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.

83mins: Swansea are pushing for a second and they almost found it through a well constructed move which resulted in Mo Barrow scuffing his effort tamely at David De Gea at the back post. Better from the Swans though.

85mins: Nasty collision with Barrow leaves Darmian in a heap. The Italian seems have clashed knees with the winger as he looked to pass him. Looked a sore one but nothing too serious.

87mins: Wayne Rooney has the ball in the back of the net but he's been caught in an offside position. The forward latched onto Ibrahimovic's through ball to round the keeper and slot into an empty net but the official put a halt to his celebrations.

Full time: Swansea 1-3 Manchester United

A Zlatan Ibrahimovic brace and a wonder goal from Paul Pogba condemned Swansea to another defeat and put an end to United's four game winless streak. Mike van der Hoorn headed in a consolation goal for Swansea but it merely salvaged some pride for the home side who are still yet to win a game under Bob Bradley.
