- Manchester United 1-6 Manchester City: Fans arrive early outside Old Trafford in anticipation of the 160th Manchester derby. Only a win for United will see them overtake City to return to the summit of the Premier League
- Rival supporters will be hoping their team takes three points, and with both teams starting with two up front - United with Rooney and Welbeck and City with Aguero and Balotelli - the game promises goals
- Nani (left) and David Silva have both been in superb form so far this season and could hold the key to unlocking the opposition's defence. The Manchester United winger scored the winner in the Community Shield in August
- The blue side of Manchester have something to cheer about first as City's volatile striker Mario Balotelli's sweet, first-time strike gives the Premier League leaders an early advantage at Old Trafford
- Early in the second half, Manchester United defender Jonny Evans is dismissed by referee Mark Clattenburg after tripping Mario Balotelli on the edge of the area. Minutes later, City take advantage of the extra man as the Italian scores his second goal
- In an incredible last 10 minutes of the game, Darren Fletcher briefly gives United hope of a comeback, but a brace from Edin Dzeko and a cool finish from David Silva condemn the hosts to their worst home defeat since 1955
- Hearts 0-2 Rangers: The Scottish Premier League's top scorer Steven Naismith (left) gives Rangers the lead with his ninth league goal of the season. The Champions will be looking to maintain their 100% away record this season
- Fulham 1-3 Everton: On-loan Real Madrid winger Royston Drenthe (left), who joined Everton after finding it difficult to break into the first-team at the Bernabeu, is fast becoming a fans' favourite at Goodison Park and gives his side the lead against Fulham
- Fulham striker Bryan Ruiz, who joined the club in the summer from Dutch side Twente, scores his first goal for the Cottagers with a sublime chip over Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard
- Arsenal 3-1 Stoke City: Arsenal's summer signing Gervinho (centre) has experienced a stop-start Gunners career so far but edges his side ahead against Stoke with a well-taken strike
- Two men who tower over most Premier League players, Peter Crouch (left) and Per Mertersacker, have an interesting aerial battle, and it's the Stoke striker who taps home the equaliser, against the run of play
- Despite the departures of big name players in the summer, Arsenal still have Robin van Persie and the Dutchman comes of the bench to bag a brace
- Blackburn v Tottenham: Blackburn fans again protested outside Ewood Park urging the Venky's, owners of the club, to get rid of boss Steve Kean
- The Blackburn fans won't be any happier as Rafael van der Vaart fires in two strikes for Tottenham, either side of an equaliser from Argentine Mauro Formica
- Celtic 2-1 Aberdeen: Celtic secure a narrow victory over Aberdeen as South Korean international Ki Sung-Yeung slots home a finish from Beram Kayal's through ball for the first and Charlie Mulgrew bags the second
- QPR 1-0 Chelsea: QPR striker Heidar Helguson (front) is bundled over in the box by David Luiz and the Icelander picks himself up to tuck home the penalty
- After going a goal down, it goes from bad to worse for Chelsea as they suffer two dismissals. Jose Bosingwa is sent off for bringing down Shaun Wright-Phillips before Didier Drogba (front) is also shown a red for a two-footed lunge on Adel Taarabt
