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.

Saturday's Premier League results:

  • Bournemouth 1-2 Sunderland
  • Burnley 3-2 Crystal Palace
  • Manchester City 1-1 Middlesbrough
  • West Ham 1-1 Stoke
  • Chelsea 5-0 Everton

42mins: Swansea finally show some sort of response but fail to penetrate United's defence in spite of some clever passing around the penalty area. However, Bob Bradley will not be pleased with his team's lacklustre display in the opening period.

Half-time: Swansea 0-3 Manchester United

A Zlatan Ibrahimovic double and a goal of the season contender from Paul Pogba have given United a deserved three goal lead over Swansea at the Liberty Stadium. Swansea have been hapless and let United run riot but the quality of the away side's three strikes were undeniably world class. Pogba volleyed home to open the scoring before Ibrahimovic's ruthless brace all but killed the game off for the Red Devils.

Team news: The big news at the King Power is that Islam Slimani is preferred over Jamie Vardy to lead the line for the home side. Baggies midfielder James Morrison also makes his first start for Tony Pulis' side since January.

50mins: Five minutes into the second half and it's much of the same here. United are in full control and Swansea are merely chasing shadows. Carrick, Mata and Pogba are finding far too much space in the middle of the park.
