Player to watch
Jesse Lingard: The 25-year-old only managed his first goal of the season in Manchester United’s draw with Arsenal, but it seems that the England international could be hitting some form ahead of the packed Christmas schedule after a frustrating start to the season. He provided some much-needed energy through the middle in midweek and his substitution took the spark out of the hosts' attacks. Pace will be vital for United if they are to turn these draws into victories, and Lingard will be key to that.

No Glenn Murray (injured) or Shane Duffy (suspended) for Brighton today as they go to Turf Moor.
Joe Hart makes his 400th league appearance in English football in the Burnley goal this afternoon.
Lucas Perez capitalised on Marko Arnautovic's injury against Cardiff to secure back-to-back victories in the league for the first time in nearly two years for West Ham. He starts again and will hope to repeat his double dose against Crystal Palace at the London Stadium.
About five minutes until kick off around the grounds.
What does this afternoon have in store?

An early chance for Charlie Austin.
Matt Targett whips in a low cross and Austin can't quite find the far corner with his flick.
4 minutes - West Ham 0-0 Crystal Palace
Javier Hernandez also has a good early chance, with Wayne Hennessey reacting well to prevent the Mexican striker opening the scoring.
GOAL! West Ham 0-1 Crystal Palace (James McArthur, 6 minutes)
A free kick is delivered into the West Ham box and won by former Hammer James Tomkins, who flicks it on to James McArthur, lurking in space and able to jab it past Lukasz Fabianski to give Palace the early lead.
Manchester United 0-0 Fulham, 10 minutes
Ten minutes in at Old Trafford.
Diogo Dalot twice delivers into the Fulham box, but first Denis Odoi (with his head) and then Sergio Rico (with his gloves) are able to clear and claim to prevent any danger.
