  • Fulham - Burnley

    90+3’ The final whistle goes, Fulham win 3-0 and they go ninth as the revival continues.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    90+2’ Eagles, who has looked bright as a button since coming on, fires just wide after a surging run. He almost always looks Burnley's best player when on the pitch, maybe he lacks the defensive discipline or stamina but a touch of quality.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    FT’ The referee blows up for full-time and what a game it's been at Fratton Park. Three players sent-off and a 95th minute equaliser! You couldn't ask for more!

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    90+5'’ The full-time whistle goes at the City of Manchester Stadium, and Roberto Mancini's side climb above Tottenham into fifth spot, level on points with Liverpool with a game in hand! Goals from Carlos Tevez and Emmanuel Adebayor do the damage as Bolton are defeated 2-0! Thanks for joining us.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    90+5'’ GOAL! POMPEY EQUALISE! O'Hara swings in a corner from the right and Dindane rises at the back post to score a deserved equaliser!

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    90+3'’ It's all over at the DW Stdium where it finishes 1-1.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    90+2'’ Portsmouth are pressing hard for the equaliser and Piquionne forces a low save by Gordon after getting his head to an O'Hara cross!

  • Fulham - Burnley

    78'’ Riise plays a through ball to Okaka, and Okaka is through, he shrugs off the defenders like they're made of cheese but he pokes the finish against Jensen, who made himself big. Powerful from the young Italian, just lacking at the finish, Carlisle doing well to put him off by sliding in.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    89'’ POMPEY SUB: Danny Webber is on for Finnan.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    77'’ FULHAM SUB: Riise on for Duff. Like for like, literally: they even look the same.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    88'’ SUNDERLAND SUB: Phillip Bardsley is brough on for Bent.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    86'’ MEYLER IS OFF! Having only been on the pitch for a couple of minute the sub Meyler is shown a straight red for an elbow on Finnan. He definitely led with his arm but was it enough for a red card?

  • Fulham - Burnley

    76'’ BURNLEY SUB: Paterson on for Nugent.

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    85'’ Stoke make a change with Tuncay coming off for James Beattie.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    84'’ SUNDERLAND SUB: Reid looks to have tweaked his hamstring and David Meyler is brought on.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    71'’ FULHAM SUB: Okaka is on for Zamora. All of a sudden Fulham look blessed up front, despite the injury to Johnson. Nevland is now a distant fourth choice even with AJ unfit.

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    84'’ Johnson receives a standing ovation as he departs, with Sylvinho filling the apparent void at left-back.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    81'’ Belhadj swings in a superb ball from the left and Piquionne rises well but heads wide! Great opportunity to level it!

  • Fulham - Burnley

    66'’ Fulham howl for a penalty after the ball seems to strike an arm following that corner, Duff's low shot hitting Edgar as he fell. Another good shot for a spot-kick.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    78'’ POMPEY SUB: Nadir Belhadj comes on for Yebda.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    76'’ POMPEY SUB: Nwankwo Kanu comes on for Diop.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    75'’ Reid flicks out a neat ball to Bent in the left channel. The Sunderland striker surges into the box and fires in a shot which is going wide of the back post but Jones just can't get near enough to it to tap home!

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    77'’ Wilshere's evening comes to an end, and Coyle pats his young charge heartily on the back as Matt Taylor comes on.

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    76'’ City attack through Adebayor once more, and the striker is clearly buoyed by his strike. Robinson is booked for an ugly challenge, but it looked worse than it really was.

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    75'’ Tamir Cohen is hastily replaced by Mark Davies as Coyle responds to the second goal with a swift change.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    61'’ FULHAM SUB: Greening on for Davies.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    57'’ Eagles has a pop from 25 yards that flies just over!

    74'’ Stoke hit the crossbar! Sidibe, unmarked, loops a header away from Kirkland, but it hits the bar and ricochets to safety.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    56'’ BURNLEY SUB: On-loan Chelsea youngster Jack Cork on for Wade Elliott.

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    73'’ Goal for Stoke! Tuncay pops up unmarked six yards out to head a cross from the right past Kirkland and into the back of the net.

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    73'’ GOAL!!! ADEBAYOR GIVES CITY A TWO-GOAL CUSHION! Vieira delivers a raking pass over the head of Ricketts, and Adebayor takes the ball down before lashing it past Jaaskelainen! That should be it now for City!

