some poor decisions at key moments, and suddenly, from nowhere, they had a feel for the game." "In the second half it was a bit of a ding-dong, to be fair. The third goal is a bit of a disappointment because we had the ball on the edge of their box and gave it away too easily." "Both keepers made saves and it was end-to-end before Woody has a real chance, right at the end, to make it a 3-3. But in the end it wasn’t to be and we do know how to see games out better than that. Today, we just didn’t do it."

Sean Dyche felt naivety cost his side dearly as they threw away three vital points at St Mary's.

Burnley

Magpies Rescue A Point

Newcastle come into this game having rescued another late point against Tottenham, with on loan Gunner Joe Willock scoring the equaliser against his parent clubs rivals. It was a gutsy performance from Steve Bruce's side, who were looking to make amends after a poor performance pre international break against Brighton. That draw coupled with a defeat for Fulham against Manchester United means that the Magpies have a three point advantage with a game in hand. Hugo Lloris was busy early on as he made a superb double save to deny Dwight Gayle, with Newcastle taking a shock lead through Joelinton's first-time finish on 28 minutes. That lead lasted just 90 seconds, with Harry Kane tapped in from close range before the striker fired in superbly to score his second and give Spurs a 34th-minute 2-1 advantage. It took until the 85th minute for the game to spring back into life. Kane, who now leads the Golden Boot race with 19 goals, hit a post moments before Willock, on loan at Newcastle from Arsenal, blasted in off the underside of the crossbar from close range to equalise in the 85th minute. This was an impressive performance and result from Newcastle, who produced a performance that was night and day from the one that they showed against Brighton. They will need to produce that level for the final eight games of the season if they are to have any chance of remaining in the league.

"We're pleased but, in my opinion, it should have been three points. I thought we were the better side, it's as good as I've seen us play for a long time, especially after the debacle of two weeks ago." "We've done as well as we could have hoped, we're just disappointed we haven't won it. But you take a point and move on. There was the performance, which I was really pleased with, considering what's happened over the last couple of weeks." "The spirit in the camp and the togetherness is, in my opinion, always going to be there. I alluded to it before the game, we have to it with so much nonsense up here, but after a poor five minutes where we gave the goals away, the response was there for everybody to see. The spirit is never in doubt." "The performance is what you're looking for after a such a poor one. We all know we let ourselves down a couple of weeks ago, so to come out here and perform against a very good team in Tottenham, I thought they were excellent. I couldn't say anything else."

Steve Bruce was delighted with his sides performance as they gained what could be another vital point in their quest for survival.

West Ham welcome Leicester to the London Stadium in a clash that sees fourth place take on third. David Moyes' men come into the match on the back of another excellent win, their fifteenth of the season, as they beat Wolves by 3-2 at Molineux. It's a win that sees them return to the top four and another win here would see them move to within a point of Leicester. West Ham enjoyed a fast start, with Michail Antonio's shot tipped on to the post by Wolves' goalkeeper Rui Patricio, but he was powerless to prevent Lingard's stunning solo effort, with the Man United loanee running from his own half and giving West Ham a sixth-minute lead. Pablo Fornals doubled the Hammers' advantage on 14 minutes, as he converted a cutback by Arthur Masuaku, who was played in by a superb piece of skill from Lingard. It was 3-0 in the 38th minute, with Jarrod Bowen rifling a shot beyond Patricio after Lingard's fine run and pass. Wolves did manage to pull a goal back just before the break (44), when Leander Dendoncker headed in following a brilliant run and cross from Adama Traore. It was 3-2 on 68 minutes, with Fabio Silva drilling in Wolves' second from Pedro Neto's pass to set up a tense finale. But West Ham survived another potential nervy finish to secure all three points. That was an excellent performance from the Hammers, who were without one of their main men in Declan Rice, but that didn't prevent the Hammers and Jesse Lingard in particular from producing a stunning away win. West Ham have won seven away Premier League games this season, their joint-best return in a single campaign in the competition. This was also West Ham's first-ever top-flight double over Wolves, and the first in any league season since the 1922-23 Second Division.

