We'll have all the updates and stats throughout right here and, crucially, FREE highlights after full-time - let's begin!

Evanilson is a doubt for Bournemouth’s Premier League clash with Brentford at Vitality Stadium because of a dead leg.

The Brazilian striker was brought on for the second half of Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Sunderland but having struck the equaliser, he limped off with five minutes left.

“It’s still too early. Yesterday (Sunday) he didn’t train. He was still very sore,” head coach Andoni Iraola said.

“But we train this evening so I hope he comes with better feelings and he gives it a try at least. Let’s see.

“He’s not injured, it’s just a knock, a dead leg, but obviously we are talking about one or two days and it still is a little bit sore.”

Keith Andrews believes Brentford will learn from Saturday’s dramatic 4-3 win at Burnley ahead of a quick turnaround to visit Bournemouth in midweek.

The Bees face a second successive away fixture in the Premier League, but travel to the south coast after a thrilling seven-goal victory at Turf Moor.

Andrews told a press conference: “Ultimately where I’m at with it now is we found a way to win the game, but we must learn from it. I think we will.

“First half expectational, full control of the game and it’s not unfair to say we could have been five goals up, so then for the game to materialise in the way it did?

“In the second half the momentum was going against us, so it’s finding ways of stopping that.

“It is learning how to deal with that, tweaking how we can absorb and stay calm when the chaos comes. Yeah, it was an invaluable learning experience for us all and the best thing about it is we won the game.”

The Premier League's biggest clubs have recently published their financial results for the 2024-25 season.

While football is decided on the pitch, these off-the-pitch results tend to give clues as to which direction clubs are going in - and what transfer activity could look like in the years to come.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool all published their details by the end of February - while West Ham also joined them, revealing some surprising results.

Man Utd need the Champions League ASAP

Man Utd profit/loss 2024-25 season: £33m loss

Man Utd's overall revenue: £666.5m (increase of £4.5m)

Manchester United's latest accounts show how important it is for the club to get back into Europe. If you want to make Manchester United great again, they need to be playing in the Champions League again as soon as possible.

The new expanded format of the competition means English clubs have each made between £73m and £86m from just playing in the league phase this season.

United are improving on and off the pitch, although it is too early to start celebrating about the latest figures they posted in New York.

Not being in Europe would be a financial disaster for most clubs, but United's finances are just about holding up - despite overall debt rising to £1.29bn with no new stadium for that vast borrowing. The long-term Glazer debt is still £488m ($650m), the short-term borrowing is up to £295.7m and more than £500m is owed on transfers.

As expected, being out of Europe means United revenues for the six months to the end of last December fell from £341.8m to £330.7m.

Matchday income was down £2.8m to £75.7m because United played five fewer games at Old Trafford than in the final six months of the previous year. Increased ticket prices mean they are making more per game and United still make more money on matchdays than any other club in England.

The departure of several high-profile players means their wage bill for the final three months of last year fell by nine per cent to £75.1m. There is no mention of how much compensation Ruben Amorim was paid as he was sacked on January 5 - just after the period covered in these accounts.

Liverpool spend more than Man City

Liverpool's profit/loss 2024-25 season: £8m profit (after tax)

Liverpool's overall revenue: £703m (increase of £89m)

After two consecutive years of pre-tax losses Liverpool are back in profit to the tune of £15.2m. That's down to record revenue of over £700m.

In summary, during Liverpool's 20th league title winning season:

Media revenue increased by £60m to £264m

Matchday revenue rose to £116m from £102m

Commercial revenue went up to £323m - a rise of £15m

Overall revenue increased by £89m to £703m

Profit after tax went up by £8m

Media revenue had the biggest uplift largely due to Liverpool reaching the last-16 of the Champions League compared to the quarter-finals of the Europa League the previous year, as well as winning their Premier league title success. Liverpool were, in fact, the most-watched Premier League club last season.

This was also the first full season in which the new Anfield Road stand was fully open, hence the increase in matchday revenue. However, alongside record revenue growth, administrative costs increased significantly.

Squad performance bonuses for their title success plus contract renewals for Mo Salah and Virgil Van Dijk, an increase in staffing numbers and general matchday admin costs meant expenditure on staff rose by £42m to £428m.

These costs have more than doubled since the accounting period 2016/17 and are now higher than Manchester City's (£408m).

These figures do not take into consideration Liverpool's £450m summer spending on the likes of Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong - so expect those costs to go up in the next set of accounts.

