Swansea City has been struggling all season long and is currently on a nine-game winless slide after winning their season-opener against newly-promoted side Burnley back in August. The team dropped to the bottom three relegation zone as a result with only winless club Sunderland having the worst record.

The Swans were routed by middling squad Stoke City, 1-3, on the road at the Bet365 Stadium on Monday to lose once again after drawing with Burnley in the previous round, as per Goal.

Stoke City netted the opening goal right in the third minute with striker Wilfried Bony's first of two goals in the contest. However, Swansea was able to answer right away with a header from midfielder Wayne Routledge off a cross by teammate Gylfi Sigurdsson.

An own goal by defender Alfie Mawson gave the lead back to the Potters in the 55th minute while Bony's second goal in the 73rd sealed the loss for head coach Bob Bradley's side.

Meanwhile, Manchester United has been in a downward spiral since starting the season with a three-game winning run. The team has only won once since then and had been winless in six of their last seven outings to drop to the eighth spot of the current league table.

In their most recent match, the Red Devils were held to a 0-0 draw by Burnley at their own home field of Old Trafford last Saturday, as per the club's official website.

As usual, United has dominated ball possession and had many chances on goal but head coach Jose Mourinho's team just could not find a goal in the whole match.

To make matters worse, midfielder Ander Herrera was sent off in the 68th as the Red Devils spent the final minutes trying to fend off the Clarets' attack.

Prediction and Predicted Lineup

The predicted result is a 1-0 bounce back victory for Manchester United.

Swansea City starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Fabianski; Naughton, van der Hoorn, Mawson, Taylor; Fer, Ki; Barrow, Sigurdsson, Routledge; Llorente

Manchester United starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): De Gea; Darmian, Blind, Rojo, Shaw; Carrick, Pogba; Lingard, Mata, Rashford; Ibrahimović
