  1. KICK-OFFpublished at 21:01 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    And we are back up and running at Crystal Palace, Man City, Stoke, Tottenham and West Brom...

    Middlesbrough 0-1 Liverpool

    Sadio Mane and Divock Origi both look to be in on goal but the offside flag is up. Mane is terrorising the Boro backline though.

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic was not marked and that is why Palace have been punished.

    There was an element of offside but Palace will be disappointed.

  4. Ilkay's injury illspublished at 21:00 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    Ilkay Gundogan looked in a fair bit of discomfort as he walked down the tunnel just then.

    It is to be hoped the damage is not too bad for the Germany midfielder, who has had more than his fair share of injuries already.

    A back injury sustained on international duty in August 2013 kept him out for 13 months and his Manchester City debut was delayed by a month when he dislocated his knee cap at the beginning of May.

    HT: Crystal Palace 0-1 Man Utd

    Manchester United have really dominated the first-half possession against Palace, who failed to register a shot on target.

    West Ham 1-0 Burnley

    Burnley are inches away from being level but Ben Mee's header across goal is cleared before a team-mate can turn it home.

    West Ham counter, but Dimitri Payet goes down after running into Dean Marney. The Frenchman is able to continue though.

    United fortunate to be ahead?published at 20:57 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    Rob Jones: Ibra punches it to and offside Pogba and the goal stands the refs shocking!!

    Luke: United the most lucky team in PL history. Anyone who believes JM's outlandish claims are as pathetic as him!

    Matt Collingwood: United very lucky to go in a goal up at the break. Even luckier to finish the half with 11 men!

  8. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 20:57 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    Sunderland 0-1 Chelsea

    Diego Costa is bang on it at the moment, he turns nothing into almost something as he seizes a loose ball and powers past John O'Shea to the left of goal, some Ronaldo-style stepovers and he then fires in a shot which tests Jordan Pickford.

    Costa then drives into the area and goes down after a barge from Lamine Kone - nothing given...

  9. Manchester United enjoying good fortunepublished at 20:57 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    BBC Sport chief football writer at Selhurst Park

    A dull first 45 minutes ends in acrimony with Crystal Palace furious after appeals for handball and offside were ignored as Zlatan Ibrahimovic appeared to handle a pass into Paul Pogba's path for his goal.

    And what about Marcos Rojo? Will he ever learn? So fortunate to escape a red card for a two-footed lunge on Idrissa Gueye at Everton - he does exactly the same thing on Wilfried Zaha and is lucky to just get a yellow card.

    Crystal Palace 0-1 Man Utd

    Manchester United are unbeaten in the last 31 Premier League games in which they've led (W28 D3). They last lost in this position to Leicester - 5-3 in September 2014.

  11. Postpublished at 20:55 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    West Ham 1-0 Burnley

    Burnley play a free-kick into the box and it ends up with Sam Vokes, but in an awkward position, he tries to adjust his body and flicks the ball with the outside of his foot. It drops wide of the goal, fortunately for West Ham.

  12. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:54 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    Sunderland 0-1 Chelsea

    Willian is back in the Chelsea team tonight and has been excellent, he runs and runs down the right, motors in on the penalty area and hits a shot which is deflected up and over Jordan Pickford, but on to the crossbar! Victor Moses then tests Pickford from the corner but the young man gets down well to pouch. 

  13. 'Strange game'published at 20:53 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    Steve Claridge
    Ex-Leicester striker at Selhurst Park, BBC Radio 5 live

    It has been a strange game, without any real tempo or gusto. 

    Palace have just looked to hit United on the break. There hasn't been any real blood and thunder.

  14. Postpublished at 20:52 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    West Ham 1-0 Burnley

    Burnley have had the better start to the second half. A much different scenario to how much West Ham dominated the opening 45.

    HT: Crystal Palace 0-1 Man Utd

    Andrew Reyes: Pogbaaaaaaaaa! On 2nd look, the linesman needs some glasses. Not complaining though. 

    Helles Mammut: How is that United goal allowed to stand? Obvious handball and a hint of offside. Mourinho's moaning about the refs paying off.

    Edward Taylor: Handball and offside for the goal and Rojo not sent off. United's luck is in for once.

  16. Postpublished at 20:51 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    Middlesbrough 0-1 Liverpool

    Sadio Mane is everywhere in the opening stages of the second half, dinking in a cross from the left which Roberto Firmino can only head well wide. Jurgen Klopp gives his players the full applause though. 

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:50 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    Sunderland 0-1 Chelsea

    Sunderland are through..saved! Adnan Januzaj overlaps Jermain Defoe and is played in, he sets himself and shoots but Thibaut Courtois makes a comfortable save.

    Chelsea counter and Victor Moses flashes a shot wide.

    Manchester City go into the break ahead against Watford.

    Remember East 17's video for Stay Another Day?

    Palace defender Pape Souare has paid homage to the Christmas classic with a hood-up furry coat at Selhurst Park tonight.

    All together now: "Baby if you've got to go away..."

  20. CLOSE!published at 20:49 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2016

    Middlesbrough 0-1 Liverpool

    Liverpool right out of the blocks with an early chance as Sadio Mane stretches his legs in behind, he's wide on the right and Victor Valdes makes the save. Moments later Mane has a shot blocked. Jurgen Klopp must have had 'a word.'
