United are rewarded for a quick start to the second half. Wayne Rooney's clever ball plays Antonio Valencia in on the right, he pulls the ball back and half-time substitute Marouane Fellaini fires home.

Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao has done very, very little but he should be celebrating the opener. The Colombian is unmarked as Angel Di Maria swings in a cross from the right but his header is brilliantly parried away by goalkeeper Rob Green. Good save but a striker of Falcao's quality has to score.

United are going for it now as they bring on striker James Wilson for defender Jonny Evans...

There has not been much to shout about in this half but Tottenham have half a chance when Christian Eriksen's shot bounces just wide. Relief for Costel Pantilimon, who was nowhere near it.

Nothing malicious but as Carlos Sanchez goes to clear the ball, his follow through sees his boot smack Raheem Sterling in the face. The Liverpool man is receiving treatment but will be OK to continue.

Second-placed Bristol City might be leading 1-0 at Scunthorpe, thanks to Jay Emmanuel-Thomas' first-half goal, but Scunthorpe have defender Andrew Boyce between the posts after goalkeeper Sam Slocombe was injured after 10 minutes and his replacement James Severn went off 30 minutes later.

League leaders Swindon Town are 3-1 up at Chesterfield, while Gozie Ugwu has given League One's bottom side Yeovil Town a 1-0 lead against Bradford City. Gary Johnson's side have won just five games all season and one of those was in the reverse fixture against today's visitors.

Liverpool almost double the lead. Martin Skrtel nods down a corner from the left, Fabio Borini completely misses the ball in front of goal, but Brad Guzan has to dive full stretch to tip the initial header onto the post. Borini should be celebrating his second.

You'd think Jose Mourinho would opt to rest some legs with this game effectively in the bag, but not yet. He still has his starting XI out there and they are still firmly in control. Pass, pass, pass. Swansea cannot get near the ball.

Stoke are straight on the attack as they hunt this game's first goal and Victor Moses feeds a fine pass through defence for Marko Arnautovic, who hits the side netting with a shot from a tight angle.

Burnley have thrown away a two-goal lead for a second time in a week and that is all too easy. Jason Puncheon picks up the ball outside the penalty area and drills a low shot into the corner.

Changes at Loftus Road as midfielder Marouane Fellaini replaces Juan Mata for Manchester United and Steven Caulker comes on for Richard Dunne in the heart of QPR's defence.

Tom, London: Garry Monk has shown his tactical naivety today. The only way to stop Chelsea is by packing the midfield. Playing 4-4-2 with Carroll and Sigurdsson as the two in the middle was just asking for a hammering.

Josh: Chelsea are demonstrating the perfect high press today. While these chances are self-inflicted, they aren't unforced errors.

Narek, Bromley: How can a team have Wayne Rooney, Radamel Falcao, Angel Di Maria and Juan Mata and create almost no chances against a very weak QPR side. Puzzling!

...and we are back under way in the Premier League.

No change in terms of position for the top five sides at the moment. Chelsea look certain to hand Manchester City a five-point deficit to chase down as they are absolutely cruising at 4-0 up at Swansea.

Players are coming back out for the second halves of the Premier League games. Let's see what the next 45 minutes have in store...

England boss Roy Hodgson is in attendance at Loftus Road today. He will have been impressed by what he has seen from Rangers striker Charlie Austin. The 13-goal man has twice forced excellent stops from United keeper David De Gea and has held the ball up well.

Meanwhile, in the week it was revealed Hodgson voted for Javier Mascherano to win the Ballon d'Or, Rangers midfielder Karl Henry has done well in the middle of the park...

It looks like being the perfect Carrow Road debut for new Norwich manager Alex Neil with Cameron Jerome firing home just before the break to give the Canaries a comfortable 3-0 lead against Cardiff.

Meanwhile, Championship leaders Bournemouth also took the lead on the stroke of half-time with Tommy Elphick heading in from a free-kick to make it 1-0 at Rotherham, who they beat 5-1 in the FA Cup a fortnight ago.

However, things aren't looking so good for Millwall manager Ian Holloway, who received a vote of confidence before kick-off, as his side are 2-0 down at home to promotion-chasing Ipswich, with Noel Hunt scoring both goals.

"I think Danny Mills might be looking forward to 606 after that Forest win... Few calls from the Nottingham area methinks."

Speaking on Friday, former England defender Mills said Nottingham Forest manager Stuart Pearce was "not a great coach, he's not a great tactician, he's not a great motivator and he struggles with big players who question his authority".

You can listen to 606 on BBC Radio 5 live from 18:06 GMT this evening.

Final Score

The Danny Mills v Stuart Pearce verbals continued on Final Score earlier, with presenter Jason Mohammad presenting Mills with some post-match Pearce quotes:

Mills: "I played under Stuart Pearce, remember. Last night on 5 live I said tactically and motivationally I do not think he's good. When I played for him he put goalkeepers up front, pre-meditated decisions. He put David James up front, and he did it again at the England under-21s."

Mohammad: "A reporter at Derby put your criticism to Stuart Pearce who responded: 'I do apologise for putting Micah Richards in Danny Mills' place at Manchester City'."

Mills: "I was coming back from a broken leg at the time. He asked me to play, and I said I wasn't fit, wasn't ready. He then told me I would never play for the club again. I stand by my comments, absolutely."

Over to you, Stuart...

"Chelsea have been frightening, and Swansea have just not had the answers. The home side are nowhere near to where they can play. Garry Monk will learn so much about his players in this next 45 minutes in terms of their commitment and professionalism. It has been a bad day at the office, but they need to put it to one side. They need to show some character and give the crowd something positive to take home, but that is so hard to do when you are already 4-0 down."

Richard: That. Was. Dross. Switch to a different formation. Any formation. Just change, United.

Tom Smith: Phil Jones taking corners and Di Maria up top? What is Van Gaal playing at?

PB: LVG's latest Phil-osophy, Jones taking corners, is a tad mind-boggling...

"First half-ending with the faint whiff of revolt from Manchester United's fans here at Loftus Road as they chant "4-4-2" and "Attack, Attack, Attack." It seems 3-5-2 is Louis van Gaal's order of the day but it is creating nothing - incredible given that his side contains Wayne Rooney, Radamel Falcao and £59.7m Angel di Maria. QPR will be happy with that first half - and even happier if they can find a way past David de Gea."
