18:58 GMT - That's it from us, thanks for joining us! Here's how the Premier League table looks after all of this weekend's fxtures:

18:54 GMT - Archie Gray says his first career goal "took too long" and admits a lack of reaction from his teammates had him wondering if his goal was going to stand.
He told Sky Sports: "When I turned around and I didn't see my team-mates celebrating with me I was a bit confused - I was like 'have I actually just scored?'
"But it's a good feeling. Definitely one that took too long.
"I didn't have to do much. I was so close to the goal, I just needed to flick it on really. It was a good flick.
"It's the best feeling. You work your whole life for that moment. Hopefully I can keep it going.
"Everyone is saying they weren't expecting it to be a header, but that one come off my dad's instincts."
18:36 GMT - For large swathes of that game, Crystal Palace were the side in control, as you can see from this graphic. However, Spurs picked their moments and were good on the counter. In the end it was yet another set-piece that undid the hosts. Six of the nine Premier League goals Palace have conceded in December have been from set pieces, including each of the last six in a row.

18:28 GMT - FULL-TIME: There's the final whistle at Selhurst Park, where Archie Gray's first career goal has delivered a 1-0 win for Tottenham over Crystal Palace.

18:20 GMT - There will be seven minutes of added time.
18:18 GMT - CLOSE! Wilson Odobert fires in a shot that beats the keeper but slams into the post and bounces safely away. Crystal Palace are hanging on by their fingernails here.
18:07 GMT - NO GOAL. VAR has spotted that Richarlison was in an offside position when he got the ball. Spurs still 1-0 ahead, but Palace will be relieved that they still have shot to win this.
18:05 GMT - GOAL! Richarlison has the ball in the back of the net again, but VAR are once again taking a look.
17:46 GMT - CHANCE! Crystal Palace have arguably their best chance of the match as Nathaniel Clyne turns the ball into the path of Justin Devenny right in front of goal with the keeper struggling. However, it seems Devenny may have been expecting his teammate to go for goal as he seemed a little surprised to get the ball and ultimately could not get a shot away.
17:37 GMT - And we're back!
17:21 GMT - HALF-TIME: There's the whistle from the referee and we have reached the halfway mark in London.

17:15 GMT - Archie Gray's first senior goal in 112 appearances makes him the youngest (19y 291d) Englishman to score for Tottenham in the Premier League since Dele Alli in January 2016 (19y 287d - also v Crystal Palace).
17:12 GMT - GOAL! More set-piece problems for Crystal Palace. Archie Gray is the man to get onto the scoresheet for what his first senior goal.
17:05 GMT - Since that Spurs no-goal, Crystal Palace have appeared the busier team, with Jean-Philippe Mateta going close again - this time with a header. Can the home side get an opener before the break?
16:51 GMT - Very nearly salt straight into the Spurs wound there, as Jean-Philippe Mateta flashes one across goal.
16:50 GMT - NO GOAL. Lucas Bergvall was offside in the build-up. As you were; still 0-0.
16:48 GMT - Ah wait, here comes VAR to rule it out.
16:47 GMT - GOAL! Richarlison has put Spurs ahead!
16:30 GMT - We are under way in London!
16:14 GMT - Attention now turns to Selhurst Park, where Crystal Palace host Tottenham in the final Premier League game of the weekend.
16:06 GMT - Well Sunderland will be slightly disappointed not to have won that game, but after the way Leeds played, there will be a few relieved fans leaving the Stadium of Light. Here's our full report.
15:55 GMT - There's the full-time whistle at the Stadium of Light, where Sunderland and Leeds have drawn 1-1.

15:41 GMT - Both sides are pushing for a winner out there.
15:29 GMT - Tottenham travel to Crystal Palace in this afternoon's other game, and here's how the two teams will line up:

15:14 GMT - CLOSE! Sunderland are hanging on a bit here. Jayden Bogle gets on the end of Noah Okafor's cross, but can't quite control it as the ball goes just wide
15:11 GMT - GOAL! Leeds are level, through a quite brilliant team move from their own goal all the way to Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who gets in front of goal and duly makes it 1-1.
15:08 GMT - We're back under way at the Stadium of Light.
14:52 GMT - And there's the whistle from the referee to mark the end of the first half.

14:49 GMT - And just like that, two big chances for Sunderland! First Brian Brobbey goes one on one with the keeper after geting onto a ball over the top, but he can't get enough power onto it when trying to dink it past the keeper. Then came a brilliant cross from Simon Adingra which was just about perfect for Brobbey, but his header crashes into the woodwork. The game is certainly opening up.
14:45 GMT - Brenden Aaronson has just flashed an inviting ball past the Sunderland goal. In fairness it was not all the close to the men chasing it down, but still, Leeds appear to be getting closer to that equaliser.
14:40 GMT - CLOSE! Dominic Calvert-Lewin plays a neat pass to Brenden Aaronson who beats the keeper from in front, but Trai Hume is on hand to clear the ball from the line. Impressive anticipation that.
14:33 GMT - Joe Rodon has left the field after taking a couple of knocks on his ankle, the second of which cmae just before Simon Adingra made it 1-0.
14:29 GMT - GOAL! Sunderland are ahead! Simon Adingra has his first goal for the club after latching onto a sensationally timed ball from Granit Xhaka.
14:15 GMT - CHANCE! Leeds' Noah Okafor has the ball fall to his feet at close range and he tries to stroke it into the top right corner but it deflects off the defence to fly over the bar.
14:01 GMT - And we're off!
13:53 GMT - The atmosphere is building at the Stadium of Light - kick-off is coming up shortly.
13:40 GMT - There's been very little between these teams in the five most recent meetings. Five goals apiece, three draws, and neither side has beaten the other by more than one goal when winning.

