The English Premier League season is one week old, and already there’s been a few twists and turns. Swansea City will be hoping to add a big twist to the early stretch of the season by upsetting Manchester United on Saturday — but that’s going to be a tough, tough challenge for the Welsh side.
The Swans did well to hold Southampton to a 0-0 draw in their opening match, but Manchester started the season in utterly dominant fashion against West Ham in a decisive 4-0 win. Their team has been heavily rebuilt over the last two seasons, and Jose Mourinho really seemed to find a combination that worked going forward with Romelu Lukaku supported by Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. A similar performance here could prove to be just as entertaining for Manchester United fans — and deeply scary to fans of other clubs hoping to have a strong showing in the title race this season.
Manchester United have a slight possibility of getting two players back from the injured list this weekend, but it still looks unlikely that either Ashley Young or Luke Shaw will play. Swansea City might get Leon Britton back if he can pass a late fitness test, but none of Fernando Llorente, Ki Sung-yeung, or Nate Dyer will be available while they work their way back to health.
