SWANSEA v MANCHESTER UTD BETTING PREVIEW
After signing off last season with 13 points from five games to climb clear of the relegation zone, Swansea kept their unbeaten run going into the new campaign with a 0-0 draw at Southampton last Saturday. They attempted just four shots in their opening matchday game, without any of them finding the target The Swans have proved tricky opponents for Man UTD in recent direct meetings. In fact, Swansea have won two of the last three encounters between the two sides at the Liberty Stadium, although the Red Devils triumphed here last time out.Fernando Llorente is expected to be sidelined for the hosts while Gylfi Sigurdsson moved to Everton for a record £45 million. Tammy Abraham and Jordan Ayew are expected to continue in attack, with Wayne Routledge in line to retain his start at the tip of a midfield diamond given the lack of attacking options currently available. Leon Britton could continue to be favoured over Roque Mesa at the base of the diamond, leaving Leroy Fer and Tom Carroll on the right and left respectively. Ki Sung-Yeung and Nathan Dyer are definitely sidelined.
Manchester United brushed aside West Ham last weekend with an impressive 4-0 win. The big money signing Romelu Lukaku stole the show with two goals, whereas Paul Pogba and his Matic forms a solid partnership to boss the midfield. Prior to that, the Red Devils suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup United were better away from home last term, and their ability to counter should produce impressive results on the road.
Jose Mourinho could have a fully fit squad at his disposal to choose from, with injured trio Luke Shaw, Ashley Young and Marcos Rojo the only exceptions as they continue their recoveries. New signing Victor Lindelof will be hoping for his Premier League debut. Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Romelu Lukaku appear certain starters in attack, with Marcus Rashford likely to fend off the challenge of Anthony Martial on the left.
