But the top flight is back with a bang on the weekend starting Saturday 14 March.

Among the games to look forward to are Manchester United v Tottenham, Chelsea v Southampton and Arsenal v West Ham.

Get yer' full top-flight fixture list over here.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that Nemanja Matic, who was suspended for the match, injured his ankle celebrating their Capital One Cup final win over Tottenham on Sunday.

Matic followed captain John Terry's lead in donning full kit for the larking about and champagne spraying.

"He put his shinpad on, but not the ankle tape," said Mourinho, adding he will be alright for the Champions League last 16 second leg against Paris St-Germain next week.

"Who is playing well in that Everton side? The manager is playing the same system from last season, when they did play well. There are issues all over the pitch, which accumulate and result in some bad, bad performances. You can put this all at the door of Roberto Martinez but the players need to take some responsibility too."

Rian Hoskins: We forget how far Stoke have come under Hughes. They are slow starters but play flowing football and are still tough to beat.

Dominic Halton: I am convinced Liverpool will beat Man United and claim fourth spot, just based on the way Liverpool are playing.

Girish Santhosh: Credit to Rodgers for this brilliant turnaround. Henderson looks at home in his new role as captain.

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris on Bafetimbi Gomis - a former team-mate at Lyon: - "It's not the first time but it's always a big moment of worry for all the stadium all the players. Everyone was scared but the most thing is Bafe is much better now and I hope he will recover well and be involved for the next game."

'We can enjoy this stage of the season'

BBC Radio 5 live

Brendan Rodgers on 5 live Football Social: "It was a good performance tonight. These can be difficult games because you're expected to win. Burnley are a tough team to beat, but tonight we were very, very good in our defensive organisation and we looked very exciting going forward.

"Daniel Sturridge started tonight and he contributed, he got his goal.

"It's all about the levels of our performances - we are focused, we are playing the game at our level and we're entering a stage of the season which we can enjoy. We just have to maintain this momentum."

"I am genuinely sick"

Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey, speaking to BBC Sport: "We played very well but you cannot keep being unlucky and sorry that you lost the game. Detail has cost us and I am genuinely sick for the players, I thought they gave everything but at this level it is the detail that matters. We can't keep relying on Charlie Austin.

"It is fantastic that he had a few shots, and he worked tirelessly for the team but we need to start creating opportunities for a few other people. Overall the performance was good and I am sick we could not at least get something out of the game."

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers on Jordan Henderson: "It was great - the strike for his goal and the feed into Daniel Sturridge for the second. He is up there with the top assist makers in the league, he has very good technique. He is developing well as a player, he still has work to go but he knows that. It's great to see."

Henderson has seven assists in the Premier League this season, matching his best total from any previous top-flight campaign.

Manager reaction

PA

Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "We were very good. We had the setback of losing Philipp Wollscheid so we had to make a change early on a regroup.

"But it was typical performance of not allowing anything to sway us from what we want to achieve this season.

"It's a fantastic header from Victor Moses and then we are in a position to soak up pressure and hit on the break.

"It was arguably Moses's best performance for Stoke City.

"It's a fantastic period at the moment, 42 points and we are eighth. We're very happy but we still have work to do.

"People were talking about Europe at the press conference but we have never talked about Europe this year, it was all about achieving a points total that was greater than last year.

"I'm not sure Europe is achievable but we will have a go."

Manager reaction

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, speaking to BBC Sport: "We had the chances to score three or four. QPR gave everything and we needed to be patient and resilient because in the first 25 minutes they stopped us from playing.

"But in the second half it was all us. At 2-1 you become edgy, we could not score the third goal and you never know, with Charlie Austin up front who can score a goal from anywhere. He must have one of the strongest strikes in the league. But overall we controlled the game well."

Manager reaction

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal on alleged spitting from Jonny Evans at Papiss Cisse: "I didn't see it.

"I don't think Jonny Evans is a spitter. Maybe spitting on the floor but we are on the bench and you cannot see from there."

Newcastle winger Jonas Gutierrez on his return to playing after battling testicular cancer: "I will remember for the rest of my life the reception. I'm really happy with the reception and the support the fans gave me and the support through the illness.

"The support I have had from clubs all around the world, they don't matter about the shirt, it has helped me keep fighting. For people having the trouble I have been through, you have to be positive. If you believe in the heart you can beat the problems, you can."

'Spitting is one of the worst things in football'

Reuters

Newcastle United manager John Carver speaking to BBC match of the Day: "I'm devastated, I'm annoyed. I needed five to 10 minutes to calm down. Our guys gave every inch. But when you play Man Utd you have to concentrate for every minute and we didn't.

"I think we had the best chances and you have to put one of those away. You just wonder if they will hit you on the sucker punch and they did.

"I'm devastated for our guys. The goal at the end the way it came, young Abeid has learned a harsh lesson, he is learning the game.

On Newcastle's first-half penalty shout: "It was a penalty. Mr Taylor has a decision to make. At the time I thought it was and usually your gut instinct is right."

On alleged spitting between Papiss Cisse and Jonny Evans: "I haven't seen it."

If it has happened is that something you will act on? "You can't do it can you, it's one of the worst things in football. I can't comment on it, I just know there was a fracas on the halfway line."

Manager reaction

Chelsea

AP

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "The way they play, nobody is better than them. They are the best at the way they play. It is not just to play football, the pressure, the tension and the emotion, my players were fantastic. We couldn't kill the game and these three points are massive for us.

"I told the referee is it very difficult to be a ref here, because of the style of their game. Lots of long balls. West Ham had lots of balls in the box, very difficult, very intense and really difficult for the referee.

"They complain for everything, the crowd is behind them and it is really, really difficult.

