Wolves v Liverpool, Leeds v Sunderland, and more: Premier League – live | Premier League
Key occasions
Bournemouth go shut, Marcus Tavernier curling a shot simply huge of the far publish. Probably the closest any workforce has come within the three top-flight video games.
More harm worries elsewhere: Rico Henry has been changed by Kristoffer Ajer for Brentford, whereas Burnley keeper Martin Dubravka wants consideration from the physio.
Sunderland get their first first rate opening, with Mayenda forcing a effective save from Darlow – however the flag goes up. Ellborg is OK to play on, in the intervening time.
Ellborg is down and getting therapy after a minor collision with Calvert-Lewin. Their reserve goalie is Simon Moore, who was born on the Isle of Wight and has performed for them on the Island Games.
We have a purpose! It is available in League Two, the place Tranmere lead backside membership Newport because of Sam Finley’s early strike.
The tempo of play at Everton v Burnley might greatest be described as pedestrian. At Bournemouth, Brentford want to Michael Kayode’s mighty lengthy throws to interrupt the impasse.
Stach’s tried cross is reduce out however he will get the prospect to whip right into a nook, which is headed clear by Hume.
Whenever Leeds get ahead, the gang cranks up the decibels – however the hosts are but to check Ellborg within the Sunderland purpose.
Bournemouth have pushed ahead with little function and are nearly caught on the break, Jimenez getting throughout to chop out a by way of ball.
Gudmundsson has a shot from the sting of the world, however skews it huge. Everton win a nook which descends right into a low-intensity scramble earlier than Dubravka grabs the ball.
“We should go back to the OG playoffs,” says Stefan Webb. “Third from bottom from the Premier League competes with those in 3rd, 4th and 5th from league below. “My first away game was at nine years old seeing Gillingham (and the legendary Tony Cascarino) relegate Sunderland to the third tier (surrounded by Newcastle fans at the away end).”
We’re initially specializing in Leeds v Sunderland, the place Gudmundsson has simply made a lung-busting run ahead, however ran out of room to get a cross in.
Will Unwin studies that it is royal blue v gentle blue at Everton, with Burnley of their away equipment. Brentford are in a fair paler shade of blue, with Sunderland in all-black in a two-tone affair at Elland Road.

Here we go, then, at Elland Road, the Hill Dickinson and the Vitality Stadium.

Arne Slot is chatting to the TNT Sports workforce at Molineux, the place his facet kick off at 8.15pm (GMT). He’s happy with their enchancment on set-pieces, however added that “we hardly score from open play 1772567770that’s something we need to improve.” Jeremie Frimpong is again within the workforce tonight, changing Joe Gomez at right-back.
“As an Everton fan, I’m usually writing in to highlight the positives that are sometimes overlooked,” says Matt Burtz. “This time around it’s to note that Everton are joint second on away points with 24, behind only Arsenal. Unfortunately that means they only have 16 points at home, which is 14th in that table. Their remaining home games are Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Sunderland, so a win tonight would be nice just so the home fans can see one.” It began positively sufficient no less than, Matt.
Régis Le Bris says Robin Roefs damage his hamstring whereas making a save at Bournemouth, and “hopefully won’t be out too long.” As for Granit Xhaka, “three days was a bit short to go again, so he’ll come on the pitch later.” Le Bris provides: “We have to show the blueprint for Sunderland – we were close against Bournemouth.”
After John’s point out of the playoffs, here is an attention-grabbing bit of stories: EFL golf equipment will reportedly vote on Thursday on whether or not to increase the Championship playoffs from 4 to 6 groups for subsequent season. That would imply the groups ending third to eighth would contest the playoffs, with the highest two mechanically promoted.
Thoughts? It looks as if making an attempt to repair one thing that is not damaged, to me no less than. The groups at the moment seventh and eighth within the second tier are Southampton and Derby, whereas all the perimeters from Norwich (in seventeenth) upwards are inside six factors of the Rams.
Some pre-game chat from David Moyes: “We’ve moved on from the weekend now, we want to get back-to-back wins… it’s been difficult for a lot of teams this year. We’d like to turn our performances here into wins, [but] “It doesn’t really matter where you win, home or away.” He sticks with the same Everton XI that won at Newcastle.
John Brewin
Here on the Vitality, the speak is of how Bournemouth haven’t crushed Brentford within the common season since August 2014. (The groups performed out a two-legged Championship play-off tie in 2021 the place Bournemouth gained the primary leg 1-0, however misplaced the second.) Why may that be? When it involves high-pressing aggression, maybe Brentford has that little bit extra muscle. The Bees are the one workforce within the Premier League that the Cherries have by no means crushed. Keith Andrews has a brand new contract till 2032, Andoni Iraola has a deal till this June.
A few modifications for Bournemouth from their stormy draw with Sunderland, whereas Brentford make three from that VAR-assisted minor basic at Burnley, certainly one of which is the return of latest father Caoimhin Kelleher. Brentford can climb over Chelsea into sixth ought to they win, whereas Bournemouth look to maneuver above Fulham and maybe Everton and into eighth.
It’s completed Ukraine 1-6 England within the Lionesses’ opening World Cup qualifier.
There’s one other late midweek kick-off for Everton followers to navigate tonight. Andy Hunter studies on teething issues at their new house…
Sunderland are with out keeper Robin Roefswho misses his first Premier League sport this season resulting from an harm. Melker Ellborg makes his debut in purpose, whereas Granit Xhaka is on the bench after beginning in opposition to Bournemouth. For Leeds, James Justin and Joe Rodon are each match to begin in protection after selecting up knocks in Saturday’s defeat to Manchester City.

Pre-game ideas from our man at Everton-Burnley …
If ever there was a sport that might get a workforce’s house type again on observe, a go to from Burnley can be excessive on the listing. The Clarets are heading again to the Championship, whereas Everton are hoping to get into Europe however haven’t gained on house soil within the Premier League since 6 December. They really want a victory right here to spice up their ambitions to be enjoying continental soccer subsequent season.
Dwight McNeil shone within the victory at Newcastle and retains his place within the beginning lineup right here in opposition to his former membership. David Moyes was joyful to promote him in January however the shambles at Crystal Palace meant he stayed on the Hill Dickinson Stadium. His endeavor and work price have by no means been in query however hardly ever has he put a run of objectives and assists collectively whereas in blue. It will likely be attention-grabbing to see if he can construct on what he confirmed at St James’ Park.

In the later sport, Liverpool head to Molineux, the place victory is a should and provides the prospect for Arne Slot’s facet to go third.

Speaking of which, if anybody would care to strive and predict the end result of Bournemouth (six wins, six attracts at house) v Brentford (six wins, six defeats away from house), then be my visitor. Team information to observe shortly.
