4.36pm: Tony Barrett is our man at Liverpool v Norwich and can report that the home team weren’t happy about the corner that led to the Stoke goal. He tweets: “Liverpool complaining it shouldn’t have been a corner. That may well be the case but it doesn’t excuse the way they defended it.”

4.34pm: George Caulkin at Newcastle v Norwich tweets: “Been pretty quiet & nervy aside from goal, but Ruddy has just made fine save after Cabaye’s ball flicked forward by Ba.”

4.27pm: Stoke hit straight back through Liverpool old-boy Crouch, who was allowed to meet a corner unchallenged by his supposed marker, Andy Carroll, and the ex-England man duly took advantage by heading past Pepe Reina.

4.23pm: GOAL! LIVERPOOL 1-0 Stoke (Luis Suarez)

4.21pm: Here’s what Torres has had to say about ending his goal drought: “I needed those goals. I’ve been working so hard to get them. Maybe the job of a striker is to score goals and if you don’t do it people think you’re playing badly. But the support has been here and I feel the confidence of the manager [Di Matteo] now. We have some important games coming.”

4.16pm: George Caulkin is our reporter at Newcastle v Norwich and he tweets: “What a finish from Cisse. Makes it look simple, getting in front of Whitbred and striking cross from Gutierrez 1st time. 1-0.”

4.13pm: Wow, what a goal. The ball was whipped in from the left by Jonas Gutierrez and Cisse rifled it into the top corner with the outside of his right foot. Terrific finish.

3.44pm: GOAL! Chelsea 3-1 LEICESTER (Beckford)

2.45pm: GOAL! Wolves 0-4 MANCHESTER UNITED (Javier Hernandez)

2.34pm: The second half is under way at Molineux. One would imagine the home team will want this one over and done with as quickly as possible.

2.26pm: He might not be scoring himself but that was an outstanding assist from Torres, who picked the ball up on the right touchline, sprinted away from his marker and played in Kalou to finish low past Kasper Schmeichel.

2.25pm: GOAL! CHELSEA 2-0 Leciester City (Salomon Kalou)

2.23pm: Just before United’s quickfire double, Terry Connor, the Wolves manager, made an organisation change in response to going down to ten men by replacing David Davis with Eggert Jonsson. Didn’t quite have the desired effect.

2.20pm: Cahill heads home from a corner to give the Premier League team the lead and celebrates by revealing an under-shirt carrying the message “Pray 4 Muamba”. Cahill was a team-mate of Muamba’s at Bolton until leaving for Chelsea in January.

2.18pm: HALF-TIME Wolves 0-3 Manchester United

2.16pm: GOAL! Wolves 0-3 MANCHESTER UNITED (Danny Welbeck)

2.14pm: United turn a Wolves corner into a second goal with a lightning-fast counter-attack finished off with a right-wing run and finish by Valencia. Excellent finish to a thrilling move.

2.12pm: GOAL! Wolves 0-2 MANCHESTER UNITED (Antonio Valencia)

2.09pm: RED CARD! Wolves’ Ronald Zubar is given a second yellow card. The first foul was a late challenge on Rooney, the second a clumsy one on Welbeck. Game over already?

2.07pm: We’re under way at Stamford Bridge, where there was no organised minute’s applause for Muamba, but a message of best wishes from the stadium announcer.

1.54pm: The Times’ Alyson Rudd is at Stamford Bridge this afternoon. She tweets: “Leicester fans in good voice at Bridge, Pearson starts with an attacking Beckford and Nugent, RDM starts a with hopeful Sturridge and Torres.”

1.51pm: All a bit too easy for United there. A corner came in, Carrick cushioned it back across goal and there was Evans to turn into the Wolves net from close range.

1.51pm: GOAL! Wolves 0-1 MANCHESTER UNITED (Jonny Evans)

1.48pm: Wonderful chance for Wolves to take the lead as Matt Jarvis swings in a fine cross in, but Steven Fletcher’s header is just the wrong side of the post. Should have buried it.

1.43pm: Seven changes by Roberto Di Matteo, the Chelsea manager, with only Cech, Ivanovic, Sturridge and Mata remaining from the team that beat Napoli in the Champions League in midweek. Torres is back in the starting line-up and, facing a Championship club, won’t get a better chances to end his goal drought.
