Leicester have a chance as Phil Jones sells David De Gea short with a backpass and David Nugent nips in. De Gea, not for the first time this season, stands his ground expertly to limit Nugent's options and the striker's shot is blocked by the United keeper.

Play-off hopefuls Plymouth Argyle are behind again at last-placed Hartlepool thanks to Jonathan Franks' second goal of the game and the hosts could move within six points of safety by the end of the day.

Meanwhile, Phil Edwards has given Burton a 1-0 lead against Bury as Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's side, who have not lost at home this season, look set to go top of the league.

"The penalty scored by Harry Kane (16:21) was awarded because the ball hit Joleon Lescott's arm. Lescott's arm has to come up to counter-balance him, and I feel it's unfortunate, but it depends on what camp you are in on that one. Tottenham are looking strong at the back though. They've got a League Cup final to look forward to and there is a good feeling there."

There'll be no Danny Ings goal today as he is taken off by Burnley boss Sean Dyche, Lukas Jutkiewicz replaces him but it is Sunderland who go close to adding a third as Connor Wickham drives a rasping effort over the bar.

More claret spilled at the Palace as Scott Dann is now left with a cut above the eye after a clash of heads with Everton goalscorer Romelu Lukaku. As treatment continues, Wilfried Zaha is brought on for Martin Kelly.

QPR are pushing for an equaliser at Stoke but are struggling to create anything of note.

If they lose today, they will have made the worst away start in the top flight since 1953-54 when Liverpool lost their first 13 away games.

Looking on the bright side, Harry Redknapp's side have got a way to go to break Manchester United's top-flight record: United lost their first 16 away games of the 1930-31 season, when they finished bottom of the table.

There is a huge Anfield roar as Daniel Sturridge replaces Lazar Markovic. How he would love to mark his return with a goal. It has been a long five months for Liverpool fans - and for the player.

Promotion chasing Preston North End could yet avoid a shock at last-placed Crawley Town, who have gone 14 matches without a win, as Paul Huntington has headed the visitors level.

Swindon are still being held 0-0 at Sheffield United and will be leapfrogged at the top of the table by MK Dons, who lead 3-0 against Crewe.

Real Madrid have extended their advantage over Real Sociedad with Karim Benzema making it 3-1 against David Moyes' side, whose first-minute lead seems a long time ago.

Here comes Daniel Sturridge. The Liverpool substitute has his tracksuit bottoms off and his arrival looks imminent. Remember, he last played for the Reds on 31 August.

My word is Harry Kane brimming with confidence, it oozes through in his penalty kick as he strokes the ball into the far corner, giving the West Brom keeper no chance.

Better from Palace as Jason Puncheon's cross just evades on-loan striker Yaya Sonogo, who had got ahead of Phil Jagielka. The home team are beginning to build some momentum. They have come from behind to win in three of Alan Pardew's four games in charge. Can they do so again?

Time for Carlton. Cole replaces Andy Carroll up front for the Hammers, after the ex-Liverpool man injures himself in fouling Emre Can.

Enner Valencia goes close for the visitors with a low strike form an angle that is easy for goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.

Penalty to Tottenham as a Kyle Walker cross hits the raised hand of Joleon Lescott...

Leicester break through Leonardo Ulloa after a Manchester United attack breaks down. Ulloa charges into the area, he has Marcos Rojo for company and falls in the area with the United man in close attention. Ulloa screams for a penalty, nothing given and he smacks the ground in frustration.

Andy Carroll is cautioned for a late challenge on Emre Can. It looked more like a slip than anything malicious but the striker has been totting up the fouls against.

Title-chasing Derby look comfortable against a Cardiff side that are slipping towards the drop zone. Steve McClaren's side lead 2-0 - thanks to an own goal from Scott Malone and strike from top-scorer Chris Martin - and are currently on course for a seventh win in eight games to move level on points with league leaders Bournemouth.

Meanwhile, Reading, who have put 11 goals past Sheffield Wednesday in their last three meetings at the Madejski Stadium, are leading the Owls 2-0 - Pavel Pogrebnyak and Nathaniel Chalobah with the goals.

Quite a contrast to the start of the first half with little happening at Selhurst Park. Gareth Barry is trying to shake off a knock but Everton appear comfortable in the early stages of the second period, with Joel Robles easily catching a Joe Ledley free-kick.

Eduardo Vargas's acrobatic scissor kick from the edge of the penalty area is parried away by goalkeeper Asmir Begovic. Still plenty of life in this game.

Ashley Barnes is at the centre of Burnley's best chances and he twice has efforts on goal, first heading into the hands of Costel Pantilimon before dragging a shot just wide. The Clarets need Danny Ings in this, but he has been pretty anonymous so far. Cue an Ings goal in 3,2,1....
