West Brom are level! West Ham must have thought they had this wrapped up by Jonny Evans has popped up to head home in injury time. Slaven Bilic livid; he's just smashed a TV microphone to bits.

Goal! West Ham 2-2 West Brom (Jonny Evans, 90+)

Full-time: Manchester United 2-0 Watford

Oh Sunderland. It has got worse. Minutes after that own goal, James Ward-Prowse frees Shane Long in the box who finds a cool finish to add a fourth.

Goal! Sunderland 0-4 Southampton (Shane Long, 90)

Sunderland's miserable afternoon gets worse, Jason Denayer has just scored past his own goalkeeper.

West Ham have completed a comeback! It's brilliant from Lanzini who drives forward before lashing a low strike into the bottom corner. From a goal behind, the lead with minutes remaining.

Goal! Sunderland 0-3 Southampton (Jason Denayer OG, 87)

Goal! West Ham 2-1 West Brom (Manuel Lanzini, 88)

Ibrahimovic's build-up play has been excellent today, but he's had a stinker in front of goal. He brilliantly threads a ball out to Mkhitaryan and breaks into the six yard area to meet the Armenian's return cross. He sticks out a boot but somehow wraps his foot around it to pull it away from goal!

Martial's excellent afternoon is over, Marcus Rashford will replace him. The Frenchman gets a huge ovation from the Old Trafford crowd and a hug from his manager to boot.

Meanwhile at the Stadium of Light, Manolo Gabbiadini has just been replaced by Shane Long. No hat-trick for him today.

By the time Watford's defence realised where Martial was placing the ball, it had already hit the back of the net.

Here's United's first change of the game, Marouane Fellaini replaces Mata.

Stoke City add to Crystal Palace's misery. It's brilliant from the returning Ramadan Sobhi who superbly controls the ball before playing it across for Joe Allen who finds the far corner from 10 yards out.

Goal! Stoke City 1-0 Crystal Palace (Joe Allen, 67)

West Ham equalise! Ben Foster is a bit unlucky, he does well to save Manuel Lanzini's effort but Sofiane Feghouli is just behind is teammate to sweep home the rebound.

Goal! West Ham 1-1 West Brom (Sofiane Feghouli, 63)

Mkhitaryan squares a lovely ball back for Ibrahimovic on the edge of the box but Kaboul makes a terrific block to ensure his shot is off target.

United double their lead! Capoue misplaces a pass and not for the first time today, Herrera is there to clean up. He moves the ball up to Ibrahimovic who turns it brilliantly onto Martial down the inside left. As he's been told to do all game, he cuts in menacingly and this time gives everyone the eyes, shaping to curl one into the far corner before stabbing it in at the near post.

Goal! Manchester United 2-0 Watford (Anthony Martial, 59)

Mkhitaryan is down after getting a hefty whack in the face from Niang. It was unintentional, but United get the free kick.

No goals yet in the second halves of our five matches.

Pogba looks to win the ball of Janmaat but the referee awards Watford the free kick. Zarate takes it and it draws a very decent save out of De Gea.

Every time Martial gets the ball out on the left, you can hear Mourinho shouting at him to attack the Watford defence. Every time he does so, that defence looks nervous.

Close from Martial! The Frenchman gets the ball out on the left and Mourinho bellows at him to go. Martial breezes past Cathcart and fires the ball across goal, but sends his effort just wide.

One change for Watford as we get back underway at Old Trafford, Darryl Janmaat on for Britos.

Paul Pogba had a decent old first-half out there.

Half-time scores:

Manchester United 1-0 Watford (Juan Mata, 31)

Stoke 0-0 Crystal Palace

West Ham 0-1 West Brom (Nacer Chadli, 4)

Sunderland 0-2 Southampton (Manolo Gabbiadini, 30, 44)

Middlesbrough 0-0 Everton

Half-time whistles now beginning to blow.

Brilliant from Manolo Gabbiadini! He has his third in two games, turning exquisitely inside the box before firing past Vito Mannone.

Goal! Sunderland 0-2 Southampton (Manolo Gabbiadini, 44)

Ander Herrera has been superb today for Manchester United; I don't he has lost a 50-50 challenge all game.

United have had Watford on the ropes for the last 15 minutes but Mata has delivered the opener.

This man has his second in as many games since his deadline day arrival in the Premier League.

I've lost count of how many chances United have had in this half; they are looking superb. Mata superbly flicks the ball back out to Valencia who creeps inside the box before pinging a ball into Martial. A combination of Gomes and Prodl manage to keep it out.

