  1. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:37 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    So close for Liverpool. Raheem Sterling's surging run sets up Philippe Coutinho, whose low shot is turned wide. The hosts turning the screw.

    Abel Hernandez goes close for Hull once more as he flashes a header wide of the goal after a smart left-foot free-kick in to the area from Tom Huddlestone.

    Ben Foster is rooted to the spot as he watches it glide past the post. Steve Bruce makes his final substitution as he brings joint top-scorer Nikita Jelavic off the bench to replace Sone Aluko.

  3. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:36 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    So close to the breakthrough for Palace there. Yet another Palace corner ends with the ball breaking to substitute Jason Puncheon, who controls before lashing a shot off the bar. Seconds later the winger did get the ball in the net but the offside flag ruled the effort out.

  4. Scottish Premiership latestpublished at 16:36 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    Aberdeen are motoring at Pittodrie as they lead Hamilton 3-0. Accies not so long ago were top of the Premiership but they are finding it tough to continue that form. There have been precious few goalmouth chances after the interval at Firhill where Partick Thistle and Kilmarnock are still tied at 1-1, and south of the River Clyde, across in Paisley, Tommy Craig's dismal run as St Mirren manager continues as they trail St Johnstone 1-0. In the only other top-flight match, Dundee and Inverness are drawing 1-1 at Dens Park - Billy McKay cancelling out Greg Stewart's opener.

  5. Austin hero to zeropublished at 16:36 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    "Once you're in that rich vein of form in front of goal that Charlie Austin is, those finishes become very easy. The jury is still out on QPR, they are still in big trouble. Harry Redknapp says Austin should get 20 goals this season - that's very different to the eight he's on now, so we'll have to wait and see."

  6. RED CARD FOR ARSENALpublished at 16:34 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    Another twist in this fascinating fixture as Arsenal are reduced to 10 men, Calum Chambers pulls down Bojan and is shown his second yellow card. Blow for the Gunners, but possibly a boost for Stoke. Can they hold on for victory?

  7. RED CARD FOR QPRpublished at 16:33 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    From hero to villain. Seconds after putting QPR 2-0 ahead, Charlie Austin sees red for a second bookable offence. His foul on Michael Keane make it a miserable afternoon for the former Claret.

  8. GOALpublished at 16:31 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    Who else? Former Burnley striker Charlie Austin doubles QPR'S lead to inflict more misery on his old pals. Rangers's top scorer couldn't really miss as he slots home from close range after Mauricio Isla's pull back.

  9. Postpublished at 16:30 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    Inspired by Steven Gerrard, Liverpool are beginning to come on strong into the last 20 minutes as they see Philippe Coutinho have a shot blocked. Can they get a morale-boosting winner ahead of Tuesday's must-win Champions League test against Basel?

  10. Postpublished at 16:30 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    West Brom's Craig Gardner tests the reflexes of Allan McGregor with a free-kick on the edge of the area. McGregor punches his right-foot effort clear and Alan Irvine chooses to bring striker Saido Berahino off the bench to replace Victor Anichebe.

  11. Lifeline for Arsenalpublished at 16:29 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    Garth Crooks
    BBC Final Score

    "It's a long, looping set piece, not the greatest ball in the world, but all the Stoke players just turn and watch the flight of the ball, and Ramsey just volleys it straight in.

    "It's been an excellent performance by Stoke, but Arsenal have an abundance of talent, and they have a lifeline here now.

    "Aside from the last few minutes it is a game that from start to finish has been a comedy of errors for Arsenal. Young Calum Chambers has had a very difficult time, even in his favoured centre back position. Laurent Koscielny is on the bench, people will ask why. Danny Welbeck also started on the bench. There are some big questions for Arsene Wenger to answer over the coming days."

  12. Postpublished at 16:27 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    Crystal Palace just 20 minutes away from earning what could prove a crucial point in terms of the relegation battle, but Neil Warnock's men will fancy they can win this. The crosses are still flying in from the visitors but they haven't been able to find the finishing touch.

  13. GOALpublished at 16:26 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    The fight back is on! Alexis Sanchez swings in a corner from the right and Aaron Ramsey volleys home through a crowd of players. Stoke are all over the place, Arsenal are flying.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:25 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    Brendan Rodgers has had enough as he brings on skipper Steven Gerrard for Adam Lallana. Twenty three minutes for 'Stevie G' to conjure some magic for Liverpool. It has been pretty poor so far.

  15. GOALpublished at 16:24 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    Santi Cazorla confidently fires home the spot kick and Arsenal reduce the deficit to two goals. Can they get back into this?

  16. PENALTY TO ARSENALpublished at 16:23 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    Mame Biram Diouf trips Mathieu Flamini and it is a penalty to Arsenal. Chance now to get back into this.

  17. Postpublished at 16:23 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    There's only one game in League Two because of the FA Cup, but Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's Burton are heading for second spot in the table after Jacob Blyth's goal breaks the deadlock at Exeter.

  18. Postpublished at 16:23 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    Entering the last 25 minutes in our games and Burnley are desperately pushing for a leveller. The busy George Boyd fires horribly over for the Clarets. The visitors have done enough to feel they deserve an equaliser but that won't get them any points.

  19. Postpublished at 16:22 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    Poor Roberto Soldado. The Spurs striker may have scored the other night but he still looks like a man short on confidence. He flashes well wide from a promising position inside the penalty area.
