CHANCE! Lo Celso plays a ball over the top which Reguilon latches on to, but he cannot quite control it and instead pokes at the loose ball, allowing Ramsdale to claim.

Mason has explained why he has decided to start Dele Alli this evening. Alli has only feature in ten Premier League matches all season. The 29-year-old told Sky Sports pre-match: "Dele's had an excellent training week. I feel like he's stood out and I want to reward him for that. He's shown a hunger to compete in training. He's fit and I know what he's capable of."
