Premier League: Manchester United vs Swansea preview
Manchester United are desperately looking for the light at the end of the tunnel and they might well find it if they gain revenge over Swansea City at Old Trafford on Saturday. The Red Devils were beaten by Swansea in the FA Cup last weekend, the first ever win at Old Trafford for the Welsh club. United have lost four of their last six matches at home but Swansea manager Michael Laudrup expects a tough battle for his side. "We've shown it is possible to win if you believe in it," Laudrup said. "In recent games we have played with a lot of confidence, and we just needed a win. I think it will be more difficult than last week. I expect them to come at us and they have to win this game. We have to be ready for that because we know it will be tough." United are currently seventh in the table, five points behind fourth-placed Liverpool and eleven behind leaders Arsenal. Their last match ended with another defeat, 2-1 at Sunderland on Tuesday in the first leg of the Capital One Cup. "I can sense in the dressing room that there's an urge to fight our current position," Manchester United manager David Moyes said, trying to boost the morale of his players. Wayne Rooney could return to the United squad but Robin van Persie is still unavailable with a thigh injury. Nani (hamstring) and Marouane Fellaini (wrist) also are out of contention. Swansea have some injury problems of their own, with Pablo Hernandez (hamstring), Roland Lamah (abductor), Michel Vorm (knee) and Michu (ankle) remaining on the sidelines. Here are the odds for Saturday's match at Bet365: Manchester United win - 1/2 Draw - 7/2 Swansea win - 13/2
