Player to watch…
Mohamed Salah: The Egyptian was once again the match-winner last week at Brighton, winning and scoring the penalty which secured three important points. Currently joint top-scorer in the Premier League on 14 goals alongside Harry Kane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Salah is at times being deployed as a central striker, a role he is thriving in as Liverpool look to stay clear of Manchester City.

Prediction:
Liverpool to win 3-0
GOAL! Newcastle 1-0 Cardiff (Fabian Schar, 24 minutes)
First goal of the afternoon, and Newcastle lead!
Fabian Schar is a centre-back with considerable footballing ability, and he moves into the box nicely before firing past Neil Etheridge into the bottom corner.
PENALTY TO MANCHESTER UNITED! Paul Pogba is fouled. Manchester United 0-0 Brighton, 25 minutes.
Gaetan Bong brings down Paul Pogba, who perhaps goes down a little easily, and the referee points to the spot.

Paul Pogba is back on his feet to convert the penalty with his trademark elongated run-up.

Joel Matip has looked the likeliest scorer at Anfield so far, again rising highest but directing his header wide from a corner.
Manchester United 1-0 Brighton, 31 minutes
Twice Brighton crosses fly into the Manchester United area but on neither occasion can a player find the telling touch.
Strong response from the visitors.
GOAL! Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace (Andros Townsend, 34 minutes)

Wilfried Zaha works his way forward after an excellent counter-attack, beating his man and cutting back to Andros Townsend who drives past Alisson.
Manchester United 1-0 Brighton, 35 minutes
Chances at both ends!
Anthony Martian's deft chip is well denied by David Button after running in behind, whilst at the other end Glenn Murray latches on to Solly March's cross and volleys wide.
Paul Pogba converts from the penalty spot to give Manchester United the lead against Brighton.

Mamadou Sakho is none-too-pleased as Mohamed Salah hurls himself to the floor attempting to win a penalty.
GOAL! Manchester United 2-0 Brighton (Marcus Rashford, 42 minutes)
