Half-time

It’s half-time in the Premier League and beyond. Let’s take a look at some scores…

Burnley 0-2 West Ham: Burnley fans have started chanting “We want Parker out” at Turf Moor.

They are furious.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Sunderland (Martin Zubimendi, 42)

Just moments after recovering from that Brobbey tackle, Zubimendi responds with a goal to finally break the deadlock at the Emirates Stadium!

Updated

Arsenal 0-0 Sunderland: Brobbey escapes a red card for a studs-up challenge on Zubimendi.

GOAL! Wolves 0-3 Chelsea (Cole Palmer, 38)

And just like that, Palmer has his hat-trick!

The midfielder finishes off a great Chelsea move by firing his shot into the roof of the net from close range.

GOAL Wolves 0-2 Chelsea (Cole Palmer, 35)

Chelsea have another penalty, this time for a push from Mosquera on Pedro in the box.

Palmer steps up to take it again and sends Sa the wrong way.

Updated

Championship: The week goes from bad to worse for Leicester as Bobby Decordova-Reid sees red at the half-hour mark for a challenge on Ibrahim Osman.

Arsenal 0-0 Sunderland: Rice comes close for Arsenal with a curled shot which runs just past the post.

Out of all five Premier League games, this is the only one without any goals so far…

GOAL! Burnley 0-2 West Ham (Taty Castellanos, 26)

January signing Castellanos makes it two for West Ham at Turf Moor to cap off a great team move.

Surely the Hammers won’t let this lead slip…

Updated

Championship: Abdul Fatawu gets a much-needed equaliser for Leicester against Birmingham.

Meanwhile, Oli McBurnie breaks the deadlock for Hull against Bristol City.

GOAL! Bournemouth 0-1 Aston Villa (Morgan Rogers, 22)

Rogers fires Villa ahead with a brilliant strike into the top-right corner from a clever through ball from Sancho. A great bit of link-up play between the duo on the right side.

It comes just a few moments after Watkins had a goal disallowed for an offside.

Updated

GOAL! Fulham 1-0 Everton (Vitalii Mykolenko OG, 18)

An unfortunate deflection off Mykolenko from a Jiménez shot flies into the back of the net as Fulham take the lead at Craven Cottage.

Updated

GOAL! Wolves 0-1 Chelsea (Cole Palmer, 13)

Palmer converts the penalty to fire Chelsea into the lead against last-placed Wolves.

Updated

GOAL! Burnley 0-1 West Ham (Crysencio Summerville, 13)

Summerville nets the first Premier League goal of the afternoon with a composed chip over Dúbravka to put the Hammers ahead against Burnley.

That could be huge for their relegation battle!

We’ve got team news coming up in just a few minutes, but for now click below for our predicted lineups.

It certainly feels like Burnley are already down but a loss today will confirm it, even if Lancashire’s leading optimists will point to the mathematical possibilities between now and mid-May. They have not been good for many months, failing to win any of their past 15 Premier League games, and most recently getting brushed aside by Sunderland, thanks to an appalling performance that earned the ire of Scott Parker and Kyle Walker. The fans will be looking for a response and something to lift the gloom against West Ham, the team one place above them.

Things have improved under Nuno Espirito Santo but West Ham remain six points from safety. Losing against Burnley today would be an impressive new low, which is saying something considering the Hammers are the only team to have lost to rock-bottom Wolves. These are the games West Ham need to win if they are to chase down Nottingham Forest, Leeds and Crystal Palace but they have slipped up before.

Preamble

Hello, good afternoon and welcome to another Clockwatch! We’ve got five Premier League fixtures to look forward to, including the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea. The Gunners host Sunderland as they look to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table. Meanwhile, Chelsea face last-placed Wolves at Molineux as they look to bounce back from their midweek Carabao Cup semi-final loss to Arsenal.

Elsewhere, title chasers Aston Villa travel to Bournemouth, Fulham take on Everton and Burnley host West Ham.

We’ll also be bringing you results from across the EFL and Europe’s top leagues, so make sure you stick with us!
