1707: Premier League results
A couple of managers will be looking over their shoulder after these...
- Arsenal 2-2 Southampton
- Bournemouth 1-2 Wolves
- Brighton 0-2 Leicester
- Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool
- Everton 0-2 Norwich
- Watford 0-3 Burnley
1704: Winning Acca!
You love to see it. Send us those winning bet slips. Two weeks in a row! 12/1 and 18/1. We'll be back with another next week!
1655: GOAL! Arsenal 2-2 Southampton (Lacazette)
SIX minutes into added time - huge goal for the Gunners. Boos all-round at the Emirates at full-time. Big point for Southampton, nevertheless. It also denies us six away wins in the Premier League.
1653: SPORTING LIFE ACCA DRAMA!
At half-time it looked like no chance - Rotherham being 2-0 down. Fast-forward 45 minutes and Stoke's injury-time winner means it's landing again!
- Stoke 2-1 Wigan
- MK Dons 2-3 Rotherham
- Peterborough 1-0 Burton
- Leyton Orient 2-4 Forest Green
We had a 12/1 winner last week and 18/1 this time around. Please hold on! Did you back it?
1651: DOUBLE GOAL ALERT!
Everton 0-2 Norwich (Srbeny): The Canaries end a seven-game winless run and pile the pressure on Marco Silva.
Watford 0-3 Burnley (Tarkowski): Dream land for the Clarets
And in the Sky Bet Championship, Leeds and West Brom have scored late goals to close in on 2-1 wins.
1649: Seven heaven for Accrington!
1645: GOAL! Watford 0-2 Burnley (Barnes PEN)
The Hornets staying bottom, the Clarets up to sixth as Barnes' penalty just about squeezes past Ben Foster.
1643: GOAL! Palace 1-2 Liverpool (Firmino)
The set piece comes in, Van Dijk's initial effort is blocked, he mishits the next chance and it falls to Firmino who dispatches. Champions doing what champions do? They have done it on a number of occasions this term. Of course, this time with a little help from sloppy Palace defending.
1640: GOAL! Palace 1-1 Liverpool (Zaha)
He has not scored all season, but on his 14th appearance Wilfried Zaha scores against the league leaders!
Excellent play by Townsend and Benteke in the build-up to create space for the Ivorian, who fired past Alisson. Five plus added time to go in that one.
1638: GOAL! Brighton 0-2 Leicester (VARdy)
See what we did there? Leicester have a penalty and Vardy's effort is saved by Ryan initially, but the rebound is followed up by Maddison.
A VAR review adjudged him to have been encroaching and ordered a retake, with Vardy converting.
1637: Away days?
A colleague has just pointed out an interesting observation - all six of the top flight games have the away team winning. Surely that could not have happened often in the past?! Just think of the price on that six-fold.
1630: GOAL! Arsenal 1-2 Southampton (Ward-Prowse)
Tierney pulls Ings' shirt in the box and after a VAR review the spot-kick is given. James Ward-Prowse, making his 250th Saints appearance today, has his initial effort saved by Leno but the Englishman nets the follow-up.
Winless in five games in all competitions. What does Unai Emery do now? Around 20 minutes to hold on!
1628: Another Ryan save!
Maddison nearly doubles the Foxes' tally with a goal incredibly similar to their first. Vardy finds the England international but goalkeeper Ryan makes an excellent double save.
1627: Arsenal update
Unai Emery's side fortunate not to be behind again after more terrible defending. Sokratis dallied and Cedric nearly capitalised.
Possession is 61-39 in Arsenal's favour, but the Saints have had more efforts and it would certainly be a hard-earned point for them here.
1620: GOAL! Brighton 0-1 Leicester (Perez)
Shortly after going so close, Perez takes his next chance to put the Foxes ahead after great vision by Jamie Vardy. The latter has a great chance to make it two within minutes but goalkeeper Ryan makes a vital block.
1616: DOUBLE GOAL ALERT!
Watford 0-1 Burnley (Wood): Dwight McNeil's out-swinging cross finds James Tarkowski who squares it across goal and New Zealand forward Wood finishes instinctively.
Bournemouth 1-2 Wolves ( : 10-man Cherries pull one back at the Vitality as Steve Cook meets a corner at the near post. Double half-time change paying off. His sixth goal in seven.
None of the top four in the Championship are leading - West Brom and Leeds just conceded so they are both drawing 1-1.
1612: GOAL! Everton 0-1 Norwich (Cantwell)
A big goal at Goodison as Todd Cantwell coolly finishes a one-on-one past Jordan Pickford.
With Pellegrini losing, Emery and Silva dropping points at home, the sack race could get very interesting as it stands...
1609: Wolves denied!
Nuno's side have the ball in the back of the net for the third time this afternoon, this time Jota, but his effort is ruled out - probably unfortunately - after a one-two with Jimenez, who is judged to have been offside. That should not prove too costly, luckily.
1606: GOAL! Crystal Palace 0-1 Liverpool (Mane)
After just going so close to taking the lead, the Reds keep on top and Mane takes his chance well.
Mane has nine goals for the season in the league and the Merseysiders have never lost when he has scored for them.
1602: Second halves
Gradually getting back underway.
Can Palace hold on against Liverpool? Will Leicester take advantage and close the gap? What about struggling Watford? Stay with us to find out!
1551: HT betting preview
1549: HT - international lull?
- Arsenal 1-1 Southampton
- Bournemouth 0-2 Wolves
- Brighton 0-0 Leicester
- Crystal Palace 0-0 Liverpool
- Everton 0-0 Norwich
- Watford 0-0 Burnley
1542: GOAL DISALLOWED! Crystal Palace 0-0 Liverpool
Alexander-Arnold gives away a sloppy free-kick in the corner, it gets whipped in and takes a slight deflection off Wijnaldum before making its way to Tomkins at the far post who converts!
After a VAR review for a foul on Lovren by Ayew, it is ruled out. Whether the Croatian defender would have been able to jump to clear it is doubtful. Interesting decision and a huge blow for Palace after keeping the leaders out so far.
1432: Last call for tips
Kick-off is nearly here, but you still have time to get your weekend wagers in. Take your pick:
- Brighton v Leicester
Best bet:
Key stats
- Leicester have won six of their last seven Premier League games (L1), winning the last four by an aggregate score of 15-1 and keeping a clean sheet in their last three. The Foxes have won five Premier League games in a row twice before, in April 2016 and April 2017.

- This is the first time Leicester are playing a Premier League game when starting the day in the top two of the table since the final game of their 2015-16 title winning season (1-1 vs Chelsea). Brighton have lost seven of their eight Premier League games against sides in the top two, including the last six in a row since a 1-0 win over Man Utd in May 2018.
- Since the start of last season, Leicester’s James Maddison has scored more Premier League goals from outside the box than any other player in the competition (7), including three of his four strikes this term.
