| Match Overview & Stats |
| Swansea City go into today’s game at relegation-threatened Newcastle United under no pressure – something that you would never have predicted a few months ago when the Swans were only a point ahead of the Magpies. But now, the Swans have hit the 40 points mark and are a massive 15 points ahead of a side now managed by Rafa Benitez – the man Guidolin says if he can’t save them – no one can. A win today would see us go past our lowest points total in a Premier League season – when we picked up just 42 points when Monk replaced Laudrup in 2014. A target that Guidolin has in mind. That would be some achievement considering where we were at the turn of the year. It’s a must win game for Newcastle only today, but three points won’t be enough to get them out of the bottom 3 as they’re 6 adrift of 17th placed Norwich City. Jonjo Shelvey faces his former club too, having made a £12m switch to the Magpies in January. A sale that was criticised by some at the time, but the Swans have now been proved right to cash in on the midfielder. Tweet us your thoughts before, during and after the game @VitalSwansea |