"Eden Hazard is fantastic. He is punished by opponents in a very hard way. Today, not in a violent way, just an aggressive football way because they tried to stop him but the kid is playing, scoring and defending. My team were brothers on the pitch and that is important if you are to win the most difficult league in the world.

"I want to sleep tomorrow until midday. Today easily you lose two points."

Player reaction

Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson: "We knew that we needed to back up beating a side like Manchester City, we knew Burnley would make it difficult so it was a big three points.

"It's another good performance, but we need to keep building on it. I want to keep doing what I've been doing [as captain]. When Steven Gerrard is not there, I try to lead by example, but hopefully we can get him back because he's a massive player for us."

Tottenham

Tottenham manager: Mauricio Pochettino: "I am happy but the feeling is a bit strange because in the last minutes they had chances.

"It was a great save in the last minute. He (Hugo Lloris) is one of the best in the world and we are lucky we have him with us.

"The three points and victory were very important - to feel like a winner again after the game. It was difficult after the final to lift the players and supporters but we showed big character today and played well. It was a great performance."

Manager Reaction

Reuters

Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "It's disappointing as it has been a really tough two weeks. We showed that lack of cutting edge. Overall it was a pretty even game and I'm disappointed how we conceded the first goal as it is free header in the 18-yard box.

"I did feel that as a team we showed we had played a number of matches in a short period of time.

"The Europa League campaign is a bit obvious at the moment as it is a lot of games to play in a short period but as a club that is what we want, to play in Europe.

"The concern is a huge moment in the season, we have 10 games and we will treat them as finals. We are in this situation for many reasons but we are looking forward and up to get as high up in the table as we can.

"The desire and wanting for the result was there but the legs couldn't get there. We are ready to face the challenge straight on. We haven't got the results that our performances deserve.

"Everyone at the club, it's the moment to get together and make sure we finish the season strongly. We need bit of luck and momentum but it's not been that type of season."

Manager reaction

PA

Swansea manager Garry Monk: "Bafetimbi Gomis is fine. He went to hospital as a precaution but he is fine. That's the main thing.

"He just needed a minute but he was talking when he came off the pitch.

"We understand his history. He has had all the tests but it's just part of life for him."

Former West Brom, Sunderland and Everton winger Kevin Kilbane

5 live Sport

"Everton will be safe, but is that good enough for Evertonians? The big distraction has been Europe, getting results, but that has the knock-on effect in the league. Recent league performances have been really poor, and Romelu Lukaku is out of form."

Manager reaction

AP

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal: "I think we have dominated for 90 minutes, maybe our best match of the season, especially in an away match we deserved the victory.

"We didn't reward ourselves in the first half. It was a narrow escape because our rivals have won also so it's a rat race.

"We have created a lot of chances and could have scored much earlier. They also made two big chances and I think David de Gea rescued us at that time.

"It was a crazy run from Wayne Rooney, a lost ball, that shows the fighting spirit in this team. We want to win. All my changes were to win, not to hold the result."

Manager's reaction

West Ham

Reuters

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce: "I believe the performance was magnificent. Their goalkeeper's performance made some fantastic saves. I think the goal is offside by a hair's breadth.

"These decisions need to go for you not against you. In saying all that we shouldn't have lost it in the chances we missed.

"We started the second half brilliantly, the keeper made some great saves, and it is a shame these are happening on a regular occurrence with no wins. We can only hope it turns in our favour quickly.

"The LMA is a fantastic professional body, with people who don't get listened to. We have fantastic ideas on how to improve the game but it is not going to happen. The authorities won't take us under their wing to help them change the game. We can keep pressing for more of an influence and can't give up."

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson to BBC Sport on his side being denied at least one penalty: "They are always big calls. But three in one night is a bit surprising, isn't it? I don't need to talk about those decisions because the fact you are interested in them means you have seen them and know the rules. I know what I think and I'm keeping it to myself.

"We played well, it was a disciplined performance. We have to make sure we take the positives from tonight's game - and there were plenty of those. I thought we could have played better at times but we were in the game all night."

Manager reaction

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "We needed to be strong and get the ball down more, to get back to our game, and we did that better in the second half, I felt it was all us.

"We scored two but we could have scored more, we played very well in the second half, and our collective game as a group was good, the chances we created were good and we played with a lot of desire and belief, overall it was a very positive game."

Player reaction

Liverpool

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson: "It is another massive three points from us and keeps the momentum going. I thought that Daniel Sturridge's movement and holding up of the the ball was excellent. We are getting back to what we were doing well last season with high-tempo pressing high up and pitch and then playing in between the lines."

Daniel Sturridge: "I feel good, I have felt good since I came back and am ready to play. I don't want to be eased back in, but that is was the manager wants."

Steve Bruce said last night that grown men were behaving like children, and Leicester manager Nigel Pearson is doing his best teenager impression now.

When asked to elaborate on his monosyllabic answers about a penalty appeal he just shrugs and says: "What's the point? What's the point."

Let's just say he thinks they should have had a penalty or two. Full quotes to come.

Manager reaction

Manchester City manage Manuel Pellegrini: "It's been a difficult week but from the beginning we tried to dominate. It was very important to score our first goal when we did but we had more chances in second half and we improved.

"At 1-0 you are one ball away from drawing the game. It's very important to play well but the most important thing is to win."

"Leicester had two really good penalty appeals. Jeffrey Sclupp was first pushed over by Wilfried Bony, then a player was fouled on the line of the City area.

Everton continue to huff and puff but they are yet to really hurt Stoke. Kevin Mirallas, their final change, is on.

Phil McNulty

BBC Sport chief football writer at Etihad Stadium

"Sharp reminder for Manchester City as that shot from Riyad Mahrez rolled against the post. Leicester City may be second best but they are preying on City's nerves, and the nerves of their supporters, every time they come forward. City looking anxious at the back."

