Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Watford: Barclays Premier League as it happened

That is it from us for now, but there is still one more Premier League fixture to come today as West Ham travel to face Southampton at St Mary's.

We will be back tomorrow to bring you more live coverage as Bournemouth face Arsenal and Chelsea host Manchester United. Until then, goodbye.

Full-time

Tottenham 1-0 Watford

Aston Villa 2-0 Norwich

Liverpool 2-2 Sunderland

Newcastle 1-0 West Brom

Stoke 0-3 Everton

Swansea 1-1 Crystal Palace

No such late drama at Tottenham, where Pochettino's in-form side cruise to a comfortable victory that sees them overtake Manchester City for second place in the Premier League.

Forget what we said about Klopp raising a smile, his side have blown a 2-0 lead in the dying minutes against a team struggling for Premier League survival.

Defoe is the man who has scored, rifling past Mignolet after good link-up play between Patrick van Aanholt and new signing Wahbi Khazri.

Goal: Liverpool 2-2 Sunderland (Jermain Defoe)

An overhead kick from Ighalo travels harmlessly wide as four minutes of stoppage time are signalled at White Hart Lane.

With Jose Manuel Jurado down receiving treatment for a bloodied nose, Tottenham make a final change. Tom Carroll on for Eriksen.

With crowd numbers having reduced dramatically, Sunderland take advantage of the lull as Johnson's free-kick beats Mignolet at his near post.

Can Sam Allardyce's relegation candidates find a late equaliser?

Goal: Liverpool 2-1 Sunderland (Adam Johnson)

Half-chances for both sides as Eriksen, shooting from the tightest of angles, forces a good low save from Gomes and Alli is close to collecting the rebound.

At the other end, Watford launch a rare foray forward as Deeney unselfishly releases Odion Ighalo. His effort is deflected behind and Ben Watson's corner comes to nothing.

77 minutes on the clock at Anfield and scores of disgruntled Liverpool fans retreat to the concourse to protest against ticket prices.

Pochettino has sent on Son in place of Lamela and the South Korean caps off an impressive attacking move by unleashing a shot that is parried wide by Gomes at his near post.

The absent Klopp has not had much to smile about in recent days, with that 2-0 defeat at the hands of Leicester followed by a bout of expected appendicitis and two more injuries suffered by Lovren and Allen in this game.

He can be forgiven a small grin now though as Lallana doubles Liverpool's advantage over Sunderland with a close-range finish following more strong work from the persistent Firmino.

Goal: Liverpool 2-0 Sunderland (Adam Lallana)

Everton could be 4-0 up at Stoke, but Lukaku's latest effort has been pushed on to the crossbar by Butland.

Calls for Roger East to produce a second yellow card for Watford's Capoue go unheeded following a late collision with goalscorer Trippier.

On Merseyside, injury-hit Liverpool finally break the deadlock against Sunderland courtesy of Firmino's header from a deep James Milner cross. That is the Brazilian's fifth goal in his last six appearances for the club.

Tottenham finally make their dominance pay as Dembele makes good progress down Watford's right-hand side before holding the ball up nicely for Alli.

The substitute then quickly darts towards the byline before producing a fantastic low cross with the outside of his boot that just evades the dive of Gomes before being bundled home by Trippier at the back post.

Goal: Tottenham 1-0 Watford (Kieran Trippier)

Goal: Liverpool 1-0 Sunderland (Roberto Firmino)

Ex-Tottenham midfielder Etienne Capoue, who left Spurs for Watford in a then club-record £6m deal in July 2015, is cautioned for a foul on Trippier.

Pochettino then replaces Chadli with Alli, who was initially a doubt for this match due to illness.

Those half-time changes from Flores certainly have not helped to reduce Tottenham's dominance.

Trippier has provided what seems like an endless stream of crosses from that right-hand flank and another penalty appeal goes up after Prodl falls into Kane as the England striker looks to direct a header on target. Denied.

Remi Garde's rock-bottom Villa look set for just their third top-flight win of the season as Agbonlahor beats Declan Rudd after being teed up by Jordan Veretout.

Goal: Aston Villa 2-0 Norwich (Gabriel Agbonlahor)

A really nervy moment for the otherwise impressive Gomes as he clumsily charges into the back of Kane. Tottenham supporters scream for a penalty, but again they are denied.

Britos, who seems to be suffering from a dead leg, is not going to be able to continue after all following that clash with Chadli and Prodl jogs on. Watford have now used all three of their substitutes with 35 minutes of this second half remaining.

Palace have begun the second half in impressive fashion and get their reward as Dann finishes Yohan Cabaye's corner after a crucial knockdown from Damien Delaney.

Goal: Swansea 1-1 Crystal Palace (Scott Dann)

A painful blow for Britos as he is accidentally caught with a swinging boot from Chadli. The Uruguayan defender needs treatment but it looks like he will be fine to come back on.

Two changes at the break for Watford, with Quique Sanchez Flores introducing Deeney and Behrami in place of Suarez and Abdi. Looks like a system change from the visitors as they seek to relieve the overwhelming pressure on their back four.

Half-time

Tottenham 0-0 Watford

Aston Villa 1-0 Norwich

Liverpool 0-0 Sunderland

Newcastle 1-0 West Brom

Stoke 0-3 Everton

Swansea 1-0 Crystal Palace

One minute of added time at White Hart Lane after Trippier receives treatment. Liverpool's injury curse continues unabated, meanwhile, as Joe Allen limps off before half-time.

