Winston Reid comes back on for West Ham. Relief for the Hammers fans.

Liverpool, in a fluorescent yellow away kit, attack down the right but Nathaniel Clyne's cross on the run is too strong for the rest of his team-mates.

West Ham have their first chance of the game as the two heading specialists combine. Michail Antonio crosses it to Andy Carroll but the big man, maybe rusty having not started a game since August, heads wide from close range. Should have done better.

And now Winston Reid is down injured after getting a bit of a clattering. The Hammers defender is getting some treatment.

Colin Todd: Amazing the criticism Mignolet still gets from fans. How many times did he play behind Moreno and makeshift defence?

Nick Hughes: Karius will be one of the best keepers. Mignolet does not have Klopp's confidence or he'd have played more games.

John O'Shea wins his first aerial challenge up against Diego Costa - a solid start for the hosts.

We are under way in our three earlier games tonight:

Middlesbrough 0-0 Liverpool

Sunderland 0-0 Chelsea

West Ham 0-0 Burnley 

West Ham are having a minute's applause for club legend Peter Brabrook.

The 79-year-old passed away at the weekend after a short illness.

Brabrook made 215 appearances with the club, scoring 43 goals, and also played for Chelsea, Charlton and Leyton Orient.

He also became known for his work with West Ham's academy, where he scouted and coached players including Joe Cole, Michael Carrick and Frank Lampard.

Ed Quoththeraven: With regard to Wayne Rooney's beard, is it real or from the same place as his hair?  

A question we'll make sure our chief football writer Phil McNulty asks post-match.

Here come the sides in our three 19:45 GMT kick-offs...

Mark going for the value over time equation there. My wife told me the same theory about a dining room table but she's already on about changing it...

Wayne Rooney is sporting an impressive beard tonight. Maybe he's not shaving until he breaks Bobby Charlton's Manchester United scoring record. A reminder that he is one goal off equalling BC's 249.

A fine effort spotted in the stands at the Stadium of Light - a gentleman in a proper 'Russian' hat. This picture is not actually from tonight, for illustrative purposes only.

I've never solved the problem of cold feet at football. Any tips?

Manchester United will be growing to seriously dislike London traffic - they arrived just less than an hour before kick-off at Crystal Palace.

Kick-offs were delayed at both Spurs and West Ham United last season because they arrived late and they were cutting it fine again here tonight.

Roads leading into Selhurst Park from miles around have been choked for some time, not just because of the usual match traffic but also because of a train strike.

Jose Mourinho led his players into Selhurst Park and now he will hope they are not affected by the disrupted build-up.

Manchester City were shambolic against Leicester. The system Pep Guardiola employed beggared belief. He has been guilty of asking his players to do jobs that they don't look comfortable doing.

Guardiola can question the style of play in England but he has to get his own house sorted first.

They were wide open. It was very strange.

Manchester City

Pep Guardiola was wearing that familiar terse/quizzical expression he always wears during interviews as he was questioned in the Etihad tunnel by Match of the Day's Steve Wilson.

Are you surprised by the reaction to the Leicester defeat by the media? 

"No."

Do you think it was an overreaction?

"No. It was the same in Spain and Germany. They can say what they want."

Next question...

By his own admission, Pep Guardiola is a man under pressure but the Manchester City boss is stressing the positives in his programme notes.

"I know it is not easy for supporters to see the positives when we lose," he said, recalling Saturday's 4-2 defeat at Leicester.

"It is easy to criticise after a defeat but we are in the top four, only seven points off the top and we are also in the last 16 of the Champions League.

"I remain confident we can have a big season."

As I write, Simon Mignolet is warming up by working on his goal kicks. He's running up, booting the ball up to halfway. After each blow his arms droop to his sides. He looks as relaxed as a lion after a big meal.

Dhru Patel: If there's a game in the Premier League that Middlesbrough will score a few, it's against Liverpool's shaky backline.

Samuel Oj: Never thought I'd see Joe Allen keeping a player like Bojan out of a team... well played son.

Jonny Duchezeau: Sunderland playing 4 CB's and then 2 full-backs. How imaginative... talk about playing for a draw.
