The Dugout Discussion – Swansea vs Man United

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).

    Fair point re: my bench fodder point - didn't consider 3-5-2.

    3-4-3 with bench fodder is how I like to play though - no headaches with bench points when it comes to attackers. If the 4.5m boy scores so be it.

    I actually took a hit to bring in benteke for gomis! Reasoning was he 'only' scores one a game and gets no bonus...that went well. Silver lining is I have Ayew and rival left Ayew and shaw on his bench.
