    Bojan thought he had made it 4-0 with his second of the game - but some time after the ball had been slotted into the net, the referee's assistant ruled out the effort.

    Burnley are pressing for the equaliser but QPR are throwing their bodies in the way in a bid to protect their lead. Danny Ings heads over at the far post as his movement continues to provide a threat.

    Chance for Liverpool as they are awarded a free kick on the left edge of the penalty area. Raheem Sterling is cynically stopped by Liam Bridcutt and the former Brighton man is cautioned. Jordan Henderson's delivery is a waste though as the cross flies over.

    Ben Foster keeps Hull at bay as Jake Livermore swings a cross into the middle of the area for Stephen Quinn, who flicks a header aimed at the bottom corner but Foster gets across to push the shot away. Best chance of the half.

  5. Austin to the rescuepublished at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    "I still think QPR don't look like a team, they still seem fragile and they need more resilience, you can look to Charlie Austin to dig you out the mire occasionally, but they need more resilience throughout the team.

    "But if they can hang on to this, then string some wins together to get to 17 points, it's a big win for them, and it puts a lot of pressure on Sean Dyche's Burnley.

    "I'm not surprised Burnley are struggling - teams that do come up start well, it's the euphoria, the freshness of the Premier League, but tiredness sets in - mental fatigue, bodies get exhausted because the tempo and physicality of the Premier League is very tough, you see that even with top class foreign players, who can take a year to adjust."

    It's raining goals at the top of the Championship. The top three have scored 11 between them - and there's still well over half an hour remaining.

    Tommy Smith has added another for second-placed Ipswich, who have come from behind to lead Leeds 4-1. Smith headed home Stephen Hunt's cross following a corner. Leaders Derby still boast a three-goal cushion against struggling Brighton, while third-placed Middlesbrough have yet to add to their four first-half goals at Millwall.

    Huge news at the bottom of the Championship where Blackpool, who have not won since 3 October, have taken a 56th minute lead through Steve Davies at home to Birmingham.

  7. CLOSE!published at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    So close to a Burnley leveller. George Boyd's low strike flashes across goal and is turned wide by Richard Dunne with Danny Ings waiting to prod home at the far post. Inches away.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 6 December 2014

    Arsenal go so close to pulling a goal back as Alexis Sanchez embarks on a superb run from halfway, brushing off defenders before rounding Asmir Begovic but somehow compounds to shoot against the post.

    Do you get the sense this is not meant to be Arsenal's day?

    "Connor Wickham was under a little bit of pressure from the Liverpool defender but that was the best chance of the game (see 16:11). Running in on his left foot on the angle, he fired across the goal. Sunderland have this scenario weighed up. They are not rushing to take the throw-ins and corners, and are adding more and more tension onto Liverpool and their supporters."

    Tottenham are still struggling at White Hart Lane. They can't cope with Palace's pace and skill down the flanks with Wilfried Zaha and Yannick Bolasie tormenting their full backs.

    Sone Aluko is the latest to show a bit more positivity in attack for Hull, but his surging run towards the penalty area finishes limply as he skews a right-foot shot well wide of goal.

    A bit of a lucky escape for Arsenal as Emiliano Martinez palms an effort straight to the feet of Geoff Cameron, who can't react quickly enough and the ball bounces off his feet and wide.

    Best chance of the game as Connor Wickham flashes a left-footed volley wide. Liverpool have to step up here.

    It isn't the prettiest of goals but the home side won't care. Charlie Austin does brilliantly, combining with Bobby Zamora before slipping the ball inside to Leroy Fer. The midfielder's scuffed effort deflects off Ben Mee and loops into the net. Potentially a big goal at the bottom of the Premier League.

    "At half-time, Brendan Rodgers will have tried to put more spark into his team. I was expecting something a little bit different from Liverpool in the early stages of this second half, and for them to start pushing Sunderland back. They started well, but both teams are still lacking any real guile in the final third."

    "You've got to give credit to Stoke, I watched them in midweek at Manchester United, their fans must have been wondering how they lost that game - David de Gea was forced to make a lot of saves late on.

    "Stoke give it their all against whatever team they play against, and Mark Hughes has got them playing good football as well."

    The FA Cup

    Over in the FA Cup second round there have not been many goals, or much sign of an upset, so far.

    Yeovil, Tranmere and Preston all find themselves a goal up at half-time, while Cambridge versus Mansfield (currently 1-1) is the only tie in which both teams have found the net.

    Games at Bury, MK Dons, Oldham and Sheffield United remain goalless.

    A quick reminder you can see highlights from all of today's ties on our FA Cup pages from 17:15 (GMT).

    A bit of pushing and shoving in the Burnley area as they wait for a QPR corner. When the kick does come in, Mauricio Isla volleys wildly over for the hosts.

    Abel Hernandez tries to get Hull going as the second half starts at the KC Stadium. He turns on the edge of the area, but his left-foot shot rolls a long way wide of Ben Foster's goal.
