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.