Chelsea aren't earning as much as their rivals

Chelsea's profit/loss 2024-25 season: £355m loss (before tax)*

Chelsea's overall revenue: £511m*

* According to UEFA

Chelsea's record loss was for a season when they won the UEFA Conference League and qualified for the Champions League.

Two months after the end of the 2024/25 season they also earned up to £90m by winning the expanded Club World Cup in the United States.

In the old days. any losses would have been subsidised by former owner Roman Abramovich - but he was forced to sell the club and the regulatory landscape has totally changed from the early years of the Russian billionaire's ownership.

Chelsea's big problem - apart from the fact that they have not won a recognised major trophy under their new owners - is that their revenues lag behind those of their major rivals.

Chelsea's owners are facing challenges on multiple fronts. In the short term, their priority has to be qualifying for the Champions League again.

Champions League participation is more important now than ever - even though Chelsea are convinced their finances are improving.

Arsenal in a healthy spot - but can they sell players better?

Arsenal's profit/loss 2024-25 season: £1.4m loss

Arsenal's overall revenue: £691m (increase of £75.2m)

Arsenal are certainly on the way up in terms of finances. They nearly broke even for the 2024/25 season, recording a loss of just £1.4m. Given their losses sat over £100m four years earlier, it's a positive sign.

The big boost for the Gunners was a club record revenue of £691m. As fashion and merchandise experts, Arsenal's commercial revenue continued to fire, with yearly revenue rising by 19 per cent to £264.4m.

Deloitte data says Arsenal's commercial revenue has increased by a world-football high of 104 per cent since 2021 - nearly twice as much as the average commercial growth of the rest of the so-called 'Big Six'.

Matchday revenue also increased to £154m, partly due to the men's team's Champions League run to the semi-finals which also impacted broadcast revenue - that rose to £272m last season.

Given Arsenal are in the Carabao Cup final, the latter stages of the FA Cup and have a nice route to the European semi-finals once again, that figure could well grow in the forthcoming campaign. The women's team playing more games at the Emirates Stadium than ever before will boost matchday revenue numbers too.

However, there is a downside to additional games - as Arsenal reported a "sharp" increase in costs on 'other operating charges'. That figure went up to £200.8m, an increase of £80m. "Increased staging costs, specific direct costs of delivering increased revenues, certain residual property matters and inflationary pressures," were responsible for that hike, say the club.

Last season also showed the power of Arsenal selling well. The £106m in player sales - including 'pure profit' home grown stars Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah - brought a net spend of just £18m, and an overall net transfer debt of £125m.

That last figure decreased massively from £229m in the previous season - so it can explain why Arsenal were able to spend so much in the summer just gone.

Arsenal's wage bill rose by 19 per cent - a shorter climb than last year - but a loss of £15.2m in written-off player values (funds where they were unable to recoup the value of certain players) shows the need to continue selling well. This season has seen them fail sell anyone for more than £5m in the transfer market.

But with Arsenal set to re-negotiate an Emirates Stadium catering deal this year, as well as the Emirates shirt sponsorship deal in 2028, there are plenty of other avenues for increased income in the coming years. They are in a healthy spot.

West Ham need to sell players - will that include Bowen?

West Ham's profit/loss 2024/25 season: £104.2m loss (before tax)

West Ham's overall revenue: £228m (decrease of £42m)

West Ham recorded over £100m in losses for the financial year 2024/25.

Regardless of what happens after the season finishes, they say they'll have to sell players to generate income. But life will be much easier if Nuno Espirito Santo can keep them in the Premier League.

West Ham say they are "forecasting a liquidity shortfall in summer 2026". In Layman's terms, they are spending more than they are making.

The reasons for this they say include league position, no European football and lower profit on sales of players. That's before what they describe as the "severe but plausible scenario" of dropping into the Championship.

Thoughts immediately turn to the future of captain Jarrod Bowen. You would imagine the England international will move on if the Hammers are relegated. But those financial figures mean that even if the Hammers survive, will the 29-year-old have to be sold no matter what?

Bowen will still have four years left on his West Ham contract this summer so could still command a significant fee. Other players such as Crysencio Summerville could also be used to raise funds, so what will West Ham do?

What would relegation mean for Spurs?

Tottenham's financial results for 2024/25 season are due by end of March

Tottenham Hotspur being relegated would be one of the the biggest stories in Premier League history. Rival clubs are foaming at the mouth at the idea.

