Premier League round-up: Liverpool and Villa back to winning ways

The referee blows for full time - an important win for Villa

The ball goes out of play and Moyes hastily throws it back down the line for a throw in to be taken by his team

Relentless pressure from Everton isnt paying off - they are camped out in the Villa half but havent made a breakthrough

The free kick is slammed into the wall and out for a throw but Everton soon pick up possession again and get back on the attack

Villa are pegged back as Everton ping passes round the box but they are struggling to get a chance at the end of their hard work - Villa are back in numbers and determined not to lose their lead

This game is getting properly lively now - end to end with both sides looking to find something from the game

Coleman breaks into the box at pace going round three Villa players before putting the ball across the box but it is put behind for a corner

Everton break down the other end and but for some last ditch defending they could have created a chance but James Collins hacks it away

Albrighton goes close for Villa but his shot is wide

Agbonlahor is getting ready to come on - meanwhile Jack Rodwell is receiving medical attention after going down under a Warnock challenge

At the moment this looks like being a return to form for Villa under MacDonald - it would be a great win against Everton - but there is still twenty five minutes to go

Great save by Tim Howard to deny Ashley Young at point blank range

Agbonlahor is warming up on the touchline while Heskey sulks on the bench - time for a Villa change soon?

A mazy run and shot from deep by Ashley Young is close but flies just round the post

The teams are back out at Villa Park in our final game of the day - no changes

Sunderland 1-0 Manchester City

Liverpool 1-0 West Brom

Thats three games done and dusted then: Bolton 2-2 Birmingham

Mike Dean blows the final whistle and Sunderland inflict City's first defeat of the season and pick up their own first three points

Dying moments at the Stadium of Light - both sides going all out for the winner

Just over ten minutes remaining for Manchester City or Sunderland to nick a win - and for West Brom to try and snatch a point

Everton are patiently trying to create chances but nothing much is happening for them

Gerrard and Torres are beginning to show the understanding that saw Liverpool finish second two season ago

A great save from Scott Carson denies Torres a second goal of the game

Welbeck wastes a good chance for Sunderland, who are in the ascendancy now against City and looking increasingly dangerous

Thats the drought over for the Spanish hitman

An hour gone in the 3pm kick offs and still no goals - Liverpool 0-0 West Brom, Sunderland 0-0 Manchester City

Still 0-0 at the Stadium of Light between Sunderland and Manchester City - Joe Hart is still unbeaten in the league this year - bodes well for England (I hope)

The Moose is up at Anfield and he has just confirmed that Paul Konchesky will be a Liverpool player tomorrow - what do you think Liverpool fans?

I dont know what Young was doing that far forward but it worked! Great start for Villa as they look to put a bad week behind them

Fabio Capello is in attendance at Villa Park, not much else to report from any game so far...

No changes for either side at Anfield, West Brom shooting from right to left

Liverpool v West Brom are back underway - dont forget live coverage is on talkSPORT exclusively right now

We're underway in Villa v Everton

Probably not going by this afternoon's standards

The teams are out at Villa Park for the days final kick off... another goal fest?

We've been a bit goal shy in our three o'clock games haven't we! Let's hope the second half picks up....

Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Arteta, Fellaini, Rodwell, Pienaar, Cahill, Beckford. Subs: Mucha, Heitinga, Bilyaletdinov, Saha, Gueye, Osman, Coleman

Aston Villa: Friedel, Luke Young, Collins, Dunne, Warnock, Albrighton, Ireland, Petrov, Downing, Ashley Young, Carew. Subs: Guzan, Agbonlahor, Heskey, Reo-Coker, Cuellar, Lichaj, Bannan.

West Brom are looking the better side so far at Anfield, time for Hodgson to get tough I think

Carlos Tevez and Yaya Toure seem to be enjoying each others company as Toure is inches away from getting on the end of a Tevez through ball inside the Sunderland penalty area

Half chance for West Brom as Marc Antoine Fortune's low shot is saved by Pepe Reina

What a performance from Bolton. Down to ten men and looking our of the game they somehow managed to claw their way back into the game and grab a well deserved point. Birmingham on the other hand will be less than impressed at throwing away a two goal lead. It's a funny old game!

We're into injury time here at The Reebok, can either side find a match winner?

Bogdan to the rescue for Bolton.... The Hungarian gets down low to save Cameron Jerome's drive. That was close!

Carlos Tevez appears to want to steal the crown of miss of the season from Antolin Alcaraz as the Argentine blazes over with the whole goal to aim at.

