The home side have won only four of their last 16 home matches against fellow London clubs.


Southampton 0-0 West Bromwich Albion

The visiting Baggies are now without a goal from their last three meetings with Southampton.

Swansea City 1-0 Burnley

Hosts Everton are now unbeaten from their previous five fixtures against Arsenal.


Hull City 1-1 Stoke City