Fifteen minutes to go

Fifteen minutes go at Upton Park with Cheikhou Kouyate still getting treatment on the pitch.

Into the last 10 minutes at St James' Park. Manchester United have had almost 70% of the ball, they've had 10 efforts on goal. But they haven't scored.

Here comes Juan Mata, on for Marouane Fellaini. Beauty replaces the beast?

Ouch! You could feel that one from up here.

Chasing a return ball from Diafra Sakho, Cheikhou Kouyate runs straight into John Terry, bashing heads together.

Terry is up and bouncing. Kouyate is going to need a little longer and bit of magic sponge.

It's all happening at Elland Road now. Alex Mowatt's terrific free-kick put Leeds in front at home to play-off chasers Ipswich, only for Freddie Sears to squeeze an equaliser under keeper Marco Silvestre three minutes later. But Billy Sharp has just restored Leeds' advantage, and it's 2-1.

Blackburn, without an away league win since 25 October, lead 2-1 at Sheffield Wednesday. Chris Maguire has pulled a goal back for the home side after Lewis McGugan's ball in causes all sorts of problems in the visitors' box.

Fifth-placed Norwich are having plenty of possession at home to second-from-bottom Wigan, but are not making it count. Malky Mackay's side are still 1-0 in front through Kim Bo-Kyung's 12th-minute goal. Birmingham lead bottom club Blackpool 1-0.

That is as close as West Ham have come to a leveller.

Enner Valencia's shot takes an awkward bounce right in front of Thibaut Courtois, the Belgian spills and Gary Cahill bails him out of trouble with a tremendous sliding challenge, beating Diafra Sakho to the loose ball.

HITS THE WOODWORK

...and almost the leveller for Leicester! An element of hit-and-hope about Riyad Mahrez's speculator from 20 yards, it takes a touch off a defender and has Joe Hart beaten all ends up. Hart turns and watches - and sees the ball hit the base of the post.

GREAT SAVE!

Tim Krul again! Top save to keep out Wayne Rooney's steepling header at the back post. Almost the breakthrough...

Tottenham are bossing this now. Kyle Walker comes scampering forward, spots a hole and drives into the box.

All left foot, he attempts an outside-of-the-foot finish from 15 yards. It catches a hefty deflection off Federico Fernandez and dribbles just wide with Lukasz Fabianski wrong-footed.

You shouldn't be able to score from there! He's been brilliant, Alexis Sanchez, in the second half and he gets his reward with a second goal which has been a long time in coming. The Chile forward beats two men on the left of the area to weave inside the 18-yard box, it looks like he should pull the ball back but he instead squeezes in a shot which wrongfoots Rob Green at his near post and finds the net.

"Leicester have created chances, and they are causing Manchester City one or two problems on the counter-attack."

Manchester City are still a long way short of top gear, and they are almost punished as Dave Nugent stabs a great chance wide. He should score, but his blushes are saved by an offside flag.

This has not been the performance of champions from the hosts though. Though as I say that, Mark Schwarzer is at it again to keep out Yaya Toure's curler.

GREAT SAVE!

Much better from Arsenal and they scent a killer second goal. Alexis Sanchez is again at the heart of it, beating Darnell Furlong and testing Rob Green from range.

Former Leyton Orient manager Martin Ling: "A great save by Adrian with his feet. West Ham were calling for the offside again, and they're really under the cosh with Chelsea the aggressors. The tempo of Chelsea is wonderful. Are these players tired from that Sunday cup final? It doesn't show."

GREAT SAVE!

What a stop!

Adrian somehow gets a foot to Ramires' downward header to keep West Ham in the game. The chance was created by a lovely cross from Eden Hazard after the Belgian's dummy had left half the Hammers defenders on the seat of their pants.

SUBSTITUTION

Everton have unleashed Arouna Kone and his first moment of danger sees a shot well saved by Asmir Begovic. Can Everton find a way back? Or will their slide continue?

A lively start to the second half at Elland Road, but still no goals. Ipswich left-back Tyrone Mings is denied twice in quick succession, first by a brilliant save from Leeds keeper Marco Silvestri and then by defender Scott Wootton's block. A point in West Yorkshire for Mick McCarthy's side will take them back into the play-off places.

No change elsewhere in the Championship; fifth-placed Norwich's six-match winning run is under threat as they trail 1-0 at home to struggling Wigan, Birmingham lead bottom club Blackpool by the same score and Blackburn are 2-0 up at Sheffield Wednesday in the mid-table battle.

"Angel Di Maria is obviously struggling at the moment. He reminds me of Mesut Ozil at Arsenal, starting like a house on fire and then going downhill. He needs to work on his body strength. That's just what Ozil has done."

CLOSE!

You don't hit them better than that! Matthew Phillips with a stunning hit on the bounce, the technique of a master, cracking drive - just a foot wide. David Ospina would never have saved it. End-to-end now.

KICK-OFF

Back up and running on Merseyside

HITS THE WOODWORK

Could be... Could be... Nope.

Ramires hustles, feints and finally decides to pull the trigger in the box after a couple of opening presented themselves.

His side-foot effort beats Adrian first time, but rebounds off the inside of the post and back into the goalkeeper's arms.

Are we going to get a goal at Loftus Road? Alexis Sanchez jets in from the left, opens up his body Thierry Henry style and pokes one wide. Steve Bould offers a prayer.

BBC London 94.9

Former QPR striker Bradley Allen: "It's a tremendous finish. Ryan Mason threatened to do that on a couple of occasions in the first half, running on beyond the strikers. This time, the ball broke into his path and he directed the ball into the top corner. Wonderful finish, having shifted the ball out from under his feet. Excellent composure. Spurs have that all-important second goal, and this game is now going to be a cracker."

SUBSTITUTION - Di Maria off

Angel Di Maria lobs one wide on the run. Manchester United continue to look frustrated - as Di Maria is replaced. On comes Adnan Januzaj in his place.

