KICK-OFF: Here we go! There's plenty to play for this afternoon not least for the league leaders who can go 13 points clear at the top with Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City not in action until tomorrow.

5 mins: GOAL! WEST HAM 0 LEICESTER 1:

Premier League champions Leicester City haven't won an away game all season, but maybe this will be the day! Riyad Mahrez has the Foxes ahead at the London Stadium. The Algerian went searching for Shinji Okazaki with a curling cross from the right, but his delivery outfoxed everyone including his own striker and West Ham goalkeeper Darren Randolph to find the far corner of the net.

7 mins: GOAL! WEST HAM 0 LEICESTER 2:

Surely this will be the day! Robert Huth has doubled Leicester's lead and West Ham trail by two within the opening seven minutes at home. Riyad Mahrez was at the heart of it once again, finding Marc Albrighton, and the former Aston Villa's man cross found Huth unmarked to head past Darren Randolph. It's a long way back for the Hammers now.

9 mins: GOAL! EVERTON 1 HULL 0:

A huge moment for 20-year-old Dominic Calvert-Lewin! It's a first Everton goal for the latest product to graduate to The School of Science and he converted in good company. Ross Barkley started the move by unleashing Tom Davies, and the teenager kept his cool brilliantly to square between two Hull defenders for Calvert-Lewin to score.

[18 March 2017 15:13 · Sam Dymond]

13 mins: GOAL! STOKE 0 CHELSEA 1:

At the Britannia Stadium, Willian is celebrating but the focus will be on Stoke City goalkeeper Lee Grant. A free-kick on the left was swung towards the near post by Chelsea's Brazilian but it should have been comfortably dealt with by the home stopped. Instead, Grant was slow to react and, in the circumstances, could only push the ball into his own net. No Eden Hazard for Chelsea? No problem.

[18 March 2017 15:21 · Sam Dymond]

20 mins: GOAL! WEST HAM 1 LEICESTER 2:

West Ham are back in it! With Dimitri Payet departed, Manuel Lanzini has taken on free-kick duties at the London Stadium to great effect. The Argentine has just flicked one over the wall and into the top left corner that had Kasper Schmeichel rooted to his spot.

[18 March 2017 15:27 · Sam Dymond]

22 mins: Stoke 0 Chelsea 1: Since taking the lead, Chelsea have started to show their dominance and a wonderful flowing move moments ago nearly ended in a second goal. Pedro and Diego Costa combined brilliantly to find Willian before the Brazilian's back-heel landed in the path of Victor Moses. The wing-back took aim but Ryan Shawcross got over to block the ball behind.

[18 March 2017 15:30 · Sam Dymond]

25 mins: Stoke 0 Chelsea 1: There's a short stoppage in play as David Luiz receives treatment following a clash of heads with Jonathan Walters. The medics have given him the all clear, the defender high fives his opponent and we're good to go again.