"It was an unbelievable game of football! We’ll keep it going. The boys are doing a brilliant job. We’re getting a wee bit threadbare at the moment, as you can see, but it didn’t show for periods of the game." "If it’s to do with commitment and courage and bits like that, we’ve got bundles of that. We scored three scintillating goals. They were so good. Jesse and Micky were a handful for them and the boys did a good job." "I was concerned we had been giving up a few opportunities, which in the end led to them getting a goal just before half-time, so was thinking it was deja-vu, here is Arsenal coming all over again!" "But we managed to keep them out, just about, and get a result."

David Moyes was delighted after seeing his side secure their seventh away win of the season.

Foxes Soundly Beaten

Leicester come into this match on the back of a convincing 2-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City. That was the Foxes' eighth defeat of the season and one that sees them slip four points behind second placed Manchester United. The leaders dominated the first half, with Kevin De Bruyne striking the bar from a free-kick and Gabriel Jesus curling narrowly wide. The deadlock was broken by an unlikely source in Benjamin Mendy on 58 minutes, with the Frenchman jinking past Marc Albrighton before curling in only his second goal for the club. City went on to seal their win courtesy of substitute Raheem Sterling, with the winger setting up Gabriel Jesus to confirm victory with 16 minutes remaining. That was a poor performance and result from Leicester, one that will have really disappointed the manager. The Foxes failed to muster a single shot in the first half for the first time in a Premier League game since December 2019 against Liverpool. Jamie Vardy also had a quiet game, with the veteran striker registering 14 touches vs Manchester City - 28 fewer than any other outfielder who played 90 minutes.

"The best team won the game. We were competitive in the first half and defensively didn’t concede so much. We weren’t so good with the ball. We just didn’t quite have that efficiency and speed in our game, but still kept the score at 0-0." "It looked like we maybe scored towards the end of the first half with a good move, but it was just offside. We’re disappointed with the two goals that we conceded." "The first one, we could have been better in. We opened up the space and just lost our organisation a little bit, then it opened up the space centrally." "Then, the second one was from a throw-in, which disappoints us, because we spoke about that, that space. They try to throw it from mid-pitch into the middle of your organisation and they did that. We weren’t alert to that." "We had some chances in the game, but we can have no complaints. We’re disappointed with the result, but we’ll take 24 hours, and we’ll go again."

Brendan Rodgers was magnanimous in defeat and conceded his side lost to the better team.

Tottenham take on Man United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a mouth watering clash that sees Jose taking on one of his former sides. Spurs come into this game on the back of a 2-2 draw away against Newcastle, with a late Joe Willock goal denying them three points for the second time this season, with the Magpies frustrating them with a 1-1 draw earlier in the season as well. Hugo Lloris was busy early on as he made a superb double save to deny Dwight Gayle, with Newcastle taking a shock lead through Joelinton's first-time finish on 28 minutes. That lead lasted just 90 seconds, with Harry Kane tapped in from close range before the striker fired in superbly to score his second and give Spurs a 34th-minute 2-1 advantage. It took until the 85th minute for the game to spring back into life. Kane, who now leads the Golden Boot race with 19 goals, hit a post moments before Willock, on loan at Newcastle from Arsenal, blasted in off the underside of the crossbar from close range to equalise in the 85th minute. That was a poor result and performance from Jose Mourinho's men, the Portuguese would have been gutted to have conceded the two goals in the manner that they did and will be equally frustrated that they have thrown away four points against Newcastle this season. Tottenham have failed to win six Premier League games this season in which they led at half-time, the most of any side. They have also dropped 11 points due to goals conceded in the final 10 minutes of games this season, the most of any Premier League side.

