19:30: Welcome to the 15th game of the season where things are really starting to hot up. The big game of the day comes at Anfield where a Liverpool side who find themselves in the top 4 position look to carry their form into this game against Season 2 and 3 winners and current league leaders Arsenal. Arsenal are in great form at the moment where there is a 6 point gap between them and Chelsea. We also have 2 games that are involved with the Europa battle. Hull host Wolves in a game where both teams need to win in order to stay close to their league rivals. This is Wilshere’s first game back, will he motivate Wolves to do better? The other game is between Aston Villa and Portsmouth where both are still close to the top 4 so they’ll need the points to keep up with Liverpool. Lower down the league we see Everton host Reading which could be a decider in the relegation battle. Other league games are city vs wba, Birmingham vs Newcastle, Wigan vs QPR and Spurs vs Sunderland.

Unbelievable scenes at Anfield as the Liverpool fans go crazy. Two shots two goals and its looking bleak for Arsenal as the Liverpool team defend the corner.

50th Min: GOAL ALERT Liverpool 2-1 Arsenal (Robin Van Persie)
SURELY OFFSIDE. That goal is illegal but the linesman is as blind as Fan at a corner shop. Silva crosses the ball into the centre for Robin Van Persie who is clearly 2 metres offside but his low shot goal is counted

66th Min: ISSUE AT GOODISON PARK
Joselu runs in with the ball into the box and then lays it back to Nainggolan who is outside the box but before he can do anything Inler slide tackles him winning the ball back perfectly and tries to start off another attack.

A beautiful run by Mandzukic into the box and then lobs the ball into the air for Oliver Giroud to header in.

73rd Min: GOAL ALERT Everton 1-1 Reading (Bony)

77th Min: BIG NEWS AT ANFIELD
Well i think this shows unprofessional behaviour and is a bad example for any young manager out there and players. After throwing his water bottle at the linesman LSTD has been given a and sent to the stands

A tap in by Raheem Sterling when he was found by Robben near the post.

80th Min: Bertrand > Di Maria (Man City) Bent for Torres (QPR),

WHAT A STORY THIS IS 2 minutes after the supposed winner by Arsenal, Liverpool go and quickly equalise. Ramires runs down the wing and sets up Juan Mata for his 2nd goal of the game where he smacks it into the top right corner. Surely its game over.

85th Min: GOAL ALERT Wigan 1-0 QPR (Klose) and Man City 2-0 West Brom (Benzema)
Well we haven’t heard much from this game but its finally opened up as Klose headers in a corner. While in Cities game they have gone 2 up as
Suarez puts Benzema through and he chips it over the keeper.

86th Min: Newcastle looking dodgy in defence as they’re nervously making mistakes. A poor clearance by Godin leads to a corner. A dull game at Goodison Park now as both teams are cancelling each other out. Hull are constantly attacking Wolves but no sign of a girl as of yet.

87th Min: A GOAL BUT WHERE

87th Min: Aston Villa 2-2 Portsmouth (Lewandowski)
A magnificent run by Suso into the box leads him to setting up Robert Lewandowski for an equaliser where he turned and kicked the ball into the centre of the goal.

88th Min: GOAL ALERT: Birmingham 3-2 Newcastle (Hummels) and Hull 1-1 Wolves (Huntelaar)

90th Min: Every game bar 3 has now finished

91st Min: Oh dear oh no. What a plonker this ref is. Villa runs into the box for Arsenal only for Cahill to push him on the floor. That was a dirty challenge but the ref leaves it and carries on play.

92nd Min: GOAL ALERT Man City 2-1 WBA (Zaha) and Tottenham 1-2 Sunderland (Chadli)
A last minute goal for 2 teams here as Wilfried Zaha collects a dead ball in the box and curls the ball round the defender and into the goal. While Chadli taps in the ball from a cross to win it for Sunderland.

93rd Min: Full Time at Eastlands and White Hart Lane

94th Min: Well the 4 minutes extra time is up. Why hasn’t the ref blown the whistle at Anfield

95th Min: Ramires almost scores as he is set up by Martinez. Ramires tried to smack it in the far corner but the keeper punches it out and it goes out for a throw in. The 4 minutes are up hes played an extra minute. Time to end it ref but why isn’t he?

96th Min: This is a joke by this ref. He has been terrible and is not ending a game that should have ended 2 minutes ago. He should be sacked.

97th Min: GOAL ALERT Liverpool 3-4 Arsenal (Van persie)
Well boos are filling the stadium as this goes in. Rooney runs into the box and shoots keeper saves it and Robin Van Persie follows up and hits it in. Boos everywhere as the ref blows the final whistle. He played on for another 3 minutes. This ref should be sacked or relegated to the Blue Square Leagues.
