Premier League's top 3 all in action with Chelsea aim to stay top.

Chelsea will hold on to their place at the top of the Premier League for another weekend with a win in this lunchtime's London derby at West Ham.

Should they slip-up, Liverpool can overtake them at the summit by beating Wolves.

Champions Manchester City could do likewise in the late game as they travel to Watford.

There's a huge clash at the bottom of the table as winless Newcastle host fellow strugglers Burnley.

Southampton - who are five points clear of the relegation zone - take on Brighton.

Stephen O’Donnell last night confirmed his departure from the role of head coach at St. Pat’s.

He’s set to fill the managerial vacancy at Dundalk.

Earlier this week, Pat’s added Tim Clancy to their management team in anticipation of O’Donnell leaving.
