In the early kickoff, Leicester City shared the spoils with Stoke City (2-2) at the Bet365 Stadium, with Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi featuring for the former champions.

The Nigeria midfielder put in a full shift and created a goal on the hour mark, the Foxes number eight was in action for 32 minutes and Ahmed Musa was not in the 18.

At the Liberty Stadium in Wales, Tammy Abraham could not celebrate his England call-up with a goal against Brighton & Hove.

The Chelsea loanee, who put in a full shift for the Swans, came close to netting his sixth of the season in the 52nd minute. A 29th minute strike from Glenn Murray secured a win for the away team.

In the late kickoff, for the eleventh time this season ex-Golden Eaglets trainee Ovie Ejaria has not been named in Liverpool's match day squad against West Ham United at the London Stadium.
