Norwich vs West Ham prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out today?

Follow the latest updates live from the Premier League clash between Norwich City and West Ham United at Carrow Road.

Two early games kick-off Saturday’s action with Norwich clinging on to their Premier League status, though defeat today will mathematically relegate Daniel Farke’s side to the Championship as they currently sit 10 points from safety with 12 left to play for. West Ham meanwhile are one of the two sides who Norwich have faint hopes of catching, with the Hammers needing a win to drag them away from the relegation zone that they currently sit just three points ahead of.

As well as Norwich’s clash with West Ham, Watford host Newcastle from 12:30pm in another relegation clash, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City all in action later in the day. Follow the live updates below.

85 min: It's all petering out a little at Carrow Road. West Ham are reserving their energy for future games. Norwich are down and out. 
SUBS
85 min: Deeney is replaced for the final few minutes by Cleverley. The former's two penalties could be the biggest goals of Watford's season.
YELLOW CARD
84 min: Hughes, who's had a good second half, drives down the right and is cynically fouled by Schar. He goes into the book.
83 min: Another chance for Deeney. Newcastle have fallen apart. Hughes surges down the middle and has his captain free on the left. He picks him out, but Deeney's shot is blocked.
GOAL!
GOAL! Watford 2-1 Newcastle (Deeney) 82 min
Deeney does it again! It's almost exactly the same as the first penalty, slammed down the middle with real anger. Again, he lets out a primal scream when the ball hits the net. Watford are on the verge of a big, big win.
80 min: Watford have another penalty! Sarr turns Manquillo and the Newcastle full back pulls him back in the box. Craig Pawson points to the spot again. This could be a huge goal, if Deeney can convert again...
SUBS
77 min: Antonio will get a deserved rest and, no doubt, a standing ovation from every West Ham fan watching on TV. An incredible performance from him. Noble is off too, with Wilshere and Haller on. Norwich bring on McLean for Vrancic.
77 min: The tempo has died down a little at Vicarage Road. Watford might be content with a point, though all three would make things a lot more comfortable ahead of their final three games against West Ham, Manchester City and Arsenal.
GOAL!
GOAL! Norwich 0-4 West Ham (Antonio) 74 min
Antonio has four! Noble plays another good ball over the top for Fredericks, who has all the time in the world to pick out Antonio waiting in the six-yard box. He casually sweeps the ball past Krul, and adds yet another goal to his tally. Poor defending again from Norwich, but an afternoon to remember for Antonio.
SUBS
72 min: Changes at Vicarage Road, too, as Joelinton comes on for Matt Ritchie.
SUBS
69 min: Norwich make four changes as they look to make the scoreline a little more respectable. Martin, Idah, Rupp and Cantwell are on for Pukki, Buendia, Stiepermann and Hernandez.
67 min: Newcastle have the ball in the net, but it won't count. Saint-Maximin gets in behind, squares the ball and forces Dawson into what would have been an own goal. The Frenchman had strayed offside, though, and the flag was quickly up.
64 min: Deeney, who's been in patchy form before today, is becoming increasingly influential at Vicarage Road. He holds the ball up and then finds Doucoure, who lashes a shot wide on his left foot.
62 min: Vrancic gets his head to an Aarons cross but can only guide it wide. Norwich are, to their credit, showing a bit of fight.
61 min: Nice feet from Hernandez to work space on the edge of the box and hit a low shot towards the bottom corner. Fabianski reads it and makes a routine save.
60 min: So close! Watford are really pushing for the second goal now. Sarr and Deeney link up, and the latter picks out Welbeck in the middle. His shot deflects, wrong foots Dubravka and loops agonisingly onto the roof of the net. 
59 min: What a chance! Deeney should put Watford in front. It's a big mistake from Fernandez, who plays a loose pass straight to the feet of the striker. He only has Dubravka to beat but drills his finish straight at the goalkeeper, who holds the ball well. 
GOAL!
GOAL! Norwich 0-3 West Ham (Antonio) 54 min
There is the hat-trick! It's the first of his career, and it's pushed West Ham closer to safety. Noble plays Antonio in behind with a perfectly-weighted pass and he drives through on goal. His side-footed finish is saved by Krul but Antonio gets his head to the rebound, looping it over the goalkeeper and into the empty net.
53 min: Antonio, searching for a hat-trick, climbs highest from another West Ham set piece but heads over the bar.
53 min: It's all happening at Vicarage Road. Newcastle immediately go up the other end and Almiron's low shot requires a save from Foster.
