Match Preview – 12:00 Kick-Off at Old Trafford, Manchester

Man Utd made it 24 Premier League games unbeaten in Thursday’s Manchester derby, equalling a club record. The point in a lacklustre game keeps United in the hunt for a top 4 finish. It was the 5th clean sheet in 6 league games for Mourinho’s men - United’s resolute defending has been a stand-out characteristic of the team this season. However, their struggles at the other end of the pitch have been well documented; they are the lowest scorers in the Premier League’s top 7.

Swansea City recorded their 1st victory in 7 Premiership games last weekend against Stoke City, the win keeps alive Swansea’s chances of survival, leaving them 3 points behind Hull City in 17th with 4 games to play. Their win against Stoke was only their 2nd clean sheet in 9. Nobody has conceded more goals than Swansea City this season (68).

When the sides met in the reverse league fixture back in November, a 3 goal first half flurry earned United a 3-1 win at the Liberty Stadium. A brace from the now-injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic helped United on their way. Read our Manchester United vs Swansea City betting tips below.

Manchester United vs Swansea City Predictions

United have a very tricky looking finish to the Premier League season and with games against Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur still to come, they really need to pick up 3 points in their more winnable final games. Swansea City at Old Trafford should really be one of those games.

Unfortunately for United, their players seem to be dropping like flies – the rigours of a busy schedule are starting to take their toll. Having said that, they should have enough in their locker to squeeze past the Swans. There might not be many goals though.

Bet365 have odds of 5/2 for Manchester United to win with under 2.5 goals scored. That looks an intelligent bet to make given United’s goal scoring troubles. You can also get odds of 6/5 with the same bookie for United to win to nil.
