Results:
Later match: 1656 Full-time and an away win for Charlton, with the only draw of the 1500 kick-offs - a goalless, boring affair at Villa Park - ending at the same time. 1655 More wins for Ipswich and Bradford are confirmed. 1653 The first results come in, wins for Leeds, Arsenal and Middlesbrough so far.
1649 Benito Carbone is involved again asWard scores his and Bradford's second of the afternoon - and the Bantams relegation this week.
1645 Patrick Viera's ball and Thierry Henry goes around the keeper to score the Gunners' fourth. 1639 Another sending-off, the fourth on this Saturday, This one is at Highbury where Everton's Abel Xavier gets a second yellow card for a foul on Ashley Cole.
1626 Arsenal look to have sealed their match with Everton after Sylvain Wiltord crisply finishes following Patrick Vieira's run and pass. 1620 Derby's Seth Johnson is sent off for a two-footed challenge on Stuart McCall of Bradford.
1617 Ipswich take advantage of a Gary Breen giveaway clearance, with Jermaine Wright's drive giving Chris Kirkland no chance. 1616 Former Norwich player Craig Bellamy misses a glorious chance to equalise for Coventry at Ipswich, firing across the face of goal.
1614 Arsenal regain the lead at Highbury with Gilles Grimandi powerfully heading home from a Robert Pires corner.
1613 Boro go three up after Paul Ince fires home through a crowd at a corner.
1611 A world class goal from Alen Boksic eases Boro's relegation fears. After a mazey dribble the Croatian chipped keeper Simon Royce from 25 yards. 1606 Leeds must defend their lead with 10 men after David Batty was sent off for use of the elbow on Joe Cole. The young Hammer gets booked for retaliation.
1605 Leeds increase their lead at Upton Park with Rio Ferdinand scoring with a looping header at a free kick against his old club. Erik Bakke touched over to make sure. 1540 Southampton's James Beattie has a headed effort ruled offside - a harsh decision judging by TV replays.
1535 Chelsea keeper Carlo Cudicini spills Claus Jensen drive and Shaun Bartlett is there to score for the visitors at Stamford Bridge.
1525 An equaliser for Everton from former Gunner Kevin Campbell . He scores past David Seaman at the second attempt following a fine lobbed through ball from Thomas Gravesen.
1523 A through ball from Thierry Henry creates a chance for Freddie Ljungberg to finish with a left-footed shot.
1522 Ipswich are on course for their European place with Martijn Reuser the scorer after a ball in the from right wing was missed by team-mates.
1518 A shock lead against Derby with Ashley Ward offering what is likely to be too little, too late for the home side - but at least they might not get relegated on this Saturday. The goal came from close range after a ball through from Benito Carbone.
1514 Good news for Middlesbrough in their fight against relegation - Hamilton Ricard heads home Dean Gordon's cross from point-black range. 1513 Ipswich are close to taking the lead as Alun Armstrong clips a right wing cross just wide of the far post. 1510 West Ham's Frederic Kanoute is injured and replaced by subssitute Svetoslav Todorov.
1507 First goal of the afternoon for Leeds Shaka Hislop saves an Ian Harte header but Robbie Keane smashes home from six yards. 1500 A minute's silence is held across the country for Mike North, the 41-year-old referee who died during last Monday's match at Southend. Team news Robbie Keane is back for Leeds as Mark Viduka is dropped and Rio Ferdinand captains Leeds on his return to West Ham. Arsenal are without Ray Parlour, Dennis Bergkamp and Kanu for the visit of Everton. The away side are also missing key personnel - David Unsworth, Steve Watson and Duncan Ferguson. Coventry are unchanged as they travel to Ipswich, with Jay Bothroyd retaining his starting place alongside John Hartson. Richard Wright has been injured in the warm-up with Keith Branagan set to replace the keeper. At Leicester Simon Royce is in goal with Tim Flowers on the bench but Muzzy Izzet and Matt Elliot are both missing and Damien Delaney makes a debut. Aston Villa have the Gareths - Southgate and Barry - back in defence with Alpay suspended and Steve Staunton dropped. Darius Vassell starts after his goal as a sub in midweek. Mark Draper starts for Saints, with another former Villa player, Stuart Gray, seeking his first goal as Southampton's caretaker manager. The scenario With one result already in, Manchester City have given themselves hope of Premiership survival. But a win for Middlesbrough at out-of-form Leicester will leave the Maine Road faithful in despair at their plight once more. A Boro win will also relegate Bradford, unless the bottom club win their match with Derby, who could make themselves safe with a win. Everton are in a similar position to the Rams, although their trip to Highbury is considerably more difficult than visiting Valley Parade. But perhaps the most important game is at Ipswich. Coventry are desperate for points at the bottom while the hosts aim to seal the third Champions League slot. Chasing Ipswich are Leeds, away at West Ham, and Chelsea, who host Charlton. Liverpool are in action on Sunday and Aston Villa will hope to close the gap to the top six as they make a late bid for a Uefa Cup place. They play Southampton, one of the clubs to have recently dropped away from the European picture.
