Big Sam and West Ham are having a blast of a season, but Swansea are on their trail before the match at Liberty Stadium. Here is the Match of the Week.


Swansea City v West Ham
English Premier League
Liberty Stadium
10-01-2014 @ 15.00 GMT









How are the two sides current form?

Swansea felt the heat against Liverpool in the last days of 2014, as Fabianski had a nightmare on the pitch. At least two of Liverpool's four goals could be blamed on the Polish goalkeeper. However, The Swans took a draw against QPR last round and are in form after a 6-2 win against Tranmere in the FA Cup.

West Ham had a terrible Christmas with two defeats against London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal, but kept their position in the table with a draw against West Bromwich Albion,

Swansea have only won one of the last five matches against West Ham; back in 2012.

What are the probable line ups?

Swansea will have to do without Jefferson Montero suffering from a hamstring injury and Jonjo Shelvey serving a ban. 

West Ham are without Diafra Sakho who is suffering from a back injury.

Fabianski

Rangel - Fernandez - Williams - Taylor

Britton - Ki

Dyer - Sigurdsson - Routledge

Bony
______________________________

Sakho - Carroll

Downing

Nolan - Noble

Song

Cresswell - Reid - Collins - Jenkinson

Adrian

Worth keeping an eye on

Swansea - Lukasz Fabianski: The Polish goalkeeper had a nightmare against Liverpool, but the former Arsenal man is back in form. He can be a decisive player against West Hams Sakho and Carroll attack.



West Ham - Winston Reid: The Danish-New Zealand defender is soon to be former West Ham player, but at the moment he is vital to the West Ham defense. He has the pace to keep up Bony.


What to expect from this match?

The statisctics talk for a West Ham win, but Swansea are not going to make it easy for the Londoners. The Swans have played well this season and especially Gylfi Sigurdsson have been in great form. West Ham is hanging on to the top teams and need a win to stay in touch with Arsenal and Tottenham. The East Londoners have played well on away days and have three draws, three losses and three wins. Saturday, they are most likely to add another win to the statistics. 

What are the odds?

Swansea: 11/8 (Totesport)

Draw: 5/2 (StanJames)

West Ham: 23/10 (Williamhill)
