    Manchester United v Chelsea Managers grudge match should be interesting.

    Then the big one.
    The Carabao Cup final

    Hopefully Pep city lose.

    Surely the big match today is Chelsea v Utd? Particularly if you're a Liverpool fan.

    The world would be a better place if they lost the league as well and Liverpool won it. :)

    Alli is unbookable, isn't he?

    Oh, for f***s sake, Palace - you were so close a point!

    Spurs nicking the win has pissed me right off now. What's the best result for this game?

    On the one hand Chelsea to lose leaves us 4 points clear but a draw denies both of them points. Utd to lose is always enjoyable but then that closes it down to 2 points across all 4 teams.

    I can't in all conscience hope Utd win so I'll take the draw I think.

    Guess that's the best outcome of this fixture - for a Liverpool or Sp*rs fan that is. Would love an Alonso goal for my FPL team, though.

    Incredible! I am stuck at London Heathrow Airport for some hours with nothing to do, so thought I for once would check out the United - Chelsea game. (I would normally avoid watching any of these boring, soulless clubs, but when you are desperate for something to do, you resort to extreme meassures...)

    Finding a café or pub showing Premier League at one of London's main airports shouldn't be a problem right? Yes, it very much is, apparently! I forgot that interest in football is basically non existent in England! At Oslo Gardermoen I know of at least three different places I could watch this game. Here the best I could find was a broadcast of some news channel I have never heard of...

    Well, well... I am sure I'm not missing much. It is probably for the best anyway!

    Yeah I've been caught out like that before. Had to pick the missus up at Heathrow and it was Liverpool v Scum. I was seething that there was no pub in the airport that had Sky.

    There's a pub just down the road from Hatton Cross tube I use which, depending on how long you have and which terminal you are at, might be an option. Although with only 25 mins left not worth it.

    Thanks for the tip, but when for the full match it wouldn't be worth it...

    United scores again. That's one less point for Alonso in FPL. Had Burnley and Brighton kept their clean sheets, this gameweek would have looked decent.

    Chelsea not looked good this second half. Denied a goal for offside, which shouldn't have been given, possibly? Just saw the replay a little to late.

    2 Burnley defenders and Pope so that Southampton goal against Burnley wound me right up. Especially as the mug ref helped them out with the assist.

    Yeah. The defender's foot playing him on. I daresay VAR would've picked it up.

    Tripple up? That's brave! Burnley due some clean sheets, though - but Heaton might be back soon. Must look at that wildcard eventually!

    Too bad. Would have been great to see those De Gea save points go away.

    Crossing my fingers numb - that's the best I can do right now! Mkhitaryan cup tied for this one, right? Didn't see him in the line up.

    Well, they can drop defending now. Might as well just go all attack Klopp mode.
