Manchester City v Everton: Premier League match preview

Follow all the latest goals and action from today’s Premier League matches as five games kick off at 3pm on a busy day for the English top flight.

Once matters are wrapped up at the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City take on Everton, we'll turn our attentions to the 3pm games where the standout fixture sees an in-form Tottenham buoyed by their Champions League progression in mid-week take on a Burnley side looking to continue their rise up the table, having moved out of the relegation zone last weekend.

Elsewhere, Crystal Palace will be without the suspended Wilfried Zaha as they face Leicester, while Watford will hope to record a much-needed win against Cardiff in order to get back into the top half of the league. An important match at the foot of the table sees Newcastle travel to Huddersfield, while the final 3pm kick-off sees Wolves and Bournemouth meet in a clash that features two sides chasing European football next season. The final game of the day sees basement side Fulham host West Ham in a London derby from 5.30pm. Follow the live action below.

GOAL! Watford 1-0 Cardiff (Deulofeu, 16) 

A bit of magic from the Spaniard who jinks one way, onto his left foot, feints to shoot, but has the composure to jink once again and bring it back on to his right foot. 

He then has enough about him to put it past Etheridge and give Watford the early goal that'll help them settle.

GOAL! Crystal Palace 1-0 Leicester City (Milivojevic) 

What a strike from the Serbian! 

Townsend plays the ball across the box to the Palace skipper. No one chooses to close him down and his crisp shot from 25 yards finds the far corner. 

Leicester need to respond.

He's a central midfielder. 

Don't know whether that's a good thing or whether it shows how poor their forwards are....

HALF TIME: 

Palace 1-0 Leicester 

Huddersfield 0-0 Newcastle 

Tottenham 0-0 Burnley 

Watford 1-0 Cardiff 

Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth 

Not many goals so far but Palace, Watford and Wolves take narrow leads into the break.

And we're back underway in the 3PMs. 

Are we going to get a glut of goals in this second half?

The weather is absolutely bucketing it down across the country. 

Perhaps this is why we're so low on goals at the moment. 

Or maybe I'm just trying to make an excuse.

GOAL! Watford 2-0 Cardiff (Holebas, 52) 

Another beauty from the Hornets as they look safe and secure. 

Deulofeu finds the full back who curls a beauty into the top right corner. 

They can play some really impressive stuff sometimes and they look to have done so again, today.

GOAL! Huddersfield 0-1 Newcastle (Rondon, 55)

What a fantastic team goal from the Magpies.

Perez spots Manquillo's run inside him, and the Spaniard, 25 yards out doesn't need a second invitation to curl a pass around the Huddersfield defenders to find Rondon's late run at the far post. 

Newcastle have had very low possession in their game but the two best chances in the half and now they've opened the scoring!
