    Chelsea 0-0 Brighton

    Another chance goes begging for Chelsea as Alvaro Morata cushions a header wide of goal.

    Feels like it is going to be one of those days for the Blues.

    On the stroke of half-time...

    Leicester fail to clear a corner and the deliciously-named Molla Wague gobbles up the chance from close range, tucking in at the front post from inside the six yards box.

    Mmmm, tasty for Watford.

    Bournemouth 1-1 West Ham

    I think both sets of players used up a lot of energy in a frantic 10 minute spell just after West Ham took the lead. Things have been considerably quieter now, although Manuel Lanzini should have done better when he mis-hit his effort from outside box, skewing it wide.

  4. CLOSE!published at 15:44 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2017

    West Brom 0-0 Everton

    Not been the most exciting game at The Hawthorns between sides managed by Alan Pardew and Sam Allardyce.

    The home side do go close through Chris Brunt, but the Northern Irishman's effort is kept out by Englishman Jordan Pickford.

    You wouldn't think this was the best Man Utd had done in the league since Fergie retired would you?

    Man Utd 0-2 Burnley

    Burnley are punishing United at both ends, they have scored twice and kept out the home side at the other.

    This time Kevin Long is the brave defender, saving a sure goal by deflecting away Zlatan Ibrahimovic's shot.

    Paul Pogba then lets fly with a curler from 25 yards out which drifts inches wide of Tom Pope's left-hand post.

  7. Shape from Burnleypublished at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2017

    Man Utd 0-2 Burnley

    BBC Radio 5 live

    Former Republic of Ireland midfielder Andy Reid: "Burnley are 2-0 up at Old Trafford and deservedly so, it adds to the amazing season they're having. Everybody knows their roles within the team, they have a good shape about them. They play some good football, that free-kick takes a lot of ability against a goalkeeper like David de Gea."

  8. CLOSE!published at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2017

    Huddersfield 1-0 Stoke

    Almost 2-0 to Huddersfield as Rajiv van la Parra cuts inside to bend an effort towards the far post but Jack Butland gets across superbly to push behind.

    This has been a really entertaining game.

    .Image source, .

    It feels like it has been all Chelsea in this game but they haven't bossed possession as much as it appears watching the game.

    Chelsea's problem has been some disappointing finishing, eight shots on goal with just three on target, the latest a fairly tame Cesc Fabregas shot straight at the keeper.

    What a free-kick from Steven Defour!

    To beat David de Gea is almost impossible, but that shows what a fantastic free-kick it was. There was no stopping that.

    Man Utd 0-2 Burnley

    United come close to getting back into the game, but Marcus Rashford's low strike from inside the area is cleared off the line by Ben Mee's outstretched leg.

    PumpPeng: Come on you baggies! Missed two sitters already. This is what is costing us points and our season.

    Nathanael Leon: It was annoying the first time but it's silly now. Lukaku needs to be well away when defending free kicks.

  13. Shaw needs a run in the teampublished at 15:39 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2017

    Man Utd 0-2 Burnley

    BBC Radio 5 live

    Former Republic of Ireland midfielder Andy Reid: "I'm just looking at Man United, Shaw has started well, I'd like to see him get a run in the team. He's probably still feeling the effects of what was a horrific injury, the only thing that can get him over that is a good long run in the team. I think he could come up trumps for them."

    Foxes in front.

    Marc Albrighton with a deep cross to the back post, no-one is picking Riyad Mahrez up and the Algerian heads in past Heurelho Gomes from eight yards out.

    January transfer window looming. A few more teams may by looking at Mahrez now.

    Huddersfield 1-0 Stoke

    Stoke are forced into an early change because Ryan Shawcross has picked up an injury. Ramadan Sobhi comes on.

    The change disrupts the visitors momentum just as they were building up a head of steam.

    Great hit!

    Belgian Steven Defour, so often linked with a move to Manchester United int the past, curls a free-kick over the wall and into the top corner.

    Break in play at Bournemouth because Cheikhou Kouyate needs treatment. He got caught by heavy challenge by Simon Francis. Looks like he might be OK to continue, though.

    Graham Ball: Mourhino is a spent force completely out of ideas! Lukaku needs a spell on the bench. Rojo needs a seat on a plane back to Argentina!

    Anthony Atkinson: Why oh why is Lukaku even in his own half never mind his own box.

    Bit scrappy at both Vicarage Road and The Hawthorns.

    None of the teams really dominant in their games.
