    Burnley

    After naming the same starting line-up for five successive games, Burnley boss Sean Dyche is forced into two changes. Ashley Barnes is suspended and Sam Vokes injured, so Lukas Jutkiewicz partners Danny Ings in attack, and Matty Taylor comes in on the wing for his first start since August.

    Leicester's former Burnley striker David Nugent has failed to recover from a calf injury, while Jeffrey Schlupp is also out; Paul Konchesky comes in at left-wing back and Danny Drinkwater starts in midfield, while Andrej Kramaric drops to the bench.

    Burnley XI: Heaton; Trippier, Duff, Shackell, Mee; Boyd, Jones, Arfield, Taylor; Ings, Jutkiewicz.

    Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Wasilewski; Huth, Morgan; Albrighton, King, Cambiasso, Drinkwater, Konchesky; Vardy, Ulloa.

    And Spurs are level!

    A see-sawing match takes another turn as Nacer Chadli scampers clear of the Southampton defence, holds off a challenge and slips a low shot under the sprawling Kelvin Davis to restore parity.

    Liverpool

    West Brom boss Tony Pulis names an unchanged side from the one that won 2-0 at Crystal Palace last-time out. That means Victor Anichebe and Saido Berahino start in attack.

    Mario Balotelli starts for Liverpool as Brendan Rodgers makes three changes. Glen Johnson comes in at full-back while Jordon Ibe returns after missing the FA Cup defeat to Aston Villa because he was cup-tied.

    WBA XI: Myhill, Dawson, McAuley, Lescott, Brunt, Gardner, Fletcher, Yacob, Morrison, Berahino, Anichebe. Subs: Rose, Baird, Olsson, Gamboa, McManaman, Sessegnon, Ideye.

    Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Johnson, Skrtel, Lovren, Can, Ibe, Gerrard, Henderson, Sterling, Coutinho, Balotelli. Subs: Jones, Toure, Manquillo, Lallana, Allen, Borini, Markovic.

    Rest easy Watford fans. And then start to get very, very excited.

    The Hornets' Premier League promotion destiny is going to be firmly in their own hands on the last day. Or they could be up today if results go their way.

    Graziano Pelle looks something like the early-season sensation rather than the man who struggled through winter as he soars to put Saints ahead.

    An aimless clearing header from Ben Davies, a pin-point cross from the right from Shane Long and Pelle rises high above the Spurs centre-backs to arrow in a header.

    George in Fulham: I'm a Fulham supporter and survived scares throughout the season but now we are safe and are going to ruin Boro's chances of getting promotion.

    John: Very relaxing day for us Bristol City fans. League and JPT all won and dusted, we can sit back and enjoy from a distance the rollercoaster that other fans will be riding.

  7. No Johnson for Sunderlandpublished at 14:06 British Summer Time 25 April 2015

    Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat on winger Adam Johnson: "I spoke with him yesterday and he did not train for three days so I thought it better to keep him at home."

    Johnson can continue to play for Sunderland after he was charged on Thursday with three offences of sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl. But he is not involved today.

    The 27-year-old has played three times for the club since his 2 March arrest.

    Just short of the hour mark and it is bubbling up nicely at St Mary's.

    After a series of good chances for Southampton, Spurs come close with Nacer Chadli's cross deflected narrowly over the top off a defender's shin.

    If Steven Davis has his recording box set for tonight's Match of the Day, he will be unsetting it sharpish on his return home.

    A second ugly shank in the space of three minutes, this time after some lovely dinky build-up work from Sadio Mane and Graziano Pelle.

    It is the Saints pushing for a winner.

  14. WHAT A MISS!published at 13:56 British Summer Time 25 April 2015

    Oh Steven Davis.

    The Tottenham defence parts like the Red Sea in front of the Southampton midfielder.

    Perhaps with the whole of the Spurs back four tracking runners instead, they reckon Davis lacks the goal-scoring chops required to score.

    If so, they were right. A real scruffy shot dragged well wide from 20 yards as he stared down the whites of Hugo Lloris's eyes.

    "Big 45 minutes coming up for both these sides in the battle to secure European football next season. A decisive goal would see Saints fall four points behind Spurs with just four games remaining. Sadio Mane continues to worry the Spurs defence. He looks to be Saints' biggest threat here."

    Over at the Amex Stadium, Championship leaders Watford are holding tight to their skinny lead over Brighton.

    Troy Deeney's goal is the difference between the two teams and Brighton have not done much to change the situation.

    Watford fans' minds might wander to their final league game at home to Sheffield Wednesday next weekend. That looks very winnable.

    Plenty of time for late drama today though with 25 minutes to go.

    You can keep up to date with every chance, save and bit of drama with Neil Johnston's live text.

    Former England midfielder on Football Focus

    "I think Hull boss Steve Bruce has been unfortunate with his signings. I looked at those purchases and thought they looked good - they've just not worked out though. Robert Snodgrass seemed a good buy - it didn't work out (he has a long-term injury). Hatem Ben Arfa is one I thought would come good but it didn't pay off."
