    Phillippa: Imagine where Stoke City would have been if Michael O'Neill had been appointed earlier...

    It's going pretty well for the Potters today!

  2. Baggies kept at bay - for now

    Swansea 0-0 West Brom

    West Brom are the Championship's leading scorers with 64 goals to date, but they have had few sights of goal in what has been a fairly scrappy opening quarter at the Liberty Stadium.

    Slaven Bilic cannot keep still in the away dugout - the Albion manager has spent most of the afternoon at his players, the officials or both.

    Opposite number Steve Cooper is the calmer of the two bosses for the moment, and it is team who have gone closest through a Joe Rodon header which was blocked on the line.

    West Brom may not have had a clear opportunity, but they have looked menacing at times.

  3. Stoke 3-0 Hull

    Stoke almost make it four as Nick Powell chips the ball over Hull keeper George Long but it bounces just wide.

    Hull are out of form and are really struggling in this one.

  4. Leeds 1-0 Huddersfield

    What have Huddersfield got in response to going a goal down against their Yorkshire rivals Leeds?

    Well, Trevoh Chalobah plays a lovely one-two with Fraizer Campbell to work his way into the Leeds box and he attempts a first-time shot but he's denied by Leeds keeper Illan Meslier.

    A bright start from Swansea at the Liberty Stadium as they face leaders West Brom.

    There's a let off for the Baggies however, as Brewster puts his effort wide, but Swansea look good, here.
