The Dugout Discussion – Swansea vs Everton

Gameweek 32’s inaugural fixture sees Swansea City welcome Everton to the Liberty Stadium in the lunchtime kick-off. Both sides boast good form leading up to this encounter, with the Swans earning victories in the previous two Gameweeks, while the Toffees are in the midst of a three-match wining streak.

All eyes will be on Bafetimbi Gomis in the wake of his brace against Hull City last time out. The ex-Lyon frontman has struggled to fill the void created by Wilfried Bony’s departure to Manchester City, yet four goals for Gomis in as many starts suggests he’ll be a key player for the Welsh outfit throughout their agreeable run-in. Elsewhere in the Swansea camp, Ki Sung-Yeung continues to impress with his goalscoring prowess – having netted four goals in the past eight Gameweeks – while Gylfi Sigurdsson has delivered attacking returns in two of his last four outings.

Garry Monk is forced into one change to the side that saw off ten-man Hull City last time out – Angel Rangel comes in at right-back with Kyle Naughton forced to miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury.

Everton’s upturn in form has renewed Fantasy interest in the likes of right-back Seamus Coleman, who bagged a goal and an assist in their Gameweek 30 visit to Loftus Road. The Irish international has benefited from Everton’s much-improved defensive resolve in recent weeks, with Roberto Martinez’s men conceding a solitary goal in their last three league clashes. Today’s teamsheet finds Everton unchanged, as Romelu Lukaku misses out once again: Arouna Kone leads the attack with Ross Barkley up in support.
