Sports Mole previews Sunday's match at the Liberty Stadium between Swansea City and league leaders Manchester United.

Premier League leaders Manchester United will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the table when they travel to the Liberty Stadium to face Swansea City on Sunday.

United go into the match on the back of five consecutive wins in the league, in which they have averaged almost three goals per game.

Swansea, on the other hand, currently sit in 10th place having lost their last two matches in the league, including a dramatic 4-3 loss to Norwich City two weeks ago.

The hosts will be without playmaker Pablo Hernandez for the match due to injury, while goalkeeper Michel Vorm could also miss out.

United also have injury concerns, with Jonny Evans, Shinji Kagawa and Anderson all out, although Nemanja Vidic is expected to continue his return to full fitness.
