  1. CLOSE!published at 20:09 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2019

    Cardiff 0-0 Everton

    Theo Walcott beats Joe Bennett to the ball on the right and it pops up for him nicely. He hits it sweetly with his right foot but it's always rising and doesn't trouble the keeper.

  2. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:08 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2019

    Leicester 1-0 Brighton

    Youri Tielemans is showing just why he has been so highly rated through his fledgling career so far, another peach of a pass, half-volleyed down the left wing to set Harvey Barnes on his way. Brighton right-back Martin Montoya has a grab of the shirt but can't stop Barnes from getting the cross in, it's a corner and a belated booking for Montoya.

    Huddersfield 0-0 Wolves

    A long ball is pumped towards Steve Mounie and the Huddersfield man wins the header and nods it into the path of Karlan Grant in the box.

    It's just got too much on it though and the ball skips out of reach of Grant.

    Newcastle 0-0 Burnley

    No moments of danger at either end in the early stages in Newcastle - Martin Dubravka coming commandingly off his line to take a dangerous cross.

    Leicester 1-0 Brighton

    Have Brighton weathered the early storm? The pace has gone out of the game a bit as the visitors have their best spell of possession so far.

    Just what Brighton didn't need tonight.... the Leicester players with a new manager to impress. Chris Hughton needs to change his tactics before it's too late.

    Cardiff 0-0 Everton

    Everton swing a corner in from the right and it's not dealt with by Cardiff. The ball bobbles around dangerously in the centre before Theo Walcott's snap shot is blocked by teammate Phil Jagielka.

    Eventually, it's lifted in the air and Neil Etheridge can come and grab it.

  8. 'Burnley are a very stable club'published at 20:03 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2019

    Newcastle 0-0 Burnley

    Tony Pulis
    Middlesbrough manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Burnley looks a very stable club behind the scenes - the players are good professionals and they have a bit of quality in the right areas. I want them to do well, I love Dyche - he's an English manager doing well in the Premier League and we need more of those.

    Leicester 1-0 Brighton

    Brighton had offered nothing goin forwards but all of a sudden they go close - it's a familiar route too, Shane Duffy heading over from a corner and getting a right royal whack in the ribcage on his way through.

    He's playing on but doesn't look too well. Winded? A horrible feeling.

  10. CLOSE!published at 20:02 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2019

    Huddersfield 0-0 Wolves

    Raul Jimenez dances his way through the Huddersfield defence and gets all the way to the backline before his attempted cut-back is deflected into the side-netting.

    Lovely stuff from him!

    Will he go through with it though?

    Huddersfield 0-0 Wolves

    It's been a good start from Huddersfield. Maybe we were wrong to write them off! They've had most of the ball and look quite lively on the wings.

  14. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:00 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2019

    Leicester 1-0 Brighton

    It's the sort of performance so far which must have a departing manager tearing their hair out - Leicester have been absolutely delightful to watch so far! They cut through Brighton again with some deft one-touch stuff, Jamie Vardy and Harvey Barnes involved before Demarai Gray has a stinging shot pushed away by Mat Ryan.

    Really good stuff from the Foxes so far.

    Cardiff 0-0 Everton

    Seamus Coleman tries to find Theo Walcott on the edge of the box but his pass is slightly too far behind. Everton recover possession though and it comes to Idrissa Gueye at the top of the area. He shoots from distance but it's deflected out for a corner by Sean Morrison.

    Walcott then drags his shot wide from the resulting corner.

    Huddersfield 0-0 Wolves

    Willy Boly is in a bit of trouble here. He lands awkwardly as he challenges for the ball in the air and has gone down holding the back of his knee.

    He looks uncomfortable and the medical staff are on the pitch checking him over.

    GOAL - Leicester 1-0 Brightonpublished at 19:54 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2019

    Demarai Gray (10 mins)

    It's been coming, and it's a really good goal!

    Wilfred Ndidi makes a challenge on halfway to break up the play and Football Manager wunderkind legend Youri Tielemans has loads of space to drive on. He looks to have missed his chance to play in Demarai Gray but actually knows just what he is doing, playing a brilliantly disguised reverse through ball which totally undoes the Seagulls backline.

    Gray has all manner of time and space and beats Mat Ryan with ease. Brendan Rodgers looks on with glee.

  20. CLOSE!published at 19:52 Greenwich Mean Time 26 February 2019

    Huddersfield 0-0 Wolves

    A long throw catches out the Wolves defence and it falls for Jonathan Hogg in the centre. His shot takes a deflection on the way through before Rui Patricio sticks out a leg to make a good save.
