    The Scottish Thomas Muller - Steven Naismith - comes on for Patrick Bamford for Norwich and Tony Pulis sends Alex Pritchard in place of Craig Gardner.

    20-ish minutes left to play. Can Norwich hold on?

    Crystal Palace 0-1 Leicester

    Here come Palace, can they muster something? Bakary Sako, lively since his introduction at the break, whips in a delicious cross from the left but it misses Wilfried Zaha and the sliding Yohan Cabaye. That needed a Jamie Vardy on the end of it!

    "It's not a clean strike, it's not a true strike, he gets beat at his near post. I'm no keeper specialist but Thibaut Courtois should be saving that."

    Chelsea 1-2 West Ham

    People saying Chelsea would have been better off sticking with Jose Mourinho....seriously he didn't want to be at the club anymore. His embarrassing meltdowns in front of the press showed that. I honestly think we'd be nearer to the drop zone if he'd stayed. Guus has done a good stabilization job. Whoever comes in the summer needs to rebuild. John Terry is a club legend but needs to move on now, clean slate. Fresh start all around. Would love to see the younger players given some proper game time. Ruben Loftus-Cheek could be this decades John Terry for the club, different position, same hunger and passion for the club.

    Crystal Palace 0-1 Leicester

    Martin Keown makes an excellent point (see 16:22). Leicester are doing it the old-school way. Hard as nails centre-backs, 4-4-2, playing the same team every week. They aren't ripping up the rule book, they've just gone back to English football in the 1990s.

    West Brom 0-1 Norwich

    Robbie Brady is a tough cookie. What looked like a serious injury is thankfully nothing more than a scare.

    The goalscorer challenges for an aerial ball but it swiped out by Craig Dawson and the Republic of Ireland man falls to the ground and lands on his neck.

    There is immediate concern with the stretcher coming on, but Brady shrugs his shoulders and jogs back onto the pitch.

  10. Championship latestpublished at 16:24 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2016

    Peter Odemwingie has scored on his home debut to extend Bristol City's lead over Bolton to 3-0.

    Third-placed Brighton have taken the lead at MK Dons through substitute Tomer Hemed's penalty, while Birmingham have equalised at home to Fulham through Michael Morrison's header.

    Blackburn are down to 10 men at Brentford after Grant Hanley was shown his second yellow card.

    The have been no other goals in the second half of the other Championship fixtures with leaders Burnley still being held by Wolves.

    Martin Keown
    Former Arsenal defender on Final Score

    "Thibaut Courtois is not the keeper he was last season. But what a goal from Andy Carroll, just off the bench! 

    "West Ham's luck is in at the moment, after a brave decision to bring a forward on for a midfielder. And Chelsea really are here for the taking."

    Watford 0-2 Stoke

    Odion Ighalo, a man who ended his goalscoring drought of seven games in the FA Cup win over Arsenal last weekend, still cannot buy a goal in the Premier League. He drifts into the box, collects the lofted through ball, but his last touch lets him down.

    GOAL - Chelsea 1-2 West Hampublished at 16:20 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2016

    Andy Carroll (61 mins)

    What an introduction this is.

    Andy Carroll scores barely two minutes after coming on, but let me tell you, Chelsea players have not covered themselves in glory here. 

    Dimitri Payet - who we all know is the most dangerous player on the pitch - breezes past John Mikel Obi before feeding Carroll. That's mistake one.

    Mistake two is letting the ball go through into the path of Carroll.

    The Englishman scuffs his shot which ends up in the back of the net. For some reason, Thibaut Courtois falls over and he would have had an easy catch if he just stayed standing up. Mistake three. Punished.

    West Brom midfielder Craig Gardner whips a naughty free-kick straight across the six-yard box but no home player can get on the end of it.

    Another long throw for Leicester causes havoc in the Palace box. I hope Rory Delap sees this, nay, Vinnie Jones. He could take one, too.

    Leaders Burton are on course to extend their lead at the top after going 2-0 up at Port Vale, while second-placed Wigan are being held at home by sixth-placed Bradford.

    The teams immediately below them are struggling - Walsall, in third, are losing 1-0 at home to Colchester while fourth-placed Gillingham are still 1-0 down at Southend.

    Millwall, in fifth, lead Sheffield United 1-0, while bottom club Colchester are 1-0 up at Walsall. Crewe, in 23rd, trail 22nd-placed Blackpool 1-0. Oldham, in 21st, took the lead against Rochdale but now trail 2-1.

    Bakary Sako is trying to make a difference to the game since coming on at half-time but despite winning a corner for the hosts, the Foxes stand firm. Don't forget that Leicester have the best record in the Premier League, and it looks like it's set to continue.

    Chelsea 1-1 West Ham

    Where did that come from? Fooled everyone.

    Future England full-back Aaron Cresswell on the rampage sees his mis-hit cross come back off the bar.

    Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was beaten and a couple of inches lower, it would have been two to the Hammers.
