Closing out the day’s entertainment, Swansea City and Aston Villa cross swords at the Liberty Stadium. The Swans will look to rebound from their narrow defeat at Bournemouth last time out, while the Villains are in the midst of a miserable five-match losing streak.

Swansea occupy the middle of the pack with regards to their attacking stats across their last four matches, having recorded six goals and the joint-tenth-most big chances (six). Worryingly for the Welsh outfit’s backers, they’ve carded the third-fewest goals (14), second-fewest big chances (12) and fewest shots on target (45) on home turf this term. There’s work to be done on the defensive end, too, given that only West Bromwich Albion have conceded more shots inside the box (47) than Swansea (46) across their last four fixtures.

Villa offered little in the way of attacking threat during their last quartet of league ties, notching two goals, the fewest attempts (33), joint-fewest shots inside the box (20) and second-fewest shots on target (nine). Furthermore, opposition attacks were able to expose their fragility at the back, ensuring that Villa ranked top for goals conceded (11) and big chances conceded (15). Considering that Remi Garde’s men shipped eight goals in their last trio of road clashes, a goalless stalemate would be a surprising outcome.

    Oh man, so close! Last night I chose between Neil Taylor and Fernandez as a one week punt. Ended up choosing Taylor for greater certainty of starts. Darn it!

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 7 months ago

      🙁 . If you had asked me I would had said Naylor was going to start . Unlucky

    2. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Siggy put a fk into the box, about to be contested and Guzan punched it into Fernandez who scored

  25. KingOllie
    10 years, 7 months ago

    The keeper didnt make enough contact to change the direction of the ball
