Football news live: Premier League scores, updates, reaction and more

Liverpool won a high-scoring game against Tottenham as Jurgen Klopp’s Premier League farewell tour edges closer to its end.

Goals from Mohamed Salah, Andrew Robertson, Cody Gakpo and a stunner from Harvey Elliot gave the Reds a 4-0 lead that their performance had more than warranted.

Spurs improved greatly after a raft of substitutions, and scored through Richarlison and Son Heung-min, but in truth it was for the most part another underwhelming showing from Ange Postecoglou’s team.

Mark Carey, Ahmed Walid and Jack Pitt-Brooke discuss the key talking points…

Nuno Espirito Santo has questioned why the Premier League has allowed a situation to develop where Burnley could effectively be relegated without kicking a ball this week.

Nottingham Forest expect to discover whether their appeal over a four-point sanction for breaching profitability and sustainability regulations (PSR) after Monday, May 6.

If Nuno’s side are given back even a single point it would mean Burnley’s return to the Championship would be all but confirmed — barring an unlikely goal difference swing of 17 in their final two matches — by a decision made over a desk, rather than on the pitch.

Forest are hopeful that their own survival hopes will be bolstered by a positive verdict to their appeal hearing, which took place on Wednesday April 24.

But head coach Nuno has concerns that one of their relegation rivals could now have their fate confirmed in such a manner, after a delay in returning a verdict.

Harry Maguire is expected to miss the remainder of the Premier League season after being ruled out for around three weeks with a muscle injury sustained in training.

The England international, 31, has a chance of returning for the FA Cup final against Manchester City and is expected to fully recover in time for this summer’s European Championship, which begins in Germany on June 14.

He is set to miss Manchester United’s final four matches of the Premier League season against Crystal Palace, Arsenal, Newcastle United and Brighton. United conclude the season with the FA Cup final at Wembley on May 25, facing rivals City in a repeat of last season’s final.

Maguire's absence adds to United's defensive injury list, with Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Willy Kambwala, Jonny Evans and Tyrell Malacia all sidelined. Evans is in contention to return against Palace on Monday after a month out, having returned to training this week.

United's extensive injury list has forced defensive midfielder Casemiro to deputise at centre-back alongside Maguire in recent weeks.

David Moyes pointed to the loss of “best midfield player in the country” Declan Rice after another heavy away defeat for West Ham United, this time at Chelsea.

England international Rice left West Ham for Arsenal in a £105million transfer last summer and has gone on to play a key role in Mikel Arteta’s side’s title charge.

In the 25-year-old’s absence West Ham have often been vulnerable defensively, particularly on the road where they have lost nine of their 18 games, conceding 43 goals in the process.

That includes a 4-1 reverse at Aston Villa, a 5-0 defeat to Fulham and the 5-2 loss at Crystal Palace a fortnight ago.

Moyes' side lost 5-0 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday leaving their under-pressure manager to field more questions on how he can turn their form around.

Asked to explain the poor results away from home, Moyes said: "Declan Rice.

"When you’ve got the best midfield player in the country protecting, probably limiting 50 per cent of their attacks it makes you much a better defensive team.

"We’ve lacked protection in front of the back four, lacked good enough defending, not been good enough at those things in many games.”

Suddenly Chelsea are an attractive team to watch, particularly at home.

The thrashing of woeful West Ham United piled more misery on manager David Moyes and made it 24 home goals in seven league games since the start of February.

Cole Palmer began the scoring in the 15th minute, his 21st of the season and 30th goal involvement in the Premier League, before captain Conor Gallagher doubled the lead on the half hour and Noni Madueke made it 3-0 six minutes later.

Nicolas Jackson added a fourth by finishing a brilliant team move three minutes after the restart and put the seal on things with a fifth ten minutes from time. Mauricio Pochettino’s team have won four successive games at Stamford Bridge and are now eyeing a place in Europe.

Nicolas Jackson scored twice as Chelsea routed West Ham at Stamford Bridge.

Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher and Noni Madueke all also got on the scoresheet on a miserable afternoon at Stamford Bridge for David Moyes and his team.

Elsewhere, Aston Villa missed the chance to tighten their grip on Champions League qualification after defeat at Brighton.

• Brighton & Hove Albion 1-0 Aston Villa
• Chelsea 5-0 West Ham United

Ange Postecoglou has made just the one change with Rodrigo Bentancur coming into the side that lost to Chelsea on Thursday.

