Arsenal Prepare For City Test; Chelsea Drop More Points & Goals Galore At Newcastle!

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has stressed that his side cannot play the occasion ahead of their top of the table clash at Manchester City later this afternoon, whilst the former Liverpool midfielder Ray Houghton believes this game won't decide the Premier League title just yet. Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino criticised his sides lack of effort and intensity after they drew 2-2 at home to 10-man Burnley, Luton manager Rob Edwards admitted their late 2-1 defeat at Spurs 'hurt', and Everton boss Sean Dyche believes only they can get themselves back to winning ways after they stretched their winless run to 12 matches. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe reflects on their dramatic 4-3 win over West Ham at St James' Park, and we look ahead to tonight's British Heavyweight Title fight between Frazer Clarke and Fabio Wardley, which is live and exclusive on talkSPORT.
