    Chelsea 1-1 Swansea

    Signs of frustration from the home side, led unsurprisingly by Diego Costa, who is penalised for a foul in the Swansea box as Chelsea threaten. He leaves ref Neil Swarbrick in no doubt that he does not agree with the decision.

  2. CLOSE!published at 16:17 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2017

    Crystal Palace 1-0 Middlesbrough

    Oh Boro!

    A cross from Stewart Downing is headed back into a central position in the area by Fabio. The ball arrives in front of Cristhian Stuani whose firm half volley from 10 yards is punched clear by Wayne Hennessey.

    Palace look somewhat disorganised at the back at the moment.

    Aidan Mifsud:  Sure, LCFC players are praising and thanking Ranieiri but haven't seen any messages of regret or sadness from them. Telling?

    Hull 0-0 Burnley

    Burnley are looking dangerous. Andre Gray beats the offside trap and has a sight of goal from the edge of the box but he pulls his shot just wide of the far post.

    West Brom 2-1 Bournemouth

    Oh, Bournemouth's Marc Pugh is inches from a header that would surely have found the net. A cross is floated towards him at the back post but as he arrives the ball just fails to dip enough and flies past. Really good game, this.

    Hull 0-0 Burnley

    Burnley go close as Ashley Barnes picks up the ball 30 yards out and hammers a shot just wide of the post. Still very much in the balance at the KCOM.

    Crystal Palace 1-0 Middlesbrough

    Gaston Ramirez steps up to take a 20-yard free-kick for Boro.

    He eyes his spot.

    He shoots.

    The ball clears the wall.

    And lands in the gloves of Wayne Hennessey.

    Tame.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:11 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2017

    West Brom 2-1 Bournemouth

    Craig Dawson is up and walking around but he won't be continuing. Sensible. It was a nasty clash of heads in the box that left him sprawled out on the turf.

    On comes James McClean.

    West Brom 2-1 Bournemouth

    Jason Roberts
    Former West Brom striker on Final Score

    That is a horrible clash of heads. As soon as the physio got over there, he made the universal 'substitution' hand signal. Both players are looking rather groggy. 

  10. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:10 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2017

    Chelsea 1-1 Swansea

    Off the bar! Chelsea so close to reclaiming the lead as Cesc Fabregas hammers a strike against the woodwork from Eden Hazard's cut-back.

    Everton 1-0 Sunderland

    David Moyes' side are upping the pressure at Goodison.

    On this occasion, defender Billy Jones goes agonisingly close with a header that drifts two yards wide of Joel Robles' right-hand upright.

  12. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2017

    West Brom 2-1 Bournemouth

    Bad and worse for West Brom. They have had a Nacer Chadli header ruled out for offside but also have Craig Dawson - whose header flicked the ball on - down and not moving. The medical staff are straight on and look concerned.

    Everton 1-0 Sunderland

    Sunderland are on the attack straight from the off. There are half-hearted appeals for a penalty from a corner but ref Stuart Attwell isn't interested.

    They need an early goal. Or a late goal, to be fair.

    Hull 0-0 Burnley

    Dieumerci Mbokani is getting further away from goal. The Hull striker's header goes way, way wide.

    Chelsea 1-1 Swansea

    Brilliant save from Fabianski. Eden Hazard is granted time and space in the box (bad idea) and his low shot is destined for the bottom corner until the Swansea keeper sticks out a strong hand to push the ball away.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:03 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2017

    Crystal Palace 1-0 Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough's Rudy Gestede is on for striker Alvaro Negredo. 

    Injury for the Spaniard? Or a tactical switch?

    So, as it stands the Premier League champions are without a permanent manager and in the bottom three.

    There is a special guest at Stamford Bridge and he is currently getting applause from all four sides of the ground. Frank Lampard is in the house and lapping up the adoration. 

    This and Loose Women in the space of a week. What a life.
