Leicester 3-1 West Ham
In his last job prior to joining West Ham, Julen Lopetegui spent the final 22 league matches of the 2022/23 season at Molineux with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Inheriting a side bottom of the league, he guided Wolves to 13th before his departure prior to the start of the 2023/24 campaign.

'Progress in all areas'
Bournemouth v Tottenham (Thu, 20:15 GMT)
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou on his side's progress: "We're progressing in all our aspects of our game. We've scored a lot of goals but defensively, we're much more consistent than we were last year. The fact that we have got quite a few significant absences is just something we have to work through.
"We had a very similar scenario last year and it's fair to say we sort of ground our way through it and we're doing that at the moment. We can improve in all aspects of our game, but at the same time, we're showing progress in areas we've felt like we needed to this year.
"We've obviously had a couple of games where we've been not great in executing our football, those two games in particular against Palace and Ipswich we felt we were below what we wanted to do. That's probably again an area we've tried to improve at but aside from that, it's progress in all areas."
'Bournemouth have a real consistency in performance'
Bournemouth v Tottenham (Thu, 20:15 GMT)
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou on facing Bournemouth: "A tough challenge, not just of late but from last year. They came here and were really aggressive with their football and especially at their place. They've beaten City and Arsenal at their place.
"They are one of those sides where they have a real consistency in performance and approach so you know that you're in for a battle. I'm really looking forward to it."
'We're ready to go for a big game'
Bournemouth v Tottenham (Thu, 20:15 GMT)
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou on his side's schedule going into this game: "It's a Thursday Sunday cycle for us pretty consistently.
"Monday is recovery day for the lads and yesterday training with the guys who didn't play the majority of the game.
"They've all recovered well, no issues from [Fulham] and we're ready to go for a big game tomorrow."
'Thrilled and proud' - Wales boss Wilkinson
Republic of Ireland 1-2 Wales (Agg 2-3)
Wales boss Rhian Wilkinson spoke to BBC 5 Live Breakfast after her side reached Euro 2025 with a win over the Republic of Ireland in Dublin.
"I'm feeling fantastic. A little croaky, a little bit worse for wear but absolutely thrilled and proud today.
"I donât think we'll fully understand the affect itâs going to have back home until years to come.
"The reality is womenâs sport is growing quickly in Wales and being able to put it front and centre and right on television and one of the biggest global sporting events for women is only going to continue to grow the numbers of female athletes in the country so I'm thrilled to be part of that legacy piece."

What is the Rainbow Laces campaign?
The Premier League collaborates with LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall on the Rainbow Laces campaign every season.
The initiative involves top-flight players being encouraged to wear rainbow-coloured laces and captain's armbands to demonstrate support for the rights of LGBTQ+ people, inspire acceptance among children and young people, and promote equality and diversity.
Rainbow Laces was first launched in 2013, typically lasts for a week and has been supported by all clubs and the vast majority of Premier League captains since.
Postecoglou to speak
Bournemouth v Tottenham (Thu, 20:15 GMT)
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is due to speak this morning ahead of Tottenham's trip to Bournemouth on Thursday night.
Spurs currently sit seventh in the Premier league table but do have the chance to put pressure on the top five, should they win at the Vitality Stadium.
Postecoglou is likely to be asked about team news. In particular, the availability of centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, as well as striker Dominic Solanke, who missed Sunday's 1-1 draw with Fulham.
We will bring you all of the top lines from that news conference shortly.
Guehi writes on rainbow armband despite FA reminder
Ipswich 0-1 Crystal Palace
Marc Guehi wrote a 'Jesus loves you' message on his rainbow captain's armband for Crystal Palace's match at Ipswich Town, despite being reminded by the Football Association that religious messaging on kit is banned.
The rainbow armbands are being worn as Premier League clubs show support for LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport by taking part in charity Stonewall's Rainbow Laces campaign.
The Football Association told Guehi and his club that religious messaging on kit is banned after the 24-year-old's rainbow armband in Palace's draw against Newcastle United on Saturday had the message 'I love Jesus' written on it.
Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy did not wear a rainbow armband again on Tuesday, after his club said he elected not to do so at the weekend because of his "religious beliefs."

'The win was well deserved' - Glasner
Ipswich 0-1 Crystal Palace
Oliver Glasner spoke to the media after Crystal Palace's victory at Ipswich: "I feel very happy. It was not the best performance but the result was more important.
"Most of the time we controlled the game and we scored an amazing goal - a fantastic finish from JP [Mateta].
"We had more chances to decide the game. We couldn't but I think the win was well deserved. We didn't give them any chances from open play and with a clean sheet you can always take the win.
"It's a big win. Now it's not time to sit back and relax but to keep going. In four days we face Manchester City. We stay humble. There are still many things to improve but we are on the right path."
