After such a bleak run, Swansea have picked up seven points from a possible nine to scramble clear of the bottom three and they badly need to continue that momentum against an out-of-form Crystal Palace. Alan Pardew’s team have dropped from fifth to 12th place after losing five league games on the spin and their long injury list now includes the names of James McArthur and Jason Puncheon. Alberto Paloschi looks sets to make his full debut for Swansea, who will be without Ki Sung-yueng. Stuart James