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    69'’ Great save from Kirkland! The Wigan keeper saves with his feet to deny Fuller before Tuncay completely misses his kick from 10 yards out.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    54'’ GOAL FULHAM! Zamora drills the free-kick into the bottom left! He placed it low, left-footed through a massive gap between the left-hand post and wall, Jensen didn't see it and it's 3-0. Poor wall and keeping.

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    67'’ Wright-Phillips comes on in place of Wayne Bridge, who has played well but is clearly still short of match fitness.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    63'’ What a sitter! Bent is through one-on-one and and hits the post from eight yards out!

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    66'’ Rodallega latches on to a long-ball into the box and tries an outrageous overhead kick that Sorensen is forced to tip over the bar.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    51'’ HOW DID HE MISS? Ah a save by Jensen. But Zamora should have scored. Fulham were bossing it down the right, a lucky ricochet played him clean through but his low finish was palmed wide by the great Dane. Corner.

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    63'’ Muamba scythes down Bridge and is promptly booked by the referee - that was more clumsy than anything else.

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    60'’ Fuller comes on for Delap while Gomez comes on for Scotland.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    46'’ Second half underway!!

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    56'’ Piquionne latches onto a long ball from O'Hara down the left channel and is brought down by McCartney... that looks a certain penalty! No! The referee hasn't given it!

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    59'’ Tevez turns neatly to find Johnson, who cuts inside and bends a fine shot narrowly wide of Jaaskelainen's far post!

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    53'’ CATTERMOLE IS OFF! Gordon makes a great save from Piquionne and the ball is half-cleared to the edge of the box where Cattermole lunges in on Basinas. That was a horrible studs-up challenge on Basinas and the ref has no qualms in showing Cattermole, who was only booked seconds early, a second yellow.

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    54'’ Wigan replace McCarthy with Hendry Thomas.

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    55'’ Kolo Toure is forced off the field with an injury, and the defender shakes his head in frustration as Lescott is given a run out.

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    52'’ Tuncay misses a great chance to draw Stoke level. A long freekick is drifted to the far post and Huth heads it back to Tuncay who fails to connect with his volley from four yards.

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    53'’ Tevez almost catches out Jaaskelainen with a curled free-kick over the wall which strikes the bar as the goalkeeper leaves it! Cohen is penalised for a handball as Lescott warms up vigorously on the touchline.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    48'’ Cattermole earns the first yellow card of the second half for a foul on Dindane.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

      SUNDERLAND SUB: Bolo Zenden came on for the injured Malbranque at half-time.

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    47'’ Steinsson lumps a long ball up to Knight in the City box, and the defender lies on the floor after clashing with Toure.

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    46'’ The second half is underway at Eastlands, and Bolton will be desperate to hit back after falling behind on the half-hour.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    46'’ Sunderland get the second half underway...

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    46'’ And we are underway in the second half...

    45+3’ Half-time, Fulham lead comfortably thanks to David Elm, with a goal and an assist.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    42'’ Mears to take this right-footed... and he curls it over the wall and dipping just over the bar! Good effort.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    37'’ Fox will take and he fires it low through the well but Schwarzer reads the deflection and, on his knees, gathers into the chest.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    HT’ Kevin Friend blows up for half-time and Avram Grant wants to continue his argument, coming onto the pitch to get in the face of Friend! I can see the Portsmouth manager watching the second half from the stands at this rate.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    36'’ Etuhu slides in two-footed on Nugent around 30 yards out. Not too vicious but a bit silly and a free-kick from shooting range.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    32'’ BURNLEY SUB: Defender Cort picked up a knock during the second goal, winger Eagles comes on for him and Edgar will move to centre-half, with Fox left-back. Well I think he picked up a knock; Brian Laws could just have decided he is getting done by Elm, also Edgar is not a natural left-back and it shows.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    33'’ Fulham have a free-kick, around 40 yards out. Taken quick and Murphy runs it, now Duff on the right, he turns Edgar inside out and smashes in a cross which seems to hit him on the arm but nothing given!

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    45+2'’ Wilson plays a ball forward to Dindane, he turns in the box and slips but wants a penalty! The referee is very quick to wave that away.

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    45+1'’ The half-time whistle goes at Eastlands, and Manchester City lead 1-0 courtesy of Carlos Tevez's seventh goal from six home games after Adam Johnson won the penalty!

