Watford vs Burnley LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates from this afternoon’s 3pm fixtures
Latest scores and goal updates from the Premier League’s 3pm kick-offs, including a huge relegation clash at Vicarage Road
Follow live updates as Burnley look to continue their late survival push in a Premier League relegation six-pointer against Watford. Since the shock sacking of Sean Dyche, Burnley have picked up seven points in three games under caretaker boss Mike Jackson to leapfrog Everton in the table. Victory at Watford this afternoon would see Burnley move five points clear of the drop ahead of Everton’s home fixture against Chelsea tomorrow.
But Watford have plenty to play for themselves, and will hope to end their miserable winless home run to salvage any late hope of avoiding an immediate relegation back to the Championship. Roy Hodgson’s side have lost 10 matches in a row at Vicarage Road - a run dating back to a 4-1 win over Manchester United in October - and another defeat would leave them seven points adrift with just four fixtures remaining.
A Burnley win would also relegate Norwich, if Dean Smith’s side lose to Aston Villa. The Canaries are 10 points adrift of Burnley and relegation would be confirmed if results elsewhere don’t go their way and Smith is defeated by his former side at Villa Park. Meanwhile, Southampton host Crystal Palace and Wolves take on Brighton in mid-table clashes.

GOAL! Southampton 1-1 Crystal Palace (Eze, 60)

Jordan Ayew feeds a nice ball down the left and when it’s pulled back Eze is totally unmarked eight yards out to tuck home.
All square.

Aston Villa 1-0 Norwich
55 mins: Villa so close to a second!
A corner comes in and Danny Ings flicks a header against the post! Nobody can meet the rebound and Norwich survive.
Southampton 1-0 Crystal Palace
52 mins: Not much going on in this one. Almost as if it’s between two Premier League sides with nothing to play for...
Wolves 0-1 Brighton

Watford 1-0 Burnley
