Kick-off around the grounds is just 15 minutes away.

Tottenham are the only 'Big Six' team in 3pm action today but they go into their game against Stoke in really poor domestic form. They're on a four-match win-less run in the Premier League - a sequence that stretches back to the 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace on 5 November.