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    46'’ And that is halftime at the DW Stadium where Wigan lead 1-0 thanks to Scharner's header after 14 minutes.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    32'’ GOAL FULHAM! ELM! A hint of offside as Zamora raced in down the right, he cut inside Leon Cort and drilled it on goal, Jensen could only parry the low shot and Elm was on hand with a deserved tap-in! His first for Fulham.

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    44'’ Rodallega is brought crashing to the ground by Robert Huth on the byline who picks up a booking.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    28'’ Fulham with some nice play on the right, inside from Duff to Elm, who stands it up and slips it back TO ETUHU ON THE EDGE OF THE BOX BUT BATTED AWAY BY JENSEN! Cracking strike from the Nigerian! More good play from Elm too!

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    41'’ Scharner comes within inches of heading Wigan two up as he again escapes his marker in the box but this time directs his header a yard wide.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    40'’ Pompey continue to press and can consider themselves very unlucky to be 1-0 down. Bouba Diop pounces on a loose ball in the box and fires in a superb volley to the near post but it goes the wrong side of the post and hits the side-netting.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    26'’ The ball drops to Fletcher on the edge of the box and he cracks an ambitious shot on goal that fizzes just wide.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    39'’ Excellent play from Dindane, who skips past the challenge of Cana before beating Turner and firing in a cross which is headed clear.

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    39'’ Sorensen flaps at the corner and almost palms it into his own net but it goes wide.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    24'’ GOAL FULHAM! MURPHY! A lovely diagonal ball into the box from Shorey is flicked on by the rather tall and seemingly quite good Elm, Murphy raced on to it and fired the ball low into the bottom right. 1-0!

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    38'’ Muamba drives a powerful volley from the edge of the penalty area which deflects viciously off Kompany, but Given makes a fine save diving to his right!

  • Fulham - Burnley

    21'’ Fulham charge forward again, Duff slips it in for Elm who digs out a curling effort that Jensen dives across to parry! Jensen holds on and sends it upfield, now Fletcher is in and he shoots but wide! A chance! A save! A counter! Another chance! Great scott!

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    35'’ Toure stumbles over the ball inside the City box, bringing Elmander with him, but he cons the referee and a free-kick goes his way - that could easily have been a penalty!

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    35'’ Sidibe slices a volley from 10 yards out wide when completely unmarked at the far post.

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    31'’ GOAL!!!! It is a poor penalty from Tevez, straight down the middle, but Jaaskelainen diverts the ball into the bottom corner after being caught slightly flat-footed! Tevez scores in fortunate fashion from the spot, but he won't care one bit!

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    34'’ Dindane lays off for O'Hara on the right and he pushes infield before shooting just wide of Gordon's far post.

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    30'’ Stoke almost equalise! A freekick from the right is floated into the box and it falls at the feet of Sidibe but Wigan just manage to scramble it clear.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    30'’ Piquionne nods on James's goal-kick and Dindane in turn flicks onto O'Hara, who has burst through the middle, but the Spurs loanee can't get the ball out of his feet to get a shot off, instead forcing a corner.

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    30'’ PENALTY! Johnson weaves mesmerically past Robinson, cutting in from the right, and the defender lunges in desperately to concede the penalty! Carlos Tevez will take it....

  • Fulham - Burnley

    12'’ Nugent runs at the Fulham defence from 30 yards but he is all alone and they clear. Duff now has it on the right wing, he is in and there are people queuing up for it but he plays a cut-back to no-one, into space on the edge of the box and Burnley bring it away! That was a super chance to set up a simple finish for Zamora or Elm.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    24'’ Finnan is booked after Reid cut inside and had his heels clipped. That looked a little harsh from the ref, who hasn't covered himself in glory so far.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    22'’ Piquionne, who's drifted to the back post, gets his head on a long ball forward and nods back to Dindane, who flicks the ball inside and shoots to force a smart save from Gordon!

  • Fulham - Burnley

    8'’ A heavy touch from Edgar and, trying to win it back, he catches Duff. Free-kick, no card. Played towards Zamora, he wins the header to knock it back to Duff, who drills it low across the six-yard box but just beyond Davies at the far post! A foot closer to the Welshman and he had a tap-in!

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    14'’ Stoke will be kicking themselves as that freekick came from a toally unnecessary off-the-ball offence from Etherington that earned him a yellow card.

  • Fulham - Burnley

    1'’ Match underway at Craven Cottage!

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    12'’ GOAL! After all the commotion Bent steps up and slots the penalty into the bottom-left corner past the despairing James, who is making his first appearance at Fratton Park since October.

