Good afternoon and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's 3pm Premier League fixtures, with Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool all in action.
We'll bring you all the team news as it breaks from 2pm.
For those just tuning in, the result of the early kick-off: Manchester United 1-0 Tottenham. Not the most thrilling game, but the Red Devils returned to winning ways thanks to Anthony Martial's late strike at Old Trafford.
Here are five things we learned from that one.
A slight bit of pressure on Manchester City, then, ahead of their game against West Brom? Perhaps, but you shouldn't imagine Pep Guardiola will be too concerned given his side's recent form. The result at Old Trafford is probably just as relevant for Chelsea and Arsenal, both of whom have the chance to make up some ground on Spurs in the hours ahead.
Full disclosure: I have no fewer than NINE players in my fantasy football side appearing in these 3pm kick-offs. So if goal descriptions spill over into hysteria, you can probably assume that the scorer is one of my boys. Pathetic, I know, but you had the right to know.
