Just about half an hour to go in the Premier League until kick-off time.

It's tight in the Championship promotion battle where Newcastle and Brighton have been trading places at the top. Just one point separate the two but Brighton will perhaps fancy their chances of finishes the day in first place. They are at home to Burton Albion will current leaders Newcastle have a tricky trip to Wolves in the evening.  

Elsewhere, third-place Reading entertain Barnsley while Norwich, currently seventh, can close in on the play-off places if they beat Nottingham Forest. The Canaries are currently five points behind Sheffield Wednesday, who are sixth.

The early game has finished at the Emirates, where Arsenal have picked up the points thanks to two goals from Alexis Sanchez.

Read the reaction to two questionable goals here. 

Middlesbrough make just one change from the side who lost 1-0 to Spurs last time out, with Cristhian Stuani coming in for Stewart Downing, while Gaston Ramirez replaces Patrick Bamford on the bench.

Middlesbrough XI: Valdes, Chambers, Bernardo, Gibson, Fabio, De Roon, Clayton, Forshaw, Traore, Negredo, Stuani.

Two changes for Palace boss Sam Allardyce from that shambolic 4-0 home defeat by fellow strugglers Sunderland last weekend.

Serbia midfielder Luka Milivojevic makes his Eagles debut, with Andros Townsend also recalled. Out go centre-back Scott Dann and midfielder Yohan Cabaye as Big Sam ditches the 3-4-3 formation and goes back to more-familiar back four.

"Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been a central part of the improvement of Manchester United. The club have had a number of draws at home this season - had they turned those into wins they'd currently be sitting right behind Chelsea."

A win every 7.7 games. Can any other supporters attest to as bad a run as that from Crystal Palace?!

John Motson

Only goal difference is keeping Crystal Palace off the foot of the table. Their league position can't get much worse but you have to wonder when, or if, it will improve.

Under Alan Pardew and now Sam Allardyce, Palace have only won seven of their last 45 league fixtures - losing 27.

One of those wins was a 4-1 thumping of Stoke in September but the current bad run started after another victory against the Potters, at the bet365 Stadium in December 2015.

Can they emulate that win? Well, mid-table Stoke have only won twice in 10 games but a point might be viewed as a step in the right direction for Palace.

It was looking a little precarious for Watford up until two or three weeks ago, but a couple of decent recent results mean they're almost safe. 

But it remains a weird dynamic at that football club, with the manager likely to go at the end of the season.

This is a match between two sides who are going well in the Premier League - but who may find it hard to improve much on their current positions.

West Ham have won six of the last nine league matches but they were thrashed 4-0 by Manchester City in their last home game, while West Brom were stung by the same scoreline at Tottenham last month on their most recent visit to London.

Albion have generally been solid though and have only lost once to a team currently outside the top seven all season, in September's 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth.

West Ham were in the midst of their early-season struggles when they lost heavily at The Hawthorns in the reverse fixture. This game should be much tighter.

Andy Carroll -  who Slaven Bilic said in the week could play for any team in world football - can't play for West Ham because of a groin injury.

His career in a nutshell?

After weeks of keeping themselves above the bottom three, defeat this weekend could see Middlesbrough fall into it for the first time this season.

Their current seven-game winless run, coupled with the recent upturn in form of Hull, Sunderland and Swansea, has finally diverted Boro onto uneasy street.

Defensively they remain a tough side to break down, but as the league's lowest scorers it's their offensive deficiencies which have sucked them into trouble.

Contrast that with Everton, who arrive on the back of four wins in their last five games and with Romelu Lukaku having scored more league goals last Saturday against Bournemouth than Middlesbrough's entire squad have netted since Christmas!

We should have team news for our five 15:00 GMT kick-offs in 10 minutes or so.

Last week's extraordinary and hugely unexpected 4-0 victory away to Crystal Palace breathed much-needed life into Sunderland's survival battle.

Now David Moyes' side could be catching Southampton at just the right time to inject further momentum.

Saints have lost six of their last seven Premier League games and it appears their focus is on picking up silverware in a fortnight at Wembley rather than picking up points.

Now enduring their fifth successive relegation scrap, Sunderland supporters recognise a golden opportunity when they see it.

They're also well accustomed to seeing their stars in stripes fluff their lines, so know better than to expect a comfortable afternoon at the Stadium of Light.

I was at Vicarage Road back in September to see Watford's first-ever Premier League points against Manchester United, but Jose Mourinho's team have a much more solid and settled look about them now.

United are currently on their longest unbeaten league run since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, but they know it is all about winning in the chase for a top-four finish.

The Old Trafford draws against Stoke, Burnley, West Ham and Hull are still frustrating memories. Had those been victories, United would have been second, six points off Chelsea.

Those results will be a source of belief for Watford, as will their recent victory at the Emirates; they've enjoyed upsetting the odds at times this season, although will have to be at their very best to do so again.
