Sunderland 0-0 Tottenham, Bournemouth 0-2 Crystal Palace: Premier League - as it happened

Spurs move ahead of Arsenal in the Premier League table, but only on goal difference. It's a missed opportunity for Mauricio Pochettino's side after a dismal night for the Gunners.

The happiest man in the UK tonight will be Sam Allardyce. He has his first win as Crystal Palace manager after picking up all three points at Bournemouth. It's not enough to lift them out of the relegation zone, but it will most certainly do for now.

Paul Clement won't be in a bad move either. A win at home to Southampton lifts Swansea two points clear of the relegation zone - level with Premier League champions Leicester City.

Sam Allardyce is smiling again, Christian Benteke has just wrapped up all three points, tapping home after some neat work down the wing from Andros Townsend.

Goal! Bournemouth 0-2 Crystal Palace (Christian Benteke, 90+2)

Two minutes of time added on at the Stadium of Light.

Burnley might have just snatched all three points right at the death! Michael Keane wins the knockout from a corner kick, directing it down to Sam Vokes who takes a touch before lashing home. But did it come off his hand? It certainly looked like it...

Goal! Burnley 1-0 Leicester City (Sam Vokes, 87)

Eriksen cuts out onto the right and then back inside again trying to shake his marker, before eventually shooting for goal. It's another tame effort, however, that rolls straight into Mannone's arms.

Less than 10 minutes remaining at the Stadium of Light and in our other five 7:45pm kick-offs.

Moment of the match at the Stadium of Light so far,; Victor Wanyama drives a wayward shot into the stands that is so powerful, who obliterates the empty seat it struck.

Not the sight Spurs fans would have wanted to see tonight; Danny Rose limped off in the first-half.

Swansea meanwhile are back in front at the Liberty Stadium, with debutant Luciano Narsingh having an immediate impact, teeing up Sigurdsson for an ice-cold finish.

Walker's cross from the right finds Alli on the edge of the box. He takes a touch and swings a half volley on goal but a slight touch off a Sunderland defender ensures it's rising over the bar. Yet another Tottenham corner.

Goal! Swansea 2-1 Sunderland (Gylfi Sigurdsson, 70_

There has been just the two goals in the second half of our six matches so far. Sort it out, boys.

Every corner Tottenham have taken, bar one perhaps, during this half have been short corners. Sunderland still don't seem to have figured it out, though.

Oh what a chance for Wanyama! The latest corner attempt bounces out to Davies who drives towards the touchline before floating an excellent ball over the far post, where Wanyama is leaping in. He connects with the ball, but can't keep it down.

Walker drives a shot on goal that deflects out for a corner. Then they get another one. And another one. Sunderland's attempts to clear it are awful.

Walker plays a pass inside to Son who neatly flicks the ball around for Eriksen down the right of the box. O'Shea is keeping the Dane onside but he loses his footing at the vital moment and the chance is gone.

Southampton equalise at the Liberty Stadium! Shane Long caps a wonderful flowing move, getting on the end of a precise cross from Ryan Bertrand to tap home from close range.

Goal! Swansea 1-1 Southampton (Shane Long, 56)

There hasn't been a peep from Turf Moor yet this evening where Burnley are hosting Leicester. Andre Gray has just tried to change that, bundling his way through the Foxes' defence before letting fly with a shot, but Schmeichel is right behind it.

Arsenal have bought Theo Walcott on at half-time to try and rescue something against Watford and the Gunners have improved in the opening 10 minutes. Gomes has just been forced into a very decent save to deny Alex Iwobi pulling one back.

Eriksen's free kick bounces through the Sunderland wall but Mannone reads it well and makes the save.

Dele Alli is now fed by Walker in the middle of the park and has his ankles clipped by NDong. Tottenham have a free kick about 30 yards out.

Eriksen swings a corner in that bypasses everyone but Kane, who looks to drag it inside and fire across goal but is well marshalled by Rodwell who makes the block.

Sunderland finally get the ball off Tottenham allowing Borini to break down the right. He doesn't have much support and tries to launch a hopeful ball in the box with Defoe gaining ground, but it's woefully over hit and sails out for a goal kick.

Tottenham have started very brightly in the second half with Ben Davies almost finding Kane at the near post with a cross from the left. Sunderland have barely got a touch since we got back underway.

And we are back underway in our six 7:4pm kick-offs.

