  2. Team news

    Bournemouth v Norwich (15:00 GMT)

    The interesting news from Dean Court is that Lewis Grabban is not in the Bournemouth squad to face the side he left this week. Apparently he's poorly.

    Other than that, there is one change for each side from their midweek defeats.

    Matt Ritchie has not recovered from a dead leg, so Marc Pugh replaces him in the Cherries midfield.

    Norwich midfielder Gary O'Neil was sent off against Stoke, so is suspended. In comes Matt Jarvis.

  3. Team news

    Man City v Crystal Palace (15:00 GMT)

    Manchester City give a start to young striker Kelechi Iheanacho with Sergio Aguero playing too, while Pablo Zabaleta makes his 200th appearance for the club at right back. Fabian Delph and Fernando patrol the middle.

    Man City XI

    Connor Wickham comes in up front for Crystal Palace in place of the injured Bakary Sako, but they are still missing the wizardry of Yannick Bolasie.

  4. 'You feel sorry for young Pickford...'

    Tottenham 3-1 Sunderland

    Clive Allen

    Former Tottenham & England forward at White Hart Lane for 5 live Sport

    "You feel sorry for young Jordan Pickford, who has had an outstanding performance for Sunderland. He just couldn't do anything about that. The huge deflection takes the ball right between the crossbar and the upright - an impossible one to save, with the keeper completely outwitted."  

  5. GOAL - Tottenham 3-1 Sunderland

    Christian Eriksen

    Christian Eriksen

    That could well be that at White Hart Lane. Christian Eriksen scores his second - letting fly from the edge of the area with a shot that spins off Sunderland's new German defender, Jan Kirchhoff, and flies into the net - to make it 3-1 to Spurs against Sunderland. As it stands, Tottenham are four points behind leaders Arsenal.

  6. Championship update

    Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 Leeds

    Controversy at Hillsborough. Leeds score from a free-kick and the referee gives it but then changes his mind when he discovers that a Sheffield Wednesday substitution has not been completed. Wednesday happy, Leeds fuming. And the officials are totally to blame.

    Follow that game here.

    Meanwhile, at White Hart Lane...

  7. Team news

    Newcastle v West Ham (15:00 GMT)

    Another bit of early team news... Jonjo Shelvey is straight into the Newcastle team having joined the club from Swansea for £12m this week.

  8. Team news

    Chelsea v Everton (15:00 GMT)

    We'll have full team news for the 15:00 GMT Premier League games shortly. But as a teaser, I can tell you that Oscar has been dropped by Chelsea and replaced by Nemanja Matic for their match against Everton at Stamford Bridge.

    More team news soon.

  9. GOAL - Tottenham 2-1 Sunderland

    Mousa Dembele

    Mousa Dembele

    Tottenham lead for the first time in the game as Mousa Dembele's low shot, after cutting in from the right, finds the bottom corner of the Sunderland net.

  10. 'Big 40 mins for Spurs'

    Tottenham 1-1 Sunderland

    Clive Allen

    Former Tottenham & England forward at White Hart Lane for 5 live Sport

    “It is a big 40 minutes for Spurs. It is important for Sunderland in position they are, that they hold onto a valuable point. But for Spurs if it stays like this, they will be looking over their shoulders at Manchester United and West Ham who will be looking for them to slip up.”

    James: Suarez is like Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy once bit the head off a live bat.

    Feast of Stephen: The Man Utd midfield is like One Direction as that's the only way they can pass the ball.

  12. Broad puts SA to the sword

    If you've been following this all morning, you've missed a hell of a performance by England in the cricket. Stuart Broad took five wickets for one run to help dismiss South Africa for just 83 in their second innings. England need 74 to win the match and the series.

  13. 'The paint will be peeling off!'

    Tottenham 1-1 Sunderland

    Clive Allen

    Former Tottenham & England forward at White Hart Lane for 5 live Sport

    "We have a game in the balance with the honours even at half-time. And rightly so. 

    "But Spurs' equaliser was the very worst thing that could have happened to Sunderland, straight after going in front. I know Big Sam will be livid about that - the paint will be peeling off in that Sunderland dressing room!"

  14. 'Richards shouldn't have spoken to fans'

    Aston Villa v Leicester City (17:30 GMT)

    Charlie Adam

    Stoke City midfielder on BBC Radio 5 live's weekend preview show

    Micah Richards

    "As soon as Tim Sherwood got the sack at Villa the first person I thought of was Nigel Pearson. He knows the league. He was the perfect man for the job when Tim went. Villa are struggling confidence-wise.

    "Fans are frustrated, they pay good money. They've got an opinion. You have to take it on the chin if you're not performing. As a player you don't need to say anything. 

    "Micah Richards tried to talk to the fans. It was a bad idea. Take it on the chin and move on. Villa and Newcastle, you know if you keep them quiet for the first 15 minutes - the fans will be on their back and then you're on the ascendancy."

  15. 'Villa revival looks unlikely'

    Aston Villa v Leicester City (17:30 GMT)

    Nigel Pearson

    Former Leicester manager on BBC Radio 5 live's weekend preview show

    "Villa need to transform their form. To do that you need to have everyone in the camp pulling in the same direction. The difference is last season at Leicester we weren't outplayed on too many occasions. 

    "We were being beaten by the odd goal. We played some really good football. I don't think anyone would be able to recognise too much of a difference in terms of confidence at any stage during the season.

    "What happened last season was phenomenal really. It doesn't sound to me from the outside that Villa have what it takes to replicate that."

  16. GOAL - Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 Leeds

    Gary Hooper

    Make that two goals in the Championship. And two goals to Gary Hooper. He won't score two easier goals. The first was a tap-in from a yard and this is another tap-in from a bit further out after Leeds keeper Marco Silvestri spills a Fernando Forestieri shot.

    Which musicians would you compare to footballers?

    Dan Bacon: Jose Mourinho has to the footballing Justin Bieber. You want to hate him but you can't because of his achievements.

  18. GOAL - Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 Leeds

    Gary Hooper

    And now we have a goal in the early Championship game. It has gone to the home side and Gary Hooper has scored it. 

  19. Townsend to Newcastle?

    Ian Dennis

    BBC Radio 5 live senior football reporter

    "Newcastle and Tottenham are in talks, albeit at a very early stage over Andros Townsend.

    "Newcastle approached Spurs yesterday about his availability and are now weighing up a bid for permanent transfer."

  20. 'It probably is time for Andros to move on'

    Tottenham 0-0 Sunderland

    Clive Allen

    Former Tottenham & England forward at White Hart Lane for 5 live Sport

    Andros Townsend

    "Andros Townsend is the subject of some interest from Newcastle. He's been frustrated with a lack of football this season, and it probably is time for Andros to move on. But of course it all depends on the right fee..."  

    Speaking of which...
