Swansea v West Brom Sat 4 Jan 12:30
Early kick-off for the Swans as the Baggies come to town.
Confusion reigns for us fans as manager-less West Brom go on the hunt for Carlos Corberan’s successor, with Swans head-coach Luke Williams angering many by publicly offering himself up for the job.
Some clarification is needed and perhaps we’ll know more Friday afternoon in the pre-match press conference.
After the 4-0 humiliation at Portsmouth can the team re-group and bounce back to give the Baggies a hard match? Our poor away form last two matches is a concern, but the previous two matches were wins against QPR and Luton and show this team are capable of getting good results on home soil.
We missed midfield dynamo Franco at Portsmouth, he’s out with a facial injury that needed hospital treatment after Luton’s McGuiness targeted him last home game. Joe Allen was back on the bench after injury but was surprisingly not used.
Key centre-back Cabango went off with a groin injury last match and his replacement, loan player Abbey has returned to his parent club.
It’s hard to predict this one, depends who’s fit and which Swansea team turn up on the day.
