Premier League scores [3pm kick-offs]:
Leicester City 1-1 Bournemouth
Southampton 0-0 Stoke City
Swansea City 4-1 West Ham United
Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Huddersfield Town
Watford 1-0 West Bromwich Albion
Looks like a bad one for Winston Reid at the Liberty Stadium. The New Zealand captain has been down for some time after he twisted his knee during a goalmouth scramble. Nearly 10 minutes he has been down.
Winston Reid been down five mins here now. Looks a really worrying injury inflicted during goalmouth scramble

Probably not in a position to take up this offer, but my refereeing qualification would have come in use.
These are troubled times for referees. Fourth official Kevin Friend has stepped in for the injured (during warm-up) Mike Jones at Wembley; qualified refs present in the crowd have been asked over the tannoy to make themselves known

Kevin Friend has been forced to take over as referee at Wembley this afternoon, meaning we currently have no fourth official. An announcement has gone around the stadium to ask for any officials to make themselves known to a steward.
Who is going to tell us how much added time there is?

Not a good omen for the Baggies.
West Bromâs last win at Watford came in a Championship game in November 2007.

Watford and West Brom bookend the bottom half and time is running out for the Baggies to save themselves from a relegation which looks inevitable.
Alan Pardew's side lost at home to Huddersfield last weekend and they could be 10 points from safety is results go against them again this afternoon.
Hornets fans will be in good spirits after helping their team stage today's game and after last weekend's smash-and-grab win over Everton they will be eyeing a top half lace.
Of the battles near the bottom today, perhaps the most important comes at the Liberty Stadium where FA Cup quarter-finalists Swansea host West Ham.
Carlos Carvalhal has very much been the right-man at the right-time for Swansea and they have won their last three in a row at home.
West Ham have lost their last two on the road but their improvement under David Moyes has been striking and a win today would move them onto the brink of the top half.

A late goal at Turf Moor and is it a winner for Burnley?
Chris Wood came on at half time and he delivers with a header from close range to put the Clarets ahead for the first time.
Sean Dyche's side have never come from behind to win in the Premier League. Can they buck that trend against Everton today?

Our focus this afternoon is on matters at Wembley where Tottenham host Huddersfield.
The teams should be with us in around 10 minutes, but how might both sides line up this afternoon?
Harry Kane, Hugo Lloris and Christian Eriksen were rested in mid-week against Rochdale and will all return, while Jan Vertonghen should be reinstated in defence.
Huddersfield have Philip Billing and Chris Lowe available again but the match comes too soon for knee injury victims Aaron Moy and Elias Kachunga.
With lots of games off in the Football League, a big shout out has to go to those people who have held keep games on up and down the country.
As things stand all of this weekend's Premier League games are scheduled to go ahead, with a handful in the Championship and League's One and Two having also seen off the snow and freezing conditions which have dominated the last week.
These stewards are among those at Wembley helping to ensure the game goes off without a hitch.

The Premier League action is already under way this afternoon, with Burnley hosting Everton at Turf Moor in the lunchtime kick-off.
The second half has just begun, with the visitors leading 1-0 at the break. Cenk Tosun headed home his first Toffees goal, but the Clarets have forced Jordan Pickford in several full-length saves in search of an equaliser.
I'll keep you updated with all the action in the second half as it happens.
The first bit of news this afternoon comes from Vicarage Road where Watford vs West Brom is ON.
Fans were urged to assemble at the ground to help clear the snow on the pitch and the surrounding areas, and that has proved enough to ensure the game goes ahead.
Those who turned up from 8:30am this morning were fuelled with tea, coffee and bacon sandwiches, and rewarded with a ticket to today's game. What a club.

After a week dominated by snow and freezing conditions, hopefully we can get back to talking about anything but the weather. And with any lucky today's Premier League action, headlined by Tottenham against Huddersfield, can provide us with some interesting talking points.
There are five games at 3pm to distract us from the events outside our doors and window, with the bottom of the table the main source of interest. All of the bottom three are in action and if results go there way the fabric of the battle to avoid relegation may change significantly.
Our attention will be back on events at Wembley where Tottenham could go third if they beat a Huddersfield side who have won their last two to pull three points away from the bottom three. But any more slip ups and they'll duly be hauled right back in.
All the team news and build-up ahead of the games on the way.
