Chelsea about to ensure Stoke give Hughes a pink slip before the new year. 3-0. Pedro

HT Leicester hang on to their 1 goal lead. Liverpool have just dumped 75 mill in the one area where they desperately need it to complete a decent team. Smart move and a small price to pay in this stupid market.

Liverpool should win this comfortably after the break. They have controlled things since the first 10 minutes and should already have stuck a couple away. Bit more care in front of goal and they'll get 2 or 3.

Klopp has them always looking to get the ball forward. It's very refreshing and the proper way to play football. Occasionally they revert to Pep style rubbish and it doesn't suit them at all. Hopefully the game develops toward's Klopp's way of thinking and away from Pep's - then it will be enjoyable to watch again. Of course for Arsenal fans nothing will change either way.

1-1 Salad dances it in. Leicester complaining about something and then 2 yellows for something or other.

Matip is such a wuss. He gets a little clip to the mouth, enough to swat a fly, and rolls around clearing away the non-existent blood and then has to go off to be pampered.

Ox coming on. I remember him.

2-1 Salad

[Globalgunner]

Salad is really dressing this league with some quality.
Toss up between him and Debruyne over player of the season, so far.

And Rooney.

And Rooney.

Rooney is the EPL player of this century, without a doubt

[Niall_Quinn]

Very good game to watch, up until now where it's gone a bit pub quality.
