Rounding off the week’s excitement, an embattled Swansea City outfit welcome West Ham United to the Liberty Stadium. The Swans are in desperate need of a pick-me-up, having recorded a solitary win in the last 12 Gameweeks. As for the Hammers, they’ll be striving for their first win in six.
Without a clean sheet over the last four Gameweeks, Swansea have charted joint-third for goals conceded (eight) and joint-fifth for shots inside the box conceded (36). Furthermore, only three sides have seen their defence breached on more occasions at home (12) than the Welsh club. Their prime shortcoming, however, is a dreadful shot-conversion rate: Swansea have racked up just three goals since Gameweek 11, drawing four blanks in six outings.
A plethora of injuries among the Irons’ attacking ranks has blunted their attack, resulting in the joint-fewest goals (two) over the last four Gameweeks – despite the fact they placed joint-sixth with Tottenham Hotspur for attempts (60). On a more positive note, West Ham conceded just one goal in their last three match-ups, so they’ll certainly fancy their chances of rebuffing Swansea’s misfiring attack.
