Fulham will be looking to move off the bottom of the table when they travel to the north east to take on Newcastle.

Claudio Ranieri's first game in charge against Southampton remains his sole victory as Fulham manager since replacing Slavisa Jokanovic in mid-November, and the Italian saw his side put in a dismal home display in a 2-0 loss to West Ham last weekend.

Meanwhile, Newcastle's win at Huddersfield was just their fourth victory of the season, but put Rafael Benitez's side four points clear of the relegation zone.

What time does it start?

Newcastle vs Fulham kicks off at 3pm (GMT)

Player to watch…

Salomon Rondon: The Venezuelan needed just one chance to settle the game at Huddersfield, taking his top-flight tally to four for the season. The goals have been invaluable to Benitez's side, and his latest was the reward for the hard work chasing down lost causes for much of the game. If Newcastle are to go further clear of the drop zone, they will need the ex-Malaga forward to add to that number over the festive period.

Burnley have never taken a point off of Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium...

The players are on the pitch, and kick off is imminent.

[22 December 2018 12:30 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang combine on the centre spot and the game is underway.

1 minute

Arsenal start with a four across the defence. There was some chatter that Mohamed Elneny may have started at centre-back, but the Egyptian is alongside Matteo Guendouzi and Grait Xhaka in midfield.

2 minutes

Chances at both ends!

Joe Hart is forced into an outstanding save low to his right as Ainsley Maitland-Niles finds space down the right, while James Tarkowski does well to react quickly and clear with Arsenal players ready to turn the rebound home.

Burnley break and Ashley Westwood is freed by Ashley Barnes breaking through the middle, but the midfielder's finish is scuffed somewhat, flicking off Bernd Leno and earning Burnley an early corner.

4 minutes

A quick start to this game. Chris Wood is left alone by the Arsenal defence (believing him to be offside) and the home side are fortunate that Wood has to come back to the ball and thus unable to run away from them.

[22 December 2018 12:37 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

6 minutes

Mohamed Elneny miscontrols towards his own goal, allowing Jack Cork to nip in and surge beyond Elneny.

Cork rather wastes a good opportunity to force a chance, turning down both the shot and the pass and running himself into a group of Arsenal defenders, and Elneny eventually works back to dispossess him.

[22 December 2018 12:38 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

7 minutes

Granit Xhaka fires in a low curler from about 30 yards out, but the curl takes it safely into Joe Hart's midriff and the goalkeeper gathers.

[22 December 2018 12:39 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

8 minutes

Alexandre Lacazette does well to find space on the left and the cross comes across to the far post.

Mohamed Elneny leaps highest and heads powerfully towards the far corner, but there are enough Burnley bodies there to block and scramble the ball away after a couple of ricochets.

Both side with early chances, but it remains 0-0.

[22 December 2018 12:41 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

10 minutes

Burnley settle things down for the first time in this game's rather hectic infancy, showing competency in stroking the ball between midfield and defence.

[22 December 2018 12:43 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

12 minutes

A loose ball bounces kindly for Burnley but Chris Wood's volleyed pass for Jack Cork (once again charging forward from midfield) is overhit.

A shame for the visitors - Cork was free and a better weighted pass would have offered him an excellent opportunity.
