Ominous signs for Burnley. They know how important a win could in the battle against the drop but it is Swansea looking the more threatening. The visitors are yet to create anything worthwhile but there are signs it is coming.

"Yes the referee was correct to rule that one of for offside (see 15:15) but Gabriel Agbonlahor and Christian Benteke combined well in the build-up. We haven't seen them playing up front together very much this season. Encouraging signs for Aston Villa."

Southampton fans aren't happy as they accuse West Brom of time-wasting tactics. Bit early for all that nonsense isn't it? Not sure their shouts are justified either.

Wayne Rooney is back up front in his favoured position, but it is another England forward who looks likeliest to net the opener. Moments after Rooney sloppily gives away the ball on the edge of the Sunderland box, the predatory Jermain Defoe sniffs out an opportunity at the other end. The Black Cats striker fancies his chances from distance, but home keeper David De Gea is square behind the ball to gather.

Not a lot to report from St. James' Park. Gabriel Agbonlahor has had the ball in the net but he was offside when Christian Benteke's header reached him. That's about it.

The Baggies have lost just one of nine league and cup matches under Tony Pulis and they certainly look a team full of confidence. Saido Berahino continues to cause the Saints problems and it is all one-way traffic.

"A real chance for Sunderland (see 15:07). Manchester United got themselves into a mess, allowing Connor Wickham to run about 40 yards with the ball - Jonny Evans should have closed him down earlier. David De Gea managed to get a finger down to tip the ball round the post though. United have not sorted their line of three at the back, they're untidy."

Kick-off has been delayed at the Goldsands Stadium in the Championship until 15:30 GMT due to a road accident on the A338.

Back come Manchester United after that early scare (see 15:07). Some last-ditch defending from Black Cats full-back Anthony Reveillere prevents Marcos Rojo bundling in a left-wing cross, before Ashley Young sends a vicious shot whistling over the crossbar.

Edgy stuff at Turf Moor in the opening 10 minutes. Both sides sizing each other up and little to talk about so far.

Quiet start at the Britannia where old Manchester United team-mates Mark Hughes and Steve Bruce go head to head. The earliest sign of a chance falls to Stoke, Steven Nzonzi firing wide. But there's some bad news for Hull boss Bruce. Egypt wing-back Ahmed Elmohamady pulls up with an injury and needs treatment.

Saido Berahino looks so sharp. The striker bursts towards Southampton's goal, slips Brown Ideye in but his shot is blocked by a couple of Saints defenders. The visitors look rattled.

There was a huge standing ovation before kick off at Newcastle United for substitute Jonas Gutierrez, who is involved in the the first team for the first time in 17 months after battling cancer.

The hosts are yet to get going on the field though.

Warning sign for Manchester United. Louis van Gaal's side are left horribly exposed at the back as Sunderland counter when Angel Di Maria is dispossessed.

Connor Wickham surges forward, has Jermain Defoe to his right, but goes for glory himself. Wickham's low shot almost sneaks in the corner, but United keeper David De Gea is alert to push clear.

Moments later, Defoe blazes over from the edge of the area. Van Gaal has a bemused, almost shocked, smile.

A decent start by Burnley and George Boyd has a shot on the turn saved by goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.

"It was a sensational finish by Saido Berahino. But the ball travels a mile from the West Brom free-kick. It travels 40-50 yards. Southampton win the header but don't pick up the second ball. You've got to pick up the second ball."

Villa have started brightly and Daryl Janmaat was forced to clear behind his own goal from Christian Benteke's teasing cross as Scott Sinclair was lurking at the back post.

Sunderland defender John O'Shea sees the back of Wayne Rooney's shirt as the Manchester United skipper leaves him for dust. I suspect that was a regular occurrence in United training sessions when the pair were team-mates.

That leads to a flurry of home corners, with Rooney going close with a near-post header from Angel Di Maria's centre. Positive start from the home team.

"Saido Berahino has got that quality. A lot of people were saying he might go in the January transfer window, possibly to finance one or two arrivals, but they've kept him there and he's done a great job. Fraser Forster couldn't do anything about that one."

Scenes at West Brom as the hosts take the lead in the first attack of the game. Chris Brunt's free kick was half cleared by Maya Yoshida and Saido Berahino was on hand to rifle the rebound into the top corner from 10 yards. A stunning strike with his first touch.
