This year’s battles to determine which club will eventually be crowned champions of English football’s premier stage are finally happening as each of the competing sides in the English Premier League this season would love to have a crack at the Premiership title and dethrone defending champions Chelsea FC from their spot at the top of the pecking order. As of this writing, we have Manchester City looking pretty good – that is, if they can keep their impressive form going until we get to the nitty-gritty of the current football campaign. And while our reigning kings of the league can sure use a better series of results in the first few opening match-ups that they had in the top flight, we all know that Chelsea can turn things around at some point, as long as the ‘Special One’ Jose Mourinho is there to keep them on edge.
As for the rest of the field, we have a number of teams in the Premiership that are still yet to taste defeat after their first three games into the 2015-16 English Premier League campaign. And come August 30, we have a couple of those unbeaten sides going toe-to-toe for what should be an interesting affair as Swansea City play hosts to Manchester United at the Liberty Stadium in Wales. Yes, both the Swans and the Red Devils haven’t been beaten yet as both English clubs hope that they can put together a strong bid for the Premiership trophy. However, while both of these English squads sport an unblemished record so far, don’t think for one second that both of them are running at the same pace, because while Man United had to work for their undefeated mark, the same can’t be said of Swansea.
Swansea City, listed by SBOBET.com with the best football odds of *3.20 to beat Manchester United, take their home pitch again hoping to build on their promising but otherwise uninspired start. Sure, the Swans were able to have an unbeaten string of games going across all competitions, including those preseason fixtures that nobody really pays attention to, leading up to their latest bid for the Premiership since concluding their last English football campaign with two straight losses in the English Premier League. However, I have to point out that while Swansea went on to go undefeated at the start of their championship bid this year, they have only managed to win one in three of those match-ups, as the Swans were just fortunate enough to hold on and avoid defeat in two of their first three games in the current Premiership race.
Determined to improve on their 8th place finish last season, Swansea had the luxury of playing the defending champions of the top flight to kick off their run in the 2015-16 English Premier League season. Of course, since they were going up against Chelsea, not many football pundits liked their chances one bit. Fortunately for them, the Swans were able to match the pace of the Blues throughout the duration of the face-off as they came up with the equalising goal twice to end the game in a draw and deny the Stamford Bridge outfit from starting their title defence with a positive result.
Now while it will be understandable for Swansea to still be a bit proud after settling for a tie game against Chelsea since they did went up against a powerhouse football club that’s considered by many as one of the favourites to capture the league crown at the end of the season, the Swans can’t have the same excuse when they settled with another draw, this time against Sunderland – a team that finished 16th in their last campaign.
That one was an example of how fortunate Swansea were to come out of a match-up unscathed despite playing poorly against a Premiership team that they should’ve had an easier time with. And once Manchester United take the Liberty Stadium for their first meeting of the 2015-16 English Premier League season, the Swans better hope that the team that took Chelsea to their limits show up again because the Red Devils will certainly be looking to extend their own unbeaten streak that they have worked so hard on.
Manchester United, listed by SBOBET.com with the best football odds of *2.20 to beat Swansea City, have been impressive coming out of the gates as they were able to start their brand new bid for the Premiership strong, winning two of their first three match-ups to put themselves within striking distance of the early-season frontrunners. The Red Devils could’ve easily gone a perfect 3-0 had they managed to put something on the scoreboard against Newcastle United in their scoreless draw at Old Trafford, a game wherein Man-U dominated possession but with nothing to show for.
Still, with victories over Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa, it’s quite clear which side between the two football teams that will be competing on August 30 was working harder to keep their undefeated streak intact. And unfortunately for Swansea, they can bid goodbye to theirs.
