Rory Donnelly has given relegation-threatened Tranmere a 1-0 half-time lead at managerless Newport. Donnelly touched in Jennison Myrie-Williams' cross in the seventh minute of first-half stoppage time - with the game held up by a bad injury to Newport's Lee Minshull.

At the other end of the table, second-placed Wycombe trail 2-0 at home to Plymouth, while leaders Burton are goalless at home to AFC Wimbledon, as are third-placed Shrewsbury at Carlisle. Southend lead Cheltenham 2-0, Cambridge are 1-0 up at Exeter and Morecambe are beating Mansfield 2-1.

Ricky Alvarez is on for Sunderland. Can he spark a comeback?

"Liverpool should be in front, they have had several good chances in good positions but the final ball has not quite been good enough.

"Liverpool have to win, it is very attacking team, but Spurs have not been in awe."

Ian Wright and Lee Dixon are being interviewed on the pitch at the Emirates, they will be pleased enough with that first-half showing from the Gunners. Arsenal are up to fourth again as it stands.

Bristol City are on course to go four points clear at the top of League One tonight. Jay Emmanuel-Thomas's ninth goal of the season has given them a 1-0 half-time lead over Port Vale, while second-placed Swindon trail 2-0 at Oldham.

Fourth-placed Preston - six points behind MK Dons in third at the start of play - could halve that gap, as they lead 1-0 at 10-man Chesterfield thanks to Joe Garner's header.

Walsall lead Rochdale 3-0, while in the two key relegation clashes of the night, Scunthorpe are 1-0 up at Coventry, and Crewe lead Yeovil by the same score.

'Lambert Out' is emblazoned on a banner held aloft in the away end at the KC Stadium. Aston Villa were last in the second division in 1987-88. They could be about to be setting the Sat Nav for Swindon...

Harry Kane has scored another very tidy goal this evening in a fairly even game at Anfield. There is still around 10 minutes of the first half left in that one.

Richard J Moir: Arsenal have a stranglehold over Leicester at the moment. Ironically, stealing Nigel Pearson's plans

Niall McGuinness: It feels like #AVFC have accepted relegation. There is little to no fight in the squad aside from Gil. We're a disgrace.

Tom Castle: You can't find a team above #AVFC that you would say is weaker. The writing is on the wall and it says Championship.

Nikica Jelavic may be struggling for full fitness but he has put the Tigers ahead in this basement battle. Villa started brightly but it's Hull who end the first game on top.

Leaders Bournemouth are back in front in the Championship's battle of the top two, and it's the in-form Callum Wilson who has made it happen with his 17th goal of the season. Wilson thunders in a right-foot shot after Yann Kermorgant chases the ball down the right, and it's 2-1 at half-time against Derby.

There's been a controversial red card in the contest between play-off contenders at Griffin Park. Brentford's Jake Bidwell has been dismissed for a strong challenge on Watford's Miguel Layun - a straight red card seemed a harsh decision. It's 0-0 there. Lewis Grabban has given Norwich a 2-0 lead at Charlton, while Craig Conway has given Blackburn a 1-0 half-time lead against Rotherham. Half-time leads too for Wolves and Sheffield Wednesday.

All change in the key positions. As it stands Arsenal are up to fourth, Villa are into the bottom three, and Hull and QPR are both rising clear of the drop zone.

Six-pointers everywhere you look...

Will in Loughborough: Nigel Pearson should have been sacked at Christmas. His head's gone!

Alan, Manchester: Aston Villa mirroring the Man City of the 80s. Thought they were too big to go down. Before they knew it they were playing third-tier football. Beware.

Pick that one out! What a goal, what a goal by Robert Zamora! Unstoppable.

It's another right-wing cross from Matty Phillips, into the penalty spot where Zamora, tightly marked, hooks in a cracking strike, right into the top corner. His surprised celebration tells you everything about the quality of that one...

Leicester's backline is starting to look very fragile as Arsenal carve them open twice in a matter of seconds. On the first occasion Theo Walcott's ball from the right is not good enough before Mesut Ozil loses the ball in a good area. If the Foxes aren't careful this could get ugly...

Preston's man advantage has told in the battle of the play-off rivals at Chesterfield. North End's top scorer Joe Garner, only just back from a tendon injury, scores his 13th goal of this season to make it 1-0. Chesterfield, remember, had Sam Hird sent off in the third minute.

It's been a good night so far for leaders Bristol City. They lead Port Vale 1-0 thanks to Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, while second-placed Swindon are 2-0 down at Oldham. MK Dons, in third, lost 2-1 at Bradford last night. Elsewhere, Crewe lead Yeovil 1-0 in a key relegation battle, Nicky Ajose the scorer. Sheffield United, Scunthorpe, Fleetwood, Doncaster, Notts County and Walsall also lead.

Who else? The boy's on fire.

It's a lovely worked goal to bring Spurs level, with Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela linking up on the edge of the box and the latter playing through a cute ball. It's too clever for Mamadou Sakho who gets in a tangle and falls over, allowing Harry Kane time to pick his spot and bury the ball past Simon Mignolet from 12 yards. All square.
