Here's how it looks at the top of the table. Tottenham and Arsenal keep the pressure on Chelsea with wins today, although the Blues can restore their advantage if they beat Leicester this evening.

Arsenal

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "The first half was very intense physically, they gave a lot in the first half and then our pace took over. They had problems to contain us.

"Swansea were very well organised and they closed down as a unit very well. We lost balls in the first 20-25 minutes which was down to them.

"In the second half, you could see we could create chances. Our transition and accuracy of passing was very good. We were fortunate with the goals, but the chances were there.

"Olivier Giroud did well again and he was important for us. He had an ankle injury after 30-35 minutes and got to 60 minutes.

"Alexis Sanchez is not injured, he just wanted to stay on the pitch. I did not want to take a gamble on him.

"There are many good team around us and everyone is doing well. We can only focus on our results and hope some go our way."

Arsene Wenger says Olivier Giroud went off with an ankle problem, adding that he doesn't know how serious it is.

Swansea City

Swansea midfielder Ki Seung-yeung: "The first half was great even though we conceded a goal, we were still in the game. Then in the second half we concede two unlucky goals and you cannot get back into the game against these quality players.

"If you give players space, they have the quality to score. It is hard to concentrate against these sort of players for 90 minutes.

"I think it was a penalty. Laurent Koscielny's leg was on mine but it is the referee's decision. It was disappointing.

"We have 17 games to go, we should not regret what we have done, we should be looking forward to Liverpool and Southampton."

Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey: "It was important that we took the lead. We started off well and scored a few goals, coming away with a convincing win.

"One of our main targets was to not concede and we did that. We nullified them to half chances.

"The manager told us to be patient and we will break them. That proved to be the case."

O'Hara: Andy Carroll, that is illegal.

James Lockwood: Fantastic goal, Andy Carroll, won't score a better one than that! Made an otherwise dull game worth watching!

West Ham's Andy Carroll on his ridiculous goal: "I do try them in training a lot but they don't come off like that. I'm glad that one went in. I felt it [going in] straight off my boot - it was a great feeling."

Jamie Vardy returns from suspension to lead the Leicester attack and £15m midfielder Wilfred Ndidi makes his Premier League debut for the Foxes. 

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri makes three changes from the side that beat Everton in the FA Cup last weekend, with Musa and Christian Fuchs also coming into the team and Danny Simpson, Leonardo Ulloa and Demarai Gray making way.

Chelsea striker Diego Costa may or may not be heading to China to earn £30m a year, but he is not in their squad and did not travel to the King Power Stadium.

Eden Hazard will lead the Blues attack instead, just as he did when Costa was suspended for their Boxing Day win over Bournemouth. 

Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi, a £33m summer signing from Marseille, is on the bench and must wait longer for his first league start. 

Chelsea XI: Courtois, Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill, Moses, Kante, Matic, Alonso, Willian, Hazard, Pedro

What you don't want to see when your team is battling against relegation and losing is team-mates arguing, but that's the case at Sunderland as Patrick van Aanholt and Adnan Januzaj exchange a few cross words.

Into five minutes of stoppage time...

Like a giraffe that can perform Swan Lake.

Magnificent.

Another chance for Watford! This time Christian Kabasele's goalbound header is denied by Victor Valdes. Middlesbrough are on course for a well-earned point.

Tom Heaton has probably saved three points for Burnley.

He makes a decent first save from Jay Rodriguez, but his follow-up save from Josh Sims at his near post is superb.

Burnley are on course for an eighth win from 12 home games, but Southampton aren't done yet.

Virgil van Dijk (I shan't call him Dick like I might have accidentally done the other day) plants a header straight at Tom Heaton.
