Fifteen minutes remain. You can pay out on Newcastle already though.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: "It was a big opportunity to get two more points. Everybody would think the game was over but I always say it is never over until the last minute. Burnley's first goal was a mistake of the referee.

"The pitch was very heavy. Two games in 48 hours but we were winning 2-0. Once it was 2-2 we didn't have the legs to score. We only had two shots after that. In the first half Burnley didn't have any clear chances. We didn't play well in the second half.

"We have 43 points, we have the second half of the season to decide who is the best team. We were at home. That is an advantage but Chelsea and Manchester United also drew. We will see whether Yaya (Toure) or Vincent (Kompany) will be fit for the next game."

Both managers make a change.

Everton's final roll of the dice is to take off Arouna Kone for top-scorer Romelu Lukaku.

Newcastle also make a switch up front with Papiss Cisse off and Emmanuel Riviere on.

James in London: Non-league team of the day has to go to Bristol Rovers - 2nd vs 3rd in the Conference and they go and run out 4-0 winners against Macclesfield. Stellar performance!

Nick from Burnley: Of course Burnley can stay up, they just need to get a good home run going and pick up points away! Leicester, Crystal Palace and West Brom to go down.

Dave, Devon: So refreshing to see the results just a bit more unpredictable this season. Good to see that big money doesn't always guarantee success! Also amusing to see fans of such clubs getting upset and indignant over the results!

Everton are getting repeatedly caught on the counter.

Antolin Alcarez picks up a booking as he tries to bring a swift Newcastle raid to a close by clattering into Moussa Sissoko.

He doesn't even manage to do that. Craig Pawson plays advantage after the foul, allowing Papiss Cisse to warm Joel Robles' palms, before pulling play back and pulling out the yellow card.

David Ljunggren: What luck for Newcastle that we are finally playing a team that's worse than us. Everton have been just shocking this half.

Stavros Makrozachopo: Something's very wrong with Everton and the worrying thing is, that you don't know what exactly is the problem.

Raoul Bery: Let me guess, Alan Pardew is the man again.

"Roberto Martinez will be bemoaning the fact that the goals are coming from mistakes by his players but Newcastle are chasing everything down and on on slippy surfaces likes this mistakes will happen. Colback nipped in and finished it and it's going to be very hard for Everton now."

Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "It was a struggle for both teams to go again in the short space of time. It affected us in the first half as we were off the pace. The second half we had more energy in our play and we were more on the front foot and we got the first goal, which was crucial today.

"We are a team that can consistently be in the top half if we all do our jobs, and we want to stay there for the rest of the season.

"After a good performance and great result against Everton it was important we came here and got the job done.

"We are happy with our points tally, but if we look back at games here when we slipped up, maybe we could have been a bit higher."

Lights out and good night? It may well be.

Newcastle have a two-goal cushion and there is another rick from an Everton player to help them to it.

Ross Barkley should cut out Daryl Janmaat's straightforward pass, but the ball slips over his foot and on to Jack Colback who slips the ball under Joel Robles with the outside of his foot to score his first Newcastle goal.

Better from Everton who are building with purpose down the left through Leighton Baines.

The England international is again the supplier - his low cross is stabbed just wide by a stretching Arouna Kone.

West Brom manager Alan Irvine speaking about his future: "Obviously it is up to other people. All I can do is keep working as we do and we will see what happens.

"My immediate future is that I will be working on West Ham tomorrow. It's a big game and we need to get a good result.

"We have good players in the dressing room and obviously I'm employed to work with those players and I'm happy to do that."

West Brom manager Alan Irvine: "We conceded two deflected goals. When you are not getting the breaks a lot of things go against you. We created chances in the first half, we hit the post at 1-0 and we perhaps had a chance to score before they scored.

"But as you say, when your luck is out, your luck's out. We had enough chances but we didn't hit the target often enough. The nature and timing of the goals made it difficult for us.

"Without making mistakes we have ended up with a couple of cruel deflections that have made it difficult for Ben [Foster]. In the first-half the fans saw the players had performed well and we had been on the front foot, but obviously the second half was different."

Samuel Eto'o didn't have to score, but he had to do better than that.

The Cameroon legend is served up a chance on a platter by a perfect pull-back from Leighton Baines. No defenders around him, only a slight angle and just 12 yards from goal, but Eto'o blazes his shot towards the second tier to jeers from the home fans.

Roberto Martinez does indeed decide to change things up.

Kevin Mirallas is on in place of Aiden McGeady.

Mike Lawson: I hate being negative about my club's own players. But Aiden McGeady has absolutely no place at Everton. Rarely competent.

Cliff B: Besides his goal against Villa, McGeady has been so out of depth in the EPL it baffles me how Martinez wanted him so badly .

Jeremiah Kariuki: Everton turning to be the new whipping boys of PL! What has gone wrong with the Toffees, a team that was 5th last season?

If Everton lose this one, they will have taken just four points from the last 21 available.

Roberto Martinez has half an hour to ensure that statistic does not come to pass.

Romelu Lukaku and Kevin Mirallas are his likeliest options off the bench.

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce was annoyed that his side had a goal disallowed when the score was goalless. Former Arsenal man Alex Song almost made an instant impact with a low volley into the bottom corner of the net from 20 yards. However, Diafra Sakho was penalised for standing in an offside position in front of goal, despite not touching the ball.

"The biggest shock was us not being in front at half time," said Allardyce. "We scored a perfectly good goal that was disallowed. It certainly should not have been disallowed on the basis of what Mike Riley and his staff tell us. The officials clearly got it horribly wrong and to say we are bitterly disappointed and frustrated is an understatement. Baffled is more the feeling.

"They said the attacker was in the eye line of the goalkeeper. Complete nonsense. When officials make these decisions they are supposed to have a clear view. It is impossible for the assistant referee to say that. They are wrong, Sakho is not in the eye line of the goalkeeper.

"Neil Swarbrick could only guess he might be in front of the goalkeeper."

Everton don't look well set up to chase this game.

The Toffees press forward, but, with James McCarthy subbed off, lack cover in midfield when they lose the ball.

Newcastle break threateningly again and a promising two-on-two situation breaks down through a heavy touch from Papiss Cisse.
