    In Iraq, football is the country's most popular sport, but a room full of Manchester United supporters in Baghdad is not what you would expect to see.

    Manchester United laid down an impressive marker when they swatted aside a feeble West Ham team on the opening weekend, and Jose Mourinho’s men will be aiming to make similarly light work of Swansea City today.

    Their forward line will be led again by Romelu Lukaku, who announced his £75m arrival from Everton with two goals against the Hammers last Sunday.

    The Belgian has three goals in 10 Premier League appearances against Swansea, who defended stoically in their opening goalless draw at Southampton but showed precious little attacking threat.

    Today’s encounter might follow a similar pattern, as Swansea begin life without Gylfi Sigurdsson following the Icelandic midfielder’s £45m move to Everton.

    Swansea

    Gylfi Sigurdsson has finally gone.

    The Premier League's longest transfer saga of this summer came to an end as Swansea sanctioned the sale of the Icelandic midfielder to Everton.

    The Toffees shelled out a club record £45m for the player.

    Swans boss Paul Clement said: "It is a big challenge replacing Gylfi, but I hope we can potentially bring in two or three players to strengthen us in various positions."

    If everyone's so convinced that Matic is the complete midfielder then how come there was so little hype about him last season? He is a good player but everyone is making him out to be some sort of superman and Chelsea will sign a replacement who is equally as good soon enough.

    Will Kyle Bartley start in midfield or in a back three? We shall see

    Swansea City head coach Paul Clement makes two changes from the goalless draw at Southampton, switching to a 5-3-2 formation with centre-back Kyle Bartley replacing winger Wayne Routledge and midfielder Roque Mesa coming in for Leon Britton for his first Premier League start.

    Swansea XI: Fabianski; Naughton, Fernandez, Bartley, Mawson, Olsson; Mesa, Fer, Carrol; Ayew, Abraham.

    Manchester United

    Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, meanwhile, names an unchanged team from Sunday’s 4-0 drubbing of West Ham.

    Manchester United XI: De Gea; Valencia, Bailly, Jones, Blind; Matic, Pogba, Mata; Rashford, Mkhitaryan, Lukaku.

    Good news for West Ham goalkeeper Joe Hart, who let in four at Old Trafford last weekend.

    If Barcelona insisted on all 198 million upfront from PSG, why should any other club consider stage or performance related payment from Barca for their best. Keep Coutinho, have a run in Champions League and secure top 4 again, then let him go in May if he wants and when you have 3 months to sort replacements and when no new kit shirt sales with his name on at £50-60 have just been sold to hard up families!

  15. Which Premier League player are you?published at 11:11 British Summer Time 19 August 2017

    Which player are you

    The Premier League is 25 years old and has been home to almost 4,000 players - but which one are you most like?

    Are you the unpredictable maverick who is capable of great things? Are you the sort of character to be avoided at all costs?

    Do you never miss from 12 yards? Do you like what you see in the mirror - or perhaps enjoy the good life a little bit too much?

    Perhaps when it all boils down to it you're reliable but, erm, maybe not all that exciting.

    Play our quiz and find out - and remember, it's just a bit of fun.

    Of course it is not just the stars of stage, screen and streaming that are taking on the sage of Preston this season.

    You can also pit you predicting wits against Mark Lawrenson via the new-look BBC Sport Predictor game.

    Over 120,000 are signed up with enigmatically-named duo Payniac and Whiskey Joe at the top of the tree after the first week.

    Lawro, back on 120 points, is still in the top 3% of players though.

    Probably not a clarification that you would think you would need from Sean Dyche.
