Vokes levels the scoring for Burnley, with a looping header following a free kick from Brady. A poor goalkeeping decision from Foster made this a routine finish for Vokes.

GOAL

HULL 0 - 2 SUNDERLAND

Defoe doubles Sunderland's tally with just minutes left on the clock at the KCOM Stadium. It appears to be offside, but the linesman misses it and the goal stands.

Team news: Swansea v Everton  

Joe Miles6 May 2017 17:08

Liverpool could lose its World Heritage status if damage to the city’s historic Victorian docks is caused by plans for Everton’s anticipated new £300m stadium, which Unesco has not yet been officially notified of.

Everton defender Seamus Coleman's recovery from a serious double fracture of his right leg has been boosted by a new five-year contract.

Hull's defeat earlier today means that Swansea can climb out of the dreaded relegation zone with a win here on home turf, but it will be far from a walk in the park.

Crystal Palace also lost 5-0 to Manchester City in today's 12:30 kick-off, which is another result that has gone in the favour of Paul Clement's men.

Everton enter this fixture with no wins in their last six away games, which will surely inject the Swansea side with confidence. However, the Swans have only won two of the 26 competitive meetings between these two clubs.

Kick off at 17:30.

The Everton forward could prove problematic for the Swans defence today. His record of 25 goals and six assists so far this campaign is enough to make any defenders knees tremble.

KICK OFF

The Swans kick off to get the action under way. Game on!

Barry sends an early cross into the box towards Lukaku, but his headed attempt is easily collected by Stekelenburg.
