It appears the rain in Spain falls mainly at Eibar - judging by the pitch on which the Basque club are playing Atletico Madrid.

Atletico don't seem too bothered by a mudbath of a surface, though, as they lead 1-0 thanks to an early goal from France international Antoine Griezmann.

Some more bad news for West Ham fans as boss Sam Allardyce reveals their move for Darren Fletcher is off. More on that when we have it.

As if a 2-0 defeat at Liverpool isn't bad enough.

A couple of late goals from Sheffield United to give them a 2-0 lead over Swindon Town. The Robins were top going into the day but, a defeat sees them drop behind new leaders MK Dons and Bristol City - who aren't in action until tomorrow. Just seconds to play at Bramall Lane.

Everton boss Roberto Martinez:

"It's a terrific feeling. When you come to Selhurst Park you need to be at your very best to keep a clean sheet.

"The performance was just what was needed. It's a great feeling for the players. I hope that today can be a real kick-start in our season.

"We created the best chances of the game. I thought we defended extremely well, it wasn't a fortunate win.

"I thought Romelu [Lukaku] was quite infectious in the way he worked hard for the team. He gave everything."

La Liga leaders Real Madrid have done their job by beating David Moyes' Real Sociedad 4-1. They can now sit back and see if defending champions and third-placed Atletico Madrid are able to win at Eibar to close within four points.

A terrible weekend for the bottom four in the Premier League as they all crash to defeats.

Chief football writer Phil McNulty at Stamford Bridge

"The world will be watching Stamford Bridge today. There are 26 television crews and commentary teams from around the globe here at Chelsea, eclipsing the Premier League record of 19 when Manchester City played Manchester United back in 2012."

Wayne Andrews: Harry Kane is obviously in superb form. One sure way to ruin it would be getting picked for England…

Lfcway: One chance, one goal. Where would Liverpool be if Daniel Sturridge was fit all season?

Stacy Phillips: And that's an 'unsharp' Sturridge. What a finish. He's back to his dancing ways already.

James Arlett: Loving the irony. West Ham came out to play rough and ended up with three injuries!

Muasya Musyimi: West Ham are slowly dropping down the league! Soon, chants of "Allardyce Out" will start filling the air, especially in Upton Park.

Eamonn Driscoll: Kevin Nolan can't handle the pace at this level. Our stats with him playing versus not playing say it all.

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge: "It's a team game and I am happy the team won. It's just good to be back. As I said, it is about the team's performances and us winning games. I have been watching on the sidelines and the lads have been playing really well but sometimes the results have not been going their way, but we have been working hard doing what the manger wants us to do."

Daniel Sturridge is back for Liverpool and scoring - can they still get top four? They're only four points off and Robbie Savage thinks it's possible.

Eleven away games and eleven defeats for QPR. How much pressure is Harry Redknapp under?

Is Steve Bruce another manager under pressure? They've failed to score in ten of their last fourteen games and gave John Carver his first win as Newcastle manager today.

And Harry Kane has scored twenty goals in all competitions this season, more than any other player - is there a more important player for their team right now?

Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe talking to Match of the Day:

"It was important that we got the win today. It was a massive win. We created a lot of chances today, the fans were fantastic. The energy from start to finish was fantastic today. We managed to get the early goal which helped us, settled us down.

It's always difficult to be honest when you've had a long break. But I've had a mini-pre-season and I'm getting sharper and sharper.

The Premier League is the best in the world and that's where you want to be. I feel like I have a lot of goals left in me.

Chief football writer Phil McNulty at Stamford Bridge

"The Premier League game of the season so far - and Chelsea will feel they would take a giant stride towards the title if they get the win that would give them an eight-point lead over Manchester City.

"Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has opted for Loic Remy instead of Didier Drogba in attack in place of suspected leading scorer Diego Costa, who is serving a three-match ban for stamping on Liverpool's Emre Can in the Capital One Cup semi-final in midweek.

"Some surprise at the Manchester City line-up, which sees Bacary Sagna start and Pablo Zabaleta on the bench."

John from Isle of Wight: Is this turning into one of the best Premier League seasons ever? The top seven teams are all beginning to produce real quality football.

Neilio: Yes! Sturridge is definitely back! Two big games next, but the future's looking good.

Marlo in London: Man Utd beating Leicester. The most expensive team in Premier League history beating the bottom club at home? When's the open top parade?

Simon: Daniel Sturridge plays for seven minutes and gets a goal while Mario Balotelli has nothing since the season began.

Mickey Somiah: Now people will give Brendan Rodgers a break. Had we not been robbed of Sturridge who knows? Great finish.

Steevy Gee Sings: Seeing Sturridge back on the pitch is like seeing your child fly the nest for the first time - you wanna bubble wrap them up!

Everton's free-kick deep in their own half. That should be that.

Still time for Crystal Palace? Into the last few seconds.

"Manchester United were the better team by a good distance, but it wasn't the kind of performance to get you into the top two. It was enough though, and now they can look forward to the cup game in midweek."

Alan Green
BBC Match of the Day commentator at The Hawthorns

"The win was never really in doubt, despite the fact that Higo Lloris had to make a few brilliant saves."
