Meanwhile in the Championship
Well on course to secure the two automatic promotion places, Championship frontrunners Burnley and Sheffield United both get early opportunities to increase the gap between themselves and the chasing posse this afternoon.
Top of the table and already 17 points clear of third-placed Middlesbrough, Burnley travelled to Carrow Road to take on Norwich City in one of two lunchtime kick-offs. They lead by the only goal of the game at half-time, thanks to Anass Zaroury’s strike on eight minutes.
Behind Burnley, in second place and 12 points clear of Boro, Sheffield United are at the New York Stadium, where the deadlock between themselves and Rotherham remains unbroken at the break.

Today’s Premier League fixtures
Saturday Clockwatch … live!
With a record-breaking January transfer window now closed we return to what seems, for some fans at least, to be the far more mundane pursuit of watching footballers try to justify their price tags on the Premier League stage.
Chelsea and Fulham got the ball rolling at Stamford Bridge last night, playing out a scoreless draw that saw Chelsea booed off after getting little or no obvious bang for the 389 million American bucks their frontman Todd Boehly hosed in the direction of new signings last month.
In one of several intriguing fixtures this afternoon, strugglers Everton are hosting Arsenal in today’s early kick-off at Goodison Park. Sean Dyche’s first match in charge of the Toffees is going well so far, his side currently more than holding their own against the league leaders in a match that remains scoreless, due in no small part to chances squandered by Everton duo Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Abdoulaye Doucoure.
Once proceedings draw to a close on Merseyside, we have five three o’clock kick-offs this afternoon, with plenty riding on each. We’ll bring you pre-match team news, flag up all the goals as they go in while highlighting any major talking points. Afterwards, we’ll have on-the-whistle match reports from our reporters at the various grounds.
