Thank you very much for joining Sports Mole for today's Premier League showdown between two sides struggling for form as Manchester United host Swansea City in their first match of 2016. Uncertainty surrounds both clubs going into the new year, but victory for either today would give them a much-needed boost in their attempts to start climbing back up the table. First things first, though, let's have a look at the two teams on show...

2.12pmIn front of them, and just behind Rooney, Van Gaal keeps faith with Herrera, Mata and Martial, the latter two of whom both hit the crossbar in the first half against Chelsea. Martial in particular looked like a threat and gave Ivanovic the runaround at times, although that trio behind the striker did fade as the match wore on and were ultimately unable to find a breakthrough. Memphis and Fellaini are left on the bench, while Lingard is still not fit enough to return from a hamstring injury. 2.10pmSchneiderlin and Schweinsteiger continue to partner each other in the middle of the park, with those two bringing more control to the game against Chelsea than United have had recently. Both have been criticised for their performances at times this season, with Schweinsteiger in particular accused of being one of the main problems behind United's slow tempo and negative play, but they certainly look like a more solid outfit with those two in the middle. 2.08pmVan Gaal only makes one change from that side that started at Stamford Bridge in the final game of 2015, and that comes in defence as Phil Jones returns to the XI in place of Darmian, who drops to the bench. That is likely to see Blind move back out to the left, while Jones joins Smalling in the middle and Young continues at right-back. De Gea, as ever, guards the goal for United despite renewed speculation over his future. 2.06pmWhat can we make of those two teams, then? Well, there is another start for Wayne Rooney up front for the hosts after the skipper was dropped a couple of games ago but returned with an improved performance in the goalless draw against Chelsea last time out. He has been directly involved in three goals in his last four Premier League appearances against Swansea (one goal, two assists), and we be hoping that his display last Monday is the start of a turnaround in fortunes this season.
Re: Manchester United Vs Swansea City 2 - 1 On 2nd January 2016 by SHAIBULIAR: 4:08pm On Jan 02, 2016
2.22pmToday is another huge match for Louis van Gaal, who many expected to be out of a job by this stage following the club's recent form. All reports suggested that defeat over the festive period against either Stoke City or Chelsea would have cost him his job, but he survived the 2-0 loss to the Potters and has seemingly been given a stay of execution following an improved display in the goalless draw with the defending Premier League champions. 2.20pmOnly two players keep their place in defence despite another clean sheet at Selhurst Park last time out, with Naughton and Amat both dropping out to accommodate Rangel and Fernandez, who has overcome a heel injury to start here. Ashley Williams continues at the heart of the defence, meanwhile, while Taylor at left-back and Fabianski in goal make up the Swansea rearguard. 2.18pmLeon Britton is another of the seven changes overall made by Alan Curtis, and he is expected to sit deeper alongside Cork, allowing Ki, Sigurdsson and Routledge to get up in support of Ayew - himself not an out-and-out striker in the mould of Gomis. It could be seen as a defensive option compared to the formation they played against Palace, but they certainly have the tools to hurt United. 2.16pmIt is pretty much all change in the Swansea midfield as only Jack Cork keeps his place in the starting XI, with Grimes, Emnes, Barrow and Shelvey among the names to drop out. Shelvey has recently been linked with a move away from the Liberty Stadium in January, and despite Curtis claiming that he is going nowhere, he is left out of the squad entirely for the trip to Old Trafford. The likes of Sigurdsson, Routledge and Ki all do start, however. 2.14pmAs for Swansea, Curtis makes a few changes to the team that drew with Crystal Palace last time out, but that was expected after his rotation at Selhurst Park. Perhaps the most notable name to return to the fold is Andre Ayew, who scored in the reverse fixture back in August and has been his side's most potent attacking threat for much of the season. He is expected to lead the line today, with Gomis, who has scored the winning goal in the least two meetings with United, dropping to the bench

Re: Manchester United Vs Swansea City 2 - 1 On 2nd January 2016 by SHAIBULIAR: 4:11pm On Jan 02, 2016
7 minIt has been pretty much one-way traffic in these opening minutes. Swansea have barely been able to get out of their own half, while United are doing a good job of pressing the visitors high up the field. 5 minTwo bright pieces of play from Martial as he picks up the ball and, on both occasions, runs directly at the defence. He almost bundles his way through with a bit of luck on the second attempt, but it breaks into the keeper's arms. 3 minThe very early signs are good for United here. They began quickly against Chelsea and look eager to do a similar thing here. Van Gaal appears to have recognised the importance of getting off to a good start when the fans have been so frustrated by recent performances. 1 minKICKOFF: Swansea get us underway here, but it is United who are immediately on the front foot and almost have a chance to score in the opening seconds as Herrera finds space inside the box, but his shot is quickly blocked
Re: Manchester United Vs Swansea City 2 - 1 On 2nd January 2016 by SHAIBULIAR: 4:13pm On Jan 02, 2016
11 minSwansea have their first chance to get the ball into the United box as they win a free kick in a good crossing position, but Sigurdsson's delivery is disappointing and runs all the way out for a goal kick.

9 minBetter from Swansea as they begin to get their foot on the ball a little, enjoying a decent spell of possession to just settle themselves into the game. It all comes in their own half, but they are starting to gain a bit of a foothold
Re: Manchester United Vs Swansea City 2 - 1 On 2nd January 2016 by SHAIBULIAR: 4:17pm On Jan 02, 2016
14 minMata has a shooting chance just inside the box, and he opens his body up as if to curl it towards the far corner, but instead tries to slip a pass in towards Rooney that is cleared away.

12 minPainful one for Schweinsteiger here as he gets caught by a high challenge from Cork with the ball bouncing around. There was nothing malicious in Cork's challenge, but his studs did connect with the knee of Schweinsteiger

No go get high BP oo, Its either a win for Man Utd or Draw. Hope you no put money ontop Swansea or else!
Re: Manchester United Vs Swansea City 2 - 1 On 2nd January 2016 by SHAIBULIAR: 4:25pm On Jan 02, 2016
21 minCHANCE! The clearest chance of the match so far falls to Rooney as Young's cross takes a touch on the way through, finding the skipper unmarked at the back post. His first touch isn't the best, but he still has space to get a shot away, drilling a low strike into the side-netting when trying to catch Fabianski out at his near post.

20 min...but it is a very disappointing effort from the skipper as he plants his shot straight into the wall.

19 minThat's more like it from Rooney. He picks the ball up and drives at the defence, during a foul from Fernandez which hands the hosts a free kick in a very promising position...

25 minDecent spell of pressure from Swansea as they play some good football inside the United half. It comes to nothing, but Alan Curtis's game plan appears to be working so far - they would be fairly content with another goalless draw here.

23 minSwansea's front men of Routledge and Ayew have shown one or two glimpses of being able to threaten United, although their pace has so far been matched by the likes of Young and Smalling. De Gea has been little more than a spectator so far
