Thanks for your company. Now, here’s Arsenal v Everton:

Do hoover up the team news from the Emirates:

90 min: We are into three minutes of added time at Old Trafford. Down at Molineux, there will be five minutes of stoppage time.

89 min: Chong goes close to finding a fourth! He opens up on to his left, picks his spot ... but the finish is lacking. Matic superbly supplied Chong.

88 min: Manchester United are almost there. Ighalo went close to adding a fourth a moment ago, but he fires into the side netting after seizing on a poor header by Adam Masina, who inadvertently plunged Foster into trouble.

85 min: Ben Godfrey catches Jonny, the Wolves wing-back, with a poor challenge and the Spaniard is belatedly forced off at Molineux. Rúben Vinagre is on. Godfrey was cautioned following a VAR check.

84 min: A half-decent afternoon for Bournemouth and Aston Villa, after demoralising defeats to Burnley and Southampton respectively. Norwich will be eight points from safety with 11 games to play.

81 min: Tom Cleverley replaces Doucouré, and gets a warm ovation from all quarters of Old Trafford. Ighalo got a decent reception, too.

80 min: A flurry of changes at Old Trafford. Scott McTominay is on for Fred, Tahith Chong replaces Greenwood and Odion Ighalo replaces Martial. Greenwood has scored 11 goals in all competitions this season, the most of any Premier League teenager. No wonder Southgate fancies him for England.

76 min: As if things couldn’t get any worse for Norwich, Adama Traoré has just entered for Wolves. The winger replaces Raúl Jiménez. “How did rugby lose Traoré to football?” emails Mary Waltz. A valid point ...

75 min: Manchester United, as unconvincing as they have been at times, should be home and dry. Bruno Fernandes floats a cross in for Harry Maguire but Slabhead cannot direct his header on target. That was a fine chance.

71 min: There is some concern for Conor Coady, after the Wolves skipper comes off worse from a nasty collision with Josip Drmic. Coady slid in to challenge Pukki and ended up taking a whack. Wolves’ medical staff cover Coady’s face in ice, but the defender is hard as nails and is OK to continue. Coady gets a booking for the challenge and, after a quick concussion test, it’s back to business.

70 min: Ismaïla Sarr replaces Roberto Pereyra, as Nigel Pearson makes his first Watford change. Anthony Martial has scored in three successive appearances in all club competitions for the first time since September 2017.

66 min: No hat-trick for Diogo Jota this afternoon. The Portuguese has been replaced by another Portuguese, Pedro Neto. Norwich have made a double change, with Emi Buendía and Josip Drmić on for Rupp and Duda. As for Jota, he’s had worse weeks ...

65 min: Solskjær on Martial earlier this week:

I think Anthony can step up, get a few more and get to the 20 mark. Definitely. He’s got quality of course, he’s a very good finisher. He takes his chances really well. There’s good technique in his finishing. He’s good receiving the ball at times and dropping off. He can play almost like a false nine as well. Sometimes I’d like him to be stronger physically.

63 min: It has hardly been vintage United, but they are two goals to the good and that Martial goal was a beauty. Martial can be so frustrating – but there is no doubting his raw ability. Elsewhere, Wolves lead 3-0. They are absolutely cruising.

58 min: Room for a left-field stat? Jiménez has scored more Premier League goals than any other player this season without ever netting the first goal in a match. Wolves are heading eighth in the Premier League, United fifth ...

55 min: James skips past Dawson, and rolls an inviting ball across goal – but Greenwood nudges it on! And Martial is too slow to react.

52 min: Watford have an equaliser chalked off by the video assistant referee! Troy Deeney had wheeled away. But Harry Maguire appeals for handball, and United survive another sloppy start after Dawson is penalised. No goal.

50 min: This second half is shaping up similar to the first from a Manchester United perspective, with Dan James proving to be the dangerman down the left flank. When he’s in possession, Watford look panicked. Other than James’ odd foray forward, a nondescript start to the second period.

46 min: We’re back under way at Old Trafford and Molineux. No changes at half-time. Wolves, who are cruising against Norwich, will be hoping for more of the same. Tim Krul tipped a fine Rúben Neves strike on to the crossbar on the brink of the interval.

A juicy half-time stat to get stuck into, courtesy of Opta: Bruno Fernandes has scored each of the last 13 penalties he has taken in top-flight football (12/12 with Sporting and 1/1 with Man Utd) since missing for Udinese in April 2016.

Elsewhere, City and Chelsea are level-pegging in the WSL:

45 min: We’re into stoppage time at Old Trafford and Molineux.

44 min: It was a jinking, Jorginho-esque run up by Fernandes, his first goal in a Manchester United shirt. That goal ends a run of 235 minutes without a Premier League goal at Old Trafford for United. United look set to take a one-goal advantage with them down the tunnel at the interval. “Just when you think you’ve seen everything in football, a Portugueser comes along with the triple-jump penalty,” emails Justin Kavanagh.

41 min: Penalty to Manchester United ... Fernandes rushed into the box, out came Ben Foster and, despite the Watford goalkeeper shaking his head in disbelief, there is only one outcome for the referee Martin Atkinson. Watford had looked so content.

38 min: James teeds up Fred, but it’s high and wide! Dan James drives down the left, cuts on to his right foot and shoots over. He repeats the formula seconds later, but this time picks out Fred, who really should hit the target. United are, finally, making some strides going forward but Watford are still rather comfortable.

