Not much to report from the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth are knocking the ball around nicely and look the most likely to do anything. 

It's been more than 10 hours since Stoke last scored away from home in the Premier League, Peter Crouch bagging at Sunderland in January. That's developing into a real 'remember where you were' moment for Stoke fans.

I can't see Sunderland getting anything here this afternoon, the way they have performed of late. Plus, Hull's home form has been impressive, and of course the Tigers desperately need a result.

First shot in anger for Burnley as Ashley Barnes works the ball on to his left foot and gets a shot away - it deflects up and is an easy save for Ben Foster in the Albion net though. 

Decent start to this game as Sunderland come forward again. This time it is a better chance than Fabio Borini's early effort as Billy Jones whips in a cross and an unmarked George Honeyman rises but nods wide.

Lovely stuff from Riyad Mahrez, the first Algerian to make 100 Premier League appearances, as he bends in a testing cross to the back stick but it's just about cleared.

I suppose Sunderland players can play with a bit more freedom now the pressure of trying to stay up is off them.

It is the away side that has the first attack of the game, a rather ambitious effort from Fabio Borini that flies well wide.

A very early shot for Watford as they craft it neatly down the left, Daryl Janmaat cuts on to his right foot and hits a cross/shot which almost creeps in at the far post but pitches wide. 

We're under way around the grounds!

The Hull City and Sunderland players walk out onto the pitch through an archway of fire, as you do.

Kick off in the 3pm games is approaching.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace boss Sam Allardyce in the Etihad Stadium tunnel, on 5 live: "Our system did not cause us to concede today's first goal - our defender had to clear the ball and he didn't, and from it they scored. Individuals did not perform to their usual standards. We didn't really recover from that. 

"I did not expect to see what we saw in the second half, which was very disappointing because we'd fought back and were keeping Manchester City at bay. But Vincent Kompany was free in our box and scored their second, and after that we simply lost control and Manchester City scored more and more. 

"Hopefully that is a one-off and the lads have got it out of their system ahead of the biggest game of the season next week at home to Hull."

It's great when a manager comes in and takes the weight off, and puts it on his own shoulders. It frees the players a little bit, and it's so much easier to perform in that situation. That's just what Marco Silva has done at Hull.

David Moyes came in and immediately announced Sunderland were in a relegation battle right from the start. That put pressure on his players and forced them into a basement battle. To be honest, it was probably too soon in the season to be saying that if you're the manager. 

Two captains, two men in the stands.

Wes Morgan and Troy Deeney are not involved this afternoon and they are having a long old chat in the tunnel. Chewing the fat.

Both clubs are pretty much safe. This is pretty much a dead rubber. 

Burnley

• This is already Burnley’s best Premier League season in terms of points won (39) and wins (11) and looks likely to be the first top-flight season that they haven’t been relegated since 1974-75.

On paper, it isn't a classic Premier League 15:00 BST line-up. Your best bet for footballing drama this afternoon is to head on down to League Two.

About half of the league can still get in the play-offs. Madness.

Luton and Exeter are assured of being part of them, but another seven teams are in contention for the final positions in the final round of games - Carlisle, Blackpool, Stevenage, Cambridge, Colchester, Wycombe and Mansfield.

The bottom two teams will be relegated to the National League. Bottom club Leyton Orient were relegated on 22 April after losing 3-1 to Crewe. They will be joined by Hartlepool, unless they win and Newport fail to win - which would send the Welsh club down instead.

The games kick off at 17:30 BST.

Whatever happens to Hull, Marco Silva will be a man in demand. We understand he has a relegation clause in his contract so he can leave if they can go down.

The Leicester groudnsman has been at it again. He's mowed a magic eye into the pitch at the King Power, no idea what it's meant to be but it looks very pretty indeed.

It has been quite a turnaround for Leicester over the last two-and-a-half months as they've finally sorted themselves out.

Only Tottenham and Liverpool have collected more points than their total of 19 since Craig Shakespeare took over, though it remains to be seen whether he's still in charge next season.

Walter Mazzari's position at Watford is also unclear, even if he is making the right noises about wanting to stay.

Both teams sit on the much-talked about safety benchmark of 40 points and look set for a mid-table finish, but could still theoretically end up anywhere from eighth to 18th.

This result helps Manchester City's goal different hugely, as they're now three ahead of Liverpool.

It is so crucial, because it's not about only finishing in the top four but the top three would make a huge difference, because then you start in the Champions League proper and your squad is granted a proper, restful off-season.
