Liverpool might as well give up on getting a second as Jordan Henderson bursts into the box but his cross hits a defender before Mario Balotelli also gives the ball away. Meandering to a 1-0 away win now.

"There's been a lot of attention on whether things aren't right inside the Everton dressing room, but you don't fight until the last minute like they did against West Ham in the FA Cup if you have poor team spirit."

Weather conditions here at Goodison Park no different to the rest of the country - and Everton have just confirmed the game will start at 3pm as planned after some minor repair work was carried out at the ground caused by the high winds, causing the gates to be opened 15 minutes late.

Everton ended a run of four defeats - all in the Premier League - when Romelu Lukaku's injury-time goal earned them an FA Cup third round replay against West Ham United but this will be a tough test for an out-of-sorts side against reigning Premier League champions Manchester City.

City, level on everything with Chelsea at the top of the table, and are without Yaya Toure, who is away at the Africa Cup of Nations. Fernando replaces Toure while Joe Hart is back for Willy Caballero in goal. And another boost is Sergio Aguero being named on the bench, along with Frank Lampard.

"I think Sunderland will be involved in a relegation fight for the rest of the season unless they show more than this. I think they have too much in their squad to go down, but they need start getting some results at home. Certainly they will be looking anxiously looking at the results of the teams in and around them later on today."

Leicester City goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer is only on the substitutes bench after his signing from Chelsea this week. Boss Nigel Pearson makes five changes from their last Premier League game, a 2-2 draw with Liverpool, with Leonardo Ulloa, David Nugent, Paul Konchesky, Marc Albrighton and Anthony Knockaert starting.

Aston Villa make three changes from the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace last time out in the Premier League. Joe Cole comes in for Andreas Weimann, while Ciaran Clark and Ashley Westwood also start.

Leicester XI: Hamer, Simpson, Wasilewski, Morgan, Konchesky, James, Hammond, Albrighton, Nugent, Knockaert, Ulloa.

Aston Villa XI: Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Cleverley, Cole, Westwood, Sanchez, Benteke, Agbonlahor.

"Mario Balotelli did really well, with the whole pitch in front of him to run at goal only to lose his footing. I shouldn't laugh, but it's hard not to."

That little rattle you just heard is Sunderland manager Gus Poyet having his final roll of the dice. 20-year-old French striker Mikael Mandron is on. Many of the crowd are off.

Smiles all round the Stadium of Light as Mario Balotelli slips while bearing down on goal. Only Mario.

A decent block from Martin Skrtel stops Danny Graham's snapshot at source. Nervy times now.

Jordan Henderson clips a free-kick over the bar from 25 yards out. Steven Gerrard, sat on the bench, can barely look.

Into the final 10 minutes now. How are Sunderland still in this?

There will be no Sam Allardyce on the touchline for West Ham today, with the Hammers boss struggling with a chest infection, so his assistant Neil McDonald is the man in charge. He looks delighted about that...

"On comes Danny Graham with a beard so thick he looks like he's spent the last few months stranded on a desert island."

Danny Graham is making his first Sunderland appearance since September. I always see it as a sign of a manager running out of ideas when he brings players he obviously doesn't rate back in from the cold.

Sunderland make a double change, sending on Will Buckley and Danny Graham for Emanuele Giaccherini and Connor Wickham. Danny who?!

Swansea boss Garry Monk makes eight changes to the side that beat Tranmere 6-2 in the FA Cup last weekend. Wilfired Bony is away on international duty, so Bafetimbi Gomis gets the chance to make his mark in attack.

West Ham are without Alex Song, who misses out because of illness. Hammers striker Diafra Sakho is ruled out with the back injury so Enner Valencia starts, while Kevin Nolan is also in the first XI with Morgan Amalfitano on the bench.

Swansea XI: Fabianski, Rangel, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor, Britton, Carroll, Dyer, Sigurdsson, Routledge, Gomis.

West Ham XI: Adrian, Jenkinson, Tomkins, Reid, Collins, Cresswell, Noble, Nolan, Downing, Carroll, Valencia

Heading into the final 15 minutes and Sunderland win a corner which is lumped in by Seb Larsson and Simon Mignolet just about smothers the ball six yards out as John O'Shea, turning slower than a HGV, prepared to pounce.

Nathan Bright:, external If only Liverpool had someone who wasn't on holiday with real pace to stretch Sunderland now they're down to 10 men.....
