What is the team news?
Swansea City:
Swansea captain Leon Britton is doubtful for the visit of Premier League leaders Manchester United.
Britton has been struggling with a back injury, and Jay Fulton and summer signing Roque Mesa are on standby to replace the veteran midfielder.
Fernando Llorente (arm), Nathan Dyer (Achilles) and Ki Sung-yueng (knee) remain absent as Swansea play for the first time since Gylfi Sigurdsson's departure to Everton for a club-record fee.
Provisional squad: Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez, Mawson, Olsson, Britton, Carroll, Fer, Ayew, Routledge, Abraham, Nordfeldt, Mulder, Rangel, Kingsley, Van der Hoorn, Bartley, Mesa, Fulton, Grimes, Narsingh, McBurnie.
Manchester United:
Manchester United head to Swansea for Saturday's Premier League clash without any new injury problems.
Long-term absentees Luke Shaw and Ashley Young are set to step up their rehabilitation by playing for United's Under-23s against their Swansea counterparts on Monday.
Argentina defender Marcos Rojo is still several months from returning from serious knee ligament damage.
Provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, J Pereira, Valencia, Darmian, Blind, Jones, Bailly, Smalling, Lindelof, Tuanzebe, Matic, Carrick, Fellaini, Herrera, McTominay, Pogba, Lingard, Mkhitaryan, Mata, A Pereira, Martial, Rashford, Lukaku.
What are they saying?
Paul Clement on Nemanja Matic:
"I was surprised Chelsea let him go, I don't know how that deal managed to happen," head coach Clement said ahead of United's visit to the Liberty Stadium.
"It's not too good for Chelsea and Antonio Conte has made it clear he did not want that to happen. It is a win for United.
"He is good positionally, he has good physical stature, he is strong in the challenge and good in the air.
"He has also a nice left foot and is an under-rated passer and is very focused on his football."
Jose Mourinho:
"Everybody is fine," he told MUTV. "The next week, on Monday, in the Under-23s game, Luke Shaw and Ashley Young are playing their first minutes of competition this season.
"It is like a pre-season match for them. But it is good news because, when they can play with the Under-23s, it is because the last week they trained with us all week so they are both coming (back)."
What are the odds?
Swansea win: 9/1
Manchester United win: 4/11
Draw: 15/4
What's our prediction?
Swansea's post Gylfi Sigurdsson era begins with a tough clash at home to Manchester United. Sigurdsson completed his £45million move to Everton this week and robbed the Liberty Stadium outfit of their best player. Jose Mourinho's United will be looking to add salt into the Welsh side's wounds after brushing aside West Ham on the opening weekend. Paul Clement has Swansea organised, but the visitors should have too much class and power.
Prediction 0-2 Alex Bywater
