Your support makes all the difference.Salomon Rondon netted an impressive brace for Newcastle United as they claimed consecutive wins in the Premier League for the first time since April to move a point clear of the bottom three with a 2-1 win over Bournemouth.
Newcastle, full of confidence following their previous victory over Watford, got off to the perfect start when Rondon opened the scoring after just seven minutes following fine build-up work from DeAndre Yedlin.
Bournemouth's Adam Smith suffered what appeared a serious injury and play had to be suspended for eight minutes while he received treatment before being carried off with suspected knee ligament damage.
Rondon grabbed his second five minutes before the break when he met Kenedy's cross and directed a powerful header past Asmir Begovic.
Bournemouth refused to lie down and made the most of eight added minutes at the end of the first half when Jefferson Lerma headed home a cross from Ryan Fraser to net his first goal for the club.
Eddie Howe's side were unfortunate not to come away with a point in the second half as Jordan Ibe fired over when clean through on goal and Dan Gosling's 84th minute effort was ruled out for offside.
Special 100-year Remembrance Day displays are going on at all four grounds before kick-off in just under five minutes time.
There's also a tribute to Vichai Srivaddhanprabha, who lost his life a fortnight ago, and Claudio Ranieri is in attendance at the King Power.
Let's see what's in store for us today.
We're underway in all four Premier League 3pm games.
It's an emotional afternoon for all involved, so let's see what they can inspire.
4 min: Huddersfield 0-0 West Ham
Huddersfield nearly continue from where they left off on Monday against Fulham. Steve Mounie rises highest before Lukasz Fabianski makes a great save, before Lossl makes a fantastic save to prevent West Ham from opening the scoring.
6 min: Southampton 0-0 Watford
Watford very nearly take the lead much to the dismay of the home supporters. Gerard Deulofeu manages to get a shot away and the keeper McCarthy does well to divert the ball away.
GOAL! Huddersfield 1-0 West Ham (Pritchard 6')
They do continue from where they left off! Alex Pritchard manages to squeeze a shot from the edge of the box past Lukasz Fabianski, with the Pole out of position as West Ham try to clear.
GOAL! Newcastle 1-0 Bournemouth (Rondon 7')
The Venezuelan puts Newcastle ahead with his first Premier League goal for the Magpies. DeAndre Yedlin whips in a brilliant ball from the right and Rondon finishes at the second time of asking.
9 min: Leicester 0-0 Burnley
No serious chances for either side here. The weather seems to be reflecting the somber mood at the King Power Stadium this afternoon, and that seems to have hindered either side from starting well so far.
Leicester do have an appeal for a penalty turned dowm though after Charlie Taylor blocks a cross from the right
14 min: Southampton 0-0 Watford
There are little holes appearing in the defences of both sides but so far there hasn't been the necessary quality to take advantage of them.
This is the case for Chris Armstrong. who gets his cut-back wrong after good work from Manolo Gabbiadini.
15 min: Huddersfield 1-0 West Ham
A big let-off for West Ham. A cross from Philip Billing on the right loops over Lukasz Fabianski to hit the inside of the far post, before trickling all the way to graze the other post.
