Both Blackpool v Liverpool and Everton v Birmingham are called off with the north west coast of England still facing the worst of the winter weather which also accounts for nearly every game in League One and Two
Aston Villa 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur: Spurs' Rafael van der Vaart gets the opening goal of the evening kick-off in a lively first half that also sees Jermain Defore sent off for leading with his elbow
The Dutchman gets his second goal of the game, his fourth this season against Villa, finishing a box-to-box break with Gareth Bale at its heart, though Marc Albrighton gets a goal back for the hosts
Blackburn Rovers 0-2 Stoke City: The visitors take the lead just after half time through Robert Huth, scoring from a corner on his 50th Premier League appearance
Stoke secure the win when Mark Wilson, their summer signing from Portsmouth, scores from Ricardo Fuller's right-wing cross, hard luck for Rovers keeper Paul Robinson after a string of saves
Bolton Wanderers 2-0 West Bromwich Albion: Owen Coyle's men are ahead before half time through Matt Taylor's first goal of the season though Peter Odemwingie wastes two good chances for West Brom
Unlucky on Albion but Johan Elmander gets Bolton's second, and his ninth of the season, to push them to within two points of Chelsea at the business end of the table
Newcastle United 1-3 Manchester City: Roberto Mancini may have unlimited funds but has to steady his side through plenty of turmoil this year, so how will they fare against the unpredictable Magpies?
There are only 71 seconds on the clock when Newcastle keeper Tim Krul plays a poor ball straight to Carlos Tevez and the Argentine plays a better one in to Gareth Barry to score
It's 2-0 soon enough thanks again to Tevez, City's captain at the centre of so much this year, who nabs the ball in midfield, lays it on for James Milner to cross, and crashes the ball in to the roof of Krul's net
Andy Carroll draws a goal back from Joey Barton's corner, having run much of the second half, only for Tevez to bag a third with a shot that bounces off two defenders before looping in to the net
Manchester United 2-0 Sunderland: The league leaders score early on - Ryan Giggs wiggles through the Black Cats' midfield, plays it to Wayne Rooney and his chip to the far post is nodded in by Dimitar Berbatov
United, particularly Giggs, Rooney and Berbatov, look rampant and strike the post twice, the crossbar once and go close twice more before half-an-hour is gone against a non-existent Sunderland team
Much as they deserve it, Manchester United's second goal comes by a fluke when Berbatov's shot toward the far post ricochets off Anton Ferdinand and past Craig Gordon at the near stick
Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-2 Wigan Athletic: Either side could drag themselves out of the drop zone today, Wigan taking the lead through Hugo Rodallega when Wolves fail to clear a corner
Rodallega then provides a second for Tom Cleverley with sorry-looking Wolves surrendering all three (and all six euphemistic) points before the break despite Stephen Fletcher's late consolation
Fulham 1-3 West Ham United: The Hammers' defence continues to be suspect, giving Simon Davies too much time to cross and Aaron Hughes too much space to head home the first goal in the lunchtime kick off
Having bossed much of the first half, it's then the hosts' turn to get sloppy as Dickson Etuhu's interception only steers the ball to Carlton Cole, who scores from six yards out
To the surprise of all inside Craven Cottage, the Irons are ahead at the break when Scott Parker gets a second chance to cross and Frederic Piquionne has the freedom of the Fulham box to score in first-half injury time
West Ham look to have wrapped up the three points with a third goal - from Cole again, the assist again from a Fulham defender - that likely casts the hosts in to the bottom three
