88: Southampton think they should have a penalty but Hegazi’s foul on Long was after the offside flag went up.

LEICESTER 1-1 SWANSEA

86: The Foxes are throwing everything at Swansea, but still they can’t find a winner. Gray's close-range shot is deflected for a corner, which is collected buy Fabianski.

MANCHESTER UNITED 2-0 HUDDERSFIELD

83: Hmmm. Alexis Sanchez has lost possession of the ball more often today than any Manchester United player has in any Premier League game this season

ARSENAL vs EVERTON

Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Koscielny, Mustafi, Monreal, Ramsey, Xhaka, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Iwobi, Aubameyang.

BOURNEMOUTH 2-1 STOKE - MOUSSET

79: The turnaround is complete! Substitute Lys Mousset connects with Jordon Ibe’s cross to give Bournemouth the lead.

BRIGHTON 3-1 WEST HAM - GROSS

76: He’s been quiet for a few weeks, but Pascal Gross has scored a peach to put Brighton out of sight.

WEST BROM 2-3 SOUTHAMPTON - RONDON

73: Talk about grandstand finishes everywhere today! Rondon heads in a Brunt free-kick to pull West Brom back within touching distance. Great game at the Hawthorns...

BOURNEMOUTH 1-1 STOKE - KING

70: The Cherries are level! Josh King collects a loose ball in the box and sweeps low into the net. All set up for a big finish now.

MANCHESTER UNITED 2-0 HUDDERSFIELD - SANCHEZ

68: Alexis Sanchez wins the penalty for Manchester United after Hefele fouls him inside the area. The Chilean dusts himself down to take it.

Lossl saves the penalty but Sanchez tucks home the rebound. Unlucky for the goalkeeper.

MANCHESTER UNITED 1-0 HUDDERSFIELD

67: Here comes the cavalry! Paul Pogba is warming up on the sidelines. I can’t imagine it’ll be long before the Frenchman is introduced.

BOURNEMOUTH 0-1 STOKE

66: Woodwork! Shaqiri's corner is met by Crouch, whose shot hits the crossbar and goes over. 

LEICESTER 1-1 SWANSEA

64: Foxes almost catch Swansea on the counter. Diabate tries to steer Vardy’s cutback past Fabianski but it dribbles narrowly wide.

BRIGHTON 2-1 WEST HAM - IZQUIERDO

60: The Seagulls re-take the lead, and it’s an absolute stunner! Jose Izquierdo collects an over-hit corner from Pascal Gross before leathering it beyond the helpless Adrian.

MANCHESTER UNITED 1-0 HUDDERSFIELD - LUKAKU

57: Resistance broken!

Juan Mata, who was dropped for the Tottenham defeat, fizzes in a cross from the left and Romelu Lukaku directs a controlled volley into the net.

Will the floodgates open?

WEST BROM 1-3 SOUTHAMPTON - WARD-PROWSE

56: What a hit! Ward-Prowse strikes a free-kick from just outside the box across Ben Foster and into the bottom corner.

James Ward-Prowse has been directly involved in four goals in his last two away Premier League appearances (three goals, one assist), as many as in previous 28 combined.

MANCHESTER UNITED 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD

56: United getting closer and closer here. The ball is rolled across the face of goal by Shaw towards Lukaku but Schindler beats the striker to the ball to clear.

LEICESTER 1-1 SWANSEA - FERNANDEZ

53:  Federico Fernandez nets his second goal in 116 games to equalise for Swansea. Carlos Carvalhal’s side finally show some attacking intent and get their reward as the defender nods home Ki’s cross.

MANCHESTER UNITED 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD

50: Close! Smith makes a great block to deny Alexis Sanchez, who cut inside from the left. The defender follows that up by clattering into the Chilean near the touchline and collects a booking.

BOURNEMOUTH 0-1 STOKE

48: An excellent start to the half for Bournemouth as Josh King shoots from range with a swerving ball almost catching Butland out. Big half required from the hosts.

BACK UNDERWAY

45: We’re back underway across the country folks. Jose Mourinho has resisted the urge to make a change but I suspect Paul Pogba will be on if things don’t improve.

HALF TIME

HT: Goals everywhere except Old Trafford. Jose Mourinho’s side have a fair chance of being last on Match of the Day tonight.

MANCHESTER UNITED 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD

45: United almost hit with a sucker-punch. Depoitre launches a great counter attack down the right. Smith then slipped through Quaner, who chipped a ball towards the striker but Smalling rose above him.

Alexis Sanchez is booked for a foul on Hadergjonaj.

WEST BROM 1-2 SOUTHAMPTON - STEPHENS

43: All change please, all change. Jack Stephens has scored his third game in a row after glancing home James Ward-Prowse’s corner.

MANCHESTER UNITED 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD

42: Chris Smalling finds space at the back post and steers a shot towards goal to force another save from Lossl, but the defender is flagged offside. As you were…

WEST BROM 1-1 SOUTHAMPTON - LEMINA

40: Stop the press, Southampton have actually scored a goal! It’s a belter from Mario Lemina, who unleashes an absolute rocket.

