?Paul Clement’s relegation-threatened Swansea City travel to Old Trafford to face Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United at Sunday lunchtime.<\/p>\n

Here’s how the Swans could line up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Goalkeeper<\/h2>\n
\n
    \n
  • \n
    \"Fabianski\"\/<\/div>\n

    Fabianski<\/span>1<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    ?Ex-Gunner Lukasz Fabianski kept his second clean sheet of the month in a massive win last weekend against Stoke, and is more than likely to keep his place for the altogether more difficult task of keeping United’s front line at bay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Defence<\/h2>\n
    \n
      \n
    • \n
      \"Naughton\"\/<\/div>\n

      Naughton<\/span>26<\/span><\/li>\n

    • \n
      \"Fern\u00e1ndez\"\/<\/div>\n

      Fern\u00e1ndez<\/span>33<\/span><\/li>\n

    • \n
      \"Mawson\"\/<\/div>\n

      Mawson<\/span>6<\/span><\/li>\n

    • \n
      \"Kingsley\"\/<\/div>\n

      Kingsley<\/span>35<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

      ?At the back, Swansea have been shaky all-season, but they produced a big display when it mattered last weekend, keeping a clean sheet against the visiting Stoke.<\/p>\n

      Kyle Naughton will continue to play at right back, while Federico Fernandez will continue in the middle alongside Alfie Mawson\u00a0despite conceding a penalty last weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Midfield<\/h2>\n

      ?In midfield, Tom Carroll, who has been an important signing since arriving in January,\u00a0was the hero last time out, scoring a phenomenal second goal to ensure his side picked up a vital three points.<\/p>\n

      Ki Sung-Yung should return to the starting lineup in place of Leon Britton, who was given a rare run out\u00a0last time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \n

      Forwards<\/h2>\n
      \n
        \n
      • \n
        \"Sigur\u00f0sson\"\/<\/div>\n

        Sigur\u00f0sson<\/span>23<\/span><\/li>\n

      • \n
        \"Llorente\"\/<\/div>\n

        Llorente<\/span>9<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

        Up front, Fernando Llorente scored another header last weekend. It was\u00a0?his sixth headed goal this season, which is tied for the most in the league this season.<\/p>\n

        Gylfi Sigurdsson has not been having the best time of it in recent weeks, but is still the most talented player in the squad and has a favourable scoring record against Manchester United.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
