Plenty of goals in the 3pm games, but will there be anymore to come in the late match at the Emirates?

You wouldn't bet against it as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang makes his Arsenal debut in a match you can join me and follow the live action on at this link.

From Sportsmail's Laurie Whitwell at The Hawthorns

'Some hope for West Brom. It is another superb delivery from Chris Brunt, this time a cross, and Salomon Rondon puts the ball in via his shoulder. Atmosphere lifted.'

16:38
From Sportsmail's Dominic King at Old Trafford

'Alexis Sanchez had barely touched the ball in the first 25 minutes here. But since having a shot in that moment, he has been electric. His penalty was terrible, his performance has been excellent.'

16:36
GOAL! BOURNEMOUTH 2-1 Stoke City

Bournemouth have turned it around at the Vitality Stadium as Lys Mousset heads home at the back post following a Jordon Ibe free-kick.

16:35
From Sportsmail's Chris Wheeler at Old Trafford

'Sanchez has been getting some pretty rough treatment today and just moments after Michael Hefele is booked for chopping down United’s new signing, he trips him up just inside the box to concede a penalty.

'Sanchez takes it himself and Jonas Lossl makes a great save, but the Chilean follows up to score his first goal for United. At £600,000-a-week in total their fans will hope it’s the first of many.'

16:31
GOAL! WEST BROMWICH ALBION 2-3 Southampton

What a finale set up at The Hawthorns as Salomon Rondon heads home a Chris Brunt free-kick with 18 minutes to play. A huge 18 minutes you feel in the teams' respective seasons.

16:28
GOAL! MANCHESTER UNITED 2-0 Huddersfield Town

Substitute Michael Hefele brought down Alexis Sanchez inside the box and although the Chielan saw his penalty saved by Jonas Lossl, the former Arsenal forward fires home the rebound for a goal on his Old Trafford debut.

16:28
GOAL! BOURNEMOUTH 1-1 Stoke City

With 20 minutes left Bournemouth are level on the south coast as Josh King grabs an equaliser.

16:28
PENALTY (Manchester United)
16:28
Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring for Manchester United
16:26
From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at the AMEX Stadium

'Pick that one out. Jose Izqueirdo has just scored an absurdly good goal. Curled one into the top corner beyond Adrian. 2-1 to Brighton.

'Its replays on the big screen attract 'oohs' and 'ahs' from the home fans.

'Michail Antonio warming up. Has David Moyes forgiven him enough to bring him on?'

16:24
From Sportsmail's Laurie Whitwell at The Hawthorns

'James Ward-Prowse hit his free-kick hard and true but Ben Foster should have done more. He took a fatal step to his right so that he could not dive down quick enough.'

16:21
GOAL! BRIGHTON 2-1 West Ham United

Pascal Gross's over hit corner is collected by Jose Izquierdo who from the corner of the 18-yard box hits a brilliant strike across goal and perfectly into the top corner.

GOAL! West Bromwich Albion 1-3 SOUTHAMPTON

Sofiane Boufal throws a sulk over not taking a free-kick won by Wesley Hoedt, but his tantrum isn't justified as James Ward-Prowse finds the net to double the Saints' lead and pile the relegation pressure on West Brom.

16:15
And people laughed at Arsenal fans for their Sanchez (and dogs) banner...
16:13
From Sportmail's Harry Slavin at the King Power Stadium

'In reality Leicester should be out of sight. Somehow, they now find themselves level.

'Swansea have started the half with some purpose and Fernandez has got himself on the end of Ki’s corner to drag the Welsh side level.'

16:10
GOAL! Leicester City 1-1 SWANSEA CITY

Speaking of big goals down at the bottom, this could be one as Federico Fernandez makes a rare appearance on the score sheet after steering home a Ki Sung-yueng corner to equalise for Swansea at the King Power.

16:07
The SECOND HALVES are underway in the Premier League

Can West Brom pull a crucial goal back against Southampton? Can Manchester United find an attacking edge against Huddersfield? No changes from Jose Mourinho at the break.

16:02
And here is how the bottom of the table looks at half-time...

Having looked in a promising position at one point in the first half, West Brom as it stands are cut adrift at the bottom of the table. They have 45 minutes to improve what is looking like a worrying situation for the Baggies...

15:53
From Sportsmail's Chris Wheeler at Old Trafford

'Alexis Sanchez has cut a frustrate figure in the first half and it gets the better of him in the last action before the interval as he takes down Florent Hadergjonaj and is rightly booked.

'United have been well on top but Huddersfield are doing all they can to hold Mourinho’s side at bay and treading a fine line at times.'

Alexis Sanchez and Manchester United struggled to break down Huddersfield in the first half
15:51
From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at the AMEX Stadium

'Also my favourite insult of the match so far from a fan: ‘What time do you start your paper round, Byram?’'

15:50
From Sportsmail's Laurie Whitwell at the The Hawthorns

'The atmosphere has been sucked from the stadium with that second Southampton goal. Losing here would be catastrophic for West Brom.'

