Andre Gray's late strike sent Watford through to the FA Cup semi-finals with a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.

The game looked to be heading to extra time after Michy Batshuayi cancelled out Etienne Capoue's first-half opener.

But Gray struck in the 79th minute, converting Roberto Pereyra's cross from close range to earn a Wembley date for his side.

As it stands: Bournemouth, West Ham and Leicester are pretty secure in their league positions.

Huddersfield are also secure but only because they're bottom of the Premier League with no chance to get out of the relegation zone.

Newcastle have been in good form recently and a win today would move them nine points clear of the bottom three.

Burnley are still hovering over the drop zone but a victory over Leicester would see them move five points clear of Cardiff

The fans are wrapped up in raincoats and ponchos at Turf Moor as the rain is hammering down.

Just a typical day up North!

Burnley 0 - 0 Leicester

Chris Wood gets the ball down the left hind side but is ruled offside. Burnley are on the back of three poor results so they need something out of this game today.

Burnley 0 - 0 Leicester

Gudmundsson gets in behind the Leicester defence and Harry Maguire had to challenge him and clips his heel. 

Burnley get a free kick on the edge of the box and Maguire is sent off!
