This week’s Premier League fixtures:

Tuesday 27 December

Liverpool vs Stoke City – 17:15

Wednesday 28 December

Southampton vs Tottenham – 19:45

Friday 30 December

Hull vs Everton

Full time: Hull City 0-3 Manchester City

Second half strikes from Yaya Toure, Kelechi Iheanacho and a Curtis Davies own goal earned City's third consecutive victory and put them within seven points of league leaders, Chelsea. Hull made life very hard for the title contenders and kept City at bay for the majority of proceedings but City's class shone through in the second half after a difficult start at the KCOM stadium.
