1552: Charlton against Sheffield United is the last match to turn for the tunnel. At the Reebok tempers flare as Michael Duberry leaves Kevin Nolan in a heap on the deck after a lunging tackle.

1551: Half-time entertainment in the away end at Vicarage Road involves getting your phone out and taking a picture of yourself with Manchester City fan, and mastermind behind Oasis, Noel Gallagher.

1550: Sheffield United stopper Paddy Kenny claws away a cross and is then alert to save a low backheel from Darren Bent at his left post as the Charlton man looks to turn in another cross.

1546: The first half-time whistle is at Anfield.

1544: News reaches us that there are a few technical problems with the website today. If you were stuck on 1527 for a while, reast assured, you have not really missed much.

1541: Mark Lawrenson predicted that 2-2 draw in the north London derby so it may be worth checking out what else he saw in his crystal ball. The bad news for West Ham fans is that on Planet Lawro they are going to throw away their one-goal lead.

1539: That is dreadful. A short Watford free-kick is pulled back to Hameur Bouazza on the edge of the Manchester City area and he 'hameurs' it high and wide. The sort of kick at goal you would expect from Vicarage Road's co-tenants Saracens.

1538: The statistics say Watford have had 63% of the ball against Manchester City. Unfortunately they have not created much.

1536: Now Sheffield United striker Jonathan Stead lines up a shot as the ball breaks for him from a corner, but he drags the effort wide of the Charlton goal.

1535: Sheffield United's Michael Tonge cracks a free-kick into the Charlton wall.

1532: Another injury, and another for Bolton. El Hadji Diouf pulls up sharply holding his hamstring. David Thompson comes on.

1530: GOAL Liverpool 1-0 Wigan
Now for the cheers from the Kop. Dirk Kuyt heads in Jermaine Pennant's cross frrom the right.

1527: The football's a slow burner this afternoon, so thank heavens for referee Mike Riley. He falls falls over backwards at Anfield. Cue plenty of laughter on the Kop.

1526: Joey Barton has a Geoff Thomas moment. The Manchester City man's wild shot is out for a throw.

1525: Liam Rosenior heads on to his own post under pressure from Morten Gamst Pedersen. A lucky escape.

1524: Yet another change as the long season seems to be taking a bit of a toll. Bolton's Lubomir Michalik, recalled early from his loan spell at Leeds in midweek, comes on for defender Nicky Hunt who has a calf problem.

1523: Watford boss Adrian Boothroyd looks even glummer now as Damien Francis hobbles off. Steve Kabba comes on.

1521: Fulham goalkeeper Antti Niemi tips over a Morten Gamst Pedersen free-kick at Craven Cottage to maintain his side's lead against Blackburn.

1519: Wigan have never beaten Liverpool and the early evidence suggests that is not going to change. John Arne Riise lines up a couple of sighters and Leighton Baines is alert to the threat of Peter Crouch.

An absolute belter from Bobby Zamora. A neat backheel from Yossi Benayoun and Zamora unleashes a fierce left-footed drive from outside the box. Hope springs eternal for the Hammers.

1513: The football at Anfield has all the dynamism of a friendly. Liverpool's supporters make up for the vacuum in entertainment by chanting Rafa Benitez's name to the tune of "La Bamba" before a brief rendition of the "Fields of Anfield Road".

1510: GOAL Fulham 1-0 Blackburn
A Simon Davies corner is headed down by Papa Bouba Diop and Vincenzo Montella scoops the ball over the Blackburn man on the line. A good start for Lawrie Sanchez in his first home match as Fulham boss.

1509: That is it for Andy Johnson this afternoon. James McFadden is the man who comes on.

1508: What looks like an early enforced change for Everton as Andy Johnson hobbles off after hurting his ankle in a challenge with Nigel Reo-Coker.

1507: Good chance for El-Hadji Diouf from close range. He latches on to Nicky Hunt's hopeful pass but fails to get a decent contact on the ball and Marcus Hahnemann makes a comfortable save. Diouf can't believe he missed.

1506: An excellent atmosphere at The Valley, which builds as Charlton have their first real taste of attacking action. The Blades hold firm.

1504: A chance for Sheffield United, but instead of a goal it is a booking for Luton Shelton. The Jamaican stoops to head in Keith Gillespie's cross but leads with his hand.

1501: Don't forget that you can stay abreast of your team's survival bid by using the BBC Sport Predictor.

1500: Full steam ahead in the battle to avoid the drop as the afternoon's action begins.

1458: Sheffield United are not guaranteed top-flight football next season so for them it was the Midland Mainline down to London last night. Boss Neil Warnock has revealed he was a bit of a trainspotter as a kid so bet he enjoyed himself.

1457: That leaves Bolton against Reading, who travelled up to the north east in a private jet this morning. That is what the promise of Premiership cash next season does to clubs.

1452: Elsewhere, Watford could be consigned to the Championship if they fail to beat Manchester City, while West Ham are in desperate need of a win at home to Everton.

1450: And TV commentator Jonathan Pearce is at it as well, talking about "Money, Money, Money". The team that loses between Charlton and Sheffield United will end the day in the relegation zone and cash could be in short supply in the Championship.

1449: Courtesy of your match reporter for the day Caroline Cheese: "Will Charlton or Sheffield United meet their Waterloo today? An Abba tribute band is entertaining the troops at The Valley. "Frida" is wearing a dangerously short skirt."

1448: We make no apology for focusing the gaze on the bottom of the table today, particularly when the entertainment is so good at The Valley with an Abba tribute band in full flow.

1445: Sunny skies up and down the land as the players at the six 1500 BST Premiership games are put through their paces before the off.

1441: FULL-TIME Tottenham 2-2 Arsenal
A late, late goal from Jermaine Jenas gives Tottenham an undeserved point and denies Arsenal the chance to go third. Spurs, who have not beaten the Gunners this century, climb to seventh.

Bolton defender Tal Ben Haim is fit to start after overcoming a thigh injury but Abdoulaye Faye is not so fortunate. His absence means recently recalled loanee Lubomir Michalik starts on the bench. Leroy Lita is banned for Reading so Dave Kitson partners Kevin Doyle up front. Steve Sidwell keeps his place in the side alongside John Oster.

Watford make four changes with Marlon King making his first start since October in place of Tamas Priskin and Lloyd Doyley, Chris Powell and Al Bangura coming in for Tommy Smith, Adrian Mariappa and Jordan Stewart. Manchester City stick with the same team that started Tuesday's defeat by Arsenal.
