In the other games, Stoke beat Everton 1-0 and Hull snapped a 10-game winless run by defeating Sunderland 3-1 to climb out of the relegation zone.Leicesters miserable season back in the top flight continued with a 2-1 home loss to Spurs, leaving the team in last place and six points from safety.

Terry tapped home from close range in the 31st following a downward header from a corner from Costa, who made it 2-0 in the 62nd with a low finish for his 13th goal in the season.It was a dominant performance from Chelsea, which was barely troubled until the last few minutes.The challenge this season was to bring that creativity, that dynamism, without losing the good defensive qualities of the team, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said. In this moment, we have a good balance.Playing without a striker for the second straight game, City relied on its midfielders for goals in blizzard-like conditions at The Hawthorns and they obliged through Fernando, Yaya Toure — from the penalty spot — and David Silva.It was Citys seventh straight win in the league, with the defending champions showing the kind of form that swept them to a second title in three years last season.There could be a new twist in the title race on Sunday when Chelsea heads to Southampton, which has recovered from its recent slump and is hard to beat at St. Marys Stadium. City hosts Burnley.Rooney, starting again in central midfield, scored in the 23rd and 36th minutes before setting up Robin van Persie for Uniteds other goal at Old Trafford to help extend the teams unbeaten run to eight games.I was very pleased because we dominated for 90 minutes, United manager Louis van Gaal said. We make progress in every game.Liverpool began its game at Turf Moor in its lowest Christmas position since 1992-93. But a change of formation to 3-4-3 has rejuvenated last seasons runner-up and they recovered from a slow start at Burnley to record a first victory in four matches, climbing to ninth and seven points behind Southampton.Sterling scored the winner in the 62nd, latching onto a lobbed pass from Philippe Coutinho and rounding the goalkeeper to roll a shot into the unguarded net.After having an early penalty saved, Sanchez scored Arsenals opener against QPR before setting up