36 min: Raúl Jiménez, rightly, gets a lot of love, but Jota is mustard. Now, time for some more red-hot baseball cap chat. “Sun visors. Please,” emails Colin Young. Apologies! “If we call them baseball caps I can only think MAGA. Yeah, I know ...”

30 min: Ole Gunnar Solskjær was bigging up Anthony Martial earlier in the week but the Manchester United forward has been more cold than hot so far at Old Trafford, with the Frenchman blazing an effort painfully wide a moment ago. Up the other end, Doucouré went close for a grooving Watford side:

26 min: Diogo Jota, it is fair to say, is a man in form; he has netted seven goals in his last seven home games in all competitions, including four in his last two. A moment ago Jota squared the ball for Raúl Jiménez, but an alert Alex Tettey did well to intercept for Norwich. As things stand, Wolves will move up to eighth, level on points with Manchester United. Back to Old Trafford ...

25 min: It’s raining goals. City lead Chelsea in the WSL:

22 min: United seem to have put the wheels in motion – Daniel James leathered a cross in a moment ago after speeding down the left flank before Aaron Wan-Bissaka fired against the side netting – but it is baby steps at the moment. United are beginning to pop the ball about a little quicker, but they have been half-hearted when it matters thus far. A little tame in the final phase.

17 min: A few moans and groans as Fred surrenders possession and then trips as he tries to win it back. Anthony Martial does not do much better. Plenty of encouragement for Watford, who could move out of the relegation zone with a point.

16 min: De Gea does well to deny Doucouré! Watford have dominated the opening stages at Old Trafford. Will Hughes drives through the spine of the United midfield, picking out Gerard Deulofeu to his left. The winger delivers a low cross and it runs kindly for Doucouré, who is eventually crowded out.

11 min: It has all been very sluggish from a Manchester United point of view in the early stages. Nothing to write home about, that’s for sure. Reasons to be cheerful for Watford, with Deeney getting plenty of joy in attack. Watford are a different beast when Deeney’s in the mood. United are yet to get going.

9 min: “Love the blog,” begins Jack on email. “What is your stance on goalkeepers wearing baseball caps – something we should see more of?” Absolutely. Nothing better than a baseball cap being frantically ferried to the goalkeeper from the technical area. A relatively low-key start at Molineux, where Wolves are yet to get into their stride after a brilliant night under the lights on Thursday.

8 min: That mix-up between Maguire and Lindelöf has not exactly settled the nerves. Manchester United have made a jittery start at Old Trafford, with Maguire again sloppily distributing possession. Watford are feeling pretty good about themselves.

5 min: Shaw makes a big tackle on Troy Deeney, who was in on David de Gea after an incredible mix-up between Lindelöf and Maguire. Shaw snatches the ball away and Manchester United get away with it. A decent start by both teams at Old Trafford. At Molineux, a baseball cap is the order of the day for Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patrício, who is being blinded by the low Black Country sun.

2 min: A lively opening by Dan James, who stretches the Watford right-back Craig Dawson and fizzes in a low cross. Ben Foster gathers.

We’re edging closer to kick-off. Fred the Red is out on the pitch, geeing up the crowd. There will be a minute’s silence before Manchester United take on Watford in honour of Harry Gregg:

“Cleverley hasn’t only played for Watford,” points out Martin Lancon on email. Indeed, the midfielder is on the bench against Manchester United at Old Trafford, where Odion Ighalo and Danny Welbeck could also get on against their former side. “Let’s not fear the game,” says Nigel Pearson. “We have to embrace the challenge and earn the right to play at this level again next season. The players know they are capable of beating Manchester United, they have proven that but it’s about what we do today.”

More from Solskjær, who has been talking through his decision to omit Andreas Pereira and Jesse Lingard from the United squad. “We picked a squad of 18 and we felt it was the right 18 here,” he said. “We’ve got cover on the bench for wide men, forwards, midfielders and defenders, so that was the decision I made.”

A reminder that four Serie A matches have been postponed:

Team news news: Wolves give Adama Traoré a breather after he helped demolish Espanyol on Thursday. Leander Dendoncker replaces the winger, who takes a spot on the bench. Norwich make two changes from their narrow defeat to Liverpool with Christoph Zimmermann replaced by Ben Godfrey and left-back Jamal Lewis comes in for Sam Byram, who has been ruled out for the season.

Manchester United will play host for Euro 2021’s opener:

Ole Gunnar Solskjær wants Manchester United to join the top-four feast. “We need more wins,” he says. “Let’s join the party and try and challenge for that top four. Watford are very well organised and are always a threat, we need to be at our best. Mason Greenwood didn’t travel to Bruges [in midweek] but he feels OK.”

Team news news: Mason Greenwood makes his first Premier League start since facing Newcastle on Boxing Day, when Scott McTominay, who returns among the Manchester United substitutes this afternoon, suffered a knee injury. Odion Ighalo and Danny Welbeck are on the bench at Old Trafford against their former clubs. Solskjær makes two changes from victory over Chelsea, with Victor Lindelöf and Greenwood replacing Eric Bailly and Brandon Williams. As for Watford, Adrian Mariappa drops to the bench, with Craig Dawson stepping in. And Marcus Rashford remains sidelined for United because of a double back stress fracture, but his nephew has been doing the business in his absence:
