Premier League action - in pictures

Despite Fernando Torres having not scored a goal since joining Chelsea in January, Carlo Ancelotti curiously decides to start the Spaniard up front with Salomon Kalou, thereby relegating both Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka to the bench.

It isn't a fruitful tactic. Torres - who, let's not forget, was a record-breaking marksman in his first 50 games for Liverpool - has barely had a peek at goal Photograph: Anthony Devlin/PA

Jay Spearing races towards the Sunderland box and is brought down by John Mensah. The critical word there being towards, not into.