Amid all that, Southampton have taken the lead at Sunderland and Manolo Gabbiadini is on the scoresheet again, converting Ryan Bertrand's cross from the left. Two in two for the Italian.

FINALLY! United have the breakthrough. Mata starts the move, finding Mkhitaryan who frees Martial down the left. He slides a pinpoint pass into the six yard area to find the Spaniard who has continued his run and taps home.

Goal! Manchester United 1-0 Watford (Juan Mata, 31)

This is getting a bit ridiculous. Mata denies AGAIN. We are into double figures for chances for the home side so far.

Another chance goes begging for United. Mata makes a run in behind the back four and slides the ball back to Mkhitaryan on the edge of the box. He has the entire goal to aim for, but blazes over! Did the ball bobble just before it reached him? Maybe.

Goal! Sunderland 0-1 Southampton (Manolo Gabbiadini, 30)

Outstanding from Valencia, who shrugs off two challenges to bulldoze his way down the right, crossing a ball into Pogba who can't quite steer it past Gomes, who makes another decent save. There's a relentless pace to this game at the moment.

Ibrahimovic again finds himself free in the box. Pogba lofts a superb ball into the Swede, who takes it on his chest before lashing the volley on goal but he fires over. Given this is Ibra, that is poor from him.

Ibrahimovic is knocked off the ball by Britos. United take the free kick quickly and it frees Mata who slides across goal, teeing Martial up for a simple tap in. It won't count, however, referee Bobby Maddley says he hadn't given them the nod to take the set piece.

Zarate tries an extraordinary overhead kick from just inside the United box but it is straight at De Gea.

Now Pogba comes close! Really lively start at Old Trafford, the Frenchman bends a shot on goal from 20 yards out but Gomes pushes it away.

Watford now come close! Niang brilliantly dummies a ball, allowing it to run onto Holebas who drives a vicious effort across goal that veers just away from De Gea's far post.

Rondon denied by the bar! It's all happening in east London; the West Brom striker drives a superb volley on goal from 25 yards out but is denied by the woodwork. West Ham survive.

West Ham come within inches of equalising against West Brom with Robert Snodgrass almost finding the top corner with a superb free kick, only to be denied by Ben Foster.

Brilliant run from Martial, who cuts in from the left, dancing past three Watford defenders but his effort on goal is blocked by Prodl.

Ibrahimovic slides a wonderful ball through for Mata to race onto but Gomes scampers off his line to get to the ball just in time.

West Brom have the first goal of the afternoon! Chadli picks up the ball and weaves his way into the box, gliding past Kouyate and slots through the legs of Randolph.

Goal! West Ham 0-1 West Brom (Nacer Chadli, 4)

Early chance for United. Valencia, Mata and Pogba combine delightfully down the right, creating space for the United right-back to whip in a cross for Ibrahimovic, who has found space between the two centre-halves. He watches the ball drop out of the air and goes for the volley, but miss hits it into the ground.

And we are underway in our 3pm kick-offs.

No sign of Luke Shaw again today for United. The club have not disclosed any illness or injury. With Daley Blind starting at left-back in place of the injured Marcos Rojo - who started there against Leicester - and Matteo Darmian the only full-back cover on the bench, is he now United's fourth-choice in that position?

West Ham were dealt a late blow this week with Andy Carroll unavailable this afternoon. Manuel Lanzini instead joins Antonio up front; otherwise it's the same side that beat Southampton last week.

Tony Pulis meanwhile has named an unchanged West Brom side.

Darron Gibson makes his Sunderland debut this afternoon; he starts in midfield in place of Jack Rodwell. Adnan Januzaj retains his place in the starting XI, playing just in behind Jermain Defoe.

Sofiane Boufal drops out of the Southampton starting XI with Dusan Tadic returning. Manolo Gabbiadini leads the line again after his extremely encouraging debut against West Ham last week.

Cristhian Stuani comes in for Stewart Downing in Middlesbrough's only change from the 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. Gaston Ramirez is fit again and returns to the bench at the expense of January signing Patrick Bamford.

Tom Davies is back in the starting XI; he slots into Ronald Koeman's starting XI with James McCarthy dopping out. Idrissa Gueye also returns in place of Gareth Barry.

Stoke City's Ramadan Sobhi is back from Africa Cup of Nations duty and comes straight back into Mark Hughes' starting XI this afternoon. He is the only change to the side that lost to West Brom last time out; Saido Berahino remains on the bench.

After that 4-0 thrashing at home to Sunderland last time out, you might have expected Sam Allardyce to name a completely new starting XI today. The Crystal Palace boss makes just two changes however, with Luka Milivojevic coming in for his debut.

