Their hopes rest with Manchester City, who lead the Premier League on goal difference, faltering at Newcastle United, who shocked Chelsea by winning 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night. Such an outcome would see Old Trafford brimming with euphoria before the match there has even begun. Swansea's season has been excellent, but their form has faded of late, with just a single victory for Brendan Rodgers' side in the last seven matches. <strong>Kevin McCarra</strong></p><p><strong>Venue</strong> Old Trafford, Sunday 4pm</p><p><strong>Tickets </strong>Sold out</p><p><strong>Last season </strong>n/a</p><p><strong>Referee </strong>Chris Foy</p><p><strong>This season's matches</strong> 20 <strong>Y</strong>59, <strong>R</strong>4, 3.15 cards per game</p><p><strong>Odds </strong>Man Utd 1-5 Swansea 16-1 Draw 7-1</p><h2><strong>Manchester United</strong></h2><p><strong>Subs from</strong> Amos, Lindegaard, Owen, Berbatov, Giggs, Fryers, Park, Pogba, F&nbsp;da&nbsp;Silva, R&nbsp;da&nbsp;Silva, Cleverley, Valencia</p><p><strong>Doubtful</strong> Owen (thigh), Pogba (ankle)</p><p><strong>Injured</strong> Evans (ankle, 13 May), Welbeck (foot, 13 May), Anderson (hamstring, Aug), Vidic (knee, Aug), Fletcher (bowel, unknown)</p><p><strong>Suspended</strong> None</p><p><strong>Form guide</strong> LDWLWW</p><p><strong>Disciplinary record</strong> Y46 R1</p><p><strong>Leading scorer</strong> Rooney 26</p><h2><strong>Swansea</strong></h2><p><strong>Subs from</strong> Moreira, Tremmel, Tate, Orlandi, Routledge, Monk, McEachran, Lita, Moore, Bessone, Gower, Richards</p><p><strong>Doubtful</strong> Rangel (hamstring), Tate (calf)</p><p><strong>Injured</strong> Agustien (ankle, 13 May), Bodde (knee, Aug)</p><p><strong>Suspended</strong> None</p><p><strong>Form guide</strong> DDWLLL</p><p><strong>Disciplinary record</strong> Y40 R2</p><p><strong>Leading scorer</strong> Graham 11</p><h2><strong>Match pointers</strong></h2><p><strong>• If Swansea score in this game it will be the first time since the 1978-79 season that United have conceded more than 20 goals at home</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>• Andrea Orlandi's goal after 22 seconds of the 4-4 draw with Wolves last week was the quickest in the Premier League this season</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>• United have scored with 20% of their shots this season and hit the target with 52% of attempts – both divisional highs for 2011-12</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>• Swansea have failed to win, or even manage to keep a clean sheet, on their eight previous visits to Old Trafford (drawn two, lost six)</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>• United have had more shots on target in 2011-12 than any other side in the top flight</strong></p><div class="related" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/manchester-united">Manchester United</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/swansea">Swansea City</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/premier-league-2011-12">Premier League 2011-12</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/premierleague">Premier League</a></li></ul></div><br/><div class="terms"><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk">guardian.co.uk</a> &copy; 2012 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
