Man.City v Sunderland kicks off at 2pm. Man.City odds on favourite to win, but anything is possible in football.

Kompany caught on the wrong side of Borini. The Sunderland forward puts the ball across Pantilimon and into the far corner. 1-0 Sunderland.

I usually cheers for the under-dogs, and am glad Sunderland are up 1-0, but can't bring myself to believe ManC will lose this one.

Hope Sunderland can pull it out. They could pull a Wigan - win a cup but fall down a division. They're still in the FA Cup quarters as well. Wish they'd find their cup form in the league so we can play West Brom next year.

I always want as a neutral for the underdog to win. It's also good for the game and sometimes proves that all the money in the world can't always buy success.

Enjoying the game, intriguing start, problem is I have to head for the airport now.

Hope Sunderland hang on!

Good recovery challenge by Kompany to stop Borini in his tracks. He looked offside.

Wheels starting to fall off for Sunderland. City score two goals in less than two minutes

Yaya Toure with the equaliser for Man.City, 1-1, make that 2-1, Nasri's effort in off the near post.

Poor control from Fletcher, only needed to square the ball across goal. Up the other end, Sunderland hit on the break,Navas played in by Toure, beats the Sunderland keeper at his near post and makes it 3-1.

A good final and Sunderland good value in the first half, game turned on it's head with the goals from Toure and Nasri.

Spurs 1-0 up at home to Cardiff, Adebayor plays in Soldado who makes no mistake. Bellamy will do well to stay the pitch, already booked for dissent. Caulker should have levelled, heads onto bar from little more than two yards out.

Managed to watch the first half of the Villa game at the airport.

Gave up an early goal and then looked lost for twenty mins, but what a comeback. I think if Norwich give up 6 which is more than likely Hughton will be gone.

I was just checking on the half times scores, a goal down and now 4-1 up. As you say, Hughton more likely to be gone, i think Malky MacKay could be the one to replace him.

Took me a while to find a decent stream for the Villa game. Finally got on to "Lag10". Not only has it been continuous but there is no commentary. You can hear the players and coaches and the fans quite clearly, but there is no brainless drivel to accompany it! Excellent.

One goal enough for Spurs, had a chance to make it 2-0 towards the end, Harry Kane with the chance, but couldn't beat Marshall.

You can see why Norwich are struggling when looking at the defending for Benteke's two goals. The Belgian able to score even though he was marked close and for his second, able to head in without any pressure.
