    Burnley 1-0 Leeds

    That's 18 games unbeaten in the league now for Burnley and 13 in all competitions. They weren't at their best today, but they've still won, and don't people say that's how you win titles?  

    The Clarets are [momentarily] four points clear at the top of the Championship.

    Andy Carroll's hat-trick has divided opinion over who Roy Hodgson should take to the Euros.

    Percy, Oxford: I'm all for international experience, but Antonio is class; powerful, versatile and has end product. How can Hodgson not give him a go with how poor Ox, Theo and Sterling are?  

    Paul, London: Some incredibly short memories out there. Picking Carroll for England on the basis of a good 15 minutes would be a joke. He's scored 18 goals in 4 seasons since the last Euros.

    Hassan Aljumah: Creswell and Noble should be on the plane. Surely they offer more than Gibbs and Milner.

    Alistair Wiseman: That's a Tony Adams finish from Koscielny there. Composed, picked his spot. Impressive.

    Matt: I am an Arsenal club member but refuse to buy a ticket to watch this team until Wenger makes massive defensive changes. 

    Mark: Sick of people saying 'this is why Arsenal won't win the league'. We never thought we would after the defeats against Chelsea and Swansea. Plus Leicester City's consistency.

    An experimental look to Chelsea's line-up, with Alexandre Pato starting up front and Matt Miazga continuing at centre-back. And Thibaut Courtois pays the price for his uncertain form between the sticks - he's replaced by Asmir Begovic.

    Aston Villa v Bournemouth (15:00 BST)

    It's perhaps not surprising, but Aston Villa fans sound as if they want to fast-forward to the end of the season.

    Gary Timms: Can people stop saying us Villa fans will be put out of our misery if we go down today. We still have to play the other five games.

    Martin Harrison: Come on Bournemouth and Norwich - and just officially relegate us lol.

    West Ham 2-2 Arsenal

    Dimitri Payet has the ball in the net for West Ham, but once again, it's been ruled out.

    Striker Andy Carroll turns inside Laurent Koscielny, who tries to shepherd the ball to goalkeeper David Ospina, but neither clear and Payet tucks the ball in.

    Should it have been disallowed? Looks harsh.

  18. Championship previewpublished at 13:44 British Summer Time 9 April 2016

    Bolton will be relegated today if they fail to win at sixth-placed Derby. A win would not even be enough if both Rotherham (who play relegation rivals MK Dons in a huge match) and Fulham (at home to play-off chasers Cardiff) avoid defeat.

    Second-placed Middlesbrough are at home to Preston, while fourth-placed Hull go Huddersfield.

    Sheffield Wednesday, in fifth, are at 20th-placed Bristol City, who are not entirely safe yet. 

    Ipswich, who have a slim play-off hope, are at home to Brentford, while struggling Charlton - seven points adriftgo to QPR.

    Tony Toboski:  Should Carroll have still been on the pitch to make the pass for the disallowed goal? You can't selectively choose debatable decisions. 

    Nick Clohessy: The argument here is that Carroll should have seen red on 4 minutes, and now he's scored 2 goals.

    Thabit Jacob: Bilic will have to be at his poetic best to describe Carroll's finish.