GREAT SAVE!

Brilliant again from Mark Schwarzer. Valuable veteran. This time he goes full-stretch to turn away a Sergio Aguero header.

GOAL

Getty Images

Ryan Mason has to be restrained by stewards as he heads towards the Tottenham faithful to celebrate, punching the air and hollering his head off.

That is his first Premier League goal and it was a decent strike to open your top-flight account, hammering home a rising shot after Christian Eriksen's twisting run drew in the Swansea defence.

West Ham are showing signs of getting out from under the Chelsea cosh. Diafra Sakho ripples the wrong side of the side netting with a meaty hit from 15 yards. Gary Cahill did well to cut down his angle.

Former Tottenham and England midfielder Jermaine Jenas

5 live Sport

"Tim Krul made himself as big as possible. It was a great save, fantastic stuff."

GREAT SAVE!

Fantastic double save from Tim Krul! He's kept Newcastle in the game. Marouane Fellaini beats the offside trap to run onto a flick over the top, he takes it on his chest and fires in a shot. Krul parries it out but only to Ashley Young. Young takes too long in getting a shot away but when he does he leathers it in, and somehow Krul also turns that one over the top.

Louis van Gaal had Krul to thanks for some heroics during the World Cup. He's cursing him now.

Harry Kane floats into the spot where he scored the winner in the north London derby, but this time the Tottenham striker's looping header drifts just wide of the post.

CLOSE!

So close to an equaliser! Leicester striker Andrej Kramaric floats in a free-kick from the edge of the box, it takes a slight touch off the wall and glances into the side-netting.

UPDATE: We can confirm that @BafGomis is in a stable condition following the earlier incident at White Hart Lane tonight.

Not many sweeter strikers of a ball than Jonjo Shelvey in the Premier League and the Swansea midfielder is showing his full range tonight.

He warms Hugo Lloris's palms with a 20-yard rising rasper.

Mesut Ozil - an apology

I owe you an apology, Mesut Ozil! The reason he didn't score [20:50} is that Karl Henry had him in an armlock as he tried to steer home. That should have been a penalty to Arsenal.

GREAT SAVE!

David de Gea is one of the Manchester United players who is not struggling for form this year and the Red Devils are grateful to their goalkeeper for keeping them level. The Spaniard does his best Peter Schmeichel impression to deny Emmanuel Riviere's volley at point-blank range.

Jonny Evans and Papiss Cisse squared up in midfield during that first half and television replays seem to show that both players spat at each other.

HALF-TIME

John Motson

BBC Match of the Day commentator

"It's been an entertaining 51 minutes. Spurs ahead through Chadli before Ki's equaliser but the concern will be for the hospital report for Swansea centre-forward Bafetimbi Gomis."

PENALTY APPEAL

Reuters

A half-hearted shout for a penalty from the visiting fans, but that would have been a travesty of justice if Burnley had got a spot-kick.

Martin Skrtel's tackle was untidy, limbs everywhere, but he took the ball from Ashley Barnes fairly and squarely.

HALF-TIME

Lee Clark has had little reason to be cheerful during his four-and-a-bit months in charge at Blackpool, and it's not going well on his return to Birmingham, who sacked him in October. Andrew Shinnie has given Gary Rowett's side a 1-0 half-time lead against the Championship's bottom club.

Wigan, one place and six points above Blackpool at the start of play, are halfway towards a third successive away win, leading in-form promotion-chasers Norwich 1-0 at the break thanks to South Korea midfielder Kim Bo-Kyung's second goal in two matches.

Blackburn have a comfortable 2-0 interval lead at Sheffield Wednesday, while Ipswich - who dropped out of the play-off places after Brentford won last night - are on course to climb back into sixth, as they are drawing 0-0 at Leeds.

Guy Mowbray

BBC Match of the Day commentator at St James' Park

"Wayne Rooney had a couple of chances, Emmanuele Riviere spurned a chance late on and perhaps should have had a penalty earlier in the game. Jonny Evans and Papiss Cisse made sure it was eventful end to the first half but it remains goalless."

HALF-TIME

Liverpool are buzzing around with intent. Raheem Sterling is getting plenty of change out of Ben Mee down the right wing.

Phil McNulty

BBC Sport chief football writer at Etihad Stadium

"Great relief for Manchester City with that goal from David Silva seconds before half-time. They had created the better chances but again it has been an uninspired performance. Nigel Pearson will be doubly angry now - a goal conceded and that clear penalty claim ignored."

BBC Radio Manchester

Former Man City striker Shaun Goater: "It's all about the pace of the cross. Superb from Kolarov. He drilled it in, Bony hit it at goal and Silva was there to tap in the ball as it fell to him."

HALF-TIME

Steve Wilson

BBC Match of the Day commentator

"A very good half from Queens Park Rangers. Charlie Austin has had three or four attempts at goal, one of which was beautifully struck but flew just wide. David Ospina has been the busier goalkeeper, but Robert Green has also had some work to do, stopping from Olivier Giroud and Santi Cazorla. It's been a good game."

Philippe Coutinho has these Anfield angles worked out.

After scoring from way out West against Manchester City at the weekend, the Brazilian almost produces a carbon-copy from distance and a tricky angle.

Just wide of the post with Tom Heaton nowhere.

GOAL

Getty Images

Manchester City take the lead after their best move of the night. Aleksander Kolarov pulls back the cross, Wilfried Bony's shot is blocked, David Silva's follow-up is brilliantly blokced by Wes Morgan, but the ball runs free for the Spaniard to slot in from five yards out. Harsh on Leicester.

INJURY TIME

Six minutes of added time at White Hart Lane in the wake of Bafetimbi's Gomis on-pitch collapse earlier in the half.

