FULL-TIME
FROM EARLIER
That's all from us across our Premier League coverage. Thanks for joining in!
FULL TIME! ASTON VILLA 2-1 NOTTINGHAM FOREST
Aston Villa secure a huge home result against visiting Nottingham Forest to climb level on points with Manchester City and one ahead of Newcastle United, who both feature tomorrow.
Forest were unable to make good on Arsenal's earlier draw against Everton, and now sit five points off Mikel Arteta's Gunners.
GOAL FOREST!
Nuno's troops have looked far more inspired since the restart and have finally gotten themselves on the scoresheet through substitute Jota Silva!
It's hard to say that the scoreline is anything other than fair as the second half at Villa Park looms.
Forest managed to compile an xG of just 0.33 and have looked off the pace throughout.
Can Nuno inspire a comeback away from home?
Taking victories of all sorts as they come 📈
GOAL VILLA!
And it's the home side again! This time, Donyell Malen ghosts free at the back post to tap home from close range after getting on the end of Ian Maatsen's cross!
GOAL VILLA!
Morgan Rogers calmly slots home to put Unai Emery's men ahead in the opening 15 minutes, with the England international doing well to control Youri Tieleman's ball over the top before beating Matz Sels with a low effort.
It's all Villa at the start!
A touching tribute from Emi Martínez at Villa Park today 🕊️
FULL-TIME! CRYSTAL PALACE 2-1 BRIGHTON
The grudge match is finally over at Selhurst Park, and it ended up being a spicy affair. Eddie Nketiah and Marc Guehi were both sent off for Palace, and Paul van Hecke was sent off for Brighton.
But nine men beat the 10 men, and the home crowd go home happy, after almost 15 minutes of added time at the end.
FULL-TIME! IPSWICH 1-2 WOLVES
It was all going so well for Ipswich when Liam Delap put them 1-0 up in the first half, but a second half turnaround leaves Wolves 12 points clear of the Tractor Boys.
It looks very much like Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton will all be heading straight back to the Championship next season.
FULL-TIME! WEST HAM 2-2 BOURNEMOUTH
A topsy turvy game at the London Stadium ends all square, with Evanilson's brace for Bournemouth cancelling out goals for Niclas Füllkrug and Jarrod Bowen for the hosts.
RED CARD BRIGHTON!
Referee Anthony Taylor has been a busy boy at Selhurst Park, and he's just brandished his third red card of the day. This one goes to Brighton's Paul van Hecke for a professional foul.That's Palace down to nine men, Brighton down to 10, and Palace leading 2-1 as we enter the eighth minute of 12 minutes added on.
We're into stoppage time around the grounds now.
RED CARD CRYSTAL PALACE!
Palace are still leading 2-1, but now they're down to nine men. It's Marc Guehi who's been given his marching orders, and rightly so. It's a second yellow for a kick to Brajan Gruda's groin.
We've got TWELVE minutes of stoppage time at Selhurst, and Brighton have a two-man advantage. Can they find an equaliser?
GOAL WOLVES!
That's a massive blow for Ipswich, as Wolves are now in front. Jørgen Strand Larsen is the goalscorer.
GOAL WOLVES!
Pablo Sarabia equalises for Wolves at Portman Road! It's a scrappy one, but it could be massive in terms of the relegation battle. If there still is a relegation battle, that is.
GOAL BOURNEMOUTH!
There's been another twist at the London Stadium and Bournemouth are level. Evanilson is the scorer again.
RED CARD CRYSTAL PALACE!
There's a spanner in the works at Selhurst Park, because Eddie Nketiah has been sent off. The striker only came on as a sub in the second half, but picked up two bookings, with the second one well deserved for a silly challenge on Paul van Hecke.
That could make things interesting. Still 2-1 to Palace for now.
Unlike Füllkrug, Bowen is a player who isn't exactly known for his heading ability, but he's scored a lovely header there to put the Hammers into the lead.
And like last week against Manchester City, Bournemouth have squandered a lead again.
GOAL WEST HAM!
