Swansea City vs Manchester United
This will be the first time Man Utd will playing outside England as Swansea home town is in Wales. Swansea is the first Welsh team to play in the top flight division since the league formation in 1992. I believe another Welsh team could have hold that record if they had not lost in the play off in the Championship over the last 2 season, and is none other than Cardiff City.
With injuries to Chris Smalling, Michael Owen, Ryan Giggs and Danny Welbeck, Fergie have a wide selection of players to play as there is also a midweek game against Benfica where a win will suffice to go to the knockout rounds.
Other than Newcastle, Swansea is a surprise package this season. They held strongly whether in Wales or in England. They held Liverpool to a draw, lost Arsenal to a solitary goal and a heavy thumping by Man City, but they didnt let Man City score until the second half.
Swansea have yet to lose at home this season. Could Man Utd be the first team to do it? With a handicap of 1, I believe Man Utd could do it.
