There is quality players there, but they're not producing it on any regular basis.

It will be dramatic if they are to pull her out.

It might come down to something like the last match where Everton are home.

Chelsea away is the previous fixture, doing something dramatic in those last two games, getting at least four points from those games.

But they're going to have to get a few points before then.

And on what we saw today, Brighton are in very good form lately, very good win yesterday, 2-0, away from home at Borny.

Yeah, and they've been solid defensively, smashing home record, be it at the last three games.

That gives them, I think, what were they on in terms of home games?

They had a few draws, but they had a lot of wins at home.

And it's become a bit of a fortress for them, which is the basis of a team coming up from the Championship.

and doing well but the signings have proved to be very very good and players like you and me we saw Northern Ireland International coming on late and Dan Ballard who we're missing today has been one of their outstanding players has been great for them Zach has been great Robbie has proved to be a great signing Lafay Talby did the sign from Brugge Lafay from Roma

They appear as ball very well, but the manager has coordinated that into a very good, effective squad.

It's all right saying that the players they signed were very good players, but it's the manager's and the staff's ability to...

to combine those players into an effective unit that's worked for them and that's what we've seen with Sunderland on a continuous basis a consistent basis they've been able to take teams on home or away and get good results and they're playing very very well indeed that was a really good performance by them today and above Newcastle as well in the table which I'm sure they'll get great support well that matters in the North East that certainly matters it sure does pressure further on Eddie Howe but that is for now the final whistle thanks for joining us

Right, Brian, another win for Manchester United.

Again, they had to come from behind against Crystal Palace, but they got the job done up to third place and maybe not the worst way to win a game where they have to show a bit of adversity.

Is it a case that Palace are a tough nut to crack?

There has been a few issues with Palace in the last few weeks, the Glasner stuff, the comments, the fans, his future and all that.

But they certainly have looked a lot more together in the last few games and they started really well.

They can be quite a hard team to break down when they sit back in that shape.