Half-time scores:

Arsenal 0-2 Watford

Burnley 0-0 Leicester City

Sunderland 0-0 Tottenham

Swansea City 1-0 Southampton

Bournemouth 0-0 Crystal Palace

Middlesbrough 1-1 West Brom

Half-time: Sunderland 0-0 Tottenham

Two minutes of time added on at The Stadium of Light.

Sunderland get the free kick from that incident that Defoe stands over. He lifts it dangerously into the six yard area and it takes a bounce right in front of Vorm but he holds onto it.

More carnage at The Stadium of Light, Seb Larsson and Kyle Walker are left in a heap after crashing into each other while contesting a header.

It isn't getting much better for Liverpool this week, they are behind at Anfield thanks to a superb free kick from David Luiz who has caught out a sleeping home defence with a wonderful effort. Liverpool staring down the barrel of four consecutive defeats.

Goal! Liverpool 0-1 Chelsea (David Luiz, 25)

Swansea take the lead! From a corner kick, Gylfi Sigurdsson whips in a beaut of a cross and Mawson meets it with a firm header to plant it past Forster.

Goal! Swansea 1-0 Southampton (Alife Mawson, 38)

Danny Rose is signalling he won't be able to continue here. He's just clashed with Billy Jones and despite it looking like it was the Sunderland player who was caught, Rose comes off the worse. Ben Davies comes onto replace him.

Tottenham players are fuming after a pretty poor challenge from Rodwell on Dembele. The Belgium international drives forward on the break until he is brought down by a ferocious challenge from the Sunderland midfielder. It wasn't a trip, he absolutely cleaned him out and maybe he is lucky to get away with just a yellow.

Negredo's spot-kick has levelled the game at the Riverside Stadium after James Morrison's opener.

Alderweireld effortlessly lifts a cracking ball over the top for Son to run into, having found space inbetween O'Shea and Denayer. It looks to be falling right into his path, but O'Shea gets a slight nick on it to knock it on to Mannone.

Victor Wanyama now tries his luck from 20n yards out, but it;s a relatively simple stop for Mannone. We are just seeing replays off that Borini chance now,; the ball bounces so invitingly for him inside the box, yet he somehow managed to place it straight into the mitts of Vorm.

Troy Deeney has given Watford a 2-0 lead at the Emirates.

What a chance for Borini again! Defoe again does brilliantly to knock the ball down to the Italian who drives into the box, looking for room to shoot. He brushes past Dier and shoots but his effort is straight at Vorm. What a waste.

At the Stadium of Light, Rodwell heaves a hopeful ball up to Defoe who does brilliantly against Alderweireld to hold the ball up and wait for support just inside the box. It eventually comes in the form of Borini but instead of hitting it first time, he makes a right mess of trying to control it first and the chance disappears.

Boro pull level at the Riverside! Gareth Macauley slides in on Alvaro Negredo and is judged to have got the man before he got the ball. The Spaniard takes responsibility for the spot kick and slides it home.

Goal! Middlesbrough 1-1 West Brom (Alvaro Negredo, 16)

Sunderland are defending well so far in numbers with Kone coming across to lend a helping hand to Jones, ushering Danny Rose off the ball and winning his side a goal kick.

Arsenal are two down already! Moments after Younes Kaboul's drilled free kick from 30 yards out deflected off Aaron Ramsey and into the back of the net, Troy Deeney is on hand to sweep home a rebound after Etienne Capoue's effort was saved.

Goal! Arsenal 0-2 Watford (Troy Deeney, 13)

Goal! Arsenal 0-1 Watford (Younes Kaboul, 10)

James Morrison scores the first goal of the evening! Against his former club, the midfielder is on the end of a knockdown from Darren Fletcher and drills and precise effort through a crowd of players from 18 yards out and into the back of the net.

Goal! Middlesbrough 0-1 West Brom (James Morrison, 4)

Southampton have the first chance of the evening at the Liberty Stadium with Tadic freeing Shane Long who looks to find the back of the net from a tight angle but can't find the target.

And we are off and underway in our six 7:45pm kick offs.

Joey Barton starts his first game in the Premier League for Burnley, retaining his place in midfield alongside birthday boy Jeff Hendrick.

Wilfried Ndidi comes in for Andy King in one of three changes made by Claudio Ranieri. Riyad Mahrez returns after his Africa Cup of Nations campaign with Algeria while Shinji Okazaki drops out for Dermarai Gray.

