Swansea City v Crystal Palace: match preview

Swansea City v Crystal Palace
Swansea City v Crystal Palace: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

A huge game for both clubs. Swansea are rock bottom of the table and without a victory since the opening day of the season. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, have lost their last five and travel to the Liberty Stadium with Alan Pardew, their manager, under growing pressure. Bob Bradley seems likely to stick with the same side that drew at Everton, so Gylfi Sigurdsson will play as a false No9. Joe Ledley could come back into contention for Palace. Stuart James