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    13'’ Goal for Wigan! Scharner heads a freekick from the right powerfully past Sorensen from 10 yards.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    11'’ The Portsmouth players are furious and there's real confusion! The ref thought Yebda made the challenge and sent him off - and Rocha didn't own up! Eventually Kevin Friend sorts out the mess and Rocha walks.

  • Wigan Athletic - Stoke City

    9'’ Stoke hurl another long throw into the box but Wigan break quickly and Jason Scotland sees his shot deflected wide.

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    6'’ The combative De Jong wins the ball in midfield and finds Johnson, who shows an immaculate touch to bring the ball down, but Tevez shoots tamely straight at Jaaskelainen - a good opening!

  • Manchester City - Bolton Wanderers

    1'’ The first half is underway at Eastlands, and the hosts kick us off in front of some fervent home support.

  • Portsmouth - Sunderland

    1'’ And we're off!

  • Chelsea - Arsenal

    90+5’ Long in for Bendtner, Gallas follows up too but Cech gathers, launching it upfield as Mike Dean blows for full time. Chelsea back on top, Arsenal pretty much out of it now.

  • Chelsea - Arsenal

    69'’ Fabregas will take this then, just to the left of the D, a yard from the edge of the box... He smashes it low, a deflection maybe and into the bottom left but a super save by Cech! Bendtner goes down in the melee but nothing given!

  • Chelsea - Arsenal

  • Chelsea - Arsenal

    65'’ ARSENAL SUB: Walcott comes off for Bendtner.

  • Chelsea - Arsenal

  • Chelsea - Arsenal

    23'’ GOAL CHELSEA! Guess what, it's Drogba again, and guess what, it was on the counter. Arshavin gave it away, Lampard played it through to Drogba who cut inside past Clichy who, as with Park last week, made a mess of his challenge and Drogba just smashed it past Almunia, left-footed, for 2-0.

  • Chelsea - Arsenal

  • Birmingham City - Wolverhampton Wanderers

    85'’ GOAL BIRMINGHAM! And what a finish from Phillips! Rolling back the years, he chests Carr's cross down, spins and volleys. Lovely goal, a great run from Carr too. Made in 1999 that goal.

  • Birmingham City - Wolverhampton Wanderers

    79'’ Phillips has a crack but blocked, still with Birmingham and Johnson gets the ball on the left, now Fahey who crosses deep and Gardner nods the ball across goal AND GOAL! PHILLIPS! THE VETERAN WITH A SLICK LOW FINISH FOR 1-1!

  • Birmingham City - Wolverhampton Wanderers

    78'’ Hart puts the goal kick long, Jerome controls, Dann now and Gardner on the right, he whacks it in low AND JEROME SLIDES IN TO FINISH BUT OFF HAHNEMANN AND JEROME AGAIN BUT BLOCKED FOR A CORNER!

  • Birmingham City - Wolverhampton Wanderers

    77'’ Good play by Dann to feed Bowyer, he controls in the box, Mancienne tackles but Bowyer gets it back, he holds it up for Jerome but the shot is blocked. Wolves go down the other end, Guedioura turns away from Johnson and he gets beyond Dann before striking a wicked shot that flies inches over! Super shot!

  • Birmingham City - Wolverhampton Wanderers

    74'’ BLUES SUB: Fahey on for McFadden, straight swap on the left.

  • Birmingham City - Wolverhampton Wanderers

    68'’ BIRMINGHAM SUB: Gardner comes on for his debut after joining from local rivals Villa.

  • Birmingham City - Wolverhampton Wanderers

    45+1’ Ironic cheers as Mancienne gets a booking for hauling down Benitez in the centre circle.

  • Birmingham City - Wolverhampton Wanderers

    42'’ Zubar does well to get in down the right but with little support has to look back... good pressure from Wolves here as Jones shoots, blocked but Henry can have a pop but looks wide to Foley who drills it in low AND DOYLE! INTO THE ROOF OF THE NET! He snuck in at the near post and Wolves breach that normally impregnable defence!

  • Birmingham City - Wolverhampton Wanderers

    41'’ Mancienne knocks the ball on but Doyle is held off, it lands to FOLEY WITH THE VOLLEY but straight at Hart! Should have done better, either side of him and that could have been 1-0!

