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.
ï‚·
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.

      You have additionally conveniently forgotten about all the Lukaku captainers who were whinging earlier. Daft comment to suit your argument

    Shame you can't have five Utd players. DDG, Bailly, Pogba, Mkhi and Lukaku would be ideal.

    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    No way I'm getting Pogba or Micky, sharing points like a couple of twins....l

      • 9 Years

      I thought Utd didn't score goals?

      Ibra to Lukaku is the best thing Utd have done.

  18. Judeksi
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    That shows how good Lukaku is. He can be totally absent for 80 minutes and when he gets a chance he won't miss it.

      You need to pipe down mate. You're the one who said Pogba didn't get an assist to try wind people up.

  23. Somalion

    So yeah, Matic does free up Pogba.
