Newcastle had to do something. They send on Siem de Jong for Papiss Cisse. Striker for striker.

Breaks over. Time to get this show on the road again.

Foxes manager Claudio Ranieri has decided that he's seen enough after that dire first-half display. Winger Marc Albrighton, who was sizzling at the start of the season, comes on.

Wycombe midfielder Matt Bloomfield has given his side a surprise lead at leaders Leyton Orient. 

Second-place Plymouth are goalless with Bristol Rovers, while third-place Portsmouth are a goal down at Oxford United . 

Northampton could move into the top six - they are winning 2-0 at Morecambe.

Lowly Newport, with only one point to their name,are 0-0 at Dagenham & Redbridge.

This is Saido Berahino's first start for West Brom since all that commotion on transfer deadline day, and it is turning into a day of firsts for the Baggies striker...

As you can see from his touch-map below, Berahino's first touch inside the Villa area was his first effort on goal in the first half, and resulted in his first goal since implying he would go on strike, which was also the first goal of the game.

I wonder if he can replicate it with his second touch in the second half?

Tom in Kent: Really could be all change in the North East next season. Newcastle and Sunderland swapping places with Middlesbrough? That would be the ultimate changing of the guard.

Adam: Is anyone really surprised at Newcastle's current plight? A poor team with no history of success and a manager who has failed in almost every job he has had isn't going to be a glorious marriage, is it?

Some fans are getting creative in venting their anger at Mike Dean's performance during the Chelsea v Arsenal game...

Final Score

"Of course he's seen it. I think Mourinho has a laptop and watches the game almost four or five seconds behind it. He knows exactly what's gone on. But he's not going to say it. He is going to defend his player. 

"A ridiculous series of incidents that lead to the sending off. Costa I think was very very fortunate. The actual sending off, the straight red card, I think is ridiculous. It's not dangerous, it's not hurting anyone". 

A Wigan season-ticket holder has given the Latics the lead at home to Fleetwood . His name is Jordan Flores, external who grabbed his first goal for the club prompting chants of "He's one of our own". 

Leaders Gillingham are losing 2-1 at Colchester , second-place Walsall are 0-0 at Peterborough and  Burton , in third, are leading  Swindon 1-0. 

Bottom side Crewe , with only two points from seven games, are winning 1-0 at Shrewsbury .

Bournemouth are having plenty of fun in the sun. Sunderland are wilting. Two early goals from Callum Wilson and Matt Ritchie mean the Cherries are set to pop their home top-flight, er, cherry.

If Swansea v Everton isn't worth staying up for MOTD, then Ritchie's goal is. A worldy.

Not much to report from the Liberty Stadium. Everton have had the best of it, but at the moment this is heading for a late slot on Match of the Day.

Newcastle have now gone 447 minutes without a goal. They haven't had any problems conceding them, though. Not today. Watford have broken with pace and precision and, in Odion Ighalo, have a man in the form of his life. 

Leaders Brighton are still 0-0 at Wolves . QPR,  who started the match in eighth place, are level at 1-1 with Hull. Charlie Austin scored again for the Hoops only for Michael Dawson to equalise. Reading are leading struggling Bristol City 2-0. Sheffield Wednesday , who face Newcastle in the League Cup in midweek, lead Fulham 2-1.

If you wanted graphical proof of how Swansea are struggling to get into the final third of the pitch against Everton, let alone the Toffees penalty area, then check out the heatmap on the left below. 

Everton (on the right) are doing rather better - and you can see how Tyias Browning is helping them threaten down the right with his galloping runs forward.

The Villa fans are heading down for their half-time pie with glum expressions. Unfortunately, they're used to seeing their side struggling at Villa Park. The Villains have won just 17 times in their last 72 home matches.

That Claudio Ranieri is usually a cheery-looking chap. Not at the moment. The bespectacled Italian strides off down the Britannia touchline with a face like thunder. At least he won't have to dip in his wallet for pizza tonight...

Very quiet at the Britannia. Apart from the noise created by the home fans who are buzzing about their team's first-half display.  

A minute to half-time and not much happening as Stoke look to protect their lead to the break. They are looking comfortable.

Newcastle are looking to finish the half strongly to get a foothold in the game but Watford are defending in numbers. The home side force a couple of corners but the Hornets do enough to get both away. Half-time looming.
