Some reaction from the early kick-off where Hull's relegation worries deepened with a hammering at the hands of Newcastle.

Newcastle manager John Carver:

"It was very emotional at the end when I went over to fans. Not so long ago i was one of them and now I am in charge of this club.

"It was a good away performance and there was not great deal between both side. I can take the pressure and deal with it and let the players go and express themselves.

"Bobby Robson told me - if ever you get the opportunity don't be afraid of it and take it with both hands."

Chief football writer Phil McNulty at Stamford Bridge

No "welcome back" from Jose Mourinho for Frank Lampard as he returns to Chelsea with Manchester City today. Some very short and sweet programme notes end with a rather emotional: "I love this game, I love these players and I love this club. Come on Chelsea!"

John Terry does not forget his old team-mate, however, saying: "Welcome back to Frank Lampard today, a Chelsea legend and a huge part of our history. In terms of consistency him, Petr (Cech), Dids (Drogba) are up there as the best I've played with at this club - he was brilliant for us, year after year, over the 13 seasons he had at Chelsea."

MK Dons beat Crewe 6-1 earlier this season and a repeat could be on the cards as they now lead 3-0 at Gresty Road - thanks to two goals from Devante Cole and one from Dean Bowditch - and currently sit top of the league on goal difference with Swindon being held 0-0 at Sheffield United.

Meanwhile, last-placed Crawley Town, who have gone 14 matches without a win, have taken the lead against promotion-chasing Preston North End thanks to Anthony Wordsworth's right-footed strike. they would move off the foot of the table as it stands.

Wayne Alex King: The more I watch Liverpool the more I miss last season...

Gary Clark: 3-0 to Manchester United, but Leicester may score five again yet!

Lucian Popusoi: He threw an elbow in that first half, did Andy Carroll. Imagine if it was Costa doing that - the pundits would have had a field day. Be fair.

Jordan Mundy-Gill: I love Christian Eriksen. Always had potential but fast becoming one of the best players in the league.

Sarah Morgan: Think Emre Can will soon be asking to play in suit of armour after being stamped on/elbowed in consecutive games! (see 15:05)

Jay: Louis van Gaal has lost the plot. Playing 4-4-2? Phil Jones not taking corners? Angel Di Maria not playing up top? What's happening?

Crystal Palace have pushed for the equaliser and will consider themselves a little unfortunate to be behind.

"Niko Kranjcar's goal's gives QPR hope in the second half. Will their terrible away run end in this match?"

Niko Kranjcar's goal has given QPR a lifeline with their only meaningful effort of the first half.

"Manchester United almost didn't have to break sweat. Leicester never came out, and although United tailed off for a 20-minute period or so, eventually the amount of possession the home side had paid more dividends than expected. I cannot see any way back for Leicester right now."

"Highly satisfactory first half for Tottenham, with three attempts on goal but two going in the net. They have also had to thank goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who has been outstanding. Spurs are in charge for the moment."

Half-chance for Palace debutant Jordon Mutch but he skies his shot with five minutes of stoppage time to be played after Chamakh's earlier injury.

"Sunderland now have to keep the ball. They have to have a calmness to make sure Burnley don't get back into it. These are difficult times and it is really important they keep going at the Burnley defence. They don't want nervousness to become a factor."

Half a chance for Burnley as Ashley Barnes has sight of goal, tries his luck but it is easy pickings for Costel Pantilimon.

The hosts have been on top but, despite some brilliance from Raheem Sterling and Philippe Coutinho, have lacked the final bit of quality in front of goal. Daniel Sturridge anyone?

Lazar Markovic blazes wide with just West Ham goalkeeper Adrian to beat, after Raheem Sterling goes down a little easily under the challenge of Joey O'Brien in the penalty area.

"A few minutes ago Daley Blind got his head to a corner at the near post, he is there again and this one was perfectly timed. Because of the ricochet off of Wes Morgan it was almost impossible to stop."

Former Tottenham striker Garth Crooks, Final Score

"Wes Morgan got the last touch. The ball's right in the six yard box and Morgan doesn't see the ball until late. It strikes him and goes in. In my career I was on the end of a few drubbings, and when you face that team again you want payback. For Manchester United today, this is revenge for that defeat on the first game of the season."

Title-chasing Derby, who have won six of their last seven games in all competitions, have taken a 1-0 lead against out-of-sorts Cardiff thanks to an own goal from Scott Malone and have moved level on points with league leaders Bournemouth.

Wolves' lead at Bolton didn't last too long with Zach Clough scoring two goals in two minutes to give the home side, who drew 0-0 with Liverpool in the FA Cup last weekend, a 2-1 lead against their play-off chasing visitors.

Meanwhile, Pavel Pogrebnyak has given Reading a 1-0 lead at home to Sheffield Wednesday.
