Key match stats (supplied by Opta)

There were 12 goals scored in the two Premier League games between these two sides last season; the highest scoring PL fixture in 2016-17.

Swansea have lost just one of their last 12 league meetings with Crystal Palace (W6 D5 L1); this came at Selhurst Park in May 2015 (0-1).

Swansea scored a winning goal in the 88th minute or later in both Premier League games against the Eagles last season.

Crystal Palace have started the season with two defeats – they haven’t lost their first three opening league games to a season since 2012-13; the season that they won promotion back to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs.

Swansea have failed to score in their opening two Premier League matches of 2017-18 and are yet to attempt a single shot on target.

There were 12 goals scored in the two Premier League games between them last season 

The last time that Swansea failed to find the net in their opening three games to a Premier League campaign was in their first season in the competition (2011-12), when it took them five matches to open their goal account.

Should Tammy Abraham score a Premier League goal before October, the young English striker would be only the second teenager to score a goal for Swansea in the competition after Ben Davies (Jan 2013).

Abraham hasn’t registered a shot on target in the Premier League yet, however (163 mins) and overall in league football he hasn’t found the target with a shot in any of his last four appearances (334 mins).

Wilfried Zaha scored in both of Crystal Palace’s Premier League matches against Swansea City in 2016-17, but ended up on the losing side in each match.

Frank De Boer has lost his opening two Premier League games in charge of Crystal Palace - the only Dutch manager to lose his first three games in the competition is Martin Jol (who won his fourth).
