Olivier Giroud has a header tipped over. Fraser Forster has been a colossal presence for the Saints tonight.

Into the closing stages of tonight's nine fixtures.

In the Championship, Ipswich and Reading are level at 1-1 after a lacklustre first half while it's the same scoreline between play-off contenders Sheffield Wednesday and Burnley.

Walsall have a two-goal lead at Doncaster as they continue their push for the League One promotion places while League Two play-off hopefuls Portsmouth have the lead at Morecambe.

That's it for Jesus Navas, who has hurt his hamstring and is replaced by Raheem Sterling.

City, by the way, are struggling for a second and Billy Jones has just had a shot tipped over by Joe Hart.

West Ham have now had 18 shots - if there are more goals in this you can guess which end they will come at...

Southampton scream for a penalty when Shane Long's shot is blocked at close range by Gabriel. No penalty, but the Arsenal defender looks relieved.

Manny Singh Grewal: Liverpool proving they're just not good enough. Wonder what Klopp will do during the summer period with the team?

Kartik Venkat: Well Jurgen is having a brush with grim reality. Of how bad this squad is. And is Sakho still on £100k?

James McClean is like a terrier down the left for West Brom and he manages to get in a decent cross to the back stick where Darren Fletcher has timed his run perfectly but his header is wide.

Leicester up to 50 points as it stands, flying. But it's Liverpool who keep the ball well, Christian Benteke is on now. If he's worth £32m what does that make Jamie Vardy on current form?

Jesus Navas pulls up clutching his hamstring. Early bath, by the looks of it.

Emmanuel Adebayor is back in the Premier League. ON. Can he arrest the Palace slump?

David Ljunggren: Perhaps we can stop those "Mark Hughes to Chelsea/Man Utd" rumours for a while. Stoke are looking pretty average tonight.

Mitesh Mistry: Martial, Mata & Rooney just awesome tonight. Light at the end of the tunnel for LVG? 4th place still possible?

"The Leicester forwards were swamping Mamadou Sakho. They put pressure on you, force you into mistakes. That's why they score this goal. Roy Hodgson is so excited he's bouncing in his seat!"

Sunderland 0-1 Man City

We've found somebody who doesn't duck a 50-50 challenge with Yaya Toure.

In fact somebody, who relishes it and leaves Yaya eating grass.

Ladies and gentlemen... Lamine Kone.

Emmanuel Adebayor warming up alert...

Will, Villa fan: Livid with Ayew. His stupidity and selfishness has cost us a game we were looking very positive in.

Shinji Okazaki waves into the penalty area, he goes down under a challenge - is that a spot-kick? Nothing given...

Not seen a replay yet.

Liam Grayhurst: Typical of Arsenal to choke on the prospect of a title challenge when we are nowhere near the business end of the season.

Arsenal just can't score. Whatever they do.

Mesut Ozil puts in a wonderful cross from the right and Laurent Koscielny (what's he doing up there?) heads over from six yards out.

The Gunners have improved since Theo Walcott came on.
