Everton were forced to settle for a point as Newcastle dug in to claim a creditable 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.

Everton forward Richarlison cancelled out Salomon Rondon's early strike for the visitors but the hosts paid the price for spurning further gilt-edged chances before the break.

Gylfi Sigurdsson and Cenk Tosun both looked certain to score before being denied by Federico Fernandez and Martin Dubravka respectively.

Everton's pace dropped in the second period as Newcastle sat deep to protect a point and inch a little further away from the Premier League's bottom three. PA

Player to watch:

Yerry Mina. He momentarily broke England hearts at the World Cup this summer and he’s in a dominant mood again with his new club Everton. The defender won man of the match on his debut at Stamford Bridge, and has proved worth the wait after he missed the start of the season. The Colombian is assertive in the air and even loves a goal; he scored three in four games at the World Cup from centre back. Everton were awful at the back last season, but Mina alongside Michael Keane is a defensive partnership with strength and technical ability.

Prediction

Everton to win 2-0

Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal, 66 minutes

There's something in the air at Old Trafford tonight.

Shkodran Mustafi is the latest walking wounded. Arsenal out of substitutions, of course, so he'll have to soldier on.

Burnley 1-2 Liverpool, 83 minutes

A clever back heel from Naby Keita nearly extends Liverpool's lead, but Phil Bardsley is well-placed on the line to block.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 December 2018 21:26

GOAL! Manchester United 1-2 Arsenal (Alexandre Lacazette, 68 minutes)

An error from Marcos Rojo, giving the ball away in his own half, and Alexandre Lacazette exchanges passes with Henrikh Mkhitaryan before surging through on goal.

Rojo recovers to try to hook the ball away from the Frenchman, but only succeeds in cannoning the ball against his shin and past the onrushing David De Gea.

But hold on...

Harry Latham-Coyle5 December 2018 21:27

GOAL! Manchester United 2-2 Arsenal (Jesse Lingard, 69 minutes)

Straight from kick off, Manchester United are once again level!

A Sead Kolasinac error, Arsenal scrambling and unable to prevent Jesse Lingard slotting between Bernd Leno's legs.

Arsenal can't hold a lead.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 December 2018 21:28

Manchester United 2-2 Arsenal, 72 minutes

Two excellent chances for Arsenal as both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan fail to find a finish.

Marouane Fellaini replaces Marcos Rojo. This game could go anywhere.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 December 2018 21:32

Manchester United 2-2 Arsenal, 74 minutes

There's so much space out there now.

Marcus Rashford wastes an opportunity to play in Romelu Lukaku as the home side force a three-on-two, before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang forces David De Gea into a diving save.

Here comes Paul Pogba...

Jesse Lingard goes off.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 December 2018 21:34

​GOAL! Burnley 1-3 Liverpool (Xherdan Shaqiri, 90 + 2 minutes)

Mohamed Salah to Xherdan Shaqiri, who seals victory for Liverpool.

After going 1-0 behind Jurgen Klopp will be pleased with his team's response. Another victory.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 December 2018 21:35

Full time at Craven Cottage. Denis Odoi had a superb late chance for Fulham but could only fire over, and thus Leicester take a point back to the Midlands with them. 1-1.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 December 2018 21:37

A superb home win for Wolves, shocking Chelsea 2-1 at Molineux thanks to goals from Raul Jimenez and Jota.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 December 2018 21:38

The full time whistle blows at Turf Moor. Burnley took the lead, but James Milner and Roberto Firmino scored to turn it around before Xherdan Shaqiri added the glossy finish in stoppage time. 3-1 to Liverpool.
