Premiership clockwatch
All the action from seven Premiership games on New Year's Day.
Afternoon results:
Evening game: Leeds 3-0 West Ham 21:52 Referee Dunn blows his whistle to end the game as Leeds win to go top of the Premiership. 21:51 Cole wins a free-kick on the edge of the Leeds box. Hutchison blasts the set-piece which is deflected over the bar by Cole. 21:50 Dailly breaks in from the left but his shot is high and wide. 21:49 Hutchison threatens but Ferdinand is quick to get the ball away. 21:45 Leeds make their first substitution as Jason Wilcox comes on for Bowyer. 21:41 Richard Garcia makes his Premiership debut as he replaces Kanoute. 21:39 Gritty persistence from Bowyer sees the Leeds player get the better of Dailly, but Schemmel is on hand to clear the resulting cross. 21:35 Todorov, Sinclair and Kanoute link well, but the Frenchman is ruled to be offside. 21:33 Svetoslav Todorov replaces Defoe. 21:32 John Moncur flashes a shot just past Martyn's right-hand post. 21:31 Martyn is called into action for the first time in the second half when he tips away Repka's glancing header. 21:30 Smith is booked for a foul on Cole. 21:27 Fowler nearly claims his second of the match when his low volley is brilliantly saved by James. From the rebound the West Ham keeper denies Fowler again. 21:25 Another sloppy pass from West Ham - this time from Sinclair - almost gifts Viduka his hat-trick. 21:20 James rescues West Ham again as he palms away Mills' swerving shot. 21:13 Another half-chance goes begging for West Ham as Defoe drags his shot wide after more good work by Sinclair on the left. 21:12 Now it is Smith's turn to try and get on the scoresheet after he is set up by Fowler. His shot is well parried by James. 21:10 Kanoute puts Defoe clear, but Ferdinand quickly snuffs out the danger.
21:09 Fowler extends Leeds' lead with a sublime chip after Moncur concedes possession. 21:06 West Ham continue to have plenty of possession as Defoe strays offside. 21:04 West Ham's Kanoute and Defoe restart the game. Second half
20:48 Referee Dunn blows his whistle for the end of the first half. 20:47 Woodgate's diving block prevents Winterburn cutting the ball back in the Leeds box. 20:45 Another sweeping Leeds move involving Fowler and Bowyer results in the latter crossing to Smith. James is forced to make another excellent save from Smith's effort on goal. 20:43 Bowyer's late tackle on Schemmel earns him a booking. 20:39 It is Leeds' turn to dominate and an acrobatic Viduka volley is tipped away by David James. 20:38 Kanoute receives a yellow card for a high and late tackle on Harte. 20:37 Bowyer runs into Schemmel in the penalty area and appeals for a foul. Referee Steve Dunn waves play on. 20:36 West Ham surge forward with Kanoute's sweeping past setting Sinclair free. The England international reaches the box and shoots low and hard. His effort is comfortably gathered by Nigel Martyn. 20:34 Mills picks up Leeds' first booking of the game. 20:32 Don Hutchison's backheel releases Schemmel, who crosses from the right. Sinclair reaches the ball but miscues his header. 20:30 Trevor Sinclair and Jermain Defoe look to press down the left wing and Mills concedes a third corner. 20:27 Kanoute again threatens down the left and Jonathan Woodgate is forced to concede the corner. That set-piece is cleared but more good work by Cole sees Kelly give away a second corner. Once more Leeds clear. 20:20 With Sven-Goran Eriksson watching, Cole breaks in from the right, only to send his shot high and wide.
20:19 Harte's cross to the far post almost picks out Fowler, but Winterburn heads the ball away for a corner. 20:15 Viduka almost releases Fowler, but the Australian's pass is diverted for a corner by Sebastien Schemmel. 20:14 Tomas Repka is booked for a foul on Lee Bowyer just outside the West Ham box. Ian Harte's free-kick is blocked by the West Ham wall. 20:13 Frederic Kanoute sets up Joe Cole for West Ham's first chance of the game. The Frenchman breaks down the left before cutting the ball back for Cole, whose half-volley whistles past the post. 20:10 A one-two between Fowler and Lee Bowyer is intercepted by Christian Dailly on the edge of the box.
20:08 Leeds double their advantage with a second goal from Viduka on seven minutes. Mills is again involved, picking up Nigel Winterburn's loose pass, before crossing from the right to the Australian, who calmly heads home.
20:05 Leeds take the lead with their first attack of the game after just four minutes. Danny Mills passes to Fowler, he releases Alan Smith whose cross is volleyed home by Viduka. 20:02 Robbie Fowler and Mark Viduka kick off for Leeds. 19:51 Leeds manager David O'Leary keeps the same side that beat Southampton 1-0 at the St Mary's stadium on Saturday. West Ham make one change from the team that drew 1-1 with Liverpool, with John Moncur replacing Michael Carrick in midfield. The England Under-21 international picked up a minor knock in Saturday's game.
