Until next time!


FULL TIME! BURNLEY 0-1 MAN CITY

City hang on to go top of the Premier League for the first time since August, overtaking Arsenal on goals scored.

They may rue not scoring more goals here when all is said and done though.

As for Burnley, their relegation and immediate return to the Championship is confirmed.


FULL TIME! BOURNEMOUTH 2-2 LEEDS

Longstaff's strike in the seventh minute of added time grabs Leeds a precious draws and moves them past the magical 40-point mark. They are surely safe now.

Bournemouth miss the chance to go into sixth but do leapfrog Chelsea and are just a point behind Brighton.


GOAL! LEEDS EQUALISE AGAIN LATE, LATE ON!

Sean Longstaff strikes to steal a point at the death!!!

He connects with a volley that flies into the net after Bournemouth can't cleat the ball.

What a finish!


A late, late corner for Burnley...


OFF THE POST!

Lukas Nmecha smacks the post with a late effort.

What a finish we're having here at the Vitality.


GOAL DISALLOWED!

Evanilson's goal is ruled out after he is judged to have been just offside when he ran onto Senesi's long through ball.


GOAL! BOURNEMOUTH SEAL THE WIN!

Evanilson makes it 3-1 and it's another three points for the red-hot Cherries.


WHAT A MISS!

O'Reilly misses from all of two yards out and the flag does not go up.

How big could that be?


Dúbravka holds Haaland's latest attempt on goal after Doku's original shot is blocked.

Heading into added time.


Marcos Senesi follows that up by hitting the bar with a bullet header.

Bournemouth set to go into sixth and extend their unbeaten league run to a remarkable 14 games.


GOAL! BOURNEMOUTH RETAKE THE LEAD!

Rayan comes off the bench to surely net the winner!

He is completely unmarked in the box and makes no mistake, finishing off Tyler Adams' cross.


City are probing but not finding much joy against a determined Clarets defence.

Burnley are about to go down but not without a fight.


Five minutes plus added time to go at Turf Moor and the Vitality.


City are looking for that second goal and Burnley are hanging on a bit here.

Haaland blasts a volley over after more fine work from Cherki.


10 minutes to go in our two games, and everything is still up for grabs.


While Arsenal would obviously prefer City not to win, this is the next best thing.

A narrow win that puts the sides level on goal difference and the Gunners have easier fixtures on paper.

Big end here.


Lyle Foster is on for Burnley.

His last two goals have come from the bench. Can he make it three with 15 minutes to go?


Here is Leeds' equaliser for UK and Irish users.


Gnonto's strike hit off Hill and it could go down as an own goal.

Again, Farke will not care one single bit.


GOAL! LEEDS LEVEL!

It's a scrappy one but Farke will not care one bit.

Wilfried Gnonto fizzes the ball across the goal and in amid a goalmouth melee and we are level.


Pep makes two changes with Nico González and Savinho on for Ait-Nouri and Semenyo.

Nico O'Reilly has slotted into left-back.


OFF THE POST!

Leeds should be level straight away!

A sloppy error from James Hill lets Noah Okafor in but he can only hit the post with a low shot.

This game has finally taken off.


The last teenager to score as many goals as Kroupi has in his debut Premier League season was Robbie Keane back in 1999/2000.

The Irish legend scored 12. Can Kroupi match or overtake him?


GOAL! BOURNEMOUTH LEAD!

And it's their top scorer who's got it, Junior Kroupi.

The 19-year-old gets his 11th of the season with a fine strike that takes a slight deflection off Joe Rodon.


Guardiola might start thinking about subs approaching the hour.

He has a plethora of attacking options, notably Phil Foden, Omar Marmoush, Savinho and Tijjani Reijnders.


OFF THE POST!

Haaland is inches away from getting his and City's second, hitting the post with a right-footed shot from inside the box.


David Brooks has a penalty claim waived away by VAR.

The Bournemouth man was adamant he'd been clipped by Gudmundsson in the box.


Semenyo has City's first chance of the second half but fires over after stretching to reach Cherki's pass.

One or both should have done better there.


AND WE'RE OFF AGAIN!

Big 45 minutes ahead.


We're almost back under way.

Can Burnley delay their inevitable relegation with a shock comeback or will City move to the top of the table?

Can we get a goal in Bournemouth-Leeds?


HALF TIME!

City lead at the break after Haaland's early goal but might rue not having scored a few more.

The result does put them top of the table as stands, ahead of Arsenal on goals scored.

Bournemouth and Leeds are level after a very tepid 45 minutes.


Great play in midfield from James Ward-Prowse, nipping into win the ball before winning a free-kick moments later.


Just one more minute plus added time for Burnley to hold out.

1-0 would be a great score all things considered.


Bernardo Silva now has the eighth-most appearances for City.