  • Birmingham City - Wolverhampton Wanderers

    40'’ Benitez with a clever turn and lay-off to McFadden, who gets the one-two all wrong. Johnson slides in on Ward after giving the ball away, yellow card.

  • Birmingham City - Wolverhampton Wanderers

    35'’ Benitez chases on to a ball down the left, he could be in and Bowyer is in support but Mancienne trips him, play on and Benitez shoots but saved by the feet of Hahnemann. In the end McFadden wins a corner. Bowyer is FURIOUS that no further action was taken on Mancienne.

  • Birmingham City - Wolverhampton Wanderers

    31'’ Jarvis will swing it in... great ball into the six-yard box AND ZUBAR MUST SCORE but he somehow heads across goal and wide of the far post!

  • Birmingham City - Wolverhampton Wanderers

    28'’ Poor low cross from Ward with Wolves players lining up in the box, Johnson lumps it clear for a throw. Foley now has it on the left but his deep cross goes out for a throw on the far side. Now Henry has it on the edge of the box, he strikes a drive towards goal and Carr blocks but did that hit a hand? No says the ref.

  • Birmingham City - Wolverhampton Wanderers

    23'’ Hart almost gets himself in a right pickle, booked for swiping Doyle's legs away after a defensive error saw him played in down the left. Free-kick just on the edge of the box...

  • Birmingham City - Wolverhampton Wanderers

  • Tottenham Hotspur - Aston Villa

    52'’ Chance for Carew! Well, it would have been had he not attempted a silly backheel instead of just blasting home! As it is, he makes a hash of it and the ball squirts away to safety!

    46'’ Back underway at White Hart Lane... no changes to tell you about.

  • Tottenham Hotspur - Aston Villa

  • Tottenham Hotspur - Aston Villa

    28'’ Oooh! Double chance for Villa as Milner unleashes a fierce drive from the edge of the box which Gomes can only spill into the path of Agbonlahor... but the Brazilian keeper recovers to make a second save on the follow-up!

  • Bolton Wanderers - Fulham

    89'’ Kevin Davies has headed in from a free-kick from the left but the referee has disallowed it. There must have been a push in there or maybe the ball drifted out of play before curling back in.

  • Sunderland - Wigan Athletic

    89'’ Caldwell takes the free kick - but goes in the book for taking his time as he does so!

  • Hull City - Manchester City

    88'’ Barry plays the free-kick out to Johnson on the right. The former Middlesbrough man cuts in and swings in a cross which Myhill comes for and nearly punches into his own net! Fortunately for the Welshman it goes behind!

  • Bolton Wanderers - Fulham

    72'’ Cohen and Lee play a lovely one-two and it looks like Lee is going to round Schwarzer but the Australian keeper gets an arm to it again. And he really has been the Fulham hero today.

  • Sunderland - Wigan Athletic

    58'’ There's another booking here, this time it's N'Zogbia who shoulderbarges Lee Cattermole in the face. No arguments there...

  • Burnley - West Ham United

    57'’ Parker free of his man and into the box... it should be 2-1... Jensen with a great save to tip it around the post!

  • Sunderland - Wigan Athletic

    57'’ UNBELIEVABLE SAVE FROM GORDON!!!! Wigan pushed up and George McCartney was put clean through on goal, but Gordon charged him nervelessly to make a save that keeps the Black Cats in the match!

  • Burnley - West Ham United

    56'’ What a debut for the man Laws signed from Celtic! First he set up the opener with a great ball - then that free-kick was sublime, curled high away from everyone and down under the bar.

  • Stoke City - Blackburn Rovers

    55'’ Corner to Stoke now and it's forced a save out of Robinson!! The header was from Shawcross and the keeper had to dive to palm that one away!!

    56'’ Vanden Borre's got a problem here... he's clutching his thigh and it looks like he's coming off...

    55'’ FOX BENDS IT INTO THE TOP CORNER! 2-0!

  • Sunderland - Wigan Athletic

    54'’ BENT DENIED!!! Jones puts Bent clean through, he rounds the keeper and slams the ball into the net - but the flag was up! Crying shame for Sunderland, it was a great move and there was only a yard in it.

  • Bolton Wanderers - Fulham

    53'’ Dikgacoi looks to have deon his ankle and he has been forced off. Dickson Etuhu, back from the African Cup of Nations, is a natural replacement.

  • Stoke City - Blackburn Rovers

    52'’ N'Zonzi is booked for a high tackle. He's not happy about it either.

