    Man Utd 0-0 Norwich

    Norwich have had just 28% of the possession in this testing opening 20 minutes but as plenty of teams will tell you, that means nothing at Old Trafford this year.

    Norwich do put their first attack together and Alex Tettey scuffs a left-footed shot wide form 20 yards.

    Stoke 0-0 Crystal Palace

    It's not a classic in the Potteries.

    A clash of two in-form teams... but we are seeing little evidence of that so far.

    The proverbial 'stinker' so far.

    Southampton 0-0 Tottenham

    Christian Eriksen has hit a speculator well wide for Spurs but it's the home side who remain in the driving seat(s). A test of Spurs' ambitions this afternoon?

    West Brom 0-0 Bournemouth

    Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Manchester United and Chelsea, Bournemouth are looking full of purpose.

    Neat, intricate, passing football from the Cherries that West Brom are struggling to deal with.

    Everton 0-0 Leicester

    Plenty of England players on display today and Roy Hodgson is in the stands, sitting alongside the former Mrs. Les Dennis, Amanda Holden.

    Man Utd 0-0 Norwich

    Juan Mata runs at the Norwich defence, they back off in fear and Mata slips it to Wayne Rooney, instant left-footed shot bobbles wide from 22 yards. All United, no shots on target yet.

    Former Man City defender, Final Score

    "Chelsea look a different side. They are playing with a fast tempo. Oscar just tried an audacious cross, something we were not seeing under Mourinho. 

    "Looking at this, it's clear the players just weren't playing for Jose. They were unprofessional."

    Chelsea 2-0 Sunderland

    This is looking horrible for Sunderland.

    Chelsea are all over them and the Black Cats don't look as though they will be climbing out of the relegation zone today...

    League One

    Not a good start for returning Burton boss Nigel Clough, as the League One leaders trail Doncaster after a seventh goal in nine games from Andy Williams. Struggling Blackpool lead play-off chasing Peterborough thanks to Mark Cullen, who followed up to score after his penalty was saved. Crewe's bid to climb off the foot of the table received a boost thanks to a goal from Ryan Lowe, but Fleetwood quickly levelled through David Ball.

    Chris Sutton

    "For these Chelsea players to turn up and play at this tempo today just shows how disgraceful they have been so far this season."

    Chelsea 2-0 Sunderland

    Chelsea are enjoying themselves.

    Branislav Ivanovic whips in a low cross from the right, it cannons off Sebastian Coates and Pedro rifles the ball into the net from inside the penalty area.

    Jose Mourinho, if he is watching somewhere, must be thinking 'why couldn't they do this for me?"

    The fans are asking the same question in song. Mourinho's continues to be sung by the fans.

    Everton 0-0 Leicester

    In-form Everton are giving even-more-in-form Leicester a working over in these opening stages but here's the first sight of Jamie Vardy. He glides past players, even the mighty John Stones, with ease but he can't quite find a team-mate at the end of it. 

    Two of the best counter-attacking sides in the trade going at it toe-to-toe. Pace!

    Man Utd 0-0 Norwich

    Wayne Rooney toe-bungs the ball into the bottom corner after a decent move for Manchester United - but he and Marouane Fellaini are clearly offside.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:09 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2015

    Southampton 0-0 Tottenham

    Southampton cut through Spurs again, Dusan Tadic down the left to find Sadio Mane in the 'D', he hits it first time at a good height for a keeper, and Hugo Lloris obliges with a flying save to his right/. Great start from the hosts.

    "It's interesting that Hiddink is watching on with Drogba sitting next to him...

    "But that is a great corner, and how often have we seen the likes of Ivanovic score crucial goals for Chelsea? He's done it again."

    Stoke 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace start brightly.

    They are having plenty of possession but, as yet, very few chances. 

    This well get better.
