Sir Alex Ferguson has selected Javier Hernandez to partner Wayne Rooney in attack for Manchester United when they welcome Swansea City to Old Trafford this afternoon.

Chris Smalling again partners Rio Ferdinand in the heart of the home defence while Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young will provide the width.

Brendan Rodgers selects his strongest available XI as the Swans look to continue a fairytale first season in the Premier League.

Manchester City have just beaten Newcastle 2-0 to put themselves three points and ten goals clear at the top of the table.

United: De Gea; Jones, Smalling, Ferdinand, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Young; Rooney, Hernandez

Swansea: Vorm; Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Taylor; Allen, Sigurdsson, Gower, Dyer; Graham, Sinclair