Better from Everton as Aaron Lennon tests Asmir Begovic with a low drive from 15 yards. Better, but not great.

Former Tottenham and England midfielder Jermaine Jenas

"Henderson keeps working into positions where he can cut inside and hit the ball, and he struck that so sweetly."

Former Man City and England full-back Danny Mills

at Etihad Stadium for 5 live Sport

"Looking at these two teams, it's very difficult to say which side is nearly top and which side is propping up the league. Man City are not playing with confidence, and this is very laboured."

Lovely stuff! Wonderful one-touch stuff on the edge of the box from Arsenal sees Santi Cazorla crack in a shot which Rob Green does well to get down to and keep out. Arsenal finding some fluency at last.

GOAL

Getty Images

Whomph!

Jordan Henderson, wearing the captain's armband, does his best Steven Gerrard v Olympiakos impression, crashing a half-volley into the bottom corner from 25 yards.

That was travelling. Philippe Coutinho set the chance up with a mazy run and blocked shot.

Jonjo Shelvey is pulling the strings for Swansea.

Another pinged ball, right out the sweet spot, almost picks out Ki Sung-yeung.

It is an open game at White Hart Lane though and Lukasz Fabinanski gets out of jail as he flaps at a cross and Harry Kane is a whisker away at the back stick.

Hull City defender Curtis Davies

at St James' Park for 5 live Sport

"I was on the bench when Guy Poyet and Steve Bruce had their coming-together yesterday. And now I've seen handbags between Evans and Cisse. I must be the common factor!"

CLOSE!

That is top, top class from David Silva! What a ball, the old loft wedge over a packed defence, brilliant to pick out Wilfried Bony. He takes it on his chest but slices a shot wide on his left foot.

Great, great chance.

Reuters

Burnley's goal is living a charmed life.

Tom Heaton has to get down sharply to keep out Jordan Henderson's low curling effort from the edge of the box and only just claimed a loose ball in the box in time as Daniel Sturridge snaps around his ankles.

No signs of a fightback from Everton so far. Sloppy play sees them put the ball wastefully out of play with an overlap on.

Jonny Evans and Papiss Cisse have some afters after a coming together in midfield. Manchester United remain the better side but it's not the best game so far.

What a miss!

Reuters

Diafra Sakho has parity on his forehead, but directs his free header into the turf from eight yards out.

A horrible waste from an excellent cross from Carl Jenkinson.

Former Man City and England full-back Danny Mills

at Etihad Stadium for 5 live Sport

"Manchester City have just had a couple of shots, but the first half-hour was very, very dull. Nothing really happened. Leicester have a top quality keeper in Mark Schwartzer, so to beat him Man City will have to do much better than this.

"I came here tonight, knowing this is second versus bottom. After City's week I expected them to come out, at home, and really have gone for Leicester and have a go. But two decent shots on target, that's it. Very lacklustre, very poor."

CLOSE!

What a touch from Charlie Austin, in front of the watching Roy Hodgson too. Austin totally does Francis Coquelin with a great turn, and instantly hammers a shot into the side-netting.

CHAMPAGNE MOMENT

Carl Jenkinson with a rescue job the Thunderbirds would be proud of.

The on-loan full-back races back to slide in and rob Diego Costa just as the Spaniard is poised to pull the trigger in a one-on-one with Adrian.

Superb defending, took the ball as clean as a whistle despite Costa's dirty looks.

CLOSE!

A rare chance for Newcastle as Papiss Cisse brilliantly controls the ball 20 yards out but his ambitious volley goes about 20 yards wide. It would have been some goal.

BBC Radio 5 live

BBC commentator Jonathan Legard: "Bafetimbi Gomis was talking and he was conscious as he was taken off. It seems as he made his way back to halfway after the Tottenham goal he bent down to adjust his socks and just didn't get up. He seemingly fainted. But we expect official confirmation, maybe at half-time but probably at full-time."

Getty Images

GREAT SAVE!

And another fine save, this time in west London. QPR winger Matty Phillips hits a dipping, searching ball from the left which is aimed at Charlie Austin but could go straight in and David Ospina reaches out to turn it away.

Arsenal have to make a change at the back as Laurent Koscielny replaces the stricken Gabriel.

Burnley have been penned back for most of the early stages, but Scott Arfield finally gets an attempt in. It soars high, high over Simon Mignolet's bar from 25 yards though.

GREAT SAVE!

Getty Images

Close to Wilfried Bony's first Manchester City goal, and it's another great save by Mark Schwarzer. The timeless Mark Schwarzer.

Jesus Navas toasts his man down the right and finds Bony at the near post, not the cleanest connection but he's only six yards out. Great save though.

Former Tottenham and England midfielder Jermaine Jenas

5 live Sport

"A brilliant header. Victor Moses is just behind the penalty spot, the ball is just behind him and he's leapt up, and what a header. He got such power on the ball, especially for a player who's not renowned for his heading. A fantastic goal."

Getty Images

Chelsea are asking all the questions at Upton Park. Sixty-three percent possession so far and the West Ham defence is getting increasing ragged.

The hosts are creaking and could be leaking a second soon.

GOAL

PA

What a header! One for Sir Les Ferdinand or Peter Crouch to admire, it's majestic. Stoke work a throw-in out to Phil Bardsley, he not so much crosses it as drills a raking pass into the middle and Victor Moses rises like a mid-90s Michael Jordan, superb air time to then bullet a header into the top corner from at least 15 yards. Wonderful stuff!

Taxi for Coloccini! The Newcastle defender falls over in the right-back position, presenting Angel Di Maria with a run on goal. He picks out Wayne Rooney, whose touch takes him away from the covering defender but Tim Krul sweeps out to make a firm block at his feet.

The latest news on Swansea striker Bafetimbi Gomis is that he is being taken to hospital for tests.

