Planet Swans ArchivesWe may have mentioned it once or twice before but the Swans completed a league double over Louis Van Gaal’s side last season with an opening day victory at Old Trafford followed up by a come from behind victory at the Liberty Stadium.
It was part of what we know to be a superb season for Garry Monk’s side and he will be looking to continue our unbeaten start to this season as the Premier League gets ready to take a break for the first international break of the season.
A win over Man Utd would lift us above them heading into that first break but they come to Swansea on the back of their own unbeaten start to the season which has seen them win two, draw one and not yet concede a goal in the Premier League.
The Swans we know are in good form with one win and two draws in the league on top of last night’s Capital One Cup success will see us going into the game with confidence high and believing that we can upset our visitors once more.
It does seem strange talking about a game against Man Utd where confidence is high and we are possibly anticipating a win but why shouldn’t we at this point in time? We pushed Chelsea all the way on their own patch and were desperately unlucky not to win and we breezed past Newcastle, a side that Man Utd could only draw with last weekend.
We have a team that is blending together well and in Gomis and Ayew we have two players that are scoring regularly and getting into positions to score even more often. If that can continue on Sunday then I see no reason why we won’t grab at least a goal and that could be enough against a side who let’s not forget have only scored two goals in their three Premier League games to date.
It will of course be a tough game but I do believe the Swans can do it once more. What are your thoughts? Cast your vote in the poll below