MANCHESTER UNITED 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD

39: Frustration growing around Old Trafford as Huddersfield continue to keep the hosts at bay. Lingard has a go from range, but Lossl gathers easily.

BOURNEMOUTH 0-1 STOKE

36: Bournemouth's first real opportunity goes begging. Jordon Ibe's shot at the back post is going in until Pieters somehow keeps it out. Seconds later there’s a big penalty shout for the Cherries. Lewis Cook's ball in is met by Ake, but Stanislas is seemingly pushed over in the box. Claims waved away.

BRIGHTON 1-1 WEST HAM - HERNANDEZ

30: Brighton just can’t protect a lead! Chicharito slams home after jinking past the Seagulls defence to pull West Ham level. Chris Hughton will be furious with that.

LEICESTER 1-0 SWANSEA

32: Ndidi thinks he’s made it 2-0, but it’s been ruled out for offside. Correctly.

MANCHESTER UNITED 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD

29: Save! Another good stop from Lossl; he denies a fierce 20-yard strike from Alexis Sanchez. Mata fouls Quaner and collects a booking for his troubles.

BRIGHTON 1-0 WEST HAM

26: Worrying signs for the Hammers. David Moyes’ side are being comprehensively outplayed at the Amex Stadium this afternoon. Brighton on top.

BOURNEMOUTH 0-1 STOKE

23: Really disappointing stuff from Bournemouth. Eddie Howe’s side were electric against Chelsea midweek but Stoke have been much the better side. Crouch should put the Potters 2-0 ahead but drags it wide.

MANCHESTER UNITED 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD

20: Painful. Kongolo has clattered into McTominay, and completely floored the youngster. It should be a penalty but Referee Stuart Attwell looks to have ignored the incident altogether.

LEICESTER 1-0 SWANSEA - VARDY

17: Well don’t I look stupid. There’s the opener. Jamie Vardy has given Leicester the lead after slotting home from Kelechi Iheanacho’s pass.

LEICESTER 0-0 SWANSEA

16: I thought it was going to be goals galore at the King Power Stadium this afternoon, but no sign of an opener. It’s all very scrappy.

MANCHESTER UNITED 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD

13: Juan Mata swings a free-kick into the area after Van la Parra brought down Valencia; it's met by Smalling and goes straight into the hands of Lossl.

MANCHESTER UNITED 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD

10: Superb play from Jesse Lingard. He breaks from the midfield and dribbles through the Huddersfield defence, but his effort is saved by Lossl.

BRIGHTON 1-0 WEST HAM - MURRAY

7: Huge goal for Brighton. Glenn Murray is threaded through one-on-one and keeps his cool, slotting across goal into the bottom corner.

BOURNEMOUTH 0-1 STOKE - SHAQIRI

5: Now I didn’t see that coming. The Cherries, fresh from beating Chelsea, are behind in five minutes. Xherdan Shaqiri nods the Potters in front with a smart header from a deep cross.

WEST BROM 1-0 SOUTHAMPTON - HEGAZI

4: That didn’t take long. Things get worse for Mauricio Pellegrino. West Brom are in front early as Hegazi gets up highest to a Brunt corner and heads home.

BOURNEMOUTH 0-0 STOKE

3: There’s a nasty clash of heads between Wilson and Shawcross, but somehow they both get back to their feet unharmed. Not much has happened football-wise.

MANCHESTER UNITED 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD

2: McTominay gives the ball away in midfield, but he’s not made to pay as Matic mops up the danger.

WE’RE UNDERWAY…

1: All the 3pm fixtures are underway folks. I’m going to go out on a limb and predict FIVE home wins. I should warn you that my betting account hasn’t seen a win since Tony Blair was Prime Minister…

CAN UNITED RESPOND?

14:55: Wednesday's defeat at Tottenham was far more convincing than the 2-0 scoreline suggests as Manchester United were outplayed at Wembley.

Jose Mourinho's men return to action at home to a Huddersfield side that caused problems earlier in the season, with the Terriers securing a famous win to end the Red Devils' unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign in October.

United need to avoid a similar slip-up today.

GOOD OMEN

14:52: The last newly promoted team to win both league games against Manchester City in a season were Wimbledon in 1986-87. Crazy…

REMEMBERED

14:50: Manchester United fans have congregated outside Old Trafford to pay their respects to the victims of the Munich air disaster.

February 6 marks the 60th anniversary of the tragedy, which saw 23 people - including 11 United players and staff - lose their lives.

It is customary for the club to pay tribute at the home game closest to the anniversary, with today's Premier League clash with Huddersfield the one.

GOOD AFTERNOON

14:45: Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League.

We’re at Old Trafford this afternoon to see whether Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United can capitalise on Manchester City’s draw with Burnley, and exact revenge on Huddersfield.

There’s plenty going elsewhere in the league with four other fixtures. I’ll keep you updated with the goals as they go in from around the grounds.