Earlier games: 16:52 The final whistle blows at Anfield, where Bolton have claimed a 1-1 draw. Liverpool have claimed just six points from six games. And with Chelsea losing at home to Southampton, it is another good day for Manchester United and Arsenal. 16:50 With Liverpool pushing on, Bolton launch a swift counter-attack - and Michael Ricketts so nearly scores a shock winner, but Jerzy Dudek tips his shot over the bar.
Sunderland 1-1 Aston Villa 16:42 Jari Litmanen replaces Patrik Berger as Liverpool go for a four-man attack in their desperate attempt to grab a late winner.
16:36 Bolton hit back at Anfield as Liverpool suffer a sucker punch. Jerzy Dudek fails to thump the ball clear and Henrik Pedersen crosses first-time to the far post, where unmarked Kevin Nolan volleys home from six yards.
16:33 Southampton's travelling fans are in dreamland as their team take a two-goal lead. A cross from the right is expertly coverted by James Beattie for his second goal of the game. 16:25 Liverpool bring on loan signing Nicolas Anelka for Vladimir Smicer.
16:23 A see-saw game at Stamford Bridge swings Southampton's way once again, as Chris Marsden heads in a Paul Telfer corner.
16:18 Charlton, who had been 2-0 down, are now winning at The Valley. John Robinson crosses, Kevin Lisbie's shot is saved by Matteo Sereni but Jason Euell is on hand to score.
Sunderland 0-1 Aston Villa 16:15 Michael Owen looks certain to score after being sent clear on the Bolton goal - but Jussi Jaaskelainen makes a great one-handed save.
16:14 Latvian striker Marian Pahars levels for Southampton at Chelsea, after latching onto a long ball and rounding Carlo Cudicini.
16:10 Middlesbrough edge in front of Everton at the Riverside. A corner from Carlos Marinelli is met by Gianluca Festa, who scores in his first game since April.
16:07 After 45 minutes of frustration against Bolton, Liverpool take the lead at the start of the second half with an excellent solo goal. When the ball breaks to Steven Gerrard on the edge of the area and he surges past his marker, there seems little danger because he is running away from the goal. But a sudden switch of direction and a fierce angled drive sends the ball into the Bolton net.
15:45 Tottenham take the lead against Blackburn just before the break. Darren Anderton swings over a corner and centre-back Dean Richards has a simple job to head home the opener.
Chelsea 2-1 Southampton
15:32 A deflected shot from Scott Parker at a Luke Young set-piece leaves Ipswich keeper Matteo Sereni stranded - and Charlton are back on level terms after trailing 2-0 after just five minutes. 15:28 Michael Owen misses a great chance to put Liverpool 1-0 up against Bolton. After sprinting past Colin Hendry, he tries to lift the ball over Jussi Jaaskelainen - but the goalkeeper saves well with his legs.
15:19 Normal service is resumed at Stamford Bridge, where in-form Chelsea striker Eidur Gudjohnsen pounces to equalise after Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's header is saved by Paul Jones.
15:16 Charlton pull a goal back to halt rampant Ipswich's charge. Matt Holland fails to clear a long-throw into the area, the ball falls to John Robinson and he lashes a shot past Matteo Sereni.
15:08 Southampton take a surprise lead at high-flying Chelsea. James Beattie drives a 30-yard free-kick over the wall and past Carlo Cudicini.
15:05 Ipswich double their lead. Marcus Bent is sent through by Jim Magilton and chips goalkeeper Dean Kiely for his second goal of the game. 15:04 Emile Heskey finds himself with just the goalkeeper to beat after Dietmar Hamann clips the ball into the Bolton area - but he fluffs his shot and the chance is wasted.
15:01 Ipswich, on a superb run of form in recent weeks, take the lead at Charlton after just 55 seconds. Herman Hreidarsson knocks down a cross in the box - and Marcus Bent is on hand to score from point-blank range. 15:00 Liverpool, looking to steal a march on their title rivals, are immediately on the attack against Bolton, with Patrik Berger firing over the bar in the first minute. All of the Premiership games scheduled for a 15:00 kick-off have beaten the freeze and go ahead as planned. Arsenal's visit to Leicester, which should have been played at 17:30, has been postponed - but the evening fixture between Leeds and West Ham, is on. Team news: Andy Cole makes his Blackburn debut at Tottenham, following his £7.5m move from Manchester United. Kasey Keller continues in goal for Spurs, with Neil Sullivan left on the bench in the wake of the team's poor recent run. Michael Owen, who scored his 100th goal for Liverpool after coming off the bench at West Ham on Saturday, is back in the starting line-up for the game against Bolton. Everton give a surprise call-up to Danny Cadamarteri - making his first start up front for 11 months - for the game at Middlesbrough.