What a turnaround at the London Stadium! West Ham lead 2-1 now, and Jarrod Bowen has scored.
That was a proper power-header from the big German, connecting sweetly with James Ward-Prowse's corner and finding the back of the net. He and the Hammers needed that!
GOAL WEST HAM!
We've got an equaliser at the London Stadium, and it's Niclas Füllkrug who's scored.
GOAL CRYSTAL PALACE!
The Eagles are leading the Seagulls again, and it's another great goal, this time from Daniel Muñoz with a drilled finish into the far corner.
Wolves go agonisingly close to an equaliser, but it's still 1-0 Ipswich.
SECOND HALF BEGINS!
We're back in business at Selhurst Park, Portman Road and the London Stadium. Let's hope for a few more goals in the second halves.
HALF-TIME!
It's break time around the grounds, and here are the half-time scores.
Crystal Palace 1-1 Brighton
Ipswich 1-0 Wolves
West Ham 0-1 Bournemouth
Evanilson was in the right place at the right time to lash home a rebound for Bournemouth, after Alphonse Areola had saved Antoine Semenyo's initial effort.
GOAL BOURNEMOUTH!
The Cherries are ahead at West Ham, and Evanilson is the man on the scoresheet.
Photo of the day right there.
That goal was a lovely milestone for Danny Welbeck.
This is as close as anyone has come to scoring in the match between West Ham and Bournemouth.
GOAL BRIGHTON!
We've got an equaliser at Selhurst Park, and Danny Welbeck has got it, with an instinctive finish from close range.
It was poor defending on that goal from Wolves, as they didn't deal with a knock down in the box at all, and Delap was on hand to tap home for 1-0.
If Ipswich were to win this game, they would be six points behind Wolves with seven matches to go.
Could we have a relegation battle on our hands after all?
GOAL IPSWICH!
The Tractor Boys have taken the lead over Wolves, and Liam Delap has scored it.
Nice piece of symmetry.
There isn't much happening elsewhere in the Premier League at the moment.
Eberechi Eze just went close to make it 2-0 to Palace there, but his shot flashed just wide of the post. It's a lovely sunny day at Selhurst, and the home fans are enjoying themselves.
Here's Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on the controversial penalty which denied his side victory at Everton earlier.
GOAL CRYSTAL PALACE!
It took Jean-Philippe Mateta less than three minutes to open the scoring at Selhurst Park and it's a beautiful goal from the Frenchman, who finds the top corner left-footed with his first goal since his nasty head/ear injury in the FA Cup win over Millwall last month.
It's a Goal of the Month contender for sure.
KICK-OFF!
We're under way at Selhurst Park, Portman Road and the London Stadium.
So after that draw at Goodison, we've got three more matches about to kick-off in the Premier League.
Crystal Palace take on Brighton at Selhurst Park, 18th-placed Ipswich face 17th-placed Wolves in a relegation six-pointer, and it's West Ham v Bournemouth at the London Stadium.
Stay with us, as we still have four more matches coming our way from the Premier League this Saturday.
A bizarre end to this game as referee Darren England blew the full-time whistle, only for Everton's players to point to the in-stadium screen showing that there was still a few seconds left.
It is over now though, and 1-1 was how it finished at Goodison.
That result leaves Liverpool 11 points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand. If the title race wasn't already over, it surely is now.
FULL-TIME! EVERTON 1-1 ARSENAL
It sounds like there are going to be four minutes of added time at the end of this game.
Everton's local rivals Liverpool will be pleased if this finishes in a draw. It will leave the Reds - who travel to face Fulham tomorrow - 11 points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand.
And another sub also just went close for the Gunners, with Gabriel Martinelli firing a rasping effort just over. The visitors are pushing for a winner here.
Two Arsenal subs almost combined for a winner there, with Kieran Tierney picking out Martin Ødegaard in the box, but the Norwegian couldn't find the target.
We've got just under 10 minutes of normal time remaining, and this one could still go either way.
Jordan Pickford has just made an unbelievable save to deny Leandro Trossard. The Belgian was offside anyway so it wouldn't have counted, but England's goalkeeper didn't know that!