He has maximum seven games left so won't go higher but will anyone overtake him in the next few decades?

No one has played more for Pep Guardiola either. What a player.


David Brooks is showing the referee the impact of the studs-up challenge from Ao Tanaka.

There's been more hard tackles than shots in this one.


Dúbravka is down getting treatment after banging his knee off the post in the first of O'Reilly's efforts.

He's earned a breather in truth.


Another brilliant run from Rayan Cherki almost sees him set Haaland up for his second.

Can City double their lead before the break?


Darlow makes the first save of the night at the Vitality...of sorts!

Adrien Truffert's cross is cut out but comes back to him. He has a pop but it's little trouble for the Leeds keeper.


Flemming has another opening, firing high and wide under pressure from Abdukodir Khusanov.

Excellent recovery from the rapid City centre-back but it is a warning that it is still only 1-0.


O'Reilly has another effort, forcing a comfortable save from Dúbravka.

The Burnley keeper has had a strong game so far which says a lot.


Junior Kroupi goes into the book for a rash challenge on Ethan Ampadu.

As has been the case for months now, Leeds are proving a tough nut to crack.


OFF THE POST!

Nico O'Reilly almost gets another goal but his stooping header hits the outside of the post.

A combination of Burnley players may have prevented it too.


No lies detected. Very bad news for Arsenal that the big Norwegian is back in the Premier League goals.

He's scored as many in the last four days as he had in his previous nine games, and one more from open play.


If City get a second relatively soon here, it could get very ugly.

It's vital that Burnley hold them off for the time being.


It's a Bournemouth onslaught at the Vitality with Leeds doing well to be level heading towards the 20 minute mark.


Burnley are getting chances on the break though with Zian Flemming the latest to shoot wide.

He did very well to fashion it but could not test Donnarumma.


City are very much in the mood here tonight.

It could be all about goals in the run-in - City currently sit top having scored three more goals than Arsenal.


Bournemouth have been fully on top but have yet to truly test Karl Darlow.

A win will send them into sixth and on course for European qualification for the very first time.


We haven't even mentioned goings on at the Vitality.

Álex Jiménez was briefly forced off after a tough tackle from Gabriel Gudmundsson.


As things stand, City are top on goals scored and Burnley are relegated.

A big goal, needless to say.


GOAL FOR MAN CITY!

He can't save that one though!

Great play from City sets up Jérémy Doku, who slips in Erling Haaland.

The Norwegian slightly stumbles before beautifully dinking the ball over Dúbravka.


WHAT A SAVE!

Martin Dúbravka has just pulled off one of the saves of the season!

Lovely play from Silva and Antoine Semenyo sets the ball up for Rayan Cherki six yards out.

The Burnley keeper somehow tips his shot onto the bar.


CHANCE!

Burnley have barely had the ball but do have the first shot on target.

Jaidon Antony gets the ball on the break, cuts inside and tests Gianluigi Donnarumma with a curled effort.

He scored in the 5-1 loss at the Etihad earlier in the season and almost did again here.


Bernardo Silva has been in incredible form of late and he's off to a good start tonight.

He picks the ball up and just keeps running with the Burnley defence opening up for him.

His eventual shot is blocked but an early warning sign.


KICK OFF!

And we're off at Turf Moor and the Vitality.


The teams are in the huddles with Bernardo Silva and Kyle Walker warmly embracing.

Walker was in each of the six City sides to win the title under Guardiola. Can he help stop them getting a seventh with a result tonight?


Just under half an hour to go until kick off in our two games.

A big night ahead.


No surprise that Leeds are unchanged after wins against Manchester United and Wolves.

Dan James does make a welcome return to the bench though.


Just the one change to the Bournemouth side that won at Newcastle with David Brooks coming in for Rayan.


And the Clarets - can ex-City captain Kyle Walker lead them to a huge shock?


Here are the four teams, starting with City where Rayan Ait-Nouri comes in for the injured Rodri with Nico O'Reilly moving into midfield.


Our other game is the clash between two in-form sides both looking to earn a third league win in a row at the Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth have not lost in the league since January 3rd and will go into sixth with a win over Leeds.

Daniel Farke's men can all but seal survival with a victory of their own and build even more momentum ahead of Sunday's FA Cup final with crisis club Chelsea.


On the pitch tonight, there is huge points up for grabs with Manchester City having the chance to go top on either goal difference or goals scored with a win at Burnley.

Pep Guardiola's men have not been top since the opening weekend of the season but will leapfrog Arsenal if they do what is expected at Turf Moor.

The Clarets' fate will be sealed unless they can pull off a shock win, joining Wolves in relegation to the Championship.


It's already been a wild day in the league with the unsurprising news of Liam Rosenior's sacking by Chelsea.


Hello and welcome to our coverage of tonight's two Premier League games.
