After that dire 0-0 draw between Liverpool and Stoke we're still waiting for the first goal of the day in the Premier League.

Where's it going to come?

"The players don't seem too happy with him and player power does work there.

"I'd be surprised if he's there next season."

The words of Paul Merson on the likelihood of Claude Puel remaining in charge of Leicester next season.

Charlie Nicholas on whether he'd take James Tarkowski at Arsenal:

"In a heartbeat. I don't need all that fancy stuff at the back, I need somebody who's going to do his job and show some authority."

Paul Merson reckons the Burnley defender is going to the World Cup:

"I like the lad. If we're going to play with three centre-halves, we need centre-halves. You need players who can play out from the back and he ticks the boxes. For me, he goes."

Ohhhhh, Jimmy Tarkowski