"It is not a good point. We should and we can, with the objective to win so I'm not happy with a point. I don't want to go very deep on my analysis because I feel that what I feel, what I think, what I want to say cannot be with you, it can only be in the dressing room." "If I analyse the performance separated from so many mistakes that lead to instability and instability leads to hope in the opposition, if I want to analyse it separate from that, I think we were very good in some moments… But I cannot do it. I cannot separate the game from these moments of instability and that's the reason why we didn't the game." "Every point for Newcastle can be a crucial point. Of course we knew that and until the game was over, they were going to fight. We come to the second half with the intention of killing it and in fact, the biggest chance of the second half was just before the 2-2 where we hit the post." "But we knew they were going to fight until the end and I think because of that fighting spirit and also because they were probably feeling a bit of fragility, they went until the end and got the point."

Jose Mourinho cut a frustrated figure as they dropped another two points against Newcastle.

Spurs

United Edge Brighton

Manchester United come into the match on the back of their seventeenth win of the season, a 2-1 win against Brighton. It was a typical performance from United this season, they have routinely fallen behind in games due to defensive lapses but have found a way to win more often than not. It's a win that gives them a four point cushion in second place and another win here could move them seven clear depending on Leicester's result against West Ham. United started the match well, with Bruno Fernandes firing over and Greenwood hitting the post in a lively opening by the home side. But it was Brighton who took the lead on 13 minutes, when former Red Devil Danny Welbeck fired home against his former club after his initial header had been parried by goalkeeper Dean Henderson. Brighton had opportunities to add a second but Harry Maguire's last-ditch tackle denied Neal Maupay moments before Jakub Moder's deflected shot rolled inches wide before the break. United levelled on 62 minutes, with Fernandes driving forward and brilliantly playing in Marcus Rashford, who guided the ball into the far corner. Solskjaer's side pushed for a winner, and with seven minutes remaining Greenwood secured victory with a close-range header to divert Paul Pogba's scuffed shot beyond Robert Sanchez's reach. It was another mixed performance from United but they produced the vital win. Manchester United have won 25 points from losing positions in the Premier League this season, nine more than any other side; Brighton meanwhile have dropped 20 points from winning positions, three more than anyone else. Manchester United have won eight Premier League games after conceding first this season - only Newcastle United in 2001-02 and Manchester United themselves in 2012-13 have won more such games in a single season.

"It's always difficult to play Brighton. We have had good results and we've had to earn them the hard way. We managed to find a way in the second half." "Danny [Welbeck] was in the reserves when I was the coach. He is a big talent. It's great to see him back playing football with all the injuries he has had. We gave it away sloppily [for his goal]. Dean [Henderson] makes a good save first but then the rebound comes in. We had to come in at half time and compose ourselves as we didn't create much after they scored." "I thought we started well but when they scored, after that we couldn't find our rhythm again and we needed half-time to compose ourselves and go again. Second half we played some good stuff. More runs in behind, more movement, better movement."

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer commended his side as they secured a league double over the Seagulls.

Arsenal Recent Form: WDWDL

Sheffield United host Arsenal at Bramall Lane this weekend, with the Blades desperately looking to salvage some pride from their remaining games. The Blades come into this match on the back of their twenty fourth defeat of the season, this time a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Yorkshire rivals Leeds, who also did the double over them in the process. The win for West Brom means Sheffield United are seven points adrift at the bottom of the table. The hosts Leeds made a fast start, forcing Aaron Ramsdale into early saves from Kalvin Phillips and Stuart Dallas. But the Sheff Utd goalkeeper could do nothing to stop Jack Harrison's tap-in on 12 minutes after great work on the right hand side from Brazilian Raphinha's cross. Despite conceding, Ramsdale saved impressively again from Harrison on the half-hour mark. The Blades made Leeds pay as the sides went in level at the break after Ben Osborn equalised (45+2), following up on Oli McBurnie’s blocked shot. Leeds produced another quick start after the break and went back in front on 49 minutes, when Harrison’s cross was diverted into his own net by Jagielka. Aaron Ramsdale was on hand once more to deny Patrick Bamford while Oliver Burke went close to a second equaliser. That was a much better showing from Paul Heckingbottom's men than the Leicester showing, but sadly the result itself was still the same. Sheffield United suffered their 24th league defeat of the season in just 30 games - in their league history they've only ever lost more in 1975-76 and 2010-11. The Blades goal today was just their seventh away from home in the Premier League all season, with this strike their first in five away league games.