13:16 GMT - Thomas Frank is confident he is the right man to take Tottenham Hotspur forward, saying his history of turning around slow starts proves he can help lift the Premier League club out of their current malaise. Read all about it here.
12:59 GMT - All of that means that this is how the two teams will line up at 2pm for kick-off:

12:48 GMT - And here's who will be running out for the visitors. Lukas Nmecha has been named on the bench by Daniel Farke, but the starting XI remains the same as that which dispatched Crystal Palace last time out.
12:47 GMT - The home side have named their starting XI for today's fixture, with Dennis Cirkin replacing Dan Ballard in the only change to the side which drew with Brighton just before Christmas.
12:27 GMT - And this is how things stand in the Premier League. A victory for Sunderland would put them fifth in the standings, while for Leeds a victory could put more distance between themselves and the relegation zone.

12:01 GMT - Here's how things have shaped up so far in this cycle of fixtures.

11:23 GMT - Good morning and welcome along for another day of Premier League action. Just the two fixtures for us today as Sunderland host Leeds at the Stadium of Light before Tottenham travel to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace. We'll bring you all the key Premier League updates as they unfold this afternoon.
Saturday, 27 December
20:03 GMT - We're wrapping up for the evening, see you tomorrow!
20:02 GMT - Aston Villa boss Unai Emery refused to say whether his side are in the title race, despite their huge victory against Chelsea.
"No, 38 matches," he told BBC Sport.
"If it finishes tomorrow, then this match against Arsenal is finishing the league. There is still another 20 matches to play.
"We kept the same game plan we had at the first half, but the first half they were playing fantastic. They were dominating. We couldn't get the ball easily. We were defending low, we are defending well. We didn't concede corners, only one corner and they score. But we needed to be passionate and try to keep being resilient and we were speaking after the first half in the dressing room."
19:45 GMT - Aston Villa hero Ollie Watkins says he thinks teams are worried about playing his side now.
"Amazing win. Personally, for me, to come off the bench and score goals is amazing. That's the word," he told Sky Sports.
"Emery changed because Chelsea were playing man-to-man. We had an extra body up there. Tactical genius, I'd say.
"Obviously, I haven't been where I want to be. As a striker, you want to be scoring every game. I've put a bit of pressure on myself, but I can use this as a marker and push on.
"I feel like teams are worried about us - thinking 'ahh, we've got Villa next.' We're taking each game as it comes and focusing on ourselves. The title is a long way away."
19:38 GMT - Aston Villa have won 18 points from losing positions in the Premier League this season, more than any other team.
Chelsea have lost 13 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, no team has lost more.
Consistent.
19:32 GMT - Unai Emery's side looking firmly in the title picture as it stands.

18:18 GMT - HALF-TIME! As dominant as you can get from Chelsea and they lead at the break.

15:00 GMT - KICK-OFF! The five afternoon games in the Premier League are underway!
14:55 GMT - A reminder of what's to come this afternoon. Plenty to look forward to:
14:44 GMT - Manchester City midfielder Rayan Cherki, speaking to TNT Sports: "When the games come we need just one thing: to win. We take the points because the championship is so long and so hard, so today is a big win.
"The next game is very important for us and we are ready."
14:32 GMT - Some post-game numbers to crunch, with things trending upwards for Manchester City's match-winner Rayan Cherki:
- Since the start of November, only Erling Haaland (eight goals, three assists) and Bruno Fernandes (three goals, six assists) have been involved in more Premier League goals than Rayan Cherki (one goal, seven assists).
- Manchester City have scored in 16 of their 18 games, no team has done so more often in the Premier League this season.
- Rayan Cherki has assisted seven goals in the Premier League this season (one in this game), no player has more.
14:23 GMT - FULL-TIME! All over at the City Ground and Manchester City grind out a big victory over Nottingham Forest to move top of the Premier League table! And it's over to Arsenal now...
Read the match report: Cheeky Cherki strike sends Man City temporarily top with win over Forest

14:11 GMT - GOAL! City restore their lead late on and it's a beauty from Rayan Cherki as he rifles one in first-time from the edge of the box. A big goal...
14:01 GMT - Time for a quick look ahead to this afternoon's five 15:00 GMT kick-offs, which see both Arsenal and Liverpool take to the field.





13:42 GMT - GOAL! Forest hit back! City's lead doesn't last long as Omari Hutchinson equalises for the hosts with a well-taken finish. Game on.
13:35 GMT - GOAL! There's some quality from City and Tijjani Reijnders, who is slipped into the box and finishes well to open the scoring for the visitors.
13:33 GMT - Back underway. Hopefully there will be a bit more quality on show this half.
13:22 GMT - Manchester City failed to have a shot on target in the first half of a Premier League game for the first time since December 2024 v Liverpool.
13:17 GMT - HALF-TIME! Absolutely nothing to split Forest and City at the break. Quite a meek half with no shots on target and perhaps not too surprising as an early game, a couple of days after Christmas.

12:42 GMT - A lovely round of applause in tribute to Forest legend John Robertson preceded the game, with a banner reading "The Picasso of the Game" being held up in the home end.
12:30 GMT - KICK-OFF! Away we go at the City Ground - follow the match here

11:55 GMT - This is the sixth time that Manchester City have had an unchanged lineup for a Premier League game this season - their most in a single campaign since 2008/09 (also six), while they last had more in 2004/05 (nine).
