BBC Sport's Chris Bevan at Villa Park

Manchester City arrive at a sunny Villa Park looking for a win to put some pressure on leaders Chelsea, and hoping to find some form after a sluggish start to the defence of their title. A clean sheet would help Manuel Pellegrini's men - they have not managed one of those in the Premier League or Europe since their opening game of the new campaign - but to do that they need to avoid a repeat of the disastrous defending that gifted Aston Villa victory here at a similar stage of last season.

Sean Cole:, external How about some credit now for Burnley? Fantastic result seeing as we had to start with five defenders, three wingers and two strikers.

Nowt wrong with a good, solid 5-3-2, Sean...

Jonathan Grieve:, external Bit of fight in the team and the players are with the manager but the fact remains Newcastle NEED to win games.

Roy Sinar:, external Not all doom and gloom for Albion when a Champions League side has to scrape past us at home. How much did Liverpool spend?

Ahmer Murad:, external Not entirely convincing but plenty of positives. I'm sure Liverpool will build from here. Defence a major worry, though.

Leaders Bristol City drop points as hosts Walsall nick a late 1-1 draw at the Bescot Stadium. But the Robins are still four points clear of Swindon, who move up to second with a 2-1 win at Leyton Orient.

Peterborough drop to third after being held 2-2 by visitors Oldham, while Barnsley move out of the bottom four with a 1-0 triumph at Rochdale.

The Tykes are replaced in the drop zone by Colchester, who lose 4-2 in a six-goal thriller at Preston. Elsewhere, there are wins for Bradford, Fleetwood, Notts County, Doncaster and MK Dons.

Nick from Burnley: Say what you want about Burnley's lack of quality, depth and experience (all obvious and easy judgments) you cant knock their team spirit, never say die attitude & top management. These points will add up come next year!

Chris Clarke: Do you think Alan Pardew has been watching The Producers? Put out a poor team and guarantee yourself the sack and a huge payout, then the players mess it up by scraping a result that keeps him in the job.

But here's the result we've been waiting all afternoon for, courtesy of our colleagues at BBC Cumbria Sport., external A second-half fightback from Kendal, who trailed 1-0 at the interval in the Evo-Stik Division One fixture.

Could have been a long-range winner judging by the position of the keeper in the picture above..

A first win of the season for Sunderland - have things clicked into place at the Stadium of Light? Liverpool finally get the win, but Mario Balotelli starts on the bench, Liverpool fans what did you make of that decision? And a first defeat for Neil Warnock's Crystal Palace at Hull…what are you thoughts on that?

Plenty of movement in the Premier League table.

Rising to sixth, six points off the pace, are Liverpool, but what could have been for Leicester.

Those sly Foxes could have been up to third had they hung on to beat Burnley...

Kwong Tse:, external Well played Liverpool we have the three points! Hope Adam Lallana is OK, he seemed to fall to his knees just before final whistle.

James:, external Leicester look like last year's Southampton, Southampton like last year's Liverpool, and Liverpool like last year's Man United.

And breathe Liverpool fans....

That win stops a rot of four games without a victory. QPR away after the international break then the little matter of Real Madrid at Anfield.

Promotion favourites Norwich cling on to top spot as Cameron Jerome's second-half strike earns a hard-fought point against newly-promoted Rotherham at Carrow Road.

Watford move second as visitors Brighton nick a share of the points, but Nottingham Forest can move above both of them if they beat Ipswich tomorrow.

Middlesbrough move up to fifth as they end Fulham's recent revival under caretaker manager Kit Symons with a 2-0 home win. The Cottagers remain in the bottom three, two points ahead of rock-bottom Bolton.

Wanderers, who parted company with manger Dougie Freedman yesterday, lost 2-1 at home to 10-man Bournemouth.

Neil Lennon
Former Celtic manager on BBC Radio 5 live at Anfield

"It was a very much needed win for Liverpool. You can see how much it means to the players, who are punching the air in delight. It is never easy coming off the back of a Champions League game. West Brom contributed to the match but I think Liverpool just about deserved to win it."

Hull City 2-0 Crystal Palace

Leicester City 2-2 Burnley

Liverpool 2-1 West Bromwich Albion

Sunderland 3-1 Stoke City

Swansea City 2-2 Newcastle United

A stunning, late fightback from Burnley earns them a draw against their fellow Premier League new boys.

Hull are eating up the seconds, hogging the ball and snuffing out any faint Palace hope.

Liam Rosenoir hoofs off the line from Damien Delaney's header as Palace hunt for something out of the game. Just seconds to go...

And the midfielder curls it into the corner to beat Kasper Schmeichel all ends up. Burnley might just have another point. Has their luck changed?
