Swansea were pretty poor against Everton. They had problems playing the ball out, Everton's pressing was very effective. This is why even though the 4-3-3 worked well against Arsenal, the regular 4-2-3-1 should be played against Swansea. I think Eto'o's workrate would be crucial in this game, I hope he starts. As far I see Routledge really works the channells, Luiz will remain on the bench, Terry and Cahill will start in the centre of defence.

With the quality on the wings in the United squad, I would expect them to score, especially with Hazard not that strong defencively. But if I were United, I would really fear that Carrick/Cleverley will be overwhelmed in the middle. We might see Jones in midfield again.

This kind of movement will surely trouble Carrick and Cleverley...
