Manchester City head to the London Stadium this afternoon knowing victory over West Ham United will put them on the precipice of the Premier League title.

Pep Guardiola’s side are three points clear of Liverpool with just two games remaining after Kevin De Bruyne scored four goals against Wolves on Wednesday. Their mission is simple: get four points from their final two league games and they will be crowned champions.

West Ham are still reeling from their heartbreaking defeat in the Europa League semi-finals but the Hammers did recover with a thumping win over Norwich last weekend - a first victory in five Premier League matches.

David Moyes’s side still have plenty to play as they look to get back into Europe next term, with just three points separating them from sixth-placed Manchester United, who travel to Crystal Palace on the final day of the season.

Follow all the action from a crucial clash at the London Stadium below after the conclusion of Tottenham vs Burnley:

Everton 2-1 Brentford

46 mins: We are back underway at Goodison Park. The crowd are raucous. Their players are going to have to lean on the supporters in this second half. A tough 45 minutes awaits for the Toffees.

Another 45’ to come but Everton know this is a huge position for them to be in - see out the win and they are safe.

Half time - Everton 2-1 Brentford

And there’s the whistle! Half time and it’s 2-1 to Everton, but there was another incident right before the break.

Anthony Gordon went in for a wild tackle and it should have been a foul - not given by the referee yet checked as a possible red card by the VAR.

Interesting takes from the officials.

Anyway, Lampard’s side ahead at the midway point and Thomas Frank very unhappy.

45+2’ - Everton 2-1 Brentford

GOAL!

Richarlison nets in stoppage time and the home side will be in front at the break! Straight down the middle, nice and high, very well-taken penalty by the Brazilian.

Everton back ahead!

45’ - Everton 1-1 Brentford

Penalty to Everton!

Sorensen makes an absolute mess of an attempted header, missing the ball and then putting an arm out to pull down Richarlison!

Spot kick immediately given!

42’ - Everton 1-1 Brentford

Mbeumo and Norgaard both see shooting chances crowded out by the home defence, who are looking increasingly desperate.

The Bees are dominating and shifting the ball quicker since the equaliser - Pickford fists out one strike which is more of a camera save than anything else. Raya at the other end did the same from Gomes a few minutes earlier.

Everton 1-1 Brentford

GOAL!

37’ - Back on level terms for Brentford before the break - Wissa whips an effort across the face of goal and Coleman’s flicked header sends it past Pickford and in!

Everton couldn’t quite get to the interval with their lead intact.
