they play arch rivals tottenham at white hart lane tonight. a win would extend their lead at the top of the table to 8 points, and match arsenal's top—division record for successive wins, spread over two seasons in 2002. for sure, totten is a good team, a very strong team —— tottenham. for this reason it is important to try to continue our run. it is a reasonable opportunity for us to try and stop them and try and use the 95p~ and stop them and try and use the gap. it is important, it is important for the premier league and for us to try to win and tried to stop them. our challenge is to be in the top four. leicester and england centre manu tuilagi will be out

wins for both arsenal and tottenham today would push manchester city out of the top four. tottenham are at watford in the 1.30 kick off, while arsenal host crystal palace at 4. i'm sure in the second part of the season, when everybody is willing to go for it, it's not any more wait and see, it's go and take now. i'm confident that in the second part of the season, you will see spectacular games, but we have not completely produced. celtic start the new year with a 19 point lead at the top of the scottish premiership after coming from behind to beat rangers 2—1 in the old firm derby. scott sinclair with the winner. elsewhere, hamilton and motherwell drew. dundee are up to eighth after beating stjohnstone 3—0. partick and kilmarnock drew 0—0 but liam boyce scored twice

liverpool suffered a shock defeat to swansea city and manchester city and tottenham hotspur drew. ben croucher wraps up the day's action. saturday wasn't a good day to manage a top—six side. if you played, that is. along with manchester united, the other three in action couldn't muster a win between them. liverpool are yet to win in the league in 2017. struggling swansea had never won in the league at anfield, but llorente put them ahead. liverpool couldn't hang on. it is going to come to sigurdsson. swansea back in front! and holding on for a 3—2 win, paul clements‘s first as swansea manager. the liverpool slip—up presented manchester city, and tottenham, the chance to move clear of them. city looked on—course, when two mistakes allowed them to go two goals up, only for spurs to then score with their only two shots on target. gabrieljesus thwarted one with his first shot in a city shirt. one slight problem. it is not easy being a football manager, is it? oh, look at the agony!

tottenham face west bromwich in the early kick—off.hey will go second if they win that match, west bromwich always make it difficult for spurs. hull will stay in the relegation zone and no matter how they do against bournemouth. yet

if they beat tottenham, that will make 1a wins in a row in a single season. let's bring in the bbc sports centre. last time i looked, this was not going to plan. well, it is a match that lacked quality in the first half. there was much of the intensity and aggression that typified the encounter last may that saw chelsea end tottenham's title hopes, but with both teams employing three defenders at the back, the game was rarely stretched, and chances were at a real premium. that was until one minute into stoppage time at the end of the first half, when england midfielder dele alli found himself in an ocean of space in the chelsea penalty area to head past thibaut courtois and put spurs ahead. it came from an uncharacteristic lack of communication in the chelsea defence and some lovely movement from the goal—scorer. and it's now 2—0 with the second a near replica — denmark's christian eriksen floating in another lovely cross from the right which alli duly nodded in, past courtois. so after 13 games unbeaten,

his fourth tier side tore into tottenham. paul hayes has done the rounds during his career, but he will remember this goal as well as any. and the penalty that came later, 2—0 wycombe. spurs brought it back to 2—2, but wycombe weren't done. gary thompson, 3—2. only seven minutes of normal time left. ecstasy slid slowly into anxiety. but tottenham still had dele alli out there — a game changer. 89th minute, 3—3. still good enough to bring spurs back to buckinghamshire. then, though, the cruelest twist — in the final seconds of stoppage time, heung—min son cancelled the replay. spurs limp on, the wanderers left wondering. you can check out all of today's —— saturday's scores on the bbc sport website. there are four fa cup matches today. rangers are back up to second

it finished 2—2, with city and tottenham, and city fans will wonder how the team did not end up winningthey dominated and led 2—0 but their opponents find a way back into the contest. home fans were not happy with the referee andrew marriner had turned down penalty appeals when raheem sterling appeared to be pushed over when through an goal. we considered view, we we re through an goal. we considered view, we were not able to win the right positions, the right moments. and of course you have to score goals. we created so many chances to score goals and if you're not able, against the top teams like totte n ha m , against the top teams like tottenham, so again, they shot four times against everton, two times and two goals. manchester united came from behind to draw i—i two goals. manchester united came from behind to draw 1—1 with stoke city, but it is not the result, it will be the achievement of that man

former tottenham defender younus kaboul grabbed a late consolation goal for watford, who have now lost five of their last seven matches in the league. tottenham in great form and they'll be relishing taking on league leaders chelsea at white hart lane on wednesday. two of the biggest table tennis stars in the world tied the knot in taipei, on sunday. japan's ai fukuhara and taiwan's chiang hung—chieh bringing in the new year in the best possible way. chiang proposed to fukuhara after the 2016 rio 0lympics. the couple had initially planned to get married before the end of last year, but chiang said that they delayed the wedding date for a special reason, saying that january 1st can be seen as a completely new beginning for them both. the couple will reportedly also hold a wedding ceremony is japan as well.