Bournemouth make three changes tonight with Simon Francis, Brad Smith and Benik Afobe all coming in for Tyrone Mings, Charlie Daniels and Callum Wilson.

Crystal Palace meanwhile are bolstered by the return of Wilfried Zaha following his campaign with Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations. There is also a full debut for Patrick van Anholt following his £14m move from Sunderland.

Aitor Karanka brings Antonio Barragan and Fabio da Silva into his Middlesbrough side tonight with Calum Chambers and George Friend injured. Viktor Fischer meanwhile is named on the bench.

Jake Livermore is made to wait for his full West Brom debut, he is on the bench tonight with Tony Pulis naming the same starting XI that beat Sunderland last time out.

After beating Liverpool away from home, you are hardly going to change your starting XI, are you? That is Paul Clement's thinking tonight in naming his Swansea side to take on Southampton at the Liberty Stadium.

Claude Puel meanwhile made 10 changes to the side he picked to beat Liverpool last time out. The end result was a 5-0 hammering at home to Arsenal. It is a bit of a more familiar line up tonight with Sofiane Boufal also returning to the bench.

As expected, it is all change for Tottenham after a number of players were rested against Wycombe on Saturday. Harry Kane, Toby Alderweireld, Danny Rose, Kyle Walker, Dele Alli, Victor Wanyama and Christian Eriksen are all back in.

Michel Vorm retains his place, however, with Tottenham confirming Hugo Lloris is absent due to illness.

David Moyes makes five changes to the side that lost to West Brom last time out with Lamine Kone and Didier NDong immediately thrown back into the first-team.

Fabio Borini comes in for injured Victor Anichebe while Javier Manquillo comes in at full-back. Jason Denayer moves into a midfield role.

Adnan Januzaj settles for a spot on the bench,

Sunderland team to face Tottenham: Mannone, Jones, Manquillio, O'Shea, Kone, Denayer, NDong, Larsson, Rodwell, Borini, Defoe

Subs: Mika, Love, Lescott, Pienaar, Januzaj, Gooch, Honeyman

BREAKING: Didier NDong and Lamine Kone come straight back into the Sunderland starting XI. Joleon Lescott named on the bench.

Tottenham team to face Sunderland: Vorm, Walker, Alderweireld, Dier, Rose, Dembele, Wanyama, Dele, Eriksen, Son, Kane

Subs: Lopez, Carter-Vickers, Davies, Wimmer, Sissoko, Winks, Janssen

BREAKING: Harry Kane, Danny Rose and Toby Alderwerield all return to the Tottenham starting XI. Hugo Lloris misses out through illness.

While there is the small matter of a football match to consider, Sunderland will continue to try and strengthen their squad ahead of tonight's transfer deadline. Leonardo UIloa has burned his bridges at Leicester City; the Black Cats remain in talks over a move for the Spaniard.

There are just four hours left before the January window shuts. Keep an eye on all the developments during tonight's games here.

Team news: Sunderland

David Moyes has continued to get the old band back together with his former Everton players Darron Gibson and Bryan Oviedo signing deals with the club yesterday. Those came too late for the duo to be involved tonight, but Joleon Lescott could make his first appearance for the club against Spurs.

Team news: Sunderland

The Black Cats are still stricken by injuries with Victor Anichebe, Jan Kirchhoff, Jordan Pickford and Steven Pienaar among those currently residing in the treatment room. Papy Djilobodji's four-game ban hardly helps matters.

There is some good news, however. Didier Ndong and Lamine Kone are set to return to the Sunderland squad after returning from international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Mauricio Pochettino discussing his squad options on Monday.

Harry Kane is OK and trained well today. He's available for Sunderland. The same goes for Toby Alderweireld and Danny Rose.

"[Kieran] Trippier needs a few days more to recover so he's out. Jan Vertonghen is doing well and needs more time but is progressing well.

Team news: Tottenham

Kieran Trippier is the only fresh casualty in Mauricio Pochettino's squad; he limped off during the win over Wycombe. Erik Lamela meanwhile is back in training after his troublesome hip injury.

Team news: Tottenham

Harry Kane has recovered from a minor groin strain that ruled him out of Saturday's FA Cup thriller against Wycombe Wanderers. Toby Alderweireld also missed that game, nursing a hamstring injury suffered in the 2-2 draw with Manchester City, while Danny Rose left the Etihad Stadium that evening with his knee in a brace. Both players are however back in contention tonight.