It's simply unthinkable for a club of Tottenham's size to slip into the Championship, but they're heading that way after countless defeats.

Many say Spurs have the best stadium in the world. It generates on average £4.5m per match. Some Spurs players reportedly face up to 50 per cent wage cuts if they're relegated - but just how many would stay at the club?

They'll have to rip up managerial targets. Does a new director of football come in? Season ticket pricing details have already been released. That'll also have to be ripped up.

There are a very small minority who think relegation would be a good thing, as the club need a reset - and some at board level might deserve it.

In his first press conference as Tottenham Hotspur manager, Igor Tudor said he was 100-per-cent confident that Spurs would avoid relegation. Ten days later, the mood has changed.

Back-to-back defeats in Tudor's first two games in charge against Fulham and Arsenal have forced a change of tune from the Croatian boss.

"We lack when we attack. We are lacking the quality to score the goal. We are lacking in the middle to run. We are lacking behind to stay there and suffer and not concede the goal. An amazing situation, " said Tudor after Spurs' latest lost to Fulham.

Barring defending, attacking and running - there's little else you can do on a football pitch. Tudor's assessment paints a poor picture.

Spurs' new head coach - once excited about the challenge before him - has seen the true reality of his team after two games. Here are the numbers which show it...

'We lack when we attack'

Tottenham are on a run of 10 Premier League games without a victory and there is a real lack of winning feeling at the club.

In fact, Spurs did not take the lead in any league match in February. The last time they led in the top flight was during a seven-minute spell at Burnley on January 24.

There is a lack of fluency in attack, partly due to Spurs' inability to be consistent the ball.

Across Spurs' 10 matches since the turn of the year, they rank bottom in the Premier League for both being dispossessed on the ball and overall losses of possession.

"Look at the patterns of play Fulham had," said former Spurs boss Tim Sherwood to Sky Sports. "They had people in the correct positions to open up the pitch.

"Players were wide, balancing off, strikers up front and players in support - it was the opposite of what Tottenham had."

Since the turn of the year, only 35 per cent of Tottenham's possession sequences reach the final third of the pitch - only the bottom two teams in Wolves and Burnley have a lower percentage.

Essentially, Spurs really struggle to get the ball close to goal, playing like a bottom-three team in the process. So no wonder they cannot get into the lead, let alone hold onto it.

'We lack to not concede the goal'

"You put the players [on the pitch], but then you lack defending, running and winning the duels. So what to do?"

In that sentence from his post-match complaints against Fulham, Tudor said his team lacked the ability to compete in the duels once they crossed the white line, leaving the coaching staff helpless.

"Football is a sport of running and duels," he added. "I have a sensation that Fulham players always arrived before. Even with the brain, they arrived before us. We are always late."

In the first half, which saw Fulham race into a 2-0 lead, Spurs won just 40 per cent of the duels in the match. They were overrun by Marco Silva's side - the story of their season.

Spurs rank bottom in the Premier League for aerial duels won - and since the turn of the year have lost more duels than any other team.

But there is also a self-inflicted nature to Tottenham's defensive play. They have made a league-high five errors leading to a goal in 2026. On top of that, no Premier League team has made more errors leading to a shot this calendar year.

That has seen Spurs concede the highest expected-goals figure in the Premier League this year, so the prospect of keeping clean sheets becomes much, much harder.

'We are lacking in the middle to run'

Before the weekend just gone, Spurs had been outrun by each of their last five Premier League opponents.

At Fulham, Spurs covered more ground than they have managed in any Premier League match this season - but that was still not enough for Tudor. "We are lacking in the middle to run," he said after the game.

"It's a load of nonsense about who runs more," said Sherwood to Sky. "It's about when you run, how you run and when you stand still."

This is perhaps not a criticism of the Spurs team - but of the situation they find themselves in. Tudor's comments about his team's lack of ability to run are not a surprise given the way he described Spurs' poor physical condition earlier in the week.

"Physically, I believe, we are not in an amazing situation," he said. "They have played lots of games in the last period without lots of players available and it made the physical condition of the team drop down.

"They are fatigued. To press high you need to be fit, but all of them, because if one person is not in the right shape there is a problem because someone is coming late. And the second thing, is that there is the other goal to protect.

"It is easy to run there but you need to run back, so if you run up and don't run back it's a problem."

It won't get any easier for Spurs physically, given the Champions League returns next week and the toll on the team's legs will rise.

Sky Sports' Peter Smith at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium:

"Wharton was rebuked by Glasner last week for his frequency of fouling. That one was accidental, though.

