Leicester 2-2 West Ham, Bournemouth 1-2 Liverpool: Barclays Premier League - as it happened

That is all for this particular live blog, but stay with IBTimes UK for live coverage of Arsenal's London derby against Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium.

A chance for everyone to catch their breath after an extraordinary finish to the game in Leicester. That hugely controversial late penalty means Ranieri's side sit eight points clear at the top of the Premier League before Tottenham's trip to Stoke tomorrow night.

Full-time

Leicester 2-2 West Ham

Bournemouth 1-2 Liverpool

Ulloa makes no mistake from 12 yards with what will surely be the last kick of the game. Bournemouth reduce the arrears against Liverpool through King and almost grab an equaliser as Cook heads over from Pugh's cross.

No clean sheet for Ward, who earlier made a fantastic save to deny Grabban. Sturridge also hit the post late on.

Goal: Bournemouth 1-2 Liverpool (Joshua King)

Goal: Leicester 2-2 West Ham (Leonardo Ulloa)

Penalty to Leicester with just secondd remaining. Schlupp falls under the challenge of Carroll. Ulloa to take it...

Four minutes of added time for Leicester to find an equaliser. Huth rages at referee Moss after clearly being held by Ogbonna at a corner.

The home fans are furious with the referee.

An astonishing turn of events at the King Power as West Ham complete a crucial turnaround. Antonio weaves his way down the right flank and stands up a cross that is headed into the path of left-back Cresswell, who thunders an unstoppable volley into the back of the net.

A brilliant strike that will provoke wild celebrations in one half of north London.

Goal: Leicester 1-2 West Ham (Aaron Cresswell)

A title lifeline for Tottenham? West Ham win a corner and Reid attracts attention from referee Moss after being shoved by Huth. As the ball eventually comes in, the centre-back is grabbed by Morgan and the referee has no hesitation in pointing to the spot.

Carroll steps up to coolly slot home from 12 yards.

Goal: Leicester 1-1 West Ham (Andy Carroll)

Heart in mouth time for the Leicester fans as multiple crosses are launched into the box before a ball towards Valencia is confidently claimed by Schmeichel.

Changes aplenty on the south coast, where Klopp has introduced Origi and Lallana at the expense of Firmino and Ibe.

Howe sends on Wilson in place of Ritchie.

West Ham launch another attack and play is eventually brought back as Morgan is booked for taking down Carroll. Ranieri brings on Daniel Amartey for Mahrez and Payet's free-kick flies well over the bar.

Carroll wins another header from Payet's corner. The ball ends up with Ogbonna, who can neither get a shot away nor set-up the nearby Kouyate and Leicester clear their lines effectively.

Valencia for Moses is West Ham's final change with 20 minutes left to play.

At Bournemouth, Gradel has been replaced by Marc Pugh and Ward has been forced into a solid save to deny King after the Norwegian striker advanced beyond both Lucas and substitute Mamadou Sakho.

Toure has gone off.

Bilic makes an attacking change, replacing Noble with Lanzini. The Argentine looks to get to work quickly but blasts over, much to the frustration of Carroll.

West Ham are understandably eager to make their numerical advantage count. Huth has to be alert to clear a cross and Reid then gets ahead of Morgan to guide Payet's latest delivery against the post.

So close.

I'll leave you to make your own minds up on that one, but it looks a good decision at first glance. Vardy appeared to be the one instigating the contact, dragging his leg across and tumbling just too theatrically for referee Moss' liking.

Ranieri responds immediately by withdrawing Okazaki and throwing on Leonardo Ulloa.

Drama at the King Power as Leicester goalscorer Vardy, harshly booked earlier for a foul on Kouyate, is shown a second yellow card for simulation after tangling with Ogbonna inside the penalty area.

Red card: Jamie Vardy (Leicester)

Real chances in both games but neither are taken. For Liverpool, Allen plays in Sturridge and the England striker lobs Boruc before seeing the ball clip off the outside of the post and wide.

At Leicester, Drinkwater seizes on a rogue pass from Noble and finds Okazaki, who tries to tee up Vardy with a low ball across the six-yard box that is hit just a fraction too hard.

A delicious deep cross from Fuchs on the left wing picks out Huth, but the towering defender is leaning back on the stretch and can only guide it over the crossbar.

Ranieri makes his first change of the afternoon, replacing Albrighton with Schlupp.

West Ham's approach following that substitution is very clear as Moses stands up a ball towards Carroll that Morgan heads out of play. Antonio then produces one of his trademark long throws and Kouyate eventually shoots tamely at Schmeichel.