  • Hull City - Manchester City

    53'’ Altidore, surrounded by three Man City players, goes down in the box but the referee isn't having any of it.

  • Sunderland - Wigan Athletic

  • Sunderland - Wigan Athletic

    45'+3’ The ref blows up and that's the end of the first half. There have been a few solid chances on both sides, but Wigan always looked more like the team with the cutting edge where it counts.

  • Manchester United - Portsmouth

    45'’ GOAL! Another for United! It's all about Nani, who teases Vanden Borre inside and out before sending over a cross... it takes a cruel deflection off the Belgian, stumping James and creeping in at the near post! Two forced own-goals in two games for Nani, following last week's against Arsenal!

  • Burnley - West Ham United

    45'’ Blake bends in a wicked cross and a Burnley man falls over in the box, wanting a penalty... it is Nugent. There didn't seem to be much contact.

  • Bolton Wanderers - Fulham

    42'’ OFF THE BAR BOLTON: Long ball drops into box - Davies gets his head on it and Hangeland can only put it into the path of Mark Davies six yards out and he looks all set to score but Schwarzer makes a stunning save with his feet and it then deflects up onto the bar.

  • Manchester United - Portsmouth

    10'’ Berbatov! Ooh! The Bulgarian gets on the end of Rooney's cross, but his effort goes wide of the post!

  • Stoke City - Blackburn Rovers

    8'’ GOAL!!! And it's Danny Higginbotham!! From the corner, he was unmarked at the back post and he volleyed it home! 1-0 Stoke.

  • Sunderland - Wigan Athletic

    8'’ From the throw Hutton passes brilliantly to Bent, who spins and fires well but it's taken solidly by Chris Kirkland. Best chance of the match so far.

  • Hull City - Manchester City

    4'’ Electric start from the Tigers! Altidore breaks and is brought down on the edge of the area by the trailing leg of Toure, who is booked.

  • Hull City - Manchester City

    1'’ Hull City get us underway...

  • Manchester United - Portsmouth

    1'’ Here we go! Underway at a sunny Old Trafford after a minute's silence to remember those who perished in the Munich air disaster.

  • Burnley - West Ham United

    1'’ We are underway at Turf Moor. The home side kicking from left to right in traditional colours, West Ham in dark blue.

  • Stoke City - Blackburn Rovers

    1'’ We're underway at the Brittania!

  • Sunderland - Wigan Athletic

      All neutral eyes will be on the two respective clubs' big signings, Mwaruwari Benjani for Sunderland and Victor Moses for Wigan. Disappointingly, both start on the bench.

  • Liverpool - Everton

    90'+7’ There goes the whistle! And Liverpool record a famous win thanks to Dirk Kuyt's goal! It ends 1-0 to the Reds!

  • Liverpool - Everton

    90'+7’ Off goes Kuyt now to be replaced by Skrtel.

  • Liverpool - Everton

    90'+5’ PIENAAR IS SENT OFF! That adds insult to injury for Everton... it's a second booking for the South African for a shove on Gerrard...

  • Sunderland - Wigan Athletic

      Wigan: Kirkland, Boyce, Caldwell, Bramble, Figueroa, McCarthy, Scharner, Thomas, Diame, N'Zogbia, Rodallega. Subs: Stojkovic, Scotland, Moses, Gomez, Sinclair, Moreno, Melchiot

  • Liverpool - Everton

    88'’ Yakubu! Oooh! Reina is brought into action by Yak's snap shot from the edge of the box! Corner to Everton....

  • Burnley - West Ham United

      New signing Danny Fox (groin) has passed a late fitness test and makes his Burnley debut. Fellow new recruit Jack Cork will also be hoping to make his first appearance after joining on loan from Chelsea - he is on the bench. Kevin McDonald is fit despite coming off with a knock during the Chelsea match, while fellow casualty Christian Kalvenes has not made it. Chris McCann is back in training after his knee injury but will not be involved, while Stephen Jordan is yet to return from a hamstring strain. Steven Caldwell (groin) and Graham Alexander (calf) are still sidelined.

  • Liverpool - Everton

    84'’ Plenty of pushing and shoving, but nothing too serious... Gerrard is booked, as is Anichebe, to take today's yellow card count to six.