"Boos from Palace fans when Munoz puts it out for Tel to get treatment.

"Even louder boos when Tel tries to win the ball when it's thrown back in!

"Tudor frantically apologises to Glasner."

Spurs have been flat in the early stages.

Sky Sports' Lewis Jones:

"This could be a nice spot for Crystal Palace to play without the pressures and stresses that have dogged them in recent months. They arrive knowing an opportunity to turn this crowd could be a massive factor in the game.

"They know the anxiety in this place can turn from noise into nerves in a heartbeat. If they can quiet any early momentum from the home stands, the pressure will grow heavier with every misplaced pass."

For Tottenham: win and they can breathe again. Fail, and the questions around this club grow louder.

Strap yourselves in, folks. Tottenham have a massive fight on their hands.

Sky Sports' Lewis Jones:

"The mood inside this magnificent stadium is anything but comfortable.

"Tottenham walk out here tonight knowing the shine of this arena offers no protection from the brutal mathematics of the Premier League table. This might be the most important night this stadium has hosted, nope not a title race, not a Champions League anthem, but a scrap to avoid the trapdoor.

"There’s tension in every corner."

Sky Sports' Lewis Jones:

“The ‘Spurs will be fine’ brigade are becoming a rare breed now. This relegation threat is real and comes over a sample size of results that is now a very healthy one. In their last 19 Premier League games, Spurs have taken 12 points. That’s 12 fewer than West Ham. They haven’t won a football match in the Premier League in 2026 and their last home win came on December 6 against Brentford.

“They’ve forgotten how to win. The consequences could be catastrophic.”

Sky Sports' Lewis Jones:

"Oliver Glasner will be enjoying being out of the spotlight tonight.

"While Igor Tudor paces the technical area under the microscope, the Palace boss can observe calmly from the other side, quietly hoping his players make the evening a really uncomfortable one

Tottenham boss Igor Tudor has criticised the officials' "ridiculous" decision to allow Fulham's opener in their 2-1 loss at Craven Cottage as he accused Raul Jimenez of "cheating" for Harry Wilson's goal.

Jimenez had two hands in Radu Dragusin's back as the pair challenged for the ball in the build-up to Wilson's seventh-minute opener.

But after a VAR check, the goal stood with the officials deeming the contact "did not meet the threshold for a foul".

The decision came a week on from Spurs having a goal disallowed in their 4-1 defeat to Arsenal after Gunners defender Gabriel went down under a similar push in the back from Randal Kolo Muani, which would have levelled the game at 2-2.

The call in west London left Tudor fuming as his side slipped to a fourth consecutive Premier League defeat to deepen their relegation fears.

He said of Fulham's opener at his post-match press conference: "Of course it was a foul. I think 99 out of 100 people said it was a foul. It's so obvious.

"Sometimes the criteria don't have consistency. Last week we had the same thing against Arsenal. It was the same situation before. We conceded the goal. They didn't get the foul after they gave it - so, incredible."

He added: "Sometimes they don't understand it's enough, even a small contact, it gives you an advantage to score the goal. We need to cancel this.

"It's not about a normal duel, when he's soft or not. When he pushes with his hands and don't watch the ball, sometimes it's just easy to get an advantage.

"It's ridiculous not to give the foul because the consequence is too big. It's not a small foul in the middle of the pitch. It's a goal after. There is a logic in that.

"The referee's beautiful thing [is] to keep playing here. Let's play strong duels. It's fantastic. I like it. But there is a logic. If the goal is because he takes advantage, not thinking about football, he was not thinking about the ball. He (Jimenez) was thinking of how to cheat.

"So he cheated, the player was pushing, and they scored the goal. So it's a logic. It's cheating, and then there's the foul. It's not the thing of duels, and that here football is more tough, and we like the duels. There's nothing with that. So there was no logic in this decision. Logic is above everything. After come other things."

Tudor questions lack of running and fight in Fulham loss

Tudor has endured a torrid start to life at Spurs as he became just the second Tottenham manager to lose his first two games in charge.

The loss in west London leaves Spurs 16th in the table and just four points above the drop, but Tudor "did not want to speak about relegation".

Instead, the Croatian was focused on criticising his side's lack of running, quality and defending.

He said: "It's a complicated situation. A lot of problems. I cannot tell you nothing new. We need to find forces inside each of us. I said to the players. It's always what you are going to do. What do you want to do with yourself? More personality. More wish to do before reacting. Plenty of things.