Sunderland are making a bright start at The Stadium of Light as Ahmed Elmohamady tries his luck with a decent pot-shot from 25 yard

Early team news from Villa Park......Jack Rodwell starts for Everton. We'll have the starting line ups as soon as we get them

What a turnaround! Super sub Robbie Blake fires Bolton level with a delightful free kick from just outside the Birmingham penalty box. I did not see that coming! A peach of a goal!

Still no goals in our 3pm kick off's but Fernando Torres is looking lively as he fries a right footed drive towards the West Brom goal but Scott Carson is able to save

We're underway at Anfield. Can West Brom pull off a shock or will Gerrard and co be too strong? Let us know what you think...

The striker makes no mistake from the spot as he slots the ball into the top right hand corner of the net. Game on here!

As we suspected Gerrard and Torres both start for Liverpool. Will West Brom be able to tame the duo?

West Brom: Carson, Olsson, Tamas, Jara, Shorey, Morrison, Mulumbu, Dorrans, Brunt, Odemwingie, Marc-Antoine Fortune. Subs: Myhill, Tchoyi, Pablo, Barnes, Bednar, Reid, Cox

Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Carragher, Agger, Kuyt, Poulsen, Lucas, Jovanovic, Gerrard, Torres. Subs: Jones, Pacheco, Kyrgiakos, Maxi, Babel, Spearing, Kelly.

Elmander seem to be suffering from a bad case of cramp!

Despite the scoreline Birmingham are on the ropes as Bolton press for a goal

With only two days left before the transfer window Liverpool are looking busy as Raul Meireles takes a look around his new home after completing his move from Porto. Paul Koncesky is also at Anfield so his proposed transfer from Fulham looks ever so closer

Comedy defending from 10 man Bolton as the home side appeal for offside allowing an unmarked Craig Gardner to stab home Birminghams second goal of the afternoon

The second half at The Reebok stadium gets underway

Emmanuel Adebayor has to settle for another place on the Manchester City bench. I can't imagine he will be happy with that!

Early team news from Anfield indicate that both Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres will start for Liverpool. I'll bring full line ups when I get them

Man City: Hart, Richards, Toure, Kompany, Lescott, Adam Johnson, De Jong, Toure Yaya, Barry, Milner, Tevez. Subs: Given, Zabaleta, Wright-Phillips, Adebayor, Silva, Vieira, Jo.

Sunderland: Mignolet, Ferdinand, Turner, Bramble, Richardson, Elmohamady, Henderson, Cattermole, Malbranque, Campbell, Bent. Subs: Carson, Bardsley, Zenden, Riveros, Welbeck, Colback, Waghorn.

Some team news for you from The Stadium of Light....

Bolton have it all to do in the second half if they want to get anything from this game following Jaaskelainen silly sending off. See you in fifteen....

We're into stoppage time here with three minutes added on

I have no idea why Petrov has been taken off. He has been Bolton's best player so far. I must also mention the brightness of Bogdan's hair, it's as loud as his shirt and as for that haircut......

Drama here at the Reebok......Jaaskelainen is challenged in the air by Johnson and the Bolton keeper feels he was fouled so he slaps the Birmingham player in the face, leaving referee Kevin Friend with no choice but to send him off. Shocking stuff!

Stuart Holden's corner flies over everyone's head as Birmingham clear the ball

Bolton continue to press as Chung-Yong Lee wins another corner for the home side

Lovely move from Cahill as he controls the ball in the Birmingham box then lays of a nice back flick to Elmander but the striker fires his shot over the bar. This is better from Bolton

Bolton come forward and a Stuart Holden free-kick tests Ben Foster as the Birmingham keeper just about puts the ball over his own bar.

We're midway through the first half here and Birmingham are looking the most comfortable but must start to deal with the threat of Martin Petrov. He could be the key man for Bolton today

Ben Foster is first to the ball though as Birmingham clear their lines

It's end to end stuff here as Bolton win the a corner

Freekick to Birmingham out on the far left but Cahill blocks Cameron Jeromes shot to prevent the visitors extending their lead

Petrov is looking lively as he gets on the end of a Kevin Davies flick on but his shot takes a deflection and Ben Foster is on hand for Birmingham

Bolton are trying their best to get back into the game as Martin Petrov gets a shot in but Stephen Carr is able to block his goal bound effort

Bolton waste a chance to draw level as Elmander's shot sails over the Birmingham crossbar

Its our first goal of the afternoon and its fallen to Roger Johnson who slips the ball past Jussi Jaaskelainen after Cameron Jerome flicks on Lee Bowyers cut back. Great start for the Blues!

Birmingham are holding the ball up nicely in the opening stages of the game

We're underway....