"The effort and the fight was there. There were too many moments where we lacked quality. We gave Leeds their best chances on the counter." "That was the most frustrating thing. We came back into the game winning set-pieces in good positions but then the quality wasn't there. We were our worst enemy today." "As the first half wore on we kept winning the ball higher up, but again, we didn't open them up and had too many shots from distance and too many lost balls." "In the second half it was similar, but we got opened up again when we didn't fully commit to a break. We couldn't quite put them under pressure."

Paul Heckingbottom gave an honest assessment of his sides performance against Leeds.

Arsenal Hammered By Liverpool

Arsenal come into this match on the back of one of their worst performances of the season as they were soundly beaten by Liverpool at the Emirates. Mikel Arteta's men come into this game having been beaten soundly by a margin of 3-0 against a Liverpool side that have struggled for large parts of the season. They produced just two shots on target and had a total of 35% possession, simply not good enough even for this Arsenal side. The visitors Liverpool dominated first-half possession without creating much in the way of clear-cut chances. Roberto Firmino curled wide on the half-hour mark before James Milner fired wide of a post from the edge of the penalty area shortly before the break. Arsenal's Cedric Soares, who had earlier replaced the injured Kieran Tierney, tested Alisson just after the hour-mark before another substitute broke the deadlock for Liverpool. Diogo Jota substitution proved to be the difference as he headed Trent Alexander-Arnold's pinpoint cross past Bernd Leno just two minutes after his introduction (63). Liverpool doubled their lead through Mohamed Salah in the 68th minute, before Jota produced a second from close range to seal the points with eight minutes remaining. That defeat means that Arsenal drop to 10th place in the table and remain on 42 points, with Mikel Arteta suffering a worse record from his opening 50 games than both Unai Emery and the last 50 games of the Wenger era. The manner of that defeat will worry Arteta, especially if they were to be knocked out of the Europa League, that would be the end of their season and arguably mean no European football at the Emirates next season.

"First of all, I apologise to our supporters for the display and the show that we saw today that I am very, very disappointed about," he told Arsenal Media. "When you don't do the basics right against a team like Liverpool, you don't have any chance even to complete in the game, which is exactly what happened. "It's unacceptable. At that level it's unacceptable. To not be at 100% is unacceptable to our people and for a lot of work that we put in so what happened today is nowhere near what we want to do. It gives you a really bad gut feeling. It's a big shock to the system that one. We weren't expecting that one the way they were training, the way they've been playing but I can put it down to the level that Liverpool played today, which was really, really high as well. But ours was so far [below], so bad - it was unacceptable. "Talking on the pitch, outside the pitch, in the dressing room, in front of the cameras is easy," Arteta added. "We have to put our head down, take all the shots and the criticism because we deserve that and show a different face on Thursday."

West Brom Recent Form: WLDLW

Southampton Recent Form: LWLLW

West Brom take on Southampton on the Monday Night Football with both sides looking to build on their excellent wins last weekend.

Sam Allardyce's men come into this match having pulled off the biggest shock of the weekend having ended Thomas Tuchel's eleven game unbeaten streak by 5-2 at Stamford Bridge. It was West Brom's fourth win of the season and means they come into this game eight points from safety.

