Goal! Newcastle 1-1 Bournemouth (Osula, 68)
A brilliant ball from Bruno, an even better finish from Osula, scorer of spectacular goals…Bournemouth think it’s offside. Did Jimenez play him onside. It’s tight….
Leeds 2-0 Wolves: Karl Darlow makes a fine save to preserve Leeds’ advantage, with Ladislav Krejci’s header asking for a fingertip save.
Newcastle 0-1 Bournemouth: The return of Bruno Guimarães lifts spirits at Newcastle, with Jacob Ramsey going off. Jacob Murphy is on for Anthony Elanga.
Another goal for Patrick Bamford has Sheffield United leading 2-0 at Watford.
Southampton have just equalised against Swansea, with Shea Charles getting it. That keeps Saints alive in the search for automatic promotion.
Cardiff have just got a second, and now lead 2-0 at Reading, with Omari Kellyman getting the goal. They are surely heading up.
Some footage on social media of Harry Winks, the Leicester midfielder, and an altercation with a fan – a verbal altercation – that speaks to a club in tailspin after defeat at Portsmouth.
Goals in the EFL, Patrick Bamford has made it 1-0 for Sheffield United at Watford, while at Hillsborough, Sheffield Wednesday are losing 1-0 to Charlton, Matt Godden scoring. The Owls’ horror run without a win continues. It could go to 38, a full season in the Premier League, which could not be further away. Mohamed Toure has just equalised for Norwich against Bristol City. Mansfield 2-2 Luton, Shayden Morris has scored for Jack Wilshere’s team.
Newcastle 0-1 Bournemouth: Lewis Hall has gone off for Newcastle at half-time, with Tino Livramento now facing the dangerous Rayan, as Kieran Trippier comes on.
Back underway in the second halves….
More Jeremy Boyce: “Another tricky afternoon for Eddie Howe in front of a disgruntled mass of Toon fans, who’d all been led to expect more than this. Being done over at home is never nice, especially not when it’s your former club. An experience we may see again later this afternoon courtesy of De Zerbi and his hot Spurs ? And they’re not alone in possibly regretting giving up a good job on the south coast in order to take up the reins at a “big club”.
“Ask Graham Potter. Taking the King’s shilling is easily done when you’re in the right mood and situation, but actually swallowing it is much more difficult. Bournemouth are a great example of a football club run on sensible principles for many years, with a long term plan and accompanying strategy. Whereas Noocassle UK PLC were sold down the Swanee to a bunch of money people by likeable Amanda Staveley. Say no more. Wor Jackie must be spinning in his grave.”

Leeds are in the driving seat, and Wolves might well be relegated by the end of this evening.
ShareHalf-time: Newcastle 0-1 Bournemouth
The Cherries lead through Marcus Tavernier’s goal and it could have been more.
Newcastle 0-1 Bournemouth: Petrovic, the Cherries keeper, saves a certain goal by scrambling the ball to safety.
Goal! Reading 0-1 Cardiff (Colwill, 40) Big goal for Cardiff. They are not mathematically up but it would be almost certain if that result held.
Newcastle 0-1 Bournemouth: The visitors are the more likely, with Evanilson going close, with Bournemouth’s attackers causing all sorts of trouble.

Leeds 2-0 Wolves: Tim Smith gets in touch to say: “A little harsh to say Justin’s goal “ went through” Bentley. He’d just made a great save and then was unsighted for a point blank overhead kick. Blame the defending all you want on that one. Oh and come on Leeds!”
Jeremy Boyce: “Daniel Farke must be feeling a huge amount of pressure lifting from his shoulders, and enjoying a sense of security/redemption as the goal go in. Lest we forget, he’s not always been able to keep a promoted side up in the Promis£d Land, and had some serious talking to do to persuade the current Leeds Powers That Be to give him the job for this season. He seems to be sorted as regards keeping them up, and has just steered them to an FA Cup semi (where they face schizophrenic Chelsea), and a famous away win at Old Trafford, the hated trans-Pennine rival. He’s a genuinely likeable and intelligent bloke and I’m as happy for him as I am for the good citizens of of Leeds Metropole. Maybe now they’ll get their tramway, and it will run out to Elland Road ? That would be a REAL plus. “

Championship: Wrexham lead Stoke 2-0, which keeps their dimming playoff hopes alive
League One: Stockport lead 2-1 at Exeter, thus delaying the Cardiff promotion.
League Two: Notts County are losing to Barnet, which may delay Bromley’s promotion. Scratch that, it’s 1-1 Jodi Jones converting from the spot. So Bromley are on course.

