    A near-post header from James Chester and the Tigers find themselves in front after trailing at one point in this game.

    This would be a massive three points for Steve Bruce if his team can hold on.

    Brilliant start to the second half for Southampton and, having looked in danger of conceding a Crystal Palace equaliser towards the end of the first half, they now have a pretty comfortable lead. Toby Alderweireld grabs his first goal for the Saints with a bullet of a header.

    Newcastle stand off Manchester United and are punished again. Wayne Rooney adds an assist to his brace of goals, floating a 45-yard through ball over the top and Robin van Persie heads into the net.

    BBC Final Score

    "Riyad Mahrez cuts inside there and gets the ball across the face of goal. Ulloa manages to get a yard ahead of Fazio to finish off at the near post for Leicester."

    Injury worries for Manchester City as the snow starts to really come down now. Could this game even be at risk? Complete speculation from an uneducated commentator there. But it is really falling down.

    David Silva needs some extensive treatment but he's OK to carry on.

    Leo Ulloa had been Leicester's biggest threat in the first half, but just did not have his finishing boots on. That is not the case at the start of the second half as he cleverly flicks home at the near post from Riyad Mahrez's cross. Game on at a very wet King Power Stadium.

    Genuine snow now at The Hawthorns, settling in David Silva's hair.

    Perfect start to the second half as Southampton double their advantage, Ryan Bertrand curling the ball beyond Julian Speroni.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:03 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2014

    Half-time change for Liverpool, midfielder Emre Can has been introduced for Kolo Toure. A change of system perhaps?

    Anup Kumar:, external Liverpool obviously still waiting for Santa to arrive and give presents instead of taking matters in their own hands

    Abdullahi Ay:, external Burnley's improvement is evident in the way they dominated Liverpool. Favourites to beat the drop

    Milo Thompson:, external Newcastle lose whenever Gouffran plays. When will Pardew see that it's not a coincidence?

  12. KICK-OFFpublished at 16:02 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2014

    Games getting back under way in the top flight - don't forget though that Everton v Stoke has only just gone half-time. A long delay in that one.

  13. Postpublished at 16:01 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2014

    David Moyes in the building! The Real Sociedad boss is at Turf Moor, taking in life back in the Premier League again. Maybe he's scouting a new signing. Michael Duff in La Liga?

    MOTD's Simon Brotherton at the Emirates

    "Arsenal fans have enjoyed the traditional Boxing Day fixtures for years now, having only seen their team beaten once on 26 December under Arsene Wenger.

    "In fact, the Gunners have only lost once on Boxing Day since the formation of the Premier League. Their festive home record has been rock solid in recent years too, winning the last seven in a row, starting with a 3-0 victory over QPR in 1995.

    "They beat West Ham this time last year and Wenger will be hoping it's a Christmas tradition that continues as they begin a run of three games in the space of seven days."

    Everton sub keeper Joel Robles is a lone man warming up in the rain. Is that Tim Howard done?

  16. Postpublished at 15:56 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2014

    A cracking half of football all round then. Eleven first-half goals, injuries, illness, bad tackles, brilliant play and shocking misses.

  17. Football League updatepublished at 15:56 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2014

    Half-time whistles blowing around the country and in the Championship Bournemouth are keeping up their chase for an automatic promotion place.

    The Cherries lead Fulham at the Goldsands Stadium through Brett Pitman's strike.

    Below them, Derby are 2-0 up and cruising against Birmingham thanks to goals from Jordan Ibe and Chris Martin.

    At the top of League One, Bristol City, MK Dons and Preston are all 1-0 up against Yeovil, Notts County and Barnsley respectively, but Swindon are losing ground on the rest. They are currently being held 1-1 away to Walsall.

    In League Two, Shrewsbury are moving top as it stands. They lead 2-0 away to Oxford while fellow promotion chasers Wycombe head to the dressing rooms level at 1-1 at home to Luton.

  18. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:55 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2014

    Yet another injury scare for Everton as Tim Howard is helped from the pitch with what looks like a locked knee.

    There'll be running repairs on Jagielka, Stones, Howard and Barkley during the interval and I'd be surprised if they all re-appeared for the second half.

  19. CLOSE!published at 15:54 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2014

    Got to score! Oh no. Steven Naismith deliciously picks out Kevin Mirallas with a sweeping pass. The Belgian has space and time but is wasteful, his effort going the wrong side of the post.

    A fairly even half at Turf Moor, possession wise, but Burnley had 10 attempts on goal to Liverpool's four. If Liverpool did turn the corner against Arsenal, they're back on the ring road now.
