Here's how the bottom of the Premier League looks as things stand:

[11 July 2020 12:27 · Callum Rice-Coates]

The players are out at the respective roads, Carrow and Vicarage. Almost time for kick off in the first two games of the day.

There'll be a minute of silence in memory of Jack Charlton at both stadiums.

Watford get things underway at Vicarage Road!

And Norwich have the ball rolling at Carrow Road, too.

2 min: Some early attacking intent from West Ham as Bowen surges down the right and breaks into the box. He takes a slightly heavy touch before he can get a shot off, though.

3 min: Saint-Maximin looks lively early on at Vicarage Road, whipping a dangerous ball across the face of goal. It misses everyone, but he's going to be a real threat for the visitors.

4 min: A decent chance for Soucek, who latches onto a mis-hit Antonio shot and almost squeezes the ball in from a tight angle. West Ham are on top early on.

8 min: Soucek is involved again at Carrow Road as Antonio drives down the left and pulls back towards the edge of the box. The Czech midfielder tries to place a low shot into the bottom corner but sends it just wide.

[11 July 2020 12:40 · Callum Rice-Coates]

9 min: At Carrow Road, Newcastle look the livelier of the two sides, though it's been a fairly scrappy start. There might be a degree of cautiousness from Watford today. A point would hardly be a disaster for them.
