FT: Arsenal 1-0 Crystal Palace

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm really happy because we knew the difficulty of the match. It was a crucial win against a good side. Today we were clinical and defensively excellent. No one really generates big chances against them with the way they set up.

"They [players] earned it. The way they compete and play, the way they want to win, it's amazing. The five [substitutes] that came on today made a big difference again. You see the other results in the Premier League...you have to be so good to win."

On Eberechi Eze's goal against his former club: "He scored the goal incredibly well."

On injuries: William Saliba felt some pain. Declan [Rice] was the same."

Stalemate on Merseyside?

Everton v Tottenham (16:30 GMT)

Chris Sutton

Former Premier League striker to BBC Sport

Tottenham have become a more versatile side under Thomas Frank, able to set up to suit the opposition, but I don't feel as if they are ever clinical enough in the final third.

It is a similar story with Everton. I always feel they have a goal in them, just not from the centre-forward, whether it is Beto or Thierno Barry leading their attack.

It must be frustrating for Toffees manager David Moyes but being realistic, who can they attract, or afford, who would make a difference up front?

All of that makes me think this is going to be a tight game, and I don't think there will be a winner.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

FT: Aston Villa 1-0 Man City

Manchester City

Manchester City's Bernardo Silva to Sky Sports: "I would say we played quite well with the ball. Our offensive concepts were quite good. Even if we didn't score we had chances. We made them defend deep and they struggled in some moments. On the other side of the game we were really bad defensively. Our pressing was really bad, we arrived two seconds late to every duel. That was the feeling even though our offensive concepts were quite good, but if the pressing is not good you allow the game to be a transitional game. When our pressing is not good we do not play well.

"Obviously they are a very good team, this is a Champions League team, a team with a lot of quality players. I do believe our defensive concepts were really bad today.

"It's a minor decision, it's not like a penalty or a red card that changed the game. The reality is it should've been a foul. It wasn't and they scored from the corner. That was a bit frustrating for us, but it's football. These small things is not that important. The referee said he thought it was a corner. People make mistakes, just say sorry and go on to the next one. Don't be arrogant. Like I say, it was not because of that that we lost the game. It was not about the referee today.

"It's still a long way to go. I don't want to draw too many conclusions. We would love to be at the top but we're not. It's way too early to draw conclusions."

'You cannot give Arsenal anything'

FT: Arsenal 1-0 Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to Sky Sports: "It's a mixture of frustration about the result and being proud of the performance, especially in first half. You cannot give Arsenal anything.

"It's a silly foul and we gave them the second shot with Ebs [Eberechi Eze], and we know he has a good shot.

"We tried everything. It shows our progress when we are upset with losing 1-0 here. We are still missing a little bit. Mikel Arteta is doing such a great job. It's about us being a bit better in every single phase. When you get two or three chances, you need to score."
