A comprehensive wrap of all the kick-off times, results and match reports for the midweek English Premier League fixtures:

SATURDAY, 6 MARCH 

Burnley 1-1 Arsenal - MATCH REPORT

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka compromised his side's faint hopes of a top four finish in the Premier League as the Swiss midfielder's embarrassing mistake gifted Burnley a 1-1 draw on Saturday. 

Sheffield United 0-2 Southampton

Southampton are now 10 points clear of the relegation zone after easing fears they could be dragged into a battle for survival.

Ralph Hasenhuttl's men topped the table in November, but a run of one point from a possible 27 had them looking over their shoulders.

Aston Villa 0-0 Wolves 

Aston Villa's unexpected challenge for the top four is also faltering after a 0-0 draw left them seven points adrift of Chelsea in ninth.

Villa again lacked the creativity of injured captain Jack Grealish as it was Wolves who twice came closest to a winner through their skipper Conor Coady.

Brighton 1-2 Leicester City – MATCH REPORT

Leicester looked lifeless for the first 45 minutes without James Maddison and Harvey Barnes, but they bounced back after the break for a first win in four games.

"First half we weren't good enough, we didn't press the game well enough and didn't pass it well," said Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers.

SUNDAY, 7 MARCH 

West Brom 0-0 Newcastle United 

Newcastle United battled to a dull 0-0 draw against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns to move up to 16th in the Premier League.

Liverpool 0-1 Fulham - MATCH REPORT

Mario Lemina condemned troubled Liverpool to a sixth successive home defeat as Fulham earned a shock 1-0 win that left the champions' top four bid in turmoil on Sunday.

In a sign of how far they have fallen, even third-bottom Fulham easily out-played Liverpool to secure three points at Anfield for the first time in nine years.

Man City 0-2 Man United MATCH REPORT

Manchester United shattered Manchester City's record winning streak with an impressive 2-0 victory against the Premier League leaders, while Liverpool hit a new low as relegation-threatened Fulham won at Anfield on Sunday.

Pep Guardiola's side were on an English top-flight record run of 21 successive wins in all competitions heading into the Manchester derby.

But United ruined City's 28-game unbeaten run in all competitions thanks to an early penalty from Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw's second-half strike at the Etihad Stadium.

Tottenham v Crystal Palace – 21:15

MONDAY, 8 MARCH 

Chelsea v Everton – 20:00

West Ham v Leeds United – 22:00

WEDNESDAY, 10 MARCH 

Man City v Southampton – 20:00
