Prediction
Burnley are in good form right now, and Liverpool are without their captain, but even Sean Dyche will struggle to come up with a way to stop Liverpool in full flow. Liverpool 2-0 Burnley.
51 min: Penalty for Watford! Ritchie catches Femenia in the box and the referee points to the spot. A big moment for the home side.
GOAL! Watford 1-1 Newcastle (Deeney) 52 min
Deeney lashes the penalty down the middle and Dubravka is beaten by the power. Watford's captain screams in delight. That could be big in their relegation fight.
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.
53 min: Antonio, searching for a hat-trick, climbs highest from another West Ham set piece but heads over the bar.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
