Premier League weekend round-up: Liverpool extend lead at top in final games of 2018

Crystal Palace's late show earned a deserved 2-0 win at Wolves.

Jordan Ayew and Luka Milivojevic, from the penalty spot, scored in the final seven minutes to ease Palace's goal woes.

The Eagles' loan pursuit of Liverpool's Dominic Solanke looks over with doubts over his fitness while Wilfried Zaha stretched his goal drought to 14 games.

Wolves are chasing Chelsea's Tammy Abraham, currently on loan at Aston Villa, and both teams showed why they needed fresh firepower in a forgettable game. Re-live the action below:

What time does it start?

Wolves vs Crystal Palace kicks off at 7:45pm (GMT)

Independent Sport will make sure to keep you up to date on all the action via our live blog.

Player to watch

Wilfried Zaha: As one of the best dribblers in the league, Zaha is an absolute nightmare for any defender and is a vital aspect of Hodgson’s team. Despite the result, he looked bright against Chelsea last weekend and made a number of powerful runs and if he’s on his game this evening, he could definitely help his side leave with something.

Form guide

Wolves: WDLWWW

Crystal Palace: LDWWLL

Odds

Wolves to win: 21/20

Palace to win: 16/5

Draw: 11/5

Prediction

Wolves 1-1 Crystal Palace: Wolves have been brilliant all season against the top six sides but have let themselves down at times against the lower teams. Nevertheless, they sit in a great position just six points off Manchester United. Palace are a threat though when they’re on their game which I think they might be, I’m going for a draw

Worrying scenes at St James' Park. Half-and-half kits?

Still no goal action to report from elsewhere. Perhaps the Premier League teams are still running off their New Year revelry.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 9 minutes

Quick feet from Anthony Martial earn Manchester United a free kick wide on the left.

Marcus Rashford surprises by taking aim at Martin Dubravka's goal, and hits it nicely, but Dubravka is relatively comfortable as he dives to his right and beats the dipping effort away.

​Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 10 minutes

Physical stuff from Jamaal Lascelles, moving across and leaning his shoulder into Marcus Rashford, sending the striker sprawling to the St James' Park turf.

A fair enough challenge according to referee Andre Marriner.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 11 minutes

Rashford and Lascelles meet again and once more it is the striker left on the deck. Again, Lascelles' challenge is perfectly legal and Rashford will run off a very minor knock without receiving treatment.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 12 minutes

An aerial ball is brought down delightfully by Christian Atsu, killing it and moving past Ander Herrera in one motion.

The Ghanaian tries to find the bottom corner with his left foot but David De Gea is wise to the threat, smothering Attu's tame effort.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 14 minutes

Phil Jones is struggling in possession early on, and loses the ball poorly, inadvertently stabbing the ball back to Salomon Rondon.

Rondon is unsure if he is onside, allowing Jones to get back and make an excellent sliding intervention.

At the other end, Anthony Martial ruffles the side netting cutting in onto his right foot.

GOAL! Bournemouth 0-1 Watford (Troy Deeney, 14 minutes)

Watford lead!

Abdoulaye Doucoure does well to find Ken Sema, and the Swede finds a cross for Troy Deeney to head into the bottom corner.

Newcastle 0-0 Manchester United, 18 minutes

Christian Atsu gets in again, this time latching on to a magnificent raking pass from Ayoze Perez.

Atsu again takes the shot on with his left boot, but scuffs it rather, taking it across goal rather than towards it, and there are no players in support to capitalise at the far post.

Bright start from the hosts, but they need to take one of these chances.

GOAL! Huddersfield 1-0 Burnley (Steve Mounie, 33 minutes)

Another headed goal, this time from Steve Mounie.

The credit for this goal will go to Isaac Mbenza, however. The Belgian winger produces a gorgeous cross to leave Mounie with the simplest of nods home past Tom Heaton.

Huge goal for the Terriers.
