Hello good afternoon, the week 27 fixtures of the English Premier League continue this afternoon with Manchester United taking on Newcastle United at 14: 15 pm (GMT).

There are three games to look forward to today but one is already done and dusted.
Newcastle have won two Premier League games since the start of November. They start the day in the relegation zone.

How Rafa Benitez could do with a win over his old rival Jose Mourinho to lift the mood at St James' Park.

Jose Mourinho has all but admitted the title race is over with Manchester City dominating this season, and United realistically have to win every game to stand any chance of catching their rivals.

However, Newcastle will likely provide a tough test today as the Magpies fight for Premier League survival, with only goal difference separating them from the relegation zone.

Elsewhere, Liverpool head to Southampton today knowing anything less than a win will hit their Premier League top four hopes.

Jurgen Klopp's side sit fourth as they head to St Mary's, with Tottenham's 1-0 north London derby win over Arsenal sending Mauricio Pochettino's men third in the table - and fifth-placed Chelsea are just a point behind Liverpool.

Here's your Premier League rundown for today
Huddersfield v Bournemouth (12:00 GMT)
Newcastle v Manchester United (14:15 GMT)
Southampton v Liverpool (16:30 GMT)
