    Another Chelsea chance. Wide by Joao Felix. Nothing is clicking for Chelsea.

    Ben Chilwell tries to get behind the Villa defence and hits the post from a tight angle. Chelsea have had seven attempts - four on target - but they cannot find the net.

    Mykhailo Mudryk desperately needs a goal. He should have done better with that chance and made Emi Martinez work harder.

    Chelsea 0-1 Aston Villa

    Some great challenges in this match. Kalidou Koulibaly stops a Villa attack with a perfectly time tackle before Chelsea react through Mykhailo Mudryk.

    The Ukrainian looks set to score his first goal in Chelsea colours but panics and in the end his attempt is easy for Emi Martinez.

    That was a big chance.

    Outstanding recovery and pace from James there. It's a fantastic challenge!

    Both teams have looked really dangerous on the attack, but both teams have also looked vulnerable at the back.

    It's a great game for the neutral!

  6. First-half penalty 'changed game'published at 17:59 British Summer Time 1 April 2023

    FT: Arsenal 4-1 Leeds

    Leeds United

    Leeds manager Javi Gracia, speaking to Sky Sports: "In my opinion it was more competitive [in the first half]. After conceding an early goal [after half-time], it was difficult for us to manage the second 45 minutes.

    "It’s not easy. My players tried, but the game changed [after the penalty] and it was difficult for us. I don’t have any problems with my players.

    "I know we’re going to compete in the best way in our next game. We don’t have time to complain. We have to prepare because in three days we play another game [at home to Nottingham Forest]."

    Villa are REALLY up for this.

    Chelsea has been aimlessly searching for a striker for years now. They've just seen one of the best do exactly what they lack. Watkins is an absolute sapphire of a player, but hopefully, he'll never be a blue.

    Potter out ... now!! Our line-up in central defence today is just beggars belief, almost like he wants to get sacked!!

    Now Enzo Fernandez goes close with a flicked header. Would it have counted? The flag was up.

    Then Ben Chilwell goes down around the edge of the Villa box but Andy Madley is not interested. Chilwell climbs to his feet and races towards the referee to protest.

    Chelsea respond almost immediately to falling behind and Emi Martinez is forced to shovel a shot behind for a corner.

    The Blues were unbeaten in four in all competitions coming into this. They need to respond but Villa are playing well.

    Well Watkins makes no mistake on this occasion!

    He made the run-in behind and the ball just sits nicely for him.

    Outstanding composure. He's a man in form.

    He's knocking on that England door!

    What a game this is, it's end-to-end stuff!

    Both teams look capable of scoring goals.

    That was a great effort from McGinn.

    He cannot stop scoring!

    What a game.

    Sumptuous move by Villa ends with John McGinn getting a shot away from the edge of the box which crashes against the bar.

    Outstanding defending from Aston Villa, that's an excellently timed tackle!

    But it was poor from Mings there, you can't give that ball away.

    Chelsea 0-0 Aston Villa

    Villa look really dangerous on the break. A confident move forward by Jacob Ramsey results in a hurried clearance by Kalidou Koulibaly.

    Then Chelsea break but the sweeping move ends in an immaculate challenge by Ezri Konsa on Kai Havertz inside the box.

  17. 'I'm so happy for Jesus'published at 17:43 British Summer Time 1 April 2023

    FT: Arsenal 4-1 Leeds

    Arsenal

    Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm very happy. We had quite a few things going on in the last few days, but the team responded very well to all of them.

    "It was a tricky game and a tricky opponent, but overall I think we deserved to win the game. They played with a lot of organisation and desire. We had a couple of moments when we lost the ball in dangerous areas.

    "Everybody has to contribute and today was a good example, with Granit scoring the [fourth] goal.

    "We’ve been really consistent throughout the season. The most important thing is tomorrow, and doing things better the next day than we have today.

    "We can’t control [what Manchester City do]. We need to focus on what we can control and play as well as we can to keep winning games."

    On Gabriel Jesus: "I’m so happy for him and everybody that contributed [to his return to fitness]. He brings that quality and unpredictability to the squad."

    Quickest VAR check ever? Ruben Loftus-Cheek goes down inside the box. A decision is made before Loftus-Cheek climbs to his feet. No penalty.

  19. 'The scoreline doesn't flatter us'published at 17:40 British Summer Time 1 April 2023

    FT: Crystal Palace 2-1 Leicester

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson, speaking to Match of the Day: "That was a fantastic way to win a game and I'm not just talking about the fact it was a last-minute goal. The way the team played throughout the 94 minutes was worthy of a lot of credit. The scoreline certainly doesn't flatter us."

    On the impact of the Leicester goal: "It came as a really cold shower to us because at that time we were thinking we could really build on the first half and come out and do the same. We were quieter at the start of the second half, Leicester managed to establish some possession and ask questions of us. When they scored you had the horrible sinking feeling."

    On Wilfried Zaha's injury: "I'm certainly concerned but I have no idea. Muscle strains can be long jobs. If we're very lucky it might not be as long as that. I just have to wait and trust the physios. If I know one thing it's that he is a quick healer, he doesn't like to be off the field of play. If anyone's going to get over it quickly it would be him, but we have to see firstly how bad it is."

    On if Zaha's injury impacted his side: "It is a good point. It's not one I've considered. There might definitely be an element of that. In the first half he looked like he was almost going to win the game off his own back. He was almost unplayable at moments. That does have a bit of a psychological influence on everybody. Amazingly enough, one of the substitutes who took his place produced the pass for the goal and one of the late substitutes scores it."

  20. 'Both Chelsea and Villa need to keep momentum'published at 17:38 British Summer Time 1 April 2023

    I think the key word for both teams is momentum.

    Chelsea are unbeaten in their last four, with Graham Potter looking like he is getting the side playing a bit better.

    Unai Emery has done a fantastic job up until this point with Aston Villa; 16 games, eight wins. The team are trending in the right direction, their away form is strong too, with 4 wins in their last 6 matches.

    The aim for both teams now is to finish the season as strong as possible.
