Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal survived a scare to grind out a win over Huddersfield Town to boost their hopes of finishing inside the top four.
The Gunners raced into a 2-0 lead thanks to Alex Iwobi and Alexandre Lacazette.
But Town responded well, but their goal came too late to provide more pressure in pursuit of a point, with Sead Kolasinac putting through his own net in stoppage time.
Relive the action as it happened above.
So, it's half time in each of the 3pm Premier League games, with five goals being scored in the first 45 minutes.
Georgino Wijnaldum's beautiful lob was the highlight of the first half, coming a few minutes after Sadio Mane had controversially given Liverpool the lead, appearing to head in from an offside position.
Alex Lacazette has underlined his importance to Arsenal with a goal just before half-time, after Alex Iwobi's deflected volley had given the Gunners the lead.
Mark Noble's penalty is the difference at Selhurst Park, and while the goalless game at Vicarage Road has been an intense affair, there is not a lot to speak about at St Mary's.
We're back underway in all five games. Can Huddersfield make an unlikely comeback?
Can Bournemouth do the same at Anfield? And will we see any breakthroughs at Vicarage Road and St Mary's?
