    Former Tottenham & England forward at Selhurst Park for 5 live Sport

    "Riyad Mahrez arrived after Jamie Vardy miscued a left-footed shot. The winger had started the move, and he was there at the end to give the league leaders the lead. 

    "Mahrez made that finish look easy - he passed it into the bottom corner. 

    "That pairing of Vardy and Mahrez pays off again for Leicester."

    Riyad Mahrez

    Leicester fancy it too. The ball is worked wide to the left, Jamie Vardy crosses low, behind the Palace defenders and guess who fires it into the net? Aye, Riyad Mahrez. What a combination that is proving to be. Can they both win player of the season?

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Leicester

    Palace fancy this. Wilfried Zaha is at it down the right now, passes back to Joel Ward, whose high cross is headed down and wide by Yannick Bolasie. The Palace winger looks embarrassed by that effort. The Eagles need to get the ball to him, maybe, always!

    Chelsea 0-1 West Ham

    Oh so close to a second and West Ham are pulling out the party tricks.

    Manuel Lanzini, buoyed by that wonderful goal earlier, backheels a pass into the path of full-back Aaron Cresswell, whose daisycutter is deflected narrowly wide of goal.

    Cresswell for England?

  6. CLOSE!published at 15:31 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2016

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Leicester

    This is a chance for Palace. Yannick Bolasie worms his way to the byline, crosses to the back post, Wilfried Zaha has half the goal to shoot at, but manages to poke it wide of the near post. Disappointing.

    Watford 0-1 Stoke

    Kevin Kilbane
    Former Everton and Republic of Ireland winger on Final Score

    "Mark Hughes always seems to go back to Jon Walters. It's almost like he's Hughes' default plan when they're struggling for results. 

    "Walters has done a great job particularly for Republic of Ireland this year. I think he's had a good season and maybe he's a bit of the fallout guy. He's the one that gets left out for your Xherdan Shaqiri's and your Joselu's but he's done a good job."

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Leicester

    After that early scare for Palace, where Riyad Mahrez went close, the home side are starting to thread a few passes together as "Eagles, Eagles" resounds around Selhurst Park. Their upturn in performance comes at the same time that Yannick Bolasie is seeing more of the ball. Coincidence? I think not.

    Chelsea 0-1 West Ham

    Having fallen behind, youngster Kenedy looks to drag Chelsea back into the contest but the Brazilian's effort is wayward and Adrian can wave it over the crossbar.

    At the back, they're going to need major restructuring work as John Terry and Gary Cahill are all over the place, tackling each other when challenging for the ball. Dimitri Payet can give them the runaround today.

    Watford 0-1 Stoke

    Stoke on top now as they seek to add to their early opener by Jon Walters. Marko Arnautovic is the latest to try his luck but his shot is scuffed wide. 

  11. Championship latestpublished at 15:24 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2016

    A brilliant start for Bristol City who are 2-0 up already against bottom club Bolton, with Aaron Wilbraham and Lee Tomlin both on target within the first 10 minutes.

    Elsewhere the only other goal in the Championship has gone to QPR who are 1-0 up at Preston North End thanks to Sebastian Polter.

    Martin Keown
    Former Arsenal defender on Final Score

    "A beautiful finish from Manuel Lanzini, but I wonder whether the keeper should do better. The power beats Thibaut Courtois, rather than the placement."

    Chelsea 0-1 West Ham

    Brimming with confidence, Dimitri Payet attempts a side-footed volley from around 25-yards out, but Thibaut Courtois can see it wide.

    West Ham look good value for their lead and you wouldn't bet against them getting another.

  14. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:22 Greenwich Mean Time 19 March 2016

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Leicester

    Great chance for Leicester as Riyad Mahrez is put clean through but Wayne Hennessey makes a great stop to deny the Algerian international from giving Leicester a very important lead.

    "Watford are still desperate for points, but Stoke are doing very well under Mark Hughes, going from strength to strength."

    West Brom 0-0 Norwich

    John Ruddy used to be a decent goalkeeper but he's just not so good nowadays. A flaps at a corner which eventually rolls to the edge of the box, but West Brom midfielder Claudio Yacob lashes his shot just wide of goal.

    Things started to heat up around the grounds.

    Jon Walters

    Goal for Stoke but a shocker for Watford defender Miguel Britos. The Stoke right-back surges forward and crosses low into the box, Britos misses it completely, and Jon Walters says 'ta very much' at the back post.
