Swansea star Ashley Williams is confident they can combat the threat of Robin van Persie when Manchester United visit the Liberty Stadium this weekend

However, Williams has promised things will be different this time and that Swansea will show no fear against the current Premier League leaders. "It is true that we showed United too much respect last season. We sat back too much in that first half and then got at them," added Williams. "We deserved a draw at least . Scott Sinclair missed a chance, an open goal, and they had one chance. "But this season we've got a lot more belief. We don't fear anyone. We're at home and we've lost two on the bounce so it would be great going into Christmas to get a positive result." Don't miss any live and exclusive football coverage this festive season.
