With five games in action from across the Premier League today, there's plenty to get stuck into.

After the lively north London derby ended 1-1, attention now turns to the rest of today's fixtures which could shape up to be entertaining affairs in their own right.

Although Swansea may be struggling to find their feet this season - they're without a win in their last nine league games - the Swans hold a commendable record against Manchester United, their opponents today.

Indeed, the South Wales outfit have won three of their last four league meetings with United so today's clash at the Liberty Stadium will be one to keep an eye out for.

Elsewhere, Leicester entertain West Brom at the King Power Stadium, Hull take on Southampton and Liverpool and Watford go head-to-head at Anfield.

GOAL! Hull 0-1 Southampton (Austin, 6 min)

There's been an early break through at the KCOM Stadium and it's that man Charlie Austin who's left his mark. The Saints forward converted from the spot to put Southampton in charge of their game against Hull. What a start for the visitors.

Liverpool open the scoring through Sadio Mane's glancing header and double their lead moments later with a Phillipe Coutinho strike. Watford are well and truly on the ropes at Anfield!

Big changes for United as Jose Mourinho looks for a result - Wayne Rooney and Phil Jones start at the Liberty Stadium while Marcus Rashford and Daley Blind are dropped.

GOAL: Liverpool 3-0 Watford (Can 43)

Emre Can arrives at the back post to convert Adam Lallana's cross and that should - should - be game over for Liverpool. Anfield is having a party as Jurgen Klopp hugs all in sight.

10mins: United are controlling possession at the Liberty with some neat and tidy interplay. Swansea seem content to sit back and catch the Red Devils on the break. Nicely poised contest in South Wales.
