Four Premier League games kick-off at 3pm on a busy day in the top flight the relegation battle comes into full view, before Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham are all in action.

With Burnley and Leicester already safe from relegation, the two sides battle it out at Turf Moor in the pursuit of European football this season, while Crystal Palace host rivals Brighton and Hove Albion at Selhurst Park in what is almost certain to be a feisty affair.

Swansea look to continue their climb up the Premier League table as they host an Everton side whose season is largely fizzling out, while Huddersfield Town take on Watford at the John Smith’s Stadium.

The evening kick-off sees Liverpool look to take momentum from their victory over Manchester City in mid-week as they face Bournemouth at Anfield, while a rare Saturday late game will headline the day’s action as Tottenham host City at Wembley.

54' - Liverpool's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is booked for a late challenge on Jordon Ibe.

56' - Virgil van Dijk connects sweetly with a strike from distance but the ball is always rising and flies a good couple of feet over Asmir Begovic's crossbar.

58' - Lys Mousset replaces Jordon Ibe for Bournemouth.

62' - Trent Alexander-Arnold wins the ball back deep inside the Liverpool half and sparks a counter-attack, which ends abruptly when Mo Salah sends a tame shot from distance straight at Asmir Begovic.

The Egyptian hasn't been at his clinical best today, it's fair to say.

67' - Liverpool appeal for a penalty after Mo Salah goes down in the box following a push by Nathan Ake but the referee, like in the first half, waves play on. 

There was certainly contact there but the amount of contact perhaps wasn't enough to warrant the award of a spot-kick.

GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Bournemouth (Salah, 69)

Is there anything this lad can't do?

Trent Alexander-Arnold delivers an incredible cross into the box for Mo Salah, who, with his back towards goal, diverts a looping header over the diving Asmir Begovic and into the back of the net.

Superb.

70' - Chance!

Sadio Mane almost adds a third for Liverpool but his left-footed strike from distance skids just wide of the diving Asmir Begovic's goal.

74' - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain plays Roberto Firmino in on goal but, with only the goalkeeper to beat, the Brazilian dithers on the ball after sitting Asmir Begovic down and his shot at goal is eventually blocked.

That should've been a third goal for the Reds.
