18:45 - Hello everyone I am Danial Kennedy and welcome to VAVEL UK's coverage of the Carabao Cup clash between Swansea City and Manchester United. Kick-off is set for 7:45pm so stick to VAVEL for the latest coverage and news. 

For the home side the big omission will the absence of midfielder Leroy Fer who is missing from suspension, their will also be the absence of young loanee Renato Sanches who joins Kyle Bartley and Wilfried Bony on the treatment table. 

A big boost could be return of defender Eric Bailly, with the Ivorian picking up an injury during the recent international break but Mourinho confirmed ahead of Saturday's defeat that he could be back in contention for this clash. Some will say it hasn't come quick enough with Lindelöf seriously hindering his chances of a start, the Swede replaced Phil Jones early on Saturday which leaves some concern considering the Englishman had only just returned from injury which could see youngster Axel Tuanzebe get a rare chance. 

Last season's EFL Cup was the first major trophy of the Mourinho tenure and will be looking to retain that once again in it's Carabao capacity, they started well with a simple 4-1 demolition of Burton Albion but will be well aware that their trip to the Liberty Stadium will be a much sterner test. 

It was a lackluster performance from Mourinho's men as two major errors from Juan Mata and Victor Lindelöf gifted goals to Aaron Mooy and Laurent Depoitre, Marcus Rashford got one back but it wasn't enough to prevent United's unbeaten run coming to an end against David Wagner's side. 

Mourinho's side have been gunning at the top of the Premier League table with bitter rivals Manchester City, but were dealt an early blow into their title contest as they made the small trip to the John Smith's Stadium. 

It has been an excellent start to the season for the Carabao Cup holders, however they head to Wales on the end of their first defeat of the campaign and will be desperate to return to winning ways. 

Swansea started well with a resounding 4-1 victory over MK Dons which was followed up by another 2-0 win over Reading in the last round, but know that they will have to be at their best to reach the last-eight. 

However an own goal from Federico Fernández and another from Shinji Okazaki cancelled out Alfie Mawson's consolation for The Foxes to edge out a 2-1 win, but the one positive that Clement will take is their form in the Carabao Cup. 

It has been a so-so start to the Premier League campaign for The Swans who currently sit in 15th but more worryingly a point outside the relegation spots, however they will have seen Saturday's clash with managerless Leicester City as a perfect way to continue their winning ways from the victory over Huddersfield Town

Swansea City will be looking to use the clash with The Red Devils as a way to return to winning ways, but Paul Clement will know that he will face a tough test against José Mourinho's men. 

Hello everyone, I am Danial Kennedy and welcome to this Carabao Cup clash at the Liberty Stadium, as Swansea City host holders Manchester United for a place in the last eight of the competition. Kick-off is set for 7:45pm so stick with VAVEL UK fo the live build-up and team news ahead of the big kick-off.
