    "Hatem Ben Arfa is causing Steve Bruce a problem as he has not been an influence on the game. Hull have not shown any adventure or willingness to cause Manchester United problems.

    "Ben Arfa has been anonymous. There has been no space for him to pick up the ball. He has moved him out to the left so hopefully he can find space."

    Remember Joe Cole? The former England international is starting his first Premier League match for Aston Villa and is providing the visitors with a spark of quality they have been missing in the opening weeks of the season against Burnley.

    Chris Smalling, striker extraordinaire. The Manchester United defender pops up in the Hull danger zone again, sweeping into the side-netting after Juan Mata's free-kick falls loose.

    "Deadly dull affair this - not a scrap of work for either goalkeeper to do and just the first signs of impatience from Liverpool's supporters, which is perfectly understandable. Stoke City's fans are keeping themselves amused by loudly taunting Steven Gerrard as he warms up just in front of them. You know... Demba Ba and all that."

    On the Rooney injury scare: "He was clipped by Robbie Brady. He went down straight away and he looks like he is in a lot of pain down there. It looked like he tweaked his ankle as it rolled over the surface.

    "He gave both barrels to the fourth official [as he came back on]. He wasn't happy with the tackle from Brady."

    United have already lost Angel Di Maria to injury and a few moments ago there was a worry over Wayne Rooney. The captain had treatment for an ankle knock after a clash with Robbie Brady. He's back on now, though and seems OK.

    Rickie Lambert vents his frustration as the ball is taken off his toes by Erik Pieters as the Liverpool striker looks set to power in on goal. Mark Hughes looks satisfied on the Potters bench. The same cannot be said of hios opposite number Brendan Rodgers.

    One-way traffic in Manchester. And I'm not talking about Christmas shoppers going into the city centre. Hull are hardly having a kick as United dominate possession.

    Misfiring striker Robin van Persie thinks he is through on goal, only to see the linesman's flag raised for offside.

    "Juan Mata is having a massive influence on this game. He is the best player on the pitch at the moment. It looks like he is really enjoying himself in that role. Since Ander Herrera has come on it has suited the team in the midfield, with players interchanging positions."

    "It wasn't a penalty for me (see 15:24). The ball was bobbling around in the area, it fell to Marouane Chamakh, and under the challenge from Jonjo Shelvey, he went over too easily. There was contact but not enough for the referee to give a penalty."

    It's subdued at Anfield but there's a roar from the crowd as Rickie Lambert is fouled 35 yards from the Potters goal by substitute Glenn Whelan. Lambert goes for goal - and the ball ends up in row Z. This game is crying out for a moment of quality.

    Jamie Vardy's pace continues to cause QPR's defence problems. This isn't going to stay 1-0. Chances at both ends.

    Palace grab that opportunity with both hands. Away skipper Mile Jedinak blasts in the equaliser with their first effort on goal. Five goals in his last eight matches for the Australian - he's coming on to many people's Fantasy Football radar.

  14. PENALTY TO CRYSTAL PALACEpublished at 15:24 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2014

    Swansea midfielder Jonjo Shelvey fouls Palace striker Marouane Chamakh in the away box. And referee Martin Atkinson points to the spot.

    Scrappy start at the Boleyn Ground between high-flying West Ham and high-flying Newcastle. Now there is an adjective I didn't expect to use in relation to those teams. West Ham's ex-Newcastle striker Andy Carroll did have a shot on goal - but was five yards offside.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:22 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2014

    Painful! Steve Sidwell's afternoon is cut short at Anfield as a challenge with Rickie Lambert results in the Liverpool striker falling on Sidwell's knee. On comes Glenn Whelan.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:22 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2014

    Not Neil Warnock's day so far. The Palace boss has to withdraw Dwight Gayle after the striker sustained an earlier knock. After a brief spell with 10 men, midfielder James McArthur is brought on to replace him.

    "Always a slightly strange reaction when a goal is confirmed using goal-line technology, as with Chris Smalling's opener for Manchester United. There was a first, slightly muffled roar, when the incident happened, then a much, much louder one a few seconds later when referee Anthony Taylor signalled that it had gone in. The United players who were near enough to see it seemed pretty sure - they started their celebrations straight away."

    Are Aston Villa going to pay for a string of missed chances? Another opportunity goes begging as Gabriel Agbonlahor gets behind the Burnley defence and his curling shot is comfortably saved by Tom Heaton. Big chance.
