Good afternoon and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's 3pm games in the Premier League.
Team news incoming...
TEAM NEWS: BRIGHTON VS SOUTHAMPTON
TEAM NEWS: BURNLEY VS WOLVES
TEAM NEWS: CRYSTAL PALACE VS HUDDERSFIELD
TEAM NEWS: LEICESTER VS BOURNEMOUTH
TEAM NEWS: MANCHESTER UNITED VS WATFORD
Hello hello.
Manchester City have just wrapped up a comfortable 2-0 win at Craven Cottage to return to the top of the Premier League table, but it's at the bottom where this afternoon's big news could come.
Huddersfield will be relegated with wins for Burnley and Southampton should they lose to Crystal Palace.
Jan Siewert looks confident, though.
Ole's at the wheel on a longer-term basis, with Manchester United confirming his appointment as the permanent manager earlier in the week.
Mark Critchley is at Old Trafford this afternoon to watch his first game in charge since that announcement, and has the inside story on why the Solskjaer's the man for Manchester United:
Solskajer has opted for a midfield diamond and a speedy striking duo of Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford this afternoon.
Watford are in town, Javi Gracia's side firmly in the mix for seventh place and seeking a first ever league win at Old Trafford.
It was a big week for The Independent as we counted down the top 100 players in Premier League history.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer checked in at number 67, and Miguel Delaney articulated what made the Norwegian so good as a player:
There was controversy in the top 20 with considerable debate despite the democratic process by which it was compiled. Dennis Bergkamp was unlucky number 13, Eric Cantona just missed the top ten and record goalscorer Alan Shearer only placed seventh.
So who was number one?
Leicester City fans are enjoying free beer, water and cupcakes in memory of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha ahead of what would have been his 61st birthday next week.
Ben Foster's back at Old Trafford this afternoon looking to continue what has been an excellent season for the former England shot-stopper.
Might he be in for a busy afternoon in the Watford goal?
Just about ten minutes to go.
The players are warming up in Kick It Out shirts this afternoon as football continues to combat racism in the game 25 years on from the organisations inception. After the vile incidents in Montenegro earlier this week, it's clear there is still much more work to be done in making football an inclusive environment for all regardless of creed, colour or religious belief.
If rumours are to be believed, this man could well be securing a long-term move to the West Midlands as Wolves and Benfica are closing on a deal for Raul Jimenez.
Jimenez was a late arrival back from international duty with Mexico and thus Ivan Cavaleiro is handed an opportunity up front for Wolves this afternoon. They're at Turf Moor to take on struggling Burnley.
Manchester United 0-0 Watford, 3 minutes
Manchester United 0-0 Watford, 6 minutes
Watford have begun well.
Roberto Pereyra finds Abdoulaye Doucoure with a clever pass and the Frenchman should do better with the chance, rather dragging it wide of David De Gea's near post when it may have been wiser to look for the far.
