    As half-time whistles blow, referees get us back up and running in our three 'early' games.

    And that is that for the first half. Swansea enjoyed the majority of possession, West Brom enjoyed the better chances with Salomon Rondon twice going clear.

    GOAL - Crystal Palace 0-1 Man Utdpublished at 20:46 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    Paul Pogba (45 mins)

    Paul Pogba puts Manchester United into the lead, although some Crystal Palace defenders think he's offside. A free-kick is put into the box, which Zlatan Ibrahimovic knocks on with his chest - or was it his hand? - and the most expensive footballer of all time turns it home from about six yards out.

    Tottenham 1-0 Hull

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:46 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd

    Crystal Palace defender Martin Kelly joins Marcos Rojo in the book after catching Daley Blind. It was on the lower end of the yellow spectrum, compared to Rojo.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:43 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    Man City 1-0 Watford

    Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan limps off after picking up an injury and is replaced by Fernando. The German's recent struggles have coincided exactly with him joining my fantasy football team.

    Did Man Utd's Rojo deserve a red card for his tackle on Wilfried Zaha?

    Peter Collins: Rojo should seen red there. Awful tackle. Again. Not learning.

    Richard: Rojo two footed again. When are refs going to grow a pair and send him off for it?

    Stephen James: Rojo should've been sent off there. Another two-footed tackle which Zaha did well to ride.Shocking challenge!

    Jay: Rojo you lucky boy!! He needs to stop doing 2 footed tackles. Got away with that one.

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd

    Manchester United are starting to dominate in terms of chances and Paul Pogba's volley is saved by a lunging Wayne Hennessey.

  11. CLOSE!published at 20:42 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    Tottenham 1-0 Hull

    Jan Vertonghen with a wonder goal? Almost! The Spurs defender slaloms his way past the entire Hull defence and gets a shot away but it's well blocked by a sliding Curtis Davies.

    Man City 1-0 Watford

    Manchester City are looking comfortable against Watford after taking the lead. Although we've said that before this season and they've been pegged back.

    That is why you want Rooney in central areas. 

    It was fantastic movement in behind and he was unlucky with the shot.

    Man Utd will miss Mkhitaryan's positive play. They are already looking quite flat. Lots of sideways passes already.

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:39 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd

    Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo hacks down Wilfried Zaha with a two-footed tackle after the former England winger skinned Michael Carrick for pace.

    From the free-kick, James McArthur lashes wide at the far post.

    Stoke 0-0 Southampton

    Stoke are down to 10 men and they may have more problems now as giant centre-back Bruno Martins Indi goes down and needs lengthy treatment. He fell like a mighty oak. 

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:38 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    West Brom 0-0 Swansea

    "Thank you, Lukasz Fabianski," Swansea's outfield players will say at half-time to their goalkeeper as the Pole's feet keep out what would have been a certain goal. 

    Nyom charges through midfield before finding Nacer Chadli, who sets up Salomon Rondon for the Baggies' first true effort on goal.

    Manchester United have some good players but there is a fragmented look about them.

    They have too many people that are not quite playing in the right position.

    Pep Guardiola enjoyed that.

    As Pablo Zabaleta's shot hit the net, he swivelled round in his technical area and seemed to do a fist pump. I say seemed because his hands were in his pockets.

    What he definitely did was pick out a friendly face higher up in the stadium to his right, raised his right arm, clenched his fist and saluted whoever it was three times.

    Now all City need to do is keep their third clean sheet of the season.

    Paul Pogba clips a ball over the top and Wayne Rooney swivels and shoots on the bounce but Wayne Hennessey saves.

    Maybe United's best chance.

    A couple of minutes ago, Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a shot deflected wide.