15:47
From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at the AMEX Stadium

'Mark Noble plays a risky pass and West Ham lose possession, leading to a good Brighton attack. Stuart Pearce races out from the bench to shout at Noble. The club captain responds: ‘F*** off!’ Brave man, Mark...'

I'm going to go with silly, Kieran. Which right minded person picks a spat with Stuart Pearce of all people? Talk about kicking a hornets' nest.

15:45
GOAL! West Bromwich Albion 1-2 SOUTHAMPTON

What a spectacle this is turning into. Just over three minutes after equalising, Southampton now lead as Jack Stephens attacks the near post to head home a Jack Ward-Prowse corner across goal.

15:44
From Sportsmail's Laurie Whitwell at The Hawthorns

'Worth watching Mario Lemina’s goal later, a purer strike it will be hard to find.'

15:41
GOAL! West Bromwich Albion 1-1 SOUTHAMPTON

Unstoppable. Southampton are level at The Hawthorns with Mario Lemina finding the corner with a stunning 25-yard drive.

Javier Hernandez equalised for West Ham United at Brighton
15:39
From Sportsmail's Chris Wheeler at Old Trafford

'A niggly, fractious first half at Old Trafford. Mourinho is still out there on the touchline and the Huddersfield fans are chanting ‘you’re just a s**t Guardiola’. It’s fair to say an impeccably observed minute’s silence before kick-off is long fortgotten.'

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho gestures from the touchline at Old Trafford
15:38
From Sportsmail's Harry Slavin at the King Power Stadium

'Real confusion at the King Power. Ndidi is slipped in to make it 2-0 but as the Foxes players celebrate referee Anthony Taylor goes to have a word with his assistant. His flag is eventually raised for offside but not against Ndidi but Diabate, who had picked the ball up three passes earlier. It’s the right call, but the fans won’t know that.

'Meanwhile, this looks a bad one for Leroy Fer. He’s gone down clutching his left leg, but there was no one around him. He’s clearly in pain and can’t even stand up to get off the pitch. The stretcher is on and applause rings around the stadium as he is carried off. Tom Carroll is on in his place.'

15:37
From Sportsmail's Chris Wheeler at Old Trafford

'Curious decision by referee Stuart Attwell. Terence Kongolo has just poleaxed Scott McTominay in the penalty box with what was either a forearm or shoulder to the jaw.

'Either way, it was like something out of WWE. Technically speaking, it was a penalty surely.

'However, while McTominay was coming to his senses on the sidelines, Attwell restarted the game with a drop ball.

'It wasn’t the first meaty challenge by Huddersfield in the opening 25 minutes with Philip Billing particularly prominent.

'Jose Mourinho is on the touchline waving an imaginary yellow card in the air. What was he saying on Friday about having no problem with the tackling in the Premier League?'

15:33
From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at the AMEX Stadium

'Brilliant feet by Javier Hernandez. He starts the move with a nutmeg, then several passes later, he takes on two Brighton defenders and scores into the top right corner from 12 yards.

'Hernandez said yesterday in an interview that it was true he wanted to leave in January. He didn't and is now West Ham's main striker. He's just got them back into this.'

15:30
GOAL! Brighton 1-1 WEST HAM UNITED

The Hammers are level after half-an-hour and this is a terrific strike from Javier Hernandez as he plays a one-two with Mark Noble before charging at the home defence and unleashing a brilliant effort past Mat Ryan.

15:29
Jamie Vardy opened the scoring for Leicester City against Swansea City
15:27
From Sportsmail's Ralph Ellis at the Vitality Stadium

'Xherdan Shaqiri looking as if aliens have taken him away and replaced him with a clone that runs around and makes tackles. Never seen him working so hard.'

Xherdan Shaqiri of Stoke City opened the scoring with a header at Bournemouth
The forward celebrates his goal along with team-mate Peter Crouch
15:23
From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at the AMEX Stadium

'Come on Brighton this lot are rubbish,' shouts one home fan near me. Hard to disagree.
West Ham have been camped in their own half for most of this match.

'Mark Noble has just made a pass to no-one and the ball trickles out of play. Sums up their contribution so far.'

Glenn Murray opened the scoring for Brighton against West Ham United
The striker celebrates his goal at the AMEX Stadium along with team-mates
15:22
Manchester United 0-0 Huddersfield Town

How on earth have Huddersfield survived this? Terence Kongolo wipes out Scott McTominay for what looks like a certain penalty but nothing is given as United supporters chant 'you don't know what you're doing' to referee Stuart Attwell.

Alexis Sanchez instructs his side during Manchester United's clash with Huddersfield Town
15:20
From Sportsmail's Harry Slavin at the King Power Stadium

'Whether he meant it or not Leicester fans don’t care as Iheanacho sets up Jamie Vardy for the opener.

'The former Man City starlet tries to dance around two Swansea defenders on the edge of the box but a heavy touch turns into the perfect through ball for Vardy who calmly slots beyond Fabianski. It’s no more than they deserve.'

