We’re all set for a busy afternoon of Premier League action.

There are five 3pm kick-offs in the English top-flight today, after Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace slumped to yet another loss in Saturday’s early game. This time, they lost 1-0 to Southampton.

Liverpool’s home match against Burnley is the pick of the 3pm ties – how will Jurgen Klopp’s side respond to two disappointing results against Manchester City and Sevilla respectively?

Manchester City meanwhile travel to Watford, while Newcastle United host Stoke City.

Huddersfield play Leicester City and West Brom entertain West Ham in the two other 3pm kick-offs, before Tottenham host Swansea in the teatime match.

Follow all the live action from around the grounds below.

9 mins: Liverpool 0 Burnley 0: Jurgen Klopp has made seven changes to the team that drew with Sevilla in the Champions League in midweek, and that upheaval is showing. The Reds are taking a while to get going, but have just registered their first shot: a long range scuffer from Trent Alexander-Arnold that went well wide.

There's not much happening at Anfield, but there are records being made at the Hawthorns.

19 mins: GOAL! NEWCASTLE 1 STOKE 0:

Newcastle are ahead at St James' Park! Christian Atsu was in the right place - unmarked at the far post - at the right time - the 19th minute - to poke home Matt Ritchie's cross. It's a welcome sight for manager Rafa Benitez, who is back in the dugout this afternoon after missing his side's last match at Swansea following an operation.

21 mins: Liverpool 0 Burnley 0: The home side are seeing plenty of the ball, but are struggling to find a way through a mass of white shirts, shorts and socks. Philippe Coutinho, back in a Liverpool kit for the first time since his move to Barcelona failed to materialise, weaves his way into the box before going to ground. There's half a claim for a penalty but referee Roger East is not interested.

27 mins: GOAL! LIVERPOOL 0 BURNLEY 1:

Burnley strike! It's the Canadian international Scott Arfield who has stunned at Anfield! The Clarets midfielder latched on to a bouncing ball inside the Liverpool box, hopelessly dealt with by the home defence. First time, Arfield took aim and smashed a low drive into the bottom left corner of Simon Mignolet's goal, sparking frenzied celebrations in and in front of the away end.

27 mins: GOAL! WATFORD 0 MANCHESTER CITY 1:

Manchester City break the deadlock and there are no prizes for guessing who's responsible. Yes, it's Sergio Aguero with his fourth of the season. The on-fire forward was first to react as Kevin De Bruyne curled a free-kick into the box, and had time and space to head beyond Heurelho Gomes.
