Everton can have no complaints as Hull, the better side in this game so far, take the lead. Ahmed Elmohamady ghosts in at the far post to head in Liam Rosenior's cross.

David Silva's seen enough. He decides to try and do the business himself but a goal-bound shot from the edge of the area is beaten clear by Costel Pantilimon.

Cracking play from Adam Lallana as he shifts the ball onto his left foot and bends a shot wide from 20 yards. Lallana scored twice for Liverpool on Monday night and looks in really good touch right now.

Arsenal are a final touch away from a great goal this afternoon. That's the third or fourth time they have moved the ball nicely only to see the final touch take the chance away.

Interesting stuff from Neil Lennon below. But how can you counter-attack if the other side wants to do the same?

On Newcastle's goal (15:24): "Jack Colback's strike never moved. It just never moved. It was like an exocet missile and Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton had no chance."

"Ironically, the best thing Man City could do today is counter-attack - and let Sunderland come at them. Sunderland have been very well drilled and have made it very difficult for Man City to get round the back. If the game opened up a bit more, that might help Man City."

Swansea offer up their first response to Leroy Fer's opener as Nathan Dyer wins possession in the middle of the pitch, strides forward before feeding a pass to Bafetimbi Gomis, who is unmarked on the edge of the area. The striker hits a shot with real venom, but it is wide of the far post. Wilfried Bony watches on from the bench, could he have done better?

West Brom go close again. This time Andre Wisdom pulls the ball back for Stephane Sessegnon who smashes his shot wide from eight yards. He should have hit the target.

Lovely feet from first Alexis Sanchez and then Santi Cazorla tease open a yard of space down the Arsenal right, the ball is pulled back for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to strike - and he puts it into the stands.

Villa's Leandro Bacuna has a dig from a free-kick 35 yards out but the ball nestles on the top of the net. Worth a crack.

Manchester City are temporarily down to 10 men as Pablo Zabaleta goes off for treatment with blood seeping from under a head bandage which is covering a scar. Sunderland have weathered an early City storm.

Both sides are cancelling each other out after a promising start to the match. Villa are in the unfamiliar position of having to take the game to their counter-attacking visitors and they suddenly look like they're lacking a bit of direction.

This is the expansive play that Newcastle fans want to see! The move starts with Fabricio Coloccini lazering a 50-yard pass out wide to Moussa Sissoko, he feeds it back into the middle and Jack Colback catches a left-footer as sweet as you like, smashing it in off the inside of the post. Wonderful goal. Carver and Stone out of their seats.

Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "We were the better team, so that shows how far we have come.

"We're disappointed. We were the team that was most likely to score. We had two penalties not given - the obvious one was Peter Crouch, it was an unnatural movement from Chris Smalling. The referee was only three or four yards away.

"Then when Peter headed against the post, if you look closely, Geoff Cameron was taken out."

On Burnley's goal (15:18): "It was just a long ball forward and Steven Taylor doesn't not deal with it properly and heads it up in the air. Defender Paul Dummett looks to head it back to goalkeeper Jak Alnwick, who had come off his line, and it goes over him."

An early blow for Hull as they are forced into a change, Andrew Robertson having to come off after suffering an injury in a challenge with Muhamed Besic. On comes Liam Rosenior.

"Sunderland need to play a little further forward. Man City aren't really peppering the goal. They've had plenty of possession, but are doing little with it.

"Man City haven't been firing on all cylinders this season. I think Alvaro Negredo's been a big loss to them. It's a big opportunity for Stevan Jovetic to make his mark. I hope he'll get a run in the side if he can stay fit."

Most under-rated keeper in the Premier League? Adrian?

The West Ham stopper makes a flying save to deny Chris Baird's goal-bound volley after good wing-play from Youssouf Mulumbu. Better from the Baggies.

Santi Cazorla has impressed over the festive period and he should now be celebrating a goal at St Mary's.

The Spaniard runs onto a Tomas Rosicky pull-back and from the penalty spot fires at goal, only for Fraser Forster to pull out a good diving save.

Cazorla shouldn't have given him a chance.