He replaces Richarlison for this afternoon's game at Anfield.

Dejan Kulusevski is likely to move wider from the more central role he occupied at Stamford Bridge.

Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Emerson, Bissouma, Sarr, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Son, Johnson

Subs: Skipp, Hojbjerg, Dragusin, Richarlison, Maddison, Gil, Lo Celso, Austin, Moore

Mohamed Salah returns for Liverpool against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Egypt international, who had a heated exchange with manager Jurgen Klopp last time out against West Ham, is the sole change from last weekend.

Ryan Gravenberch drops down to the bench where Conor Bradley is back amongst the substitutes.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson, Endo, Elliott, Mac Allister, Salah, Gakpo, Diaz

Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Konate, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Jones, Gravenberch, Bajcetic, Bradley

Chelsea are flying at home to West Ham with goals from Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher and Noni Madueke having them 3-0 up at the break.

In the other 2pm kick-off between Brighton and Aston Villa it is currently goalless.

• Brighton & Hove Albion 0-0 Aston Villa
• Chelsea 3-0 West Ham United

PSV Eindhoven have a sealed a first Dutch title since 2017-18 with victory over Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday.

Goals from Johan Bakayoko, Oliver Boscagli and Jordan Teze as well as an own goal secured a 4-2 win and the Eredivisie crown.

The title comes with two games of the season remaining.

Peter Bosz's side have lost just once in 32 games and have scored the most goals (107) while conceding the fewest (19).

It is a first league title in Bosz's career.

Feyenoord, under Liverpool-bound Arne Slot, will finish the season second with perennial challengers and record 36-time champions Ajax languishing currently fifth.

Captain Virgil van Dijk is a fitness doubt for Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Tottenham at Anfield this afternoon.

The Dutch defender hasn’t trained since picked up a minor muscle injury in last Saturday’s 2-2 draw at West Ham.

Young full-back Conor Bradley is back in contention after recovering from an ankle problem but attacker Diogo Jota remains sidelined.

“Diogo is not in team training yet. Conor is,” confirmed manager Jurgen Klopp.

“Virgil wasn’t training the whole week yet, but probably part of team training later today. So we have to see what we can do with him from there.”

Thiago Silva starts for Chelsea against West Ham United in what will be one of his final games for the club.

The Brazilian defender, who joined on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in 2020, announced this week he will leave the club when his contract expires in June.

He had faced an anxious wait over a groin injury picked up against Aston Villa and he missed the win over Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday.

But the 39-year-old returns in what will be one of his final home games for the club.

Chelsea’s remaining matches include trips Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion before they welcome Bournemouth to Stamford Bridge on the final day of the season.

Elsewhere, Raheem Sterling, Levi Colwill, Axel Disasi, Malo Gusto and Christopher Nkunku are all included on the bench.

Mauricio Pochettino says Chelsea’s performance in beating his former club Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge made him the happiest he has been all season.

Goals in each half from Trevoh Chalobah and Nicolas Jackson enabled Chelsea to do the Premier League double over their London rivals with a 2-0 home win and move up to eighth in the Premier League with four matches left to play.

After the match Pochettino praised the competitive spirit his players showed against Spurs, in marked contrast to manner in which he felt they “gave up” in a 5-0 defeat to Arsenal last month.

"I think for me, it is the best game,” Pochettino said. “Maybe I don't know if it's the best game but it is the most happy I've been after. In the way that we play, the way we compete, that is what we wanted from the beginning of the season, what we want to apply to the team.

"We were so competitive. In this way, we can grow, we can do better and we can improve in the areas.

Pochettino also singled out Noni Madueke for praise after the winger carried a constant threat from the right flank against Tottenham, the club where he spent the majority of his academy career.

"It is not easy to create a competitive group of players that can go to the pitch 100 per cent in their best form,” Chelsea’s head coach added. “In the last few weeks, we are trying to find this balance. People are starting to realise it is a process, the time that you need.

"Noni Madueke, for me, was unbelievable. If you analyse him from the start of the season; all the conversations and meetings, clips and videos, things like this.

"He was capable today of doing a fantastic job with the ball of course, he is an offensive player but without the ball he is doing a fantastic job helping Alfie (Gilchrist) defend. That is what we need for the future, to build this competitive spirit."

Chelsea face West Ham United this afternoon.
