Swansea City

Preston North End

Russell Martin on Preston manager Ryan Lowe:ย ย “Theyโ€™ve done brilliantly under Ryan. He did a fantastic job at Plymouth. Heโ€™s already changing the style.

“Very similar to his Plymouth side, they like to dominate the ball and press really hard. Itโ€™ll be a difficult game.

“They’ve been in a really good run of form since heโ€™s gone in. Theyโ€™re physical, aggressive and heโ€™s turned them into a team he wants them to be.

“Itโ€™s not going to be easy as theyโ€™re physical and relentless.”

Ryan Lowe on Swansea City:ย โ€œTheyโ€™re very well organised, very well coached. A brand of football thatโ€™s great, risky at times, but thatโ€™s Russ, he wants to do that.

โ€œI play the same style myself, but I have different risk elements than Russ does. Theyโ€™re always on the front foot and they want to play.

โ€œHeโ€™s got a very good coaching brain, a good coaching philosophy of where he wants to try and get Swansea City to.”
