Palace to pile further misery on Swansea

Crystal Palace will look to pile further misery on Swansea City when the teams meet in a Premier League clash at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday, 23 December 2017, kick-off at 17h00 CAT.

Swansea suffered a 3-1 loss at Everton on Monday night. The Welsh club has now won just once in their last 11 matches across all competitions and sit at the bottom of the Premier League log with just 12 points from 18 matches.

Palace, meanwhile, has put together a seven-match unbeaten run in the league to move up to 14th place in the standings. Roy Hodgson’s men are still only two points above the relegation zone, but their improvement has been marked.

This past weekend they put in a particularly impressive showing to defeat an in-form Leicester City 3-0 away from home, with Christian Benteke, Wilfried Zaha and Bakary Sako netting the goals for the Eagles.

Swansea and Palace have met in 15 matches across all competitions. The Swans have claimed seven wins compared to three for the Eagles, while five matches have been a draw.

The teams’ most recent meeting was a Premier League clash in August 2017 which saw Swansea claim a 2-0 win in London thanks to goals from Tammy Abraham and Jordan Ayew. The Swans have lost just one of their last 13 matches against the Eagles.