Jordon Ibe is on.

Embarrassment for Stoke as Lennon capitalises on a rogue pass to surely seal all three points for Everton before half-time.

At Villa Park, the hosts take a very rare lead as centre-back Lescott rises highest to head home Carles Gil's cross at the back post.

Goal: Aston Villa 1-0 Norwich (Joleon Lescott)

Goal: Stoke 0-3 Everton (Aaron Lennon)

Tottenham are really continuing to pile heavy pressure on Watford, with Chadli releasing Davies and the latter's deflected shot then pushed behind by Gomes.

Lamela has an effort of his own before Eric Dier's excellent deep cross is volleyed well over by Kane from close range.

No out-ball for the visitors at all at the moment, who will surely find themselves 1-0 down before too long.

Just moments after Tiote is denied the opening goal, Newcastle take the lead at St James' Park as Jonjo Shelvey's cute through ball is calmly dispatched by Mitrovic.

Goal: Newcastle 1-0 West Brom (Aleksandar Mitrovic)

Two excellent chances for Davies as the Tottenham left-back sees a shot deflected behind by Nyom before a smart low stop from Gomes denies him after a fine one-two with Chadli.

Chadli then heads over from Lamela's free-kick before Abdi tries to lob Hugo Lloris from distance but only finds the roof of the net.

28 minutes gone at the Britannia Stadium and Roberto Martinez's Everton have doubled their advantage as Coleman glances Cleverley's corner beyond Butland.

Newcastle's clash with West Brom remains a 0-0 after Cheick Tiote has an effort ruled out for offside.

Goal: Stoke 0-2 Everton (Seamus Coleman)

It remains goalless at Anfield, where Liverpool are without manager Jurgen Klopp for the visit of lowly Sunderland as the German is suffering from a case of appendicitis.

To make matters worse, centre-back Dejan Lovren, who only recently returned to action after a hamstring injury, has been replaced by Kolo Toure early on.

Positive play from Trippier to create space down the right and deliver a dangerous cross towards Lamela and Chadli, but the ball eventually deflects wide off the head of Nyom.

Tottenham have had a flurry of early corners, with the latest leading to a smashed effort from Dembele that flies well wide.

Still not much to report from White Hart Lane, where Tottenham are pressing hard to find the opener.

Watford are evidently hoping to exploit their opponents on the counter, but opportunities to do so have been few and far between thus far.

Crystal Palace have lost all of their last five Premier League matches and things have not started much better in south Wales, where Sigurdsson is felled and the Icelandic international dusts himself down to bend a brilliant 20-yard free-kick around the wall and beyond Wayne Hennessey.

Goal: Swansea 1-0 Crystal Palace (Gylfi Sigurdsson)

The first goal of the mid-afternoon Premier League kick-offs comes at the Britannia Stadium, where Stoke concede a penalty after Jack Butland brings down Tom Cleverley.

Up steps Lukaku to notch his 20th of the season in all competitions from the spot.

Goal: Stoke 0-1 Everton (Romelu Lukaku)

Toby Alderweireld looks to release Harry Kane with a lofted ball down the right channel but Kane's tame effort from a difficult angle is easily held by Gomes.

A few Tottenham players appeal for a penalty for an alleged shirt pull from Nathan Ake, but referee Roger East is unmoved.

It's been a relatively quiet opening between Tottenham and Watford, with former Spurs goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes alert to clear a corner.

Mousa Dembele then wins a free-kick in a promising central position but Christian Eriksen's 25-yard effort is driven straight into the wall.

We are underway in north London and indeed across the rest of the 15.00 GMT Premier League fixtures.

Can anything match that amazing Leicester result?

Just moments away from kick-off at White Hart Lane. Following Leicester's stunning 3-1 win over Manchester City, Tottenham can now overtake Manuel Pellegrini's side with a win this afternoon and move within five points of the summit.

Watford, meanwhile, show five alterations from Wednesday's goalless draw against Chelsea at Vicarage Road.

Sebastian Prodl, Jose Holebas, Valon Behrami and club captain Troy Deeney all drop to the bench, with Miguel Britos, the previously ineligible Nathan Ake, Mario Suarez and Almen Abdi coming in.

Juan Carlos Paredes, who was at the centre of a row with Diego Costa last time out, is replaced by Allan Nyom.

Four changes from Mauricio Pochettino to the side that cruised to victory at Norwich as Tottenham search for a fourth consecutive win that will help cement their status as genuine title contenders.

Right-back Kieran Trippier is in for Kyle Walker, while Ben Davies replaces Danny Rose on the opposite side. Dele Alli is only fit enough for the bench after being withdrawn at half-time in midweek due to illness and Heung Min-Son also drops out. Nacer Chadli and Erik Lamela both start.

Ryan Mason passes a late fitness test and returns to the matchday squad after more than two months out with an ankle injury.

Watford: Gomes, Nyom, Britos, Cathcart, Ake, Suarez, Watson, Capoue, Jurado, Abdi, Ighalo

Substitutes: Pantilimon, Prodl, Holebas, Behrami, Anya, Amrabat, Deeney

Tottenham: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Davies, Dembele, Dier, Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela, Kane

Substitutes: Vorm, Rose, Walker, Alli, Carroll, Mason, Son