Almost an instant impact from Carroll, who loses Morgan and stoops to head Payet's corner well wide. That aerial battle with Leicester's physical centre-back pairing will be worth watching in this second half.

One change in each match as the second halves get off and running. Howe swaps Stanislas for Grabban and Bilic sends on last week's hat-trick hero and late Euro 2016 hopeful Andy Carroll in place of Obiang.

It looks like West Ham are going with a conventional 4-4-2 formation from here on in.

Half-time

Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool

Liverpool double their lead on the stroke of half-time. Ibe and Sturridge combine again, with the latter soaring above Tommy Elphick to head home a simple lofted free-kick. Those sweeping changes do not look to have stifled their momentum one bit.

Goal: Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool (Daniel Sturridge)

Half-time

Leicester 1-0 West Ham

Typically attentive and robust defending from Huth to ensure that Antonio fires a shot wide. One minute of added time signalled at the King Power, while we will play three more at Bournemouth.

Payet becomes the third West Ham player to enter the referee's notebook for a painful mis-timed challenge on Vardy.

Sturridge tries to double Liverpool's lead, but an ambitious shot from distance is sliced well wide.

Liverpool break the deadlock at Dean Court. Ibe is the architect, setting up Sturridge for an audacious backheel that Boruc palms straight into the path of Firmino to tap home from close range.

Goal: Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool (Roberto Firmino)

Drinkwater looks to pick out Vardy down the right flank before being scythed down late by the lunging Noble, who is deservedly booked for his efforts.

Payet fells Mahrez in a dangerous area and the Algerian playmaker delivers an enticing free-kick that Morgan can't quite head on target.

A break in play at Bournemouth in order for Ritchie to receive some treatment. He limps off rather gingerly but should be able to continue. Meanwhile, Klopp is deep in discussion with Randall and Ibe. 10 minutes remaining until half-time.

Reid is also in the book for clattering into Shinji Okazaki. Now that was worthy of a caution.

It's all getting a bit heated between Leicester and West Ham. Eager to assert his authority, referee Jonathan Moss produces a harsh yellow card for Vardy after a late challenge on Kouyate.

Cook almost goes from hero to villain with an attempted clearance that bounces back off Sturridge and has to be pushed wide by Boruc.

At the King Power, Emenike and Wes Morgan are becoming embroiled in a running battle that we are guessing will not end well for the West Ham striker.

Lovely skill from Ojo as he skips beyond two red and black shirts before seeing a shot blocked by Cook. The Cherries defender then stands up tall once more to repel the follow-up from Randall. Still goalless there.

They have not been at their best during the opening 20 minutes today, but Leicester take the lead regardless after a ruthless counter attack that begins with Schmeichel releasing the ball quickly for Mahrez.

He finds N'Golo Kante, and the French midfielder surges forward before teeing up Vardy to rifle beyond Adrian and into the bottom corner. Remarkable.

Goal: Leicester 1-0 West Ham (Jamie Vardy)

Christian Fuchs brings down Moses and Ranieri will be frustrated with the number of free-kicks conceded by his team so far. On this occasion, a Kouyate header loops up and is comfortably claimed by Schmeichel.

Moses gets to the byline for West Ham, but his disappointing cross is easily cut out by Huth.

An opening for Bournemouth as Matt Ritchie drifts in off the left flank and fires a low shot wide. Earlier, Firmino had a chance to make life difficult for Boruc but sent his effort into the stands.

Leicester come within a whisker of taking the lead as Robert Huth rises highest to power Marc Albrighton's free-kick inches wide of Adrian's left-hand post.

Riyad Mahrez then causes problems with a driving run through the middle, but he is held up by a well-timed sliding challenge from Mark Noble and Danny Drinkwater drills over.

Leicester have started this game with uncharacteristic sluggishness and they give away another free-kick to set-piece specialist Payet that is headed over the top by Michail Antonio.

At the other end, Vardy's appeals for a penalty are waved away despite the England striker appearing to be caught in an Angelo Ogbonna headlock.

Emenike tees up Payet, but his shot from a narrow angle is hammered harmlessly over the crossbar.

At Bournemouth, Sturridge tests Artur Boruc with an early effort before Simon Francis' cross is headed over by Steve Cook.

How has that stayed out? Unbelievable luck for Leicester after Moses is brought down around 30 yards from goal. Payet's free-kick is headed towards goal by Cheikhou Kouyate, but Kasper Schmeichel tips the ball away brilliantly before watching it crash against both posts after rolling menacingly along the goal-line.

A couple of uncompromising early challenges in both matches, with Danny Simpson going in hard on Dimitri Payet and Randall crunching Max Gradel. Bournemouth will not want to lose the latter, who has already missed much of the season with a serious knee injury.

