Aston Villa's tactics under Tim Sherwood are simple but effective. They chip it to Christian Benteke, he rolls two men straight from kick-off and gets a shot away.

There goes the whistle around the grounds. We are under way...

West Ham display a picture of former defender Rio Ferdinand and his wife before the whole stadium takes part in a moment's applause.

It follows the shocking news this morning that the wife of former Manchester United and England captain Ferdinand has died from cancer.

The QPR defender, 36, released a statement saying his "wonderful wife and soul mate" Rebecca Ellison had "passed away peacefully" at a London hospital.

Ms Ellison, 34, who married Ferdinand in 2009, had breast cancer.

The teams are in the tunnel at Villa Park. Seven dates are emblazoned above the players' heads under the banner 'FA Cup winners.'

The Villans could make that eight at the end of the month. First they must secure a place in the Premier League. Here they come...

Leicester defender Wes Morgan told BT Sport: "It was a big performance. We came out of the blocks firing and the early goal put us in the driving seat.

"But our work isn't done yet. There's still games remaining. We've got points but we probably need another win to be certain. We ignored that [Nigel Pearson's spat with a journalist] and concentrated on our jobs. We wanted the three points badly."

Striker Jamie Vardy: "The performance today deserved the three points. We need to just take it into the next game. Nigel Pearson transfers his belief straight into us. He's been in the media a bit, taking a stance for us. We back him on the pitch."

A plane flies over Anfield towing a banner which read 'Rodgers out Rafa in'.

Is that the view of many Liverpool fans?

Newcastle fans will be Southampton fans this afternoon.

If Sunderland beat the Saints, the Magpies will be just three points clear of the drop zone. An Aston Villa win at home to Everton as well, would leave John Carver's men two points clear of safety. Nervy, nervy times.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has handed a bouquet of flowers to QPR's Joey Barton before the game.

Both sets of players are wearing black armbands this afternoon following the shocking news this morning that the wife of former Manchester United and England captain Rio Ferdinand has died from cancer.

The QPR defender, 36, released a statement saying his "wonderful wife and soul mate" Rebecca Ellison had "passed away peacefully" at a London hospital.

Ms Ellison, 34, who married Ferdinand in 2009, had breast cancer.

BBC Radio 5 live's Stuart Pearce at the Kingpower Stadium

"Leicester thoroughly deserved the victory. There were flashes of decent play from Newcastle in the first-half but not in the second-half. The worst case scenario you could paint for the football club has happened they lost 3-0, had two players sent-off. The finger of blame should not be pointed at the manager but solely at the players they need to give more for this wonderful club.

"I think 35 points will only be enough because at least three teams will not achieve that mark. But if Sunderland win their game all of a sudden it will be nervous times at Newcastle in the last three games."

Newcastle fans hold a banner in the away end saying "We don't demand a teams that tries, we demand a club that tries."

"Liverpool and QPR fans will wear black arm bands as a mark of respect following the passing of Rio Ferdinand's wife Rebecca."

Swansea manager Garry Monk: "It's important for us to finish strongly. It was one of our targets this season to finish in the top 10 and maybe control that eighth place."

Monk accused Victor Moses, then on loan at Stoke from Chelsea, of "cheating" to win a penalty when Swansea were beaten 2-1 at the Britannia Stadium in October, but says there's no ill feeling now.

He says: "Whenever you lose against any team, it's important to win the next. We'd like to win the game, but we've moved on since the fixture earlier in the season. We hope to win the game.

BBC's Richard Askam at Bloomfield Road: "The match has been abandoned. A few hundred supporters ran onto the pitch at 47 minutes and over an hour later a couple of hundred are still on the pitch. The referee has taken the decision to abandon the match."

Newcastle are very much back in the relegation mire as they lose their eighth successive match.

The Foxes are now four points clear of safety, ahead of this afternoon's matches, just a point behind the Magpies.

Guy Mowbray
BBC Match of the Day commentator

"Forget "No, Nay, Never"*, for Burnley it's NOW or never for getting the points they need to stay in the Premier League - or they'll "play B****** Rovers" again sooner than they'd like to.

"Five points away from safety, the Clarets are more than likely looking at a minimum of three wins from their remaining four games to stay up - a tall order for a team that have only won five of 34 this season.

"With Sam Allardyce having set a target (of sorts) of 50 points and a ninth-place finish to represent "progress" this season, his West Ham team need to re-focus for the run-in - not least to help the position of a boss Stewart Downing says the players "love playing for".

BBC Radio 5 live's Stuart Pearce at the King Power Stadium

"Newcastle look a very beaten and downcast side. Leicester are a team transformed, they are playing with confidence, poise and panache. There is a lovely feel good factor around the stadium. It was the perfect time for them to play Newcastle."

Abubata Odinaka: Sad day for Derby fans. In February they were dreaming, today they were hoping, now, they are shattered... Steve McClaren for Newcastle?

Matthew Willingham: Great result today and well done on a solid season Norwich City can't wait to face Ipswich in the play-offs.

John Dykes: Wolves also deserve credit for a fantastic push for the play-offs. Couldn't do much more, unlucky.

There's one change for each side at Upton Park.

Morgan Amalfitano comes into the West Ham midfield for Matt Jarvis, meanwhile Alex Song is fit enough to return to the bench after a back problem.

Burnley striker Ashley Barnes is back after a suspension, so Lukas Jutkiewicz drops to the bench.

West Ham XI: Adrian, Jenkinson, Collins, Burke, Cresswell, Amalfitano, Noble, Kouyate, Nolan, Downing, Valencia

Burnley XI: Heaton, Trippier, Shackell, Duff, Mee, Boyd, Arfield, Jones, Taylor, Barnes, Ings

Newcastle are reduced to nine men as Dutch defender Daryl Janmaat sees red for a cheap second booking.
