Swansea City v Manchester United

Blatter

Live on ESPN, kick off 17.30.

Team News;

Swansea midfielder Stephen Dobbie is set to return from the ankle injury he suffered against Norwich last month.

Neil Taylor is also available after a similar problem but fellow defender Steven Caulker is still sidelined with a knee complaint.

Manchester United winger Ashley Young will return from a toe injury, but Danny Welbeck has not recovered from a muscle strain.

Chris Smalling is unlikely to be risked after a foot injury.


United team prediction;

De Gea, Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand, Jones, Young, Giggs, Fletcher, Park, Rooney, Hernandez

flahavaj

Banana skin here. Swansea play good stuff at home. Really need the three points with City strolling vs Newcastle.

Any truth in the rumours Morrison might be on the bench I wonder?

Chicharito with 2 . 2 nil united

Howard Nurse (!) says Giggs starts.

Probably beside Carrick rather than Fletcher as he had a break over the internationals.

Hopefully, they're an excellent pairing IMO.

Though if its Nurse he'll probably have Giggs beside Sneijder in teh middle of the park.:pac:

Apparently

#MUFC Team v Swansea City: De Gea, Evra, Jones, Ferdinand, Vidic, Giggs, Park, Nani, Carrick, Hernandez, Rooney
Subs: Lindegaard, Evans, Fabio, Fletch, Berba, Young, Tony V

G.K.

Vorm, Williams, Taylor, Monk, Rangel, Britton, Dyer, Routledge, Gower, Sinclair, Graham

Silly by Rodgers, Allen's better than Routledge

dahat

Slippery one here......nervous 90 in store i think.

Had a 5ver on Jones at 25/1 to score first..hopefully we can get a win here

G.K.

Lindegaard, Fabio, Evans, Fletcher, Young, Valencia, Berbatov

flahavaj

Strong side. Hopefully we can get a settled back four in place now for a few weeks. I'd play that foursome when fit now for the foreseeable future.

G.K.

Swansea subs: Tremmel, Dobbie, Lita, Moore, Allen, Richards, Moras

happy enough with that team, except for park. pretty much as i expected, though i though young would start.

back to giggs and carrick which i am happy with, its our best non cleverly combination IMO.

will be tough game.

PHB

Carrick and Giggs back in midfield, should be interesting.

flahavaj

First time in his career Giggs starts a PL game in his home country.

/useless but interesting stat.

Raskolnikov

Backed 4-0 United @ 30/1 for giggles. Recent performances have been woeful, but for some reason I think United will put an overachieving Swansea to the sword.

Cypher_sounds

Nice balanced looking team, very happy to see Vidic in defence. 2-1 rooney and chico.

I hope Vorms has a great match!! He looks to be a cracking goalkeeper!!

Any streams?

It's kinda weird seeing Carrick and Giggs starting now.

FYP

everdead.ie

Almost two sentences before they mentioned Swansea nearly getting relegated from the football league I'm impressed!

Jax Teller

Vidic and Rio switched around At the back again .


Totally useless fact for yous. Vorm was on the bench in the world cup final .

everdead.ie

Sinclair should of lashed that when it dropped to him

monkey9

Should have been a yellow card, that!

MagicMarker

It's Chico time.

JerryHandbag

CHICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Bad mistake though

Professey Chin

Chico!
Silly mistake there

Thanks Javier, easiest €35 I will ever make

Raskolnikov

That is why Hernandez should start ahead of Wellbeck - the guy is just a natural striker.

flahavaj

Boom.

Cypher_sounds

Great work from giggs there and as you would expect from hernandez tidy finish.

I went onto Paddy power to do him first goal then seen Rooney 9/2 so went with that

monkey9

Swansea are a lovely team to watch, they play fantastic football. But Jesus, they lose possession an awful lot.

They were both at that price and I initially went for Rooney too but the market was suspended so when it came back up I noticed Rooney was playing further back so backed Chico instead

MANUTD99

Man United with 75% possesion. Are you watching Liverpool:pac:

Hank Scorpio

roffle

MagicMarker

:eek:

Raskolnikov

Miss of the season.

LostBoy101

Terrible miss.

everdead.ie

sinclair just isn't good enough this is too much of a step up for him same as Taarabt in my opinion he's done that too many times this season already.

Kylo Ren

Taylor with the tekkerz!

Hank Scorpio

park is offering nothing

jameshayes

utd dont seem to want to win this at all... very lethargic in the final third

MANUTD99

Library staff would do a better job commentating on this match than these twats.

flahavaj

Its like a La Liga game in the middle of the park! Something clatter someone else!

Are you watching ESPN? You know I was just about post about this very thing. He's the guy who does MOTD sometimes, what's his name? Could never find out. So boring. It's like he's always in "MOTD everyone knows the score already" mode

It's not that he doesn't have a good voice for commentary it's just the stagnant pauses, ffs

Now Hernandez (I think) gets fouled on the edge of the box, Rooney throws his hands up and roars! And the commentator goes "...free kick..." in a tone that you'd expect from a commentator at a crufts dog show
