- Peter Crouch scores 100th Premier League goal as Stoke draw with Everton

Premier League fixtures [7:45pm kick-off unless otherwise stated]:
FT Manchester United 0-0 Hull City [8pm]
FT Stoke City 1-1 Everton [8pm]
FT West Ham United 0-4 Manchester City
Full time: Manchester United 0-0 Hull City
Despite the succession of late chances Hull get their point which takes them off the bottom of the Premier League. United huffed and puffed and only rarely threatened to claim the win. Eldin Jakupovic is the hero for Marco Silva's side, who is performing miracles.
Blimey. If you think the Emirates crowd is bad for leaving early... There can barely be 10,000 people left. West Ham fans not happy.

Very worrying if true, from the London Stadium. The toxic atmosphere returns.
Hard to quantify this but to the naked eye it looks as though quite a few West Ham fans haven't come back for the second half.

Interesting theory, but surely this is unthinkable if you're a City fan?
Wonder if this is beginning of the end for Aguero at City. Jesus is a dribbler, a battler and always looks for a pass - Guardiola catnip.

Half time: Manchester United 0-0 Hull - Stoke 1-1 Everton
A total stalemate at Old Trafford where Hull are frustrating the hosts, in similar fashion to how they ran them close in the EFL Cup.
Meanwhile, Stoke had taken the lead through Peter Crouch's 100th Premier League goal but Seamus Coleman's deflected strike has drawn Everton level.
And, we're back underway at the London Stadium.
Crouch becomes the 26th player to reach the landmark.

GOAL! West Ham 0-1 Manchester City (Kevin de Bruyne)
The opening goal of the night comes for Pep Guardiola's side, who net their sixth goal without reply against a powerless West Ham. De Bruyne picks the ball up on the halfway line after the hosts lose their way and after receiving the ball back from Jesus he slides into the net from 15 yards.
The plot thickens.
Martial. Face like thunder...

Which Manchester City will turn up this evening? They swept aside West Ham in the cup a few weeks ago, but they have been prone to failure at times this season. The Hammers are in good spirits and a London Stadium, which has possessed a toxic atmosphere at times this season, is now starting to work as a asset.
First kick-off of the evening on the way.

Concerns certainly growing over the future of Anthony Martial
Martial named among Man Utd subs but so far hasn't emerged to warm up with the rest of them #MUFC @MirrorFootball

At Old Trafford, United take on Hull for the third time four weeks after the pair's clash in the EFL Cup semi-finals. Jose Mourinho's side prevailed 3-2 on aggregate, but were pushed all the way in the first leg before being defeated in the second at the KCOM Stadium last Thursday. Marco Silva's side were dumped out of the FA Cup over the weekend, but have won all three of their home games under his tutelage.
Finally, here are the teams from the Britannia Stadium [Bet365 Stadium].

Nine changes for Manchester United from the win over Wigan, with only Marcos Rojo and Henrikh Mkhitaryan remaining in the team. Looks like Jose Mourinho has gone nearly full strength. Eric Bailly misses out altogether.
Hull make four changes from the loss at Fulham. Michael Dawson, Oumar Niasse, Harry Maguire and Josh Tymon come in for Marco Silva's men.
Teams news in ahead of the 8pm kick-off.

To Old Trafford, where Manchester United are expected to recall Eric Bailly after he returned from the Africa Cup of Nations. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Antonio Valencia are also set to feature.
Hull could hand a debut to deadline day signing Andrea Ranocchia but are without a host of players through injury including Alex Bruce, Markus Henriksen, Will Keane, Ryan Mason and Moses Odubajo.
And now Manchester City. Some big news from them.

West Ham team has dropped. Just one change from Slaven Bilic, but a big one nonetheless.
TEAM NEWS!

The early news from the London Stadium is that Manchester City are yet to arrive ahead of the 7:45pm kick-off. Manchester United had problems getting to Upton Park last season, and it appears their near-neighbours are encountering similar issues.

After all of the top four failed to win on Tuesday, it is the turn of the Manchester giants to put pressure on the Champions League places. Manchester United host a familiar opponent in EFL Cup rivals Hull City, while Manchester City travel to West Ham United where they won 5-0 in the FA Cup earlier in the season.
Elsewhere, perennial mid-table sides Stoke and Everton face-off looking to breach the gap to the top six. The Toffees have not lost in the league this year, while Stoke can go ninth tonight if they prevail.
All the team news, updates and build-up ahead of tonight's games on the way.