The good news is that he is in a stable condition and was speaking as he left the pitch on a stretcher after collapsing in the wake of Tottenham's early goal.

Arsenal's best move of the night so far releases Kieran Gibbs down the left, he has time to pick a cross but his clipped ball in is just too high for the lurking Olivier Giroud. Arsenal a long way short of their best but that's better...

PENALTY APPEAL

Getty Images

Manchester United enjoying the best chances but Newcastle fans still can't believe they haven't had the chance to score from the spot.

TV replays show Chris Smalling was very lucky to get away with his challenge on Emmanuel Riviere in the penalty area as the French forward bust through towards David de Gea's goal.

Blackburn are warming up nicely for Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final at Liverpool by taking the lead at Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship. Jordan Rhodes has latched on to a flick on from a throw-in for his 13th goal of the season. A family connection for you: Rhodes' father, Andy, is Wednesday's goalkeeping coach.

Wigan, nine points adrift of safety at the the wrong end of the table, remain 1-0 up at promotion hopefuls Norwich thanks to Kim Bo-Kyung's early goal. Blackpool manager Lee Clark's return to Birmingham is goalless so far, as is the match at Elland Road between Leeds and Ipswich.

Phil McNulty

BBC Sport chief football writer at Etihad Stadium

"Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson is angry in his technical area - not grabbing James McArthur by the throat angry but angry nonetheless - as he believes his side were denied a penalty as Wilfried Bony dragged back Jeff Schlupp. And he has every right to be angry because that looked to be a real escape for Manchester City."

Tottenham are zipping the ball around nicely on the edge of the Swansea box, but are struggling to pick a final ball. Nabil Bentaleb wallops a shot straight into a defender from range.

BBC London 94.9

Former Leyton Orient manager Martin Ling: "It looked offside, but I think the ball was played backwards. Very worrying for West Ham, the space that was granted to Eden Hazard inside the six yard box. Chelsea lead, and that goal is Chelsea all over - it's not luck."

Jordan Henderson, perhaps still thinking about that worldie strike against Manchester City at the weekend, takes on a volley on the edge of the area.

Slightly different result this time as he almost clears the stand behind Tom Heaton's goal.

AFP

Leicester having a spell of real threat as new signing Andrej Kramaric bursts clear, goalkeeper Joe Hart comes out and just about gets a touch to the ball. Not a penalty this time, but the men in red are having a real go. Manchester City's early cut and thrust is looking rather blunted.

Charlie Austin has another shot which David Ospina juggles. Ospina looking a bit dubious so far, and at the other end Olivier Giroud shoots from a tight angle which Rob Green holds.

PENALTY APPEAL

Wilfried Bony is a lucky boy! Back defending a corner, he pulls a hand across Jeffrey Schlupp's face and the Ghana man goes down. It's a very, very good penalty shout but the referee waves them on...

BBC London 94.9

Former QPR striker Bradley Allen: "Spurs had cleared the ball and it looked as though the pressure had been alleviated, but Swansea were able to rebuild, they swung the ball in and Ki converted from a very acute angle. We said this game would have goals, and it hasn't disappointed. All-out attack from both sides, and the defending hasn't been brilliant."

GOAL

Getty Images

Sam Allardyce is not going to like this.

Eden Hazard, all five foot and not very much of him, is left in glorious isolation in the middle to direct a header past Adrian from Ramires' cross.

The ball in might have caught a slight deflection, but there is no excuse really. Not one that Big Sam will accept anyway.

Ashley Young takes a whack to the chops from Moussa Sissoko, accidental I think, but Young is left dazed and confused. A touch of the magic sponge and he's OK.

This whole game needs a whiff of smelling salts.

GOAL

Getty Images

Swansea had looked a little dazed in the wake of Bafetimbi Gomis's exit, but they are back in their stride now.

Gylfi Sigurdsson rattles the crossbar with a swerving free-kick against his former club, but he goes from head in hands to punching the air in celebration as Ki Sung-yeung pokes in as the ball comes back into the middle.

CLOSE!

It has been bits and pieces so far for West Ham, but that was a clear chance.

Kevin Nolan levered his marker out of the way and Cheikhou Kouyate fires the loose ball into the shins of Thibaut Courtois.

Phil McNulty

BBC Sport chief football writer

"All very subdued here at The Etihad - although all the serious threat has come from Manchester City. City's fans were frustrated as David Silva took an extra touch instead of shooting and almost all the action taking place in the Leicester City half."

GREAT SAVE!

And almost an immediate goal for Liverpool!

Lovely interchange between Raheem Sterling and Adam Lallana and Daniel Sturridge's bobbly effort is tipped around the post by a sprawling Tom Heaton.

An early surprise at Carrow Road, where relegation-threatened Wigan have taken the lead against a Norwich side who had won their previous six matches. Kim Bo-Kyung has fired a shot past keeper John Ruddy from around 15 yards.

It's a great start for David Sharpe, the 23-year-old taking over the chairmanship from his grandfather Dave Whelan - who stepped down after 20 years in the role on Tuesday. Only one member of Wigan's starting line-up - defender Harry Maguire - is younger than the new chairman.

There are three other games in the Championship tonight, which are all currently goalless.

EPA

Arsenal coming into the game slowly but it's QPR who have had much the better of a cagey opening 15 minutes. Charlie Austin's shot from range the best moment so far.

KICK-OFF

Under way at Anfield...

YELLOW CARD

Cheikhou Kouyate is the first man into the book in the London derby at Upton Park, clocking Kurt Zouma with an elbow as the pair contested an aerial ball.

That was accidental rather than cynical.

Darron Gibson sees a low shot easily saved as Everton threaten at Stoke. Aaron Lennon has also started well, bright and lively against one of the sides keen to sign him in January.

