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.

    Bellerin first on the bench.. That Firmino-injury couldn't have come at a better time

  5. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Everybody do the attacking konga!

  6. Hy liverpool

    wtf was that ?! 😆

  7. djenzio

    what do people think of players coming off the bench getting a half points?

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd prefer it.

      1. djenzio
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        me too, it would make the game a little more skilful and would make dead teams less effective

    2. DF
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Like it.

    3. SomewhatPleasing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not a bad idea that.

    4. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you do that, why bother having any subs at all. Just have a team of 11 and be done with it

      1. djenzio
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        because you still get some points from your bench but it means a person who choices to play Mahrez in a tough away fixture gets more reward than somehow who choose to bench and got lucky because their plater got injured in the warm up

    5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Good idea

    6. djenzio
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      and then if BB is used the penalty wouldn't apply, thus making BB more effective

    7. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Can't have players getting .5 of a point though

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This, would be a little weird.

    8. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      So if a player got 3 points, they get 1.5 points?

      1. djenzio
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        yeah guess that's a flaw but would having 0.5 points be that bad?

        1. djenzio
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          or even some sort of penalty, just wondered what other people thought of it as so many lucky points for people coming off the bench, but would be good for all the dead teams in the game.

  8. Irish Madridista ⭐
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If I'm doubling up on Leicester defence, should I get Huth or Simpson alongside Fuchs?

    Could do with the extra cash as a cushion...

    1. Ziro Becomes One
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Simpson if you have Fuchs.

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ta Ziro 🙂

    2. djenzio
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Huth more goal threat but Simpson seems to get more baps

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm... they'll treat every game like a cup final, Huth's goal threat might make a difference.. but so would 0.6m.. 😐

  9. drughi

    Both teams look nervous

    1. twoplustwo

  10. Too Mane Men
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Captain Kane still looking like the right choice minus Mahrez doing the business. I'm almost certain he'll score a penalty tomorrow.

    1. money face bandwagon
