    Surely game over at Old Trafford as Manchester United add a third. This time, Daley Blind heads on a corner and Leicester's Wes Morgan can do little as it hits him on the head and deflects into the back of the net. It is all too easy and United are going up to third as things stand.

    Promotion-chasing Luton Town haven't lost at home in the league since early September and look like maintaining that record with Andrew Drury firing them into a 1-0 lead against Cambridge - who held Manchester United to a 0-0 draw in the FA Cup.

    Play-off hopefuls Plymouth Argyle are without a win in six games and fell behind on their 700-mile round trip to struggling Hartlepool, but Ryan Brunt has cancelled out Jonathan Franks' opening strike to make it 1-1.

    Leaders Wycombe are being held 0-0 at home by Portsmouth.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:42 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2015

    Blow for Stoke as central defender Ryan Shawcross limps off to be replaced by Marc Muniesa. QPR might fancy their chances at getting at Stoke.

    "QPR have got a goal back and you could say they are back in this but Stoke have been controlling things and QPR were quite fortunate with the goal really in the way it fell to Niko Kranjcar. Harry Redknapp is struggling to find a system that works at QPR and Kranjcar is just playing off the strikers."

    Liverpool continue to press but can't find the final touch. Raheem Sterling races down the left, cuts inside, but his shot is blocked by Adam Lallana. West Ham keeper kicks out at Philippe Coutinho but, fortunately for him, doesn't make contact.

    Daniel Sturridge will be itching to get involved on the substitutes' bench.

    "I don't think Burley have the financial resources to replace Danny Ings if he leaves. But if Burnley do go down, the manager will keep his job. At that club it's all about managing the finances."

    La Liga leaders Real Madrid are being held 1-1 by David Moyes' Real Sociedad at the Bernabeu Stadium in a 15.00GMT kick-off.

    Gorka Elustondo put Sociedad ahead in the first minute but Real, missing the suspended Cristiano Ronaldo, levelled through James Rodriguez.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:38 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2015

    West Brom have suddenly come to life and go closest to pulling a goal back when Craig Dawson rises to meet a James Morrison free-kick, but plants his header on the top of the crossbar. A goal for the Baggies before the break and things could get very interesting.

  9. CLOSE!published at 15:38 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2015

    Jason Puncheon with a fierce drive from 25 yards that Joel Robles turns around the post. Palace continue to dominate after falling behind in the second minute.

    "Defoe's going to score goals in this league, there's no doubt about it. And Gus Poyet's new signing has delivered - he has every reason to be delighted on the touchline."

    QPR are back in it. Joey Barton does well on the right and squares to Charlie Austin in front of goal. The striker scuffs his shot but Niko Kranjcar is in the right place to tap home. Game on.

  12. CLOSE!published at 15:35 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2015

    Andy Carroll has already had an eventful return to Anfield after being at the centre of a couple of controversial challenges. The West Ham striker goes close to breaking the deadlock with a close range header that forces a save from Simon Mignolet.

    Jermain Defoe is up and running in a Sunderland shirt as he grabs his first goal since joining the club. Patrick van Aanholt draws out Burnley keeper Tom Heaton and crosses for Defoe, who pokes in from close range.

    Where is QPR's defence? Jonathan Walters plays a one-two with Stephen Ireland, before slotting in his second goal of the game from the edge of the penalty area. Stoke are having a field day.

    Wayne Rooney congratulates FalcaoImage source, Getty Images

    "Radamel Falcao is claiming he had the last touch, although there may have been a deflection onto him from the Leicester defenders trying to clear it. Manchester United were in too easily there - there is just not enough pace in the Leicester back four. Leicester are going to have to come out and really play to get back into this. But they have done it before against United..."

    Andy Carroll is certainly making Liverpool aware he is around. This time Lazar Markovic goes down holding his face under the aerial challenge of the striker. Didn't look to be much in that.

    Manchester United have burst into life and Radamel Falcao adds a second with the simplest of tap-ins. Robin van Persie charges at the Leicester defence before slipping the ball to Angel Di Maria, whose drive is swatted away by Mark Schwarzer, but Falcao is there to stab in.

    Signs of life at last from the hosts, with James Morrison's curling shot from just outside the box bringing a fine one-handed save out of Hugo Lloris, who then makes an even better stop low to his right to deny a close-range stab from Claudio Yacub.

    "Robin van Persie was not offside, I don't think. All of Leicester's defenders stood stock still. Lovely play from Daley Blind in the build-up, who stole the ball before playing Van Persie in. And a great finish."
