Jak Alnwick starts in goal for Newcastle
FT: Burnley 1-0 Saints, Chelsea 2-0 Hull
FT: Leicester 0-1 Man City, Palace 1-1 Stoke
FT: Sun'land 1-1 West Ham, WBA 1-0 Villa
Stupid booking for Hull midfielder David Meyler as he handles a Hull corner, the ball was past him and he stuck out an arm to try and turn the ball home. That could come back to haunt him.

"You could see Esteban Cambiasso was going to have a shot (see 15:25), but Joe Hart was too far over in his goal. He was scrambling in the end. It's a finely balanced game, but Manchester City are playing too slow. Leicester have shown all the energy so far. And Yaya Toure has just given two silly fouls away in the last two minutes - he has to be careful now."
Reading have won just three times in their previous 13 Championship games and it looks like being another long afternoon for Nigel Adkins' side after Demarai Gray extended Birmingham's lead at St Andrew's, the hosts leading 2-0. Former Blackburn midfielder Jonathan Douglas has put Brentford ahead against his former club at Griffin Park. Huddersfield are down to 10 men at Norwich after defender Murray Wallace was sent off for a professional foul in the 18th minute.
Esteban Cambiasso almost catches out Joe Hart with a free-kick which goes just wide. The Manchester City keeper gives the midfielder a cheeky thumbs-up as he gets back to his feet. The Argentine responds with a grin of his own. Excellent stuff all round.

Final Score
"Adam Johnson showed a bit of good trickery and good feet. There was a bit of a coming together of legs but Johnson went over quite tamely. It wasn't a penalty for me."
Villa are down to 10 men! Kieran Richardson is sent off against his former side, and he can have few complaints. He takes a heavy touch, chases after it and is high and late on Stephane Sessegnon. That's Christmas off for Kieran. Get the in-laws round on Christmas Day.

Image source, APWest Ham have dominated, but it is Sunderland who have the chance to take the lead as Adam Johnson goes down under attention from James Tomkins. Penalty to the Black Cats...
Image source, Getty ImagesHull seeing more of the ball - relative to earlier - but Chelsea look utterly in control. They've had over 70% of the possession so far and are in third gear.
Jose Mourinho's Chelsea at home against a struggling side. You've seen this one before. They win 3-0.
As I say that Sone Aluko shoots over the top from 20 yards. Better from the Tigers.
Manchester City appear to be playing with three players in or around 'the hole' today and it's all looking very crowded as Yaya Toure, David Silva and Samir Nasri battle for space and time on the ball. Not forgetting Jose Pozo, whose natural inclination appears to be to drop into the number 10 role. The only space more crowded than that today is the Trafford Centre car park.
Saints new boy Jake Hesketh is a keen lad - a bit too keen perhaps? A cross is blocked, Burnley keeper Tom Heaton gathers the ball in and Hesketh slides in to catch him very late. A bit too much youthful exuberance...
He goes in the book and has his first fine in first-team football.

Leicester City 0-0 Manchester City

"Leicester's system is working well so far. They are looking very composed and threatening on the break. Jamie Vardy is so direct and quick, he is causing problems. Manchester City have no presence up front. Jose Pozo is mobile but he is very small. City are yet to get out of first gear. They have got to up the tempo, because Leicester are well up for this game."
St Andrew's has become a much happier place since Gary Rowett took charge and the Birmingham fans are celebrating an early goal after Paul Caddis put his side ahead again Reading in the Championship.
In League One, Swindon can go top of the table if results go their way and it's so far so good for the Robins after Andy Williams's sixth minute goal at Notts County.
A huge goal in League Two where leaders Wycombe are trailing at home to promotion rivals Southend following Jack Payne's second-minute effort.
First real chance on goal at The Hawthorns and it goes the hosts' way, Sebastien Pocognoli forcing a smart save out of Brad Guzan at his near post. Alan Irvine's side certainly need a win, having failed to pick up three points from a game since 1 November.
Great play again from Leicester striker Jamie Vardy, getting in behind with some very useful pace. A shooting chance is on - but Eliaquim Mangala is no slouch and gets a block in.
Palace's lead didn't last long, did it? Just a matter of seconds really as Bojan drives down the right and pulls the ball back for Jon Walters who fails with a shot but Peter Crouch doesn't as he bundles home from six yards out on his 600th league appearance.
Image source, Getty ImagesIt's all calmed down a bit at Turf Moor after that frantic opening. Southampton are settling into the game, looking neat and tidy on the ball without posing much threat as yet.
The new Stoke go behind to a goal the old Stoke would have been proud of. Palace's Yannick Bolasie tries a few tricks out on the left and stands up a ball into the box, where James McArthur meets it with the back of his head and it loops over the keeper. Did he mean that?
