Gameweek 2 begins in south Wales, with Swansea City hosting early league leaders Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho’s side claim that position following Sunday’s 4-0 demolition of West Ham United – their biggest opening weekend victory since 2006 (5-1 vs Fulham).

In contrast, Swansea will play host having battled to a 0-0 stalemate at Southampton; a game which saw them muster just four shots on goal to the Saints’ 29.

However, Paul Clement’s side are unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches – winning four and drawing two – and are on the verge of a club record if they can possibly avoid defeat today.

Goals may be hard to come by for the home side who are without the departed Gylfi Sigurdsson and last season’s leading scorer, Fernando Llorente. That pair contributed 53% of Swansea’s goals last season.

United will look to Romelu Lukaku for their goals.

Backed by his growing Fantasy ownership – which now accounts for 53.5% of FPL managers – the Belgian will look to build on last weekend’s brace against the Hammers.

However, his record against Swansea is far from convincing. He has claimed just three goals in 11 appearances against the Welshmen and has failed to score against them in his last six outings.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Only 36 mins gone Lukaku will get plenty of chances. Although a hattrick certainly does not look likely

    Rashford clinical

      • 9 Years

  6. GlasgowFF

    Rashford needs sports psychology.

  7. laplana
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Rashford is an example of an over privileged spoilt brat being ungrateful with everything he's given!!!

      Twatish comment.

      Love seeing such intelligent, insightful comments on FFS... ridiculous :/

    4. Darth_Krid
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Bit harsh. Seems like a level-headed local lad to me. Never seen him throw a strop on or off the field.

      Needs to work on his finishing though...

    Mawsons having a mare

  9. SweeSwee

    Take Rashford off

    1. laplana
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      The sooner the better, seriously hampering the United attack.

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    DDG with only 1 save on FPL. It would be nice to know how they judged the Mesa 'effort'...

  11. Patty
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    8 hours since Fabianski let in a goal from open play

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      You know what they say about making saves

      Flapping is stapping

  12. Fowler23
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    So guess united aren't winning the treble

  13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    If that had been Martial, Mourinho would have dropped him for a month

  14. GlasgowFF
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Rashford to Martial, Pogba to Fellini, push DDG forward

  15. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
    • 11 Years

    rashford is an extremely unreliable finisher

  16. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Tom Carroll nice IFK delivery

  17. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years

    Bailly has been brilliant!

    With all this Lukaku/Pogba/Rashford chat, Mkhi has been pretty quiet so far 🙁

    1. Somalion
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Swansea have been very defensive, difficult for anyone to really stand out.

  24. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

  25. FISKIMUS

    lol at Rashford haters, obs Kaku bummers....Rashford has been livlier

    1. Waxys
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      His finishing still sucks

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    We need to realise that Lukaku wont be playing Joe Hart every week.

  27. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    As a non-Lukaku captainer, and a non- Mkhi owner, this game is still only one move away from being a points disaster zone, with a Mkhi assist/Luka goal

    i sometimes wonder how this is the no1 sport in the world, absolute bore fest

      Don't worry - I've got double Utd defence. It won't last.

    4. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Its because other sports are mismatched most games. Football is nearly always 1 goal from a win/draw or 1 from suddenly making the game a tight affair again

      Stuff like New Zealand 58-7 Italy or India 375-125 Zimbabwe isn't really that good.

  29. Waxys
    • 8 Years
