Harry Kane: Following his four-goal blitz against Leicester in mid-week, the England international is two goals ahead of Everton’s Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Premier League’s Golden Boot. Another strike or two against the Tigers should be enough to seal the prize for the second straight year.

Remember when…

Gylfi Sigurdsson scored this impressive effort for Spurs in their League Cup tie with the Tigers in 2013. Following a 2-2 draw after extra time, the White Hart Lane side won 8-7 on penalties -

Harry Maguire: The Hull defender has been one of the Tigers’ stand-out players this season and is likely to be making his final appearance for the club. Spurs, Leicester and Newcastle have all been linked with a move for the 24-year-old centre-back.

GOAL! Liverpool 2 Middlesborough 0 - Phillipe Coutinho

Bad news for Arsenal fans. Coutinho puts Liverpool two up from a free kick and it looks like the Merseysiders will be finishing in fourth place.

GOAL! Leicester 1 Bournemouth 1 - Jamie Vardy

Ben Chilwell crosses for Slimani who knocks it down for Vardy to score an easy goal.

More bad news for Arsenal as Gabriel is stretchered off injured at the Emirates. The Gunners' defence looks like it will be a little stretched for next week's FA Cup final.

GOAL! Liverpool 3 Middlesborough 0 - Adam Lallana

Game over now. Liverpool have got past the nerves and are cruising to fourth place now. Lallana pops up with his first goal of 2017.
