Big game for Palace. Alan Pardew is currently neglecting his team talk, looking in the mirror and giving himself the finger guns.

Jamie Redknapp: "Chelsea are the team to beat at the moment."

Thanks for that analysis, Jamie. pic.twitter.com/McLCHR71zW

Manchester United also earned three points, in a game whereZlatan Ibrahimovic grabbed a brace and Marcos Rojo avoided a red card...

Man Utd have now scored as many Premier League goals as... West Brom #WBAMUN pic.twitter.com/hd6gLqOPxk

Owen Hargreaves has just praised Paul Pogba for jumping with his hands by his side.

"I've never seen anyone do that. Great control".

Don't be fooled by Rojo's measured start to this game. He's got a pair of nunchucks in his socks, ready to swipe around the 20 minute mark. pic.twitter.com/zcB2rwSX9h

Seeing these West Brom subs reminded me - where is Saido Berahino? A dungeon somewhere, and Pulis has eaten the only key?

Rondon goes down after a clash with Rojo. No foul given, so Rojo returns, repeatedly jumps up and down on him, pleading for a suspension.

No card for Rojo so far, looks composed.

Clearly wants to build his image, so he's not purely known as the bloke who can't make toast. pic.twitter.com/vGNrUtzWFA

We'd like to thank all the referees who kindly responded to this Christmas appeal today. pic.twitter.com/3VSLgtwNH1

Another look at the absolute grass that is Phil Jones: pic.twitter.com/E6hP4AxO8x

.@PhilJones4 man... One of those kids at school that would run to a teacher and grass someone up.

How far can Phil Jones' mouth actually open? #EPL #WBAMUN pic.twitter.com/OfGWWZKFG4

Elsewhere reigning champions Leicester City escaped from the Bet365 Stadium with a point, despite being 2-0 down and having Jamie Vardy sent off...

Fair play, that's a hell of a save from Danny Simpson. Acrobatic handling. #MOTD

"It's on, mate. Tell the lads. Got the days off work, Christmas and New Years. Gonna be a big one". pic.twitter.com/gyp1GunrC2

Jamie Vardy sent off so he doesn't have to play on Boxing Day and can shake off his WKD-induced hangover. pic.twitter.com/gjmaHEf6dZ

200 - Number of bottles of vodka that have just been ordered to arrive at Jamie Vardy's house in time for Christmas. Suspended.

Jamie Vardy's been sent off and booked Christmas off in the process, can't imagine how he'll spend it. pic.twitter.com/lZo6XLGU3G

West Ham fans are singing "we're f*cking shit" after 25 minutes.

At least we think they are, can't properly hear them from miles away...

West Ham came away from their home game with Hull City with a slender 1-0 victory...
