Manchester United vs Swansea live stream: Watch English Premier League football free online [start time]

Manchester United will host Swansea in the English Premier League on Saturday late afternoon with United manager David Moyes under fire recently after the team lost three games in a week for the first time in decades.

Today's game will be crucial for him; things start at 5.30 p.m. BST (12.30 p.m. EST) and can be watched online through live stream - free for NBC Sports subscribers - via the link provided below.

United's Wayne Rooney has been sent for warm weather training to help quicken his recovery from a groin injury, and he will miss today's game. Also Jonny Evans is a doubt; he was substituted with a back injury in the defeat by Sunderland earlier this week.

For Swansea they will be without Pablo Hernandez and Roland Lamah due to hamstring and abductor problems respectively.

Swansea's FA Cup victory over United last weekend was only their third win in their last 17 games in league and cup, and would have given them a big boost. They must now come to Old Trafford in the EPL and cause a similar shock for the champs.

Swansea City's win in last Sunday's FA Cup game was their first-ever triumph at Old Trafford. Previously they had played at Old Trafford 10 times, drawn two and lost eight.

David Moyes' side have lost four of their last six home games in all competitions, and the pressure is building against manager Moyes. Even though fans vowed to stand by and support him when Sir Alex Ferguson made that request at the end of last season, some are already showing strain, and you get the feeling that Moyes needs to steady the ship quickly before more fans start to turn on him.
