Leaders Brighton are still being held 0-0 by Wolves.

Victory for  Hull would see them take third spot, but they remain 1-1 with QPR. Leeds look set to move a few places up the table - they lead 2-0 at MK Dons.

Sheffield Wednesday now lead Fulham 3-1. Blackburn could be set for their first win of the campaign - they lead Charlton 1-0 thanks to Jordan Rhodes' effort.

Stoke are still leading - just. Because they wouldn't be if it wasn't for their keeper Jack Butland. The England man - statistically Europe's busiest keeper this season - drops low to his left to block Leicester forward Jamie Vardy's attempt to drill one inside his post.

Everton respond to the Swansea free-kick with another chance of their own as Romelu Lukaku sees the ball float to him in the box following a deflection and has two chances to hit it but fluffs both.

Sigurdsson whips the free-kick round the wall but into the side-netting.

"Derbies are not just normal games," said Villa boss Tim Sherwood ahead of today's match. "It's a lot more than that - local pride and bragging rights."

Well, his team's supporters are going to be getting some stick when they turn up to work on Monday - unless Villa buck up their ideas.

The home side have improved since the break, Carlos Sanchez and Carlos Gil having shots, but at the other end Brad Guzan almost fumbles an effort from Salomon Rondon, who creates space with a sharp turn away from Joleon Lescott.

Swansea have a chance here as Gareth Barry pulls down Kyle Naughton on the edge of the box. Gylfi Sigurdsson is over the free-kick...

Great chance for Romelu Lukaku to break the deadlock at Swansea but after running on to a Gareth Barry through-ball he hacks his shot over the bar with just the keeper to beat. That is three great chances spurned by the away side this half.

"I think Lens is level and Sunderland have been treated harshly there. That was a perfectly good goal."

Dick Advocaat is not amused. Or at least he won't be when he sees this replay. Jeremain Lens believes he has given the visitors a foothold back in this game, stealing in at the back post to nod in Yann M'Vila's floated left-wing cross. But the celebrations are cut short by the linesman's flag. An incorrect flag in our opinion. Lens appears to be level with the home defensive line.

Newcastle corner. Florian Thauvin delivers but Watford head clear. Frustration growing both on and off the pitch at St James'. The home side desperately need a goal.

Now Brendan Galloway has an effort for Everton after being found in the box by Ross Barkley and turning his man, but he drags his shot across goal and wide. The Toffees have started this half very well and should be ahead.

Oh Arouna Kone! Get something on that, anything! Ross Barkley's low cross zips towards the striker, who is completely unmarked six yards out but he cannot get anything on it. In fact, it nutmegged him! Best chance so far.

Swansea's Andre Ayew - his nose stitched up after a clash of heads with Phil Jagielka earlier in the game - rises to meet a cross but glances his header wide of goal.

Oooh hello! Stoke forward Marko Arnautovic is caught the wrong side by Leicester defender Ritchie De Laet as he bursts into the box. Referee Andre Marriner takes his time before pointing to the spot.

Also a change at Villa Park. Forward Scott Sinclair is the man who is hooked, Rudy Gestede heading on to bring a hefty presence up front to Tim Sherwood's side as they chase a leveller.