Chelsea took the lead on 27 minutes, when Christian Pulisic converted a rebound from Marcos Alonso’s free-kick. But two minutes later the game turned on its head when the hosts lost Thiago Silva to a red card for a second booking.

West Brom made that advantage count as they went ahead with two Matheus Pereira goals in first-half stoppage time (45+2 and 45+4) as Chelsea conceded and went behind for the first time under Tuchel at home.

The visitors extended their lead to 4-1 with another quick-fire double through brilliant goals from Callum Robinson (63) and Mbaye Diagne (68) midway through the second half.

Chelsea pulled one back from half-time substitute Mason Mount in the 71st minute, but any hopes of a comeback ended when Pereira played in Robinson in stoppage time (90+1) to make it 5-2.

That was the result and performance of the season from West Brom. Sam Allardyce became the first manager to win away at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League with three different clubs (Bolton Wanderers, Crystal Palace, West Brom).

"We’ve just demolished Chelsea. Demolished them. The quality of our football and the quality of our finishing today deserves a huge amount of credit."
“I don’t want any talk of the fact they went down to ten men rubbish. Demolishing Chelsea’s ten men today was still a massive task."
“What we did after that, in terms of punishing them was absolutely top drawer. It was a top, top, top quality performance from the West Brom lads today."
“It was a quality ball over the top from Sam. Matheus gets on the move and gets behind the defender and then him in that position, you couldn’t wish for a better player."
“It such a lovely little finish. All five goals were great goals. Callum came off the bench and got two. Matheus could’ve even had a hat-trick. Mbaye scoring will be a big boost for him too.”

Sam Allardyce was delighted as his side demolished Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Saints Come From Behind

Southampton come into this match having come from 2-0 down to beat Burnley 3-2 at St.Mary's for their tenth win of the season.

It looked like it was going to be another dismal defeat for Ralph Hasenhuttl's side but they managed to dig deep and came from behind to beat Sean Dyche's Burnley 3-2. That win moves them above Wolves into 13th place and a win here would move them into 12th, above Crystal Palace depending on their result.

The Clarets took a commanding 2-0 lead, courtesy of a Chris Wood penalty in the 12th minute, and a thumping half volley from Matej Vydra in the 28th.

But Southampton fought back and went into half-time level. Danny Ings teed up Stuart Armstrong on 31 minutes before the striker turned from provider to scorer with a great piece of skill and composure to equalise three minutes before the break.

James Ward-Prowse crashed an effort against the crossbar and Nick Pope made stunning saves from Armstrong and Ings to keep the tie at 2-2. But Nathan Redmond volleyed in to complete the turnaround and gift the Saints a 3-2 lead on 66 minutes.

Burnley might have rescued a late point but the dangerous Wood was twice denied by Fraser Forster.

That was an excellent result and performance from Southampton, who registered just their third win in their last 19 Premier League matches. That was Southampton's first Premier League home win since their first game in 2021 (1-0 v Liverpool), ending a run of five league games at St. Mary's without a victory.

The Saints have also won a Premier League game that they had trailed by two goals in for the first time since March 2016, when they won 3-2 against Liverpool under Ronald Koeman - a game in which Sadio Mane netted a brace for the Saints.

"We didn’t have a very good start with the penalty and the second goal. Maybe the opponent was a bit too sure of the win, as then we were trying to do what we wanted to do from the beginning."
"You can see how much quality we have when we create so many chances against such a side that is normally defending very well and very deep."
"It’s not so easy to score and create in such a game but it was important that we did it in a fantastic way and this definitely gives us a boost."
"Today it’s fantastic to see and it’s always good when you work on things and see the result at the weekend. I must say we were good to watch and I always had the feeling that we could score and always had the feeling we could stretch them, and this is how we have to do it in the future also and then we are a good side."

Ralph Hasenhuttl felt his side fully deserved the win and were a great watch.

Everton Recent Form: WWLLD

Brighton take on Everton at the Amex Stadium in the final game from this round of fixtures, with both Brighton and Everton desperate for the points.

