    Swansea 1-0 Stoke

    Jordan Ayew races into the box and tries to side-foot past Jack Butland, but the Stoke keeper makes himself big and the danger is cleared.

    At the other end, Saido Berahino's effort goes straight at keeper Lukasz Fabianski.

    After that flurry of chances, the whistle goes.

    Hull 0-0 Watford

    It's been all Watford at the KCOM Stadium after Oumar Niasse's sending off.

    Hull might be happy to escape with a point.

    Bang average. 

  4. Boro's strikers 'have lost confidence'published at 15:45 British Summer Time 22 April 2017

    Middlesbrough, at the start of the season, would have been happy to finish the season fourth from bottom. 

    But their tactic from the first game was counter-attacking, and if you barely create chances in multiple matches your frontmen lose confidence. That then resulted in Aitor Karanka trying to change tactics, and they have never settled on a successful formula.

  5. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:45 British Summer Time 22 April 2017

    Bournemouth 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Ouchy.

    That looked pretty innocuous at first as Dan Gosling went down off the ball clutching his calf, but the midfielder was only making his return from injury today and looks to be in pain.

    That forces Eddie Howe into a change, with Lewis Cook coming on in Gosling's place.

    West Ham 0-0 Everton

    West Ham are putting more and more pressure on the Everton defence but still no goals.

    There's a scramble in the box, which ends in Cheikhou Kouyate trying and failing with an overhead kick.

    Slaven Bilic's side have scored 18 goals at home this season - eight fewer than they have away.

    Bournemouth 2-0 Middlesbrough

    I hope the Middlesbrough fans who've travelled the length of the country to Bournemouth have made a weekend of it.

    With the sun out, an ice cream and a trip to the beach might be the only remedy for what they've witnessed from their side so far today.

    And they better make the most of it, as on this showing they won't be around for a return visit to the Vitality Stadium next season.

    Hull 0-0 Watford

    Watford have adopted a direct approach as they look to open the scoring at Hull.

    Send the big lads up and stick it in the box is the order of the day.

    This time, centre-back Miguel Britos finds space in the area but can only direct his header narrowly wide of the far post.

    Hull hanging on.

    Everton's performance so far has been indifferent. At the moment it's scrappy, both teams giving the ball away too easily, and you'd hope this match will soon settle down.

    West Ham 0-0 Everton

    Manuel Lanzini lifts the ball over the box to find James Collins but the big man with the ginger beard can't get on the end of it, as Everton defender Ashley Williams has got his body in the way.

    Everton have had only one touch in West Ham's box so far. Not great from Ronald Koeman's side.

    So few goalscoring opportunities get created by Middlesbrough - you can't blame the strikers. It's like the old saying: you don't need to change the gun, just change the bullets.

    I've never heard that turn of phrase before... have you?

    Bournemouth 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough have done well to stem the flow at Bournemouth.

    This one could've turned into an absolute drubbing after Boro found themselves two goals and a man down, but they've hung on for 20 minutes without conceding since the hosts' second...

    Mind you, they've offered little promise of scoring at the other end.

    It is a little difficult to gauge the mood inside the Liberty Stadium.

    At times, the place is bouncing with noise and optimism as Swansea search for a precious win.

    At others, it is gripped with nerves - such as when Stoke's Saido Berahino wasted a great opportunity as he headed wide from Joe Allen's pinpoint cross. This game is on a knife edge.

    James Ballantyne: For once this season Boro might find themselves the first match on Match of the Day, though not for the right reasons... 

    Andy: This could be the worst West Ham team in five years. I thought the move to Olympic Stadium meant we could strengthen the squad?

    Hull 0-0 Watford

    Hull have come under some increased pressure since Oumar Niasse's sending off, but they've found goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic in inspired form.

    Defender Sebastian Prodl rises highest in the box to head goalwards from a corner for Watford, but the Hull stopper is at his athletic best to push that one round the post.

    One for the highlights reel.

    Swansea 1-0 Stoke

    Joe Allen, who looks more and more like Andrea Pirlo every day, whips the ball in from the right and finds Saido Berahino in the box.

    The petite former West Brom striker rises high but his header goes wide of the post. 

    It's Stoke's first real chance on goal.

    West Ham 0-0 Everton

    Cheikhou Kouyate has shrugged off his earlier injury and had a go at goal. 

    The West Ham wide man races forward and strikes with his right foot, but his effort goes wide of the post.

    Parents pay fortunes for their children to go and watch these games, and the best players are sitting in the stands. There is no chance that should be a sending-off. Games are being ruined by refereeing like that. 

    When you're down the bottom you need a bit of luck, and that red card for Oumar Niasse is very unlucky. The manager, Marco Silva, is absolutely raging on the sidelines.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:29 British Summer Time 22 April 2017

    West Ham 0-0 Everton

    Idrissa Gueye gets booked for a daft challenge on Jonathan Calleri, which he made after giving the ball away.

    The Hammers have their second corner of the game and we have our first shot of the game after 28 minutes! Havard Nordtveit lets fly from outside the area but Everton keeper Maarten Stekelenburg gathers. 

  20. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:29 British Summer Time 22 April 2017

    Bournemouth 2-0 Middlesbrough

    Middlesbrough have made a change following Gaston Ramirez's sending off.

    It's midfielder Adam Forshaw who gets the nod, with right-back Antonio Barragan making way.

    The visitors have really got to go for this.
