    Watford 3-0 Aston Villa

    Conor Hourihane picks the ball up on the half volley in midfield and has a crack from 25 yards out. It's a clean hit but straight at Ben Foster, who isn't troubled.

    I know it's only December but I think Aston Villa may be waving goodbye to the Premier League already.

    David Ashworth.

    Sick of excuses. SACK SMITH NOW!

  3. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:34 Greenwich Mean Time 28 December 2019

    Southampton 1-1 Crystal Palace

    Substitute Moussa Djenepo cuts in from the left, weaving in and out of challenges and somehow finds himself in space in the box.

    He waits before attempting a curler into the far corner. Vicente Guaita is equal to it and reacts smartly to tip it over the bar! Great effort and great save.

    The last two games have shown that Leicester are still a way off the top two. They will get better and better though, they'll come on from this season, especially with an addition or two.

    Adam Rwinfer: Villa are 100% going down unless major changes are made. Dean Smith has been fantastic for us, but right now we are extremely poor. There are not three teams who will finish below us this season as it stand.

    Aleksandar Todorov: From 18th place and threat of relegation to 10th place and seven points off top four. I must say Carlo Ancelotti works fast to turn Everton fortunes around.

    West Ham v Leicester (17:30 GMT)

    Leicester City

    Important news from both camps.

    West Ham keeper Lukasz Fabianski returns after a long injury lay-off, while Leicester rest striker Jamie Vardy. Bad news for fantasy players world wide.

    Full deets on the way...

    Danny Ings

    No, no, no. This is awful.

    Martin Kelly tries to touch it back to James Tomkins and gets it all wrong. Danny Ings is there to pounce, like he always is, and just slots it into the net.

    He doesn't miss those.

    I'm not sure I knew that Dwight Gayle was still at Newcastle but he's just come on along with Christian Atsu.

    Ismaila Sarr

    Game over.

    Jack Grealish gives the ball away under pressure from Etienne Capoue and Watford can break.

    It's whipped across the face of the six-yard box and Ismaila Sarr blasts it first time into the bottom right corner.

    Beautiful finish. VAR double-checks it and says it's fine.

    Alex Scott

    It's a massive goal for Watford. You think now with a new manager they have some momentum building and can start to believe they can get out of trouble.

    Newcastle United 1-2 Everton

    Andy Carroll still causing chaos in the area, his shot is charged down well at the far post as Everton send on Seamus Coleman for Theo Walcott.

    Cedric Soares' header is straight at Vicente Guaita and it's a comfortable save. Southampton struggling to come up with much here.

    We knew that was a penalty straight away, so why were we waiting around for a VAR decision?
