Very, very 0-0.

Wayne Rooney makes no secret of what he is attempting - setting his body with the clear intention of curling one into the top corner from 20-odd yards.

The Manchester United striker needs to re-check his coordinates though. He is a foot high and wide either way.

Daniel in Darlington: Villa seem to have developed a habit of playing boring, passionless football this season. I feel this game has the potential to go either way.

Manchester City have lost their mojo after a promising first five minutes. Despite having 71% of possession they are yet to register a shot on target with half-time looming.

Villa finally beginning to look dangerous, mildly perilous anyway. Alan Hutton is on the end of a slick move but his well-hit shot is well charged down. Moments later Christian Benteke shoots wide.

So far, so good from Yeovil, who have been penned back but remain unbroken by the waves of Manchester United attacks.

All Southampton at St Mary's. Ryan Bertrand is the latest to go close for the hosts.

First bit of quality from Stoke City. Lovely run down the left channel from Oussama Assaidi, who beats two men and flashes in a shot but it's brilliantly blocked by Manny Smith.

The corner is half cleared, Phil Bardsley rifles in a cracker of a drive but it hits his own team-mate in the six-yard box. Much better from the Potters.

Eliaquim Mangala and Dedryck Boyata are struggling to deal with the physicality of Atdhe Nuhiu in Sheffield Wednesday's attack.

The Austrian almost lays the ball into the path of a team-mate but Fernando is across like lightning to slide in and snuff out the shooting chance.

Mike in Hull: I have been a Sheffield Wednesday fan nearly 28 years and the League Cup drubbing by City made me really think about how we would ever be able to cope with their firepower a second time around. Things seemed to have settled recently and I just hope the players believe in themselves enough."

So far so good, Mike.

Ipswich come close to retaking the lead, but David McGoldrick is a little over-eager as he attempts to convert from Daryl Murphy's cute throughball, clumping over the bar.

Blackpool have a corner! That is a first-half highlight, trust me. Nothing comes from it though. Can we make 22 subs at half-time?

"This is the start Yeovil boss Gary Johnson wanted. We're only in the opening minutes but Yeovil have been really positive. They've got some big powerful players and if they can deliver the right crosses then they could cause United problems."

Yeovil are giving Manchester United a physical battle in these early stages with their attacks aimed at the lanky figure of striker Kieffer Moore. He tussles with David de Gea for a cross, but the Spanish keeper wins that battle, before Joe Edwards drag a shot wide from distance. Good start by the hosts.

Former QPR and Manchester City winger Trevor Sinclair: "Poor defending but you can see the way Southampton are now beginning to zip the ball around with real pace. It is going to be really hard now for Ipswich."

"They don't like it up 'em!" I'm not saying that Stuart Gray channelled Corporal Jones for his team-talk but Sheffield Wednesday aren't shy of a tackle.

Yaya Toure is the latest to be caught, knobbled by Glenn Loovens. No yellows as yet.

Oh dear. Ipswich's hard work goes to waste as a mix-up between goalkeeper Dean Gerken and defender Christophe Berra allows Morgan Schneiderlin to nip in and level for Saints.

Wrexham think they are in on the counter-attack but they are stopped in their tracks by a pesky offside flag. The Conference side continue to compete with Stoke, who are operating in second or third gear so far.
