    12:30pm kick-off, It'll be at the Liberty Stadium, on Saturday, Gylfi Sigurdsson won't be playing because he joined Everton, I'm glad as well, He used to turn up against us most of the time as well.

    I expect a tough match, this is a typical match where the team will show whether they can turn those many draws last season into wins, or if it will be more of the same.

    I predict a 2-1 win, Lukaku and Martial scoring...

    Initially tough but we should negotiate this match. 2-0 win for United with Lukaku starting the scoring

    I'd take a crap performance and a win on Saturday.

    You look at the two sides and there's only one winner.

    Fully expect it to be so, like last seasons corresponding match when the first half was the most one sided game of football I think I've ever witnessed.

    I would hope we improve in the 2nd half though, when we seemingly couldn't be arsed to inflict more damage.

    We should prove to be way too good. A win by three clear goals.

    Correct. We had Brad Bobley in charge that day and we were abysmal!

    Let us score 11 goals and Fellaini won't elbow anyone in the face...

    Absolutely pissing down here on holiday. Badly timed as if it were like this tomorrow I'd have a good excuse to slope off and find somewhere showing the match.

    Forecast is good for tomorrow though so no dice!

    Will have to keep abreast of things via the phone.

    Anything less than a hammering for Swansea is a poor result for us here.

    Interested to see what happens to Blind if Shaw is fit to play.

    Watched a video of Q&A's with Jesse Lingard the other day and he picked Daley Blind for his 5 a side team as the defender.

    Blind did well against West Ham, but he unnerves me as a full-back against the better sides.

    Shaws injuries are so frustrating. He gets to his best I reckon he starts every game.

    I know its only 2 games in but I did see Herrera not being as prominent as people think he should be. Don't see him here for long personally

    That's a good starting 11 and I hope lukaku will make a few more runs into the box, something overlooked due to his 2 goals last week. I hope its just a case of getting used to his team mates .

    I think Herrera will get more of a look in for games we aren't expecting to dominate. Mata gives us more craft from #10 to break down packed defences, like Swansea are doing right now, but Herrera will give us more bite if we need to play 433 in Europe and against the top sides. Also if we have a run of bad form and need to fight more for games.

    I reckon we'll find out more when the CL starts and the demands on the team are stronger.
