Key match stats (supplied by Opta)
The Swans have never kept a clean sheet against Manchester United in the Premier League in 12 contests. The last Swans goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet versus the Red Devils was Dai Davies in December 1982.
Manchester United have won two of their last three Premier League meetings with Swansea (D1), this after losing the previous three all by a 2-1 scoreline.
Swansea attempted just four shots in their opening matchday game away at Southampton, without any of them finding the target - both league-lows on MD1.
The Swans are now unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches (W4 D2 L0) – this is their longest unbeaten run in the competition since a run of seven games between December 2012 and January 2013.
The Welsh club have lost only one of their last eight Premier League home matches (W6 D1 L1) and in their only defeat in this run, they were leading until the 88th minute (1-3 vs Tottenham).
Paul Pogba opened the scoring as Manchester United won 3-1 at Swansea City last season
Manchester United have only won two points (W0 D2 L2) and scored one goal in their last four Premier League matches away from Old Trafford.
Manchester United have kept more clean sheets in 2017 than any other Premier League team (12).
Last weekend, Romelu Lukaku became the fourth Man Utd player to score a brace on his Premier League debut (also Ruud Van Nistelrooy, James Wilson and Marcus Rashford). Indeed, the Belgian striker is also looking to become the fifth player to net in his first two Premier League appearances for United (also Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Anthony Martial, Federico Macheda and Louis Saha).
Anthony Martial came off the bench to great effect on MD1 becoming the first United player to score and assist a Premier League goal as a substitute since Nani versus Liverpool in March 2008.
Gylfi Sigurdsson has been directly involved in six goals in his last six Premier League games against Manchester United (three goals, three assists) but looks likely to miss this game for the Swans.
