Chelsea have only conceded twice in their past 11 Premier League matches. The odds on Bournemouth bagging two after the break must about the same as Santa turning up and drinking your whiskey tonight.

Jordan Pickford's had a busy first half in the Sunderland net. Consider it peppered. 

Manchester United have had 12 attempts on goal - four shots on target, four shots off target, two shots blocked. One goal.

You can't win the league at Christmas. But you can open up a nine-point gap. And Chelsea are on the way to doing exactly that.

Jose Mourinho can allow himself a smile of satisfaction at half-time.

As Wayne Rooney was injured, United's only tactical switch today was to introduce Daley Blind for Matteo Darmian and he has been rewarded with a rare goal from the Dutchman.

So rare in fact that it was September 2015 since Blind's last in the Premier League, which was the only other time he has scored at Old Trafford.

We may be short on goals in the Premier League so far, but the Championship's coming alive. 

There have been four goals already in one match alone - Preston are losing 3-1 at home to Leeds, who are up to third as things stand. 

Burton Albion have scored their first ever goal against Aston Villa to get back on level terms at 1-1, while Rotherham are beating Wigan 3-0 in a match you can hear on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra.

Head over here, for everything EFL

Nick Clohessy: West Brom, with all the adventure of plain toast made in a toaster that takes 20 seconds too long every single time.

Scotty: Slow, boring and predicatable. Same old really. #Arsenal

The half at Old Trafford ends with Jordan Pickford having to make two saves. The first is to prevent Paul Pogba scoring from close range, while the second is a low save to turn away Juan Mata's goalbound free-kick.

Oooh! Everton's best chance seconds before the half-time whistle. Leighton Baines drills a shot across the Foxes area and Kevin Mirallas slides in a la Gazza at Euro 96. And like Gazza he somehow fails to convert. Best chance of a drab 45 minutes.

Chance for Bournemouth. Chance gone for Bournemouth.

Adam Smith fancies his chances of burying a 20-yard free-kick, only to smack it straight into a wall of blue shirts. Waste.

Still no goals at Burnley. The home side have had the better of the chances, but have been unable to find a way past Victor Valdes.

Everton have rarely ventured into Leicester territory so far. The Toffees do manage their first effort at goal, Rami Funes Mori climbing above Wes Morgan - and all over him some might suggest - to head over the bar. Big Dunc Ferguson looks to the floor on the away bench - he'd have buried that.

Michail Antonio is having a good season in front of goal. He is inches away from claiming his eighth goal of the season with a curling shot that goes just wide of the far post.

That was a very good goal. 

It was a confident finish from Blind. 

He took a touch to set himself, struck across the goal and Pickford had no chance.

Arsenal very much the team on top - nearly 80% possession for the home side. 

But the Gunners and West Brom are equal on shots on target - one apiece so far.

That's still the case after Alex Iwobi's effort is blocked by Claudio Yacob. The Baggies midfielder is a one-man wall at the moment.

A better strike from Gylfi Sigurdsson, as he curls a free-kick from 20 yards around the West Ham wall, but Darren Randolph is alert and dives low to palm the ball away.
