Sunday’s tea-time kick-off pits two unbeaten sides together, as Swansea City welcome Manchester United to the Liberty Stadium. The Swans recorded a comfortable 2-0 win over Newcastle United in their last home match-up but now face a United unit that’s yet to concede a goal this term.

Garry Monk’s new-look attack has carved through the opposition with consummate ease, placing second for attempts (56) and joint-first for big chances (eight) and shots on target (24). This forward impetus has been balanced by a rigidity at the back, as evidenced by the fact they’ve conceded the fewest shots inside the box (11) of any side.

As for the Red Devils, they’ve limited their opponents to just 22 shots and one big chance in three match-ups. Having kicked off the campaign with back-to-back 1-0 wins, they’ve done just enough on the attacking front, ranking in the bottom half for shots inside the box (19) and shots on target (11).

    I know Gomis stuck that in but where was the marking. Shelvey was all alone in the centre as well.

    Absolutely sh*t goalkeeping

      • 12 Years

      Ayew motm nailed on

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Blind playing centre back is ridiculous.

    3. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Oh my what odds you back Ayew at?

        16/1

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years

    Looks like a FFS comeback day.

  6. Ayew Serious
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    My season is all about Ayew

    1. Santi sensei
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

    2. JedJez
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He's on my bench, as is Shaw with his assist - played Gomis and Darmain instead - ha was always going to happen

  7. Sky Blue Sun
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    After the start I've had this one goal feels like Christmas!

  8. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Monk deserves so much credit for getting the most out of Gomis who hasnt really shone before joining Swansea

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      That's so untrue its unreal.

      He was playing Champions League football with Lyon.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        10 years, 6 months ago

        So? I can think of a lot of players for UcL clubs that werent great

    2. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Why do you think they signed him? Because he was playing well.

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Why did he join Swansea? He was a back up option to Bony this time last year. He has improved under Monk

  11. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 12 Years

    1. Breadbin

  14. Bad Seed
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Difficult to choose between Ayew and Gomis.

    That's why I have both 😎

    1. ARKANOIIDE
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      How do you fit Kolarov into it then?

  16. Jazz!
    • 11 Years

  17. SweeSwee
    • 11 Years

    Impossible not to like Swansea

    1. chinmusic
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      You're not from Cardiff then

  18. GHB
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Nothing better than your players scoring just before international break.

    Should make a bit of cash over two weeks on Gomis now

  19. Would an idiot do that?
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Today could not have gone better!

  20. Paracelsus
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I was begging the managers to rest Mane or Ayew today with Sinclair as my top sub, but now I can just relax and say 'meh'.

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Good for value building too

  21. Cov
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I am really tempted to sell hazard for ayew

  22. GlasgowFF
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Come on United!

  23. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Its worth noting that Robbie Savage tweeted how Shaw was the best full back in the league just after Utds goal......

  24. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    How good are Ayew and Gomis together? Bloody awesome

  25. jam sandwich
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Shaw + Gomis = 14 pts at the moment, I'll take that

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yea that's pretty tasty

  26. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    City title looks a formality.
    Season over before end of August.

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I think this too

    2. GlasgowFF
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Chelsea will be back.

  27. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years

      This!

  28. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Ayew's assist is practically the assist Quaresma has been trying to achieve his all life/career.

  29. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Players sold last week in WC:
    Mane
    Sakho
    Ayew

    Obviously

  30. Son is Rising
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    that Ayew to Pedro (-4) not looking so clever now...
