Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley (3pm)
When I was 27 of course I thought I could do everything but I also found out that as a leader I am 1,000% better now, so he also needs to learn and become better and better, so I will do my best to guide him. His aggression is phenomenal. He is fantastic in the duels. When he gives that to the team, he can transform the team and give energy to the team so I think that’s extremely important.
GOAL! Derby 3-2 Coventry (Adams 50)
Derby are ahead for the first time in what sounds like a bit of a humdinger at Pride Park. Coventry manager Frank Lampard may not share that view after watching Ebou Adams put his old club ahead.
53 min: Aston Villa 0-0 Newcastle
No goals at Villa Park, where Newcastle had the better of the first half. Barry Glendenning is your man for updates on that game, and so much more.