How about this for a stat.
Arsenal have made another sub, with Martin Ødegaard coming on to replace Jorginho.
Lewis-Skelly almost made amends for giving away the penalty with a brilliant run at the heart of Everton's defence, and was only stopped when he was fouled on the edge of the box by James Tarkowski.
The Gunners' resulting free-kick was from a promising position, but Jordan Pickford repelled Declan Rice's effort well.
Arsenal have just made a substitution, with Jurriën Timber on to replace Ben White.
Here's a photo of the penalty incident.
GOAL! EVERTON EQUALISE!
It's Iliman Ndiaye who dispatches coolly from the spot for Everton to make it 1-1. Game on at Goodison!
The moments are getting hairier for Arsenal, as Miles Lewis-Skelly has conceded a penalty for dragging down Jack Harrison. It is checked by VAR, and the referee's on-field decision stands. Penalty confirmed!
EVERTON PENALTY!
There's a hairy moment for Arsenal right at the start of the second half, when goalkeeper David Raya misjudges a ball over the top and is almost caught in no man's land, but his defence is able to clear.
SECOND HALF BEGINS!
We're back under way at Goodison, with Arsenal leading 1-0.
DOUBLE SUBSTITUTION!
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has thrown Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli on at half-time, with Raheem Sterling and Ethan Nwaneri withdrawn. That should make for a livelier second half.
HALF-TIME!
The two sides head in at the interval with Arsenal leading 1-0 courtesy of Leandro Trossard's goal.
We're into first half stoppage time and Trossard has almost made it 2-0 to Arsenal, but this time Jordan Pickford rushed off his line to prevent the Belgian finding the net again.
A nice stat for the Trossard fans out there.
"Trossard again olé olé" sing the Arsenal fans. That's the Belgian's 7th goal of the season.
GOAL! ARSENAL LEAD!
I think they call that the curse of the commentator. The Gunners are in front thanks to the first real shot on target of the match, and it's a great finish by Leandro Trossard, who finds the bottom corner with a low, left-footed daisy cutter.
There hasn't been a great deal to write home about yet.
Everton went very close to taking the lead there.
Arsenal have already had a pretty good chance after less than two minutes, but Tim Iroegbunam made a good block to deny Raheem Sterling. It all came from some sloppy play from Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
KICK-OFF!
We're off at Goodison! Can Everton get one more win over Arsenal on this ground? Can Arsenal keep some pressure on Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table? Let's find out.
Well Merino is out on the pitch with his team-mates, so that rumour was unfounded.
That would be far from ideal for Arsenal if true.
With Gabriel ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury, Jakub Kiwior partners William Saliba at central defence for Arsenal today.
How will the Gunners cope without the Brazilian defender? Stats Perform take a look...
The big Premier League news on Friday came from Manchester City, with Kevin De Bruyne set to leave the club at the end of the season after almost a decade. Here is what the league's top managers had to say about the Belgian maestro...
There's a real end-of-season feel at Goodison Park today, with fans preparing to say goodbye to the famous old ground.
The Toffees' last home game at the stadium will in fact come against Southampton on 18th May, so they have a little while left yet.

Gabriel Martinelli and Thomas Partey are also both only on the bench for Arsenal. Has manager Mikel Arteta got one eye on Tuesday's Champions League first leg with Real Madrid?
The Toffees, meanwhile, have made three changes to the side which lost at Anfied in midweek.
Iliman Ndiaye is fit to start after making his return from a knee injury at Anfield, while Nathan Patterson and Tim Iroegbunam, who have been long-term absentees for much of the season, also come in.
Here's the team news from Goodison. There's no Bukayo Saka in Arsenal's starting line-up, but Ben White does return to the XI. Martin Ødegaard is also only on the bench.
Welcome to our live coverage of Saturday's Premier League action. We've got a busy day ahead, kicked off by Everton facing Arsenal in the final meeting between to the two sides at Goodison Park. Stay with us for live updates throughout the day.
