Full time in each of our five 3pm kick-offs. Some thrilling games, not least at Goodison Park where Stoke have won a seven-goal thriller via Marko Arnautovic's late penalty. Tottenham go third at least temporarily with a 2-1 win over Watford by Crystal Palace miss the chance to close the gap as they draw with Swansea. West Brom beat Newcastle and Norwich overcome doomed Aston Villa. Well that is all we have time for on this live blog, but changes channels to follow the 5:30pm games, including Manchester United vs Chelsea.

Goal: Everton 3-4 Stoke (Marko Arnautovic)

Goal: Watford 1-2 Tottenham (Son Heung-min)

Watford think they have a winner as Deeney's header is somehow kept out by Lloris and Tottenham go down the other end and grab a last gasp goal. Son is somehow not given offside when Gomes punches the ball away and when the cross comes back to the South Korea forward who flicks the ball home.

Goal: Norwich 2-0 Aston Villa (Dieumerci Mbokani)

Will we get a winner at Vicarage Road? Tottenham have barely had a glimpse of Heurelho Gomes' goal since Watford went down to ten men and it looks as though the hosts will get a point here.

Goal: Everton 3-3 Stoke (Joselu)

Goal: West Brom 1-0 Newcastle (Darren Fletcher)

Goal: Everton 3-2 Stoke (Gerard Delofeu)

Goal: Everton 2-2 Stoke (Romelu Lukaku)

Tom Cleverley plays a delightful crossfield pass, finds Lukaku who brings the ball down and lashes it home for his 11th goal in 10 games.

Red card: Nathan Ake (Watford)

Ake goes in high on Erik Lamela and catches the Tottenham winger and referee Anthony Taylor has no choice but to show a red card.

Paul Dummett hits the bar for Newcastle at West Brom. Thrilling game with plenty of chances, but no goals as yet at The Hawthorns.

Bit of handbags at Vicarage Road as both sets of play bump chests after Britos goes through Trippier. Harry Kane and Troy Deeney race over to fight their corner and it ends with a booking for the latter. Something and nothing.

Tottenham should be back in front at Vicarage Road. Lamela goes clean through but he tries to lob Gomes but he scoops the ball high over the bar. Real waste.

Lots of debate already over whether Xherdan Shaqiri did indeed mean the effort which re-established Stoke's lead at Goodison Park. With Arnautovic free in the middle it looks very much like a miss-played cross. Fancy that debate will run and run.

Back under way at Vicarage Road and throughout the rest of the country. No changes at Watford.

Half time in each of the five 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League. Each bathed in entertainment one way or another, apart from at Selhurst Park where Crystal Palace are being held by Swansea City.

Goal: Everton 1-2 Stoke (Xherdan Shaqiri)

The debate will rage whether the Austrian meant this one. Bojan floats a crossfield pass to Shaqiri who takes the ball on first time and it drops in beyond Tim Howard. Did he try to find Marko Arnautovic in the middle? Only he knows but it is a brilliant goal which has Stoke ahead at half time.

Mousa Dembele was an injury doubt before the game and he doesn't last until half time as Christian Eriksen comes off the bench. The interval is approaching.

Goal: Watford 1-1 Tottenham (Odion Ighalo)

Ighalo scores for a sixth game in a row, holding off Dier and wriggling away from Alderweireld before poking home beyond Hugo Lloris. Spurs won't be happy with the manner of that equaliser.

Not seen much of Harry Kane in the first half but he gets the chance to run at the Watford back-four, deciding to shoot fro 30 yards and the strike doesn't test Gomes.

It is testament to Tottenham's performance in this opening 30 minutes that Watford have been largely nullified so far. Odion Ighalo has been very quiet but one effort flew wide from eight yards.

Two changes of note in two separate games. at The Hawthorns, Cheick Tiote replaces Vurnon Anita for Newcastle while Everton lose the returning James McCarthy with their match-winner from St James' Park Tom Cleverley coming on.

Goal: Norwich 1-0 Aston Villa (Jonny Howson)

Things get worse for the Premier League's bottom club. Bacuna head the ball clear as far as Howson who drives the ball home on the volley.

Goal: Everton 1-1 Stoke (Romelu Lukaku)

The Belgian's scoring streak ended at Newcastle but he is back on the horse straight away to draw Everton level. Thrilling start to the game at Goodison Park.

Goal: Watford 0-1 Tottenham (Erik Lamela)

Craig Cathcart loses the ball on the halfway line and he is punished by Tottenham. Dele Alli feeds Erik Lamela who goes through and wrongfoots Gomes with a calm finish.

Goal: Everton 0-1 Stoke (Xherdan Shaqiri)

Etienne Capoue also playing against his former club today and his first attempts to make an impression go badly. Two shots in as many minutes, the first balloons over before the second is dragged horribly wide.

Heurelho Gomes playing against his former side today and though he has had a good season his attempt to assert himself in this game almost goes array when he comes for an early corner but gets nowhere it. Now the Brazilian plays a lacklustre clearance which almost lets Tottenham in.

First update from Vicarage Road and it comes in the form of how Spurs have lined up, with Mauricio Pochettino starting with three at the back and four across the centre of midfield. An interesting move from the Argentine box. First moment of note has seen Dele Alli booked for a hard challenge on Troy Deeney.

A minute's applause taking place before the game at The Hawthorns in tribute to the passing of former player Don Howe. A similar tribute will be taking place at The Emirates Stadium.

Under way in our five Premier League 3pm kick-offs. Our focus is on events at Vicarage Road but we'll have news of all the goals as they go in.

The final Premier League games see two of the most inconsistent sides in the league meet at Goodison Park as Everton host Stoke City. Both sides have shown in dispatches they can threat the European places this season but require some consistency if they're to put pressure on those teams above. Today would be a good time to start.

Late change at The Hawthorns where Rob Elliot, who was superb against Everton, has fallen ill in the warm-up and is replace for Karl Darlow in the Newcastle goal. The 25-year-old makes his Premier League debut this afternoon. Another line from the game is West Brom manager Tony Pulis has confirmed Saido Berhaino was lucky to make the bench for today's game after his attitude this week.

It is a big day at the bottom of the Premier League too with four of the bottom five ion action at 3pm. Seventeenth hosts 20th in the Paul Lambert derby as Norwich take on Aston Villa while Newcastle travel to West Brom, who are only three points above the drop zone themselves. Swansea and the visitors to Crystal Palace meanwhile, who are among a throng of sides could finish the day in the Champions League places. Who would have thought it.

Spurs will go third with a win while Watford could jump to fifth if they prevail once again at home. Odion Ighalo and Harry Kane are among the most potent forwards in the Premier League this term. Everything points to a thriller, but this Premier League season has taunt us to ignore the form table.

Meanwhile, just outside Old Trafford:

So that is all of the teams for our 3pm kick-offs, plenty of rotation from all sides for a match which for many is their second in three days. How might that effect the quality of the games?
