    "Liverpool are dominating so far, but without really hurting Leicester, and we all know how incisive Claudio Ranieri's side can be on the counter attack."

    Tottenham 0-0 Norwich

    Norwich continue to shine. Robbie Brady has a shot saved by Hugo Lloris and Cameron Jerome then heads wide. A shock on the cards?

    Liverpool 0-0 Leicester

    It's Liverpool's second shot of the game and it's Philippe Coutinho again - this time he blazes wide.

    And Adam Lallana has their third, for a second it looks like he's scored the opener here after he beats the offside trap but slams his shot into the side-netting. 

  5. Sterling puts Man City aheadpublished at 15:15

    Man City 1-0 Sunderland

    Find the big man in the box and he will score. Aleksandar Kolarov's cross from the left is awful and Kevin de Bruyne does well to keep it in. His cross is much better - as you'd expect - and Raheem Sterling (5ft 7in) outjumps Billy Jones (6ft) in the air to head home.

    Stoke 2-0 Man Utd

    Manchester United

    Louis van Gaal, speaking to Sky Sports: "They score out of a free-kick, then at half time we spoke with each other and the second half was much better but still we have created one or two chances, you have to score though. 

    "The problem is we don't dare to play, that is my analysis.

    "I tried to do everything but the pressure every match will be higher and higher.

    "It is more difficult because I am also part of the four matches that we have lost so people are looking at me. I have to deal with that but more importantly the players have to deal with that because they have to perform.

    Asked about whether he felt people were still behind him, Van Gaal added: "It is another situation. We have lost the fourth game, we have to wait and see."

  7. 'Myhill was unlucky'published at 15:14 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2015

    Swansea 1-0 West Brom

    Jason Roberts
    Former West Brom striker on Football Focus

    "You could be harsh on Boaz Myhill here but he was a bit unlucky - the ball hit him on the back of the head as he spun round to look for hit. 

    "The goalkeepers' union will protect him, but once he gets his hand on it, you don't expect the ball to bounce back out."

    Aston Villa 0-0 West Ham

    Err, it's not great at Villa Park so far. Slaven Bilic is a man happy with a 0-0 as his best players recover from injury. And are Villa capable of doing anything about it?

  10. Swans score today's first goalpublished at 15:10

    Swansea 1-0 West Brom

    Angel Rangel gets into the box for Swansea, his shot smacks off the post and off the back of Boaz Myhill's head - and Ki Sung-yueng taps in the rebound.

    "Chelsea have been impressive at the start. They look strong and positive. Meanwhile, Riyad Mahrez has caused a couple of problems for Leicester against Liverpool."

  12. CLOSE!published at 15:09

    Bournemouth 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Palace are knocking on the door! First Fraizer Campbell's cross from the left is deflected on to the roof of the net, and then Damien Delaney has a volley from the corner well saved.

    Liverpool 0-0 Leicester

    Leicester are starting to find a bit of space down their right-hand side (Alberto Moreno's wing) - first Riyad Mahrez puts in a cross which Mamadou Sakho clears, and then Jamie Vardy doing something similar.

    Mahrez - possibly the player of the season so far - could have a field day against Moreno here.

    Chelsea 0-0 Watford

    Diego Costa has headed over Chelsea's best early opening. Will Chelsea return to the form of old under Guus Hiddink?

  16. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:05

    Tottenham 0-0 Norwich

    Good save sir! Hugo Lloris down sharply to paw out a stinging drive from Norwich's Vadis Odjidja Ofoe! Good start from the men in green.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:05

    Man City 0-0 Sunderland

    Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling goes down in the box following Billy Jones' tackle. The referee blows, surely a penalty. 

    Nope he's booked Sterling for diving and it's a free out. There was definitely contact even though the England international was probably looking for it. Lucky escape for the Black Cats.

  18. ouch!

    Aston Villa 0-0 West Ham

    A real headbanger to start your Boxing Day. James Tomkins goes forehead to forehead with Alan Hutton as they go up for a header and it's a monumental, accidental collision. Blood, treatment. Ouch.

    Liverpool 0-0 Leicester

    Philippe Coutinho gets the ball out on Liverpool's left wing from Alberto Moreno's charge forward. The Brazilian cuts inside and curls his right-footed effort just wide of Kasper Schmeichel's far post. 

    A decent effort from Liverpool's number 10.

    Man City 0-0 Sunderland

    Manchester City have started brightly, they've been in behind Sunderland's defence twice in the opening two minutes but neither attack has come to anything.
