Preview: Manchester United vs. Swansea City

Manchester United will need three points against Swansea City in order to keep their pressure on Manchester City in the race for the title.

Manchester United could have it all to do against Swansea City on Sunday afternoon as they face off at Old Trafford just hours after Manchester City take on Newcastle United.

The Red Devils sit level on points with their local rivals but an inferior goal difference gives the reigning English champions a slight disadvantage heading into the final two matches of the season.

Sir Alex Ferguson has already ruled out Jonny Evans and Danny Welbeck from the clash due to respective injuries.

In this instance the Scottish boss could place Wayne Rooney up front on his own with Ashley Young and Valencia coming back into the fold after they were benched for United's 1-0 defeat to City on Monday.

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers is likely to call on Angel Rangel after his absence from the Swans' 4-4 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend, while Alan Tate could be given a spot on the bench following a calf strain.

Current form:

Man United: WWLWDL
Swansea: LLLWDD

Possible lineups:

Man United: De Gea; Evra, Jones, Ferdinand, Smalling; Valencia, Giggs, Carrick, Scholes, Young; Rooney

Swansea: Vorm; Williams, Caulker, Taylor, Rangel; Britton, Sinclair, Dyer, Allen, Sigurdsson; Graham

Sports Mole says: 2-0
