League One leaders Scunthorpe are going for a sixth win on the trot and are in front against Oxford, while second-placed Sheffield United lead at Charlton.

Northampton, who are on a run of three-straight defeats, trail at home to Bolton Wanderers, Zach Clough putting the visitors ahead.

Chesterfield, whose midweek win against MK Dons saw them climb off the bottom of the League One table, are 2-1 up against Bristol Rovers thanks to goals from Ian Evatt and James O'Shea.

Fellow strugglers Coventry City and MK Dons are locked at 1-1.

And play-off hopefuls Fleetwood Town have taken the lead against AFC Wimbledon after Cian Bolger's close-range header.

And this is the view from the press box at Macclesfield...

Man City manager Pep Guardiola on how hard his side had to work for their win: "It has been the same for Arsenal, Liverpool and all the teams who have come here - it is so complicated. 

"I have to learn how to control the second balls because in Spain and Germany teams do not play long or with these flat balls and crosses with the same intensity, or so frequently as Burnley did.

"Burnley were taller and stronger than us so it was very hard for us to deal with, but generally it was a very good performance from us, especially because it came just two days after we played in the Champions League. All of our players showed huge character and we are so happy because this week was very important for us. 

"The other thing I have to learn about English football is the referees. Sometimes it is a foul, sometimes it isn't. I am not judging them but it is simple like that - here it is completely different to different countries."

Liverpool have huffed and puffed but Sunderland's house just won't blow down. Frustration for the home side but half a job done for the visitors.

Gylfi Sigurdsson's superb free-kick ensures we have parity at the Liberty Stadium following Wilfried Zaha's opener. Palace have also hit the bar. More goals in this I suspect.

I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of this shot from Dejan Lovren. The defender absolutely belts an effort from 30 yards that has Jordan Pickford diving but flies just past the outside of the post and into the cowering crowd behind the goal.

A cracking day for the Baggies so far. They're seventh in the 'as it stands' table.

Emre Can? No, he can't. Still there is no way through for Liverpool. The sheer number of Sunderland bodies in and around the box keeps them at bay until a chipped cross is headed wide from deep in the box by the midfielder.

Slow start by Leicester as they struggle to shrug off a Champions League hangover before ending the half strongly.

Little sign of Hull getting back into this. In fact the hosts are fortunate not to be further behind after Craig Dawson's header flashes just wide.

Many of you concerned for Coutinho... perhaps not for the most compassionate reasons. 

Jibin Mathew George: There go my Fantasy Football points. Come back soon, Coutinho.

Kartik Venkat: I am in tears over my decision to triple captain Coutinho. 

Johnny Magrinho: Changed captain from Coutinho to Firmino only last night. Masterstroke decision, clearly.

Liverpool continue to dominate possession at Anfield but they are not testing Jordan Pickford anywhere near as much as they or their fans would like. Seven shots so far from the home side, only two on target.

Brilliant challenge by Gaston Ramirez inside the area to deny Jamie Vardy what looked like a certain goal following Shinji Okazaki's clever pass. Leicester are much brighter since equalising.

Championship leaders Newcastle are going for 10 straight wins but are being held by Blackburn, while second-placed Brighton are behind at home after a Kevin McDonald goal for Fulham.

High-flying Reading are 2-0 up against Bristol City, with Garath McCleary and Roy Beerens getting the goals.

There is some relief for under-pressure Mick McCarthy at Portman Road - Grant Ward has given Ipswich the lead against QPR.

Clayton Donaldson has put Birmingham 1-0 up at Brentford from the penalty spot, while fellow Midlanders Aston Villa are being held 1-1 by Cardiff.

Struggling Wolves, meanwhile, are 2-0 down to Sheffield Wednesday.

Swansea go close as Wayne Routledge's angled shot - following a Gylfi Sigurdsson free-kick - flies over the bar.

Coutinho has gone off and it's not looking good at all. He was writhing in agony there and waved at the bench straight away. 

I'm speculating here but it looks like a really bad injury - possibly a broken foot or, at best a twisted ankle. 

That's a massive shame because he is a player Liverpool cannot be without.

Hull started well but, just like their season, they have faded and find themselves behind. Lots of work to do to avoid an eighth defeat in nine league games.