it wasn't necessarily the result that tottenham wanted as they try to close the gap on chelsea at the top of the premier league table, but they will consider the 2—2 draw at manchester city a point gained after they came back from two goals down. city had dominated the first hour of the match, but couldn't hold on for what would have been an important morale boosting victory. ben croucher reports. he is one of the best managers in the world but is pep guardiola good enough for manchester city? he has questioned that himself this week. after four defeats in the last eight league games, inform tottenham, stressful for the manager before kick—off. but city peppered the spurs goal with 11 first—half shots. despite the dominance, it did not change pep guardiola's mode. but this long ball for hugo lloris had it covered? this long ball for hugo lloris had it covered ? sane this long ball for hugo lloris had it covered? sane on hand to change the entire mood at the end had. another long ball, another error, another goal, kevin de bruyne this time. as soon as city had stopped

tottenham's north london rivals arsenal are currently outside the top four. they're playing second from bottom club swansea city later. it's swansea manager, paul clement's, first match in charge. i'm really looking forward to it. it's been a big ambition of mine to manage in this league and at this level and yeah, my first home game at swansea, going up against arsene wenger and arsenal will be a very special moment for me. leeds united have moved up

tottenham hotspur staying in second place, they will probably be happy with a point after being 2-0 be happy with a point after being 2—0 behind. liverpool the big losers i guess because they did not get anything and chelsea playing hull tomorrow very happy indeed. they have the chance to consolidate their place once more. liverpool future losers without defeat today but nobody gaining any real ground. totte n ha m nobody gaining any real ground. tottenham came back yes, they will be pleased that that they still have not really eaten into the lead. arsenal will expect three points tomorrow and a favour do is win anything can happen. in the championship‘s lunch time game, queens park rangers and fulham drew 1—1 at loftus road in the west london derby. 20 year—old ryan manning took advantage of some sloppy play to score his first goal for qpr. fulham striker chris martin had a penalty saved earlier on, but he managed to fire in the equaliser to rescue a point and deny qpr their fourth straight league win. thrilling game at 0akwell in the

i don't take a thing away from tottenham, tottenham are a good team, they have people who will punish them for the rest of the season, but it was a bad day for us. no wonder he is disappointed. a bad day for them. arsenal are hot on their heels. an impressive performance, beating swansea i—o. olivier giroud, what great performance. he scored in each of his nine starts for arsenal. difficult moments here, though, for the swansea boss paul clement. 4—0 defeat. they were the own worst enemies. two on goals, and the assist was from a swansea player as well. a big story which the players will focus on. when alexis sanchez was taken at 4—0 up, he soaked in the dugout. arsene wenger was happy with the win. maybe we were a bit fortunate. you can see that they had more problems to contain us. it's not an eye opener. i know what this level of footballer is like. we have some good players, we are looking to do some other things soon. i also believe there are games we are not expected to win, and games we are going to have to win. maybe that was not one we were expected to win today. a tough intr

whilst they were proud about their route, it was tottenham charting their own course.son the first to go close. much of the talk had been of chelsea's extraordinary run, but that of dele alli has not gone unnoticed either. still, the second—half to come. for chelsea, the record began to feel further away. their chances limited to just further away. their chances limited tojust a further away. their chances limited to just a few. dele alli seemed almost unstoppable. his and spurs' second more than enough to win. the blues' success ending at white hat lane, but where these sides go from here is what really matters. white hart lane used to be known as three point lane to chelsea fans, such was their dominance here, but in the last decade they have only won once here in the league, so it wasn't the walkover that some chelsea fans had predicted. chelsea didn't play as well as they have. let's hear of it 110w well as they have. let's hear of it now from both managers, mauricio pochettino and antonio conte. now from both managers, mauricio pochettino and antonio contelj think

i don't take a thing away from tottenham, tottenham or thing away from tottenham, tottenham ora thingf will punish you. good luck for the rest of the season, but it was a bad day for us. hot on their tails are arsenal, who beat swansea 4—0 — a result which sees swansea drop to the foot of the table. striker 0livier giroud opened the scoring for arsenal, before immediately being substituted with an injury. two own goals and an alexis sanchez strike means they're now a point behind spurs. but in his first league match in charge, swansea's defensive frailities again all too clear for new head coach paul clement. it's not an eye opener. i know what this level of footballers like. we have some good players, we are looking to do some other things soon. looking to do some other things soon. i also believe there are games we are not expected to win, and games were going to have to win. maybe that was not one we were expected to win today. in the second half, our paste the code. maybe we we re half, our paste the code. maybe we were a bit fortunate not to give it as well. but you could see tha
