I'm watching the Chelsea match, while monitoring the Newcastle match on the Guardian.
Both games are goalless through the opening quarter of an hour.
Checking in at half-time at the Bridge. It's been a decent match, but Chelsea are really a mess at the moment. Palace have had the much clearer chances and the Blues having been largely playing on the break.
The pressure seems to be mounting on Graham Potter at the moment. There are some Leeds fans on YouTube who are openly hoping that Potter and Marsch get the sack around the same time and that we get Graham in at Elland Road. I hope that the board gives JM a chance to finish the season but I'd also love Potter at ER.
Newcastle are being held by Fulham in the other one. That will please the Gooner as well.
GOAL! Kai Havertz breaks the deadlock at the Bridge with a classic striker's header!
1-0 Blues!
Meanwhile, Newcastle continue to struggle to break down Fulham.
Chelsea are wrapping up a tidy 1-0 win over Palace.
Alexandre Isak has scored a tap in for the Toon in the 89th minute - that's vital for their attempt to nab a CL spot.
It's all over at the Bridge now and Kai Havertz's goal has given the Blues three points. They're still mired in mid-table but have now drawn level on points with Liverpool in ninth.
Next up is the North London Derby. Here's the early team news:
Tottenham Hotspur (5-2-3) Lloris; Doherty, Romero, Dier, Lenglet, Sessegnon; Hojbjerg, Sarr; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.
Substitutes: Forster, Royal, Sanchez, Davies, Perisic, Skipp, Bissouma, Gil, Richarlison.
Arsenal (4-1-2-3) Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey; Odegaard, Xhaka; Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli.
Substitutes: Turner, Tierney, Tomiyasu, Holding, Lokonga, Smith Rowe, Vieira, Smith, Marquinhos.
Referee Craig Pawson.
Back from a refreshing shower to enjoy this one.
We're underway and Spurs are pressing their claim straight from the start.
Oh - Eddie Nketia with a great opportunity there after Spurs made a hash of it at the back. Hit Lloris instead of scoring.
GOAL! What a strange goal!
Partey picked out Saka with a lovely ball, catching Sessignon off guard. Saka got to the line and drove a ball to the near post. Lloris has had a horror show bobbling it in and it's probably an own goal. Wow!
The feed out of North London has been frozen for a few minutes. They went back to Becky Lowe in the studio who did an admirable job vamping.
Arsenal have Spurs completely pegged back here.
Oh - what a strike from Partey! Off the Sunday Roast!
Sessignon should have picked up a yellow for that hack on Saka.
Spurs can’t get out. Long way to go, but at the moment they’re being quietly humiliated.
