Full time across the country in the Premier League where there has been a real goal glut in the second half.
Hull City are the big story of the day after they came from behind to beat Bournemouth. Abel Hernandez scored twice for the Tigers in Marco Silva's first Premier League game in charge.
Arsenal go fourth after scoring four to beat Swansea in Paul Clement's first top flight game in charge.
Sunderland remain in the mire after Stoke struck three times in the first half to beat the Black Cats.
Joey Barton marked his return to Burnley with a winning goal to beat Sunderland, while Watford were unable to beat Middlesbrough on the day they said goodbye to former manager Graham Taylor.
Finally, West Ham survived a strike by Dimitri Payet by overcoming Crystal Palace. Andy Carroll netted a goal of the season contender in a 3-0 win.
Half time across the country in the Premier League. Arsenal lead Swansea through Olivier Giroud while Hull and Bournemouth are level at 1-1.
The big story of the day is coming out of the Stadium of Light however, with Stoke having stormed into a 3-0 lead. Jermain Defoe has pulled one back, in front of those home fans that have decided to stay, but you can't help but feel time is running out for manager David Moyes.
Big day for West Ham who welcome their former manager Sam Allardyce to the London Stadium for the first time. The week has been dominated by the future of Dimitri Payet, who has gone on strike and is reusing to play for the club. Slaven Bilic will not sell him but it leaves the Hammers with a divisive player in their battle to avoid relegation. Victory over fellow strugglers Palace would really rejuvenate their season.
Full time at White Hart Lane where Tottenham have beaten West Brom 4-0. You can catch up on all the action here, where Harry Kane has scored a hat-trick. But now, time to look ahead to the 3pm kick-offs.
Paul Clement makes four changes for his first Premier League game as a manager. Modou Barrow and Jefferson Montero miss out, while Narsingh is nursing a calf problem.
Mesut Ozil does return for Arsenal with Olivier Giroud retained in attack. Koscielny and Mustafi partners at the centre of the defence.
Today is a major one for all associated with Watford, with the club saying goodbye to legendary manager Graham Taylor after he passed away on Thursday. The club have a number of tributes planned throughout the day, while a minute's applause is being held at grounds across the country to remember the former England boss.
Teams news from around the grounds due in in around 30 minutes, but how might both sides line up in our featured game between Swansea and Arsenal?
Neil Taylor is missing for Swansea due to a fractured cheekbone, while new signing Luciano Narsingh is out with calf injury.
Arsenal have Mesut Ozil back, while Petr Cech and Alexis Sanchez are among those in line for a recall. Theo walcott is one of seven players out injured.
The future of Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez remains the main topic of interest for Arsenal, but they must put those concerns behind them and concentrate on taking on a Swansea side who have proven a tough nut to crack in recent years.
But away from matters on the pitch, the day promises to be dominated by the tributes being paid to Graham Taylor, the former England manage, who died on Thursday. Former club Watford, who he took from the depths of the football league to the summit of the top flight, are planning a host of tributes while a minute's silence will take place before every game in England this weekend.
All the build-up and team news ahead of our six 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League on the way.
