Swansea City will host Bristol City in an EFL Championship fixture at Liberty Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Both sides are heading into the match on the back of defeats in their last outings this mid-week, with the hosts losing 2-1 away to Millwall, while Bristol were beaten 1-0 by Luton Town. As of now, the Swans are languishing at the 17th spot in the English second tier standings, having collected 43 points from 37 games, eight points clear of the relegation zone. The visitors, meanwhile, are sitting at the 13th position, with 48 points to their name, 12 points adrift of the top six.
Harry Darling is hopeful that improved recent performances against play-off chasing opposition will translate into a positive result when Swansea City host Bristol City on Sunday.

Swansea are winless in their last four games, while losing three of those matches. Last time out, the Swans lost to Millwall despite having more than 75% of ball possession and recording 11 shots on target, compared to just three attempts on target for the Lions. Millwall took a 2-0 lead inside ten minutes of the second half, before Swansea pulled one back through Ryan Manning in the 58th-minute. It was Russell Martin’s side’s 16th league-defeat of the season. Meanwhile, Swansea’s last second tier win came against relegation battlers Blackpool (2-1) mid-way through February, thanks to Matthew Sorinola’s first-half opener and an own goal by Callum Connolly, 17 minutes from time.
Bristol City, on the other hand, defeated Blackpool 2-0 last Saturday, courtesy of second half efforts from Andreas Weimann and Alex Scott. It was their 12th second tier victory of the season. For days after the win, The Robins lost to fourth-placed Luton at Kenilworth road, courtesy of Carlton Morris’ lone goal inside the opening four minutes. Since the turn of the year, Nigel Pearson’s side have collected 20 points from 12 matches. But with just nine matches remaining, the Robins are now likely out of contention for a playoff spot.
Swansea City Probable Lineup: Fisher, Darling, Cabango, Wood, Manning, Cundle, Grimes, Ntcham, Cooper, Piroe, Cullen
Bristol City Probable Lineups: O’Leart, Sykes, Vyner, Pring, Dasilva, Scott, King, Cornick, Weimann, Mehmeti, Wells
