Leicester react well to falling behind and dangerman Riyad Mahrez is again the catalyst, winning a free-kick 25 yards out which he then hits onto the roof of the net via a deflection. He is having a real purple patch.

On Liverpool's goal (15:17): "No, it was not a penalty. Wes Morgan slid out to stop Raheem Sterling, his hand was out but it hit him in the nose. Every time you see decisions like this you think why can't we do something about this - why can't we see a replay? By the time the complaining is over you've got it."

City turning the screw now - Sunderland throwing bodies in the way to block Yaya Toure's shot before David Silva shoots wide. It was good build-up play by Jesus Navas who has got the beating of full-back Billy Jones - the defender on a booking already.

Oh what a goal! Lovely stuff from Leroy Fer as a weak headed clearance falls to him just outside the area, he brings the ball under control and launches a powerful strike beyond Lukasz Fabianski. You don't save those.

"I think Gus Poyet will be pretty pleased with the way things are going. He's come here with a game plan, and his players are sticking to it without doing anything spectacular. Man City have lost their rhythm a bit, and Sunderland are growing into the game."

Manchester City still on top but they have a slight concern with Yaya Toure hobbling after being crunched by Jack Rodwell. It's a proper hobble. Not his usual amble.

A classic own goal! One for the Christmas DVD collection. Burnley score without one of their players touching the ball as Newcastle have a real defensive meltdown.

Burnley lump it long, Steven Taylor heads it up but not away, the ball is dropping inside the penalty area but Paul Dummett hesitates before reaching forward to head over the keeper and into the net. A shocker!

On West Ham's goal (15:10): "It was brilliantly worked move from West Ham, Morgan Amalfitano played in Aaron Cresswell down the left. Diafra Sakho is a great signing, and it was a brilliant finish as it was fizzed into him quickly."

Wes Morgan continues to rage about that penalty call but Steven Gerrard doesn't take any notice, stepping up to slot home into the corner.

West Ham are in full control of the game at the moment and go close to adding a second through Stewart Downing, whose fierce angled shot is well saved by Ben Foster.

Sloppy play from Aston Villa almost lets Palace into this match. Yannick Bolasie nicks the ball in midfield, drives forward and then smashes a rising shot against the bar with Brad Guzan beaten. Good game this.

Oh dear! Raheem Sterling cuts back a cross which strikes Wes Morgan in the face - and a penalty is given for handball. That is a rotten call.

Charlie Austin has his first chance of the game as a bit of pinball in the Swansea area ends with the ball falling to the striker who, with his back to goal, hooks a looping effort goalwards but it is no trouble for Lukasz Fabianski.

Julian Speroni shows the reactions of Spiderman to keep Palace on level terms at Villa Park - the keeper racing from his line and jumping in front of Alan Hutton's close-range shot. Villa are indeed forced into a defensive reshuffle, though, with Ron Vlaar succumbing to injury and being replaced by Ciaran Clark.

It has been an open and entertaining game, with Burnley's front two of Danny Ings and Ashley Barnes keeping Newcastle honest. But if you can't do the basics, you will be in trouble, and the Clarets defence is nowhere as Steven Taylor heads in a corner from five yards out.

Far, far too easy for the Magpies.

Aston Villa are dominating Crystal Palace early on. Although they could have a problem at the back with Ron Vlaar requiring treatment for a knock on his knee. He is not moving well at all.

Meanwhile, in the stands sits Alan Pardew, who Crystal Palace are hoping to name as their new boss soon once his contract is finalised. He almost saw his prospective new side take the lead through a shot from Joe Ledley that Brad Guzan tipped over. It wouldn't have counted, though, as the flag was up.

Great chance for Leicester at the Kop End! Jeff Schlupp leaves Emre Can in his wake down the left wing and pulls over a low cross, it wrongfoots the Liverpool centre-backs and runs nicely for Riyad Mahrez. He is only eight yards out but leans back and slices wide!

Huge opportunity for the strugglers.

"City are going to have to be patient. They'll have to break down a block of 10 men in front of them. We've just seen Yaya Toure have a shot from 25 yards, and it may take something like that to break through.

"There's going to be a lot of this, where City have plenty of the ball in Sunderland's final third."

All pretty even at Hull as the hosts are denied when Joel Robles does well to keep out Abel Hernandez's stinging effort, before Kevin Mirallas blazes over for Everton.

Liverpool coming into the game after that fast start from the Foxes, but the home side are yet to threaten.
