After four successive defeats in all competitions, Swansea got the better of Hull City at MKM Stadium on February 10 thanks to Liam Cullen’s lone goal inside the opening 11 minutes. It was their ninth Championship victory of the season, but the Swans failed to build on that success, losing out to Leeds on Tuesday courtesy of two early efforts from Crysencio Summerville and Joel Piroe and Wilfried Gnonto’s brace. It was their fifth defeat from last six fixtures across all competitions. Moreover Luke Williams’s men have been poor in front of their own supporters, taking just 17 points from 16 second tier games at Swansea.com Stadium this term.
Ipswich, on the other hand, went on a four-game winless run in all competitions across January and February, before getting the better of Millwall in the mid-week. The Tractor Boys put four goals past the Lions without reply at the Den thanks to one effort each from Nathan Broadhead, Kieffer Moore and Ali Al-Hamadi, and Wes Harding’s own goal. It was Ipswich’s 18th Championship victory, a much-needed one as it prevented them from falling further behind in the race for a top two finish. Moreover, Kieran McKenna’ side have a game in hand over the top three- Leicester City, Southampton and Leeds. Meanwhile, McKenna’ men have the second-best away-record in the division with 29 points coming from their 16 games on their travels.
Swansea City probable starting lineup: Rushworth, Naughton, Cabango, Humphreys, Tymon, Fulton, Allen, Sagoe Jr, Paterson, Placheta, Yates
Ipswich Town probable starting lineup: Hladky, Clarke, Woolfenden, Burgess, Davis, Morsy, Luongo, Burns, Hutchinson, Broadhead, Moore