Gomis incident, according to BBC local radio

BBC London 94.9

Former QPR striker Bradley Allen: "Paramedics are on, as quick as they could. There's a deafening silence here within White Hart Lane. I'm sure a number of the fans here within the ground will have their memories jogged by the Fabrice Muamba incident a few years ago. But of course, you don't want to speculate. Back with Muamba, the medical staff were quite incredible with the job they did. Remember that cardiologist who happened to be in the crowd, a spectator that afternoon? And you know, Muamba was at Wembley on Saturday afternoon.

"Gomis' eyes are open, and he's moving his head around. He's wearing an oxygen mask and he's receiving excellent support, with people all around him."

"Leicester area already sitting so, so deep..."

Steady start at Loftus Road, nothing much going on.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho makes his first foray off the bench to jeers from the West Ham fans. Not a lot to report on the pitch so far with the two teams shadow-boxing their way round each other.

Ramires has a chance to set Diego Costa running, but his pass is underhit and Winston Reid gets back to boot into the stands.

Oooof! Phil Bardsley drills in a rising shot from the edge of the box which catches team-mate Jon Walters smack bang in the crown jewels. Ouch!

Marouane Fellaini has started in midfield for Manchester United, with Wayne Rooney up front with Angel Di Maria and Ashley Young.

Tottenham defenders' heads swivel sharpish to the sidelines and they are relieved to see the linesman's flag raised.

Wayne Routledge was haring onto Jonjo Shelvey's throughball and wouldn't have been caught had he not strayed beyond the last defender....

What a fearsome strikeforce Manchester City have tonight, Sergio Aguero and Wilfried Bony. Goals there? The hosts make a fast start and have Leicester looking worried already. Corner ball...

Wilfried Bony has a header cleared.

Garry Monk has quietly been doing a very impressive job with Swansea, amassing 40 points already this season - only seven short of the club's record Premier League tally.

One person who has been less than impressed by the former defender's hard work in his wife.

Monk is missing his twins' birthday party for tonight's match. He has apparently "had it in the ear" as a result.

Seems a little harsh since this match has been scheduled for tonight since the fixtures were announced in June.

"Radamel Falcao has had a poor time by his high standards, while Marouane Fellaini will always cause problems with his height and physicality.

"For a defender, you have to hope that Manchester United try to keep the ball on the floor and don't want to knock it long. If they go aerial, Fellaini can cause all sorts of problems. Newcastle have to make sure they stick close to him, because he is strong in the air and strong on the ground."

Will continuing his current run of good form - five goals in his last eight - tonight make sure of a Merseyside move or sabotage his hopes of playing Champions League football?

Man Utd

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal on Angel Di Maria taking time to settle at Old Trafford: "Adaptation from him is the best thing. He has to realise and he is realising that. It's not a problem with him. I have to compare him with other players, that is the law of top sport."

Not bad considering Francis Coquelin was at one point the third worst player in the whole of the Bundesliga last season according to rankings from Bild newspaper during his loan spell at Freiburg.

'A strange decision'

Former Man City and England full-back Danny Mills

at Etihad Stadium for 5 live Sport

"It is a strange decision, to leave Vincent Kompany out. To have him on the bench even is odd - Pellegrini has opened himself up to all sorts of speculation. He has dropped his captain, City's best defender for three seasons. It's a big, brave call.

"Would it not have been slightly easier, with all that Manchester City are going through, to leave him out of the team and leave him out altogether? Then you can say he's been rested, or whatever. To have him on the bench is a clear indication that Kompany has been dropped."

Clutching at straws?

QPR haven't won at home since 20 December. If they could win tonight, it would see them leapfrog Aston Villa and moving back out of the relegation zone.

That's a big if though.

Rangers won just one of their last nine matches in the Premier League, have won none of their last nine Premier League London derbies and have scored just one goal in their last four Premier League home matches...

Former West Brom, Sunderland and Everton winger Kevin Kilbane

"Alex Song was really poor on Saturday against Palace. He gave the ball away really frequently. So Kevin Nolan is in just to try and solidify the midfield against such a string Chelsea side. Song has been very good this season, but he was very poor at the weekend."

The wheels have come off the Hammers' season in a spectacular way - just as speculation about Sam Allardyce's position gets really bubbling.

Chicken? Egg? Who knows...

Liverpool

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers on including Daniel Sturridge in the team: "It's a second return for Daniel because he has been out for so long, but the team have been brilliant without him so we haven't needed to rush him back. He's a top-class player and hopefully he can get some goals."

Man Utd

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal on his decision to chose Marouane Fellaini over Radamel Falcao: "We want to beat the pressure with him. We expect Newcastle to press us, so maybe with Fellaini we will beat the pressure more easily."

Can we file Falcao and Angel Di Maria under 'work in progress?'

Team News

Liverpool

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers brings striker Daniel Sturridge back into the team with Lazar Markovic dropping to the bench. That means Adam Lallana will move back into midfield.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche names an unchanged team for the fourth successive game, backing up his claim that he has one of the fittest teams in the league.

Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Can, Skrtel, Lovren, Henderson, Allen, Moreno, Lallana, Sterling, Coutinho, Sturridge

Burnley XI: Heaton; Trippier, Keane, Shackell, Mee; Kightly, Jones, Arfield, Boyd; Barnes, Ings.

Phil McNulty

BBC Sport chief football writer at the Etihad

"Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini was forced to defend himself and fight back at suggestions his job will be under threat after the loss at Anfield that followed on from the home defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League leaving him facing the prospect of no trophies this season.

"One things is certain, irrespective of Pellegrini's personal position - City simply cannot afford another slip to bottom club Leicester City here at The Etihad with Chelsea five points clear with a game in hand."

Under pressure?

Getty Images

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini says he is under no pressure from the club's owners to retain the Premier League title this season.

