Good afternoon and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's 3pm games in the Premier League. With team news breaking around the country, let's see who's made the cut today...
Kick-off around the grounds is just 15 minutes away.
Tottenham are the only 'Big Six' team in 3pm action today but they go into their game against Stoke in really poor domestic form. They're on a four-match win-less run in the Premier League - a sequence that stretches back to the 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace on 5 November.
1' - We are underway in all five of today's 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League!
