It was a big week for The Independent as we counted down the top 100 players in Premier League history.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer checked in at number 67, and Miguel Delaney articulated what made the Norwegian so good as a player:
There was controversy in the top 20 with considerable debate despite the democratic process by which it was compiled. Dennis Bergkamp was unlucky number 13, Eric Cantona just missed the top ten and record goalscorer Alan Shearer only placed seventh.
So who was number one?
Leicester City fans are enjoying free beer, water and cupcakes in memory of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha ahead of what would have been his 61st birthday next week.
Ben Foster's back at Old Trafford this afternoon looking to continue what has been an excellent season for the former England shot-stopper.
Might he be in for a busy afternoon in the Watford goal?
Just about ten minutes to go.
The players are warming up in Kick It Out shirts this afternoon as football continues to combat racism in the game 25 years on from the organisations inception. After the vile incidents in Montenegro earlier this week, it's clear there is still much more work to be done in making football an inclusive environment for all regardless of creed, colour or religious belief.
If rumours are to be believed, this man could well be securing a long-term move to the West Midlands as Wolves and Benfica are closing on a deal for Raul Jimenez.
Jimenez was a late arrival back from international duty with Mexico and thus Ivan Cavaleiro is handed an opportunity up front for Wolves this afternoon. They're at Turf Moor to take on struggling Burnley.
Five Premier League games for your consumption this afternoon.
The clock strikes three - away we go...
GOAL! Burnley 1-0 Wolves (Conor Coady own goal, 2 minutes)
And straight away Burnley lead!
Chris Wood breaks past the Wolves defence and rounds Rui Patricio, Conor Coady doing well to get back to try to hook the ball away but rather making a hash of his desperate attempt to clear, and that'll go down as an own goal. Off the post and in to the net - a poor start for Wolves.
Manchester United 0-0 Watford, 6 minutes
Watford have begun well.
Roberto Pereyra finds Abdoulaye Doucoure with a clever pass and the Frenchman should do better with the chance, rather dragging it wide of David De Gea's near post when it may have been wiser to look for the far.
