Ooof! 

Newcastle conceded in the 93rd minute on Boxing Day, but only a last-minute clearance off the line by Fabricio Coloccini prevents James Morrison from sweeping home the opener with barely five minutes gone.

Good start by the Baggies.

You'd think the towering figure of Diermerci Mbokani of Norwich is going to cause problems for Aston Villa's defence this afternoon.

Centre-back Ciaran Clark lets the striker know he's not going to be bullied this afternoon through with a crunching tackle.

At the other end, Leandro Bacuna forces Declan Rudd into an early - but unconvincing - save.

Stoke boss Mark Hughes has urged Marko Arnautovic to shoot more after he bagged against Manchester United and he is doing just that, having a pop from 25 yards just 30 seconds into this game. Well struck, but the effort is blocked.

Here we go. Five Premier League games under way. Let's do this.

The players are in the tunnels at grounds up and down the country. Almost time for kick-off, so it is as good as time as any to remind you that can follow any of the Premier League fixtures more closely by clicking on one of the below:

Garth Crooks
Former Spurs striker on Final Score

"I don't think Spurs' team can win the title, they don't have the steel to do it or the class of players. I see too many games Spurs play well and do not take maximum points.

"Harry Kane has all the pieces of jigsaw to be top class, he just needs to help get Spurs in the top four and that is the acid test for me."

Just spotted a man dressed as Santa Claus in the Newcastle end at The Hawthorns. The outfit was in black and white, obviously!

Ho-ho-howay the lads.

Teams are out of the pitch doing their warm-ups and stretches before kick-off. Aston Villa currently going through a drill where they all run towards the ball before running back.

Let's see how that one plays out against Norwich.

Alistair Mann
MOTD commentator at Vicarage Road

"While Leicester City's stunning achievements so far this season have understandably grabbed the headlines, Watford's excellent start to the campaign puts them second in the 'surprise team of the season' table.

"Their current five-match unbeaten run has taken them to within 11 points of the 40-point barrier, the holy grail for any promoted side. For the Hornets' more optimistic fans, though, it's also put them three points off the Champions League places in which opponents Spurs currently reside.

"Both sides have in-form strikers too, Odion Ighalo for the hosts, Harry Kane for the visitors, which adds even greater intrigue to a meeting of two teams whose self-belief and confidence couldn't be higher."

Shame for Rob Elliot. His error led to Everton grabbing the late winner on Boxing Day but if it was not for him, the Toffees could have been out of sight long before then.

Oh so close to an equaliser at the Macron Stadium, where Tom Lawrence has struck the post for Blackburn in injury time. Bottom side Bolton hanging on.

Martin Fisher
Match of the Day commentator at Carrow Road

"The mere presence of Tony Pulis at The Hawthorns is enough to persuade most pundits that West Brom aren't in any danger of relegation. The club is in safe hands. But the man himself will be guarding against any complacency.

"Forty points is his mantra and he'll be concerned at Albion's recent form. One win in their last eight games leaves them just three points above the bottom three.

"Newcastle again occupy that last spot in the relegation zone after their cruel stoppage-time loss to Everton.

"But Steve McClaren told me afterwards that he saw enough heart and unity in that display to be optimistic about their future. That future starts now."

Final Score

Well wait no further Shaun, flick over to the Red Button as Final Score is starting NOW.

Ouch. Louis van Gaal might want to avoid passing the scarf sellers outside Old Trafford today...

With eight matches taking place in the Premier League this Bank Holiday Monday, there will be plenty of talking points.
