Thanks for joining me. Have a fine evening.

Start it with Aston Villa v Manchester United.

Louise Taylor on Newcastle v Watford.

Ben Fisher reports from Molineux.

Paul MacInnes witnessed Norwich beat Everton.

Newcastle had one shot on target today. Not the best.

The great Scott Murray is on top of all events at Aston Villa v Manchester United.

Ronay on De Bruyne.

The narrative from today will be the added pressure on Rafa Benitez. Will he have the desire to carry on with the fans against him?

Another fine win for Bruno Lage.

The Canaries hold on.

Boos from the home crowd at the final whistle.

The sub settles it.

Newcastle 1-1 Watford: The Hornets are very much on top ...

Wolves 2-1 Southampton: Bednarek whips in a cross from the right which misses everyone, eventually reaching Perraud on the other side of the pitch who sends it over the bar.

Newcastle 1-1 Watford: Femenia was the man to put in the inch-perfect cross for the Brazilian to head home.

A brilliant header levels things up.

A stunning free-kick from about 35 yards gets Saints back into the game. What a strike from the midfielder.

Newcastle 1-0 Watford: Dennis is off for Watford and Hernandez on. Interesting decision from Ranieri.

Wolves 2-0 Southampton: The final roll of the dice for Saints as Adam Armstrong replaces Broja.

Norwich 2-1 Everton: Gordon connects beautifully with a Godfrey cross but his shot is blocked on the line.

Flynn Downes equalises for Swansea at Huddersfield. I assume Elis James is currently tops off.

Norwich 2-1 Everton: Richarlison gets up after whacking into the advertising hoardings.

Six for Fulham!

Matt Hobbs on Everton: “A player overhaul is undoubtedly needed but you could also argue Benitez has been dealt with patiently by an owner who sacked Sam Allardyce for finishing 8th.

“Everton finished three points off European football last season and the only only significant departures from that squad - James, Digne - were at the behest of Benitez.

“His insistence on playing Rondon means young talents like Lewis Dobbin could leave the club and although the club is a mess at boardroom level, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Rafa is part of the problem, not the solution.”

Ronaldo and Rashford are not in the Manchester United squad to face Aston Villa. Anthony Elanga starts.

Tom Lawrence puts Derby ahead against Sheffield United. At the same time, Sky Sports are reporting the EFL have given the Rams until 1 February to prove they have a viable plan to move forward.

ANDY CARROLL SCORES LEGAL GOAL TO GIVE READING THE LEAD AT MIDDLESBROUGH!

Newcastle 1-0 Watford: The Hornets counter after Lascelles loses the ball. The move concludes with Dennis teeing up Sissoko who sends the ball well over. He should do better.

Striker!

Norwich 2-1 Everton: Aarons goes into the book for cleaning out Calvert-Lewin. It is the Norwich defender, however, who comes out of it worse as he stays on the ground holding his back.

The Wolves skipper taps in after the ball comes back off the post.

Michael Keane has already scored an own goal for Norwich today but at least his twin brother Will has netted for his own side to double Wigan’s lead at Doncaster.

Wolves 1-0 Southampton: The hosts have a goal disallowed after Gomes crosses for Coady to tap in, only to see the flag go up.

The Brazilian makes a swift impact to bring Everton back into the game.

Newcastle 1-0 Watford: Back to the goal ... Saint-Maximin really is a great talent; he jinked his way past a couple of Watford defenders before whacking a shot that hit the back of the net before Foster could move.

Norwich 2-0 Everton Speaking of Rondon, he is off and Richarlison is on.

Mary Waltz says: “I see you are under attack from some of my fellow Everton faithful. The squad is bang average at best. Throw in the injuries and the lack of depth is exposed. The only problem I have with Rafa is playing Rondon. He has been useless in my view.”

Rondon is ruddy awful, to be fair.

The wideman picks up the ball and drives for goal and fires the ball home to cause delirium in the stands.

Trialist A has been sent off for Albion Rovers for a second bookable offence. I do not hold out hope of him getting a permanent deal.

Mitrovic has a hat-trick! 5-2 to Fulham.

Here we go again!

Fulham are now 4-2 up against Bristol City. The joys of a late kick-off keeping us amused during half-time.

I just think the team is pretty poor and that is why Everton are not doing well. I place the blame on things other than the manager.

Manchester City won earlier. Here is the report.

Newcastle 0-0 Watford
Norwich 2-0 Everton
Wolves 1-0 Southampton

And Neeskans Kebano has levelled things up for Fulham against Bristol City.

A counter offer ...

A second from Semenyo puts Bristol City back in front at Fulham after pinging the ball off both posts before it rests in the net.

Wolves 1-0 Southampton: Romeo gets a cross into the box which Salisu attacks but Jose Sa is equal to it. Another cross is sent into the box but Tella misses from four yards out. Southampton should be level.

A new low!

Mitrovic equalises for Fulham against Bristol City.

The Mexican sends the goalkeeper the wrong way.

Wolves 0-0 Southampton: A very long VAR review for a penalty after a Bednarek challenge on Ait-Nouri. The officials spend time trying to ascertain if Bednarek gets a touch on the ball before cleaning out the Wolves man. The referee is sent over to the pitchside screen and the penalty is inevitably given.

Yash Gupta emails: “Just found out Sunday’s game is off, typical Arsenal. Actually I wasn’t very confident as there were two more games in same week. Glad they got so scared they got the game cancelled. I would like to ask you what is keeping Rafa at Everton? Is it the name alone or the owners are Liverpool fans in disguise?”

As he knows how to keep am average team in the league. No guarantees any replacement would improve this mediocre squad.

Norwich 2-0 Everton: A visiting supporter has just run onto the pitch and tried to get to Benitez. Overall, I would say things are not going well for the Spaniard. I should say the issues at Everton are not down to Benitez and more those above him but hey ho.

Wolves 0-0 Southampton: Podence takes the ball down on the right, he cuts in and let’s fly but Forster saves well.
