Best XI Picks for the Premier League Weekend

David De Gea

Goalkeeper: David de Gea (Manchester United)
Manchester United host Swansea City at Old Trafford on Saturday. Jose Mourinho will be expecting three points and a clean sheet from his side against the relegation threatened side who were thrashed 3-0 at home by Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup before the international break.