Jose Mourinho makes two changes to the United side that eased to victory over Leicester last Sunday. Daley Blind comes into replace Marcos Rojo at left-back; that means there is still no room for Luke Shaw who doesn't even make the match day squad today.

The big news however is further up on the pitch. On a day where fresh reports have suggested Mourinho has given up on him, Anthony Martial returns to the starting XI for just the second time in the league this year. He joins Henrikh Mkhitaryan in attack to support Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with Wayne Rooney settling for a spot on the bench.

Chris Smalling and Eric Bailly continue at centre-half; Matteo Darmian is the only other defensive option on the bench.

Watford team to face Manchester United: Gomes (GK); Cathcart, Kaboul, Prödl, Britos; Cleverley, Capoue; Niang, Zárate, Holebas; Deeney (c)

Subs: Arlauskis (GK), Mariappa, Janmaat, Behrami, Doucouré, Success, Okaka.

Marcos Rojo came off at half-time in the 3-0 win over Leicester City last week, he is not available today with Daley Blind slotting in instead at left-back.

Subs: Romero, Darmian, Carrick, Fellaini, Lingard, Rashford, Rooney

BREAKING: Anthony Martial returns to the Manchester United starting XI.

In today's early kick-off, Arsenal are hosting Hull City at the Emirates. A surprise win for the Tigers would have given Manchester United the opportunity of moving into fourth place today. That's not looking to likely at the minute with the Gunners leading. Follow the final half an hour of the action in north London right here.

If Anthony Martial's exile continues, Marcus Rashford looks to be the man to profit. Mourinho said of the 19-year-old this week:

He said something the other day that made me really happy. He says he is learning so much in the technical meetings and training sessions so I think his future will be brilliant. His present is good and we need him.

"I'm always happy with Marcus Rashford's contribution. He is one of those players that when he is on the pitch he tries, he always gives something.

Team news: Manchester United

Any chance of us seeing Anthony Martial on the pitch today? While he recently tweeted to deny reports claiming he has grown frustrated at Old Trafford, Martial has been exiled from the first-team in recent weeks, having not played a minute of Premier League football since the 1-1 draw with Liverpool on 15 January.

He was left on the bench as United strolled to that 3-0 win at the King Power Stadium, with Ashley Young brought on instead of the Frenchman to replace Marcus Rashford.

Team news: Watford

Walter Mazzarri will make late decisions on Miguel Britos and Valon Behrami ahead of kick-off. Nordin Amrabat, Camilo Zuniga and Christian Kabasele have all returned to training this week although none of them are expected to return this afternoon. Costel Pantilimon also remains sidelined with an ankle problem.

With Phil Jones out, Jose Mourinho hinted on Friday Eric Bailly will retain his place in the United back-line following his return from the Africa Cup of Nations. The Ivory Coast completed 90 minutes alongside Chris Smalling in the easy win over Leicester last week.

Every team needs four central defenders. But we coped well without Eric. The other guys did very, very well.

"Now it's time for Jones to be out and time for Eric to be in. Of course, we're happy he played already that last match and he showed again security and understanding with the other guys, so we're fine.

Team news: Manchester United

United will have Wayne Rooney available again today after the skipper missed last week's trip to Leicester City due to illness. Phil Jones remains unavailable however; he has still not fully recovered from a foot injury suffered in the goalless draw against Hull City at the end of January.

After nearly 15 weeks in sixth place, Manchester United and Jose Mourinho must now be getting a bit bored of looking up at their rivals. Arch-rivals Liverpool start the day a point ahead of them in fifth place and should United take all three points against Watford this afternoon, they will – temporarily at least – leapfrog Jurgen Klopp's side, who are in action against second place Tottenham later this evening.

Just five points separate Spurs, United and everyone in between. Mourinho cannot afford another slip-up, having just put three consecutive draws behind him with that thumping win over Leicester City last weekend.

But it was against today's opposition where Mourinho was well and truly rocked for the first time as United manager, humbled 3-1 at Vicarage Road in September – Watford's first-ever Premier League points against the 20-time champions.

Walter Mazzarri's side put a run of just one win in 10 Premier League games behind them with that superb win over Arsenal on 31 January, following it up with another victory over Burnley last time out. Those wins were enough to temper any lingering concerns over a relegation battle with the club now sat comfortably in 10th place.

United are on their longest unbeaten run since the heady days of Sir Alex Ferguson's reign, but draws aren't really good enough for them at this stage of the season, particularly at Old Trafford where they have dropped 15 points this season.

The game at Old Trafford will be the focus of our attention this afternoon but we will also have live coverage of the other five 3pm kick-offs. Team news from all of those games is on the way.
