Swansea v Manchester United preview: What time does it start, what channel is it on, where can I watch it?

A look ahead to the Premier League fixture at the Liberty Stadium

It’s a big game for…

Marcus Rashford. The 19-year-old is experiencing the first turbulent spell in a whirlwind start to his senior career. No goals in seven games in all competitions culminated in the England international being replaced by the out-of-favour against Fenerbahçe. A return to his electrifying best cannot come soon enough.

Best stat…

Five of the last six games between these teams have finished 2-1.

Remember when…

Louis van Gaal’s first game as United boss was ruined, as goals by Ki Sung-yueng and Gylfi Sigurdsson handed the Swans victory?

Player to watch...

Gylfi Sigurdsson. The Iceland international has scored twice in his five games for the Swans against the Red Devils. After a quiet start to the season, he is beginning to have a greater influence on games despite the travails of his side and his range of passing, long-range shooting and set-piece brilliance can undo even the best teams.

Predicted teams...

Swansea (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Naughton, van der Hoorn, Mawson, Taylor; Fer, Ki; Barrow, Sigurdsson, Routledge; Llorente

Manchester United (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Darmian, Blind, Rojo, Shaw; Herrera, Carrick; Lingard, Mata, Rashford; Ibrahimovic
