Saturday clockwatch

Hello! We’ll have news from six three o’clock kick-offs in the top flight this afternoon, with each and every one of them difficult to call. While Liverpool’s trip to Nottingham Forest might look a fairly straightforward task for the table-toppers, Jurgen Klopp’s side have plenty of injury issues travelling to a ground where they lost in the corresponding fixture last season.

Newcastle United are not playing anywhere near their best but have home advantage against a Wolves side looking for their fourth consecutive win in all competitions. At White Hart Lane, Spurs host a Crystal Palace team looking for their second win on the spin under new management.

Elsewhere in London, Brentford host Chelsea in a west London derby that could go either way, while Fulham’s game against Brighton features two wildly unpredictable teams who are capable of beating anyone on a good day.

And finally, Everton will be hoping to secure their first win in nine league games when they entertain a West Ham side who returned to form with an impressive win over Brentford following three consecutive defeats.

We’ll bring you news of all the goals as they go in, flag up any other major talking points and keep an ear to the ground for any other news that’s fit to print from outside the top flight.
