Swansea vs Manchester United Sportpesa Preview and Analysis
By Allan
Two teams facing different scenarios. One Team on the Up while the other's fortunes are not sooo bright. As it stands, Manchester United is leading the English premier League courtesy to the goals they scored in the first game of this season. Swansea are yet to keep a cleansheet against manchester United in the their last 10 meetings between the sides. Expect that trend to continue.
Manchester United must be looking forward to achieving their second win after they began the season in style. The red devils beat west ham beautifully by 4-0 last weekend. I believe that they are determined to maintain their impressive start where they achieved the maximum points.
Despite Swansea beginning the season with a goalless draw at Southampton, they have beaten the Manchester United in two of their last games. Therefore, a Manchester win might be a foregone conclusion.
Nathan Dyer underwent a knee surgery last summer forcing the Swansea to play without a midfielder. Additionally, Llorente might most probably be sidelined due to his hand injury, and therefore Abraham will lead the Swansea attack once more. Leroy Fer and Tom Carroll will fill the void left by Sigurdsson.
Manchester know how to shut Shop; defend first then score. Unless they make a mistake, which is rare, don't expect Swansea to score. Romelu Lukaku is firing on all cylinders and expect many goals in this game.
Possible starting lineups
Swansea: Fabianski; Olsson, Mawson, Fernandez, Naughton; Fer, Britton, Carroll; Routledge, Abraham, Ayew
Manchester United: De Gea; Valencia, Jones, Bailly, Blind; Matic, Pogba; Mata, Mkhitaryan, Rashford; Lukaku
