- :Championship previewLeaders Leicester hold a whopping eight-point advantage in their bid for a Premier League return and aim to further extend that lead when they host play-off hopefuls Ipswich Town. Much of the Foxes' success this season has been down to their imperious home form, which has seen only East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest win at the King Power Stadium.Today fifth-placed Forest travel to Burnley, who are Leicester's nearest challengers, with the intention of also becoming the only Championship team to beat the Clarets at Turf Moor this season. At the other end, there are two potentially-decisive relegation scraps with Barnsley hosting Millwall and Yeovil welcoming Doncaster Rovers. Elsewhere, local pride is at stake as Huddersfield Town face Sheffield Wednesday in a Yorkshire derby.

- Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin on BBC Radio 5 liveChelsea 1-0 Everton"Huge pain for the Everton fans and for all that great defending throughout the game they've given away a free-kick in dangerous position, late in the game and been punished. What a big moment in their season."

- 14:32:Chelsea 0-0 EvertonSteven Naismith goes down with a twisted ankle, causing referee Lee Probert to stop the game. That angers John Terry who throws a tantrum in the manner of a small child who has been told that he can't go into Toys R Us. A full 360-degree spin and a double foot stamp from the Chelsea captain. Dummy well and truly out.Naismith is able to carry on as we reach the last few minutes.

- Text us on 81111Rob in Sheffield: What is Manuel Pellegrini's obsession with Martin Demichelis about? He's not really better than Joleon Lescott is he? And they've both got an error in them. Demichelis gets his spot because he's Pellegrini's man.
- 14:29:YELLOW CARD - Chelsea 0-0 EvertonSIX MINUTES on the clock. Gareth Barry goes into the book for another foul in midfield, that's his job, slowing down the play.
- Alan Shearer Q+AAlan Shearer answered some of your questions on the Match of the Day Facebook page earlier. A selection of his responses are below.Which of today's Premier League strikers would you most like to play with?"I would have liked to have played with Wayne Rooney. He can play as the main striker or just off the striker and he can be equally effective. He is a great player and it is great news he has signed a new contract for Manchester United."Can Manchester United finish in the top four?"I would be very surprised. I think they have given themselves too much to do."What do you make of Chelsea's title chances?"I think they are excellent. I tipped them before a ball was kicked and I haven't changed my mind since. I think their result at Manchester City suggested that they have a great chance to win the Premier League this year, despite their manager saying others are favourites, which nobody believes."What three teams do you think will go down this season?"I think Cardiff will go down. I think Fulham will struggle and I think Norwich will also get relegated."
