Swansea shared the spoils against Hull thanks to Luke Cundle’s 39th-minute equaliser. The result ended their four game winning run in the Championship, while extended their unbeaten streak to eight matches, winning six games in the process. Russell Martin’s side are now out of the top six race and and can finish only as high as seventh position. The Welsh outfit have won 10 of their 22 league-games at Swansea.com stadium this season and they are heading into the match against West Brom on the back of three wins and a draw from their last four games in front of their own supporters. Joel Piroe has been the standout performer for Swansea this season, having scored 18 second tier goals so far.
West Brom, on the other hand, have a slight chance of securing a top six finish. The Baggies need to take all three points against the Swans and hope Sunderland and Millwall fail to secure a playoff spot. Carlos Corberan’s side came from behind to defeat Norwich last time out courtesy of Conor Townsend’s equaliser on the stroke of half-time and Jed Wallace’s winner ten minutes into the second-half. It was their 18th Championship-victory of the season. Although West Brom have the sixth-best home-record in the league, they haven’t been great on the road, collecting just 26 points from 22 second tier away-matches.
Swansea City probable starting lineup: Fisher, Latibeaudiere, Cabango, Wood, Manning, Grimes, Ntcham, Cundle, Cullen, Paterson, Piroe
West Brom probable starting lineup: Palmer, Furlong, Ajayi, Pieters, Townsend, Molumby, Yokuslu, Wallace, Swift, Grant, Thomas-Asante
