A Shane Long brace for Southampton has restored the gap to Premier League leaders Chelsea to four points.

The brace came during a relatively low-scoring afternoon in the Premiership, where not a single goal was recorded in the first halves of the four three o'clock kick-offs.

The Saints were ultimately 2-0 winners at home to Leicester.

Juan Mata's deflected second half shot gave Manchester United a 1-0 win at home to Crystal Palace.

Burnley have finally got their first win of the season, with Ashley Barnes' second half strike giving the Clarets a 1-0 win at home to Hull.

West Ham and Aston Villa drew a blank at Upton Park.

Earlier, goals from Gary Cahill and Diego Costa gave Chelsea a 2-1 win at Liverpool.

The half-five kick-off will see QPR host a Manchester City side bruised by their Champions League defeat on Wednesday night.
