Just six days after Swansea City eliminated Manchester United from the FA Cup, the two teams once again are set to do battle in Premier League action.
United followed up that loss by losing the first leg of their Capital One Cup semifinal against Sunderland, 2-1, the team's third straight defeat.

Where: Old Trafford, Manchester, England
Watch: NBC; NBC Sports Live Extra; Sky Sports 1 (U.K.); Sky Go (U.K.)
United will be without their two top players and attackers, as both Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie will miss this match, according to Richard Jolly of ESPN. Nani, Marouane Fellaini and Rio Ferdinand will also miss the match due to injury.
