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.

    KDB> Pogba even, not Mkhi. Mkhi is so 2 minutes ago. Pogba is the man.

      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

    Pogba the one to get?

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Mkhi more central to their attack

    2. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. So sad I went Salah over him. He is nailed as can be.

  6. GinjaWhinja
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Mkhi has been absolutely terrible all day and then he gets 2 cheeky/lucky assists.

    1. Football Heaven
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I know so frustrating

  7. Leeds2116

    Goodbye Rashford!

    1. BobbyV
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yep that Martial has so much more class in the end product

  10. Sebbo29
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Wow what is happening

  11. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Was about to say, Pogba look like he could be the better pick given Mhkitaryan could be subject to rotation.

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

      He's not gonna get rotated

  12. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Surely Rashford can't start over Martial now.

    (Although he is a fantastic sub to change the game, as we've now seen.)

    Justice for us who did Zaha to Mkhi for a hit

  15. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I thought Utd didn't score goals?

    Ibra to Lukaku was the best thing Utd have done.

  16. Football Heaven
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

  17. Guy Demel
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    1. Gazpilicueta
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

  18. Baby Face Nelson
    • 15 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

  23. Fred54
    • 10 Years

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