Graham Potter's side come into the match on the back of a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester United, with a late Greenwood goal enough to condemn the Seagulls to successive defeats. It means Potter's men come into this tie six points above the relegation zone in 16th place.

United started the match well, with Bruno Fernandes firing over and Greenwood hitting the post in a lively opening by the home side.

But it was Brighton who took the lead on 13 minutes, when former Red Devil Danny Welbeck fired home against his former club after his initial header had been parried by goalkeeper Dean Henderson.

Brighton had opportunities to add a second but Harry Maguire's last-ditch tackle denied Neal Maupay moments before Jakub Moder's deflected shot rolled inches wide before the break.

United levelled on 62 minutes, with Fernandes driving forward and brilliantly playing in Marcus Rashford, who guided the ball into the far corner.

Solskjaer's side pushed for a winner, and with seven minutes remaining Greenwood secured victory with a close-range header to divert Paul Pogba's scuffed shot beyond Robert Sanchez's reach.

That was another tough result for the Seagulls, who have put in two good performances against United this season and come away with nothing. They remain winless away from home against Manchester United in 13 attempts in all competitions.

Brighton's former United striker Danny Welbeck became the first player to score as many as three Premier League goals against Manchester United. His other two goals against them came for Arsenal in February 2016 and May 2017.

"It’s a tough one for us. In the first half we played well and carried a threat. We restricted them to not too many chances at all, but they scored from the opportunities they had."
"The quality they have has done us in the end but there are a lot of positives for us to take."
"Maybe we could have had a penalty for the tackle on Danny, but we got pushed back a bit more than we would have liked in the second half and missed some opportunities to attack when we could."
"Over the course of the game we did a lot well, but when you’re 1-0 up you want to try and hold on and get something. On another day we could have done that. We just need to move forward to the last eight games and get the points we need."

Graham Potter said the defeat against United was tough to take after conceding another late goal.

Everton Concede Late

Everton come into this game on the back of a frustrating draw against Crystal Palace, with Carlo Ancelotti's men throwing away a lead in the dying minutes of the game.

The Toffees conceded with four minutes of normal time remaining, with Michy Batshuayi scoring two minutes after coming on as a substitute. That extends Everton's winless run to three matches, but a win here would take them above Merseyside rivals Liverpool and Tottenham who are currently in 7th and 6th respectively.

Crystal Palace's goalkeeper Vicente Guaita was the busier of the two goalkeepers in the first half, saving from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison.

Richarlison missed a further two chances as he was denied by Palace's goalkeeper as Everton failed to add a second.

Palace made them pay as Michy Batshuayi scored two minutes after coming on as a substitute, after the Belgian striker was teed up by Jeffrey Schlupp in the 86th minute to cancel out a goal by James Rodriguez on his return to the home side's starting line-up.

It was a poor result for the Toffees, who will be devastated to have conceded so late in the piece. Everton were wasteful at both ends of the pitch, having mustered 15 shots in the game, only managing more in a league game this season once before, against West Brom in September.

"The reason [for not winning] was we were not able to kill the game when we had the opportunity. We had a lot of chances, which, in the last games, we didn’t have. We were not ready [to take those opportunities]."
"Usually, our strikers in that situation were, in the past, really clinical. Tonight, they could have done better. After we opened the scoring, we had opportunities and could have closed the game. In the end, sometimes this can happen."
"In the last 10 minutes, you have to defend, you maybe don’t have the energy and maybe a little mistake can affect the result. That’s what happened in the last situation [Palace's goal]. A little mistake [at the back] undid us and we have two points fewer."
"The position in Europe is still there. We are in the fight and have one game in hand. But when you deserve to win, you have to win. We have to be more focused to avoid these kinds of situations."

Carlo Ancelotti said his side remain in the hunt for European football but must cut out the mistakes that cost them two points against Palace.