15:17
GOAL! LEICESTER CITY 1-0 Swansea City

Kelechi Iheanacho has made the most of his rare start, playing a ball into the path of Jamie Vardy who opens the scoring at the King Power.

15:16
From Sportsmail's Harry Slavin at the King Power Stadium

'The visitors are under the cosh and aren’t helping themselves. Federico Fernandez’s backpass is too square for Lukasz Fabianski and the extra touch he needs to take allows Jamie Vardy to hunt him down, fortunately for Swansea’s the England striker’s touch can only deflect it out for a throw in and nothing more serious.'

15:15
From Sportsmail's Laurie Whitwell at The Hawthorns

'The Cyrille Regis tribute was done thoughtfully and with warmth, and it has led to a crackling atmosphere at the Hawthorns.

'So much so that when West Brom won their first corner there was a roar of expectation. Sure enough, Chris Brunt delivered brilliantly (again) and Ahmed Hegazi rose to head in and lift the roof off.

'Jack Stephens complained he had his shirt pulled but in truth it was poor defending, he simply lost the Egyptian.'

15:13
From Sportsmail's Dominic King at Old Trafford

'An emotionally charged afternoon at Old Trafford and, as you would expect, the minute’s silence to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Munich air disaster was impeccably observed.

'Every supporter that as entered the stadium has been given a complimentary programme and book about the events of February 6, 1958 and Jose Mourinho’s words in his notes about the occasion strike the right tone. Those who perished, he says, will never be forgotten.'

15:11
From Sportsmail's Harry Slavin at the King Power Stadium

'Not many Swansea fans have made the trip to the King Power. You’d have thought there was something more pressing for sports fans in Wales this afternoon.

'It’s maybe hardly surprising they’ve stayed away though given their run of form against Leicester; they’ve not won here since 1950.'

15:10
From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at the AMEX Stadium

'Glenn Murray with the goal after only seven minutes. Referee Roger East with a very good advantage played after Aaron Cresswell chopped down Anthony Knockaert. Murray raced through and slipped it past Adrian.'

15:09
GOAL! BRIGHTON 1-0 West Ham United

Those West Ham fans have even more to grumble about now as Glenn Murray has given the hosts the lead after finishing coolly one-on-one with Adrian.

15:08
From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at the AMEX Stadium

'Three minutes in and the entire away end are singing: 'Sack the board.'
David Sullivan is here I believe...'

15:05
GOAL! Bournemouth 0-1 STOKE CITY

Chelsea didn't look like scoring against Bournemouth all evening on Wednesday... Stoke need just five minutes on the south coast as Xherdan Shaqiri nods home.

15:05
GOAL! WEST BROMWICH ALBION 1-0 Southampton

What a start in the scrap between the two sides threatened by relegation as Ahmed Hegazy powers home a header following a Chris Brunt corner - just hos second goal of the season.

15:04
West Brom paid tribute to Cyrille Regis before clash with Southampton
15:03
From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at the AMEX Stadium

'Good atmosphere at the Amex. Packed. Both teams should be up for this.  My prediction? A bold 2-2.'

14:55
So is Scott McTominay just a huge giant or has Alexis Sanchez shrunk?

McTominay has a good 20 centimeters on the 1.7m Sanchez - it looks a lot more during the Old Trafford warm up though.

From Sportsmail's Kieran Gill at the AMEX Stadium

'Joao Mario scoring some absolute screamers in the pre-match warm-up... one from outside of the box just struck the underside of the crossbar and went in. The new man starts today for West Ham.'

And on that note, 0-0 on the south coast anyone?

January loan signing from Inter Milan Joao Mario starts for West Ham United at Brighton
14:39

JOE BERNSTEIN: Johann Berg Gudmundsson almost took the roof of Turf Moor with a late equaliser to force a draw against champions-elect Manchester City.

City, fielding only six substitutes because of a lengthening injury list, had appeared ready to go 18 points clear when Brazilian Danilo struck from outside the box midway through the first half.

Daniel Sturridge makes first start for West Bromwich Albion

Both sides make changes in a bid to escape the bottom three in the table, with West Brom handing a full debut to Daniel Sturridge.

Swansea City meanwhile are unchanged from the team that triumphed 3-1 against Arsenal.

Stoke City make three changes in bid to escape relegation battle

Unsurprisingly, Eddie Howe sees fit to stick with the same Bournemouth starting XI that recorded a magnificent 3-0 victory at Chelsea on Wednesday.

Brighton make one change in bid to end six-match winless run

With just one Premier League victory in three months, Chris Hughton makes just one change from the 1-1 draw at Southampton as Anthony Knockaert comes into the Brighton team in place of Solly March.

David Moyes meanwhile names the same West Ham United team that drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace, which means new signing Jordan Hugill is on the bench.

It's a big weekend for Manchester United...

And not just because on the pitch they have come under a little bit of pressure after a capitulation against Tottenham Hotspur midweek. They host Huddersfield Town as they look for a return to winning ways.
