In the Premier league, Sunderland boss Gus Poyet was involved in a touchline spat with Hull counterpart Steve Bruce during last night's 1-1 draw at the KC Stadium.

It came as Poyet was leaving the field after being sent off following a disagreement with the match officials.

He took out his frustrations on a cooler box on the touchline.

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood says they got the win they deserved in last night's 2-1 victory against local rivals West Brom at Villa Park.

Christian Benteke scored a stoppage-time penalty to earn them the win which lifts them out of the relegation zone.

Southampton moved up to fifth place with a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at St Mary's.

Five of the top six are in action tonight in the top-flight. Leaders Chelsea go to West Ham while second-placed Man City are at home to Leicester. Arsenal and Manchester United will continue their battle for third place. The Gunners travel to QPR while United are just a point further back ahead of their trip to Newcastle. In tonight's other 7:45 kick-offs, Stoke are at home to Everton, and Swansea visit Tottenham.

There's an 8pm start at Anfield, where Liverpool welcome Burnley.

There's also one game tonight in the Scottish Premiership as league-leaders Celtic look to extend their six-point lead as they host St Johnstone at Parkhead.
