    West Brom 0-0 West Ham

    Almost a sensational start! Jonathan Leko goes close to an opener for West Brom as the 17-year-old skins his man down the right and finds Craig Gardner, but his shot is cleared off the line!

    Leko is then clattered by Aaron Cresswell. Ooof.

    Tom Cleverley (7 mins)

    Phew! Roberto Martinez - and the whole of Goodison - let out a big sigh of relief. The home side make the perfect start as Tom Cleverley jinks into an space on the edge of the Bournemouth box, giving himself enough room to fire a low angled drive into the bottom right corner.

    Everton 0-0 Bournemouth

    Everton seeing plenty of the ball in the opening few minutes, Roberto Martinez standing arms crossed on the touchline. Chomping hard on gum. He looks like a man under pressure.

    Moment of worry for the Toffees as Marc Pugh bursts into the left side of the home box, makeshift right-back Mo Besic beautifully timing his sliding challenge to avert the danger.

    West Brom 0-0 West Ham

    Steady start a The Hawthorns where teenager Jonathan Leko has had a few early touches. Apparently he is trending in the UK. Get him a new deal. Image rights.

    Newcastle 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Former Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye gets a 'mixed' reception as he steps up to take an early Palace corner. His early-season sparkle has rather fizzled out. Much like the rest of this Palace squad who were fifth at the turn of the year don't forget!

    Stoke 0-0 Sunderland

    Sunderland start the day just above the drop zone - and that remains the aim for the rest of the season. The Black Cats are wearing their two-tone green effort this afternoon. Can they get a win on the road?

    Marko Arnautovic is almost in on goal for Stoke inside 30 seconds but he loses his footing. A nervy start...

    Before the football begins, a poignant moment at each of the Premier League grounds - particularly Goodison Park - as they each hold a minute's applause for the Hillsborough verdict.

    'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother' plays out over the Goodison PA as the families of the 96 walk out to the centre circle to a standing ovation. Shadow Home Secretary Andy Burnham watches on, while a 'Justice At Last, Brothers In Arms' banner is unfurled in the Gwladys Street End.

    Margaret Aspinall, one of the leading campaigners, shares a warm hug with Everton manager Roberto Martinez on the touchline.

    Gallows humour from some of the travelling Villa fans at Vicarage Road. 

    "We fancied a change, we fancied a chaaaaange, just for one season, we fancied a change!" reads a banner in the away end.

    A season-long holiday (at the very least) in the Champo awaits.

    A busy day in Europe. Bayern Munich are about 90 minutes away from sealing their first Bundesliga in front of their home fans since 2000. 

    In Spain, the top three - all separated by one point - are in action.

    Real Sociedad v Real Madrid (15:00 BST)

    Atletico Madrid v Rayo Vallecano (17:15 BST)

    Real Betis v Barcelona (19:30 BST)

    Chris Sutton
    Former Norwich striker on Final Score

    "I think Everton have totally underachieved this season. As manager Martinez has to take responsibility, they can't see games through.

    "I think a lot of his problem is the rubbish he talks after the games, I think he has lost credibility with the supporters because of that."

    "I think Newcastle and Norwich will go down. It is a must win for Newcastle today, they have to win two out of the last three. Sunderland have continuity now, they are keeping clean sheets and have a goal scorer in Jermain Defoe."

    And another heartwarming tribute to the Hillsborough victims at Vicarage Road. 'You'll Never Walk Alone' is blasting out of the sound system, with both sets of fans holding their yellow/claret and blue scarves aloft while belting out the Liverpool anthem.

    Stoke v Sunderland (15:00 BST)

    Interesting goings on in the away end at a (presumably VERY cold) Britannia.

    One Sunderland fan has found use for a Sunderland hat received at Christmas, a full-on ear coverer complete with white bobbles.

    While two other guys at the front go to the other extreme. Tops off.

    National League

    Altrincham travel to Braintree in the National League needing a win to give them up any hope of staying up, while the hosts can secure a play-off place with three points.

    Two intrepid Alty fans are cycling 225 miles in two days from Cheshire to Braintree to raise money for charity and hope to arrive before kick-off. Get pedalling lads...
