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).

    That play says something about Gomis.

    No left foot.

      Idk. He just barely missed...

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Mainly because in order to finish, he has to cross across his body awkwardly, instinctively, to use his dominant foot

        The best strikers can finish with either foot, but the run was amazing

          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          both him and KDB are players who'll cut in and try and intrude on the #10 role.
          Can see Navas being dropped then surprsingly recalled in a few weeks

    4. Breadbin
      • 15 Years

    How long will LVG persevere with Rooney? Awful to watch.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Until chicharito stops playing terribly

    2. Breadbin

  25. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Makes sense Gomis used to play for Lyon

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years

      true

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

    Herrera already looks like an improvement over Januzaj. Two big chances created

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He is 10 times the player Januzaj is

  27. mitro

    Shelvey not good enough for England?

    1. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      It's England. Of course he is.

    2. Sif
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      His head makes Rooney feel uneasy.

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      If Vardy can get in...

    4. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He's improved a lot recently

  28. Syd.

    Why the feck did I put Depay into my team

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

      because lots of others did and your a big sheep

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

    KDB is good at passing to people who then proceed to score

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Nice habit to have

    2. Jafooli
