Both teams have settled quickly, the ball on the turf and being caressed around. Brian Clough used to present a ball in his pre-match team talks and tell players to look after it. This one is being treated to a little luxury. Back and forth, no clear opportunities yet.

Game on at the Bernabeu as Cristiano Ronaldo knocks in a penalty with supreme confidence after Gerard Pique had handled in the area. That, amazingly, is the first goal Barcelona have conceded in the league this season.

I'll say one thing, the Liberty cuts an impressive sight under the lights. Pitch a green a carpet, the Swansea white in particular shimmering. Get used to this sight, football in daylight will soon be gone for five months or so.

"This is an intriguing encounter. Both teams are looking to end winless runs, and although neither side's results have been what they will have wanted, their performances haven't been too bad. It promises to be an interesting evening."

Huddles at the Liberty, applause from the crowd. The white shirts of Swansea get us under way, kicking right to left as we look. Leicester in their usual blue. We're off.

Stoke boss Mark Hughes: "We are disappointed to a certain extent because in the first half we were a little bit apprehensive in our play, maybe a consequence of Southampton's great result last time out. We showed them too much respect. We conceded from a set play, where the ball was ricocheting around. We were unlucky that it fell to one of their guys and he despatched it.

"We were better second half, got a little bit of control of the game, and you saw by the reaction of the Southampton crowd at the end that they knew we were pushing to get back on level terms.

"Credit to Southampton, they are on a great run. It was always going to be a difficult game for us. But when you look back on it, we were a lot closer than we thought."

Hull City manager Steve Bruce: "We have been away at the Emirates and come here and put on another terrific show.

"In the first half we had probably the best opportunity when Hatem Ben Arfa played the ball into Jake Livermore, Liverpool got frustrated in the second-half and we came away with a thoroughly deserved point.

"We had four or five players missing today from the team that played Arsenal and everyone that came in put in a terrific performance."

If Real Madrid-Barcelona is El Clasico, then Swansea-Leicester is El...what?

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers: "Performance wise we were excellent, particularly in the second half where we were outstanding.

"After a tough game in midweek it was a great effort from the players and we deserved to win the game. I thought it was just a matter of time until we scored, we created some opportunities and had 19 shots at goal. I can't ask for any more from the players, they've given everything."

On Mario Balotelli's last-minute chance, Rodgers added: "He will be disappointed with that. The cross came in, it was a perfect ball, he just opened his foot up too far and the chance was gone."

If Real Madrid-Barcelona is El Clasico, then Swansea-Leicester is El...what?

Erm, how on Earth do you come to the conclusion that the goalposts aren't the right size? In the warm-up, have a few shots at goal, see them all go over. "These goals aren't tall enough." Maybe it was a keeper. "Ball keeps going in, goals must be too big". Extraordinary. Players in the tunnel.

"Leicester are complaining the goalposts are not the correct size here at The Liberty. They've asked the referee to measure them! Referee says both posts are the correct height. Moral of the story: don't invite Leicester round to measure carpet any time soon. Bet you El Clasico doesn't have this sort of drama..."

Remember when we mentioned the measuring of the posts at the Liberty? We may have an explanation...

Sunderland manager Gus Poyet: "I'm sure everybody will comment on the two goals but we tried hard, the players gave everything. We did not create enough but you cannot concede goals like we did today.

"It's a long week after two defeats but we've got plenty of time to make decisions. There is no other way other than to keep working, convincing the players and trying not to make mistakes and hopefully try to win a game. We made it difficult for Arsenal apart from the goals.

"I wanted to see the players today, to see them be brave and pass the ball and I think they were close. We didn't make many mistakes in the first seven games but in the last two games we made more than you expect in the whole season. We need to put that right."

Ponder this. If Real Madrid-Barcelona is El Clasico, then Swansea-Leicester is El...what? Text and tweet in the usual ways. Ten minutes or so before the players emerge in south Wales.

Luton are the new leaders of League Two. The Hatters, promoted last season, had Luke Guttridge to thank for his 90th minute winner against Northampton Town.

They claim top spot because former leaders Wycombe drew 1-1 at home to Dagenham and Redbridge, while Burton lost 1-0 at Stevenage.

Shrewsbury are only three points behind the leaders because of a 2-1 victory at home to Portsmouth.

Hartlepool replace Tranmere at the bottom after losing 2-1 at Cambridge.

Daniel George Broda:, external Mario Balotelli is clearly lacking confidence but his arrogance and lack of effort mean all the criticism is entirely justified.

Svein Erik Gjelseng:, external Why did Hull, who were so positive and good against Arsenal last week, play so utterly negatively against Liverpool? Very strange.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman: "It was a difficult game. If you don't kill the game then it is always difficult until the last second. I think we played a very good first half. It was more difficult in the second half. Stoke changed their system and we didn't control like we had before. But we still had eight opportunities to score.

"You can't win every week so easy. Sometimes it is more difficult because Stoke were very strong. But it is a great win."

On being second: "We'd like to stay at the top but we know we have to work very hard to do that. But nothing is impossible. We live by week to week and I think that is the best you can do.

"We will enjoy being second because it isn't normal, because there are other teams with maybe more qualities. But the team deserves this position because they work hard every day."

Very odd scenes at the Liberty, where one of the officials is on a step ladder, measuring the height of the bar with a tape measure. Has it changed since there was last a game here? If it's wrong today, was it wrong then too? Do they have nothing better to do?

Will: Liverpool looked good but just couldn't convert. If we had bought Loic Remy we wouldn't have had this much trouble surely?

Ben Spence: Why does Brendan Rodgers refuse to play another striker with Mario Balotelli? Clearly doesn't work as a lone striker.
