TALKING POINT Should Manchester City have had a second penalty? After a quiet start this game exploded into life just before half-time, with the third major VAR incident between these two teams in ten months. Lloris appeared to have been a yard off his line when Gundogan struck the penalty that he would save, and then could easily have conceded another when he rashly dived in at the feet of Sterling and missed the ball.

Hosts Bournemouth are in 18th place and one point from safety, while visitors Watford are 19th and two points away from said safe zone. The Cherries are in desperate need of results to curb an awful run that has seen them plummet down the table. Eight defeats from their last ten games have piled a serious amount of pressure on Eddie Howe's side, the most recent being a humiliating 4-0 loss at West Ham.
There have not been that many changes but it's a different way of playing. Despite the defeat, we played well in the second half, we controlled the game and created opportunities to score. But today goals are what count and Valencia took their chances better than we did. Barcelona still top the La Liga standings but could be overtaken by Real Madrid who face Real Valladolid away on Sunday.
The hosts may be newly promoted and indeed they lost their opening game of the season with 3-0 at home to another newly promoted side Oshmyany but it was a weird game in which they received two red cards, and I watched opening parts of that game as I had a bet on over 2.5 goals and also on both teams scoring and in early stages of that game Arsenal looked very dominant and even while playing 9 vs 10 men as the guests also received a red card they were also the dominant side but were caught on counters and ended up losing 3-0 the game.
Paulo Dybala, Cristiano RonaldoGetty Images The two players have struck up a partnership on and off the field, becoming friends away from the pitch, while firing 76 combined goals since Ronaldo joined Dybala at the club.

Charlton chairman Matt Southall says he worries football is "paying lip service" to anti-racism after Jonathan Leko questioned the time taken to ban Leeds' Kiko Casilla for abusing him. An independent regulatory commission took 22 weeks to find Casilla guilty, with the goalkeeper consequently banned for eight matches and fined £60,000. West Bromwich Albion's Leko was on loan at Charlton when the incident occurred.
Premier League title wins: 3 Jose Mourinho won the Premier League three times in two spells at Chelsea and also finished second with Manchester United in 2017-18Shearer: "Jose's record is just incredible. When he first came in he had this arrogance that I think people loved and enjoyed - he had incredible belief in his ability and rightly so. But he's slightly changed over the years. Wright: "When I watch the Chelsea team, especially of his second tenure there, I believe that was the best football I've seen for many years, rivalling 'the invincibles' of Arsenal.
If not, Crystal Palace at Anfield five days later (subject to FA Cup progress) could be the big day. Of course, Watford and Bournemouth will hope to put a spanner in the works in between, but it seems highly likely the coronation is not far away now. Watch this space.

Inter extend their unbeaten run to 12 league games since their sole defeat of the season, against Juventus in October, but the reigning champions can move top with victory over Roma on Sunday (19:45 GMT). Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores first goal since rejoining AC MilanMartinez had seen an effort cleared off the line by Berat Djimsiti midway through the first half, while Atalanta went close to an equaliser through Rafael Toloi shortly before half-time.
Direct duel between opponents in the relegation zone, which could make the difference for the fight to avoid return in the lower rank. Host is in weaker position, since they have won only 10 points, and generally they cannot get out of the bottom, if league finishes regularly. They have all losing games recently, and could not even get closer to the first rivals.
They made a poor start to the new season though and were down in the bottom six. Form has picked up well though and Portsmouth have only lost two of their last 22 league and cup games. Their last five games have all ended in victory and they are up to seventh in League One, only out of the promotion play-offs on goal difference.

However, Woodward said: "Since our last call in November we have progressed to the knockout stages of the Europa League; we are through to the fifth round in the FA Cup, and we remain in the mix to qualify for the Champions League.

Villa were trying to get out and get forward themselves but it was very difficult for them because City's high press meant they either went long quickly and gave the ball away like that, or lost it in their own half.
After their 11-match unbeaten run was ended by Tottenham the previous week, Wolves were dreadful before halftime but goals by Romain Saiss and Raul Jimenez sealed victory. Roared on by the Carrow Road faithful Norwich outplayed Wolves in the first half and had they been more ruthless the points could have been in the bag before the interval.
Having collected just one point from their last seven matches, Hearts are in terrible form and go into this derby with absolutely no confidence.
