On whether Frank or Slot is under more pressure:

I would say Frank. Obviously Liverpool aren't performing to their absolute best, arguably they are a long, long way from that, but they still wear that gold badge on their sleeve to say that they won the title not that long ago.

That carries a lot of sway for a manager that didn't arrive that long ago, and started in that manner. I think it buys him time.

For Frank, some of the inconsistencies that we saw last season are still there, and he hasn't necessarily brought exciting football that the fans can get behind.

Spurs don't score a lot of goals, at times they concede a lot of goals and the football itself isn't that entertaining.

Who is under more pressure - Thomas Frank or Arne Slot?

Two weeks ago Liverpool were in full-blown crisis mode after Mo Salah's extraordinary interview when he claimed he had been "thrown under the bus" by the club and his relationship with head coach Arne Slot had broken down.

Since then Salah has returned to the side and Liverpool have returned to winning ways.

While Salah has since departed for international duty with Egypt for Africa Cup of Nations duty, Spurs head into this game on the back of one win in seven Premier League matches.

West Ham United

West Ham's Kyle Walker-Peters speaking to Sky Sports:

"We know how good City are, they are at it at the moment. We knew it would be tough here, we had a gameplan and tried to stick to it but it was tough."

Half-time message? "To believe, press higher and we showed that at times. We had a few chances, on another day they might go in. Just didn't happen for us today."

On getting more opportunities with players away at AFCON: "I'm excited, I want to help the team. Even when I'm not playing I'm trying to help the team. Excited to play but we need to turn things around quickly.

"Important to keep belief, there will be tough moments. We have to stick together and keep at it."

This is Tottenham's final Premier League home game of 2025.

While the calendar year saw Spurs win the Europa League, there will be many fans pleased to see the back of 2025 in terms of Tottenham's top-flight home form.

They've won just four of their 17 league matches in front of their own fans, taking just 15 points from a possible 51. That's a pretty miserable return.

Will they sign off 2025 in front of their fans with a morale-boosting win over Liverpool?

Man City are back in this title race and they did not need to be anywhere near their best.

For West Ham? Trouble. Problems. They need to think about this game if they want to stay in the Premier League.

We'll bring you all the reaction from 3pm games.

But we've got another match kicking off in 25 minutes or so - and it's a cracker.

Tottenham v Liverpool usually means goals, goals, goals.

That was a difficult watch I'm not going to lie.

Overall a game that lacked quality, Sunderland will be happy coming away from home and getting a point and how organised they were.

I think for both teams if you can't win the game you don't lose it.

On the opening day of the campaign Sunderland also scored a third (three) of Wolves' total goals tally for the season (nine).

This was Manchester City's last match of 2025 at Etihad Stadium.

Last season was not what the fans there are used to. But at the turn of the year, things are looking up.

I'd be asking for my money back!

Into the dying moments...Brighton captain Georginio Rutter goes for glory. Saved by Robin Roefs, who is closing in on a sixth Premier League clean sheet.

Bournemouth will be kicking themselves for not taking all three points in this one, but a very good point for Burnley.

Boos ring out at Molineux as Wolves become only the fourth club to lose 10 or more consecutive Premier League matches in the same season.

Brentford claim just their second away win of the season and have Keane Lewis-Potter to thank for two smart finishes.

No hat-trick for Erling Haaland today. But Manchester City are top of the Premier League.

For a few hours at least. Over to you Arsenal.

Matheus Nunes does so well to get the ball away from the danger zone after a rare nearly-mistake from Gianluigi Donnarumma.

It shows what a good job the ex-manager did. Rob Edwards has come in, they were hoping for that new manager bounce that often does happen, and unfortunately for them it hasn't happened.

That was the chance!

Erling Haaland picks up the ball on the left, driving into the penalty box, and slots towards the far corner but his effort drags just wide.

Nineteen-year-old Tom Watson, who scored the winner that sent Sunderland up in the Championship play-off final last season, comes on for Brighton.

Both sets of fans applaud the teenager onto the pitch.