The champions are five points behind leaders Chelsea, who also have a game in hand, after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

"The only pressure is when I don't see my team playing like I want it to," added Pellegrini.

"Never when I sign a contract do they tell me I have to win the title every year, or five titles in five years.

"Only one team wins and that doesn't mean all the others are failures. There are different ways to analyse a season, the title is important but not the only important thing."

Manager view

PA

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho: "The players are fine, a good reaction after the League Cup final. The players are strong, we don't have a game at the weekend and they are ready for this.

"We changed Oscar for Willian because he is faster and more direct. We have the two best two goalkeepers in the country so it doesn't matter who plays. Petr Cech had the happiness of the final, so Courtois is compensated by playing in this and the Champions League."

If you keep saying it Jose it doesn't make it true. Even Petr Cech's mum has David De Gea ahead of him in her fantasy football team.

Team news

Man City

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini reacts to back-to-back defeats by making five changes to his starting line-up, with skipper Vincent Kompany dropped to the bench. Pablo Zabaleta, Samir Nasri, Fernandinho and Edin Dzeko also make way. Striker Wilfried Bony makes his first start for the club since arriving from Swansea in a deal worth up to £28m in January.

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson sticks with the same 11 that drew 2-2 at Everton last time out. Former Manchester City keeper Kasper Schmeichel is still recovering from a broken foot.

Man City: Hart, Sagna, Demichelis, Mangala, Kolarov, Yaya Toure, Fernando, Navas, Bony, Aguero, Silva

Leicester: Schwarzer, Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Upson, Konchesky, Mahrez, Cambiasso, James, Schlupp, Kramaric

What's going on at Everton?

Last year Roberto Martinez steered the Blues to fifth in the Premier League, but it's been a very different kettle of fish this time around.

Should Everton not win at the Britannia tonight, they will have the fewest points total in the Premier League era after 28 games. They've only won one of their last 10 league games.

Oh dear...

Liverpool

Daniel Sturridge starts for Liverpool - replacing Lazar Markovic in the only change from the starting XI that beat Manchester City on Sunday.

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson: "Performances have been good but we need to win games. My players are looking forward to it. What Manchester City do have is a very talented squad with a lot of depth. We have to play our own football and utilise our own possession."

Unbeaten in 11 games.

Five wins from the last six.

Twenty points from the last 24 available.

However you cut it, Liverpool are the Premier League's form team at this moment.

Brendan Rodgers has revealed that the switch to a three-man backline with Raheem Sterling as a lone frontman that has proved so successful was forced by his side's 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on 23 November.

"After that Palace game I felt that it doesn't matter how much support you have, the team is not functioning and it could not go on really," Rodgers told the Guardian.

"The transformation of the team, with everyone talking about the system and how dynamic it is, has been good to see. I should have done it earlier!"

Give me just a little more time

Empics

What do you get for £59.7m these days? In the case of British transfer record signing Angel Di Maria, not a lot.

The Argentine was a genuinely exciting addition to the Premier League when he landed in July. He'd just won the Champions League with Real Madrid and been part of the Argentina side which went all the way to the World Cup final.

Three goals in his first five games in England led us to believe that Di Maria would set the Premier League alight - but he's been snuffed out since.

Di Maria has scored once since. In the last minute at Yeovil.

"Winning when you are playing badly is the sign of good team".

An easy one to tick off on your punditry cliche bingo card, but is it true?

Manchester United are testing the theory to its limit, getting jeered by their own fans despite losing only two of their last 17 league matches.

Will their luck hold tonight?

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has picked the same starting line-up that lost Sunday's League Cup final to Chelsea.

Swansea manager Garry Monk recalls former Tottenham midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson following his recovery from a hamstring injury as the only change from the side that won 1-0 at Burnley last Saturday. Sigurdsson replaces on-loan Tottenham midfielder Tom Carroll, who can't play against his parent club.

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Walker, Dier, Vertonghen, Rose; Bentaleb, Mason; Chadli, Eriksen, Townsend; Kane. Subs: Vorm, Chiriches, Davies, Dembele, Paulinho, Lamela, Soldado

It's been a bad week for Manchester City.

Outclassed for large periods by Barcelona last Tuesday night, and undone by the high-energy outlook and long-range screamers from Liverpool on Sunday.

When times are hard you couldn't ask for a better game - on paper - than bottom of the league at home.

But in a bizarre but true quirk of fate, Leicester have won every Premier League game they've ever played at City. True.

City to get back on track? Or another nightmare?

Ipswich Town can move back into the top six of the Championship with a positive result against Leeds United at Elland Road tonight. A point will be enough to move Mick McCarthy's side into the play-off positions at the expense of Brentford.

At the other end of the table, bottom club Blackpool travel to Birmingham looking to end their sequence of six matches without a win. The fixture takes Seasiders manager Lee Clark back to his former club.

Norwich, fresh from their victory over rivals Ipswich, entertain second-bottom Wigan, while Blackburn will move above Sheffield Wednesday if they win the mid-table tussle at Hillsborough.

Squeaky at the bottom

Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood said last night that he would rather have the three points his side earned over West Brom than the £54m Euro Millions jackpot.

All very admirable, but lump the lottery money together with some parachute payments and Villa could have taken Cristiano Ronaldo down to the Championship and watched the chaos ensue.

QPR, Burnley and Leicester are all in action tonight and could do with a leg-up towards safety.

"It's hard for me to live without titles. I need to feed myself with them."

And Jose Mourinho doesn't go hungry for long.

In 14 years of management he has won 21 trophies - or one and a half a year.

He needs at least another pot from this campaign to keep his trophy hunger locked up for summer.

If his Chelsea side beat West Ham tonight and Manchester City slip up at home to Leicester, the Blues will be eight points clear with a game in hand and more than two thirds of the Premier League race run.

"Would Sir like some Brasso with that?"
