Manchester City v Watford is one of four Premier League matches on another busy night of top-flight action, with Tottenham Hotspur also in action against Swansea. Stay tuned as we bring you every boot and hoof of the ball.

Mauricio Pochettino has left Harry Kane on the bench for Spurs's trip to south Wales with Fernando Llorente leading the line against his old club. Kevin De Bruyne has recovered quickly from what appeared to be a nasty injury against Crystal Palace and starts for City, who host Watford at the Etihad.

Meanwhile Crystal Palace visit Southampton and West Brom head to West Ham with both side in search of valuable points to lift themselves out of the bottom three. Follow all the live action below:

GOAL ALERT! Swansea 0-2 Spurs (Alli, 89)

Dele Alli wraps up the points for Tottenham at the Liberty Stadium, turning home the rebound after his initial shot was saved by Lukasz Fabianski.

76' - Close! Raheem Sterling delivers a dipping cross from the right wing and Leroy Sane is inches away from turning home City's fourth goal of the night at the far post.

That proves to be the Belgian's last contribution to the match, as he is immediately replaced by Bernardo Silva.
