    Chance for Arsenal as Gaston Ramirez - quickly becoming Hull's hatchet man - scythes down Alexis Sanchez on the edge of the away box. The free-kick is dealt with by the sturdy Hull defence, but the pressure continues to mount...

    "This is the way Chelsea play at home, where they just knock the ball around, keep possession and wait for an opportunity to open up. Palace are just sitting deep in their own half. They need to make changes, and quick."

    David McGoldrick has given Ipswich the lead at home to Blackburn while Huddersfield have increased their lead over Championship strugglers Blackpool, Jacob Butterfield's goal making it 4-2 to the hosts. Bolton, Bournemouth, Middlesbrough, Fulham, Wolves, Derby and Watford continue to lead.

    In League One, Notts County lead Crawley 4-2, while League Two leaders Wycombe are 1-0 up at home to Wimbledon thanks to Josh Scowen.

    Graham Green:, external Can Southampton play teams from the North-East every week? Please?!

    Alistair Wiseman:, external Same old Arsenal story. Lots of possession, barely a shot on target, and a porous defence. You can't blame injuries every season.

    An almost eerie atmosphere at St James' Park with little action of note. Not worth waiting for, as it stands.

    Graziano Pelle cannot stop scoring. His shot which led to Southampton's fourth may go down as an own goal but no doubt about this one as he sweeps home to finish a clever through ball from Dusan Tadic.

    There's a few worried faces at the Emirates as Jack Wilshere goes down, writhing in agony, after colliding with Gaston Ramirez. It looks a serious injury, and the midfielder is quickly replaced by Joel Campbell. He is able to walk down the tunnel, though.

    Two-goal advantage for West Ham. Again. Burnley need to work on aerial threats because big Carlton Cole pounces to nod in their third goal - and their third headed goal - of the match.

    Arsenal fans will have been expecting their players to put rookie Hull keeper Eldin Jakupovic under intense pressure - but they haven't. All bluster but no end product from the Gunners.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:25 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    Ross Barkley's afternoon is over - an impressive return from injury ending with a standing ovation and the youngster is replaced by Steven Pienaar.

    Leicester could, and perhaps should, be ahead at St James' Park. Former Manchester United trainee Matty James breaks from midfield to meet Leonardo Ulloa's pullback, only to snatch at his effort and shoot straight at Tim Krul. Let off for Newcastle because their defence was wider apart than the banks of the River Tyne.

    Sunderland score their second own goal of the afternoon when Liam Bridcutt gets his feet in a tangle and helps Graziano Pelle's shot over the line after it had been spilled by Vito Mannone.

    James Lindsay:, external West Ham could have sacked Big Sam but chose not to. Stayed up and reaping the rewards now. Lesson to the rest of the league?

    Tony Lea Stewart:, external I wanna know what Ronald Koeman puts in his team's breakfast cereal every morning. It's like something from an over the top Bollywood film.

    Hashim Albahbahani:, external Saw the replay again of that Cesc Fabregas goal and I could see it a million times again. Beautiful football.

  14. CLOSE!published at 16:21 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    Southampton almost make it four, but for Patrick van Aanholt's late interception on Dusan Tadic's six-yard shot. The Black Cats are poor at the back today.

  15. CLOSE!published at 16:20 British Summer Time 18 October 2014

    And the Burnley fans are almost cheering an equaliser seconds later! Returning striker Danny Ings meets a right-wing cross with his head, Turf Moor waits with baited breath as it flies goalwards, before the ball drops the wrong side of the Hammers post. Close but not close enough.

    "Shocking goalkeeping from Adrian. He tired to collect the ball by his feet instead of coming through players up high and he loses the ball. It's a tap-in for George Boyd."

    Chelsea, playing in yellow, are completely in control now. The Eagles are chasing shadows.

    Vishak:, external An all-in-all Cesc Fabregas goal that. Cheeky one-two and simple finish.

    Jared Moabe:, external When it's about Fabregas, it's always special. What a goal.

    "If anyone thinks Palace might struggle in the Premier League this season, think again. They have more than enough to be more than comfortable this campaign."
