Prediction
Burnley are in good form right now, and Liverpool are without their captain, but even Sean Dyche will struggle to come up with a way to stop Liverpool in full flow. Liverpool 2-0 Burnley.
67 min: Newcastle have the ball in the net, but it won't count. Saint-Maximin gets in behind, squares the ball and forces Dawson into what would have been an own goal. The Frenchman had strayed offside, though, and the flag was quickly up.
69 min: Norwich make four changes as they look to make the scoreline a little more respectable. Martin, Idah, Rupp and Cantwell are on for Pukki, Buendia, Stiepermann and Hernandez.
72 min: Changes at Vicarage Road, too, as Joelinton comes on for Matt Ritchie.
GOAL! Norwich 0-4 West Ham (Antonio) 74 min
Antonio has four! Noble plays another good ball over the top for Fredericks, who has all the time in the world to pick out Antonio waiting in the six-yard box. He casually sweeps the ball past Krul, and adds yet another goal to his tally. Poor defending again from Norwich, but an afternoon to remember for Antonio.
77 min: The tempo has died down a little at Vicarage Road. Watford might be content with a point, though all three would make things a lot more comfortable ahead of their final three games against West Ham, Manchester City and Arsenal.
77 min: Antonio will get a deserved rest and, no doubt, a standing ovation from every West Ham fan watching on TV. An incredible performance from him. Noble is off too, with Wilshere and Haller on. Norwich bring on McLean for Vrancic.
80 min: Watford have another penalty! Sarr turns Manquillo and the Newcastle full back pulls him back in the box. Craig Pawson points to the spot again. This could be a huge goal, if Deeney can convert again...
GOAL! Watford 2-1 Newcastle (Deeney) 82 min
Deeney does it again! It's almost exactly the same as the first penalty, slammed down the middle with real anger. Again, he lets out a primal scream when the ball hits the net. Watford are on the verge of a big, big win.
83 min: Another chance for Deeney. Newcastle have fallen apart. Hughes surges down the middle and has his captain free on the left. He picks him out, but Deeney's shot is blocked.