  • Hull City - Manchester City

      HULL: Myhill, McShane, Gardner, Mouyokolo, Dawson, Fagan, Boateng, Cairney, Hunt, Altidore, Vennegoor of Hesselink Subs: Duke, Barmby, Garcia, Kilbane, Zayatte, Zaki, Olofinjana

  • Liverpool - Everton

    83'’ Handbags! It all goes off in the middle of the pitch after Gerrard goes in on Pienaar, who was prone on the ground!

  • Burnley - West Ham United

      West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola has gone from having limited attacking options to a choice of six strikers following the club's transfer dealings in the January window: here he partners new boy Benni McCarthy with Carlton Cole while signings Mido and Ilan are on the bench. Danny Gabbidon, Guillermo Franco and Kieron Dyer (all hamstring) are ruled out.

  • Burnley - West Ham United

      The referee today is Howard Webb of South Yorkshire. The teams are in:

  • Stoke City - Blackburn Rovers

      Welcome to our LIVE coverage of this afternoon's Premier League clash between Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers!

  • Manchester United - Portsmouth

      Man Utd: Van der Sar, Neville, Brown, Jonathan Evans, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Fletcher, Nani, Berbatov, Rooney; Subs: Kuszczak, Owen, Park, Fabio Da Silva, Gibson, De Laet, Diouf.

  • Liverpool - Everton

    72'’ Here comes that Everton change... Yakubu and Anichebe both come on... Saha and Osman off.

  • Liverpool - Everton

    63'’ Here comes that change... Ryan Babel comes on to replace David Ngog.

  • Liverpool - Everton

    56'’ Heitinga is booked as Maxi skips past him and goes to ground!

  • Liverpool - Everton

    55'’ GOAL! KUYT OPENS THE SCORING AND LIVERPOOL HAVE THE LEAD! The Dutchman outmuscles Neville to nod home from close range from a corner! Howard will be unhappy with his contribution there, but Liverpool have the lead!

  • Liverpool - Everton

    46'’ Back underway at Anfield! No changes to tell you about...

  • Liverpool - Everton

    45'+4’ There goes the whistle to bring an end to what has been a fiery opening period! Liverpool head in goalless but with a man less... plenty more to come after the break!

  • Liverpool - Everton

    45'+2’ Oooh! Cahill! What a chance! Mascherano attempts to head clear a cross but only succeeds in knocking the ball back to Cahill, who flies in with a diving header! But he fires it inches over the bar! What a miss. And from Cahill, of all people!

  • Liverpool - Everton

    45'’ Gerrard over it... OFF THE BAR! Ooh! What an effort by the Liverpool skipper! He sends it over the wall and onto the top of the crossbar, although Howard will claim he had it covered!

  • Liverpool - Everton

    41'’ Fellaini departs down the tunnel and here comes Arteta... good to see the Spaniard back in action.

  • Liverpool - Everton

    35'’ Benitez doesn't like that one! But he must know you can't go in with two feet and stay on the pitch. Fellaini is stretchered off in quite some pain, and the game will get back underway...

  • Liverpool - Everton

    34'’ Kyrgiakos could be in trouble here as the Greek goes in two-footed on Fellanini! It's all going off at the moment... Fellaini stays down... and referee Martin Atkinson produces a red! Liverpool are down to 10 men!

  • Liverpool - Everton

    30'’ Carragher exacts revenge on Pienaar with a horrible challenge from behind and he goes into the book too! It's hotting up and to be fair, Everton are lucky not to be down to 10 men.

  • Liverpool - Everton

    30'’ Another crunching collision in the middle of the pitch, this time between Pienaar and Mascherano! The Liverpool man stays down and Pienaar is booked for what replays show is a very high foot on the Argentine's shin... could easily have been red!

  • Liverpool - Everton

    22'’ It's Baines who takes it... on target! But Reina gets his hand to it to force the ball over the bar!

  • Liverpool - Everton

    20'’ That's a terrible pass by Kyrgiakos, straight to Donovan who advances on goal... Kuyt deliberately upends him and that'll be a yellow card for the Dutchman and a free-kick for Everton, 25 yards out, dead central.

  • Liverpool - Everton

    13'’ It falls to Agger after a spot of ping pong in the box... but the Dane can't direct his half volley on target and the ball is blazed over Howard's bar and into the midst of the Kop!

  • Liverpool - Everton

    4'’ Gerrard takes it himself, firing on target from a narrow angle! Howard stands firm and punches clear though!

  • Liverpool - Everton

    1'’ Here we go! Underway on Merseyside!

  • Liverpool - Everton
