Preview

The visitors have injury problems, with Phil Jones the latest player to be sidelined after going off with a problem early on in the defeat at Huddersfield.

However, the England international did not appear too badly injured after the game, per Ciaran Kelly for the Manchester Evening News:

United are already without Eric Bailly, Marcos Rojo, Michael Carrick, Paul Pogba, Marouane Fellaini and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, meaning Victor Lindelof may have to continue in defence.

The Sweden international was to blame for Huddersfield's second goal when he ducked under the ball during a poor showing from the substitute.

Daniel Taylor at the Guardian noted the difference in the United defence with Lindelof in the ranks:

United's injury problems mean manager Jose Mourinho may have to continue with Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera in midfield, although he could make changes further forward.

A change in mentality will also surely be needed from the Red Devils, with Mourinho criticial of his players' attitude after the Huddersfield defeat, per BBC Sport.

Swansea may well look to target Lindelof after his nightmare at the weekend, and with Tammy Abraham, Wilfried Bony and Jordan Ayew in the squad, they have the firepower to cause problems.

Abraham is Swansea's top scorer this season, and his importance to the side has been highlighted by the club:

Yet the Swans' home form this season has been poor; they have won once and lost four times so far and have been better on their travels.

This may be a good time to play United, who are weakened by injuries and have seen their early-season momentum disrupted by the international break.

A goalless draw at Liverpool was followed by the defeat to Huddersfield, and United's attack has stuttered, with top scorer Romelu Lukaku without a goal for the club since September 30.

Another poor result would increase the scrutiny on Mourinho, who will need to boost confidence ahead of key Premier League clashes against Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.
