Saturday's kick-off times:
Chelsea 15:00 Swansea
Crystal Palace 15:00 Middlesbrough
Everton 15:00 Sunderland
Hull 15:00 Burnley
West Brom 15:00 Bournemouth
Watford 17:30 West Ham
88 mins: For the first time in this second half, Watford are on the front foot and they sense victory as they force a late corner. The delivery from the left is met by Britos, but the centre-back curves a header a yard wide of the woodwork.
90 mins: As three minutes of stoppage time are signalled, West Ham make a second substitution with young Edimilson Fernandes replacing Lanzini as Slaven Bilic looks to shore things up for these final moments.
90+4 mins: Successsssssssssssss....no! Watford substitute Isaac Success goes despairingly close to prodding home a scramble inside the West Ham penalty area, but can't get his boot to the ball. The chance goes and the whistle blows.
