Player to watch

Solly March: The 24-year-old, who came through the youth system at Brighton, has started in 14 out of 15 Premier League games so far this season, and has been a very effective outlet on the right-wing for Chris Hughton’s side. With five assists to his name, March will be looking to score his first goal of the season against a Burnley side struggling for form and leaking goals.

Good morning and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's 3pm Premier League games, with a busy day of action featuring five afternoon matches as part of an eight-game programme.

Once Bournemouth vs Liverpool has wrapped up in the day's early match - which you can follow live here - the action moves north as Arsenal host Huddersfield at the Emirates looking to record a 21st consecutive unbeaten result. Manchester United are also in action at 3pm as they welcome Claudio Ranieri's Fulham to Old Trafford, with Jose Mourinho's side in desperate need of a win after four league games without victory.

Burnley will look to try and climb out of the relegation zone as they face Brighton at Turf Moor, while Cardiff will take on a Southampton side being guided by new manager Ralph Hasenhuttl for the first time. Finally, West Ham and Crystal Palace collide in a derby at the London Stadium, before the day's late games take centre stage.

At 5:30pm, we head to Stamford Bridge for the big game of the day as Chelsea face Premier League leaders Manchester City, while the night-time kick-off between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur gets underway at 7:45pm.

Got all of that?

Good, good.

Let's pick out a few bits of key news.

Laurent Koscielny is back in the Arsenal squad as they seek a 21st consecutive game unbeaten...

Ralph Hasenhuttl has picked his first team since taking charge of Southampton on Thursday, with Oriol Romeu and Jan Bednarek earning opportunities from the start. The two were rather cast aside lately under predecessor Mark Hughes, but Hasenhuttl has trusted them to do the job in what could be a huge game at the bottom against Cardiff.

[8 December 2018 14:44 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

No Paul Pogba yet again for Manchester United, though Romelu Lukaku does return to the starting eleven. It seems Jose Mourinho has ditched the three-at-the-back he played both last weekend and against Arsenal in midweek.
