    Darren, London: Brendan Rodgers wishes he had some of the £75m he got for Luis Suarez left so he could buy a goal! Looking bleak for the Reds.

    You just feel it's not going to happen for Liverpool today. From Steven Gerrard's free-kick, an unmarked Phillipe Countinho heads over at the back post when he should at least hit the target. There are about five minutes to go.

    Crystal Palace are seeing a bit more of the ball now after a good West Brom spell but no real chances of note. Not too long for them to hold out, though, as we enter the final five minutes.

    "Alex Bruce has just taken another one in the face from Mario Balotelli but he is still better looking than his dad. Hull seem to have just sat back and are trying to take a 0-0. If they get beaten now it is their own fault."

    Southampton's march to second in the Premier League shows no sign of being stopped by Stoke, who are cutting an increasingly frustrated figure. That's not comforting Ronald Koeman, though. The Saints boss is flapping his arms like a man trying to take off.

    Swansea XI: Fabianski; Rangel, Williams, Fernandez, Taylor; Ki, Shelvey; Montero, Sigurdsson, Routledge; Bony.

    Danny Welbeck nods over from close range for Arsenal, who are almost caught out soon after when goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny races to the edge of his own area to head a ball away, but sends it straight to Patrick van Aanholt, who shoots wide of the empty goal from over 25 yards. Sunderland are picking up a little bit in these closing stages, and the home fans have responded to that with a few more shouts of encouragement.

    The first thing Hull have done in this second half, Sone Aluko jinking in from the left of the Liverpool box and shooting straight at Simon Mignolet. As things stand, Liverpool will be eight points behind Chelsea, who will have a game in hand.

    Rubues Hagrid:, external Have a sneaky feeling that Balotelli will hit a stoppage time winner... That will silence the haters!

    "Liverpool have been miles better in this half. Mario Balotelli has certainly made a difference since moving out on the left, but if I was Brendan Rodgers, now that Jordan Henderson has come on I would put Balotelli up front alongside Rickie Lambert. Play the two up there, because there are three Hull centre-backs marking Lambert. Liverpool have to play to win."

    Is it going to be two defeats on the trot for leaders Wycombe? They are a goal down at home to Dagenham and Redbridge - the evergreen Jamie Cureton has scored. Cureton is 39.

    Shrewsbury were a goal down in the third minute, but have now taken the lead at home to Portsmouth. As it stands, they will only be two points shy of current new leaders Burton.

    Stoke showing a flash, ending in their best chance of the second half. From Phil Bardsley's cross, Mame Biram Diouf slides in, but makes no contact. There's about 15 minutes to go at St Mary's and around the country.

    It is still West Brom looking the most likely to score at The Hawthorns and they twice go close in quick succession as first James Morrison smashes a shot from a cross against Brede Hangeland, before Saido Berahino whacks the rebound over.

    Mo, Manchester: If Mario Balotelli didn't hold the ball up and slow it down the ball would end up back in the Liverpool box. It's not Balotelli, it's the team. They can't play with quick passing and fast counter attacks anymore.

    Liverpool still pressing, Dejan Lovren missing his kick having been slightly sold down the river by a pass behind him from Mario Balotelli. The Reds make their final change, Jordan Henderson on for Emre Can.

    "Sunderland cannot afford another defeat because it will crank the pressure up on Gus Poyet."

    Still just the one goal in this game and as long as that is all there is between these two sides, Sunderland still have a chance. Arsenal are struggling to create anything of note at the moment, and they have goals on the bench - Theo Walcott, Lukas Podolski and Joel Campbell all sat waiting.

    Jon Booth, London: Steven Gerrard is like most people; when the pressure is off he relaxes and plays top football. Without someone in the team with the class of Luis Suarez he is just not the same player.
