Follow the latest updates live from Saturday’s 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League, with Manchester United and Crystal Palace both in action on a busy day in the top flight.
United are looking to get back to winning ways in an effort to move ahead of Arsenal and back into fourth place, and after confirming the appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as permanent manager on Thursday, they will hope to pick up three points at Old Trafford against Watford Fc.
Brighton and Hove Albion take on Southampton at the Amex Stadium in a battle of the south coast clubs, with Burnley hosting Wolverhampton Wanderers at Turf Moor. In what could prove a massive game at Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace take on Huddersfield Town, with the Terriers knowing that defeat combined with wins for Southampton and Burnley would confirm their relegation. Finally, Leicester City take on Bournemouth at the King Power Stadium, and the day’s late kick-off sees West Ham United face Everton. Follow the live action below.

Oh dear.
Karlan Grant may not want to see that one again.
The Huddersfield striker pounces on a Crystal Palace error and is one-on-one with the goalkeeper but miscues his attempted chip from a somewhat tight angle, wasting the chance.
Rash-and-grab – Manchester United took the lead against the run of play at Old Trafford, Marcus Rashford’s tenth goal of the season.
Crystal Palace 0-0 Huddersfield, 36 minutes
Ben Hamer earned a start for Huddersfield this afternoon after Jan Siewert’s side conceded four last time out, and the goalkeeper is pressed into action here.
Andros Townsend’s defected effort is a little bothersome, but Hamer deals with it well.
A decent little game of football at Selhurst Park.
Brighton 0-0 Southampton, 33 minutes
Nearly for Southampton.
Danny Ings has the opportunity to shoot but perhaps wastes the chance to have a shot first-time, taking a touch and allowing the Brighton defence to recover after James Ward-Prowse found his striker.
Manchester United 1-0 Watford, 33 minutes
Top save from Ben Foster!
Anthony Martial fails to beat the goalkeeper from close range.
Manchester United growing into this one after taking the lead.
Crystal Palace 0-0 Huddersfield, 25 minutes
Huddersfield are playing with real freedom at Selhurst Park. They scored three last time out and have their eyes on similar this afternoon.
And they should be ahead. Chris Löwe forces Vicente Guaita into an excellent save from close range, but the German should have scored.
Asmir Begovic watches on helplessly as Wes Morgan’s heel gives Leicester an early lead at the King Power Stadium.
Manchester United 0-0 Watford, 19 minutes
Leicester 1-0 Bournemouth, 15 minutes

Manchester United 0-0 Watford, 13 minutes
Manchester United are on the back foot and have David De Gea to thank for keeping the game goalless.
Troy Deeney nods Gerard Deulofeu’s well-directed cross down into the floor, De Gea doing brilliantly to get down and tip the ball away.
Brighton 0-0 Southampton, 8 minutes
Brighton have started to look over their shoulder as they get dragged into the relegation battle, with their game with south-coast rivals Southampton of real importance this afternoon.
