Hull manager Steve Bruce makes one change for the visit of Southampton. Defence Alex Bruce misses out with a hamstring injury.

Once again, third-choice goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic starts with Allan McGregor and Steve Harper both still injured. On-loan winger Gaston Ramirez is ineligible to appear against his parent club.

Ronald Koeman has named winger Sadio Mane on the Southampton bench after he missed Wednesday's League Cup win at Stoke City with an ankle problem. Full-back Ryan Bertrand, who also sat out the trip to the Potteries, comes back into the side.

Hull starting XI: Jakupovic, McShane, Davies, Chester, Elmohamady, Huddlestone, Diame, Livermore, Brady, Ben Arfa, Hernandez

Southampton starting XI: Forster, Clyne, Schneiderlin, Fonte, Long, Davis, Tadic, Wanyama, Alderweirel, Pelle, Bertrand

"There hasn't really been a lot gone at Simon Mignolet's goal in this second half. That is the reason Alan Pardew has now made the change. Sammy Ameobi can he very frustrating. He does good things but then sometimes does things which are very immature for a professional to do. I think he lost a bit of his touch in the last 10 minutes too. Now we will see what Remy Cabella can do in his place."

That's not a bad effort! By today's standards anyway, Fabio Borini crashing a half-volley wide from 25 yards after good work from Raheem Sterling. They could play all day and not score...

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger names the same team that beat Sunderland last time out for the visit of Burnley. That means Danny Welbeck starts in attack, supported by Alexis Sanchez, Santi Cazorla and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Theo Walcott, on the bench against Sunderland, is once again among the substitutes.

Meanwhile, Dean Marney and Marvin Sordell start for Burnley as boss Sean Dyche makes two changes to the team that lost to Everton in their last game.

Arsenal starting XI: Szczesny, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs, Flamini, Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sanchez, Cazorla, Welbeck.

Burnley starting XI: Heaton; Ward, Shackell, Duff, Trippier; Boyd, Jones, Marney, Arfield; Ings, Sordell.

It's all over at Molineux. Gary Rowett has a point in his first game as manager of Birmingham City, and Wolves go top of the Championship, for a few hours at least.

Ben Jenkins:, external The games against Newcastle used to be ones to savour. Many thrilling encounters. This is as insipid as they come.

Adam Byrne:, external Liverpool are awful. A shadow of the team of last season. Where does Brendan Rodgers go from here?

DJ Williams:, external Brendan Rodgers needs to dump his foolish pride and either drop Mario or give him some help.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes. Remy Cabella comes on for Sammy Ameobi, while Liverpool send on striker Fabio Borini for Joe Allen. That's a positive change. Can he make an impact?

Into the last 25 minutes at St James' Park, where a goal looks elusive. At the moment, completing a six-yard pass seems a big ask for most of them...

Sunday League stuff! Mario Balotelli does well to get away from two or three half-hearted challenges, his touch is then heavy and Daryl Janmaat flattens him with a terrible, wild challenge! High and very late, he's quite lucky to only get a yellow there...

Following the conclusion of our vote on the Premier League's best goalkeeper earlier (see 12:52), we're asking you to contribute to an alternative top three.

Tharshan:, external Without doubt it's Thibaut Courtois, David De Gea and Hugo Lloris. Good luck ranking them though, all three are top quality.

Angus McPhail:, external Relatively new, but Fraser Forster has to be up there for me.

Liam Sumner:, external De Gea, Courtois, Lloris.

Some breaking team news for you away from the Newcastle-Liverpool game, Diego Costa starts for Chelsea in the Premier League for the first time since 5 October after returning from injury.

Full teams news from all the games coming up shortly.

Luton Town find themselves in their loftiest league position for several seasons - and their fans will feel they've earned it after a taxing few years. Seven straight wins have taken the Hatters to the top of the table, and they travel to Exeter today in search of victory number eight. Third-placed Burton Albion begin life after Gary Rowett, who left to become Birmingham manager this week, with a home match against a Plymouth side that have won five out of their last six. Second-placed Wycombe head to Oxford aiming to halt a two-match winless blip.

"That was probably Liverpool's best move of the game. It was quick and decisive, there was a lovely Steven Gerrard ball and Philippe Coutinho's header was going right in the corner of the goal but a beautiful save from Tim Krul, who pushes it way."

Conor McMeekin:, external Rickie Lambert must be shocking in training if Mario Balotelli gets picked every game, no matter how awful he consistently is.

Patrick Zagar:, external Is Brendan Rodgers blind? Mario is useless by himself, bring on Fabio Borini or Lambert . He's had enough chances by himself.

Kweku Adaboh:, external Brendan, why why why? If your eyes can't see your ears can hear. Don't play Baloteli alone up front!

What a save! The offside flag was up so Liverpool would not have gone ahead, but Tim Krul wasn't to know, He made a flying one-handed save to repel Philippe Coutinho's powerful header. Comfortably the best moment of the game.

Unbeaten Bristol City take on unbeatable Oldham in the division's standout match, as the table-topping Robins aim to break the resolve of a Latics side that has gone 13 matches without defeat. Second-placed Preston face a tricky trip to Lancashire rivals Rochdale, while the contest between high-scoring promotion hopefuls MK Dons and Swindon promises to be a free-flowing cracker.

It should also be a tasty afternoon in Yorkshire, where Sheffield United host Barnsley and Doncaster travel to Bradford in a pair of spicy derbies.

Mario Balotelli - who almost missed kick-off for the second half - curls a tame effort at Tim Krul. It's 40 years since these two played out a 0-0. Not today, surely...

There will be two new, yet familiar, faces in the managers' dugouts today. How long they'll stay there is anyone's guess. Neil Redfearn, the Leeds boss, takes his team to Cardiff hoping to fare better than the two coaches owner Massimo Cellino has already sacked this season. Lee Clark - fired two weeks ago by Birmingham City - takes charge at fellow strugglers Blackpool with a home match against Ipswich. At the other end of the table, either Derby or Watford could be top by 5 o'clock. The Rams travel to Brentford, while the Hornets host Millwall.
