Swansea City v Stoke City: match preview

These two teams are locked in mid-table with no Europa League aspirations but securing eighth place would guarantee either of them a highest ever Premier League finish. Garry Monk described the game as probably Swansea’s most important of the season, but Stoke will rely on their top scorer Mame Biram Diouf or perhaps on another strike from the in-form Charlie Adam, who will play with a protective mask after breaking his nose in training. Peter Georgiev