Leeds 2-0 Wolves: This could be a grim day for Wolves. Losing to Leeds and a win for Tottenham against Brighton could relegate them.
Via the BBC’s permutation guru Dale Johnson: “Wolves’ fate will be sealed if they lose to Leeds and Tottenham Hotspur beat Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday or West Ham United take at least a point in their Monday night game at Crystal Palace.
“Even if Wolves were to pick up a point in West Yorkshire, they could still go down if West Ham win and Nottingham Forest avoid defeat against second-bottom Burnley.”
Newcastle 0-0 Bournemouth: Rayan has missed a decent chance, laid on to him by a mix of Eli Junior Krupi and Evanilson.
Graham Randall gets in touch: “I don’t think I have seen a more spineless Leicester team in my life. Absolutely devoid of any ideas, tactics or anything that makes a team good. Commentators keep saying “ Leicester have a lot of quality” not sure where. Very depressing As it is. The Robert Johnson crossroads are a 10 hour drive away. Might take a trip there and see if I can find someone to make a deal with.”
Hellhounds on Leicester’s trail, certainly.
Goal! Hull lead Birmingham 1-0 through a goal from Joe Gelhardt. That may go a long way to maintaining their playoff spot.

Newcastle 0-0 Bournemouth: My colleague Louise Taylor points out: “Anthony Gordon is officially injured but, given Eddie Howe’s pledge to not pick “anyone not 100 per cent committed to Newcastle” in the face of transfer speculation a lot of people have decided that 2+2 =4 Gordon dropped. Perhaps also significantly Sandro Tonali is not merely playing but named as captain.”
Goal! Swansea 1-0 Southampton (Stamenic, 20) The Saints no longer marching on?

Away we go in the 3pm kick-offs
So much riding on these next two hours.
On Anthony Gordon, this Eddie Howe quote from Friday might well be pertinent: “I’m not going to play any player if I don’t feel they are 100% committed to the club and their future. That is generally across the board. I always do what I think is best for the team.”
Here’s Taha Hashim’s report from Brentford.
For Newcastle, the big news is Anthony Gordon missing out, with “a minor hip flexor issue” while Joelinton is suspended. Gordon has been linked with Bayern Munich this week. Jacob Ramsey, Anthony Elanga and Harvey Barnes each return, while Bruno Guimaraes returns to matchday squad for the first time since early February.
Andoni Iraola names the same Bournemouth team that triumphed at Arsenal last week.
Jeremy Boyce gets in touch: “Hand-on-heart Leeds-til-I-die (since childhood) fan here. Big afternoon up at crumbling Elland Road. A win today will surely see us safe, meaning that we can look forward to having the dosh for some much-needed ground improvements, also to sit back and enjoy watching Spurs getting done over at their lovely new cheese-shop home later by the loveable Seagulls. In the event of a Dan James kneed-in winner in stoppage time this afternoon, I predict a Kaiser Chiefs single will result.
“By the way, Spurs fans, we share your pain. A crap chairman/owner is the worst of all things. Ask Man U. Been there, done that, got the t shirt. Anyone remember Peter Ridsdale ? Preston fans, be careful what you wish for. The bottom line is, sometimes you’ve got to get down to get up.”
Leeds have named the same team that delivered that famous win at Old Trafford. Wolves have made just two changes from losing 4-0 at West Ham last Friday. Jose Sa is replaced by Dan Bentley in goal while Toti Gomes comes in to captain the side, Yerson Mosquera is suspended after a silly 10th yellow of the season last week.
