Real Football Man All of the Football, All of the time
Swansea winger Wayne Routledge has overcome the minor knee problem that sidelined him last week.
Defender Angel Rangel sprained his ankle against West Ham but is fit to play on Saturday.
West Brom will be without suspended pair James McClean and Salomon Rondon, who both begin three-match bans.
Saido Berahino is pushing for a recall after six games on the substitutes’ bench, while Claudio Yacob is available following compassionate leave.
Editor’s Note: The slide has worsened for Swansea as not only do they have no win in 13 matches they have slipped into the bottom 3.
A win for Norwich last weekend was bad news for The Swans, but they didn’t help themselves by only registering a 0-0 draw at home to West Ham last weekend, Alan Curtis will again take charge as the hunt for a new Manager continues but the longer it does go on then the less time a new incumbent has to bring his own players when the transfer window opens.
Alan Curtis can use last week’s clean sheet as a platform but the worry has to be the drop in from in their key attacking men such as Gomis, Ayew, Montero and Sigurdsson. If Curtis can get these 4 firing again then they should have enough quality to pull them away from the drop zone.
It won’t be an easy task today as they play host to Tony Pulis’ West Brom, although they will be missing key men in the form of James McClean and Salomon Rondon through suspension with Pulis announcing that McClean will face internal discipine for ugly tackle which led to his sending off against Bournemouth last Saturday.
With West Brom missing key men I think they could be there for the taking today but unfortunately for Swansea I think they are going to be a bit too toothless to kill them off. A draw for me.
