Manchester United were recently knocked out of the FA Cup by Swansea City after a shock 2-1 defeat at home. After three consecutive defeats (in all matches) David Moyes has to pick up his players and face The Swans again in a league encounted on Saturday.
Swansea boss Michael Laudrup has already put pressure on Moyes saying, "Manchester United will come out and have a real go at us. "This is a game they want to win, they have to win this game and we must be ready for that."
Manchester United is not used to digest three straight losses. But it has happened this season - for the first time in 13 years and several pundits and fans have termed it a mini crisis at the club.
While I agree, this Old Trafford game is 'must-win' for Manchester United, but I don't think its crisis time yet. Obviously, there are going to be rough times when a club transitions between two managers. Expecting Moyes to achieve success like Fergie, that too in his first season is simply not reasonable.
I'm confident United will put up a strong show infront of the home fans and beat Swansea. Here's an infographic showing head to head history data and current form stats for both teams.
