Premier League: Spurs v Arsenal buildup, Sheffield derby and more

Liam Rosenior said one of his Chelsea players marked the wrong Burnley man in added time, allowing Zian Flemming to score an equaliser. “An assignment was missed. An assignment, a marking assignment wasn’t done. Flemming, we know, is their best header of the ball,” Rosenior said, adding he would protect his players and deal with it in the week.

Manchester City moved within two points of Arsenal after beating Newcastle, with Nico O’Reilly scoring a first-half brace. Yesterday’s results included Aston Villa 1-1 Leeds United; Brentford 0-2 Brighton; Chelsea 1-1 Burnley; West Ham 0-0 Bournemouth; Manchester City 2-1 Newcastle.

Igor Tudor described Tottenham as “an emergency situation” and responded “100%” when asked if his new team would avoid relegation. With injuries leaving him with only 13 fit senior players, he said: “What I saw this week was the quality of the players. We have enormous quality in the squad,” and that he must quickly find what suits the available players.
