Team News
Swansea
- Wilfried Bony is sidelined for a third game in a row, while Renato Sanches and Kyle Bartley will also miss out for the home side.
- Paul Clement may look to make changes to his usual XI in order to keep players fresh for this weekend’s league match away to Arsenal, but this is a real opportunity to knock Manchester United out.
- Roque Mesa has started three games all season since joining Swansea over the summer but should get a rare opportunity to impress against United.
Manchester United
- Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho would ideally like to shuffle his pack here against Swansea with an eye on next weekend’s league game against Tottenham, but injuries will limit his options.
- Phil Jones has added to Mourinho’s problems after pulling up with a muscle injury in Saturday’s shock 2-1 defeat to Huddersfield. With Eric Bailly also set to miss out, Victor Lindelof may have to start despite a dreadful performance at the weekend.
- Luke Shaw has not got a look in since recovering from injury earlier this season but will be hoping to get some game time at the Liberty Stadium.
- Paul Pogba, Marcos Rojo, Michael Carrick, Marouane Fellaini and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are all sidelined for the away side.
- Nemanja Matic could do with a rest but Mourinho may have no other choice but to start the Serbian unless Axel Tuanzebe is given a chance and moved into midfield.
Prediction
- Swansea have lost three of their last four and are only outside the bottom three on goal difference in the Premier League. At home, Paul Clement’s side have lost four of their first five matches.
- Manchester United have lost all momentum since domestic football resumed after October’s international break. Saturday’s defeat against Huddersfield was arguably the worst performance of Jose Mourinho’s tenure.
- Mourinho will demand an immediate response from his players but fatigue looks to be an issue in the squad with injuries starting to build. The United boss has enjoyed some of his biggest wins in English football against Swansea but a hard fought game is anticipated on Tuesday.
