    "Swansea's problem is they can't get out of their own half. They need an out-ball and can't find it right now. They can't settle. The first five minutes have been all Leicester, Swansea have hardly had a touch."

    It remains all Leicester against Swansea. Jordi Amat's booking puts him in a tricky predicament against the elusive Jamie Vardy. He daren't put in a tackle and allows the cross to come over but thankfully for the away side a man in the middle is able to head clear before Leonardo Ulloa can get there.

    Steven N'Zonzi has piled a shot well over the top in the early stages for Stoke, while Southampton look to settle into their usual pattern of play. Both full-backs pushing well up.

    "It was Jason Puncheon, who is not renowned for his defensive qualities, at fault as Morrison ran off him for a free header."

    "There was nobody in the area to head clear for Crystal Palace. James Morrison gave Jason Puncheon the slip and it was a free header. An easy goal for West Brom (see 15:01)."

    Leicester have started in fifth gear. Jordi Amat is booked for a foul that allows the home side to swing in a cross that is met by Leonardo Ulloa but not with sufficient power to direct it goalwards. Soon after, Esteban Cambiasso turns well but is blocked before he can get away a shot on the edge of the box.

    A very lively start from Ross Barkley: Tackles, neat touches and now a good run and shot from 22 yards, but the England man drags it wide from range.

    Stoke forward Jon Walters is playing in a protective face mask and he's already had it pulled off in a very physical confrontation with Ryan Bertrand. Watch this space.

    "Leonardo Ulloa would have been gutted he wasn't down to start the game, so it'll be interesting to see his reaction. They've started really brightly though Leicester, they're straight on the front foot."

    Ulloa was a late addition to the Leicester line-up, after David Nugent suffered an injury in the warm-up.

    What a start for West Brom. The Baggies are bouncing as a corner is allowed to reach James Morrison completely unmarked in the box to head home from eight yards out. Awful defending. Simple finish. That is a goal.

    Ross Barkley lets them know he's there early doors! A really heavy challenge in midfield and he's lucky not to be booked inside 25 seconds. Maybe he is the new Gazza after all.

  12. Monk for manager of the yearpublished at 15:01 British Summer Time 18 April 2015

    "Swansea manager Garry Monk has been outstanding. For me he is right up there for manager of the year especially when you look at the resources he has at Swansea. I'm sure they will give it to Jose Mourinho but Garry should be right up there and spoken about. Swansea have already got a record-equalling 47 points but they will want to push on here today at Leicester."

    Leicester aren't hanging around. In the first 10 seconds, Jamie Vardy makes a charge at the Swansea box and is halted just before he reaches it by a tentative tackle from Federico Fernandez.

    And we are under way in the 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League and up and down the country in the Football League. This show is very much on the road.

    "Roberto Martinez has used the fact Everton were in the Europa League as an excuse for their poor league form, but they have not been good enough this season. If you want to be a top manager you play in Europe and get on with it.

    "I like the job Sean Dyche has done at Burnley. They have to win an away game some time, so why not today?"

    Teams are leaving dressing rooms and making their way towards grass across the country as I type. The next 90 or so minutes could go a long way to sculpting the battle at the bottom of the Premier League over the remaining weeks of the season. It promises to be a gripping afternoon. In short: go nowhere.

    "West Brom have a really tough run-in, so they need a point or two to be safe.

    "Tony Pulis did a fantastic job at Crystal Palace and I was sad to see him go from there."

    "West Brom have been so dreadful and wide open in their past few games, which you don't expect from a Tony Pulis side. All of a sudden that has put them back into the mire, but I do think they'll still be OK. The bottom three have got too much to do to catch them up."

    Carl: Can anyone not see West Bromwich Albion getting sucked in with their run in?

    Barry Martin: I'm an Aston Villa fan and I'm sure we're safe. Sunderland have no fight when they go behind. No miracle this year, guaranteed to go.

  20. Lots of positives to take from seasonpublished at 14:51 British Summer Time 18 April 2015

    Leicester manager Nigel Pearson: "If you just look at the results it has been a disappointing season. But I think there will be an awful lot of positivity taken from the season. The club is in a better position than one or two years ago, there has been a steady improvement. I get irritated from all the negativity, I find negative people to be particularly nauseating."
