    Reading 0-0 Everton

    Almost an opener for Reading and it would have been a stunner. Aaron Tshibola shoots towards the top corner from 25 yards but goalkeeper Joel Robles turns it wide.

    Sorry Birmingham fans - you've been on top so far but the history books don't bode well.

    Villa have been poor. Birmingham have been so comfortable in possession. Gleeson is winning the midfield battle against Westwood."

    Reading 0-0 Everton

    Reading will be growing in confidence the longer this match goes on. They are more than holding their own - don't forget this match kicked off 15 minutes later than elsewhere.

  5. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:32

    The half-time whistles are being blown around the country.

    Aston Villa are booed off as the Birmingham fans serenade them with a rendition of 'that's why you're going down!'

    Preston 0-1 Bournemouth

    BBC Sport's Paul Fletcher at Deepdale: "A decent half of football draws to a close with Bournemouth just about deserving their lead. They worked the keeper more than their opponents  managed and looked a little more purposeful in the final third. Fair to say that the entertainment levels - and the ire of the home fans - might be a little higher in Sunderland right now."

    Preston 0-1 Bournemouth

    Simon Francis almost doubles Bournemouth's lead as his shot from the edge of the penalty area is deflected over the bar. Preston still well in this though.

    Sunderland 0-4 Man City

    So close. Sergio Aguero chases the ball over the top, three Sunderland defenders - including goalkeeper Vito Mannone miss it -  but his shot is somehow cleared off the line as Sebastian Coates and DeAndre Yedlin. It really should be 5-0.

    Reading 0-0 Everton

    Gerard Deulofeu is giving the Reading full-backs a tough time early on. His low cross finds Arouna Kone at the near post but his shot is blocked.   

    Reading having the better chances through Nick Blackman though...

    Fulham 0-1 Stoke

    No response from Fulham as yet to going behind.

    Albert Adomah (37 mins)

    The Ghana winger Albert Adomah may have handed in a transfer request before the close of the transfer window but he is back in the good books for Middlesbrough as he opens the scoring. He picks the ball up inside the penalty area, turns, and drills a shot into the bottom corner.

  13. One striker, nine minutes, five goalspublished at 20:23

    What is going on in Munich?

    Bayern trailed Wolfsburg 1-0 at the break so introduced Robert Lewandowski. You could say the striker has justified his manger's decision by scoring five (FIVE!) in nine minutes to give the Bundesliga champions a 5-1 lead. Remarkable. He'll probably start at the weekend.

    You can follow that game here.

    Aston Villa 0-0 Birmingham

    The Championship side continue to impress. Villa do not.

    Gabby Agbonlahor has just pulled up too, a calf strain? Cramp?

    Jack Grealish is warming up.

    Raheem Sterling (36 mins)

    This is turning into a horror show for Sunderland but how good has Kevin de Bruyne been? Very is the answer.

    The Belgian slips Raheem Sterling through on goal and he finishes brilliantly with the inside of his right foot. Class finish.

    Peter Crouch (33 mins)

    Peter Crouch puts Stoke ahead - and it is NOT a header. He plays a neat one-two in midfield and outpaces the centre-half to get there and steer home from 12 yards.

    Get him back in the England squad Roy...

    Vito Mannone (33 mins OG)

    When your luck is in, your luck is in. First a penalty, then Sunderland have a goal disallowed and then City get a third via a fluke.

    Raheem Sterling should slot the ball home from 10 yards, his efforts hits the post, cannons off the back of goalkeeper Vito Mannone and rebounds back into the net.

    Game over. Isn't it?

    Preston 0-1 Bournemouth

    Preston are refusing to be beaten. They may have gone behind, somewhat against the run of play, but Will Keane goes close again with a blocked shot.

    Villa are so compact. You could throw a blanket over the three midfielders. Where's the width? The game is passing Ashley Westwood by, and Birmingham are the better side."

    Aston Villa 0-0 Birmingham

    Slack touch from Joleon Lescott triggers a neat attack from Birmingham which comes to nothing in the end. But it does get the home fans going, and not in a positive way. Villa look half asleep in a local derby - that won't do.
