Your support makes all the difference.The Premier League's January transfer window is upon us with Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea all set to be busy.
Liverpool were the summer's biggest spenders with no fewer than four new arrivals. Goalkeeper Alisson was the headline-grabber with the Brazilian already proving worth every penny of the world-record fee the Reds shelled out for the Brazilian. Could long-term target Nabil Fekir join him next month? United got a couple of new faces in through the door in the summer but it hasn't made a difference with Jose Mourinho out and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in. Will he spend them out of trouble in the January sales?
Chelsea have made the biggest splash with the signing of Borussia Dortmund's Christian Pulisic while Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal could all choose to dip their toes in the water as they battle for an all-important top four spot. We will have all the latest news, views, rumours, gossip and done deals right here so don't touch that dial.

Tottenham appear resigned to losing defender Toby Alderweireld, so much so that they are already pressing on with plans to sign his replacement.
Chief football writer Miguel Delaney can reveal that Spurs are considering a £35m offer for the 22-year-old Joachim Andersen in the summer, who despite his tender age for a defender already has 16 caps for Denmark.

By extending Alderweireld's contract last week, Spurs activated a clause that allows him to leave for £25m if triggered before the final two weeks of the summer transfer window.
However, he spoke out to play down talk of an exit and has stressed that he remains committed to the Spurs cause.
Back to Manchester United now where Ashley Young could be set for a move away.
The winger/defender/wherever any manager asks him to play's contract is up at the end of the season with foreign clubs now able to negotiate with him.
