Nigel Pearson refuses to answer whether he felt he was about to lose his job on Sunday. He remains very polite and calm throughout - but firm.

Liverpool are now a point behind Tottenham with just three points separating them in seventh from Southampton in third.

Leicester manager Nigel Pearson says his relationship with the club' owner 'remains very good.'

All change at the top of the Championship tonight. Middlesbrough's late 2-1 win at Blackpool, secured by Spanish striker Kike, sees them leap from third to first, with erstwhile leaders Bournemouth and Derby both dropping down a place after drawing 2-2 with each other at Goldsands Stadium.

Ipswich climb to fourth by coming from a goal down to beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1, while sixth-placed Watford come from a goal down to win 2-1 at play-off rivals Brentford despite Troy Deeney having a penalty saved. Odion Ighalo scores twice for the Hornets to take his tally to 11 goals in eight games. It's harsh on Brentford, who played more than half the game with 10 men after Jake Bidwell's red card.

Hull captain Michael Dawson: "It was massive. The two boys up front set the tone and we couldn't have asked for any more.

"We've got big games coming up and if we perform like that on a weekly basis, we'll be OK.

"We've shown grit and determination and when we get the ball into those two up front, they're unplayable."

Leicester boss Nigel Pearson says he is tired of 'being an unlucky side' after defeat to Arsenal.

He's right too. The Foxes were excellent in the second half and could well have nicked at least a point.

Full reaction to come.

Into the last few minutes at Anfield. Spurs have Roberto Soldado on. What price for he and Mario Balotelli to bag in the same night?

Hull striker Dame N'Doye after scoring on his full debut: "It's exciting to play in the English league.

"It's good for my confidence and my partner [Nikica Jelavic] was working hard. It was a good performance.

"He's a good player and I enjoyed playing with him."

Here's what tonight's results have done to the foot of the table. Leicester are now five points away from safety, with Burnley and Villa making up the bottom three.

Sean Dyche's men have the chance to get out tomorrow night when they face 'long-ball' Manchester United at Old Trafford.

That's all he needed - a moustache and he's a new man. A goalscoring hero!

Mario Balotelli scores what might be the winner when he sidefoots home from six yards after being teed up by Adam Lallana's low cross. Never in doubt. It's his first Premier League goal for the club.

BBC Sport commentator John Acres at KC Stadium: "We want Lambert out is the chant from the Villa fans. A banner is out with LAMBERT OUT in big black writing."

Aston Villa have now gone eight hours and 28 minutes without an away Premier League goal.

"Hull move above Aston Villa in the table and problems are mounting for Paul Lambert.

"It is just two goals in 10 league matches without a win for them now. This could be a massive result for both sides."

A big night of action at the foot of the table then as Aston Villa end up the big losers.

At Anfield there is still around 15 minutes left.

A big win!

What a strike! Completely out of context with the game Ashley Westwood pings an absolute beauty from 25 yards, Allan McGregor beats it out and then somehow gets up to turn over Christian Benteke's follow-up. It's not your day Villa. Not your season. Not your era...

It's all happening at Bloomfield Road. Middlesbrough go ahead as Jonathan Woodgate - making his first start since August - heads his first goal since November 2012 to put them ahead at Blackpool. But an own goal from his central defensive partner Ben Gibson equalised, before Spanish striker Kike puts the visitors 2-1 up. With leaders Bournemouth drawing 2-2 at home to second-placed Derby, Middlesbrough are going top of the Championship as it stands.
