Interesting. Very interesting. Simon Mignolet is back in the Liverpool goal, replacing Brad Jones. Injured? Ill? We're not 100% sure.

"What a signing Gylfi Sigurdsson's been in that swap deal with Ben Davies going the other way to Tottenham, but I think Brad Guzan should save that. It's gone to the other side from the wall, but it's not in the top corner."

Liverpool don't know how to deal with Danny Ings! They back away from the striker, who carries the ball to the edge of the box before side-footing a 20-yarder against the base of the post!

Bad news for Everton. John Stones is injured after a challenge with Glenn Whelan. The defender comes back on after receiving treatment but appears to be limping around.

The weather may be miserable but Swansea have reason to cheer as Gylfi Sigurdsson curls a fine free-kick beyond the dive of Brad Guzan. A tad harsh on Villa, who had just started to get into the game.

Yaya Toure steps up and does not mess about - planted low and hard, into the corner. Ain't no stopping them now. City on the move.

Cracking chance for Stoke and they really should score after finding themselves two-on-one. Bojan breaks and is tearing down on goal, he passes to Mame Diouf, who in turns tries to square the ball back to Bojan. Unnecessary. The pass is poor but the ball breaks back to him - however, his subsequent shot is comfortably saved.

Chance gone.

In the Championship, Bournemouth have taken the lead against Fulham through Brett Pitman.

Brighton, under Nathan Jones after Sami Hyypia's resignation, have conceded inside the first minute against Reading. Glenn Murray put the visitors ahead after 39 seconds at the Amex Stadium.

Earlier today Brentford never really recovered after shipping three goals in the opening half hour of their meeting with Ipswich, succumbing 4-2 despite two late goals from Sam Saunders.

League Two leaders Wycombe Wanderers took an early lead at home to Luton with in-form Paris Cowan-Hall scoring his fifth in as many games, but have been pegged back though Jonathan Smith.

Joleon Lescott cuts out a pass - then slides in and catches David Silva. Penalty.

Still rather tentative at Turf Moor, but livewire Danny Ings worries Liverpool with a skidding 20-yarder wide of the corner. Ings has been linked with a big money move next month. You can see shy.

"In the technical area, Newcastle manager Alan Pardew looks like he has got a new pen for Christmas, it's very shiny. I can't see how Newcastle cannot expect not to concede today. They have given so much room to Manchester United early on."

"Ben Foster normally reliable, hasn't come out confidently to catch that and he's dropped it under the pressure of the conditions. One of his big players has let Alan Irvine down there."

Both sides playing with three at the back at Old Trafford in an even game, Wayne Rooney again playing very deep in midfield.

Given the heavy rain over Swansea, sitting at home and filling up on left over turkey might have seemed a preferable option for those who ventured out to the Liberty Stadium today, but the hosts seem keen to reward those who have braved the weather with a strong start against Villa, Jefferson Montero not far off with a header.

He saveth, he taketh away - an instant clanger from Albion keeper Ben Foster hands Manchester City the lead! Foster drops a routine cross after a collision with his own defender, dropping the ball on a plate for Fernando to hook home his first goal for City.

City go close to the opener! Bacary Sagna teases in a low cross, David Silva gets something on it, James Milner arrives behind him but his shot is well saved by the feet of Ben Foster.

Ouch, ouch and ouch again. An accidental collision between Romelu Lukaku and Ryan Shawcross - both players looking at the ball before smashing heads - leads to a lengthy delay at Goodison. Shawcross comes off the worst - treatment is required but the defender is able to continue.

Pretty even start at Turf Moor. Danny Ings bulldozes through the Liverpool defence, to no avail, before Raheem Sterling drags a low shot wide at the other end. Applause all around the ground in the fifth minute for ex-Clarets defender Clarke Carlisle, who is in hospital.

Southampton, buoyed by their win against Everton last time out, are straight on the offensive and the woodwork comes to Crystal Palace's rescue as Toby Alderweireld's looping effort hits the bar. Good start by the visitors.