Here we go then. Both games are now underway.

10 minutes remaining until kick-off in both 13.30 fixtures. We will also have live coverage of Arsenal vs Crystal Palace later this afternoon.

Stanislas does indeed return for Bournemouth as Lewis Grabban drops to the bench. Juan Iturbe, currently on loan from Roma, is out of the matchday squad altogether.

Klopp was expected to ring the changes after that energy-sapping win over his former employers and with the first leg of their semi-final against Villarreal to come at Estadio El Madrigal in 11 days time. He makes 10 in total, with Roberto Firmino the only man to start in both matches.

Goalkeeper Danny Ward deputises for Simon Mignolet between the posts and captain Lucas partners Kolo Toure in central defence. Connor Randall and Brad Smith are the full-backs. Kevin Stewart and Joe Allen will support Roberto Firmino in midfield, with Jordon Ibe and Sheyi Ojo operating down the flanks. Daniel Sturridge leads the line with Divock Origi rested.

Liverpool retain a strong bench in case things go pear-shaped.

Leicester, who boast three of the six players nominated for this year's PFA Players' Player of the Year award, are unchanged from the side that beat Sunderland 2-0 at the Stadium of Light last Sunday courtesy of a Jamie Vardy brace.

This is the 12th time in the last 14 matches that Ranieri has declined to make any alterations to his starting XI. There are two newcomers on the bench, however, with Ben Chilwell and Nathan Dyer making way for Marcin Wasilewski and Jeff Schlupp.

West Ham swap five, with Adrian restored in goal and Reid replacing James Tomkins. Pedro Obiang, Chelsea loanee Victor Moses and Emmanuel Emenike also come in for Manuel Lanzini, Enner Valencia and Andy Carroll.

Subs: Federici, Wiggins, O'Kane, MacDonald, Pugh, Grabban, Wilson

Liverpool: Ward, Randall, Toure, Lucas, Smith, Allen, Stewart, Ibe, Ojo, Firmino, Sturridge

On the south coast, Bournemouth could welcome back winger Junior Stanislas after nearly two months out with a hamstring complainy. Benik Afobe, Adam Smith, Tokelo Rantie and Harry Arter remain unavailable, as does long-term injury victim Tyrone Mings. Striker Callum Wilson is likely to start on the bench again after making his comeback from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in a 2-1 win over Aston Villa last weekend.

Jurgen Klopp will not be able to call upon Emre Can for the rest of the domestic season after the German international was ruled out for four to six weeks with ruptured ankle ligaments suffered in the latter stages against Dortmund. Captain Jordan Henderson is a doubt for Euro 2016 with knee damage, while Christian Benteke remains doubtful. Jordan Rossiter, Danny Ings and Joe Gomez are still out.

Ranieri will be boosted this afternoon by another clean bill of health that means he has a fully fit squad to choose from. Such consistency in selection has been a major factor in their quite incredible rise from relegation candidates to champions elect.

As for West Ham, striker Diafra Sakho, who is said to have fallen out with Bilic after being left out of the starting XI for last weekend's thrilling 3-3 draw against Arsenal, remains sidelined with a knee injury. Centre-back Winston Reid should be OK to return after missing that aforementioned defeat to United with muscle tightness, while the cup-tied Sam Byram is available again after injury. James Collins is also recovered from a hamstring problem.

Also on the agenda this afternoon is Liverpool, who will hope to capitalise on their euphoric Europa League quarter-final second-leg victory over Borussia Dortmund on Thursday night by continuing their eight-match unbeaten streak against Eddie Howe's Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

IBTimes UK will keep you fully up to speed with both matches, including previews, injuries and breaking team news as well as live updates throughout the 90 minutes. Kick-off in both games is at 13.30 BST, so stay tuned...

"We don't achieve anything yet. Football is very strange. If you weren't here in Leicester but somewhere else, maybe City or United, with seven points more, you would say 'it is finished'. At this moment you don't think this. Why? Because we are Leicester. We have to fight and we have to be focused and strong."

Those were the words spoken by Claudio Ranieri at a press conference this week as his fearless side, who have already secured a place in next season's Champions League, seek to move one step closer to clinching the Premier League title in what would be arguably the greatest shock in English football history.

Standing in the way of a sixth consecutive top-flight win and a 10-point gap over nearest challengers Tottenham Hotspur is a West Ham side that have taken great strides of their own during cult hero Slaven Bilic's first campaign in charge but are without a win in their last five matches and failed to reach the last four of the FA Cup in midweek following a disappointing 2-1 quarter-final replay defeat to Manchester United at Upton Park.
