Chelsea v West Bromwich Albion
Diego Costa struck his 11th goal in 10 Premier League games as leaders Chelsea cruised to a comfortable 2-0 home win over 10-man West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
Costa put the hosts on course for victory in the 11th minute and Eden Hazard added a second in the 25th minute, shortly before Claudio Yacob was dismissed for an ugly, two-footed lunge on Costa.
The one-sided win extended Jose Mourinho's side's lead at the head of the table to seven points, 48 hours before second-place Southampton travel to Aston Villa.
Everton v West Ham United
Leon Osman ensured his 400th Everton appearance was one to savour as he scored the decisive goal in their 2-1 Premier League victory over West Ham United.
Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku had put the Toffees ahead in the first half before Mauro Zarate equalised for the Hammers 11 minutes into the second period.
But 33-year-old midfielder Osman helped Roberto Martinez's side collect all three points when he finished off an Everton counter-attack from close range in the 73rd minute.
Newcastle v QPR
Newcastle climbed to fourth in the Premier League after Moussa Sissoko's second half strike clinched a 1-0 win over QPR.
Sissoko's goal 12 minutes from time at St James' Park was enough to give Alan Pardew's revitalised side their sixth successive win just weeks after they looked destined for another season of struggle.
Pardew's men have not conceded a goal in 432 minutes and will be starting to dream of securing a place in European competition next season.
Manchester City v Swansea
Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure emerged from his recent slump to score a superb solo goal that gave the Premier League champions a much-needed 2-1 victory over Swansea at Eastlands.
The result ends a run of just one victory in their previous six games for City, who now move on to a crucial Champions League group game against Bayern Munich on Tuesday, a match for which Toure is suspended following his dismissal in City's last European game against CSKA Moscow.
Leicester City v Sunderland
Leicester City failed to score for the fifth straight match as they were held 0-0 by Sunderland in a bottom-of-the-table Premier League clash at the King Power Stadium.
However Nigel Pearson's team dragged themselves one place clear of the bottom three on goal difference, ahead of Burnley who triumphed 2-1 at Stoke.
