Newcastle United vs Fulham – Premier League live: Latest score and updates
Fulham will be looking to move off the bottom of the table when they travel to the north east to take on Newcastle.
Claudio Ranieri's first game in charge against Southampton remains his sole victory as Fulham manager since replacing Slavisa Jokanovic in mid-November, and the Italian saw his side put in a dismal home display in a 2-0 loss to West Ham last weekend.
Meanwhile, Newcastle's win at Huddersfield was just their fourth victory of the season, but put Rafael Benitez's side four points clear of the relegation zone.
Wilfried Ndidi unfurls a corking long-range strike that seems destined for the top corner, and it would find its way there were it not for a flying Spanish goalkeeper.
Kepa Arrizabalaga produces a quite magnificent save to tip Ndidi's strike over the bar. Brilliant effort, brilliant save.
GOAL! Manchester City 1-2 Crystal Palace (Andros Townsend, 35 minutes)
WHAT! A! GOAL!
That is stunning!
The ball floats to Andros Townsend 30 yards from goal, dropping out of the air and onto Townsend's left boot.
Townsend hits it first time on the volley, and his strike is ludicrously clean. The ball rifles past Ederson, seemingly finding a second wind to rise five yards from goal, taking it past the diving Brazilian and powering into the back of the net.
GOAL! West Ham 0-1 Watford (Troy Deeney, 30 minutes)
Lukasz Fabianski had saved his last three Premier League penalties faced, but Troy Deeney powers past the Pole and Watford do indeed take the lead at the London Stadium.
David Brooks has really caught the eye this season with his dribbling ability and pace, but on this occasion it is the fiercest of finishes that has given Bournemouth the lead.
The young Welsh international charges at the Brighton defence, forcing them to back off and cutting inside to power past Mathew Ryan in some fashion.
The match will not be shown live on TV or online in the UK.

Highlights will be shown at 10:30pm on BBC One.
Player to watch…
Salomon Rondon: The Venezuelan needed just one chance to settle the game at Huddersfield, taking his top-flight tally to four for the season. The goals have been invaluable to Benitez's side, and his latest was the reward for the hard work chasing down lost causes for much of the game. If Newcastle are to go further clear of the drop zone, they will need the ex-Malaga forward to add to that number over the festive period.
