    Swansea City leapfrogged Hull City to climb out of the Premier League relegation zone with two games remaining after Fernando Llorente headed the winner against Everton.

    Llorente got the better of Phil Jagielka to nod Jordan Ayew's cross past goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg from close range - the Spaniard's 13th league goal of the season.

    Mason Holgate's last-ditch challenge prevented Alfie Mawson from making it 2-0 before Ayew hit the post from 16 yards.

    Leicester City guaranteed their Premier League survival with a deserved home victory over struggling Watford.

    The 2015-16 champions took the lead when Wilfred Ndidi blasted in from 10 yards out after the Hornets had failed to clear Danny Drinkwater's dinked cross following a short corner.

    The Foxes twice hit the woodwork before Riyad Mahrez doubled the lead as he pounced on a mistake from Adrian Mariappa to shoot low past Heurelho Gomes.

    Marc Albrighton added a third goal in injury time when he collected Jamie Vardy's pass and shot into the net.

    Burnley 2-2 West Brom

    Sam Vokes scored a late equaliser to edge Burnley closer to Premier League survival and deny West Brom their first win since 18 March.

    Vokes headed in four minutes from time, having earlier taken advantage of great work from Ashley Barnes to put the hosts ahead at Turf Moor.

    Salomon Rondon had levelled with a smart turn and finish, before Craig Dawson thought he had won it for the visitors with a diving header.

    But Vokes' header looped over Ben Foster to earn Burnley a point and keep the Clarets on course to successfully negotiating a top-flight season for the first time since 1974-75.

    Hull dropped into the relegation zone as they suffered a first home defeat under Marco Silva against relegated Sunderland.

    The hosts created several chances, only for Lazar Markovic and Abel Hernandez - most notably - to be denied by impressive away keeper Jordan Pickford.

    Sunderland took advantage to go ahead through Billy Jones' close-range diving header after John O'Shea's flick-on from a corner.

    And the Black Cats sealed their first win in 11 league matches when Jermain Defoe converted from close range.

    Bournemouth and Stoke both secured their Premier League status following a well-fought game at Vitality Stadium.

    The draw, coupled with Hull's 2-0 defeat at Sunderland, ensured both sides will remain in the top flight.

    Stoke took the lead when Lys Mousset inadvertently headed into his own net, before Junior Stanislas equalised when he swept home.

    Mame Biram Diouf poked in to make it 2-1 but Ryan Shawcross' own goal from close range earned a precious point for the hosts.

    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes the race to finish in the Premier League's top four will go to the last day of the season.

    City moved above Liverpool and into third place on goal difference thanks to Saturday's 5-0 win over Crystal Palace.

    Manchester United and Arsenal, who are fifth and sixth, meet on Sunday.

    "There are four amazing teams fighting for the last two Champions League places," the Catalan boss said.

    "It will be a big, big battle until the last game.

    Battling for a top-four finish is not what Pep Guardiola would have had in mind when he arrived at Manchester City last summer.

    But that is what his team must do and they strengthened their grip on one of the Champions League spots with a convincing win over Crystal Palace.

    David Silva, Vincent Kompany, Kevin de Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Otamendi bagged the goals as City moved above Liverpool and into third place on goal difference.

    "Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, even Everton... it's so important to play in the Champions League. It's in our hands," said the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager.

    That's because the Swansea players will cover the cost of 3,000 away tickets for the relegation battlers' crucial match at Sunderland next Saturday.

    Swans boss Paul Clement said after his team's crucial 1-0 win over Evertonon Saturday: "It is a shame we can't bring all the fans.

    "The players paying for the supporters' tickets came from Leon Britton and I thought it was a brilliant idea.

    "That's been done by the players and led by Leon and we hope they get up there safely."

    Premier League footballers. Overpaid and out of touch with the common man. That is the perception of some fans.

    But that would be stereotyping and that would be grossly unfair. As proved by Leon Britton and his Swansea team-mates...

    Arsenal v Manchester United (16:00 BST)

    Granit Xhaka suffered a kick to the calf last weekend and has only a "little chance" of playing, according to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

    Shkodran Mustafi and David Ospina are back in training after respective thigh and back problems.

    Manchester United are without Ashley Young, who was forced off with a muscle injury against Celta Vigo.

    Marouane Fellaini is banned and Luke Shaw, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Marcos Rojo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are all injured.

    United may rest key players like Marcus Rashford, who began Thursday's game in Spain despite carrying an injury and appeared to be in pain when he was substituted.

    Liverpool v Southampton (13:30 BST)

    Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho is confident he will be fit despite suffering a dead leg against Watford.

    Adam Lallana replaced the Brazilian in that game on his return from a month's lay-off and could be in line to start.

    Southampton's leading scorer Charlie Austin might be involved for the first time since dislocating his shoulder on 8 December.

    He is among several players expected to step up their comebacks by playing for the under-23 side on Friday night.

    Where shall we start then? Hmmm. How about a bit of early team news? Deal.

    It is too late to affect you fantasy football selection but it might help you decide on which player to stick your hard-earned pound on to bag the opening goal.

    Clue: it is probably best to steer clear of Phil Coutinho...
