Player to watch…
Mohamed Salah: The Egyptian was once again the match-winner last week at Brighton, winning and scoring the penalty which secured three important points. Currently joint top-scorer in the Premier League on 14 goals alongside Harry Kane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Salah is at times being deployed as a central striker, a role he is thriving in as Liverpool look to stay clear of Manchester City.

Prediction:
Liverpool to win 3-0
Watford 0-0 Burnley, 4 minutes
All the action is at Vicarage Road in these early stages, and James Tarkowski is forced to clear of the line!
Troy Deeney is again the architect, finding Ken Sema who's shot is just about turned away by Tarkowski.
Liverpool 0-0 Crystal Palace, 8 minutes
First opening at Anfield, and the returning Joel Matip forces Julian Speroni into a save after James Milner's cross. The experienced Argentinian stopper is equal to the effort.
Newcastle 0-0 Cardiff, 13 minutes
Ayoze Perez forces Neil Etheridge into a diving save from a Newcastle corner. Good stuff from the Cardiff keeper.
Manchester United 0-0 Brighton, 13 minutes
A quiet start at Old Trafford.
Shane Duffy drifts in at the far post but heads straight at David De Gea, who catches with relative comfort.
A similarly touching tribute to Sir Matt Busby at Old Trafford 25 years on from his passing.
Southampton 0-0 Everton, 15 minutes
Top stop from Jordan Pickford!
He does superbly to get down to his left as Danny Ings flicks a header towards goal.
And continuing the theme of great tributes, Watford and Graham Taylor. A day tinged with sadness at a number of Premier League grounds...
Newcastle 0-0 Cardiff, 19 minutes
Ayoze Perez crosses but can't beat Joe Bennett. It appears the ball may have struck the Cardiff defender's arm, but Stuart Attwell is unmoved despite the hosts' protests.
Bournemouth 0-0 West Ham, 21 minutes
Bournemouth have the ball in the net, but it is offside!
Ryan Fraser's cross is a good one and Nathan Ake finds the goal with his header, but the linesman's flag is up and it will not stand. Callum Wilson is the offending party, and deemed to be interfering with play.
Good start from the home side at the Vitality.
