A comprehensive wrap of all the kick-off times, results and match reports for this weekend's English Premier League (All SA times):

FRIDAY, 16 APRIL

Everton 2-2 Tottenham

England forward Harry Kane suffered a worrying ankle injury ahead of next week's League Cup final after scoring twice in Tottenham Hotspur's draw away to Everton. - MATCH REPORT

SATURDAY, 17 APRIL

Newcastle 3-2 West Ham

Newcastle moved closer to Premier League survival after Joe Willock's late goal capped a thrilling win against 10-man West Ham that dented the visitors' bid for a top four finish.

Steve Bruce's side had squandered a two-goal lead in the closing stages at St James' Park, but Willock came off the bench to snatch a priceless winner. - MATCH REPORT

Wolves 1-0 Sheffield United 

SUNDAY, 18 APRIL

Arsenal 1-1 Fulham

Eddie Nketiah delivered a hammer blow to Fulham's bid for Premier League survival as the Arsenal striker's last-gasp goal rescued a 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta's side were seconds away from a first ever home defeat against Fulham as they laboured to find a response to Josh Maja's second half penalty.

But Nketiah pushed Fulham closer to relegation deep into stoppage-time when he tapped in after the visitors failed to clear a corner.

It was a major setback for third bottom Fulham, who are six points behind fourth bottom Burnley and fifth bottom Brighton with just five games left.  

Man United 3-1 Burnley - MATCH REPORT

Manchester United moved within eight points of Premier League leaders Manchester City as Mason Greenwood's double inspired a 3-1 win over Burnley, while Eddie Nketiah's last-gasp goal gave Arsenal a 1-1 draw against struggling Fulham on Sunday.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are unlikely to catch City, but Greenwood's late winner puts a little pressure on their bitter rivals with six games left.

MONDAY, 19 APRIL

Leeds United 1-1 Liverpool - MATCH REPORT

Liverpool were held to a draw away to Leeds United in a match overshadowed by the furious response to the Merseysiders' planned involvement in a breakaway European Super League (ESL).

The Reds opened the scoring before the interval through Sadio Mane only for Diego Llorente to equalise with his first Leeds goal, a header from a corner, three minutes from time.

A draw left sixth-placed Liverpool two points adrift of fourth-placed West Ham in the table.

TUESDAY, 20 APRIL

Chelsea 0-0 Brighton - MATCH REPORT

Chelsea moved into the Premier League's top four after a 0-0 draw against Brighton, but the result was completely overshadowed by the club's role in derailing the controversial European Super League.