"We lack when we attack. We are lacking the quality to score the goal. We are lacking in the middle to run. We are lacking behind to stay there and suffer and not concede the goal. An amazing situation."

He added: "The situation was complicated because we know how many players are coming back. One thing is that you have a complete team that you can choose. One situation is that you cannot choose because you need to choose the quality to score the goal. You need to have quality players to score the goal, otherwise you cannot defend all the time.

"But when you are in a bad moment, you put the players, but then you lack defending, running and winning the duels. So what to do? That's the big question in the future. To choose what is right for this team. To find a formula, what we want to be, what we can be in this moment.

"So that's very difficult to understand, because you get the quality, but also football is a sport of running and duels. I have a sensation that Fulham players always arrived before. Even with the brain, they arrived before us. They predict - we are always late."

Tottenham’s relegation fears deepened after a 2-1 defeat at Fulham equalled their longest Premier League winless run.

Spurs substitute Richarlison gave the visitors hope of a second-half comeback, but first-half goals from Harry Wilson and Alex Iwobi meant Tottenham are now without victory in 10 top-flight games.

Spurs, who are winless in 2026 and have lost four consecutive league games, remain 16th and just four points above the drop zone with 10 games left.

Spurs' loss in west London highlights the huge job new head coach Igor Tudor has on his hands as he became just the second Tottenham boss to lose his first two games in charge.

But Fulham are heading in the opposite direction under Marco Silva, with the Cottagers firmly in the hunt for a European spot after back-to-back wins put them ninth.

Fulham should have won more comfortably after Emile Smith Rowe missed two glorious second-half chances, but they survived a nervy ending set up by Richarlison's 66th-minute header.

Tudor went 4-4-2 in west London, but Fulham immediately preyed on Tottenham's vulnerability as Wilson struck a seventh-minute opener.

Spurs were unhappy with the goal as they felt Radu Dragusin was pushed in the back by Fulham striker Raul Jimenez in the build-up to the goal, but VAR deemed the contact "did not meet the threshold for a foul".

Tottenham's nightmare first half, in which they failed to have a shot on target, worsened when Iwobi hit a superb 34th-minute goal as he arrowed a ball from distance into the bottom far corner off the post.

Spurs substitutes Mathys Tel and Richarlison sparked a second-half improvement from Tudor's side as the former set Archie Gray up for his cross that led to Richarlison's goal.

But Tottenham's wretched form continues, having now won only two of their last 19 Premier League matches.

Tudor: We lacked defending, running and winning duels

Tottenham head coach Igor Tudor speaking at his post-match press conference:

"It's a complicated situation. A lot of problems. I cannot tell you nothing new. We need to find forces inside each of us. I said to the players. It's always what you are going to do. What do you want to do with yourself? More personality. More wish to do before reacting. Plenty of things.

"We lack when we attack. We are lacking the quality to score the goal. We are lacking in the middle to run. We are lacking behind to stay there and suffer and not concede the goal. An amazing situation."

On which players he can rely on: "The situation was complicated because we know how many players are coming back. One thing is that you have a complete team that you can choose. One situation is that you cannot choose because you need to choose the quality to score the goal.

"You need to have quality players to score the goal; otherwise, you cannot defend all the time. But when you are in a bad moment, you put the players, but then you lack defending, running and winning the duels. So, what to do? That's the big question in the future. To choose what is right for this team. To find a formula, what we want to be, what we can be in this moment.

"So that's very difficult to understand, because you get the quality, but also football is a sport of running and duels. I have a sensation that Fulham players always arrived before. Even with the brain, they arrived before us. They predict - we are always late."

Silva: We should have won by more

Fulham head coach Marco Silva speaking at his post-match press conference

"Of course, the result, I believe the three points we deserve it. In terms of the score, it should be different, with the amount of chances we created.

"In the first half, we were clinical, and we punished them. The number of moments we had in the second half to score, clear chances to score the third goal and kill the game completely - and we didn't, that is the reality.

"Any time at a level that you are playing with individual quality on the side, they can punish you, which is what Richarlison did in that moment.

"But great performance from us. I really believe the way we were able to control the game, create the chances, the dynamic we put in our offensive organisation was top. It was a good one, and I think we controlled very well the more physicality from them, the two strikers, the channel balls and the runs in behind, I think we did control very, very well.

"The only thing is about the score, that doesn't reflect our superiority on the pitch. But we are very pleased with the performance, with another three points and we move on."
