This article is more than 6 years old

Carlos Carvalhal takes charge of his first game as the Swansea City manager with the huge task of avoiding relegation on his hands. Lightning will need to strike twice for Swansea as they were bottom at this stage of the season last year. Watford arrested their terrible run last time out and Marco Silva will want to build on that 2-1 Boxing Day home win against Leicester City on Saturday. Graham Searles
