Hello, hello and welcome to the show. We’ve got a whopping five 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League, with the main focus on what’s happening near the bottom of the table. Everton – who don’t seem to have won a game since the discovery of penicillin – face Burnley, who are still 19th despite going on an unbeaten run of four games.

After getting diced up by Phil Foden on Wednesday, Aston Villa face Brentford, who must still be a touch nervy about being 15th, while Luton really, really, really need three points against Bournemouth – a hard-earned point simply won’t do as we get closer to the end. Newcastle head to Fulham, while Wolves are at West Ham, but there’s more … don’t forget the Championship.

Nick Ames’ report from Carrow Road has arrived. And then the canary landed…something.
Norwich 1-0 Ipswich full time score. It’s a big result for the Canaries, who will believe they can claim a playoff spot. It would also be a boost for Leeds, Leicester and Southampton in the Championship race.

explained by thomas frank Why Ivan Toney is only fit to sit on the Brentford bench today…

Prepare for team news. It’s 3pm and they’re about to destroy the official team sheet in five minutes…
Whether you’re a fan of the term ‘Old Firm derby’ or not, there’s no denying that today’s clash between Norwich and Ipswich is a big deal.
Chilean midfield sensation Marcelino Nunez’s 39th-minute free-kick is now the dot between the two rivals at Carrow Road. A win for Norwich is sure to throw a spanner in the works, so to speak, of the Tractor Boys’ promotion.
Speaking of Phil Foden… Eyebrows were raised when he was left on the bench during Manchester City’s lunchtime game against Crystal Palace today. What was even more surprising was that the Eagles took an early 1-0 lead. But order has since been restored thanks to Kevin De Bruyne and Rico Luiz, and City look increasingly likely to continue to put pressure on Arsenal and Liverpool for the title.
